The Whole of Singapore Mourns

Yesterday, my mum and I were at the tribute centre at Tanjong Katong Primary School. We were overwhelmed by the out pour of love and support for the school. The loss of the lives of the teachers and children saddened our hearts. Mr Ho, the father of Rachel Ho, one of the students who died when interviewed by Mediacorp said that he sensed the whole country was behind them.  Mr Ho, the father of Rachel Ho, one of the students who died when interviewed by Mediacorp said that he sensed the whole country was behind them. Having seen the magnitude of the warmth and love of the people, one can only say that indeed the whole of Singapore mourns for the loss of these precious lives. May their families and friends find strength and hope to live for another day.

Touched by a Little Child

Last week from 2 - 4 June, I was conducting an Oratorical Skills workshop in a primary school in Punggol. There were three full days of training from 9.00am-4.30pm. I was training a rambunctious and enthusiastic primary three students.  They were the Prefects in school. These kids were real good kids.  I had so much fun in my training sessions with them.

On the last day, a child passed me a package.  I thanked her for her gift.  Later when I reached home, I read the "home made card" and gifts.  She has put in effort to make paper stars and put them in a lovely net.  

I started training in mid 2006.  On many occasions, God has touched me through the actions and words of the students I met.

Come in Your power
Come in Your strength
Do a deep and a lasting work
In our heart and spirit
Till we see You 
In all Your glory
Beauty
Wonder
And majesty

Our 16th Wedding Anniversary

Monte penned this on Facebook on 20 March 2015.

"My beloved Wife
From God above
Whom before His presence 
I know in Holy Matrimony,
Now begins the glory of our 16th year together.

For a brief time in Sacred History,
We today be separate in time and space;
Yet just a few days more.

Let us again hallow this sacred day 
And thank His Majesty who joins us as one.

What is good, true and beautiful—
Before God
You remind me daily, and I am thankful.

I have flowers in the spring
I have you to wear my ring
And in my palm you have my hand 
You have me and I have you
I in you and you in me
My Lady Fair
I love you.

Happy Anniversary.
20 March, 2015"


Monte and I are celebrating our 16th anniversary today. He is overseas and will be back in Singapore tomorrow.

Our hearts are overwhelmed by the goodness and grace of the Lord. God in His love and mercy led us 
to this day. We experience His hand of grace, endless mercy, unlimited strength, boundless hope and 
unspeakable joy as a couple. He shows us that there is nothing He cannot do.

Monte is a loving and wonderful husband. His life is completely sold out to the Lord and He 
continues to pursue God relentlessly. He loves the Lord with all of his heart, soul and mind.
We are deeply indebted to our family and friends who have journeyed with us all these years. 

We are not alone in this whole wide world, God puts people in our lives to enrich and grow us.

We cherish every moment that God has given us. We posture our hearts towards the Lord. We want 
nothing less than all that God has in-stored for us. Our hearts bow in humble adoration to our 
faithful God who never fails us. We experience the height, depth, length and width of God's great 
love.

Lord, Love the World Through Us

Lord, love the world through us
The broken
The helpless
The hopeless
The crushed
The voiceless
Touch the infirmed
The weak
The powerless
The forsaken
The despised
The unwanted
The outcast
Through each willing vessel
Each broken life
Touch the people You love 
Through us this day

All we want is You
For You alone 
Satisfy our deepest longing

His Divine Providence


Our new refrigerator
We moved into our flat in Seng Kang in August 2001.  I vividly remember how our friend, KC, contacted me to say that her sister had bought a new refrigerator and asked if we would like to take over her existing one. We were more than happy to do so. The refrigerator served us all these years. God is so good.

Recently, our refrigerator finally broke down.  For a season of time, we roughed it out and managed without a refrigerator.  Six days ago, God miraculously provided some funds for us to purchase a new one.  This is not coincidental; Monte and I believe that God has provided for us.  Our hearts are amazed at His goodness, providence and love.  We are grateful for God’s timely provision.  He watches over us.  He met our need for a household appliance in His special way and special timing.  He is more than enough.  Our sufficiency is in Christ and Christ alone.  All glory goes to our almighty, supreme, sovereign and awesome God.

When He Calls, He Provides

Last September , we were beside ourselves when we received word that Monte's paper proposal has been accepted by the Society of Pentecostal Studies (SPS) under the Ecumenical Interest Group.  He titled it, “Translating Pentecost into Salvation Praxes: The Soteriological Praxis of Gift Sharing through Encounters with Otherness.”  This year the conference is held in Lakeland, Florida from 12-14 March 2015.

We felt that God has opened this door.  We laboured in prayer, calling out to the Lord for divine providence.  In the natural, it is insurmountable and overwhelming.  But we believe and know deep within our hearts that God will perform a miracle for us and He did.  Yesterday, Monte purchased the air tickets.

Our God is an awesome God.  He deserves all the glory and the praise.  When God calls, He provides.  He reminds us daily that He is all sufficient, He is more than enough.

God in His goodness saw Monte through the past three consecutive SPS meetings in the States and this being the fourth.  Our hearts overflow with gratitude for the people who have contributed financially, others have prayed with us and encouraged us.  We are thankful for every family member and friend who has stood by us all these years.  We are deeply indebted to you.  Thank you for your involvement in our life and ministry.

This day, we are reminded of the smallness of our strength. We know our vulnerabilities.  God is the strength of our hearts.  We posture our hearts towards the Lord and experience His wonder, grace and goodness moment by moment.  God blesses us with a new day of hope, a new day of boundless possibilities and opportunities.  He is ever faithful. When we look to our Redeemer, He continues to pour His grace on us.  He shows us the wonder of His love, the Strength of His Spirit and the greatness of His power.

Happy Birthday, Monte

Monte, my beloved husband

Lover
Soul mate
Life partner
Companion
Inspiration
Best friend
Confidante
Prayer partner
Mentor
Leader
Model
Supporter
Helper
Comforter
Encourager

I thank God for each new day that God gives. One of the best decisions I have made in life is to marry Monte on 20 March 1999. Monte has given me the best he can offer, often sacrificing his own needs to see me happy and fulfilled. I have told my mum that Monte is a great husband and deep in my heart, I know that my mum is so happy for me.

Monte and I continue to submit our total being into the hand of God and allow Him to take full control. Someone once said that the best place one can be found is none other than the will of God. As the Lord takes us on this amazing journey, our hearts well up with gratitude to His goodness and grace.

Happy birthday, Monte! I love you.

Our Helper in Times of Need

On 9 June, 2012, I penned the following post which read: "We moved into our existing flat in Seng kang in August 2001. My friend contacted me to say that her sister had bought a new refrigerator and asked if we would like to take over the existing one. We were more than happy to do so. The refrigerator is still in good working condition up to today. It has not broken down once all these years. We are grateful for the Lord’s providence. We are also thankful to my friend and her sister.
As God’s children, we experience the hand of God in everyday living. He meets our needs. He protects us from seen and unseen dangers. He reaches the inner recesses of our hearts and makes us whole and strong. He nurtures, develops and empowers us. He gives us undying hope, faith, unspeakable joy and peace that passes understanding. In Him we live and move and have our being. We cannot live without the Lord and as we abandon ourselves to His loving embrace, our hearts leap with vibrant joy. We are thankful to be alive to taste His goodness and His grace."
One day in recent months, our refrigerator broke down. The freezer was fine, the middle area worked at 10-20% capacity. The lower section was totally not working. We continued to pray for the Lord to provide for this need. Four days ago, I was so shocked to discover that our whole refrigerator is back to proper working condition. Monte and I thanked the Lord for this amazing miracle. He meets our every need. He reminds us daily that He is more than enough for every need in our life. He teaches us to trust Him. Thank you, Lord!
