Kaboom + Durians/Liew Lian Season is here!

Today at Kaboom Worship with the children, It was one of those sundays where sharing the lesson, I didn't really bring out the essence of what I wanted to, and their activity became a little hard to associate with the lesson. A reminder yet again about conducting any lesson for children. PREPARATION!

The thoughts that have been with me since some time ago came back again.
we wanna make their time at the kaboom worship worthwhile, to grow in their relationship with GOD.

It's a week after week affair to give our best for the Lord and his people, the children, and not grow weary for our strength, if in him we will be renewed with HIM. Praise the Lord for that(:

After Choir that afternoon, Phebe brought out a durian cake to relish. YumYum, the durian season!
-Durain Cake!-

During the whole ordeal, there was talk about going to have MORE durian. And off we set off to Toa Payoh Lorong 7 to the durian stall.

I know why 3 durians cost 20 dollars, the size of the seed with aound of flesh on it spoke for it self.


Think there's something in the fruit. We had a good laugh as I began to laugh in joy. The taste of the durian in a long while and eating by the stall with church mates is quite a fellowship.
Durians- another way to get 'high'

-From Top-left,clockwise: Phebe, Shadrach, Yao, Eoin-

While eating it, had this thought that whizzed in my mind.
Sometimes we are like durians, thorny, hard to open, but GOd doesn't give up, he keeps trying to open it, for he knows of the good fruit that is waiting in there.
Am sure others can form another analogy form another point of view.

Hope everyone walks this week with courage, Love and strength. Assignments and school,tests even work does use lots of it.

Take care & GOd blesss my friends(:

GOOOD

As a wise saying goes from Aunty Kwai Theng[thank you for the tip&reminders!Especially through her children's fine example(:]:
Xian ku Hou Tian
Which means directly as bitter 1st then comes te sweet.
So actauly insteead of putting it off, why not just get it done?

The week that ended 12th July 2008
The weekend was filled with a whole day conference with mindchamps Pre-sch..passing quite fast, with a refresher onto what I have been taught before. Gotta take out the documents to relook and apply it into my life. Taking the bus to church and walking over from toa payoh, looking over the sky saw the sun peering behind the buildings just about to set.
From the rising of the sun to it's going down Let's praise his name(:

Keen Hoe Keen Hoe our dear brother had to eat a plate filled with mee siam,some salad that topped offed with mayonise & 2 limes & drops of apple juice
NDP 2008, wow, just love it when the planes do their formation & Manage to catch the glimpse and shot in the process. recollecting the times when tickets were so available for my family to go watch[thanks to a quite high ranking army uncle of mine] & the time where P.5s go for their annual National Education Show.
Singning your national anthem like never so loud before, squeezing, getting squash, the goody bags,one of those late nights back form school, claiming to see a black snake swimming in the canal on the way back.
Those were just a few of the times that i remember as I grew up. wow wasn't that a remenisce.

Indeed HE, our creator is Good ALL the time. Though in times of trouble, He is near, not far.
When you don't understand, He shows us what's happening, uncovering our eyes.
Embrace HIm

Take Care my Friends(:

Tuesdays

It's already tuesday...waking up with a red or a.k.a sore eye didn't help, but went to work, somehow got over it.
Getting to know my childrenbetter
Remembered speaking with Eoin[ a mentor of mine] about the song "Days of Elijah". linking to Something about children, even myself not rooted in OLd testement.
So i decided to search for the passage on the 'dry bones becoming as flesh'

Ezekiel 37
Wow, so that was what happened. A new dawning for Israel. Amen to that

Days Of Elijah

These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord:
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
'Prepare ye the way of the Lord!'

Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call;
Lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.

These are the days of Ezekiel, The dry bones becoming as flesh; And these are the days of Your servant David, Rebuilding a temple of praise. These are the days of the harvest, The fields are as white in Your world, And we are the labourers in Your vineyard, Declaring the word of the Lord!


Got sent back home a little earlier than usual, cos of the concern that sore eyes si CONTAGIOUS! which silly me didn't think was that severe, thought I would just isolate myself from children and get on doing my tasks in an isolated room. Turns out to be more serious than usual, so at the Polyclinic, It's quite a long wait, the whole thing took 1 1/2 hours. Wowww, but with he bible and then thinking of things kept me occupied for a while.

Reading to find where is our dear friend Elijah in the song also recollecting about my experience at ENRICHMENT WEEK, with Elijah blessing Elisha a double portion of blessing before ascending to heaven in a chariot of fire.

searching for it searching for it, found it in 1 Kings 18 onwards, about that amazing story of fire coming down from heaven to take the sacrifice that Elijah has placed, while worshippers of Baal were trying so hard to get a stationary object to receive the sacrifice.

Was given a bottle of 'artificial tears' and Anti-histemine to stop itching[which also makes you VERY sleepy] and rest at home

Hope everyone weeks' is going great, there wil certainly be not so great days, but keep drawing close to HIM(:
