A Strawberry filled life: September 2005

God never wastes anything

Every painful experiences count, to God. Sometimes i grumbled to God that why does He always allows bad things to happen to me and i felt like a guinea pig, having to be tested in that area before anyone else.

I have learnt to look beyond all those. To me now, every painful experience now is for me to help my brothers and sisters and prevent them from getting hurt the same way. I count it a double blessing to be able to turn my "misfortunes" into blessings for some other people

Isabel confirmed this just now while sharing her testimonies. She thanked me for listening to her situation and i was really surprised, cos it was really nothing. But come to think of it, i went through similar situation a few weeks back and because they're really private issues, i dun wanna talk or rather dunno who i can talk to. i was really very lost.now that everything is over, i told bel that i want to be there for her and anyother sisters so they wont have that 'lost' feeling. i have been there and i can take you through it.

now as i recall, there are so many instances where i felt pain, hurt, but now in turn, i can be a blessing to others! so i wanna encourage you that, if you can look beyond what you are suffering now, and know that God wants you to have a double blessing in this sense, you'll be more encouraged to face your challenges head on! Come what may!!

Congratulations Sister Kless!!!

Sis Kless' baby! It is really a good news to know that sister kless is 3 months pregnant! It's really a beautiful thing to be a mummy and i really believe every woman can only be a real woman when they have a baby! So congrats Sister Kless and Brother Isaiah!!! Double happiness for our cell group!

I love my class!

My adorable students!

Today we celebrated Children's Day earlier as i will be on leave tomorrow! check out the heap of food!!!

God is good!

God is truly amazing...the way He moves...the way He blesses...I can see Him most evidently through the wedding preparation.

He bless us with people who helped us all the way since we have decided to get married a year ago. He bless us with great financial blessings to see us through everything. He bless us with unexpected unkindness from people.

Special thanks to Alvin and Wendy who helped us to come up with our video presentation even in the midst of their really busy schedule. We can't thank them enough! Its really a very great production!

Thank you CJ and Paulyn for getting the rose buds! they know how tired and stress i can get and the rose buds really cheer me up!! cool!

Private

Meaning of Private: intended for or restricted use

Private stuffs are meant to be private. Seriously speaking, i am not comfortable sharing my private life with people... let alone my very private life with Gary. Please respect that privacy i wish to preserve ;)

4 More Days...

Monday has been a fruitful day...

went to school despite not feeling very well, but ofcos i believe God will heal me and i will definitely have the grace to go through this stressful period. I am so excited...yes.because of the wedding, most importantly, I wanna see God move through the wedding. God promises to bless us and it's His will for us to get married. God, i am expecting You!

After school, went to the bridal studio with my parents and brother. Had my final fitting and for once, mum said i looked good! it was really rare to hear praise from her! i resolute to be generous in giving praise and compliments to my kids next time! The gowns still look so fabulous...and they are in my room now! haha...

went for supper with mum and dad at LongHouse. The prawn mee is really delicious! yummy!

went home to conference with sister klessis on the details of the wedding. seems like there's still a lot to do but honey is so sweet, asked me to leave it all to him and i can just rest. yes, that's just what i'm going to do!

tomorrow i have to attend the magnolia award presentation again, this time till 730pm! aiyoh! no OT pay?!

Read angie's blog and she seems so so much in love! haha...that's really wonderful. i pray that this sweet sensation will go on forever and everyday they will be so mucn in love! Yes, i agree that we can never take our other half for granted. you never know when God wants them to go home. Sometimes we are so busy with everything that we often take people for granted. I wanna be in love with Gary more and more everyday!

Had a short chat with bro bruce this morning... i totally agree with him and i will definitely face people with the "same face" as him. if he thinks its not right, its not right! if he needs to disciple his members, i will go along with him. there has never been any special priviledges or invisible backing. Just as any other members, i am open to discipleship even if it comes from him. got it?

Collected my gowns today... haha
