Good day? Mixed Day...

Oh i remember now, why it was mentioned as Good day. It was threatening to rain outside our house, but i went ahead and drove to Taman Tun. As i approached the toll, it was raining and quite seriously. Under my breath, i ask God.......Please soften the rain in the park. I was bargaining with God that if there were at least 10 cars, i would walk too, if not turn back. The rain as i approach the caltex station seem adamant to be heavy. But........of course my prayers were answered! There were quite a few cars, and in my mind's eye, i think there were at least 10, so i got into my raincoat and with i pod in ears, i walked.I had christian songs blasting in my ear, and it was nice as there were very few people so i could actually lift my hands sometime and sing along......yes people who saw me must have thought a looney...

Later in the morning, had breakfast appointment with my princess at Mac Donalds in Centre point. It was nice as we chatted about different things in life and going ons. She was receptive and hopefully will remember and come to church this sunday as she is back on saturday from Gold Coast. i brought her the chicken soup for her supper or lunch, herbal type she likes. It was nice time and i hugged and kissed her as we both had things to do as it was just after noon.

Good day as when i went to Church office for my prayer we had quite a bit to share and there were so many perspectives of life i felt i was in touch with. I shared about the possibility of starting a morning tuesday group with GM and possibly Pauline. Tomorrow i had dinner appointment with Eva, sadly someone whom did not have people and had to run back to South Africa just for support. Well, we will see if she connects and maybe join us in tuesdays get together when it starts.

Friday is breakfast with Laura and need to share with her what i did in my last mission trip and see how she can fit in and encourage her to quickly book her ticket. This weekend i would like to play a video bloop for the marriage course.Mixed day, because towards the end of the day, i read that there was an earth quake in indonesia. I need to pray for God to have mercy and comfort those affected....Father God, have mercy and turn not your wrath on us, please Lord, have mercy to limit the calamaties and fatalities. Father i trust you and i thank you for you hear our prayers. Lord please continue to watch over my children, especially Princess and keep her safe as she travels and First Born too, keep them under your wings of protection and shower them with your LOVE Lord that they may experience you. I praise and give thanks in your most precious name, in Jesus name.......Amen

My Sunday..........

It is 27th September 2009 Sunday and the clock on the computer says 10.52pm, and am seated outside at the patio, seated on the long bench and legs propped up. Smile on my face as i get to do this thing i like.......WRITING and EXPRESSING and there is music on the reliable Philips cd player as Rod Stewart accompanies me. Don in my pink colored pants and pink sleeves top which is my jammie for tonight!

After church and the EGM and being appointed along with others to be in the Pastor Search Committee, i am not excited, it can only be a daunting task. What was the feeling? Numbness, thoughts also who will be the secretary or secretaries, i hope not me, i can see some characters or strong styles and guess i should just pray and truly ask God to steer and guide us and bring forth unity. Am also wondering if and when my first born reads this and has an exclamation on her face as to why am i doing this. Well, things have happened and a new Senior pastor needs to be in place. Am sorry, but sooner or later she will find out. I think what is important is not what happen, but what is going to happen and how are we going to cope. How are we moving forward. Was with mixed feelings also when was asked about budget for previous retreat. Well, Lord give her wisdom and do not dampen her spirit.

This sunday after lunch and hearing the exciting news about my girl friend's first date with Mr Melbourne, i was so glad for her. Thank God for the fine weather and traffic as we prayed. Was also encouraging to hear her say his friends are christians too. Fast forward, browsed and bought a book about LOW CARBS, looking at myself in the mirror....argh i have really let myself go, and got to really watch it.

Well, the old lampshade has found a spot at my patio and got the cross fixed, got the key box and 2 wooden art hung up finally..............Eyelids getting a little heavy as i type now. Ok, gotta share the photos, oh the garden has been trimmed, am glad...........It is really really nice just sitting out at the patio, with the breeze and some fireworks as hari raya was just a few days ago. Thank you Lord for this is LIFE.............

Rainbow....

