Blessed

just came back from a leaders' retreat and i've been so extremely blessed by it! it was really 2 days of anointed and impactful sharings...not forgetting fun times of fellowship and bonding...i especially loved the lunch times because of the person we sat with! it's better than striking lottery haha...

indeed we are coming into our season...God is bringing us to another whole new level...the camp has really left me refreshed, recharged, and ready for 2010...i still feel so spiritually full and overflowing with abundance from the anointing i received from the camp...it just feels so so so good...

furthermore, i've been blessed by a leader today with pastor's new book!

i'm living in exciting times! i loooooveeeee my Jesus :)

Powerful

"Praise the Lord! You know, many people say that 2nd generation Christians are lukewarm, but you. are. not."

Amen!

Exciting Times

PTM is over woohoo!!! and I'm one day away to school holidays...like...finally! =D

I really thank God that everything went well for PTM...and not only did it go well...He made me come out victorious, gaining much favour from the parents...before the PTM, i was just so stressed out and fearful...mainly just because of one parent...and i was so surprised that the parent did not give me a hard time at all...i know and i know and i KNOW that it is definitely God's wisdom and favour upon me...when i speak to the parents, it's not me speaking but it's Him speaking through me...placing the right words in my mouth...He has given me a sharp and perceptive eye to see different things about each child...He has given me the love to embrace each child as an unique individual...definitely none of me and all of Him - the beautiful Jesus =)

besides this, many changes are taking place in various areas of my life, mainly work and serving...and these are totally EXCITING changes...opportunities to greater challenge and greater things to come...these changes have sparked sth in me...i was dreading the next year but now i'm excited and looking forward to 2010...i know it's gonna be a new beginning with even more of His favour and grace!

for now...i'm looking forward to enjoying the holidays!

Peace

yesterday's cg break-out session was so powerful...it definitely struck a chord...i knew sth just dropped in my heart when the peace just flooded me...

the question posed was:
what are you expecting God to fulfill in the remaining 2 months of 2009?

these were the 3 main things that came to my mind:


1. great favour with my children's parents especially with the parent-teacher meeting (PTM) coming up in less than 2 weeks...

the thought of PTM just kind of scares me and it's been haunting me for the past few months ever since that 'brush' with a few of the parents...i know very well that it's a fear which has made me lose my peace...problem is...i just couldn't psyche myself to get out of that fear no matter how i 'encouraged' myself...

however, when Lenise was just praying for us and when we were just worshipping the Lord, i just felt a great peace...it was just so... ... ...so peaceful...an indescribable peace...somehow i knew things will turn out right...especially when Lenise mentioned that at the end of the year, when 10 of us in that group gather again, we'll just rejoice for what the Lord has done for us...

i just felt Daddy saying that it will turn out right...the PTM will not be about me...i won't be the one speaking...He will speak through me and He will put the right words in my mouth...i will just gain so much favour with the parents... 


2. cancellation of my tuition loans (both diploma and degree)

definitely i have the means to pay the amount required every month but paying the tuition loans is making me live with very little left over every month...there is no way that i can save at all...

i believe this cancellation of debts will be done and i'll start living in abundance, Amen :)

3. to be revived with more enthusiasm and passion for life and for work

ever since i started working 4 months ago, i've been feeling so dead and so sian all the time...the life that i felt in my studying days just vanished...i dun want to continue living this way cos there would be no point! i dun wanna live like a zombie everyday...

i believe Daddy has his means of injecting life in me cos He came to give life and life more abundantly :)

indeed, 2009 is a dektos year - a year of free favours! and 2009 has not ended yet :)

Field Trip

Just brought my kids on a field trip to HortPark on Friday. It was super super super tiring and hot! However, it was pretty fun and I also learnt new facts from the guided tour. Furthermore, it was my first time organizing and bringing children out on a field trip so it was quite a good learning experience. Here are a few things I learnt:

1. Always bring along extra pants, plastic bags, tissue paper, plasters, and antiseptic spray.
2. Always plan to set off early and come back 15 minutes before dismissal time.

and...

