With the F1 and all, it was a fast weekend. Everything flashed through marvellously. With all the weekend ‘races’ of life, ministry and recreation behind me, it pays to slow down.
At the morning club, I spent some time with God in adoration, confession and thanksgiving. It wasn’t a long one but I was able to refuel. I’m out with some real ACTspiration and now moving on top gear to prepare for Operation DOD this Wednesday. Yeeeee har!… if I’m not busy serving God, I may be busy worrying about a lot of other things. It isn’t how busy I’m, it is how close I’m to God in times like this. God is good to always draw me near.
Singapore is hosting her first Grand Prix night race. All gear up to be at the race tomorrow and really looking forward to it, I was shocked to be forwarded this email from Pastor Jo.

OK guys, coming from Ps Jo, should I take it seriously!
The difference between a healer and a fixer is that one empathizes until what is needed emerges and the other assumes what is needed and goes about giving it whether it is wanted or not.
I was at Lee Hwa Jewellery. I had some free waiting time so I picked one really nice and sparkling diamond ring to stare at. It was a huge stone and I wanted to check how if it could mesmerize me.
5 minutes later, I learned something about ‘value’ systems. While it did nothing to me, at some point when I imagine myself as a middle aged full-time housewife, I did feel a strange pull. There’s no doubt that precious stones such as diamonds and gold are of great worth. The bible talks about them representing something precious and of great worth. However the bible also suggests that if one do not have precious stones (ie. silver or gold) to offer, that offering Jesus is an better option.
Husbands, what do your wives need? The most important thing you should be offering her is Jesus. Guide her and give her spiritual direction to established her worth as comrade and partner in life. Her spiritual need is first and foremost.
So give your spouse Jesus because if otherwise, you will have obligations to give diamonds. (Which is of course not necessarily a bad thing to truly express the great worth of a good wife)
A certain famous person once said “Don’t give to me unless you are able to give with the joy of a little child feeding hungry ducks”
Guys, practice giving eyes wided and with a smile. If its done with duty or obligation, take it back. You are still not a giver. The only style of giving is ‘cheerfully’.
Speaking of kids belonging to beds at home, Mei Si’s the target of chicken pox. She will be absent from school and down for 2 weeks with the “pox” .
Now I wonder what she’ll do with all that time at home.
2 days ago, received sms from Wan Leng that his 3 year old girl Emelia is admitted to KK Hospital with suspected dengue. Her blood platelet count was low. Doctor confirmed it wasn’t dengue and didn’t know what it was. Blood platelet went down to 37 when we visited and prayed for her.
Yesterday, after visitation. Blood platelet went up to 60 something. Today, received email from her dad, that Emelia’s blood count shot up to 107 and that she’s having a nap at home.
Yes, kids belongs to their own beds at home.
Another 7 year old boy we are praying for is also doing well. Dignosed with liver cancer but what is that thing, if God is healing him. Doctor gave him 1 week to one month’s life. During the weekend, we trusted God to prayed and declared God’s power before the family. We water baptism him. Now he’s eating well again, stomach has soften after severe hardening, he’s beginning to sit up more, there’s less discomfort and started to urinate properly. We are trusting God for full healing.
We look forward to him very soon having naps at home.
Last week was a great service. We changed the format of our service. We moved our room layout to be wider rather than deep. This helped us be closer to the kids. We explored the theme of God’s church isn’t a building, it is you and me. We were united, we were purposeful and having fun, think we cannot ask for anything more for the first day. Next week we have promises that it’ll better.
There’s spiritual warfare like never before. Going to hospitals are like daily/weekly affairs for some of us. But we are winning. God’s people always win. If we are faith-filled rather than fearful, there’s nothing that we cannot do. Restoration and healing are occurring ahead, behind and alongside us.
My thought today:
“I’m a fortified city, iron pillar and bronze wall. I stand!”
Yes, I want to feel like a castle today.
No, I am a castle. And I stand!
Hated something or a feeling you had last week?
What are you doing different today towards a brand new week?
