IF I WERE SUPERMAN

I want to watch this korean movie. Seems quite interesting and touching. Tmr is off-day. Maybe I shd go watch tmr.... alone..... Haiz........Hahaha
And this movie only show at certain location. Vivo, TiongBahru, Marina, YISHUN but not Tampines. Arhhh........ The nearest and most convenient one will be TiongBahru. But even then it is still so out of the way........
Let's see how. Motivation to watch vs Motivation to rest......

If I were superman, what would I want to do? Maybe if i am superman, I would just want to be a normal person. Irony of life. That's why we can never be superman. We are always the 'weak citizens' and Jesus is our Superman who is always there for us.

Waves of Life

I had returned back to Singapore on 14 Oct, Tuesday. The night before I returned, I was chatting with my sis and found out that parents were not well. Mum had a high fever a week back and had urinal infection which affected her abdominal areas. Dad had strained his whole right hand. Sis was pretty tied up at work and also at the same time had to take care of parents' needs. It was really hard on her.

After hearing all these, the question surfaced, "Have I heard the Lord clearly? If yes, then why are such things happening when I am away? It seems that I have 'abandoned' my duties and responsibilities to the family."

Doubting God? Nah! But yet a question that I need to persue for an answer. I came to the Lord. He assured me. The Lord never promises good times but He promises help and comfort in such times. Rev Jonathan preached about in difficult times (especially now for many who are hit by the financial crisis), are we able to still know who is in control, are we still able to smile at the storm knowing that Christ is in the vessel.

My parents are not young and subsceptible to illness (irregardless of whether I'm in Singapore or not). My only hope is to trust that the Lord will continue to grant them good health and even if health deterioriates, that He will be their Healer and Comforter. And on my part, I just need to put in effort to show my care and concern through more frequent call back home and SKYPE. (My parents are cool; they use SKYPE)

I thank God that my mum's condition is improving after medication. Her urine test had shown no infection. Her appetitie is also returning. Dad's hand is still troubling him, though he said that it has improved.

Lord, there's nothing too big or too small for You to not know or not able to handle. In difficult times, I pray that I will be able to smile at the storm, knowing that You are in the same boat as me. I pray that You will continue to preserve the health of my parents. And more importantly, I pray for the father's salvation, that he will stumble upon Your grace and love. And I pray that You too will continue to be the light to my sis, leading her back into Your grace and mercy. Amen!

Worldly Number Game

I overheard this comment, "The 'XYZ program' very little people attending. Only X number of people went." It was as good as hearing that they were skeptically snaring about the program. In fact, when I visited the program, it was well attended. I am not sure why people make such comment. Either they are poorly informed or they are just 'waiting' for something to happen. Well, many a times we do make such a passing comment innocently. But our mind should really be transformed. The numbers are important but do not let the numer becomes bigger than our head or our LORD. Cliche as it may be, this is so valuable that we shd be looking at the 1/2 filled glass. When we see such a situation, are we quick to give thks to the Lord for those who came? Do we pray for these people, that they may be encouraged to faithfully return for the activity? Do we pray that their lives will be transformed and challenged in this new program? Or are we just looking at the spaces and shaking our heads?

Mount Vwing SungHubBorei

I'm back! After 2 mths in Cambodia, I'm back in Singapore... for 1 mth. Time really flies. I thank God for His favour and His grace as I found new friendship, trust, experience....... This is honeymoon period. After this 'rest' in Singapore, X'mas outreaches in Cambodia for about a month. Woo hoo... This is going to be exciting. And I believe very much challenging and tiring. But by going through all these, I will and be able to understand how much the Khmer staff have put into this X'mas outreaches.

As for now, relax a bit, do planning for next year's activities and also to pay visits to those teams that will be coming up to Cambodia for x'mas outreaches. For those who want to arrange for personal meet-up with me, better book me early.... I'm hot..... ^.* ok................ I'm hearing pple slamming head against the keyboard.......

EZ

It's always so easy to be quick to advise people but yet so slow to apply to myself.

"Seek Ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the rest will be added onto you."

Majoring on Minor

Sometimes I see myself very centred and narrow minded. While I am busy worrying over my seemingly trivial issues, there are many more serious and painstaking things happening.
Xianjie, got to be more selfless, got to be more aware of the surroundings, got to show more concern about other things than yourself.

Lord! Help me to see others needs before my own. Help me to see the world with a more compasionate than one that only cares about myself. All my concerns, You are in control. Amen!
