Yes...the brother, left for UK this morning.. :(
We spent a little Ladies Night together last night after the dinner at Long Beach with the extended family...
So, this note was left on my room door...
So, of course, he did the necessary before he cold enter....
And my other sister was there...waiting for him :) hehehe
Yes, my 2 new found sisters...
Now, all the 5 ladies, SMILE!
Ermm..is this considered unappropriate content? >_<
Yeah...but this was not the best part yet.... the best part of it all was this... we played a slideshow that we made for him, and gathered around to sing the song "In Christ Alone" ... thereafter, we started praying together ...and our brother praying over each and everyone of us... yes, its true , Christ alone keeps us together even when we are all physically apart... Christ will protect us.... None of us left the room with a dry eye... all of us were touched and in our hearts, we know, we are very blessed to be in this family....
Surely...it felt great that all 5 of us were worshipping the Lord and praying together. When 2 or more are gathered together, there HE is with Us....
Of couse, my brother continued to shower alot of blessings upon us above all that he has already given us in his short 2 weeks trip here... he gave us some cash to buy something we like, and now I cannot make up my mind! Should I re-perm or rebond my hair? or should i save it? Or should I buy a PSP? Or a bicycle? Oh no... what a hard decision...
Service in itself was good foe me too... Saturday night...i was tossing and turning in bed cause there were alot of things in my mind..comments that were made, thoughts of the future, the past, ...etc etc... I woke up at least once every 2 hours... i was just troubled in my heart...
After worship... Ps Eugene did not say anything much except this...
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, Trust in me also" John 14:1
It was as if God was speaking right into my heart, Do not be troubled, I am with you, Trust in me...
Sometimes, God comes in time, just to rescue me. Really, what is there to fear then?
After worship in my room on Sunday night, the etmosphere of love and peace filled it..and I slept throughout, knowing that the Almighty God is watching over me.
Something that my brother shared with us that he learnt from his service, this is food for thought :
A man went to the doctor one day and told the doctor and the conversation was as such :
Man : Doctor, I think there is something wrong with my wife's ears, She cannot hear me very well. I have to repeat myself about 5 to 6 times before she finally answers me. Is there anything I can do to help her?
Doctor : I won't be able to diagnosed the problem like that.Why don't you go home and try this? Stand 15 feet away and ask your wife a question and see whether she responds to you. If not, stand 10 feet away. If not, standf 5 feet away until she responds to you.
So, the man went home and did what the doctor said..
Man (15 feet away) : Honey, what are you cooking for dinner tonight?
Wife : *no response*
Man (10 feet away): Honey, what are you cooking for dinner tonight?
Wife : * no response*
Man (5 feet away) : HONEY, what are you cooking for dinner tonight?
Wife (SHOUTS) : MY DEAR, FOR THE 3rd time I am saying, I am cooking CHICKEN RICE TONIGHT, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Moral of the story - sometimes, we pray so many times to God thinking that God does not hear us and is not responding to us. In actual fact, do we take time to listen to him? Talking is a conversation between 2, it takes one to speak and one to hear and the other way round.... Have you been listening to him?
Do not let your hearts be troubled.
The emails exchange made the morning past really quickly!!
Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The interactions I had with Chiwern's family this time round has been deeper than ever...It has also helped me to understand Chiwern even better, and has taught me to appreciate the goodness in him as well.. :)
I've always told Chiwern that he is so blessed to be born in a Christian family. I've been equally blessed to be his girlfriend and experience the warmth of the Lord through this family. At the end of each day, his parents would initiate a sharing session and we would all sit around and share a bit about ourselves. It was great fun! There were tears, and laughter. I even got to know more about his parent's dating experiences! *Too personal to be revealed here* ... But, I'm so glad that I was included in part of this family. i'm so glad to be prayed over every night...
I see how this Christian family operate and I pray that this will continue to flow from his parent's generation to our own family. I see how they interact with each other. I see how every child is protected by the Lord. I hear of stories of how auntie prays for everyone of them every night. i hear good news of God's provision for the family at the right time... and in my heart ... my prayer is that our family will be modelled after this...That the Lord God will always be head and leader of the household. Just Like Chiwern's.
