Want to apologise for being slow to give thanks to God. Will briefly up date two incidents that happened to my girls.
On 14th March 09 Rebecca came home from work at IT fair around 12.30 am . A boy entered the lift after her. All of a sudden, this boy stood down to hug her legs tightly. She screamed in fright. When the lift door open at 9 floor, he ran out quickly. Rebecca came home in a state of shock but I took it as a prank from a kid so didn't report to the police. He was about may be 13 yrs old.
Somehow, a month later, on 18th April 09. Racheal was attacked by the same guy in the lift, she was coming home from GB around 3.30pm. I was watering the plant outside the house. Racheal was in a state of shock, after brief desciption of the boy, Anthony and myself went down to look for him. We couldn't find him but made a police report.
Racheal put up a fierce fight with him. This time he ran out when the lift door open at 8th
floor. The police view this as a serious offend that they took time to search for the boy. In fact,
Racheal spend 3 hrs at the police station, the inspector from Jurong came all the way to Woodlands to interview her.
To our surprise, a week later on 24th April 09, the two girls were called to Jurong police station to pick photograph of the boy. Although, each when in to pick the photo of the boy at different time, they quickly picked the same photo.
The police actually went to the school to arrest him on that day. I believed the two girls were not the only ones attacked. Probably, many more.
Thank God that he is caught, yet at the same time hope he is corrected of such behaviour.

In God's hand
Today, I went to a doctor that treat pain. I was so amazed that the doctor told me that my headache has caused it all. I just can't believe it.
I was there to treat the pain on my neck, shoulders, arm to my fingers. The pain is more to my right. And for at least one year and more, I have no more headaches, even if I have is mild.
He told me he can treat me, so sure. I was taken aback as I have suffered for coming to 2 years end of April. I had been to Tan Tock Seng, the doctor there ridicule me. I had been to NUH to do MRI, the doctor says, there is nothing. I had been to Polyclinic, the doctor was so unwilling to give me a neck X-ray because I have alot of pain but he did. When he see me again, he made a remark," You think you have cancer ah." I was very upset but say nothing.
After 2 yrs, I found a doctor who acknowledge my headache and willing to treat me. The only worries I have is, the cost. I needed to be hospitalized and it is private treatment. Just can't imaged what the cost will mount up to.
On the way home, was amazed how the Lord sees me through all these difficult time. I could have passed off.
Please pray for me and also Dr. Siow who treat me to give me right treatment.

God's plan
There is so much to write that I do not know where to begin. Life is never the same when God plans to do a work in me, some 7years ago. It all begin in 2003, He starts preparing me by doing a deep work in my life. During that seasons, I can't tell that it was God's working. Then He shows me He has a plan for me Jer. 29:11. I would ask myself, "What plan?" Only when I look back, I begin to realise that God is Awesome and Beyond description. He has chosen me to do His God's size assignment through me not I who choose it myself.
In the next few months, I have alot to commit. Still waiting for clearer direction before commitment. This coming Saturday is my last session with Women in Covenant. Yet to sign up the next two modules for one year commitment. Was glad to hear from my group that they not only going to continue but are getting their friends in their church to sign up. It is so encouraging.
My hope is to move them on to be facilitators like what I am doing. I desire to see the women multiply and grow to strengthen others. This would be the most amazing.
God is good. He is a good God. He knows our weakness right from the begining, yet He still uses us in special ways.
I will be signing up IDT for 2 years training. A little fearful that I couldn't cope with test and memorizing of verses.
Very likely to leave for Cambodia next month, 26th to 29th May. Unless there is any changes, yet to book air tickets. Will be going with my prayer partner, Corina, to take a look before we further commit ourselves to lead small women's group for a week in August. I am excited over the short term mission work with Puspa.
During the month of July from 13th to 19th, may go with Corina for training at Port Dickson.
This is to equip us awareness on spiritual forces in 3rd world country and even our world today. There are people who involved themselves in occultic practices which we need to have special discernment to recognise evil forces for good. Knowing the way to pray for empowerment from God for protection and to know deliverance when there is a need.
God's promise to me,
Isa 54: 2,3a - Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back;
lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes, For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
If you feel the same heart beats for me, please pray for me that the Lord gives me peace and clear direction. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

God's love
It has been a long time since I last blog. During this period, I experience God's love and mercy.
Despite of my weaknesses physcially and emotionally, He has caused me to stand up again with new spiritual strength through His revelation. I have come to great understanding of my situation and have make choices to press on.
Life is not fair but God is good. I have George to set up my computer system and he has helped me much. Is amazing the way God works. Many time to earnest prayer for recovering my physical strength and also spiritual strength to meet trials of life.
During my time of struggles, the Lord still use me. I only need to be His channel only, He put strength in me. I know He is near and it was not me but Him.
For the first time, the Lord has brought a lady to be my personal prayer partner and also myself being her prayer partner for a season. We will bring down satan's strong hold in our lives. I gives thanks to Him.
BLESS THE LORD OH MY SOUL, ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME BLESS HIS HOLY NAME.

