Missions Rededicated

Yesterday, Pastor Ross Paterson came and spoke to us at church. It was a time for me I felt to rededicate to God my life to mission. I have always sensed that call but the question is "WHEN". I had wanted to respond first to the altar ministry but I went up to pray for Veron. I just sensed God leading me there. The moment I prayed for her, words just flowed and I knew God was speaking to her heart as much as God was speaking to me. She felt the tangible presence of God, the heat and all that and I thank God for allowing me to experience his presence in such a real way.

When it came to my turn to be prayed for, it was a reassurance and voice from God. One particular thing that spoke to me was she prayed, "When the time comes, you will know and it will be very clear to you." I instantly could identify with what that meant. In my life, I have been very CLEAR in 2 areas. 1. To resign from my job and enter bible school at age 23, 2. To leave my former church which I had attended for 10 years almost 4 years ago. I knew the next time when God calls me to mission, long term, it will be clear.

The speaker's wife also prayed for my child that God will be with me in the whole delivery process and also she will be born with a sense of God's purpose and call. Just as Samuel in the bible was born with that call of God. Never thought of that and never made that as a prayer myself but yesterday, I also dedicated her to the Lord and may I truly be one who will lead her to know her call.

it's a girl!

Ok. after a long wait. Finally... the gynae is able to confirm that the baby is a girl. Although the disclaimer clause states 80% - 90% accuracy. :) Quite happy that every 'structure' is in place. She has 2 eyes, one nose, one mouth. two hands with five fingers on each hand, a beating heart, 2 kidneys, one stomach a brain... , one tiny head, feet measuring 3cm each and liver... (the nurse in the clinic used the word 'structure' so .....) The detailed scan is suppose to detect any abnormalities so the result so far is normal.... Curious to find out though what she will look like. I am thinking of keeping long hair for her but daddy says, no, short hair better. So, till then... we shall see. yup and not forgetting to keep praying for her to be a teachable and moldable kid and one who will love God always.

truth hurts but it heals too

2 nights ago, I asked a very close friend of mine if I am an insistent person. Haha.. without any second thoughts, she said yes. Wow, that drove a long nail right through my heart. If you ask, you'll get the answers. Of course, initially I would think to myself, I do not think I am an insistent person all the time but I only insist when I am sure about certain things close to my heart i.e. when I have been seeking God about it or it is IN my system due to long periods of conditioning e.g. spiritually or just my personal value system. That analysis certainly made me felt better but it also got me reflecting (truth heals). As I thought through, certainty about something for me will activate a wish/desire to see it happen immediately and NOW. If it is God's will, it is NOW. As I look back on buying our first flat, it was the same. When I first view the unit (my current place), I was quite sure that the house was IT. But my then fiance and husband now do not think so and asked me

6 weeks plus & 4.5mm

I went to the gynae yesterday. For the first time, I heard and saw the baby's heartbeat through the ultrasound scan. It's quite amazing at this point. The gynae told me that the baby is not feeding from me yet, it is attached to a yolk and the yolk is where it draws its nutrients from. It's just great to think that when God created the reproduction system, God saw to every detail. I wonder where did the yolk come from and how it is attached to the baby. It's a mystery to me but it causes me to sing yet again in praise to God. When people heard that I was pregnant, they would expressed their excitement in WOWS & YAYS. For myself, I didn't had such an expression. When I found out that I was pregnant via the test kit, I went "Oh, I am pregnant" - as a matter of factly. Similarly, when Adrian found out that I was pregnant, he had the same response as me. We weren't into screaming the whole house/neighbourhood down. For us, it was sober and thoughtful.
