He is FAITHFUL!
I'm going through some tough times now.. Many times I just feel like crying. I know I have to stop having negative thoughts. I have to hold my tears in front of others and I can only cry before my Father in heaven. I was rather disappointed and even lost my trust in Him. The more I thought about my situation, the more I feel sad. I know this is one area in my life that I've yet to totally put my trust in Him. Perhaps that's why I'm tested and was hurt so badly.
However, I still wanna thank Him for being faithful and always there even though I lost my trust in Him. He is an amazing God. He understands all that I'm going through and He made all other things so beautiful just to let me know that He has never forsakened me. Just when I feel that I'm alone, He showed His faithfulness in the very simple things in life. He blesses me with people in my life who blesses me, He stops the rain for me, He sends His Rhema through the service to encourage me. All these may not seemed much to others, but they mean a lot to me. I can't find words good enough to elaborate the deep gratitude that I feel towards Him. The more difficulties I faced each day, the more I experience His grace towards me. Maybe nobody will understand what I'm talking about, but it doesn't matter. All I wanna say is God is a good and faithful God.
Maybe you are feeling lost... Have you lost the hope in God? Discouraged by the situation you are in? Be sensitive and you'll know that God is always there holding us with His arms. When we feel that all hope's lost, He'll always do something to show His faithfulness. Spend some time thinking through what He has done in your life. He is STILL DOING lots of things for us. I got this revelation while encouraging one friend.
Also wanna quote someone who gave me a Word, "Be still and know that I am God."

Frustrations
I have the last 5 min to finish typing out my frustrations.. I've been scolding my pupils from 10am until 4pm.. I'm very disappointed with the kids. They had been using my name and my HOD's name to enter the PE room to take things. Caught a few of them today. I'm exploding... I made the decision to stop this from happening again. So I went to make an announcement to stop everyone from bringing their Badminton rackets to school. By the way, there's a badminton craze here in school!!!! Pupils without rackets therefore went into MY PE ROOM to take MY RACKETS!!! In a fit of anger, I made an announcement to stop all activities...

Showers of Blessings!!
Hmm.. it's been a long time since my last entry. Realised I've typed this very long ago.. but kept forgetting to post it up... so it's a late entry...
Well, I guess I didn't have much to talk about that's why I didn't appear on my own blog plus I've been going out everyday since Sun. For those who did not know, it was my birthday yesterday! Yup! So, from Sun until yesterday, I've been out celebrating my birthday with my frens from different walks of life. Ha! How I wished all my frens know each other, then I don't have to celebrate so many times. I've got a cake every single day for the past 4 days. Haha! Thank God I don't grow fat easily. The cakes are really delicious.... and fattening!!! Yum yum!!
Well, I guess I must mention my wonderful CG. My wonderful W140 celebrated my birthday for me on Sun! I was overwhelmed by their love, which was translated into a SWEET sabotage. My beloved CG bought me a cup of Milo. I had to finish half the cup of this SUPER DUPER EXTRA SWEET Milo!!! What a torture!! I hate sweet stuffs. I heard it's half filled with condensed milk! If you don't believe it is that sweet, try it. I don't even drink hot milo with it's normal amount of sugar and condensed milk. Yup! I don't take food or drinks that are too sweet. Followed by that, everyone in the CG each gave me a gift. Then, when it was my dearest Deb's turn, my beloved CGL called all to gather around me. I smelt something fishy... Deb actually gave me her beloved YELLOW BEETLE!!! And I got hit by everyone. Well... I feel so... loved by all of them. Ha! Truly, I feel touched by their efforts in making my day happy. Thanks my brothers and sisters!!! Love you lots lots!!!

