Amazing God

God is always so amazing..He never cease to amaze me over and over again how much He loves me and is so interested in every little details of my life...

I was preparing to pass an envelope to a friend 2 Mondays ago. I remember vividly that I actually prepared the content of the envelope, sealed it and put it in my bag. However, when I met her and wanted to give it to her, I realize that the envelope was not in my bag!!! I was really trying hard to recall where I place it, and that was the only memory that I had.

As I was looking for it at home, I chatted with God at the same time. Asking Him to help me recall where I could have carelessly displace the envelope. After some time, I just gave up and just said "God, in the next couple of days, do help me to recall where I left it, ok? Thanks" and I went to bed.

The next day as I was doing some reading (without even thinking about the missing envelope), I just kept having a strong impression to go take a look at my dustbin. At that moment, the missing envelope wasn't even on my mind, LOL!

Anyway, I looked into my living room dustbin and did not see anything particular inside...but the impression got stronger and more specific - bedroom dustbin...I went immediately into my room and check it out - Yes!!! You are right!!! The envelope that I was looking for was right there in front of me!! I'm still puzzle as to how I actually threw it inside without realizing it. LOL!

But, this little incident really reminded me powerfully once again how God is so interested in every details of our lives - that's how real and personal He is!!!

Lessons I Learn during my break

It has really been a long time since I last blog..but have decided that I'll start updating my blog as much as I can...

I was given the privilege to take a 2 month Sabbatical leave after serving in PCC Melaka for 10 years. It was a break that I felt I needed and wanted so that I'm able to take time to rest, spend some family time, have fun and catch up with my readings and some self development..

These are a few precious lessons that I personally learned during my rest time:

1. Just spending unhurried and uninterrupted time reading the Bible and chatting with God is such a thrilling and enjoyable experience.
2. Taking time to read up on books that will help me grow and expand is so much needed and
simply refreshing
3. Spending time with both my mentors were truly inspirational and needed. I was once again
reminded:
a) When my relationship with God is strong, the decisions that I make will be the right ones
But, if my relationship with God is weak, the decisions that I make are mostly wrong
b) I need to plan and I can plan. But, God can intervene into my plans anytime He wants
4. Selecting the right books to read during my break time is very vital
5. I've learn to be more relax and also to enjoy having fun :D
6. Taking time to journal everyday, makes me feel so near and connected to God. At the same
time, it helps me to develop a conscious and deliberate action of listening to His voice
7. Learning to rest in God at all times is needed and important so that I can be energize and
recover to hear Him and serve Him better
8. The basics of my spiritual disciplines must always be my priority - i need to learn to feed
myself and have a personal self feeding program

Breaks and pacing ourselves well to run the race of faith is needed for us to be more effective in fulfilling our purposes and call..Let's form a constant habit of resting in the Lord and hearing from Him
