iiiinDecisivenesssss INTERVENED

I had wanted to bring my parents to this "teo chew" evangelistic dinner. I went through the process of asking them and they agreed but i procrastinated due to my indecisiveness when it came to buying the ticket. the day before yesterday i was at a bakery shop and i saw this nice frame with this quote

"If you can't feed a hundred, feed one at a time"

this quote stuck with me until I got home, so i journalled down the fact that this quote got stuck in me, as I was writing, I felt God was telling me, don't focus on the impossible (feed 100), focus on the possible (feed 1). when I focused on the impossible, nothing will ever happen but if I focused on the 1, the 1 will lead to 2 and so on and so forth, the 100th will be reached. I asked myself what i thought was impossible, and the answer came, it was my PARENTS" SALVATION. So I left it at there, meanwhile, I HAD NOT bought any tickets and the dinner is this weekend. Pastor Tony had someone giving him a table to fill up. Yesterday he asked me to bring my parents there, it was like God intervening my indecisiveness. 2 reasons why I was so wishy washy.

#1 I didn't want to be disappointed if my parents did not accept Christ,
#2 this weekend is the worship seminar, it would be hectic and tiring for me so I didn't want to be inconvenienced.

But yesterday after I took up the offer, called my parents to confirm the dinner, I felt the quotewhich I saw the day before at the bakery was God's message for me. Now I truly understand the message, FOcus on the possible. The possible is, NOthing is impossible with God. If I look to him, have faith and pray, God will make it happen. Start with what is Possible, start with God, start with prayer and start with faith. The fact that they are going is the positive first step, may God sow and shower upon my parents.

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 ...

God leads us along

I attended a memorial service of Pastor Derek Tan, Former President of TCA, the bible school which I graduated from. It was a night of remembering. The fondest memory I have of him was his sense of humour. Last night, a lecturer of the bible school gave her eulogy, his sense of humour once again surfaced. On his hospital bed, he asked his fellow colleague to bring him some good food. When asked what he would like to eat, he asked for sharks' fins. Food and humour. As I sat where I was listening to the eulogies, I asked myself, what a person be most remembered for? For Pastor Derek Tan, he will always be remembered for his kindness and graciousness, beyond all that he has accomplished, a man like him will always be remembered by how he has treated others. No hint of ranks lurks each time I sit in his room after a semester ends to discuss which courses I should be taking for the next semester. He would talk to me like how would talk to a friend. I will always remember his reassuring ...

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. ...