3. Never ever go so far away for a field trip!!! -_-

Life's Lessons

entering the last week of the school term and finally a one week break! well...everything was going well...then it was going ok...sometimes it was good...sometimes relaxing...sometimes fun...sometimes funny...and then sometimes it got stale...sometimes boring...sometimes tiring...and sometimes a real headache...and today...it was pretty ultimate...pretty much spoiled a good school term...so anyway...just a few things i learnt from working so far...

1. one negative feedback/comment can wipe out the 1000s of postive feedback/comment

Solution: 
  • learning and trying to look at the positive side of things
  • looking unto Jesus for strength and perseverance and a positive mindset
2. adults are the ones who cause more trouble than the kids

Solution:
  • trrrrrrrrrrrrrrry as haaaaaaaaaaard as i caaaaaaaaaaaaaaan to see from the perspective of those adults...which is extremely hard when i'm at the receiving end of the 'trouble'
  • looking unto Jesus for wisdom to deal with them and abundance of favour with them...to have such a super very glib tongue to honey and butter them up
3. if work ever ends it won't be called 'work'

Solution:
  • always plan and start in advance
  • looking unto Jesus for wisdom in time management and managing workload...learning to constantly rest in Him and not worry about tml's tml's tml work...just do what i can do at the moment
4. it is in such troubling times that you need someone to be there by your side...someone who can really hear you out and lift you up...but no friend can be there for you 24 hours

Solution:
  • just look unto Jesus...spend time with Him...talk to Him...complain to Him...tell Him everything that you need to...just rest in Him...this is the only solution
definitely i've been favoured these 2 months...not just favoured, but greatly favoured...good boss, good colleagues, good partner...but i've gotta be stronger than this...

The Future

just ended one week of work ! after one month plus of 'holiday' after school ended, i was finally blessed with this job at kinderland...now i'm officially a full-time kindergarten teacher contributing to society hoho...it's exciting but scary at the same time cos the future ahead of me still seems blurry and vague...work is really so different from studying...working saps up much more physical energy and strength from me...everytime after work i just feel like a zombie totally stoned and spaced out...knocked out even before the clock strikes 10pm! makes me appreciate studying so much more! haha well...now i'm really still lost and taking baby steps...it's really one step at a time and depending much on God's grace and goodness...also makes me learn to rest in my Daddy God so much more...

anyway, although i just ended only one week of work, it's holidays already! haha cos it's school holidays...so i guess i better cherish the free time during this one month of break...soon it'll be a mad rush of doing up materials and lesson plans etc etc...but i really love the kids...they are sooooooooooo adorable and cute =)


yeps yeps...anyway i'm also starting on tuition on monday...praying that everything goes on smoothly...


thank you Daddy that You grant me wisdom in whatever i do. You will speak through me on things that i duno how to answer for. You grant me the strength, patience, and determination to deal with challenges and obstacles that come my way. You grant me favour with my bosses, colleagues, children, parents, and everyone whom i'll come in contact with. You multiply my time that i'll have more than enough time to complete my work, attend church, serve in your ministry, have fun, and also get enough rest. You bless me in every aspect of my life - career, family, social relationships, health, financial, emotional etc etc. You prosper me and give me my portion Lord. in Jesus' name i pray, Amen!

Snippets

Some hilarious things in life just have to be recorded down before they are forgotten! Jerome, my coming-to-4-years-old nephew is the source of these funny comments hahah!

Jerome: Where are we?

Me: In Hougang.

Jerome: No! We are in the car.

Scene 2: Jerome debating with us over whose house is bigger and better...

Jerome: Your house got no lift!

Us: Our house got staircase!

Jerome: My house got staircase and lift!

Us: We have staircase INSIDE the house!

Jerome: Staircase makes the house smaller!

