God is so good

There's so much happening around us, around the the world, and yet God has each of us in His heart amidst the chaos and unrest..

He doesn't stop reaching out to the lost and He hears and answers our prayers no matter what we see happening around us..

and His amazing love and salvation is intended for everyone.. including those who are yet in His flock..

11"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Fatherand I lay down my life for the sheep. 16I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

lovely surprise

surprise visit from my darlings nieces tdy.. hardly get to see my eldest niece since she started p1 and miss her terribly..
her daddy brought her here this morning, wanted to bring her for a swim and we were looking for the huge dolphin float when she said:"xiaogu can u pray and ask God where it is?" i was, asking actually.. and she smiled and said.."you forgot to say..(in tongues)" yay God!

Dear God

i want to see You, everyday
i want to go where You go
and wherever You want me to be

i want to be happy and proclaim Your goodness and amazing love
all the more, when it is difficult to do so

Lord give me strength to rejoice in the darkest moments
when i am blinded and broken
so that i can shine for You
no matter what

Father help me to be obedient to only Your voice
give me faith and boldness
to stand up for You
to walk in the way i should go
no matter what

Teacher give me wisdom to speak at the right time with words from Your heart that will bring healing and reconciliation to hearts that need You

i surrender my body, soul and spirit to You
i'm Yours Lord Jesus now and forever Amen

Habakkuk 2:2 KJV
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Habakkuk 2:3 NIV
For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come and will not delay.

homeschooling

one particular morning after urbankidz, was sitting and chatting with rachel and charlotte ~ my attention is easily drawn to these 2 girls each time i see them.. rema kids:)~ and rachel began sharing with me excitedly about what she's learnt at homeschool about the human body systems when i asked her how was her week - the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the skeletal system.. and bubbling over with excitement over what they were going to learn the next day and how each day begins with devotion and worship.. wow i'm so inspired and totally convinced to do homeschooling with my kids too..

to soak together in God's presence everyday, learn God's word together, live out God's will for us, and to guide them in the way that they should go.. God's way

i dun have kids of my own yet, i'm not married, dun even have a boyfren yet..
but couldn't help wanting to find out..
more about homeschooling..

thought it'd be good to keep these links here, so i can refer to them when i need to :P
