Uhmm... Last Sunday, during service, Ps Peter Tsukahira preached bout "The People of the Kingdom of God".
And suddenly I thought of this, "I guess I know 2 of the reasons/purposes of God bringing me to Singapore" (previously, I really didn't know why...).
It is to bring me to BBTC to deal with me the following two issue in my life:
1. No condemnation, even self-condemnation. To have mercy for myself n others. Grace... and grace only... My salvation, value, etc are all by the grace of God only.. There's no need to prove myself.. There's no need to strive for acceptance, for significance..
2. Sacred v.s Secular
(Through how the lay-people serve 'fulltimely', and confirmed by Ps Tsukahira's today message).
Well, I'm not saying "Yayyy... I don't need to be a pastor anymore". I still believe God calls certain people to be in "full-time ministries as in pastors, missionaries, etc", just like He calls doctors, teachers, plumbers, etc. I mean, imagine if I become a pastor before having this long time planted mindset dealt with, I'll be an inmostly arrogant pastor/person, thought that I'm a so obedient child of God, wei da, better than others, etc...
Ohh.. I thank You, Lord... for Your perfect plan in my growing process... Who am I God, that You are so mindful of me??

A blessed 'Pastors' Kid'
Everytime after I talked to Mommy, I'll always feel and in awe listening how Dad n Mum are always in favour with God thru men. It really tells me again and again the perfect care n special favour of God toward His faithful servants. Not only that, it really teach me and make me witness with my own eyes n life the law of "sowing and reaping".
Just now I called them again just to check mum's condition and to chit chat. Mum told me that she's got almost a RM1000 discount from Dr. Goh Kian Hua who did her operation, this is also the Doctor who operated Pa 2 years ago for his cyst and gave discount from his Doctor fee also. And guess what Mum told me.. Mum did a cosmetic surgery in Alor Setar, and when she arrived Kch, not knowing who else to turn to ask for help to take out the thread, she went to look for Dr. Goh. Dr. Goh did it for her. I mean, man... he's a great surgeon! I told Mum, "wah.. nyi an thai liap uu.." haha... And also, for all of Pa n Mi's eyes medication n consultation, Dr. Teo was the one who always take care of that with super cheap price... God... it's just... ah... indescribable...
This is really what Mum reaps by the seed of love, sincerety, generousity in painstakingly and self-less-ly bringing people to Kuching for their medical needs that Mum's sowed.
Oh God... I am just soo touched and in awe of your marvelous and great work in Your servants' life. God... I want to be like them... Ooopss.. I know, this will mean, there'll be a lot of seeds that You'll require me to sow n some of them would be pretty unpleasant.. but... yeah... I want, God... ^^

Mum's op was done.
Dear God... Thank You sooo much... for seeing us through in everything. Each day, I really 'bei gan dong' by Your love, mercy, and grace more and more...
Mommy's operation was over, very well and fast. I called Pa and talked to Mommy. She was very happy and was saying it was very fast and not painful at all.
She wished me "Sheng ri kuai le, cim cim cim (which means kiss kiss kiss), haha...
And God, how 'gan dong' I am, that You actually provides more than what I could think of. Not only You made everything went perfectly, You also provides company for Pa and Mi. So, Li Moy Ku and her husband also met Mi there and they went for check-up also, apparently, her husband also need to undergo some laser thingy which causes him need to be hospitalized for 1 night also. So, Pa will have company with Li Moy Ku, haha... what a divine arrangement rite?? :)

Knowing God [3]
And this was what I highlighted last nite (17 Aug 09):
Page 25
'Poor souls,' our friends say of us, 'how they've suffered' - and that is just what we feel about ourselves!
But these private mock heroics have no place at all in the minds of those who really know God!
When I read the 2nd point about knowing God v.s knowing about God, "One can know a great deal about godliness (simply by the sermons, books, company, etc) without much knowledge of God", "It is just sooo ME!"
Page 27
The question is, can we say, simply, honestly, not because we feel that as evangelicals we ought to, but because it is plain matter of fact, that we have known God, and that because we have known God the unpleasantness we have had, or the pleasantness we have not had, through being Christians does not matter to us?
CAN I??? OHHH...

Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives.
We're cruel to ourselves if we try to live in this world without knowing about the God whose world it is and who runs it. The world becomes a strange, mad, painful place, and life in it a disappointing and unpleasant business, for those who do not know about God.
*And this is very good:
On January 7th, 1855, the minister of New Park Street Chapel, Southwark, opened his morning sermon as follows:
It has been said by someone that 'the proper study of mankind is man'. I will not oppose the idea, but I believe it is equally true that
(aiyah.. to be continued...)

Thank You, God... I'm feeling better now... very OK, actually :)
Called Dad n Mum, chatted for a while. Can sense that Mum actually wished I could go also, but I'd let her know my wish that I could go if it's not because I don't have leave anymore. God, I hope I can go on Friday night with cheap ticket leh.. can? :)
I'm very proud of my self that I calmly ended the conversation by saying to mum, "Ok lah, I'll pray for you", haha...
Yeah, Jia Yun, must really learn not to so easily saddened or overwhelmed oo... so big girl already, hehe...
Thank You, my faithful God... I believe! I trust in You! You indeed have and will take perfect care of Your Servants. Thank You, dear Lord... I'm indeed so thankful that You are mindful n care for us. Help me to really grow up, in my emotion.
