船到桥头自然直

“Your Word is a light to my feet and a lamp to my path.” God's Word does not illuminate your whole future before you exactly and in all the details. But His Word will definitely guide the step before me and the path before me.

His Word, just like His grace is sufficient for today, is enough for the step and the path before me. Many times I worry ahead of time, and I fall out of His grace. I often need to be reminded that God’s grace is sufficient for me moment by moment I need it.

As I pray and ponder over my future step, many worries and concerns often cloud my thinking. With all these worries harassing me, I cannot think with clarity. I need the wisdom of God to get out of these confusions. And I need the promise of God to assure me that He will not lead me where His grace cannot keep me.

船到桥头自然直。Perhaps this is the Chinese understanding of God's grace. God may or may not remove all the obstacles ahead of us before we meet with it. He has no need to deliver us out of danger before we meet with it. As a Chinese, perhaps I just need to understand 船到桥头自然直. As a Christian, I need to believe that God's grace will be there when I need it. And I need to know that worrying only cause me to doubt God's grace for me. So stop worrying LiJie...

Trust, Love and Dance!

There are a lot of nice movies that makes lots of sense..

"When a love needs proof, there is no trust. And when there is no trust, there is no love." (From the movie, The Butterfly.)

I won't say that I have some great truth to apply from this, just thought that it makes a lot of sense...

Trust and Love. Have thought about it before... Its difficult to trust others to love you, difficult to trust that they really do love you. Because human always demands others to love us the way we want them to. And essentially, people always love self more than others. Isnt it true? Can I really trust anyone to love me? I don't know. God, you need to help me.

"In dance, man always takes the lead. And the woman follows. The man does not dominate with his strength, rather he invites you (the woman) to join him in his steps. There is as much strength needed in following, as in leading." (From the movie, Take The Lead)

Wonderful show about dancing.. Makes me wonder if I should learn ballroom dancing! heehee.. So biblical.. beginning to think that relationship, is like dancing Waltz. The man lead, the woman follows. There will be time when the woman dances better, then she needs to help the man to find his steps. The woman needs to trust the man in leading, otherwise there will be no following. Every dance is a journey that the man bring the woman on. The two shall become one in the dance.

I'm going show it to my girls and help them learn about biblical relating with guys.. =)

Doreal's Bday!!

In celebration of Doreal's birthday, we went to a Jap restaurant for dinner. Thank Doreal for her generous heart for treating us all.

In return, there is really nothing muz that I can give her, (I don't think she expects any as well)but I think this beautiful cake that I chose can lift up her spirit.. I really love this cake! I am so happy to have found this cake! And it taste great as well!

Strawberry Cheese Cake. See how loaded with strawberry this cake is! I don't know about the rest, oh but I love it!

I think Doreal looks nice in this picture.. Beautiful smile, beautiful cake. Doreal, may all your days be filled with beautiful smiles.. because the Lord our God is with us wherever we are..




After our dinner, we walked a long way to get to TCC. Well, I think none of us had coffee even though its a coffee place. Anyway, some of us were falling asleep there.. At about 12mid-nite, we decided to call it a day and go home..

It was a fun time just relaxing with the girls.. Not much opportunity to do that... Mayb next time, I can organize one, have steamboat at tjunction! haha =)

SALT retreat

Been a few days since I came back from SALT retreat, I thought I wanna share 1 encouraging thing.

We had a time of prayer for the SALTees as part of the graduation program. Each SALTee is to be sitted in the center of the circle and those who felt led will pray for him/her. I enjoyed the time of prayer so much! I sensed that the teens enjoyed the time of prayer too..

Each one was just praying for one another so freely, so openly, so lovingly I must say. There were thanksgiving for one another's contributions, gifts, and just how God had created them. There were prayer of blessings for one another in their school, family and life. Even Char who was not "supposed" to be in SALT was included in the prayer fellowship and was greatly encouraged.. there is unity in prayer. The laborers should also really learn from them! =)

For those that I didnt open my mouth to pray for you, I was quietly praying in my heart for each one. There just does not seem to have enough time for each one to pray. For Vincent, I prayed for you that you would come to trust in the Lord for the timing in your life. For Samuel, I prayed that you would find delight in the presence of the Lord. For Yunzhen, I prayed for you to know that you are beautiful to God. For Gordon, I prayed for you to seek first the kindgom of God and His righteousness. I wonder if I have left out anyone, but those whom I left out, I know God carries you dearly in His arms..


See how they play. I think this must have been 330am in the morning.. Aiyo, Joel so tired alrdy but they still dont care and play beside him! haha!



I think they say this is a family protrait or something..


And this is part of the class of SALT II, 2007 =)

Salvation issue

Feeling a little sick.. Thankfully is under control..

Met up with Pastor John yesterday.. Had an interesting time talking to him, listening to him. Then one thing he mentioned aboutmy family really got stucked into my head. He sensed that my parents are very open to the gospel!! How exciting! But.. I m not the right person to share with them... What Pastor sensed is that, my parents still treats me like a little girl and therefore what I share will not hold any weight to them. (Well, I often feel this way about my parents too. At least my dad will always looked at me like a little girl who dunno any better. Maybe I really dunno.. I also dunno) Anyway, since I am nt the right person to share, my role is really to pray! And I will be faithful in praying for them

I believe my prayers will bring salvation to my parents' life. I believe God will honor my prayers. Anyone of you, who have a heart for me and my parents, do pray along with me.. I really believe that God will bring the right person into there life to share. Yet Pastor reminded me to still seized any opportunity to share..

Backache

Having a backache now.. I wonder why.. So uncomfortable sitting down.. I think lying down could be better..

Its already August.. Its not until Suyin reminded me that I realised there's only 120 more days before the year is going to be over.. What have I accomplished this year? Work wise, I guess I am very much a follower, following my leaders to where they say.. Christ Church, St Hilda's, blah blah blah.. Well, have I done much at work, I believe so.. Yet the nature of the work is such that you may have done alot, but no visible fruits. Or you may have done little, but it just bear fruits.. Another mystery in life, the timing for fruits to be ripe...

I believe prayers brings about fruit-bearing.. I got to pray more.. and work less.. haha!
