I want to thank God for the relief of my headache since Wed 27/6/07. I feel so much better, amazingly the pain seems to have tone down so much. I can't imagine that I struggle for two months 26/4 to 26/6, going about my tuition work and meeting people. Tuesday night was so bad that I have to cancel lesson. One of my student's mum insisted that I take a cup of coffee when I try to abstain from coffee and tea because of caffine that some said caused headache.
Mentor Y told me to sleep early. I did this two things that night. Strange enough, I felt so much better the next day. And Mentor P asked me to go drink coffee with her and I did. It seems to help. Want to thank those who pray for me. Will be doing MRI for my brain on 18/7.

My one life
I thank God for the life that I have and for the many things I experience in Him. My past two months are simply exciting. I mean so far in Covenant, not because I move on to this church but I see the moving of God's hand in people's life. Their special desire to know God and wanting to walk in His ways. People desire to know Him better, they are seekers, it is so encouraging.
My life has never been the same for the past 3 to 4 yrs. The Lord just lead me on, is really no turning back. Each steps that I take with Him encourages me further. Each day, there is always something He wants me to know and learn. Although the path was difficult, it is none of me but all of Him. He opens path that was not possible but he did it for His glory, that all I believe.
Recently, for whatever reasons, I don't know why that I have a persistant headache for past 2 mths and my body is tired easily. If not for God's strength and grace I wouldn't be able to go through each day properly. Whoever read this, pray for me to be released from this headache.
Thank you, may God always lead you in His path that you may know His wisdom and grace.
For my this one life, I desire to know Him and serve His purpose. And also learn to balance my life with my family, and not neglect them because these are the people God gives me that I should cherish.

Hamster missing
Early this morning, Racheal opened the cage door to allow her hamster move around the play house she had made. Less than 15 minutes, the hamster disappeared, it could not be found until now (8.45am). She tried finding for awhile before she left for school.
On Sunday morning, same thing happen but when she called ' baby' immediately the hamster responded and jump back to it position ( play house). This time it didn't. I wonder what going to happen after she comes back from school. Now she must have lost her concentration in school.
So the hamster story end here, it didn't die of accident but went missing.

A wonderful time with Lady J
Seeing Lady J's countenance changed to such cheerful look, really amazed me, it was completely different from the first time I met her one year ago ( 2006 April). I thank God that through Charmaine, I got to know her.
She has become that new creation of God. It is all of God's grace and not everyone get to experience this because it is the working of the Holy Spirit in His time. It is the mercies of God. I feel so sure that she has found favour with God and I believe her life will never be the same again from now on. It is just so amazing.
All I know is that her soul is set free from the grip of pain and hurt. My heart rejoice, the joy is undecribable. Just like the word of God says in 2 Cor 5:17,
Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
I thank God that I have this opportunity to meet her in this life time to see for myself God's work and to be able to witness God's amazing grace. Many things can happen because many times we are blinded to self, yet God does not forsake us but do a work in our life that bring glory to His holy name.
I also believe that in all this the Lord is teaching me His wonderful truth of life.

An amazing breakthrough for a lady
Yesterday, I received a sms from lady J. I am so glad for her that she had a breakthrough 2 weeks ago. For one and half year she was gripped by hurt and anger which result in hatred.
After reading a book her friend passed her, on forgiveness, she was convicted. She said she did what she thought was unthinkable to forgive someone. She said that that act of obedient to God to forgive release her and save her life.
A week later, that person wrote to ask her for her forgiveness. This is definitely God's amazing work. It is a spiritual experience that she had with God. I am so proud of her that she is set free from now.
In fact, I have been wanting to meet her up since we last catch up 6 mths ago. I was so caught up with many things. What a wonderful thing to hear from her. It's just simply amazing. Will be meeting her this Monday 25/6/07. What rejoicing time it can be.

