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(:

Mondays

Remebered, It was Chronicles of Narnia-The lion, the witch & the wardrobe on sunday night!
beautiful movie, though the times i watched it was on a dvd...
as the lion walks to the stone, the humiliation that he suffers, his giving his life because of what the boy did in a moment of rashness,the lion rising again,
reminds me of how Christ had to suffer before he laid his life even though he was blameless to begin with(:
The music simply moves, mannn, beautiful.

Today as I took the train to work, I thought I saw this person boarding the train at Buona vista, Looked simply like the chef on Hell's Kitchen, Gordan Ramsay. To add to the realness was his first comment, "packed like sardines yea?"...
Figuring here and there, everyone was like oblivious(it's extremely quiet in the train, with at least 30% of people sleeping) then I was like," oh well, then let it be." and 'Gordan Ramsay' left the train at Raffles place.

Realised after such a time(better late than never) that praying s such a easy thing to lose focus. doing so walking to the MRT station, halfway through my mind starts wondering off. Isnt' it easy to just fall away sometimes.

The old testement is such a rich text of God's providence with the land, and watching His people, falling away, GOd sends a foreign army to teach them a lesson & He still saves them in the end.

Thank GOd for the laminator, it's being sent for repair, phew....

GIve thanks for the beautiful days that we wake up daily to!(:

Ahead with the week

On saturday, there was a workshop conducted mainly for the young people who are serving in worship, from worship leader, to scripture I/C, to Lord's Supper i/cs, that to recognise themselves not as separate entities, but everyone working together to flow the whole worship for the congregation.
We are just mirrors that GOd use to reflect his Glory and prescene, we come to worship not to get something out of it, but to give our all to GOd. Coming unready means being like a cracked mirror, which only distracts instead of serving it's orginal purpose.
we gather together because of looking at 1st century churches, where persecution was rampant, that they gather together for strength & unity. Learning form that, people gather at church for such a purpose too.
I hope from here, as the youths better understand why we do the different things in worship, they lead the congregation with zeal & expression of their love for HIM.
-Strawberries Galore!-
The secret ingredient in making cheesecake. I wonder where mothers get their energy. She works, cleans, & cooks, and even bakes!. It is mentioned that daugthers help out mms more(from a dicussion with a friend)
guys, et's not follow that suit(:
Hope everyone have a blessed week ahead, gonna need HIM all the time, as i con't to work, labour on for HIM with the children.
May this week be yet another week we give thanks to HIM(:

Friday!

Thinking of Thailand..the children doing well in school, Mae & Phor of where i stayed,a.k.a mother & father who graciously hosted us for 9 days is doing well, there's work to be done i the land(:
P.S: thanks P.bee for this picture(:

Friday Friday Friday


Being a little taller than most people, i have to read on into another person's obok, tlaking about worship, someone seeing the quote from Mother Teresa
-Yesterday is past, Tomorrow has yet to come. You only have Today, use it well-
something along that line to tell met not procrastinate but do it.

Reflecting on Ezekiel, [think of the song these are the days of Elijah, where the 'dry bones becoming as flesh' which I am still finding] &Reading of a brother's thanksgiving of Isiah 53..
Reading his Word lifted me(:

I sometimes wonder how do I take soooo long to complete one task, it doesn't seem that long to take, but it is time consuming. Thank God the thing is completed, was tasked to make a collage for the GM who was speaking at the pre-school's meeting on friday evening. There will be a birthday celebration for June babies, followed by a surprise for him, with song(which he thought the 1st one was over until the trolley with his wife hidden under it came in, He was glad 7 telling us about not having such a unique celebration for him for a long long time)...
His sharing was very inspiring&hellpful personally, not just to excel as a professional in the organisation, but personally. There's the will& can chart, where you can divided people into 4 types,
(1) the will & can, (2) the will not & can (3) the will but cannot & (4) will not & cannot
-where are you in?-

Well, me and my butter fingers, lost a piece of laminating paper into the machine, it's kinda out of order, I hope to fix in when i come in monday, before creating the inconvenience out of everyone.

Give thanks to the Lord who gives me strength & grace(:
Something to wine down the week with(:

Mid Week arrival

Thank you P.bee for the photo...
What a week it has been & in a flash, its' Wednesday! A time to meet P.bee for dinner, to catch up, claiming that i'm uncle, trying to be in the air-con environment all the time & when we return outside, it's smoke at every corner.
It's has been really a challenging week, as I remember what speaker shared at camp about more ocncerned about what we do with our lives when we returned after camp. Those are just 3 days where you discover or rediscover about something, it's the aftermath of the camps or courses that you that speaks more of how did you respond when GOD spoke to you in various ways.

Beginning to read his word on the train, spending that hour with HIM makes it the difference in aim to practise the presene of GOd & from there to Do God's work NOT hear of it only
P.S: What has He been speaking to you about?
GOD BLess you as you carry out daily with HIm(:
