Trials * Perseverance * Faith
Whilst having my late dinner close to eleven after reaching home from work, my mother tells me that one of my father's bus driver called to say he will be quitting at the end of year 2007 today. (Btw, for those who doesn't know, my father runs a bus company.)
My father went through a heart op and is unfit for driving within half a year. He used to drive one of the 5 buses he owns to cut costs but have to ask one of my uncles to drive it since his operation. Now, a driver says he wants to quit at the end of this year which is like, "Hey boss, you have to find someone else in less than 2 weeks!" (*_*)
I do not know how to manage all these in my own strength... 2007 has truely been a difficult year for me... Lots of ups and downs... I think I can manage, but it will definitely be so so so much more difficult without God. I am so so so so so glad that God called me back! (^_^) I can do all things through Him who gives me strength! (Phil 4:13)
I prayed to Abba Father for Him to provide either someone who can replace the driver for my father's business to continue on or for someone who will offer a good price to take over my father's business and put the business, which is long on-the-rocks, to end.
Then I asked the Lord why I see nothing but darkness in front of my once again and a vision appeared. A hand. A hand that I can grasp onto tightly. And even if darkness is ahead of me, I can grasp onto THE hand and it will lead me on. I MUST have the faith to hold on to it for it will lead me on a right path, He will lead me to light! Hallelujah! Another vision: James... James chapter 1. I flipped the Bible to James chapter one and to my amazement (seems like I will never get accustomed to God's surprises), there it says, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." (James 1:2-4)
I see....
Hahaha! The Lord shall provide!
Something outta the topic: My blog title picture shrunk, has it? I can't seemed to make it back to the original size no matter how I tried. Hmm.... (~_<)

What Is The Cost? ... Priceless
What is the cost of Friendship?
......
Priceless.
What is the cost of Love?
......
Priceless.
What is the cost of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins?
Priceless.
He did that because of love.
I saw two good friends quarrel tonight. And neither is willing to be the first to talk or do anything about it after which. Is it so difficult to let go of your ego? Where is the love? Does it mean you are weak just to be the first to talk, sit beside the other party, perform a little gesture of concern?
If you had experienced Jesus's love and fix your eyes upon Him, bow to him and every weaknesses will be made strong in Christ. Hallelujeh! We are living testimonies for Christ, the love He has for us should naturally flow out from us.
Some things just could not wait. What if one of the party meet with an accident tonight? This will become a lifelong regret, won't it? Anything can happen, we do not know the future, just like how my father collapse and dianogsised with heart attack... Why do something that may let you regret for life? It reminds me of Ephesians 4:26-27, "In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold." Abba Father has a reason for letting us know this. He do not want us to regret, to suffer in pain. He wants us to be filled with joy everyday and live a prosperous life in Him. That is why He says in Matthew for us to reconcile our relationship with someone who has hurt/offended us, before we bring him an offering.
Then I thank God for the priceless friendships I have, Jasmine, Lyn, Serene, Yimin, Shuyi, Jane, HL, Lyelin, Liting.... And I thank God for my relationship with Him! PRICELESS!
P.S. I thank God and praise Him! My brother went to church early today by himself. He did not tell me but I got to know it when Serene sms me. He is willing to seek the Lord! Hallelujah! \(^_^)/ Thank you Jesus for showing me your love and teaching me to love. Lalala!
Going to bed now, have to bring my father to the polyclinic for wound dressing then to the hospital to follow up. Just so much thoughts tonight that I have to blog about. Tonight is also the 25 Star Awards, seeing the TV pioneers all old and shrivelled unlike the past lets me reflect on how frial man are. Only through God we will be victorious and free and alive! Many other thoughts but I really have to go to bed... Zzzzz

Be blessed!
http://www.fcbc.org.sg/linktracker.asp?name=dec02_e_768K_wmv&id=1151
The above link will take you to a sharing by motivational speaker Nick Vujicic last Sunday. He was borned without any limbs, no arms, no legs. His father is a pastor and his mother was a nurse. Nobody knows why he was born like this, medical science could not explain it. He and his family went through pain and emotional torment, see how he came to know God's love and grace for him and see God's power!

Let go! And let God...
Amazing!!!!
I just prayed for my brother, laying hands on him and by the power of the holy spirit, he teared. I do not know how he felt because his friend came right after the prayer so we stopped our conversation.
My brother and I had not been talking since... so long I can't even remember when. Even when my father went through the surgery, I only spoke to him when needed. My heart was hardened. Then there was one day when church service talked about forgiveness, it struck me that I should forgive my brother for the hurts he caused. Yes, he actually caused me hurt without me even identifying. (That's the reason why I do not want to talk to him.)
Why can God forgive us and sent Jesus to love us and even die for us but I cannot forgive my brother for the hurts he caused? What grounds have I got? What rights have I got? Nothing! Absolutely nothing. Ever since that sermon at least half a month ago, the holy spirit has been prompting me to talk to my brother and pray for him. So I did, ask some seemed-to-be-concerned question and sort of 'talk' to him. Pray for him on my own but not aloud for him in front of him. And yes, I remembered when I prayed aloud for my mother a month ago, I swore that I would pray aloud for my brother one day. And yes again, I had a vision when my father was in the hospital that I would pray for my family aloud one day. BUT I have been putting it off. I was afraid, scared that I'm not strong enough to pray for them in front of them. I prayed and have been praying for them on my own, isn't that sufficient? Obviously not!
So I put it off. I prayed though, for God to arm me with courage and strength so that then, I can pray for them aloud. But as I was worshipping the Lord just now, he showed me:
1) Pray, and help will be on its way!
2) God is a potter, allow him to take me and mould me, use me and fill me!
3) God breathes in me and I will rise on eagle's wings!
I have to let go! I thought I did but I did not actually. I have to let go and let God! Allow God to work in me and mould me, use me. By His power, I will be victorious! Hallelujah! By His strength, will my weakness become strong! Hallelujah! He is my rock, I will not falter!
I knelt and bowed down to Him, admitting my foolishness and weakness. Therefore, after my worship, I went to talk to my brother. He was willing to talk and we were conversing! Feels weird but a conversation. Wow! After so many years. Then I prayed for him and amazingly, words that came out from my mouth was from the holy spirit, I was able to pray for him as what he needed, what God knows he needed. Hallelujah! And he teared. Holy Spirit has indeed touch his heart.
I will hope and pray that one day he will go to church. And through him may my mother's heart be soften for the Holy Spirit to work... my mother has a soft spot for my brother. Praise the Lord!
My dear friends, fix your eyes upon Jesus. Do not see what you can do but what God can do! \(^_^)/

色戒
情窦初开
Went to Tampines on Wenesday to hand in my father's claim form and met a rare gentleman. It's so hard to meet a gentleman nowadays but thank God he made me meet one to let me know my heart is still feeling towards man.
As I walk towards the lift from the basement carpark, a guy enters from the other side of the lift lobby and was walking towards the lift as well. He was nearer to the lift as compared to me but he actually stopped outside the lift and held the lift for me to enter first. WOW! (~^_^~)
He was wear a white long-sleeve shirt with sleeves folded just below the elbow and polished black long pants. Tall, lanky and tanned. As the lift opened when we reached the ground floor, he pressed the button for door open and allowed me to go out first. WOW! WOW! Such a gentleman. I am no beauty and not a girly girl, never did I expect someone would do that for me... Kekeke... Touched. BUT don't guess too much, nothing happened after we exited the lift and went separate ways.
Two days ago, I saw this mtv for Leehom's 第一个清晨. I knew this was a nice song but never did I know that its mtv was so sweet. Simple, but sweet.
Like the scenerio of composing a song for loved one and the other party can just listen quietly after waking up, then sit side by side to enjoy eah others presence. Simple, but sweet. (^_^) If one day that can happen to me... Then after that I thought: It would be even better if we can worship the Lord together in love every morning as we wake up... Simply sweet. Hehe.

1st Dec 2007
That nite, I went to a gathering wth my cell group. We had BBQ and after which proceeded upstairs to watch a documentary which TVB produced:《向世界出发 之 以色列的苦路》
This documentary touched my heart... How Jesus died for us... How he bore the cross (our sins)... How He cared for us even when he was filled with much pain... How He loves us! All these I know, but would never be able to understand fully, now refreshed. I wrote a song inspired by the Holy Spirit and would like to share with you and may I urge you to watch the documentary as well and experience the lavish love of the great God. (^_^)
主耶稣呀

若非有你
圣子降为世人
带来奇妙救恩
受愚昧的人侮辱
却仍背负十架行苦路
我从没做过什么
值得你如此为我
我算得了什么
你却日日眷顾我
救世主啊
无条件爱
伟大牺牲
为救世人
主耶稣呀
若非有你
洗净我罪
我要怎么活
我要每天都感恩
为你的爱 为十架
我永远都属你
若非有你 （耶稣）
我是谁
十架的重担
你可选择放
你却因为爱
行了神的道
Updates
Haven't been blogging, busy with my father's discharged life and busy preparing Christmas presents (^_<)
My father is discharged on 29th November and is recuperating at home now. The expenses for wound dressing is quite high if a nurse were to come to our house to do it, so I'm bringing my father to the polyclinic everyday and private clinic on Sunday to dress his wounds.
My mother was quite hostile to my father on the first two days of my father's discharge but better after that. Thank God! She is very stubborn on her thinking though, it seems that what I tell er has no power and she will not heed them. So well, I have to go through a longer way by getting people of medical backgrounds to advise her. (*_*) I have been praying for God to give me patience to deal with my mother everyday, pray for me as well brothers and sisters.
Christmas is approaching, the day of Jesus's birth. Hallelujah! As we recieve gifts and presents this festive, may we not forget the greatest gift we have--- Christ Jesus! Fill our hearts with thanksgiving and praise! And may the fervor and zeal for the Lord be everlasting! Merry merry CHRISTmas! \(^)_(^)/
