My Weekend
Shirley left for US on saturday morning. Enjoy yr trip ah womanz. ur rite, MSN ROX!
Anyway, i know that God gave me this special wkend. It's not as if He owed me a gd weekend, but i guess He knows better my desires and what i need.
Many things to thank God for.
1. I am beginning to see prep for mission trip taking shape, thank God that He managed to bring together a group of His workers to go on this trip. The fact is that there is nothing that can be so important to prevent me from going for this trip. It's a joy to serve the Lord in this area. I still remember the strong passion i had 5 years ago for missions. i pray that God will re-ignite the passion in me once again.
2. i enjoyed my night last night, i had beancurd + caesar salad for dinner. See, i'm starting to start my lose-weight regime! No la, kidding, i just love caesar dressing that's why! Blissful Night. =)
3. Thank God for today's service. It was a huge band, and looking at how late we practised till last night, all the dark eye rings. Haha. I thank God that He spoke clear messages to many of us during our prayer and preparation last night. God is real, if His pple are willing to wait on Him and listen, He WILL speak! Today, everything fell into place like a jigsaw puzzle, technicalities aside. God has been lifted up in our praises and worship unto Him. Praise Him, just Praise Him!!
4. Enjoyed spending time with Esther and my cell group guys (Alvin, Thomas, Feng and Royston) after lunch this afternoon. It's been a long time since. Roy bought this container of alphabets/numbers and we started forming weird words and weird things. Brings back the "child" in us. Short time, but it was truly a great time.
5. Went to take a look at my students at the orchestra pract today. I'm so hoping that God will suddenly do a miracle to that orchestra. They are nowhere near performance standard, but i see it as a personal achievement for my students because it is truly an independent effort on their part to practise on their own for this charity concert at St Andrew Community Hospital next wkend.
6. Thank God that though it rained today, the sky wasn't too dark and the rain didn't last that long, not much thunder? No lightning! Though i still don't like rain, but i still give thanks coz when i think of those countries that are facing drought, i think i should then retract my tots abt disliking rain!
7. I visited Bt Batok Nature Reserve in the evening, yeah, in the light rain. Very cooling and nice. i enjoy the serenity of these places. Abt 6.30pm, quite dark already, went to explore some very ulu path in the Reserve, walked about 1/8 of the Reserve. i think i did quite well with my heels, up slope, down slope, like macham must apply invisible brakes and gears when i'm walking. Anyway, heading back there soon, with the right shoes! You seldom find someone who's willing to do such things with u.
8. New Dinner place, meaningful time.
It's been a cool weekend, i received more than i asked God for. God is really good. He says, "Continue to focus on me, seek ME first, and i'll give you what i think is best for you."
i pray that the new week will be a God-empowered week, need loads of God's presence to be with me. Teach me to FOCUS on You, and put You first in my thoughts, words and deeds.
Thank You for whatever You have given me. It's precious and i want to give it back to You. Use us, for Your glory.
Amen.
