| really like what dr bernard says, consistency is one of man's greatest challenges! as u can see..i haven't been blogging very consistently even tho' i wld really love to....like the chinese saying goes....xin you yu er li bu zu...haha anyway....
I'm on urgent leave today cos i went to visit mingli's mom during the wee hours of the morning and only returned at ard 3am... sigh feel so sad for her and her family....it's really been a tough journey for her all these years...having to grapple with the loss of her sister to cancer, taking over the financial and other responsibilities of her niece and nephews, looking after her mom, and church commitments.....she is to me a great example of faith and trust in God....so much love and commitment involved in sticking through all these with God....still walking with Him and trusting in His sovereignty. how beautiful is that really. i believe her crown, rewards and inheritance in heaven will be a great one. Sending all my heartfelt prayers to her and family during this difficult time...praying that her mom will supernaturally encounter God and she will receive the salvation of her soul. trusting God for the best outcome He has for mingli and her family.
i don't even know if she has fully finished grieving over the loss of her sister all these years, and now she has to grieve over her mom, how hard it is on her! I can only pray that God will sustain, strengthen, encourage and comfort her with His all encompassing presence and with the support from all of us her friends and family.
Once again also sending my prayers to some:
- Ping - who is very busy at work and spending time with liot. may God also grant her the desires of her heart to have a 2nd child and move on to a new job.
- my brother - his marriage is on the rocks and he has a newborn who is only 5 months old. i pray that God will use me and people around them to just supernaturally minister to them, and they be willing to give each other and the marriage another chance, to forgive and rebuild the relationship in God. that thru this ordeal, they will also truly give their lives to God.
- clients - pray that God will touch them in His ways and use whatever approaches and people and situations to meet their needs and heal their pains.
- jeanie's dad - healing and good recovery from mild stroke...and the physio will be effective for him.
- xuan's dad - God will continue to watch over his health.
- darren - to know and understand God's will and direction for his life and our family. to have faith in God to provide above and beyond our family, to be a blessing to our parents, friends and the unfortunate. to find a job that he can truly grow and develop to be the person U want him to be, and make the difference U want him to make in society. to graduate well for his post grad diploma and to carry on with his Masters in Social Work.
- For God to continue to provide financially for our new place and the finances to start a family, fulfill our travel dreams, and to meet the needs of others.
- for me to gain confidence in my work, to have the grace and favor of God and with boss/colleagues and keep loving and serving Him more no matter what He allows to happen in my life....
- our parents' salvation!
How then should i live? Teach me Your ways oh God....that i may number my days and live wisely....to fear You and do what You tell me to do.....like the final words from Solomon says.
To do business till You come, to evangelize till You come, to encourage one another till You come, to pursue my rewards till You come, and to live in hope till You come. Make me brave God!
