Ushering in 2009 (January)

Sick in bed

I spent my last two weeks of December 2008, and first few days of January 2009 in bed. I was down with high fever, a bad flu and an infectious sore throat. It was really very disappointing to spend Christmas; and to begin the New Year both in bed respectively. At such time, the person I missed most is my late dear mother. But I often encourage myself to look positively with the vision of God in view she has completed her task, but God is not finished with me yet. I have my responsibility on earth to fulfill.

Hence I ask the Lord to revitalize me with physical health and enable me to accomplish my commitment in Him.

Church Commitment

I took me two years before I finally agreed to take up the Net leadership ministry. Presently I am already helping out in the Hokkien service among the elderly folks, and coffee corner (which serves light refreshment on Sunday morning).

God has provided me a very good lady pastor and mentor in Sister Caroline. Through her spiritual insight, and wise leadership, the Lord renewed my confidence and commitment to take up some leadership ministry in church.
The Lord also provided me a very good co-worker in Sister Polly who helps me to adjust in Victory Family Centre since day one when I first stepped in. She is now my buddy and prayer partner! I thank God for both of them their influence in my life.

Praise God for His faithfulness and patience with me. May I be found faithful in my commitment to God and to the church leadership.

The Promise of the Lord always the Same, Yesterday, Today & Forever ..

Many of my concerned friends have often asked me, How are you been supported? Are you working? etc. Very often I am lost for an answer to their questions. It is a very personal covenant that God has with me in my journey with Him. However, I can testify boldly that you need not to understand the why, what or how in His personal plan for you, you need only to Obey and Trust.

Remember I shared about my journey in March-April 07 issue? The challenge from the Lord in His promise to me in Isaiah 46:3-5: The Lord said to me I AM HE, WHO WILL CARRY YOU; I AM HE WHO WILL SUBSTAIN YOU ..EVEN TO YOUR OLD AGE, AND GREY HAIR . 

Since then, every time I tried on a fulltime job, something sure to happen. But above all, most amazing is the way the Lord provided for all my needs, be it physical, social, or medication and households.

My faithful Lord keeps His promise, and I am humble to admit Though I don t understand it all, I don t deserve it at all, but I cannot run away from Him . I just Obey and Trust.

It will be a very long list to testify on how the Lord takes care of me and my brother Jimmy. However, we are thankful to God that the Housing Board has finally approved for my brother s flat to be rented out. In this way, it helps us a lot financially. Praise the Lord.

I have also found a two days job in KUMON. Praise the Lord this time the centre is just near my block. I help there twice a week for 3 hrs each day. I count this as my own pocket money.
