God, The Match Maker

Qiu Hong is going to marry this September to a brother in China.

The whole story is very dramatic. How God told the guy about his future companion. How then God confirmed and brought the two together. ....

Qiu Hong has passion for gospel in China for the past few years. She has been stationed there to do God's work. I had been together with her when i went for short mission trip. She is a wise lady, listening to God's prompting a lot. A very good leader.

Pray that God will lead and guide her in everything that she do.

Hard Feeling/Comfort

After a hectic CNY session. Almost everything resume its normal phase. For the whole of the CNY holidays, all of us chat, eat, sleep. Ha! We watch CJ7. It's very interesting.

Send off John on the 10th. I still have not pulled myself together, but the next morning, 11th, my brother called from Jakarta about the assasiantion happened in Dili. Wahdoh! I was so stressed. Unable to continue with my work even though it was the first day after the long holidays.

I put down everything, prayed, then i called Eunice. She was fine and in fact i were the first one to inform her. She got to confirm with the Dili staff. Anywhere I prayed that she will be in good hand.

I travelled back to KT twice, went for movie, Kung Fu Dunk..........in the week.

Sometimes, me too, cannot claim to be very steady and strong.

My brother called me another time in the evening on Monday. He showed much concern and normally is not his style. At the age passed 60, he is not more Teng Xiao Ping or Mao Zhi Dong.... Now that we are able to communicate well. Thank God that all my siblings are in good term. What i need is to carry on to pray for his true salvation.

The Twins

Tracy, Elvan and Ivan's aunt called me when i was shopping in Jusco. Their mum is single mother, got pregnant before married. The man was irresponsible or they are still sorting out whether to stay or separate. Goodness, the children is now 3 years old, the adults were still 'want' or 'not'. Crazy!
The mum got to work in a pub, smoke a lot, bad temper. She put the children with me end of last year. Something confused her, she withdrew. You could really see that the children were confused and very emotional, crying most of the time and always ask "Do you love me?"Poor thing.
The aunt said many things happened that she really couldn't work. The father passed away, now that the nanny refused to look after the twins. Daytime they can be with us in the school but how about nighttime? Their mum need to work. The aunt depressed. What on earth is this?
She requested me to help by keeping them in the school with me that she and here sister are able to concentrate working.
Oh God, can i help?

Wedding Preparation

Too bad that the Japanese restaurant is closed for CNY from today onwards. Poor lixin and elvin..... Fortunately something a few doors away satisfied them.
Both of them were busy with work, study and now the preparation for their big day.
Hope the printer that they approached will do a good job for them. The two even help their friend to source out the printing cost for invitation card.
Glad that their discuss and always agree on what they want. Now they are still looking for door gift.
Oh, What can i do to help them?

Chinese New Year

Had good time listening to all my children communicating at the same time and also the lao ba. New year without one of them, is a little...... But we approached the relevant personel, I knew this tough lady will stay. She always keep her promise and will not want to do something that she will regret one day.
At times a promise is a promise. Is sealed and there is no turning back. That reminded me of the time when i was having my theology lesson after i came back from ET. We were asked "If Jesus is destined to be nailed, and He knew it at the very beginning, why must pray to God to remove the cup and also why He cried "Father, father, why have you forsaken me." Yet He obeyed till death.
i really coundn't express my feeling towards this issue. Is tearing in my heart. Why should this man whom i do not know got to bear my sin and die for me that i may reconcile with my Father.
And in actual case, i have done so little towards His death for me.
