A journey worth remembering...

I'm so happy the day when i saw Adeline together with all the special things she brought up... such a blessing for us here...

We had little time together as we were in separate painting teams and she was in the villages for 2 different weeks. Only the last week she was in the capital.

Though through the short time with her... nice to recall and joke about how we started exploring into missions in the past.... and now all of us are in different areas but still serving the same Father.

Looking back....

I knew ade when i first came into children's ministry in 1999. She was like a big jie jie to me at that time... we went on trips to chiangmai... we then serve together in the missions committee... we too went for night classes at Ywam and even some mission conferences...

Though we have all gone to different areas that Father has placed us in... its beautiful to look back at the path He has allow us to cross paths and again cross paths here...

We had a great time together with the other team mates...

I'm protected bcos I'm the Apple of His Eye...

Zech. 2:8 For this is what the LORD Almighty says: "After he has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye

I was so drawn to this verse and led me to share this in the women fellowship together with the text in

Matthew 7:9-11

⁹"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Being a woman, we seem to have this ability call "Worry". We cannot stop worrying. Being a woman here is not easy. Woman can't stop thinking about their children. They will be worrying about what are the children doing? Are they being naughty? Are the teachers treating my child well? Is the househelper looking after the child???

Thousands of thousands of questions and worries ponder in the minds of women.

Moms here can't stay with their children 24hrs but Our Father can! Being adults, we will not be folding our arms and see the children walk into danger... so what more our Father who not only give good gifts but also protector of the apples of His eye.

As i share, I saw one of them started tearing...

I went on to say if we would change our worries to thanks giving wouldn't that acknowledge our Father who will be faithful and the protector of His children? Worrying would actually reflect on our doubts such as " I know better than my Father.... I know how to protect the children better than Father... I know what's best for the children than Father...."

I regret for not stepping in to minister to this sister instead, i handled the time over to the chair person of this fellowship.... something that needed to be taught how to be sensitive to the H.S and flow with Him......

I'm the Apple of His Eye... how about you?

Purpose of The Word

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (New International Version)

¹⁶All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Proverbs 4:20-23

²⁰ My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.

²¹ Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;

²² for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man's whole body.

²³ Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.

As I read 2tim3:16-17, the word thoroughly caught my eye and i went into the meaning in Hebrew & greek....

3190 yatab - to be, make well

7495 rapha, to cure

I got so so excited and then when i was doing my devotion using proverbs, Prov4 speaks about the Word and shines the purpose of the Word.... they LIFE and Health.... WELLSPRING of Life.

I know not all accepts this teaching.... i believe in both spiritual & physical healing... do not ask me why some are not healed and so on so forth... I do not like to engage into this... I usual encourage people to taste the goodness of His Word and be open to what He will be doing and showing us to change... Here i use the word showing bcos the Holy SPirit is a gentleman. He does not forces us to change rather He shows and encourage us but is all up to us to make that very decision. Do not first think of how you can change or what you should do... rather the heart must make that very decision to allow the Holy Spirit to change... He will take good care of the rest of the steps.... just get the heart issues right first...

I just came back from a camp - Youth camp (theme: Be Ready)

The youths are were pure, eager, willing... that's the beginning of their change in their spiritual walk with the Father. I believed that the Holy SPirit is at work in the hearts of the youths and especially those who took that step of faith to come forward to say "I'm willing to commit to the work of the Father"

Look its not easy.... Jesus too struggled and prayed only thy will be done not his...

though is not easy, but in His time, you will see results and see fruits.... just persevere on my brothers and sisters in Christ especially those serving the Lord full time... Let's keep the Faith.

3weeks back, we went to a village and held a Praise festival. The location we went was where the main hyro project is... you see streetlights for the first time in this country... but just as we planned to start the praise, the electricity went off for 2.5hrs. It never happened to the villagers there but only when we were there... obviously it was a sabotage.

Imagine here with me... if this were to happen in Spore... Complaints, people walk off... the entire event is a Failure.... BUT these audience, they were very very patient with us... we manage to find a generator after 2.5 hrs of waiting and nothing is stopping us to praise our Father and have His word preached.... due to time, we had to cut some songs... the other bands didnt agreed to it except for HRC. I'm so proud and humbled too to be serving with HRC as their sound crew... It was an enjoyable trip to be going into villagers to bring praise in the mist of the ppl there.... kind of reminds me of Rev Tony who once shared about his praise team moving from town to town....

I'm hopping to get some rest before going on full-gear again for the cafe.... will update more on the cafe soon...

i juz need a little rest for now....
