A note from Cailin... please keep the student at University of Texas in prayer, where Uncle Richard's sons are at, supposedly gunmen are in their compound at the moment:S
Hearing my parents really concerned for their nephew & family, while I do my part as cousin. Please be praying for my cousin brother Joseph seem to undergoing quite a challenging phase right now, having baptised and dedicated himself to God's Lordship, has objections from his father. The disagreements are starting to spew out of control revolving around this disagreement, peace and calm parties to resolve it amicably.
I suddenly had an urge to do a google search on the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation(GIC), then went over to Temasek Holdings just to see what's it like on taking place through their webpages. Wow, the big-ness of the names I see on each page with full credentials, internalising why they are hired to be there, and the amounts each organisation handles each year.
Thought the current organisation that I'm working with was quite big - this was BIGGER made me feel small, really tiny for such a big man, literally.
It reminded me of the smallness picturing lightning& blasting thunder I heared on a few ocassions in rainy storms, with 1 just happening last wednesday. Perhaps the call for global warming is ever louder, and the anger filled in the storm. Watching the flashes & deafening sounds of the thunder, the power contained in each bolt that will not hesitate to strike a sinful man like me.
I am gonna begin a journey of teaching our young ones, mulling over my decisions between Early Childhood or the Primary track. Or decisions over in my life as come to know of good/not so good news. Asking myself the very real question, "what do you want to do?" and Higher, "Lord where do you want to place me?"
To witness his Big-ness from my BIG man, was just humbling. I have to come before Him, to lay at HIS feet. Do you want too?
Pardon for the poor chinese. It should mean in every household, each has their own difficulties. I'm observing it in most families that I come across, the tinge of 'dysfunctional'/imperfection that makes this family unit characteristically unique,knitted&perfected in some way.
like how we are put under the umbrella of God our heavenly Father embracing us & remembering Jesus as our Saviour & seeking direction from the Holy Spirit.
In imperfection, I seek HIS hand to strengthen us(:
The Lord gives and takes away,but my heart will choose to declare Blessed be the name of the Lord..
Perhaps I was singing it at different occurances of the today&yesterday, the line from one of the vacation Bible school(VBS) songs this year, its flowed back in my mind earlier. "Today is the day, you have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it and I won't worry about tomrrow, I'm trusting in what you say, Today is the day."
Indeed Lord's promises as we gaze upon Him. gonna take a lots of faith-ing this week to declare that instead of just a comforting sounding song.
1 I will give thanks with all my heart; I will sing praises to you before the gods. 2 I will bow down toward your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnifies Your word according to all Your name. 3 On the day I called, You answered me; You made bold with strength in my soul. 4 All the kings of the earth wil give thanks to You, O Lord, When they have heared the words of Your mouth. 5 And they will sing of the ways of the Lord, For great is the glory of the Lord. 6 For though the lord is exalted, Yet He regards the Lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar. 7 Though I walk in te midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will strectch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. 8 The lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Perhaps its the time of age that adults reaching their 50s get a little grouchy, or its just that the events happening are taking a toll on their inner spiritual composure and adding to it an extremely irritating son like me, who tends to be rash talking to them, asking whys whys and more whys, welcoming a debate.
So stop....pause(just for a split second) AND Honour my father and mother.
that's the thought heavy on my mind this week that i got directed to during dinner with my dear friend,Farhana from the polytechnic, currently at the one the childcare centres being forefront of advocating best practices for our children.
Peparing to begin my sponsorship bond on top of preparing for Kaboom,Vacation Bible School(VBS), tidy up my every messy room.
What do I want to achieve out of this experience?
Retreat for HIM to speak to me this week as He lead my way(:
