Vanessa Aka Serene"You are the salt of the earth;... the light of the world..." Matt 5:13-14
February 02 He knowsBut the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Matt 10:30
He knows you as who you are
The way you manners, the way you feel
He knows every detail of your life
Your every tear, every pain, every joy
He hears you everytime you speak to Him
And helps you in times of distress
He is right besides you, comforting you
Even when you may not know
He plans your paths in His ways
And direct your feet toward His will
From common clay He fashions us
To a fine art piece you cannot find
With songs of praise
Our burdens are lifted
When we worships Him
He comforts us in His bosom
He knows you the way you are
He loves you the way you are June 15 Being a SUPER WomanHi Everyone!
I'm finally back! Been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to update my blog. Yes, some of you may have known, that I had changed my job since January this year, hence I had been really busy since then.
Being a PA nowadays, is REALLY a challenge. Ever since I stepped onto this job, I realised that I not only need to learn how to manage the administration part of the company, normal travel arrangements, and probably handle some minutes. There are many more which I never know I need to handle, like what I'm doing now.
My new job requires me to work + think with the speed of light, be super knowledgeable (Ms Know How), be super hands-on (Ms Handy Lady), Expert Traveler (Ms Travel Consultant), be super IT savvy (IT consultant), be super nanny (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner Sir?), super maid (Maria) and many other roles to play.
Today, I just learnt how to fix up a standing box fan in the office, impressed right?  I guess, I would never know that I can do this much, had I not taken up this role.  December 12 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 December 06 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 December 05 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.
Exodus 35:35
November 21 Prawning ? Or Fishing Prawns?"I've caught it!"
Just 2 weeks ago, I had my very 1st fishing.. erm prawn fishing session with my cellgroup members at FarMart over the weekend. Together with our friends and family members, we gathered at FarMart at around 3 pm and started "prawning". It had been raining heavily since morning on that day, we were so worried that we might need to call off this event. But thank God, the rain subsided quite a bit when it was nearer to 3pm.
For most of us, it was our first attempt in prawn fishing and absolutely have no experience in that. But that was fun! We learnt the basic technique from our expert, Loke Peng and his buddy, who are regular fishermen. They showed us the techniques and tricks of getting a prawn 'hooked' and ultimately catching them. Sounds simple.. but in actual fact, it is really not easy. Not only we need to 'lure' the prawns with a good bait, we need to have patience to wait for the prawns to be lured, and pulling up at the right time to get them hooked! For 4 hours, I've only managed to catch 3 prawns...
 haha.. its not bad for an amateur! Most important of all, all of us had a great time fellowshipping with one another. We are one step closer to one another after this event
 ... but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head August 31 Sky AmazingFinally, Sam's transport company started last week after a long wait.
After 2 years of working in this line, Sam has grown accustomed to the irregular working hours and driving on the road. God is indeed our amazing God who sees us thru all seasons of our life, molding us stronger and stronger each day. Because of His grace and everlasting love, and the miracle he has given to us, we decided to name the company -- Sky AMazing, for Sky represents the Heaven and Amazing because God is simply amazing.
We believe that as we are rejoicing here for the opening of this company, Father in heaven is also rejoicing with us in Heaven. Thank you, Father. Without you, we could not have gone so far.
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me,
and I in him, bears much fruit;
for without Me, you can do nothing.
John 15:5
On top of this, I have also done up a website for Sky Amazing. Let's hope that the business will grow from this day forth!
