God answers my prayer

i went to china town this afternoon,
wanna look for a tailor to alter my UB4 camp t-shirt.
the size is too big 4 me even though i m getting xs. ^sigh^
i ask God to show me and bring me to a tailor in half an hour.
i am laughing at myself...i feel tt dun noe if God
is angry wif me or not. heyy i m demanding kz.
but anw i walked n looked out for tailor shop
in tt shopping mall. then i came to this small shop
on the 2nd level (A12), people park complex.
there are 2 ladies in the shop.
so i asked them, "do you alter t-shirt?"
to my surprise one of e ladies answered "yes"
i was lyke "arh...my prayer comes true!"
my heart was filled wif joy...realli...
hey God is listening to me.
God is so good.

i am thinking i am just asking a small thing,
and God answers my prayer instantly.
of course i have to say tt sometimes my prayers
are not answered immediately just like 2dae.
sometimes we got to "wait", or perhaps sometimes
God's answer is "no".
this incident once again reminds me tt we must
learn to be grateful for everything.
be thankful for both great and small things/ blessings
in life...learn to be contented in good or bad situations.

ya i think even though i cant find the tailor to alter
e shirt, i still have so much things to thank God for.
i am much much fortunate than so many pple,
think of those who are less fortunate, those who are
sick, those who are fighting battle wif their own desires,
u can give a long loooonnnng list...hahaha...
tell u, i am not going to grumble..
i am not going to waste my life complaining,
i wanna be contented wif wad i have in life.
cheers!

A tiring day

a tiring day lor. reached home ard 11pm
after doing the volunteering work at bt batok.
my heart is always filled wif a sense of achievement
when i saw the children n guided them in
small group discussion. and i always felt
very happy to be wif them.
some of them are so decent, others so keen to learn.
i guess this is something tt make me feel
glad about my contribution to these kids.
interestingly, they are either malay or indian.
no chinese families in this children program.

i wonder will i continue my volunteering service
next time bcos e journey home is so looooong.
see how God guides my heart.

i wanna choose to trust Him and see Him guide me.
got to be serious in doing some reading
for my course already, if not i will feel guilty again!
i dun like that feeling, i better start reading tmr.

Lord grant me a willing heart
to be self-discipline.
The Holy Spirit helps me to bear the fruit
of self control so tt i can bring good to pple ard me.

Self control is saying "no" to what i want/ desire
and "yes" to thing that is right!

Lord, help me:
not to act impulsively;
to set limit;
not to equate desire with rights;
see anger as a sign of something is wrong;
walk away from things that aren't right.
Amen.

The wonderful young people in hcmc

To: emily, tiffany, minnie, sixuan, jenny, jamie and alicia

I really love these young people,
emily, tiffany, minnie, sixuan, jenny, jamie and alicia.
They are so unique, so youthful, so kind,
so significant, so affectionate towards others.

They are always in my prayers.
This is true, and this is a commitment
between me and God.
Yeapp Lord i wanna keep them in
my prayers.
May i ask that YOU keep and guide them
everyday so that they will experience
your LOVE and GRACE and STRENGTH.
They can be a testimony for you LORD!
Their faith in YOU can be strengthened.

To j3nNy

to jenny:
I admire your enthusiasm and the passion for young people.
I thank God for you, Jenny, u r the precious child of God.
So are those people around you.

God views us as his precious, important, valuable,
and unique child that He has sent his beloved Son
Jesus to die for us, to forgive all our sins,
and whoever believes and trusts in Him
will have NEW LIFE.

I believe you will experience God's loveand strength
more each day as you journey into 2006.
And you will be a loving disciple of Christ.
And your life will make an impact to others.

Your reflection is always filled with inspirations.
Keep it up and it'll be a blessing for those who read your blog.
(But remember, not to pressurize yourself,
you need to manage your time well,
cannot neglect your studies, family relationship
and your witness in school for your schoolmates and
teachers okay) ^ grin ^

For the mentoring thingy, I have a suggestion for you.
Pray to God again.
I guess you mentor Minnie, sixuan, and Jamie.
Also help sixuan or Minnie to see the importance
of mentoring. Hopefully after some times,
one of them is willing to mentor Alicia.

You may ask how about Grace? I will not forget her.
Let's continue to pray for this mentoring thingy.

I say this because I do not want to overload anyone
Who has the passion for God's people
and the commitment in fulfilling Jesus' great commission
which spells out in Matthew 28:18-20 (GO and MAKE DISCIPLE).

The strategy is that we want to work as a team and invite
More young people to participate in fulfilling
the mission together. This is one of the ways
to help more young people to experience the love and
power of God as they grow in faith and in service for
The Lord in their spiritual lives.

Let's be encouraged by God's word in 1 Tim 4:12,
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are
Young, but set an example for the believers in speech,
in life, In love, in faith and in purity." Amen!!!

JESUS LOVES YOU and BE WITH YOU.

Happy Birthday !!!

Birthday Wishes from my husband
Happy Birthday to you!

May our Lord bless you with many joy.
May He give you peace each day.
May He lift your spirit in your serve.
May He help you grow into His likeness.
May He love you more and
fill your soul with satisfaction.

I love you too ! : )
