do something beautiful

A beautiful song with happy tunes and meaningful lyrics to a beautiful God who is worthy of all our praises =)

Let's all do something beautiful to our awesome king...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~This is one of my favourite song i simply adore..

Indeed a beautiful song for the lovely king.. ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do something beautiful =)

We are a shining light

City on a hill that can't be hidden

A shining light

And this shining light

Is the life of Jesus in us

Oh What a light

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fire of his Spirit burns

With justice, joy and peace

And works through our hands and feet

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chorus:

Go do something beautiful

In the name of Jesus,

Do something beautiful

Go do something Jesus Would

Do something beautiful!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are the salt of the earth

Here to purify and flavour

Salt of the earth

Sent through all the earth

To love God and love our neighbour

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Salt of the earth

As freely as we received

So freely we must give

And we are his hands and feet

(*repeat chorus)

Intergrity

Integrity...personal honesty to God and men..being honest about who we are as well...and even when no one is around..still standing for the truth...it should be something that ties every aspect of our life together...

This is one thing i learnt from reading this book for this week:
"The climb of your life."
It talks about how climbing ~literally climbing mountain, is like our climb for God in our lifes as well...making relations and drawing verses to bring to light in relation to our walk with God...Truely His words speaks to me..still reading on it...but reading on this part of "Integrity" just blew my mind...

"Climbing is,above all, a matter of integrity." ~Gastoon Rebufat

Just thinking on this point....having the integrity to be absolute honest in all our doings and yet kind in our dealings with people..requires that leading and closeness with the vine....apart from the vine...branches are dead...as honest as dead branches can be...it is dead...so connection is so important....connection with u lord...our only true vine...with integrity... Integrity involves more than being honest...more than telling the truth...more than keeping promises...it is also being honest about who we are..a person of integrity? humbling thought.

misrepresenting ourselves is something that is so wrong and i guess through the story of ananias and sapphira in acts 5:1-11 reminded me that God sees the importance of integrity as much as men sees...such seriousness that they both fell dead immediately after lying not just to men only,but to the Spirit of God...
humbling thought again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most importantly..God sees the depth of my heart..still loves us the same.
This blew everything else away...Grace. Often taken for granted... shame on us. Rather shame on me.
Help me Lord...
For apart from you, there is no integrity..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord."~1Cor 1:9

Indeed, you are so faithful.

Celebration of surprise birthday for Christina...should have took down her surprised and shocked look that day..Just thank God for this sweet time of catching up with her...and thanks for doing up the pens for fusion night girl! =)

Thank God for the chance to celebrate Jason's birthday at Jolin's place..=) Am sure all enjoyed..and Parents are amazing people..=)

Thank God once again for my work..amazing people..the smiles of the kids just never fail to lift my day up...It is such a joy to work with each and everyone of them...Renovation work for these few days...Got to re-set up everything and carrying all the furniture and stuffs...so its "physical labour" as well as "mentally"..to think of how to arrange them and making of new stuffs..praying for strength..And my fridays, saturdays, and even sunday may be burnt...praying that sunday i will not need to go back to work....as we got to get everything ready by monday..to be precise is before monday...so if saturday we did not finish setting up, we have to go back on sunday..Fusion night is coming too! May newcomers come to fellowship!Praying praying..."The kings' hearts is in His hands.." Thank the Lord for this verse!
Praying that I can finish all my work by saturday before 7pm..which seems impossible..but am just holding on to the hope that it can be done! "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" =) Pray for me and my bunch of colleagues too! May all be well and healthy..as viruses seems to be spreading around...Pray for their salvation too! Thank God that He opened doors to be able share to two colleagues last week..as busy as we seems..He opened the doors!

Had a wonderful time eating with mum yesterday..At beijing restuarant near my workplace..Delicious.Bought a bag for her, and i just thank God for this time to be just alone with her, spending time with her and chatting...She aged thruout the years..and i pray that salvation comes soon...as life is really unpredictable...As much as i wanna walk with her and shop around with her, my body fails me...had fever and body aching terribiliy...my throat seems to have "stones" in the middle...terrible feeling. .Praying that will get well as the next day got to attend a staff retreat @ Bishan Park...

went down in the morning today, to pass shirt to my colleague, then went to see doctor...Had tonselities and infection.. Praying to get well soon..Many a times we seem to take our health for granted..but when we are sick, we realised that we are so weak..this is my relisation for me now..that life is short..and unpredictable...
May we live as he desire, obey God as we should..for this is what it really matters..
..Help me Lord! Just one life..we got to live it..