Us: Our house has THREE toilets! Your house only has TWO!

(silence)

Jerome: My house got SIX floors!!!
(he lives on the 6th floor)

My 2008

on the previous caregroup (CG) which was the last CG of the year 2008, jolene asked all of us to think back on our year and share with the rest how the year has been for us...so here goes...

i remember that Pastor Prince said that last year (2007) was a year of new beginnings...but i think my year is lagging haha! becos this year (2008) has pretty much been a year of new beginnings for me...
 
the start of 2008 was nothing much (or maybe i just can't remember)...it was just normal...not that good...then it all started in june!

 
1. Boston study trip
 
This 5-week trip in June to July has really been a great tremendous blessing to me...i'm the kind who never really had much opportunities to travel or go on many holidays with my family...i dun have the privilege of going overseas every year like many other families...the only countries i've been to is like malaysia and thailand...and sentosa?
 
hahaha yeah...so i've always wanted to go further...and this year is the year where my prayer came true...and it's so unbelievable becos it's the US! i mean...it's like...at the other side of the world...it's like...faaaaaaaaaaaar faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from Singapore...somemore at a heavily subsidised rate (by the school) haha! to me...it was really an over-blessing cos it's like SO FAR hahaha...i would be easily satisfied with any other Asia countries...i never thought that i could go to the US in my life haha...
 
yep...it was really an eye-opener and a great experience though there were ups-and-downs...but of cos i really missed the church and the cg during that 5 weeks =) this trip is a new beginning to me...it's the start of my world tour in the future hahaha (AMEN!!!)

 
2. Some personal issues
 
Before i went to Boston, i was still facing some personal issues which i have been facing for some years...but really truly and purely by Daddy's grace and even more grace and even even more abundance of grace...after a few weeks back from Boston...the problem just went *POOF* out of the window...my thoughts were sorted out...my emotions were dealt with...and...i just felt such a peace...it was really an indescribable peace and joy in my heart...like...as if a huge load and obstacle just vanished...
 
this really indicated a totally new beginning in this particular area of my life...to me it felt like a totally new page...a totally new start! =)
 
3. Ministry

i've been serving for about 3 years now in Rock Kids with the 3-years-old darlings...and i have been extremely blessed to be serving in my team becos all of them really rock...i truly enjoy serving and we really have fun together...my team leader also has such an excellent spirit and he has been a tremendous blessing to me (and definitely my teammates too)!
 
just a few months back i was given the opportunity to serve in a different and greater way in the ministry...and...it's really special and it means a lot to me...i believe that i'm stepping up to a greater calling that Daddy has for me...and i can just imagine and envision how i'm gonna sow seeds into the lives of those precious little ones in a greater measure...
 
this indicates a new beginning in my serving...it is really a great privilege to serve my big God...he has never short-changed me even when i could not attend some Sunday services due to serving...he is my double portion =)
 
4. More new beginnings...
 
there has definitely been a new beginning in the building of bonds and relationships in my CG...every week i look forward to attending CG and arrow and church with all of those precious ones! few months ago, we even started to have weekly dinners hunting for food all around Singapore and those days really perk up my dull week =)

if u don't know yet...i'm moving house to Hougang in December! new house...new place...new environment...new surroundings...new buses to take...new experiences...it's definitely a new beginning...
 
financially...i have survived the $1-in-the-bank days...i'm often stuck in that situation haha but i'm glad that i'm slightly more financially sufficient now...this is a new beginning...the indication that my finances are rolling in soon haha! (AMEN!!!) 
 
2009 will be filled with even more new beginnings...new beginning of the last semester of my degree course in January...and new beginning of my working life after graduation in June...
 
