Pastor Michael was our guest speaker today and he shared his exciting testimony about how he had prostate cancer and God blessed him through the whole roller coaster journey. In short, during the whole period of treatment, God provided him with financial help for surgery, radiology, etc, used him to bring a lady to Christ, minister to a doctor and touch an oncologist. It's just so amazing how God worked in his life and i really wish to experience more of God so intimately.

And he also mentioned abt how it is brave to admit that one is struggling. How true indeed, for sometimes we put up brave fronts or simply hide our troubles behind a strong facade.

When i was joggin this morning, the lyrics ' He gives and takes away, and i will choose to say, Lord blessed be Your name' came into my mind and i had insight into the lines that i used to sing without deep understanding. God took many things away from Job and similarly in our lives right now, He takes things away, but only for our good and to draw us nearer to Him. I still rmb saying to God some time back 'Ouch, what a painful experience..can i have my teeth back..' lol, jokes. I am no where near a modern day Job, but will learn to be one :)

Went for my medical appointment yesterday and the wrist is healing vv well :D Praise God! Did some heat therapy for the hand since my wrist is still stiff and not strong. :/ Anws tue was fabulous, fantastic, great, prima, sehr gut. Skipped cell bio lect which is webcasted to jog and shop. It was the first time i got to tan my jaundiced hand for maybe an hour and also the first time i shopped for so long ever since the hols. hehs. :)

The first week of sch was relatively ok, am rather intimidated by many modules but nothing is too difficult with God isnt it :) My right hand looks dead due to the lack of sunlight and flexibility in the wrist...and i am itching to go for a jog/swim after such a long period of atrophy. :(

Fri was great! Had cell outing @harbourfront. We ate at spizza but werent full so we headed to the hawker for more substantial food. lol $12 for pizza appetizer and $3 for proper dinner.

Shared my testimony in church on sat and gosh i was kinda scared on stage!!. But mum and beth were very reassuring,which it helped alot:) I knew it was about God,but yet i couldn help but to be a lil affected by some stuff.. it really helps when pple reaffirmed me with even a simple' i am proud of you'. Just hope my story blessed some pple @church:)

Went for Street E wth beth gim and joy today. Paired up with Joy and learnt alot from her .. we prayed for 6 ppl in total and got to speak a few filipinos and this usa couple who are churchless and whom we invited to coos. cool! :) Shopped with sis for her bday present after that. We didnt dare to cross the road to bugis street cuz many many pple thronged the shopping street. I wouldn want to break my wrist again so we retreated.. lol and ironically, we headed to Orchard where i came from earlier in the day.

give thanks.

I can finally...
grip my pen and write (abit illegibly)
clench my fist
hold my wallet
with my right hand :)

and i will soon be able to...
use the nailclipper, scissors
lift my bag
write a 99999 word essay


:):)

last wk of hols

The last week of hols can be considered a milestone in my walk with God. He picked me up when my spirits were crushed. He healed (and is still healing, amen!)my fractured hand, bruised face and teeth. (they have yet to die, and they wont!) Even now i am still awed at how rapidly i have recovered, esp now that my right hand has the strength to hold a pen alr:) PRAiSE GOD!!The week was spent mostly at home, with the exception of sgh, ndc, church, j8 and marcus's house. Enjoyed the times of fellowship when friends came over and also the times alone with God, when i could really feel how real His word is.

i cant wait to see the ortho tmr cuz i know i have been healed and i will not need a cast. And perhaps the ortho will give me a look of disbelief at how fast my fractured bones recovered... then i will proudly say, we have a mighty healer called jesus! LOL this is exciting!

i have a mighty God!:)

CHRIS TOMLIN - How Can I Keep From Singing lyrics

There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne

every word is a promise of Your love, and my will to follow You.

i will praise u.
for You are God
for You love us to the extent of sending Jesus to die for us.
for at least i am still alive and the car didnt knock me down.
for You ve kept us safe.
for i have so many other blessings to count.
for i am still Your lady of substance.

newyear2008:)

Hebrews 12: 1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Felt prompted to start the year with this verse, to remind myself to hold on tightly to the rock i cling, as mentioned in the song, never to give up following God closely.

Anws, today was great! Met jie to shop!! :) Got to find out more abt how she's doing in her phase of life as a married lady, her work, children ministry, domestic probs. lol. And when i complained to her abt how irritating the nuh doctor can get, i was so happy she defended me! At least she believes in me man. YAY :p

okays goals for 2008:

Spend time regularly with God.
Learn to hear from Him and fully depend on Him in all things i do.
Praise God in all circumstances
Be more patient, loving and be a good testimony to Christ.
Be more organised, meticulous and NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
