New Year (Singapore)

Greetings from Singapore! Happy New Year to All!

New year to me now is just another number added on to the calender and to my age. I think I live by everyday as a new day/year with new hopes and aspirations. Cos we are ever changing, and there is one constant, who is my/our God. Yesterday was 2010, today is 2011. Do you feel any difference? Weather's pretty much the same. Your bed still feels the same. Daily routine as per normal...It won't be a revolution the moment you get out of bed and and things are different. What's different we can make the difference to people's life!

The reason why I came back to Singapore is not only because of my job but for my parents. And I knew clearly from the start. And I have already mentally prepared myself that things will be extremely difficult especially now that I have lived away from home for about 5 years and I am very independent, also have my own habits(good/bad). Above all difficulties, my parents are deeply rooted taoist/buddist. I have got a feeling that I am living in a devil's den everyday. Incense smell day and night. Hear them chanting prayers. Kept telling me about temples, etc. I hate it here. I question at times and cry it out to the Lord in my heart, 'why am I in this Shit hole? Lord, please do something about it'. I have mastered patience quite well and I felt that He is telling me to be patient and in His time, everything will be done/sorted.

Pride is bounding most people. Because of pride, they refuse to apologise. Refuse to say please. Refuse to asknowledge. Refuse to give way. I have spent overseas long enough to get to see 'the other side' of human beings. I am not perfect either. But at least I lay it all down and surrender it all to the Lord and ask him to give me a bigger heart to love people.

I need lots of prayers and patience. I require assistance. I cant do it by myself. It pains me to see my parents believing in something which is not real. Good deeds, good blessings? bad deeds, end up in hell? Pray for the money God to shower money at them? What a load of rubbish I have heard throughout my entire 21 years of my life. I feel so cheated sometimes... *sigh*

Anyway, it is good to be back blogging again.=)

I received lots of cards/gifts from friends and the SO family. I feel so loved by them.

Our Father in heaven, blessed be your name on this New year. Thank you for your love and blessings for the past year Lord. Thank you for being with us always despite our disobdience and human nature. We thank you for your unfailing love for us. Every day we are renewed by your holy spirit and your grace. Lord, I thank you for friends and family members who care for me throughout these years and continuing to keep in touch. I pray that Lord, your favour will be with them and bless them abundantly with your love and reveal yourself to them more each day. Cloth them in your cloak of righteousness. Give them the armour plate and sword to fight the devil. Equip them with words which will draw people to your heavenly kingdom. I pray for your will to be done in GCCC, I ask Lord for a pastor in the EM. I thank you for the leaders you have raised thus far and the passion they have for you oh Lord. May it be your will that EM will hold steadfast and grow in numbers. Father, I pray for myself that you will give me the wisdom on how to handle my parents and be patient and loving towards them. Father, please forgive me when I get into heated conversations with my parents. I pray that you will bless my conversations with my parents and soften their hearts and be more receptive and sensitive towards the holy spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray that your work be done in them and cast out the devil/demon who is working in them. Father, convict them with your holy spirit. I pray for my relationship with Cat. Thank you Lord for blessing us with the Iphone and making technology possible for us to connect. Oh Lord, we still believe that it's you whom we connect with that is making everything possible! I thank you for the gift of Cat into my life. Lord, she is ready to move on with her career and I pray that you will reveal your plans to her. May it be her staying in UK or coming over to SG, we entrust our future into your hands. I pray for your peace to be with her and your reassurance may rest her soul. I pray that you will help us to plan our trips and holidays and may you help us remove any obstacles which are hindering our plans. Lord, thank you for listening to my prayer. I commit the above prayer into your hands. In Jesus mighty name I pray. AMEN'