Women's breakthrough Weekend 15-17 June 2007
It is about One Life:One Purpose, One God: One Allegiance, One Body: One idenitity.
It was the first time in my life to experience a women's retreat. It was very well organised, although it was such a big group of us. I got to know many people from all walk of life. Especially their transparency in their testimonies touches my heart.
They shared how the Lord led them out of their pains, fears, shames and hurts through their previous breakthrough. Some of them had their breakthrough this time round.
As for myself, I thank God that He has been working in my life day by day. I learn to deal with my problems once it surface and I had my breakthrough some 3-4 yrs ago. I had a wonderful small group, the facilitater is very caring, full of energy. Specially prayerful, she made sure that all of us are well taken care of. On the whole, the leaders prepared themselves much in prayer before we even set off for this retreat.
Message by Pastor A, help me have a new insight on the book of Jonah. The way she shared it, give me great understanding why Jonah disobeys God.
Forgiveness is divine, we feel the pain, we have to acknowledge the pain and lastly release the pain to God instead of clinging to it because it will bring about death to our soul.
V's sharing is just as good.
She ended with a code by John Wesley - Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at ll the times you can, to all the people you can and as long as you can. And she said, just keep swimming.
Pastor A wrote :
The silences of God
"When God seems most silent in our lives,
it is when He is doing His deepest work,
Do not fear His silence,
nor be agitated that He is not hearing.........
On the contrary,
He wants our undivided attention to be still.......only then,
can He deposit into our lives
that which is precious and timeless.
His brightest hope always shines through
our darkest nights"
She also wrote the theme song -
Verse 1
In my life of searching
For the plain and simple way,
Many paths were so winding,
The roads were never stright
Then the Spirit of God broke through and healed my broken wings
And showed me the way into His heart
Chorus:
And I know that God is leading in a clear and certain way
My one life for your purpose, Jesus,
I offer up this day
To follow you completely, to do all that you say
Cleanse my life, fill me up
And use me this day
Make a certain breakthrough
Make it today
Verse 2
In these days of danger,
Lord we rest upon Your grace
With Your tender and skillful hands
You shape this stubborn clay
Yes, You calm my inmost being, giving courage to hope again
And to build this one life in power and faith

The working of the Lord
Life has never been the same, each week is an exciting christian journey for me. Although, I am just me, the Lord blesses me with great understanding from above which I never had before. It is just amazing how God gives wisdom to us when we ask of Him.
Until you experience it, if not you can't proclaim the goodness of God with joy in your heart. It is so real to me. It was my 9th week worshiping in a different church, the speaker was just a church staff, same as last week. The two people share their message just like what other Pastors in the church did. The same kind of testimony with oneness, spirit and their trust in the Lord amazed me.
I came to an understanding that Speaking for God is different from God speaking through you.
Speaking for God is this way - A person, filled with a certain burden for the church and preached it as warnings from God as the bible say so. How we must obey God's words and keep His commandment. And that God is angry with you sinning, leaving the rest filled with guilt and shamed. Christians filled with fear and hopelessness. Didn't know how to get back to God, somehow there is no peace in them.
God speaking through you - The person has a special calmness, peace from above. There is no need of forceful or stressful words to entreat the christian to walk God's way. He knows that God is in control, he allows God to work in people's hearts in His time. He makes us think through what he shares, he testify to help us see how God works in his life. He shows us how God is in control and how we can entrust our life to Him.
I believe some people knew it the head knowledge way but never truly experience when God really uses you to be that channel for Him. We often do it for God our way and make ourselves that channel, instead of waiting for God to connect us and make us His channel.
I thank God for the past 3 yrs, that He is the one who taught me and teaches me to wait on Him before He connects me and make me His channel. I received uncountable blessings although I face many challenging trials which when I now looked back I wonder how I actually went through them, is amazing. Without God, I am nothing, I thank Him that I have found favour with Him.
Gal 6:3
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Lam 3:25
The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
I will be with the women's breakthrough weekend from 15-17 June at Batam. Was very surprised to know that there are 205 women coming and some of them took leave from home or work to come. I look forward to it very much. Yesterday, we gather to pray and prepare ourselves for the trip. We are supposed to follow a devotional plan and read up a book on 'Changes that heal' before we go on the trip. It is such a big number divided to 29 groups, yet they are so well organised, everyone of us are very well taken care of. All leaders and assistance leaders in a group of 7 are to pray for their group individual before the weekend. I never in my life seen such a spiritual preparation before.
I will do a write up on Thai Mission trip 7-14 Dec 2006. How the Lord spoke to me and the process of preparation which led to completion. This task took me and the youth 5 wonderful mths to finish and I saw God's hand upon me greatly. This experience with God is unforgetable.
