Happy Birthday Poopietoo ... That's my adorable nephew! We had a wonderful family lunch together as we celebrated his birthday. My my, how time flies .... He turns 9 today! Still remembered cuddling and rocking him to sleep as a baby .... Boy, am i ageing? Sigh sigh ... Hee!
Hey you know what? I received a confirmation of a new salary adjustment from KA today. I am so happy because I know the Lord had allowed me to walk through this season of fear, intimidation & uncertainty just clinging on to Him and trusting that He is MY PROVIDER .. Here's a little glimpse of affirmation to share with you from my boss in HK ... "You are doing a great job and I definitely am of the view that I need to review your remuneration."
This has taught me a precious lesson. If we have a need, bring it first before the Lord and when the timing is right, bring it up also to higher and proper authorities with respect and honor ... you might just receive a token of blessing in return. Hee!

"Facing The Giants"
You know, we watched this movie at G12 meeting last night. It was inspiring and a timely reminder for me because many of us have 'giants' (of fear, insecurity etc) that we need to face up to boldly on a daily basis. The question is, do we dare to trust God that WITH HIM, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE or do we bury our heads in the ground, like the ostrich pretending that all is well or wallowing in self-pity?
I had to face 2 'big giants' today as I made very bold steps to rise up in faith. I prayed much about these two delicate situations and declared VICTORY! The first had to do with the loan application which I made to HDB. The second was about a new personal proposal that would emerge from KA. Both had to do with my future plans and the Lord reminded me that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. If we choose to keep doing right, walking in faith and seeking Him, He will direct our paths and make it straight.
Do you know, each time I see the Lord leading and guiding my every step, I feel so blessed that I want to cry out loud? All I can do is just praise the Lord and testify of His goodness again and again!
Boo hoo hoo ... Thank You, Jesus!

Loan Application
Today, I finally submitted the HDB loan application. Wonder if God will grant favor and success in this as I know it is my first step to sourcing for a unit?
I have heard 2 success stories recently about how the Lord led them to their specific needs.
May the Lord - Jehovah Jireh provide for me, just as He did for them!

Affirmation
I felt a great sense of affirmation today when Ps Eugene preached on a cutting-edge ministry and BEING a cutting-edge where ever we are... by FAITH.
Recently, I have been asking the Lord about the supernatural and about my call in the ministry and in the 'marketplace' where He has directed me to be so far. I have experienced many wonderful testimonies of favor, grace and provision. Incidentally, I am still trusting God to help me a) STEP OUT of my comfort zone, b)STAND OUT because God is faithful and keeps His word and c) SPEAK OUT to declare that God is righteous and He will save.
I am learning this precious lesson of the Blessing of Obedience.....
"For dreams to come true, you first need to wake up" .. this quote is so true. Many of us are living in our own comfy niches, afraid to move out and make a difference. May the Lord grant us His presence, boldness and courage to step out to transform lives as He directs.

Ps 139 - Memorised!
This is such a beautiful psalm to memorise especially when I have been rather physically exhausted and weary. The Lord ministered to me through this Psalm which I memorised... let me attempt...
You have searched me and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and lying down, You are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue, You know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in - behind and before. You have laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your Presence? If I go up to the heavens, You are there. If I make my bed in the depth, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle in the far side of the sea, even there You are with me, Your right hand holds me fast.
If I'd say, surely the darkness will hide me, the night will be light around me. Even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night will shine like the day, and darkness will be as light to You.
For You created me in my inmost being, You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depth of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book, before one of them came to being.
How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God. How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count to, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
If only You would slay the wicked; Away from me you blood thirsty men! They speak of You with evil intent, Your adversaries misuse Your name. Do I not hate those who hate You and abhor those who rise up against You? I have nothing but hatred for them, I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is an offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.
Amen!

Die Of Exhaustion ...
Have you ever thought you will die from exhaustion? I did! The number of things which I rushed out back to back today nearly killed me!
From preparing for my party at home, to marketing, to decorating my cake for my evening party, to entertaining my friends, to cleaning the house, to conducting a kid's birthday party, to preparing for a school project tomorrow, to preparing my own dinner, to c-o-l-l-a-p-s-i-n-g ..... that's what I felt was going to happen to me.
In all of this, I can declare Ps 139 : 13 .. for you formed my inward parts. You have covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works and that my soul knows very well. You know, God knows how much I can bear ... and I have truly experienced the strength and the mercies of the Lord again and again!

Popiah Party
In celebration and honor of C, Aunty and B, I decided to have a popiah party at my place tomorrow for 'branch' - as in breakfast and lunch. Wow, it's sure a lot of work preparing for it! Thank God for my brother's helper, my dear mother and grandma for their loving, helping hands ....
On top of my busy KA schedules .... and sigh, today the silly cake shop supplied me a wrong cake in preparation for tomorrow's party. Had to make them do a special delivery tomorrow morning. Rush rush .....
But, I am happy to play host to my dear ladies and their families to 'honor' them. The Lord has been teaching me personal lessons about honoring our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and serving them whenever there is an opportunity. I feel a great sense of awe when the Lord reveals these truths to me.
So, let's enjoy a time of feasting and celebrating the Lord - How pleased the Lord will be when brethren dwell together in unity! Ps 133

Exams Over
Phew! What a relief! I have been so busy with kids exams and I am relieved that they're all over. Results are out. Some did well while others did not. Sigh, guess those who did put in effort, benefitted!
As for me, I have been physically tired. Primarily because I have been working non-stop from morning to evening plus cell, church meetings
& Kookyart workshops and parties etc.
One good thing is that I have been spending time meditating on God's Word. Last evening, I completed half the passage on Ps 139. What a precious word for my soul during this time ... Indeed, O Lord, you have searched me and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise, You perceive my thoughts from afar...

New Kid On The Block
After many months of prayer, I finally got my new kid on the block to join my G12. Thank God for the way He has allowed Bel to join us and the transition was so smooth. Unbelievable!! With God, all things are possible! Just believe!
We welcome her and we are looking forward to serving together with her in this new journey!
Welcome, Bel! Hope you have many wonderful days with us! We love and appreciate you!
And gals, I am so proud of each and every one of you .... we put in so much effort to memorise the chunks of Scripture together! Let's keep the Spirit up and keep allowing the WORD OF GOD to live through us. HOORAY!

Meditating Day & Nite
The next passage of Scripture that I just completed memorising is from Ps 119:9-16 . Hoho, let me attempt...
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your word. I will seek You with all my heart, do not let me stray from Your commands. I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.
Praise be to You, O Lord, teach me Your decrees. With my lips, I will recount all the laws that come from Your mouth. I rejoice in following Your statutes, as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on Your precepts and consider Your ways. I delight in Your decrees and I will not neglect Your word!

Our New Car
Was quite excited as I went with Mum to collect the new car today at Sin Ming... say Hi, if you see an olive green Toyota Vois SJE 5393M on the road.
God is good! He provides much for us, even in times of recession, inflation etc. In fact, the Bible in Ps 128 says .. Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways. You will eat the fruit of your labour; blessings and prosperity will be yours. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table. Thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord ....
