tale as old as time

I watched Beauty and the Beast on the bus on my student's laptop. I was 9 when I first saw the show! Really forgot most of the plot, the talking candle holder, clock, the songs, and even how Belle looks!

Simply brings back childhood days..

Also reminded me not to judge the book by its cover. How often I see things on the outside only, neglecting its true worth inside..

praying in a taxi stand

On Monday, some RP students and I had dinner at Plaza Sing and because it was too noisy one of them suggested that we go out to pray. He said he knew a quiet place nearby and so we followed him. After walking about 5-10min, we reached a small taxi stand which was wet because of the rain...and we stood and prayed for one another. It was a fresh experience of prayer.. I haven't prayed in a taxi stand before, except when I needed patience in the long queue haa.. Well, that's something I'll remember whenever I'm in a taxi stand I guess:)

pray!

“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying.

We have many organizers, but few agonisers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers, many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion, many interferers, few intercessors; many writers but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.” - Leonard Ravenhill, 'Why Revival Tarries'

'Hesed' way of life

After Women's Conference, I ran a fever and a Gen 12II meeting at the same time. Thank God the fever is gone now and the meeting was fruitful! I learnt many precious lessons from the lives of close to 200 women at the conference. We heard from many inspiring women-Judy Douglas, Andrea Buczynski, and Dr Kim who expounded on the book of Ruth-another woman whom I had learnt much from. In the bible, Ruth was a Moabite whom clung on to her mother-in-law Naomi. She believed in and served Yah Weh. She lived a life of 'Hesed'- Loving Kindness- and one aspect of it is living life beyond and above what is expected. It inspires me to know that I can live life "surpassingly." One area that comes to mind in living "surpassingly" is that of missions. I'm going to Laos this March, along with 6 other young and fun-loving Poly students and 3 other adults. As time nears, and support raising gets tougher, my heart gets more excited but also more fearful. Will ...
