Dear Mum,
I love you very much and you mean the world to me. I will take care of you and dad forever, remember that.
M- Many things you have given me
O-Opportunities you;ve given me for me to grow
T-Tender loving care each day
H-The heart that love God and her children.
E:Eyes and ears that see and hear us
R: Respectful and reverent towards God.

put them all together and you get the word Mother. Thats the word that means the world to me.
"The Lord bless you and keep you,
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you,
The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace"
numbers 6:24-26

I went to church today. Brought phoebe again who actually chose to come to church over going to cheng chau island with the rest. well, it is a price i paid too. Was really looking forward to the sun, sand and sea.. surprisingly, when i got up, it was pouring , all the way till 1pm! and i was thanking God cos i know i wouldnt have fun going to the island too. ahah. They all didnt go in the end!God is good. So anyway, this is todays message,
Faithfulness-fruit of the spirit:
A faith filled person:
1)A set of unshakeable assumptions
Assumptions:
a) That Jesus is Lord
b)Our life is "leased" to God and is not our own
c)what happens in me is better than what happens to me
d)God has a plan for my life and he will paint this picture according to his will

2)Learnt how to approach "mountains" (Hebrews 11:32-35)
He is either able to "tunnel through mountains" or move them.
3)Live by commitment rather than by feelings. It takes faithfulness to be faithful to His call, Be faithful even to the point of death and He will give you the crown of Life.
4)Rest in God's approval. Be God's faithful servant!

So mummy, remember to run the race and although there are many many mountains, you can Conquer it with our Lord's strength!
For me, i made a commitment that i will follow through God's plan in my life to be a social worker till He calls me to something else.iNDEED an apt message.
I feel God is leading Phoebe so much.. she was telling me how she didnt think anything was wrong relying on herself..and that she needed to be more convinced of what faith is and today! so apt. i actually saw her cupping her hands so tight and praying.. there was a call for salvation but i didnt push it. Actually i felt a bit stupid. The pastor said that if we brought a friend, come on to the alter with them and i didnt do that. I had a strong feeling she would have expected me to. I need more courage! I'm really Happy to see what God is doing in her.. like.. now she seems to take ownership over going to church.. like she knows i'm dancing in church on the 29th and she gladly said, yeah! i can bring my friends who will be here on holiday! wow.. what a strong statement. Will keep praying for her and courage for me.
i bought a really nice skirt for sis today.. it was too small for me.. and really nice for her to wear to work soon.. i cant believe she's going to start working..well anyway. then i had dance prac at 4 and yeah! their pastor is sooo strict and i feel very discouraging.. like he laughs at the dancers. It scary, i'd cry of uncle billy did this to the dancers. pASTOR Morris thinks its a joke u know..but at the end of the day, he said that he was happy woth the progress and i felt glad for the dancers for all their hard work. After that, we went to the back of church and shopped for tops for our perf and found pink transparent tops and we will wear it with something inside.. nice! am going to get 7 of those for riverz dancers to wear for sonic festival.. will pass them thru lydia who comes on fri! i hope at least.Sigh too cheap! they only cost like s$3.50. anyway, i got so many groceries today.. i ran out of money..but got my $3 hkd green vege's, just love em. and then i went to the supermaket and it chalked up like $60hkd. need to tide over the exam prep period and getting stuff for my friends who come on thurs..sigh. no time to study and i'm still not doing anything now la. sigh. gonna do SOMETHING now.