The Great Awakening!
It's finally the school holidays! The long awaited rest! However, I didn't really rest for the past 2 days. In fact, I went to attend a Track & Field course at SMU. We had lots of physical activities but it was nothing compared to those intensive ones I had when I was still studying in NIE and also the Instructor Rope Course that I took last year. However, my body was just too tired and worn out after the 1st day. Therefore, I came to realise that I'm old. Haha! Thanks to my dearest Huiling who confirmed that.
I admit that age does have a part to play, however, my inactive schedule also contributes to this tiredness. I may have run and play alot with my kids in school, but I did not work the other parts of my body. After a half day course yesterday, I decided that there is a need to tone up my body. I need to be a healthy and strong person in order to be an effective witness for Christ. My goal now is to build myself strong SPIRITUALLY, PHYSICALLY and EMOTIONALLY.
Spiritually
I was very very impacted by Pastor Kong when he shared the WORD last Sun. He told us how he used to rush home from school and inmersed himself in the presence of God. From his sharing, I could feel his tremendous love for God and his strong relationship with Him. His unfailing seeking of God everyday explains why he's so anointed and successful as a person. I want to be like him. I came back home constantly telling myself and God that I want to have the same kind of strong relationship with God. I know it's really time for me to be disciplined and serious in Him. It wasn't that I wasn't serious before this, but I think I can be more serious and urgent about my calling and my destiny. I want to come to a stage of enjoying God's presence everyday. Yes I admit I find it hard to come to Him everyday to seek His face. I think it's a phase that everyone will go through. However, perserverance will definitely bring us closer to God. Eventually, we will enter into His glory, and prayer will be such a joy rather than a dread. I'm motivated and determined to enter into the enjoyment stage of seeking God this time. No matter how long it is going to take for me to breakthrough, I'm not going to give up. I want to live a victorious life whereby everyday I lean on His strength. I'm tired of living a substandard life where I lived by my own strength. I'm tired of struggling in the pit. I want to get out of my own pit and keep walking in the ways of God. I want to live my best for God!!
Physically
I want to tone up my abs, arms and legs. Why? Of cos to look better! Haha! Most importantly of all, while toning up, I'll make myself stronger physically. I had been falling sick rather frequently nowadays. Probably because of my unbalanced diet and also lack of exercise. I hope to get myself to eat breakfast everyday and to exercise regularly. Hopefully by the end of this year, I'll have a nicer tone.
Emotionally
Those who know me well will know that I'm a very emotional person. I cry alot and I cry easily. Watching a touching movie will make me lose tons and tons of water. I know there is a need to control my emotions. I need to keep myself emotionally strong. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I don't want to cry anymore, but rather I shouldn't cry so easily in front of others. I have to learn to control my tears. Not just in crying, I realised I get angry easily this season of my life. Perhaps I'm not satisfied with myself and the people around me. Perhaps I didn't look at things in God's point of view. I'm a perfectionist though not to the extreme. When things do not go the way I expectedt it to be, I get angry. Was reading "Extravagant Worship" and got this from the book: "Determine to be joyful and glad regardless of the circumstances around you." This book seemed to speak to me during this season of my life. Learnt a lot from it. Get the book if you don't have one. Or borrow from me when I finish reading it.
In order to build up this 3 essential parts of my life, I know I need lots and lots of discipline in my time management. Don't be sad if I reject going out with you. This is a season that I want to build myself strong. A time for me to spend a lot of time with God. God showed me a verse last night in Jude 20:
"But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."

Testify to Love
Yesterday was Teachers' Day celebration.. A group of pupils performed a dance to the tune Testify To Love by AVALON. It brought back memories of the days I spent in SAJC when I 1st saw the show Touch by an Angel in SAJC's Chapel on Friday. In this particular episode, it talks about a talented songwriter who was disappointed with God as her child was dying of a disease. She lost all hope of living and her passion for composing songs. However, an angel from God appeared to her eventually and she got back her hope in God. Her child still died though, but she wrote this beautiful song to testify of God's love during the period of tough times. Take time to enjoy the lyrics. If u must, do look for the song and listen to it. It's a very "pretty" song.
Testify To Love
All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
when words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak
what love has done
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
when words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
when words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak
what love has done
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
when words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
AVALON
