at home

ran 3 errands jus now.. went to buy tamp to buy stuff. for a while looked like a lost cause.. went 2nd location and it was closed for lunch.. sigh.. was like thinking.. help, Dad! ..found wat i was looking for too in the 2nd location, so 1st 2 errands completed! and then went to collect ticket so finished all 3 erands in the end.. hee. thank You Father. it wasn lost journeys in the end..

sleepy now.. been sleeping at abt 2-3 am past few weeks! not a good habit to cultivate. but den nowadays the idea of sleeping before 12 seems unfamiliar to me.. uh oh.. mayb too playful areadi.. hee. a bit hyper lah.. :)

concerned for some of my friends. but just pray and trust in God.. He is God, the Lord our God. exercise faith. :) He is able to make all grace abound to us. Praises to our Father! :)

ps. sylvester where r u, add me on my new skype.. skype name is szeshan

especially to WanPing!

heh.. was musing..

i dont think i've ever told you that i'm proud of you. well, i am. for the choices u made, for the testimony you give for our Lord. for the person you have grown up to be. (perhaps its true, we are shaped partly by the choices we make.)

perhaps your family doesn really understand, and i know they mus give you q a bit of heartache w comments i'm sure they'll make now and then. but i know you are in good hands.. the hands of our Father..

and i know the job you have chosen for this time(fulltime at church) has areadi touched many lives and will continue to be used greatly by our Lord (in many ways you will not even know) esp for many at a stage of their youth, which will influence the choices they make for the rest of their lives (its an impt business ur in, yknow). so i pray u will continue to be of good courage in our Lord, and He will sustain and cause increase to the steadfast, yet compassionate, shepherd's heart you already have..

hows dis for a pass-it-on card..!

heh.. KS say maybe in China i cannot access blogspot, so i 'immortalise' this here.. keke

i'm so glad our Father let us be frens.. ive been q encouraged by you, yknow.. at many impt moments.. :)

who wat how why

................................................................................! oh mann...

jus one of these moments.

oh settled my insurance things today.! praise God. :)

blessed time at dental prayer meet today.. prayer and fellowship..! now feeling a bit hyper. heh.

fav song!!(now)

ooh!!! my fav song... (rite now)!!!!! here it is

http://www.createdtoworship.org/

go to music segment and click e song "show me Your face"

:)

Psalm 42:7
"Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls.."

i love dis verse..

“ When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. ” Psalm 94: 18-19

came upon this verse in the website.. i like it too.. yeah.. praise the Lord! :)

gathering

had gathering yest.. farewell gatherings, 6 dentists at tea, and 20 plus church family at tanglin club..

yah, q touched by each person who was there and their friendship and fellowship, and prayers, gifts, encouragement, support..

i think the family of God is amazing, v blessed..

something i didnt realise abt gng away.. the feeling of loss.. tho i know i dont really lose my family and frens and there's email and all dat but yah, there's still a certain sense of loss in having to participate in a different way due physical limitations. will miss seeing them for service, dinners, and all the exciting things, victories, ups and downs in their lives..

yah, okie lah, jus recognising what i feel.. trust God to provide a family of God there too.. there's a verse that says anyone who leaves behind family(fathers, mothers etc), God will give back many fathers mothers etc.. yah, trust God that the family here is definately well taken care of too. :) actually am aso v thankful that before i leave, most things seem to be taken care of.. pple connected and in good hands.. Praise God!

haha, weighed my luggage again today, cos discussing w Ed et al yest find so strange my empty luggage cannot be 17kg.. and realised i had looked at e wrong scale, its 17 lbs, which is only abt 7 kg..!! and called travel agent who will apply ano 10 kg for me so my total baggage weight is now up to 30 kg..! phew.. thank God.. sometimes things are jus there and u cant see it!! maybe that's a bit like how the disciples walked and talked with Jesus, without recognising Him, for very long, then suddenly realised it was Him.

now gng thru some insurance stuff.. hmm..

5 loaves and 2 fish

first want to thanks God for my medical checkup, yah retest was sort of ok, no more protein but has sugar instead! doc said it was ok n passed me. hee. :)

thank God for the brother doc who waived my charges..