God's preservation
I have been ill for almost 2 wks. Yesterday, took the car to change the front 2 tyres. One of them puncture on the first day of Chinese New Year. I was on my way home from Jurong after visiting my sick 4th uncle and pray for my 4th aunt. I thanked God that she was open enough to allow me to pray for her but my 4th uncle was too harden, he got up and walk off to his room.
After we left, the minute we turned out of the car park, the left front tyre puncture.
Despite the disaster, I thanked God that when I look around for help, opposite the main road was a petrol kiosk. This attendant was looking at my direction, I cross the road and us him for help. He was so welcoming and with his friend they change to my spare tyre in 15 minutes. Imagine that I am not their regular customers and I don't pump Esso. We were total strangers.
Anyway, I rewarded them with Hong Pow.
We survived with the spare tyre for almost 2 wks. During the change for the front 2 tyres, I was told by the mechanic that the back left tyre is punctured too. I was horrified that we survived on this puncture tyre for this long. I sent my sister to airport on the 2nd day, some loud sound came from that wheel but it went off when I alighted her. I believe then it was the heavy lugguage pressing on it.
I got the tyre change too. Above all, I thank God that He has preserved us, everyone that has been riding on this car for the past 2 weeks is safed. The Lord is in the car.
It is because of the Lord's mercy that we are not consumed. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Move on to greater heights
I thank the Lord for inner strength despite of my physical weakness. This year may be a tough year due to economical crisis and many others.
Meeting up with friends that move in partnership with God is so different. Last week, Wednesday have tea with 2 friends, discussing the mission work in Cambodia. It is amazing to see the zealous spirits of my friends on the move by faith. My purpose was helping them connect.
Monday met up with Adeline, I knew her at my third Women's Breakthrough Weekend. A very amazing person who love the Lord. A person who intercede for others, walk discourage women in their lives journey. Her undying love for others and the Lord's work touches my heart. She found favour with God in her ministries despite many politics she faces. Her life encounter with God, causes me to marvel. It was not any ridiculous make up stories, God's hand is upon her and watches her so closely.
And today, I meet up a group of mothers at Karen's place. The desire to come together to pray for our teengers bring us there. In future, we may have more houses open for morning prayer. It just so amazing because we have tasted the goodness of God and saw His mighty hand set teengers free. The power of prayers have caused many changes in the youth ministries and changes in the lives of teengers that have got a problem. It's so heart warming to hear life transformed, emotional pain heal, relationship with parents mended and a greater desire to know God and draw close to Him.
I believe Singapore will experience a time of revival, if many more continue in earnst prayer. I am seeing God's hand moving mightily with three different group of people I met. I thanked God for the opportunity to know these people. Their life encourages me much despite of our different personality, we are able to come together as one. They are always listening out to one another for good and no politics. Always believing in prayer and thanks giving with praise to God.
I have learned and see much from them. We shared common interest, passing good prayer books around. Always lifting one another up in time of needs, not jugdemental nor critical. Ready to learn with teachable spirits. Not using scripture to pin point others in their time of pain but with gracious corrections by holding their hands, walk them down the narrow path which the Lord wants us to choose.
I am glad to have move on to greater heights which I never thought of, though God has promised me 5 yrs ago through the scriptures during my devotion time, that he will lead me to higher ground which I never get to understand what He meant, until now.
I am glad that I have found favour with God too. I am not worthy but He has made me worthy.
Praise be to the almighty God, I know that He has a plan for me which He is revealing to me day by day.

Baptism
Is amazing to be able to witness my two girls' baptism yesterday. For many years, have been waiting for yesterday. Glad to have them by immersion.
Yesterday was one of the most difficult day but I thanked the Lord that He is with me. I was able to sort out stuff with Racheal before baptism take place.
I felt the power of darkness, is very real. To learn to give thanks and praise God in difficult times is not easy, yet Jesus has already promised to set us free from evil forces when we call on His name.
The Lord gave me a word -Isa 44:3-4
For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring;
And they shall spring up as among the grass, like willows by the water courses.
I came across this verses long time ago. Yet, when I open the bible yesterday night after coming back for their baptism. These verses make a great different when it caught my eyes.
It gave me the promises of God and my heart rest in Him.
