blessed 43rd, singapore! :)

thank God for His goodness and protection on our country for 43 years. as i watched the uniform groups, and the spectacular performance by the courageous black knights, listening to our national anthem, pledge and "this is my country", i was just filled with pride for our nation, yet humbled by God's marvellous grace on our nation all these years, sparing us from natural disasters, terrorists etc and giving us stability and good leaders to govern our country. blessed 43rd birthday, singapore. i'm so glad God made me a singaporean :)


looking as sweet as we can :)

i really thank God for answering our prayers! 9 young ladies (including shelia and i) had our first small group meeting at my home this morning. thank God for mommy who opened our home, and prepared a simple-but-filled-with-much-love lunch (consisting of beehoon, home-made charsiew, chicken curry and otak) for us :)

it was a meaningful time of worship, prayer and much personal sharing. both of us shared our reasons for starting this small group and what we hoped to achieve by God’s grace and had the 7 young ladies pen down and share what they hoped to achieve and/or learn, as well as their idea of a godly woman. we’re very grateful to God for each young lady He brought this morning, for their honesty in sharing, and willingness to bear one another’s burdens by listening and offering to uphold one another in prayer. there were tears shed, but of course, much laughter as well.

it was wonderful to hear some of the young ladies express their excitement about this small group and we’re looking forward to our next meeting, God-willing, at the end of this month :) to God be the glory, great things He hath done!
