Great is the Lord

The light of Your glory

The power of Your love

The strength of Your Spirit

The certainty of Your hope

You are the reason our heart beats

You are our life

You are our everything 

In You, we are complete 

In You, we find hope and meaning

To live in and through You

Amazing God

God is with us in every season of our lives. He leads us to the highest mountain and the deepest valley. We savour times of abundance and trust Him in times of lack. He is with us in the raging fire. He is with us in the deep blue sea.

God is actively at work in our darkest hour. The Lord does the deepest work in us when abandon ourselves to Him unreservedly.

Through these challenging times and seasons, we emerge stronger. The fire of God burns bright and strong in our hearts.

I call to mind the goodness of God. I remember vividly how the Lord provided miraculously for our wedding in March 1999. Monte and I waited upon the Lord. He provided miraculously for us. His divine providence left us in great amazement and wonder. We can never out give Him. We know that there is nothing our God cannot do.

Our finite human minds can never fathom the things of God entirely. In His love and mercy, He reveals Himself to us. He pours His abundant grace on all who wait on Him. Those who love Him without reservation have no regrets. Our God is faithful.

At the core of our being, we are fulfilled as we live in His plans and purposes. We avail ourselves completely to our Master. All those who seek Him will find Him.

Sugar Rush

For many years, I was always ordering Teh C (tea with evaporated milk and sugar) at the coffee shop. In recent years, I switched to Teh C Siew Dai (tea with evaporated milk and little sugar).  Then I went to to Teh O Siew Dai (black tea with little sugar).  Now, I have graduated to Teh O Kosong (black tea with no sugar).

I feel fantastic after reducing my sugar intake.  On other fronts, I try as much as possible to choose to have low salt, low fat and low sugar diet. 

For as long as I can remember, my routine medical check up will usually involved the doctor's offer to prescribe drugs for my raised cholesterol.  I will dutifully suggest to the doctor that I do not want to go on any medication.  I will exercise and watch my diet.

Three days ago, on my routine medical appointment, the doctor mentioned that my cholesterol is very good.  I am thankful to the Lord and happy to receive the good report.

God has blessed Monte and I beyond what we could even imagine. We have been through thick and thin. We have tasted the height, the depth and the width of the Lord's incredible love all these years. God is not a figment of our imagination, He is actively at work in us as we posture our hearts to seek Him. We live to savour His unending mercy and grace each day.

God has blessed me with Monte. I appreciate his loving support and constant encouragement. He lovingly sacrificed and always has my well being at heart. I am grateful for a wonderful and loving husband. I pray that God will pour His bountiful blessings on Him and He will make His shine on him. Happy birthday, Monte! I love you!

Enjoying Training

On the 3 January, I received these photos from my friend, S. She saw my photos in her daughter's school year book.  It was such a pleasant surprise.  

Between February and March last year, I had the privilege to train a few Primary 5 children for an inter-school debating competition.  These kids were from a school in the east.  They were very enthusiastic and polite.  I had wonderful time with them.

Vocal Training at Lifeline Family Church

Vocal Training at Lifeline Family Church

On 15 Nov 2015, I was honoured and thankful to conduct a vocal training workshop at Lifeline Family Church.  I went through some singing techniques with the participants.  The enthusiastic people were so encouraging.  I enjoyed my time with them tremendously.

I thank God that Monte was with me.  All these years, he has supported me in my life and ministry.  He encourages me to allow God to grow and develop me daily.

 

Prayer Answering God

Monte and I will be away most of the month of March. Monte will be presenting a paper ("Before His Face through Times of Refreshing") at the Society of Pentecostal Studies conference and chairing one of the ecumenical interest group meetings.

In early August, we were so glad to receive word that Monte's paper was accepted. As Pasedena is not too far from Fresno, California, we were looking into the possibility to visit our family there. This will be my maiden trip to the States.

We did not know how the Lord was going to work things out for us but we knew that the Lord is more than able to provide for our need. We prayed for God to perform a miracle.

Our God is truly a prayer answering God. He provided the funds for us to purchase our air tickets on 22 January. We stand in awe of the Lord's goodness and grace. His hand is never too short. He is ever faithful and true.

The Lord has opened the door through this platform for Monte to contribute in some small ways. We are grateful for His enablement and empowerment.

We are deeply indebted to our family and friends who are praying for us. Some have blessed us through giving (financially). Others have encouraged us along the way. We thank each of you for standing with us.

God is worthy of all our praises. As we enthroned Him, He pours His Spirit on us. He empowers us to do what we are incapable to do in our own strength. This is all for the glory and honour of His name.

We Need You, Lord

You brought us to the highest mountain

And the the deepest valley

The greatest height

And the deepest depth

We tasted endless hope

And bleakest darkness

We feel the deepest sorrow

And unspeakable joy

We feel excruciating pain

We taste the joy of Your release

We enjoy plentiful abundance

We have times of lack

We know Your deafening silence

We hear Your words of hope

For You are endless

Boundless

Matchless

Beyond comparison

You are all that we need

Nothing in this world

Can satisfy our deepest longing

We need You

We need Your hand of Love

We need Your endless mercy

We need Your sustaining grace

Lead us by Your Spirit

Purify us by Your fire

Till we are found in You

Till Your purposes 

Are fulfilled in us