In this trip, Mei Yih (Chiwern's sister) talked to me more and I'm able to connect with her on a deeper level. Not so awkward. :) I like. Mei Yih and I shared the hotel room and we watched TV to sleep! :) I'm so gonna miss her and the chat till we fall asleep! :) I told her that she's become such a lady already... Packs up, washes up without being instructed.. Like a perfect Proverbs 31 woman.. I really admire her.. She's very mature for her age..
DAY 1
Pic 1 - SO EXCITED! Arrived in Malaysia and took a picture in the bust as we usually would!
Pic 2 - Took a cab! But the hassle was such an experience! The bus dropped us off at Pudu Raya but the cabs over there wanted to charge us about $30 for us to cab to Chiwern's Godma's place! We walked on (While shopping!) and found a cab who would charge us by the meter! So cheap! it was $10 equivalent to singapore's $5!
Day 2
READY FOR SOME FUN!
PALACE OF THE GOLDEN HORSES!
He Cannot Contain His Excitement Upon Reaching the Hotel!
This is what i call the trolley of love....
When we went to the supermarket to shop...Chiwern started plucking of things the shelves that I like to eat, drink and use.... In my heart, I felt touched and loved... Like how he remembers the things I use...and the things I like to eat n drink :)
Our Silly Pictures! :)
Our Silly Games! :)
This is the whiteboard of Love... :)
In the midst of all the important's numbers on the board... I see my name there...
Auntie booked the Aeroline first class bus for us! Sooooo Blessed! The seats are comfortable, the tv was right in front of us..breakfast, tea break and muffins were served! There's even a comfy lounge downstairs! *GASP*
Thank you so much for everything. Thank you God...For everything that you have blessed me with.
*So many more photos!!! but no time!!**
I almost forgot how we first met.... until yesterday
I almost forgot the times at Campus Walk ....
I almost forgot the 1st Oceania Convention...
Until I look at these pictures...
And know...its a memory i hold close to my heart...
There are many things in life..you wished never happened..but yet you know...you have to go through them to grow... God remains soverign in all things.
On another note, Trina is really a hot favourite amongst those Indonesians...Yeah? Don't u reckon, nana? ;p
“Seek peace, and pursue it. (Proverbs 34:14)”
March 18 not only marks the end of the weekend.
It marked the end of the G12 conference as well.
I seriosly feel it... Its been a wonderful conference, one that has been challenging, inspiring, and made me want to run this G12 vision together with the church, against all odds. I admire my pastors and thank them for all that they have gone through for the church in their lives and even in their families. Lord, thank you for my pastors. I've a cleare picture of where my church is heading now, and I am no lost sheep, I am one inspired sheep, One who is willing to go forth to Build Families! There is just so much that I've learnt from God. And, I thank God that this week is a time for me to slow down, and evaluate and start anew! A New Beginning! Is gooD! :)
But most of all, I love my God. I love how he can care for the whole wide world and is still so concern about me.
Before the G12 conference, I went to Sentosa with the cell group! Man, A jolly good time and a really sunny day! I must remember this day cause this is the first time I am on an outing with them, and 8 years down the road, when they have become grown woman and man of God, we will reflect and taste of God's goodness in their lives together... :)
I'd thank God for the divine opportunity and timing for our lives to meet. You've brought so much joy and meaning to my life. :) Its been a joy serving each of you, and I would give all I can to see each of you grow to become strong woman of God. Your lives will be an inspiration, You will grow up with a holy passion, knowing that God will ALWAYS be by your side. You will become mothers of many, inspiration and an encouragement. I will always belive in you. Not one of you will be snatched from enemy's hands! In Jesus Name! Amen!
May You have Faith Enough for You to Walk Through waters of Storms!
May you be planted in a good soil so deep that fruits will be more and more evident in your lives as you grow...
May You always find encouragement, jou and fun from the family of God to tide you through this journey of life. :)
When I heard Shauna speak on the popit today, all the more I felt like God can use you. That there is so much potential and so much to grow in each and everyone of you. and the time to grow is now.
I pray that you will not let anyone look down on you because you are young but in all areas of your life, you will be so exemplery that it cause your light to shine so brightly. I believe in you. God believes in you.
Thank You Lord. for life's little blessings :)
