12月12日 A Brand New Beginning... New ManLast Sunday, all the way at our Jurong West church building, Sam had his water baptism. After attending City Harvest Church for 5 years, Sam has finally decided to go for his water baptism. Halleluyah!
Indeed God is a good God. He not only leads us toward Him, He mold us and change us to who we are called to be. Similarly, Sam had experienced God's goodness in his life. God not only gives him peace, mold his character to be more patient and gentle, God also gave our marriage life, and took us out of debts. All these will not be possible if it was not for God.
I believe God is going to do more work in our lives, to use us mightily in His kingdom, so long as we are willing.
On the baptism day, we also witnessed hundreds of candidates getting water baptised. What bring up the excitement was when one elderly entered into the pool. She is around 80-90 of age, yet she took up the courage and faith to go thru the water baptism. My! When I saw this scene, I can't help but to think to myself, when will my grandma go down the baptism pool one day, and the rest of my family members experience God in their lives?
I'm sure, one day they will experience God's goodness in their lives, so long as we continue to reach out to them, unceasingly.
"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit,
and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give to you."
John 15:16 12月6日 Decision MakingDecision making always seems to be such a tough thing to do, especially when it concerns a major role of our life.
At this point of my life, I was given 2 options to choose from. One seems exciting and golden opportunity, while the other seems boring and lifeless. Anyone would go for the former, but I've chosen the latter instead.
Reason? Honestly, minute after I've made the decision, doubts flood in, causing me to waver and think if i've made the wrong choice.
God, I want you to be the centre of my life. The reason to all my decision making. Let it not be my own selfishness to make the decision, but for You. Let it be what you want me to do, and not what I only want.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 12月5日 Men are natural painters!I've always believed that woman can do anything and everything by ourselves. We are made equal right?
Only on Sunday that I realised that it is not always the case. We finally had a chance to paint the door at my son's room after a long while.
The paint on his door was peeling off, due to my poor painting skills when I tried to act smart and paint on my own last year. I used a normal broad brush to paint on the door, only to realise that brush is not the correct tool to use for glossy paint. The result of my 3 hours hard work was ugly brush lines and paint droplets on the door... Nonetheless, we had that for 1 full year. Haha...
Just last Sunday, we finally had a chance to give the door a fresh coat of paint. After a 1 hour over of scrapping of the old paint, we laid the old newspapers on the floor and got ready to paint. This time round, my husband Sam did the painting all by himself, while I stood there and watch. Of cos, I served him drinks and some munchies.. Oh well.. I didn't really do much, but at least, I did the scrapping :) Only then, that I realised, men, are indeed natural painters! The paint is more evenly spread and no lines and droplets of paint anymore! Smooth and clean :)
Now my son has a more decent looking bright yellow door at his room! Great Job my dear!
He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver
and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread,
and fine linen, and of the weaver
—those who do every work and those who design artistic works.
