I was playing the piano sometime this week.

I don't really play classical piano pieces anymore, but more like experimenting with the different chords combo.

It then dawned on me that there were many similarities with life.

How its important to be faithful in the little things. It you play simple chords well, you'v got a beautiful tune.

And just like music, life doesn't always have to be Loud (there is a time to be quiet).

People that i've been praying for

LR - Deliverance

Ms G - Health, Healing

My Colleague is really poor thing, she is a Christian but however gullible and hence susceptible to getting cheated. She has been diagnosed with heart disease, one of the valve leading to her heart has been blocked and she has to undergo surgery.

She has gone for ballooning once (opening of the valve) and now she has to go for bypass. However she doesn't want to go for the op for fear of death and is relying on only God and God alone to save her. The doctor has given her 4 months to live if she doesn't go for the op.

She has gone to alternative medicine to seek treatment.

I think she got so desperate that she got cheated.

Not sure how she met this European Con Man in Geylang.

But this guy charged her $200 for a scan of her finger and claimed it can detect her illness...etc.

After the scan, he told her "peace be with you" something to the effect that saying be prepared to... ahem say goodbye to the world.

What we have here is a woman and a fighting chance to live, not just for herself but for her two young daughters. Though I must admit that I do not enjoy working with her, but I still wish for her to return soon. She is confused and fearful at the same time. I only hope God will pls wake her up soon. May her family be able to be with her and be strong despite the challenges ahead.

Oh and did I mention? I AM GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR! It's on 26th Dec 2011.

Are you saved?

Are you saved?

That was the question that was being discussed in confirmation class today. How would you respond to that?

A whirl of thoughts filled my mind in how to explain it logically.

It's unquestionable and i positively knew inside of me that i am saved.

If you are drowned and a lifeguard rescued you, would you not know who saved you?

Had a friend pulled you away from incoming vehicle, would you not know you are saved?

In this instance "being saved" refers to our eternal life in heaven.

There were many experiences in my life where God came to my rescue.

Yup, and more than that His living word proclaims truth to say that He has sent His son to die for us as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. And by accepting and believing through faith that He is our saviour, we therefore have eternal life. What an amazing gift, what amazing love.

A little break

My ex-boss J is back. It feels alot more easier on my shoulders now that she's back. Still alot of emotions, some good, others are more selfish reasons. It's important to have these feelings sorted out before it gets out of hand. Need to pray for God's guidiance and trust that his plans for me are greater than my own.

Personal plans are getting more detailed. Did you know that there are actually alot of tension and pressure in wedding preperations? I've attended many wedding dinners/celebrations and have no idea how difficult it is. The important thing is to remain happy througout and not be overwhealmed by the details and the $$ required. God will make a way.

I'm relaxing now at a chalet right now. It feels good to not be doing anything stressful/routine/answering emails/attending meetings.. IT'S GREAT TO TAKE A BREAK!

I've been thinking about alot of things besides work during this break. My future, the usual concerns, shopping (which girl don't like to shop/ window shop?) and the planet earth resources and how i always seem to feel that the world is coming to an end. The earth's resources is depleting and its easy to point the finger at who is to blame, but i guess its everybody's business to influence or educate the person next to us to be mindful of mother nature instead of adopting a "i can afford it so i will just use it" attitude. There are plenty of great leaders that has set good examples. Just to name afew, Bill Gates and his wife that has set out to use his resources to help the impoverished countries or Mother Teresa who ministed to the poor?

It's one thing to be able to afford the resources, its another to be able to use it wisely and responsibly.

Brighter than Sunshine

I'm currently hooked to the song "Brighter than Sunshine".

It's the song that was played during the credits roll of "Alot like Love".

I'm not usually moved by movies, but this show really moved me in a strange way. I've watched it more than once and it engages and connects with the audience. In some way its fantasy and yet in some scenes its very realistic.

I have not been connected this way for a long time. A kinda lost and noticed but not yet found feeling. I know i'm sounding really deep right now. But that's the way i am. I have been brought up watching western shows more than mandarin dramas and this is one western show i wouldn't mind watching again.

The song Brighter than Sunshine has tunes that is soulful. He (the singer) looks quite dorky with his glasses but he rocks the music scene, writing songs at the age of 4 and offered a scholarship to pursue his dreams at the age of 16. Hey if that aint talent than what is!

He has a website which runs quick playlist of his music as well as he blogs alittle here and there.

Encouragement for the month of May

If you have been reading the newspapers for awhile, you would have noticed alot of it has coverage on bad news. People getting murdered, injustice (like the recent spat of the Romanian who got into a hit and run accident and is still brought to justice), volcano, Tiger Woods and Jack Neo with their scandalous frivolous lifestyles and what have you. It almost seems like the world is coming to an end. But do not lose hope.

Yes, no doubt this world is full of woes, but keep your eyes on God. Open them to the good of close people around you. Thank God for family members, close friends and the food that we eat. I know these seem like trival matters. Probably even the very basic necessities of life. But if we stop and ponder hard enough we will realise that it is these basic necessities that enable us to live day to day peacefully. God promised to be our provider and he has indeed provided well majority of us those basic needs to get us through.

I just had an Cornetto Vanilla Choc ice cream and i consider that a bonus!

I don't usually talk about my work but today i would dwell alittle into it. I have been in this company for 3 years now. According to the newspapers, 3 years in the same company is no mean feat. A great accomplishment as my generation are called strawberries and one who goes for instant gratification. I stand out alot in this aspect, not through my own might. I have been bestowed duties and more duties as the years go by. Many times i sit in the hot seat not knowing what to do next (not because i got nth to do, but don't know which task to start with!). But God has been extremely gracious and kind. Each time i fall He picks me up and refreshes my soul. Nobody knows the tears that i've cried or the sacrifices i've made but i know God sees it all.

Remember that despite my accomplishment and sacrifice:
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And our righteousness are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Yet God promises in
Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you ALWAYS; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land (like Singapore) and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

I know God can do that for me. To strengthen this small frame of mine.

Trust in God, for He is mighty to save.
