thank you Lord

my niece asked me to bring her to the playground one afternoon after school..
but i had to leave for work (nite shift) and it was a very hot afternoon

i told her it was too hot to play outside
she walked away and then i saw her come to stop and as she stood still with her hands clasped, she was whispering softly
i went near to eavesdrop.. :P
and heard her praying for weather that's not hot..

thank you Lord!!

Peace-A Weapon Against Satan

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me. - Psalm 23:4a KJV

In the battles of the workplace, your peace is actually a weapon. The workplace creates many opportunities to rob us of our peace. Cash flow concerns, deadlines, relationships - all create stress on us. Your confidence in the God of peace declares that you are not falling for the lies of the devil. You see the first step toward having spiritual authority over the adversary is having peace in spite of our circumstances. When Jesus confronted the devil, he did not confront satan with His emotions or in fear. Knowing that the devil was a liar, He simply refused to be influenced by any voice other than God's. His peace overwhelmed satan; His authority then shattered the lie, which sent demons fleeing.

There is a place of walking with God where you simply fear no evil. David faced a lion, a bear, and a giant. In this Psalm he stood in the "shadow of death" itself, yet he "feared no evil." David's trust was in the Lord. He said, "...for Thou art with me." Because God is with you, every adversity you face will unfold in victory as you maintain your faith in God! David continued, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies" (Ps. 23:5a). The battle you are in will soon become a meal for you, an experience that will nourish and build you up spiritually. Only God's peace will quell your fleshly reactions in battle. The source of God's peace is God Himself. If fear has been knocking at your door, begin to face that fear with God's peace. It is God's secret weapon to destroy fear

God's promises



feb has past in a blink and i hadn't blogged as much as i'd like to..
there's so much to thank God for..

ssl started in feb 09
missed the 1st session for niece's bday. hadn't spent time with her since she started p1, miss her terribly
managed to attend the 2nd session of ssl & was much blessed. a sister i juz met told me God hears my prayers for the salvation of many!!

and 3 days later.. a little boy at the hawker near church, with whom God has endeared my heart to.. and been spending time with & singing worship songs together whenever we meet, received Christ into his heart, accepting Christ as his Savior!!

God is amazing, barely 2 weeks later, his mom accepted Christ as her Savior & Lord too!! I followed her home one night on the bus.. it wasn't planned, it just happened! i somehow just hanged around alone till late at the hawker that night, and walked her to the bus stop, somehow got onto the bus together with her, not really noticing where the bus was going, coz i was really excited at how open and sensitive her heart was towards God as we chatted!! it got to the point when i was just bursting to ask.. i did at some point.. and she said yes!! we finished praying just before she alighted, i couldn't stop smiling all the way home.. (such joy!! all of heaven must be singing and dancing over this little new baby) and i got home without a glitch even though it was the first time i've been there.. and not sure of the way around there (..just certain God will see me homely safely)

there are many more to come!! God hears our prayers and answers us when we ask, seek n knock!! knock knock knock, keep knocking..

saw a rainbow as i came out of the library one evening (the evening when i was going for my first harvest & sow cell meeting), a really huge one, across the sky stretching as far as my eyes could see..

God's promises are true & good. remember His promises. God will bring it to pass no matter what

Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


and nothing, absolutely nothing (..hey that's another song :)) copmpares to the beauty of the Lord


Jesus Your love
Has come one step closer
I will trust
That You will never let me go
Jesus Your love
Has won me over
All my trust
Has found no other
I will declare the beauty of the Lord
Nothing compares to the beauty of the Lord
Jesus Your love takes my breath away
I'm living everyday for the beauty of the Lord
Jesus Your love takes my breath away
