At 2.30 am, the Lord woke me to read a passage of Scripture from Prov 3:3. Was experiencing a test where the Lord was putting me through to guard my heart against an offence, largely because it was not my fault and not within my control.
The Lord reminded me to never let loyalty and kindness leave me, tie them around my neck as a reminder, write them deep within my heart. Then I will find favor both with God and people and earn for myself a good reputation. I am to trust the Lord with all my heart, not to depend on my own understanding, especially in this delicate situation and to seek His will in all that I do, believing that He will definitely show me which path to take.
I thank God for a breakthrough after last evening's ordeal. Indeed Prov 3:13 is true! Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. As I chose to submit my heart to the Lord and acted right, I received an affirmation in the situation and am praying that all will go well.

Miraculous Open Doors
The Lord has been opening many doors for me as I prepare ahead. The way He has been affirming and confirming my moves are really miraculous. No wonder Matthew 6:33 says that if we Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things will be added to us. We need not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will care for itself.
This is really the love of God, the Heavenly Father. The birds of the air neither sow nor reap yet God feeds them. We are definitely of much worth to God compared to the birds.
Lord, give us an un-offendable heart ... supernatural boldness, strength and stamina to run the next lap for you!

Awesome Presence
Today's worship service in Hall 10 was awesome. I really felt the presence of the Lord and was sobbing in tears during the worship as SP released such prophetic words. There was a supernatural and sweet anointing all around.
God ministered to my heart and assured me about my existence through the song .."Jesus, I believe in You, Jesus I belong to You, You the reason that I live, the reason that I sing, with all I am". Indeed, I was declaring back to my own heart of my faith and trust in Jesus and that I really belonged to Him and no one else. He knows what lies ahead for me and I can be assured.

Love Your Neighbour As Yourself
SP shared at 1728 meeting about the above mentioned. Was pondering much about this and Os Hillman summarised this well for us ....
Today's Prayer
Dear God, Are there any areas in my life that have not come under the lordship of Christ? Is there any lack of obedience that will prevent me from being used fully by you? God, please search me, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me. Please lead me in the way everlasting (based on Psalm 139:23-34). I praise you and lift you up, for you are God Almighty. In Jesus' name I thank You. Amen.

"I have brought You glory on earth by completing the work You gave Me to do" (John 17:4).
Have you ever had a big project to do and felt great when you'd finished the job and it was a big success? Angie worked on a big project in the 1996 Olympics which involved placing 2000 family members of foreign athletes into Christian homes. It was a massive project, but it was a rewarding experience to see the job completed.
The Lord has revealed to us that the number one thing we are to do is love the Lord our God with all our heart and to love our neighbor as ourselves. His desire is for us to know Him and the power of His resurrection. These mandates deal with our relationship with Him. The fruit of this relationship must then result in our glorifying Him by completing the work He has given each of us to do. It will become a by-product of this relationship, not an end in itself.
What is the work God has called you to do? Jesus never did anything the Father had not instructed Him to do. He lived in such communion with the Father that He knew when to turn left and when to turn to the right. Is it possible to have such a relationship with our heavenly Father? I think that if it weren't, He would not have given us such an example.
"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" (Jer. 33:3). What has He called you to do? Perhaps you are called to be the best lawyer in your city or the best advertising executive or the best office worker or assembly line person in your company. Whatever work He has called you to, He will use you as His instrument to accomplish something that He has uniquely prepared you to do.
When our life is complete, what a glorious day it will be if we can each say, "I have completed the work You gave me to do." This will have brought great glory to Him.

Timor - Response
On Thur, I attended a Timor Prayer Meeting and felt God tug at my heart to serve a year there, especially with the kids in the schools. As I make preparation of my heart, I am committing the timing as well as trusting God to open doors because, I believe that He will make all things beautiful in His time.
Am praying as I just saw the news that Timor Leste was hit by an earthquake that measured 6.5 on the Richter scale today.

What Are Our Fathers Like?
We had a wonderful but teary time of sharing what our earthly fathers were like or is like during our G12 meeting tonight. The Lord has been revealing to us different aspects of His heart and His life through our earthly fathers. We are also learning to see God and appreciate and treat our earthly fathers much better.
There was a time of ministry when some of us shared how abusive, controlling, angry, flirtatious, non-communicative, inexpressive fathers we had and had to take time to repent and seek God's forgiveness for feeling resentful and bitter towards them. The Lord led us to intercede for each other and, in particular, for the sick among us as well as for a little unwanted foetus which aborted itself recently.
Personally for me, Papa was a lovely and sweet man. Very unassuming and doted on me, being the youngest and a girl. He loved the family very much and my fondest memories of him was that he spent time bringing us on various outings, teaching me to ride a bicycle, encouraging me to take up driving etc. He was a man devoted to his work and loved my mother a lot. He would wait downstairs for her when she returned late and he was such a great provider and protector of the family. He was also filial to his mother and aunt who used to live together with us. The only regret was that he left us too soon when he lost a battle to cancer at the age of 46. I was 16 years old then.
Guess the Lord is bringing a healing to our hearts and a deeper revelation about Himself so that we could better gaze at His beauty and majesty!

Principal's meeting
Thank God that the NTUC meeting with the Principals went well. I felt God's presence with all the wonderful prayers as well as all the support. God granted favor!
Soon after the meeting, I already received news that a few centres would like to pilot the program and would like me to meet them again. I now had an idea of what bidding for a tender was like! Haha!
God really has great plans for me - plans to prosper me, not to harm me! I constantly have to remind myself of such promises when the going gets tough.
I'm remembering a dear friend's birthday today. Bless A with strength, joy, rest and a new walk with JESUS! Enjoy!!

Father's Heart
I attended a Father Heart conference in the midst of my busy schedule.
As I was listening to the speaker, I was asking the Father what He thought of my heart... and was committing my heart and my total being, especially the areas of my fears to Him. I felt assured that My Father was directing and comforting me.
In fact, I received tangible tokens of appreciation and affirmation from PAPA. Can you imagine? I conducted 2 different parties for 2 different families today and I received 2 different tokens of appreciation from them. It's unusual because they 'pay' me to conduct parties instead they gave me gifts on top of my service. I was awestruck! More than that, one of them owns a famous R & G cake shop which we patronise often. How blessed I felt!
I am learning to partner with Papa God with all my up and coming projects. He is aligning my heart to develop a new relationship and intimacy with Him! Just like Jesus who is constantly doing the will of the Father, I want to do likewise. Nite...

Infection
I have been fighting an infection, both throat and UTI for the past week. It has been horrendous ... due to hectic and busy schedules with holiday programmes for KA and 'drilling' of kids taking PSLE. Sigh. Actually, I am quite amazed that I am still alive. Have been working 15 hours or more a day for the past week. Ha!
I have been clinging on to Phil 1:13. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Only the strength of the Lord and love of the Father prevents me from literally collapsing!
