3. It was uncommon that a cab stops at the expressway bus-stop for the passenger to alight. Low and behold, when i missed my bus and the next one was not going to come till 15mins later, God sent a cab to stop right in front of me! The passenger alighted at the bus-stop and the cab was vacant for me to hire, else i would have been terribly late for my piano lesson! 

4. I was prompted to text my friend to bring along a shawl for me as I thought it might be too cold in the church sanctuary. However, throughout the time in church, it was not cold, so I did not use the shawl that she brought for me. It was only during our journey back home together that I discovered my friend was considering not to attend church service that day. However, she felt compelled to go to church that day as she wanted to bring the shawl for me.  And, she also testified that it was God Who wanted her to be in church that morning. 

     It may seem something trivial but God has it in His plan, no matter how minute or insignificant the         thing/ issue might be to man. 

Missed declaring God's goodness, how could i ...

It has been hectic managing a full-time job and a part-time study. On the other hand, it has been one of the most fulfilling years of my life:

A series of testimonies, how could I not declare God's goodness and close watching over me:

1. 18 June 19
My friend and I were going to swim and when we arrived at the swimming pool, we were told there was lightning warning ongoing and no one was allowed into the pool. I was very disappointed but knew God could do anything and uttered, "Oh God, I want to swim!" and immediately, the lightning alarm went off indicating the lightning warning was over!!! My friend was bewildered and jaw dropped and I said, "Thank God!" And we went to change into our swim gear. After an hour of wonderful swim, as I was lifting myself up from the pool, the lightning alarm went off, indicating the lightning warning was back!!! The Lord just stopped the lightning so we could have a swim!!! Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! not enough hallelujahs could express my heartfelt gratitude to Him for responding to my unimportant desire; He was concerned about my desire to swim, what an intimate Abba Father!

2. 20 June 19
I realized I forgot to bring my sun block lotion to gym that morning, and I began asking God, "How?" I had a lunch appointment that day and it was critical to have sun block on my face. I thought of a few possibilities: drop home to grab it or postpone my lunch appointment and hide indoors in my office till evening. Both were not viable and I began asking God again, "How, God?" As I was still thinking about it, after my shower at the gym, I went to the dressing table next to my locker and someone came to join me at the dressing table. She laid out all her skincare products on the table and a tube caught my eyes - it was orangey in colour and looked pretty. Without realizing it, I found myself peeping at the tube when she was not looking and discovered it was sun-block lotion! I was surprised, firstly, it was the first time I met this lady and it was the first time someone spread her skincare/ makeup on the table! A prompting came: "ask her for some of her sun-clock lotion." I went, "huh?" I was shy to ask and shrugged the prompting away.

The prompting came back and this time I knew the prompting won't go away till I did it as I have encountered similar promptings before. I bucked up my courage to just do it: "May I use a little bit of your sun-block lotion, please?" She was dumbfounded and I said, "Today I forgot to bring mine." She nodded her head.
WOW!!! Abba Father, you are simply AMAZING at providing!!!

Two more overdue testimonies coming up, watch for it!

Love YOU, Abba

Abba Father,

Your presence has been so close to me, watching over me and loving me in the past year 2018.

I was so super duper busy to update my blog, apologies. I would love to catch up those moments of time that you revealed Yourself to me. I have the recounts somewhere, I just need to pull them out and type them before publishing in my blog. I remember You've revealed to me that it'll be unimaginable for me in what You are going to do in my life; I will always remember the sudden onset of the shiny red-orangey sky despite the sun was setting. I was expecting the darkening of the sky intensifying, but You suddenly brightened it up and the little puffs of clouds radiate your awesomely beautiful light, that was remarkable!

2019 is going to be a thrilling year for me: you're revealed to me to step out of my present vocation, to my surprise, because I'm still doing my MA. Through the testimony of the founder of Aenon Health Centre, and Who You are, I was encouraged to embrace this task with You. As I've said, I shall not go if You are not going with me because I knew I wouldn't be able to do it. With Christ all things are possible, this is the mentality I am leaving my present vocation to the new one as I'm having three modules this semester for my MA studies. Besides this transition, I also foresee another impacting step this year: to purchase my own dwelling place on earth. May I continue to receive confirmation after confirmation regarding this matter, dear Lord.

Abba, praise and thank You, Lord, for:

You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. (Eph 3:20, NKJV)

I LOVE YOU, Lord.
Help me to love the people around me too!

What I am unable to attain, He did it for me

What I am unable to attain, He did it for me.

What I could not do, The Lord did it so I could be with Him: God knew we would never be able to bridge the gap (of sin) to reach Him, so He did it. Why would He do it? He wanted us to be with Him, He wanted a relationship with us though He knew we were sinners and will continue to be. And He did it at the cost of de-throning Himself of His Kingly status and His heavenly citizenship and instead, clothed humility. Just so He could be with us and to show us the way to heaven and the way to the life He has purposed for us.

