Thank God for church 30th Anniversary

Today thank God for many opportunities to serve Him in the music ministry. The amazing thing is that I did not cough during those item presentations but was coughing throughout the whole service. God answered my prayer! What I felt most joyful was not that I am able to serve in the music ministry but that God moves the heart of someone who do not attend church regularly to come for today's church anniversary. I prayed that the word of God today will remind her of God's goodness and spurs her on to be regular in church worship.

Thanksgiving for 2016

I should have posted this earlier but I have forgotten.

Thanks to God:
1. For preserving my salvation and sustaining me in the faith even though I am weak.
2. That I can get into NIE after 10 years in the education industry.
3. For pay increment even though I am prepared to get a pay cut because I am untrained.
4. From Jul to Nov can teach in a school that is very near to me.
5. Mum fell in Korea but it is not very serious and is recovering well
6. Pass my 1st violin grading exam and Grade 6 music theory exam.
7. Thank God for increase in numbers in Choir ministry and last year actually I was a little discouraged but God is good. Preacher Clement comes in to give exhortation, and subsequently Preacher James, Preacher Yahui and ShuaiYong and also give the exhortation before every Choir session begins. Thank God for their preaching.
8. Financially can still managed my dad's dialysis treatment together with my sister and that there is still some insurance cover
9. Can go to CHINA and see God's creation
10. Can still go to Ipoh at a short notice.

The Lord is good

It was 11 months since my last post, I should have thank the Lord earlier. In July, I was posted to a school that is only a road junction away from my home. God heard my prayer and I was posted to a school that is so near to my home! In August, I pass my Grade 5 violin exam. It is my 1st violin exam and I want to thank God for giving me a good and patient teacher. In November, I received 2 good news. Not only I had passed my Grade 6 theory exam with Merit, I was giving a place in NIE. 

A peasant surprise for my GEO appointment briefing today

My 1st thought was to give thanks to God! What a pleasant surprise! I thought my salary might be lower compared to my current AED job, as I am untrained. Neither would I thought that there would be a huge jump. As I received the appointed letter, I see God's favour upon me! All glory, honour and praise be unto Him again!

1st Thanksgiving for 2016

I thank God that I am reminded to give thanks. I had been slacked these few years. I shall start off with the 1st thanksgiving for the year. Thank God for answering my prayer for granting me admission to MOE to be a Music Teacher. It is somehow like a dream come true. 

My childhood dream is to be an architect but as I grew up my dream job change. At first, I thought i would be in the IT line, therefore I studied Multimedia Computing. However when I started to have a feel of how it is like to be a software engineer, I detested it! Neither did I realise that what I had studied got me into the job of being a Multimedia Educator much later! That job lasted for four years plus, then I slowly realised that I began to love teaching. After three failed attempts in applying to be a teacher, I realise that I need a degree and the necessity to upgrade myself. For five years of studies, I finally graduated with a bachelor by God's grace.

The thought of being a teacher never left me. I decided to apply for teaching in August 2015. To my surprise, there is an option to be a Music teacher! Being someone who loves Music deeply, I would love to teach my passion. After months of praying and waiting finally I received the letter on 11th January 2016! I am accepted by MOE! All praise and glory be to God above! I don't know about tomorrow, but I know who holds tomorrow, who hold my hands! God please help me to be a godly teacher.
