When God ran (2012)

God is wonderful and marvelous. He has also been the subject of ridicule of many. I dont know what they are thinking, or whether they know exactly the consequences of their behaviour.

All I know is, God is gracious, and forgiving, He loves me, and has pulled me back to him..

As a teacher, I often have to think ahead, and start preparing for next year, i.e. 2012. And yes, I have thought of my theme song.

I hope this song touches your heart as it did to my. I did not do the animation, its done by one of God's beloved talented child.


Before I end, this is a short story i heard from a sermon.

In a church, a pastor was preaching. He stopped halfway when he saw an old man walking in. The pastor invited this old man to say a few words.

"Many years ago," the old man started, "a father, a son and his son's friend went on a fishing trip. They were caught in a storm, the boat capsized, and his son and friend fell into the sea. With only one lifeline, the father had to make a painful decision. He knows his son is saved, but his friend was not. He shouted to his son "I love you" but threw the lifeline to his friend, and watched his own son drowned. This is the Heavenly Father's love for you. He sacrificed His own Son so that you may be saved, catch the lifeline tonight." After speaking, the old man sat down.

After the service, a group of teens went up to the old man and said, "We don't believe your story, no father would do that."

The old man calmly said, "I knew you would say that. Well, I am that father, and the pastor is my son's friend..."

Will you catch that lifeline from Heaven?

Ingrate-fool

Yes, I find myself being a fool, an ungrateful one..

Nonetheless, I thank God for His timely reminder through conversations with my discipler.. We were suppose to have a simple discussion on the song I just wrote (Martyrs' Song), turned out to be a meaningful, thanksgiving, prayer session.

God is good, always.

I cant promise you any rewards, but I know you can collect them from God Himself..

Woody and Buzz

Having a real soulmate is hard to find... And I am just truly thankful to God for having a friend who is as honest as me, and trust me enough to share. And I can also share my deepest hurts, darkest secrets and still be loved for who I am.

Yes, to some extent, my life sucks in many ways. I am just really grateful to God for the little pieces of Heaven He has allowed me to find here on earth. My nieces, nephews and children's smiles, time with family, finally, a real, true life friend that I can really lean on.

Yes, we are different in many ways, God made us special and unique. Our awkward misfits, gel together nicely.

For there are nights when I feel lonely, i know i have someone i can call (or text), and she would be at the other end of the line. vice versa.

Though she kept insisting that i taught her much, she didnt know how much I have learnt from her, especially when it comes to appreciating my elder sister. So much more that currently, my brain cannot process.. RAM is shrinking, but you get the idea...

It's weird how this friendship started. It started from my testimony. and i know for so many million times, i have been hurt through my frankness, and honesty, till i got so much regret. This is the only thing I have no regretted because it gained me my "Woody".

Life's blessed not because the road is easy to travel, but
it's blessed because I have someone to travel with =)

2011 Kindergarten Concert

I am thankful to God for seeing me through, the process of script writing, the whole concept of the play, and then to bear through the pain of seeing it being changed to another concept.

Thank God it's over, parents are happy, children are happy. I am just glad its over..

thank God for the many helping hands..

Blessed 21st

It was 7 years ago, when I celebrated my own 21st. I was surrounded with buffet, mindless chattering, and seriously nothing spiritual.

I thank God for the opportunity to work together with Rachel's mum to plan for her party. It ended later than expected, but I am still very happy that it went so well.

Thank God for Jaime and Jasmine for putting up those really nice and sweet decorations around the house.

Thank God for allowing me to prank Rachel twice.. Hee hee... I think have to wait awhile more for the video, and the song I wrote for her..

Thank God for the wisdom to pen the lyrics with the initials that says "Happy Twenty First Rach"

Thank God for moving hearts to contribute to mega voices to be sent to Thailand =)

Thank God the party is a success and the birthday girl, quoting her text to me "smiling myself silly" haha...

Thank God i still survived after the whole day crawling, rolling, climbing and shuffling with the children..

God is good =)

This week I felt really blessed. I know the previous weeks were torturous, or even before that, but God's always there. When I got the results back from my Human Growth and Development, I was leaping for joy! It was a paper that I expected to have done badly for, i never expected that the teacher actually understood what I was writing because I dont even understand what i was writing about!

And God has been faithful in listening to my prayers for my niece, Hanna. She did well for her math paper, thats the only result i knew so far, but still thank God.

Today before I left work, something spoilt my mood. But i guess that was just a listen to mind my own business. Sometimes, others dont appreciate my concern or voice, i just shouldnt say right..

Anyway, God is marvelous, and He always is my Shepherd.

Broke

Seems to be a funny topic for thanksgiving..

But I am just thankful to God that even though I am seriously eating into my savings again, coz of 2 medical trips.. I can still tithe!! =)

I love you my Abba Father, a bit less than how You love me, still, I try my best.

Occupations

I am really happy and grateful to God for calling me to be a teacher.

Coz in one single moment, I can be a singer, dancer, and aerobic instructor, and have so much audiences who enjoyed themselves.

Today, i whipped out my phone, plugged it into the music room's high-fi system, blast the speakers with different music where the children and I danced our minds away.

When i asked the children what they want to be when they grow up, some told me singers, doctors, dentist, etc. But what struck me the most, is when some children replied, "I want to be a teacher!"

That really brightens up my day.

Thank You Lord for all these wonderful children who confirms the calling You have for me...