Furthermore, he put on extreme humility to suffer the kind of condemning death just so we could reach Him. Additionally, He didn't tag a price to His costly work. And, now, no, He still doesn't charge those who wants to cross the bridge to be with Him. Because of LOVE, because of LOVE, because of His compassionate love and mercy.

But we are just far from sacrificing ourselves for others, especially for people whom we think do not deserve our sacrifice. Did God think that we were worthy of His sacrifice....

Abba,

Thank you so so much: Todah Raba for this opportunity to visit Jesus' birth place and the country that you chose your people to give them Your ways and show them Your love. Learning the history of Israel gives me the inspiration to read the bible and also to help me understand some verses of the bible more relevantly. No one goes to the Father but through me..... The houses of the Jews were built two storeys: the second level is furnished and the family stays on the second level for the first level is for their son to furnish before he gets married and for his new family to stay. So, naturally, whoever wants to go to the father, has to go through the son's house!

When Jesus broke bread at the upper room, their custom is they break a piece out of the whole piece of bread and hide it away somewhere. The children would then go around to look for that piece of hidden bread. Whoever finds that missing piece of bread would be given the chance to ask for anything and the adult is to grant that request. That's how the verse, the father would give whatever you ask for! It is in relation to the context and culture of the Israelites!

Thank You, Adonai, for the opportunity to learn Hebrew language too and some Hebrew songs! Abba, it is also a good time to get to know some new people, very nice people of God! Hallelujah!

Looking at the different stones, artefacts and sites of the time in OT and the time in NT make me even more convinced of the reality of the records in the bible. And a lot of the reading opens up my understanding of the narration of the events happened for some, more than 6000 (OT) years ago and some, more than 2000 (NT) years ago. Praise You, Abba, that You are eternal! And You are love! And You are so ever patient with us, sinful humankind!

Thank You, Adonai, for revealing to us Your standards in the beatitudes, thank You for reminding me once again that Your standards are different from the standards of the world.

Praise You, too, Lord, for your faithfulness. As I watched the 3D video of the history of Jerusalem, nothing worth noticing but Your faithfulness! Over so many thousands of years, You still keep Your people in possession of the land. And, after so many events, Your people are still preserved. You are so faithful to Your promise to Abraham, Lord. After more than 6000 years, You have preserved them for Your divine purpose. You are AWESOME!

Caught in the rut of bZ bZ ...??

WOW! It has been far too long since i last updated my blog! I have been wanting to add The Lord's impression on me for 2017. Well, more than three quarters of 2017 is going to be over!!! very scary..

Hmm..... i enjoyed the intense bible reading in the beginning part of the year and was able to upkeep the schedule of reading the bible in a year til something came up. Nevertheless, i managed to get to the book of Judges 7.

Very excited and enjoying the something that came up: studying Masters in Arts (Counselling and Guidance). The delving into the program and the work that comes with it has been an eye opener for me. Though the duration is quite long, 3.5 years, it's going to be a nice, contemplative and rewarding journey of learning, discovering and unlearning.

I am also elated i could have the chance to go for a week of silent retreat at Chiang Mai. Another experience with God unveiled to me while walking through the labyrinth. It was amazing! I then began doing it at my own home: plainly pleasurable and gratifying to the soul. The recording below is just one of the many reflections i have had while i was there for the week.

The year 2017 (1)

It has been five very long months since I have last written. My life has still been eventful of God's presence and I am truly thankful and very grateful.
The first quarter of 2017 is just over. I was still planning to pen down my resolutions and before I even did that, in a flash, three months have already passed!

Answered prayer of my friend's job provision led me into year 2017 and encouraged me to press on in prayer for the lost. The deep compassion for the lost has always been upon my heart. The year ended with the conclusive study of Revelation in 2016, a spotlight on the reality of Jesus' coming and the end of the world for all mankind. It really pains me to keep being reminded of my family and closed ones who still refuse to choose Jesus. How could I communicate to them the reality of the end of the world, the impending absoluteness of Christ's coming and the eternal separation of humankind from God for those without Christ? Lord, have mercy on them. On one hand I wish Christ would come very soon so I could be in heaven with Him. On the other hand, I wish Christ would delay His coming as there are plenty who are yet to receive Jesus into their lives.

2017 is a year much looked forward to as there are going to be new specialised learning in the pathway and new relationships going to be built. And with this new venture, another avenue of knowing deeper of Him. He knows best and He is sovereign and loving, I trust Him completely with my life and what He would want accomplished in and through my life to fulfil His ultimate purpose for mankind and for His glory.

Jesus the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the World! Praise You!
