When life doesn't make sense...

Had my second dialect LG being the guitarist.
Super honored and glad to be able to serve You in such ways, looking at the elderly coming together to praise and sing love song to you.
My dream is to be a guitarist for You, bringing people into worship...

 Once again encouraged by the testimony shared by the teacher, Mdm Christine Lam.
She have 2 sons and she prayed for the third child to be a daughter.
God granted her and she was so delightful! She even checked twice with the doctor during baby-scan and right after she gave birth. 

 However, 5 months later, her new-born daughter is diagnosed with a medical disease, causing her to be bed-ridden for the rest of her life, and being mentally retarded, not able to speak a single word.

As what most people would initially react, she blamed God and questioned why did God gave her a daughter half-heatedly. Every night her daughter's bed would be filled with tears and tormented pain....

I was holding back my tears while she shared. It's been 17 years now and she is faithfully taking care of her daughter and having faith in Jesus. She shared how Christ has been giving her joy amidst this tragedy, and how in God, she had the peace and strength to carry on, and looking forward to a brand new day.

Wow.. This is not easy Lord. But you have faith in her.
You have faith that she is able to pull through it together with You.
In John 9 Jesus said this happened so that the works of God can be displayed in the man blind from birth.. Indeed, God can use tribulation for our good and for His glory..
I see how Christine continue to trust and love God despite all this; despite not being able to understand why, despite how things just totally doesn't make sense, despite how much pain she experienced than her severest imaginings can forbear..
but at the end of the day.. all is well and all shall be well with Jesus.
She has boosted in the hope of the glory of God (romans 5).
Not only so, but she also in her sufferings, which produces perseverance, and perseverance, character, and character, hope. 


Lord, bless her and her family. I thank you that her whole family has come to know you, and call upon your name.

ride the rainbow

"Thirty years ago, my colleagues, younger and more dreamy eyed, settled the words of our pledge. We did not focus our minds on our navels or we would have missed the rainbow in the sky. We pursued that rainbow and that was how we came to build today’s Singapore" "There is a glorious rainbow that beckons those with the spirit of adventure. And there are rich findings at the end of that rainbow." "To the young and the not too old, I say look at the horizon, find that rainbow, go ride it. Not all will be rich; quite a few will find a vein of gold but all who pursue that rainbow will have a joyous and exhilarating ride and some profit." Mr Lee Kuan Yew Looking at Lee Kuan Yew, how he gave up his life for the good of others, for the generation and future one to come to have a better life. How he sees the value of what he is doing.. Also reminded of Jesus Christ, how he gave up his life, sacrifice for us when he did no wrong, to that he may be sin ...

The heart of worship (Christian Artist)

Humbled by this experience to dance on stage for the audience of One, ministering to others through dance. Thank You Lord, all glory to you.  That first step of obedience is the toughest. I know full well someone else could do a better job than me, and know that it is by the grace of God that I can be involved in His kingdom, serving Him and ministering to others.  When I was doubting my abilities, secretly hoping that the leader will change his mind and get someone else to do it, God never stop searching my heart and tells me who am I in Him, that it is indeed all about Him and not me. He bring me back to this very reason of why I started dancing for Him. "I'll bring you more than a dance,  for a dance in itself, is not what you've required. You searched much deeper within,  through the way things appear,  You're looking into my heart."  (heart of worship) The world looks at efficiency and capability, but God looks at the hear...