A new song that i like:

(At the foot of the cross)

And you won my heart..

Yes you won my heart..

Now i can,

trade these ashes in for beauty..

and wear forgiveness like a crown..

Come in to kiss the feet of mercy

I lay every burdens down,

At the foot of the cross...

Life is the sum of all your choices. ~Albert Camus

Choices..everyday we choose what to eat, where to go, what to do and who to meet..it is about priorties and making choices....Right decision-making is so vital..how to make the right decision? how about the right and pleasant things, but also making those choices in His perfect timing? It is just so important in all the decisions that we make, as everything seems to be interlink, just like the chains we used on bicycles, once one of the chain is broken, it cannot be used anymore..just some thoughts as i happen to read this quote..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Work as been great. Thank God for the precious kids that simply lift up my heart whenever i see them.You should see the sweet smiles of the kids, so genuine and the simplicity of their actions and thoughts never fail to cheer anyone up...
Though sometimes it can be kinda frustrating to get my point across to them , & with that extra workload many a times, it is still a joy to be with them, & His love is the key,with patience, & i know God is always teaching me precious lessons along the way...

Love the songs @ Uth worship. Lyrics that lift Him up. Can't imagine what is it like in heaven, singing songs forever in His presence. How great will that be...
Yes, thank God for bringing in some guys from the streets. ..amazing.
And Jiayi, Yes girl, it has always been great to have you with us...=) Thanks for the sweetest note you gave! If you happen to see this: Just wanna let u know again, God loves u very much.Very very much.....=)

Thank God for the time @ Ian's place, and Anne's cooking of spagetti! The labour of love made the noodles so yummy. Thank you Anne! Appreciated it.
And thank you for all those who laid hands on the noodles! =) yummilicious.

Went to visit alex grandfather @ hospital with Ian,James,Cherylss...do pray for alex,his family and alex's grandfather...Your will be done Lord...Just dawned on me that life is really short and fragile...

"Life is the art of drawing without an eraser."
~ John W. Gardner ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thinking about life..just thank Him for i still got to live on this earth, though alot of times i do prefer to be with Him in heaven physically.. =) that glorious day..

Anyway, thank you for cute cheeky children, though naughty & rebellious at times, but that's what make kids...we all haf this sinful nature, awaiting to be redeem by His blood..
the joy i haf working with the kids just lift up my spirits. So innocent and all that they feel is written on their faces, just so transparent.. Thank you God for dear kids..

Sent xiuzhen off @ airport...May the six of our singaporeans going for competition be blessed and do your best! =)

Special someone @ my workplace:
This auntie @ my workplace is just so sweet... Like an angel in human form. She treats me real well, and i am just so thankful for all the nice food i haf every single day without fail from her, specially hand-made.
What a wonderful auntie...I pray that auntie,you will know Jesus Christ.

Still unsure of the future, as what the quote says, life is the art of drawing without using an eraser...may God be the pen of my life.
Whatever way you wish to draw...

Happy Mothers' Day!

"Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings."

It has been a great day for me, celebrated the day with my family yesterday @ sembawang eating seafood with mummy & brothers....was a really nice time. I thank God for my mummy, bringing me up and taking care of me..bearing my nonsense...been praying for my family, and i just thank God for the chance to be with them, eating loads of food and adding that extra weight... =)

Thank God for mum...bearing the nonsenses that i haf been in my past, and being in the family. It really has not been easy, and with loads of trials in the family as well, but thank God now we are all grown ups and can in turn be taking care of mum.. U are someone really special.

Just been thinking about it...that God created special mums for individuals, however different each one is, God has great plans for us individually. Being a mum is such a high calling, so high that not everyone can take up the role well....Thank you mum for bringing me up...
praying for u mummy,i really really hope u get to know Jesus Christ...