2008 has been a great year...superb superb year for me...almost everyday i just feel such peace and joy...i often think to myself that i've never felt happier to be where i am today...being blessed with great friends and family members...being moulded, shaped, and made excellent by my Daddy God in every area of my life...to have experienced so much favour and grace with people around me...to be loved and romanced by my Jesus =)

Nostalgia

just had a slight wave of nostalgia hit me for the past few days as i was looking through old stuff and photos and all...yeah it happens! very normal to feel nostalgic once in a blue moon...

yeah...just got reminded of secondary school days...how we girls like to pretend we're one "family" giving each other pretend status like "lao gong" and "er zi"...how we crapped and had so much fun talking about juvenile stuff haha!

now we dun do that anymore...we've all moved on to the next phase in our lives (be it working or studying)...

but i'm glad we still meet each other quite a few times in a year to celebrate each other's birthdays =)

just remembered the feeling of first love at 16...all the mushy mushy feelings and sweet-nothings...the "electric shocks", the SMS-es, the letters, the gifts...the dates...all that daydreams...and the typical girly first love excitement and happiness...

of cos we've both grown up and matured...we're also moving on to fulfill other dreams in our lives...

but i'm totally grateful that i'm completely over it and still enjoy and totally love life =)

just recalled the initial years of serving 2 to 3 years ago...how friendships were formed with the LKK girls like liya, vel-vel, and qiguaijiejie...how we formed bonds with becky, huixian, and others who joined later...how we loved to share lame jokes and ridiculous "riddles" with each other...how we supported each other (and laughed at each other) during praise and worship, bible story, holy communion, and games time...how we go ga-ga over the adorable kids...how we enjoyed the past ASGs...how the team bonded so strongly over the years...

now all of us have really grown and matured in the Lord...and we're all stepping up to the greater calling that Daddy has planned for each of us...

but i'm happy that we can still see each other often in church and we're all still in the same family of God - ever blessed, ever righteous, ever favoured and loved =)

occasional nostalgia is inevitable...but i love where i am now...it's not just happiness...it's an indescribable peace and joy i never felt last time...this is where Daddy wants me to be...i see a bright future ahead of me...greater things planned for me...there's definitely more to come and i'm excited! =)

Queen of Lame Jokes

haha i just had a passing thought...

i think jokes are a really good way of connecting and bonding with pple - both frens and strangers...it brings laughter and fun to a nothing-to-say situation...


famously known as queen of lame jokes, i think one day i should pen down and compile all my lame jokes into a book or sth...lest i forget :P

heh.

New Job

wow one month has passed so quickly and yeps! my employment with the childcare centre just ended today...indeed Daddy has been faithful and i have truly enjoyed my time at the centre although there were many "bumps" for just a short one month of work...

i'm sooooooooooooo gonna miss the kids...they're just the sweetest...saying that they'll miss me...giving me their favourite things...giving me big huuugggsss...and making cards for me...i guess that's the difference between working with children and working with adults...the connection is definitely different...i duno how to explain but it's just different...kids can really give u a headache but at the end of the day u'll reeeeaaaally miss them cos there's such a strong bonding...dun think i should put up their pics here but i'll definitely upload on multiply for my contacts =)

haha but it's quite funny...the kids asked for my number and address and i gave it to them...and today alone within the past 8 hours i have received more than 10 calls from them hahaha! and they call me for no particular reasons haha...a few called me saying they miss me...one called me to tell me what she has at home...one called me to asked about homework (!!!)...and some called me a few times reporting to me what they are doing (i.e. eating, watching tv, sleeping
) hahaha..i duno to be happy and amused by their conversations or to be bothered cos i feel like i'm being stalked hahah!

anyways...i've found a new job and i'm starting work next mon...as research operations assistant haha! sounds chim but it's not that chim la haha...the company does market surveys regarding customer satisfaction and analyzes them to come up with detailed reports for various companies/industries...so my job is mainly just to help out when i'm asked to help haha...it's quite an interesting job and i can't wait to start...it may not be easy but i believe my Daddy will once again bring me through the job smoothly with loads of favour with my colleagues and loads and loads of blessings!

new job. new beginning.

=D
