Thank God that my Pastor visited my mum

Thank God that Pastor Ho visited my mum just now. The gospel was shared to her but she had some restrains. She is afraid that she can't help my grandmother in the Tomb Sweeping ancestral worship. She is afraid my dad will divorce with her if she believe in Christ. The time is still not ripe. However, thank God that the gospel was given again. I prayed that it will cause her to ponder upon her life.

Thank God for good Christian teachers

I saw this on one of my favourite teacher's (Tan Lay Leng) blog. It really inspired me to be a good teacher like her.

3）巨大的心意“Miss Tan, you are dearly missed!”
“Miss Tan is going for the gathering?! OMG! I can’t wait!”
“Miss Tan, you are always our favourite teacher! All these years you are not forgotten!”

十六年了！1993 年这些家伙是小学里高头大马的小八生。是小八。不是小六。他们升不了中学，必须留在小学多两年。其他的小学生对他们是又怕又有一种不可捉摸的感觉。连没教他们的老师也怕他们几分。可他们是我教书以来最疼爱，最特别的一班了！有人情味，肯努力，重义气。我教得很过瘾。

就快见到他们了。紧张得很。好比要去第一次的约会。

I happened to be one of her students then in 1993 in class 8B. Yes it is 8 extended in Primary School. This was because I failed my English in Primary 5, therefore I was 'demoted' to Primary 7 extended then. You probably won't heard of Primary 8 unless you are in my era! Thank God that I was motivated to study hard and I went into Secondary school express course. I came to a conclusion. Good teachers will motivate students to study well and he/she will be remembered by them after many years had passed!

Thank God for looking after our Nation and my work so far!

Today is Singapore 44th Birthday. Not only I want to thank God for keeping Singapore safe, having clean and green environment, excellent transport system, I also want to thank God that we can have the freedom to worship Him in Singapore. I also thank God for helping me in my work so far. Almost months had past since I am appointed as an Allied Educator. Thank God that I am still coping well with my work.

Thank God that I enjoyed teaching primary school students and also learning new things from my mentor. Thank God for a good mentor! She is that kind of person that don't really shout at students. Her teaching style really makes me respect her and I idolize her sometimes haha. She is also handling a difficult class. I often amazing at how she can handle her class so well. It of course comes with many years of experience. One sad thing is that she may be leaving next year. I hope that she can still stay on and I can continue to learn from her.

Thank God I also started to teach music last week. It is not easy to teach students music and to make the lesson interesting. However, I think it is a good training ground for me now. I prayed that I will be close to God. I struggled with my spiritual life recently. God sent me test after test. May I be found faithful to Him! Lord please keep me!

"The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." Lamentations 3:25

Thank God that the legged robot was finally done

Thank God after a few days of struggled. Finally the NXT legged robot was completed.

Thank God for the 1st May Chinese Gospel Meeting

Once again, it is my church annual Chinese Gospel Meeting on 1st May. Thank God it was held in the evening, therefore my mother decided to go. Most importantly, thank God for working in her heart. I also wanna thank aunty Karen, Lily and Limei for visiting my mum and also inviting her to come. In my heart, I am thinking that my mum won't come. However, I ask people to pray for her. Despite for my lack of faith, God still answers prayer. God also sent Miriam to offer to fetch her to and fro. Everything is in God's hand. Although, the friend that I invited never come, I still thank God for the chance to invite. May I not forget to fulfil the Great Commission!

Thank God for safe return mission trip from Tanjong Balai

Thank God that I am able to go to this mission trip in the passion week. After the trip, I learn three lessons. One is regarding the furvency in brother David service to the Lord. He works in Singapore as a finance personnel in an education institute. However, he makes it point to go to Tanjong Balai every alternate weekends to serve in the small church there. He would conduct tuition for the students and also visits the church children families over there. If they were Christian and were facing persecution at home, he will go to their house to encourage them. If there were none Christian, he probably will share the gospel to them.

The second lesson I learn is contentment. The people over there is like living in the 70s. They have lots of children in their home. Their living condition is like my grandmother's era. However, they lived happily together. Most of the man are fisherman and they were out fishing when we visited them.

The third lesson is God's blessing towards me. One children shared that her father objects her to believe in Jesus. However, I did not received such persecution. Thank God she still secretly attends the church with her mother.

I felt very blessed to be in Singapore and also the things that God had blessed me with. All glory be to God. If you had not been to a mission trip before, I urged you to go. You will realised how blessed are we who are living in Singapore compared to the people over there.

Thank God for a new job

Yeah! Finally, I feel much secure after receiving the Allied Educator posting memo from MOE. I will be starting my new job on 13th April 2009. I am not too sure of the exact job scope yet. I do pray that I will be able to pick up the new job soon!

Thank God for the Cantata on "No Greater Love"

Saturday evening was a well spent one. I went to Calvary Pandan to see the Cantata with 3 of my colleagues. One of them is an unbeliever. I was reminded of God's love for me. I was urged to reach out to people. Through this global financial crisis, people are losing their job. They need to gospel to enrich their lives. God please help me to have the burden for lost soul.

God arranged photo shoot!

Yesterday, I had to go to Cisco take have my Civil Service (CS) Card photo shoot. I left the school a bit late. When I reach City Hall MRT, I thought to myself, "This time I may be late, what happen if the person-in-charge asked me to come back another day?" It would be quite a trouble to go down to Paya Lebar again! I quickly breathe a prayer to God about this matter. When I reach Cisco, I was around 7 minutes late! I thought to myself, "I may have to come back another day. I am prepared for it."

As I walk in to the room where I had to take the photo, I seem to me that there is someone packing up the equipments. To my surprise, when he turned around I recognised a familiar face. It is Isacc Lum from Agape fellowship! It came as a surprise to me! I wouldn't have thought that he is the one who will took the photo for me! Even the photo shoot is carefully arranged by God! He told me that if it is someone else, he would have ask me to come back another day! Thank God! After the photo shoot, I had a small chat with him.

Sometimes after I pray, I don't really think that God will answer me directly. So there were a few occasions that I thought, "If this time the request failed then I just do it another time loi!" I don't have enough faith that God will answer a definitely, "Yes!" Yesterday, I really learn a lesson about faith in prayer. God will hear us when we pray, however do we sincerely believe that he will answer "Yes! Your desire is granted" or we will have the thought of "Let's pray and see whether God will answer. If not today, then another day perhaps." What a lesson for me!

Thank God for a new job in this great economic crisis!

The Lord is so good to me. I had failed Him countless time but He never took it into account with me directly. I am still well, strong and healthy for His use. I am so unworthy but the Lord still bless me with many things. It this world of economic crisis, many of them lose their precious job. They still have to feed their family. God grace is upon me and I just got a new job post. The job which I very much wants to be in. Previously I tried to apply for normal teaching post for 3 times, it is not His will at that time that I will be a teacher then. However this time, God think that I am ready. He make it in such a way that I will most likely to be selected.

During the interview session, it is in my school. My Principal, Admin Manager and two other principals interviewed me. God arranged it! Therefore, I really thank God for what He had done. For now, words cannot describe my joy! My official first day of school will be 13th April 2009. Pray that I will be able to cope with the new job scope!