They say that God gave us the rainbow as a PROMISE HE will not bring destruction to the earth as He did during Noah's time, as He was so grieved and displeased with the actions of men. To me, sighting the rainbow this morning was God telling me He is pleased with what i am doing. There was a time when i served the Lord and i wondered and wanted to check my heart if i was being right in doing the things i was doing. Was i faithfully doing things He wanted me to do, so as i prayed and asked God, I asked Him to show me a rainbow if i was doing the right thing. So this morning, when i see a rainbow i will know i am doing the right things and not doing things righteously.

i was in 2 minds about going to visit my childhood friend for the holiday season. A bit of "did not want to make the effort", a bit of "no need la" attitude. Then, i recalled the sermon over the weekend and also remember how God wants us to demonstrate His love, be His channel of blessing to others so that He will be glorified. i baked the cake, and made the pineapple tarts, and shush.... forgot to take the pictures, but it was indeed a pretty sight, with my red organza tied with the pineapple tarts in a nice re cycled box and my heart shaped butter cake as a gift when i visited her. i shared with my friend about how God's word ministered to me in so many aspects of my daily living. i shared with her proverbs 19:11 where God showed me how and why i should overlook an offense. i sowed His seeds and word of God to my muslim friend, whilst being sensitive and still glorifying my God, no apologies needed. When a few other friends came, our chat nicely closed. What perfect timing God has so that I will sow, but not overwhelm as He knows the evangelistic nature in me could go on and on... We had lunch.....a few ladies and some non believers.

The very same evening i called upon my girl friends and we had fellowship in my house, we had a ball with Scrabble and a repeat of Taboo.......i was truly truly almost rolling on the floor as i held my tummy and bladder. As i spent time this morning, the devotion was about being matured, it was that we are to be infants of things of evil, but matured in the word of God. How great God is, an as i opened my main door this morning to sit at my patio, the rainbow was in full view of my sight. I said under a whisper, Jesus Thank you, you are pleased with what i have done.........I have loved others as you have loved me, never mind about whether they will ever receive you, it is your job, not mine. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. As i just returned from giving courage to a friend to move and make a decision, as i continue to sit at the porch and enjoying the breeze, i thank you Lord for the rainbow... i thank you my daughter arrived back safely yesterday from Perth, and having a good rest. I thank you my first born is at peace and the family she lives with there show love in their own ways.........I thank you Lord because you are good.......all the time....In your son's most precious name, I THANK YOU........

Sing Praises to Him........

Thank you sweet sweet Lord, because you indeed are Jehovah Jireh, the provider. Thank you for the new tenant who so quickly paid a deposit, what perfect timing. Thank you for time spent with my princess, thank you that we watched Lizzie together. Father i exalt you and how you hear my prayers. Thank you for really just eliminating the sms as we watched Lizzie and her hilarious way of sharing your good news with my princess. Thank you for imparting creative talent to Lizzie to reach out to others in a different way.

Lord, thank you for friends like Rachel and Maria, for being my praying partners. Thank you Lord for your Rhema word to me, thank you for your healing balm as i am better at peace. Lord heal her,my dear sister of the pain she is enduring. Thank you Lord for your word of John 6:63 and the reminder when one speaks and operate from the flesh,it results to nothing, but with the Spirit it truly gives LIFE.

Father thank you for who you are and what you do. Though i may not see it , Lord I believe. I also TRUST you, thank you Lord for Dr Paul Ang and his teaching on anointing.........Thank you that tomorrow morning will push away the night and darkness. I praise you Lord, i exalt you and I thank you for who you are. In JESUS most precious name....Amen

It's painful..........

So many things happened recently. First my first born shares some disturbing news about her boyfriend's situation, and then this. Receiving an email telling me not to contact her or her husband ever again. Whilst she knew my intentions were pure, she was upset, upset with every little thing that crosses her path and her husband's. i replied with an email apologising as that is all i can say, and said i did not realise my action of inviting her husband for lunch was inappropriate until he said NO.

i know she is hurting but her reaction is..... i really don't know what to say. All i could say is i was sorry and that i would continue to pray for them. How could i share this with someone else, her strong email with a cc to her husband. How could i share this with anyone for that matter. Father, i pray that you take the pain away from my dear sister. Lord, help heal her as quickly as you can. Let not their relationship go from where it is to a poorer level. Let her heal and learn to trust him once again. Father, thank you for giving me grace and understanding and not take it to heart her retort and her request for me not to contact her or her husband ever again. Erase this from my memory

Thank you Lord for this new tenant. Please Lord grant salvation to Fong's parents too. I just come to the foot of your cross and ask that you help me overcome this season of challenges. In Jesus name........

I praise and exalt you..........