God spoke to me and gave me new understanding abt a verse.. actually it was a word to pray for someone, but i learned fr it too. and she later confirmed the word that He had spoke to her abt it earlier. (cool! praise God. (:) He said, in the whole mountain of people, 5000 men(not even counting the women and children), it took a boy to give Jesus his five loaves and two fish. a child. God said not to look at/down on ourselves, but to look at Him, and that He only looks for a willing heart. Men of great talent but who have no God, it is no use.

yah, thot dat was q cool. :)

me gng bintan tomo w Wanping! tues to thurs! she been working v hard! hee. pray for a blessed time. do sense the spiritual battle is ongoing, especially during this time of yr (7th month). lets be vigilant n aware..

Lord i also pray for my mummy for healing of her glaucoma situation (discovered today). please keep her in peace and her eyes on You. i speak Your healing upon her eyes in Jesus Name. amen. thank You, Lord.

dunno.. now need to fix it up.. im not really comp savvy(understatement).. sniff.. Dear Lord, please help me..

oh dis morn i booked e ticket to Kunming for 6th sept.. Thai airways to Kunming..

sometimes flashes of how i wld miss many things esp pple(u know who u r), n angel.. well.. try not to think so much.. .. sometimes wonder if dat equates to suppression.. but i know dats my mind's way of coping.. and at suitable moments.. it will let itself be sad for a while.. its okie..

got my july pay.. calculated in my favour.. hee. am thankful for it and the many nice pple i met..

met L for dinner jus now.. :) went to look at luggage at carrefour.. not bad.. abt $43. will go back to get it next time..

my visa advert..
laptop:$1780
thumbdrive: $65..
to go where He leads.. : priceless! :)

what wil happen when i go there.. i dont know.. but no matter what does or does not happen.. a recurring thought.. it is a privilege to give my time to Jesus.. no mushiness here.. it really is.

its 2 again

ahh!! 2 again..!! been sleeping at 2 or 3 am every nite since last week.. its tiring mann.. i pray i will have good sleeping habits.. (ie 11pm)

sometimes i get tired of sorting out with all these prep to go china.. seems like so many? and some need to do a few times? sob.. sometimes i feel tired.. and also wish i could be at home more..

pray will settle laptop tomo.. and suddenly felt that i needed to keep in prayer while im preparing to go.. so that things will go smoothly and my time will be more efficiently spent, leading to less stress and strain in time.. yah.. its a vicious cyle when u dont keep in prayer.. like my medical checkup.. need to go twice when once could have sufficed.. yes.. i sense my Father is reminding me. the battle is ongoing..

9/8/05

tired of thinking of things to name my blog. perhaps shld jus put e date fr now on..

yest and today were fun. went to marina bay with students, frens.. heh.. it was great.. found it very fun! when the stars appeared and the students, audience got q excited and screamed and waved.. heh.. perhaps i would hv made a good groupie? watever it was, their enthusiam made me chuckle, and i enjoyed being w them.. keke.. blessed too by bro GJ who gave me, Lit and R a ride home.. thanks mann. oh and there were fireworks at midnite too

today went to watch Charlie and the chocolate fact!! i love Roald Dahl books!!! the movie was fun and imaginative(like the book, tho i like the book more!) haha.. some parts were really funny.. we wanted to watch the fireworks.. unfortunately, were a bit slow and not sure where they would come fr.. got distracted by a few fr the padang..

next time know areadi.. mus go to Fullerton front.. aiyah// guess we jus missed the thing by a few minutes.. can be q frus when u can hear the sound of it but are blocked by buildings.. den again.. made me think of how, in life, we can be so near yet so far.. like how sometimes we may think we are near enough to God, but we jus missed it, and we miss Him and His Splendour and Glory.. and wat a vast difference that makes. and the sad thing is we may not even know it.. until in grace, our hearts are enlightened one day.. how can we search for something we dont know we lack.. Dear Lord.. give us grace.. and mercy.. that we may know.. yah... also made me think of the part of the bible where it talks abt the gnashing of teeth for those who are too late and locked out forever.. ..help us Lord.. help those who are lost be found..

God is a God of abundance

was counting jus now.. and i realised that God has already raised 6 mths of living expenses for my china trip through work bonus, shares and donations..! Praise God! yah.. wat is there to say sometimes, except, Praise God. thank You Father.. i know You care.. yah.. and i appreciate my friends who have come up to me and expressed their wish to support financially.. the heartfelt support in the gesture is really q priceless. Another expression of the amazingness of God..

with regards to the trip, i had always felt He challenged me to believe in Him to raise the full sum and more.

"Am I not the God of abundance?"

Malachi 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.

yeah.. my God is really really cool.. :)
