Beholding Jesus Christ


Thought of recording my script for Sunday Worship now that I have started to type them down instead of the ancient way of writing down in my note book. I find that it's faster and it's convenient, easier to make amendment with CTL C & V rather than using asterisks and hexes, with arrows flying all over my note!

SO, here it is! This is my notes on worship leading conducted on 18 July 2010. The theme was "Beholding Jesus Christ~" (I thought it would be nice to insert video clips of the songs I led, only if I can find them... yup!)

Greetings:
(1 peter 1 : 1-2) To God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout (Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol, Pasir Ris, Ang Mo Kio, Thomson, Yishun, Serangoon, Sambawang), who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.

Without A Vision the People Perish

Proverbs 29: 18a “Where there is no vision, the people perish”

When you do not have a vision, you perish, lost souls perish and churches perish.
As we gear ourselves up to pray, let’s have a vision for this church, for this nation. Let’s share a dream for this place and for this land.

Chorus 82 – We Have a Vision (Prayer)

Last week I’ve finished reading the book of Jeremiah, altogether 52 chapters. I’ve forgotten how long, or rather, how many years I’ve taken to read from Genesis up to Jeremiah. Maybe 7 years because I started before Tiffany was born. Really, no bluff, but then of course, it’s not speed reading, I read also the Chinese version after the English one, chapter by chapter.

I remember once I sat behind Jaren Teo before the service starts, and he was reading the Bible. So I asked him, "How many times you have read through the Bible?" I think he said, “A few times.”

The Bible is all about JESUS. Jesus is pictured or prophesied about in each of the 66 books, as well as in countless types or in the lives of different characters in the Bible.

My theme today is “Beholding Jesus Christ.”

As I present to you the Jesus in all the 66 books of the Bible, I invite you to behold him, and then to love and worship him with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Amen.

In Genesis, Jesus is the Ram at Abrahams alter.

In Exodus, He’s the Passover Lamb.

In Leviticus, He’s the high Priest.

In Numbers, He’s the Cloud by day

And Pillar of Fire by night.

In Deuteronomy, He’s the City of our refuge.

In Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, He’s our Wisdom.

And in the Song of Solomon, He’s the Beautiful Bridegroom.

-------(Paused for Interpretation)-------

In Isaiah, He’s the Suffering Servant.

In Jeremiah and Lamentations, It is Jesus that is the Weeping Prophet.

In Ezekiel, He’s the Wonderful Four-Faced Man.

And in Daniel He is the Fourth Man in the midst of a fiery furnace.

-------(Paused for Interpretation)-------

In Hosea, He is my Love that is forever faithful.

In Joel, He baptizes us with the Holy spirit.

In Amos, He’s our Burden Bearer.

In Obadiah Our Savior.

And In Jonah, He is the Great Foreign Missionary that takes the Word of God into all of the world.

-------(Paused for Interpretation)-------

And you see in Micah,

He is the Messenger with beautiful feet.

In Nahum, He is the Avenger.

In Habakkuk, He is the Watchman that is ever praying for revival.

-------(Paused for Interpretation)-------

In Zephaniah, He is the Lord mighty to save.

In Haggai He is the Restorer for our lost heritage.

In Zechariah, He is our fountain.

And in Malachi, He is the Son of Righteousness with healing in His wings.

-------(Paused for Interpretation)-------

Let’s arise as we go into the New Testament:

In Matthew, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

In mark, He is the Miracle Worker.

In Luke, He’s the Son of man.

And in John, He is the Door by which everyone of us must enter.

In Titus, He is our Blessed Hope.

In Philemon, He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother.

In Jude, He is the Lord coming with 10,000 saints.

-------(Paused for Interpretation)-------

And in Revelation, Lift up your eyes, Church, for your redemption draweth nigh.

He is King of kings and Lord of lords!!!!!!!

Chorus 178 – No Other Name.


No other name but the name of Jesus
No other name but the name of the Lord
No other name but the name of Jesus
He is worthy of Honour & worthy of Glory
And worthy of Power and of Praise

His Name is exalted high above the earth
His Name is high above the Heavens
His Name is exalted high above the earth
Give Glory & Honour & Praise unto His Name



The Book of Psalm is found in the very center of the Bible. Beholding Jesus in Psalms, I see that He is my Shepherd, and I shall not want.

Brothers and sisters, are you in want? Are you in some form of needs? Healing? Provision? Wisdom? Love? Or just a touch from God?

Whatever your need maybe, come to Jesus, He is your Shepherd. Come to Jesus now and He will make you lie down in green, green pastures.

Come to Jesus; come to the Shepherd of your soul. Then, restoration, guidance, boldness, comfort, victory, anointing, provision, goodness and love are yours to keep for all the days of your life. Hallelujah!

Chorus 238 – You Make Me Lie Down in Green Pastures.


You fill my hunger with honey from your sweet, sweet word-The Holy Bible! O how sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth. When Your words came, I ate them, they are my joy and my heart’s delight.

Brothers and sisters, we who bear the name of the Lord God Almighty, let’s eat and let’s feast on His word like never before. Praise God for His word and for all of you who’re God’s elect! Hallelujah!

You maybe seated and I shall open this time for testimony and God’s word.

Monolingual 17 – Let Praise Arise (Offering)
Let praise arise
In the midst of thee, O Zion
Let the praises of God be in thy mouth
Let praise arise
In the midst of thee, O Zion
Wave His banner forevermore

For He has chosen us to be His people
A royal priesthood who worship Him
Singing praises to the King of ages
Eternal Lord is He
Eternal Lord is He

Let....
Wave His banner forevermore (3x)


And.... it’s a Banner of LOVE~

Chorus 135 – How Excellent is Your Name (Message Proper)


Praise the excellent name of our Lord~

A Loving Father 愛我的天父

Me(the one floating in the air, haha) and my 大姐,Sarah~


Sarah: 嗨,伟芳! 你看,我们的孩子真的是身在福中不知福!

Lydia: Ya loh! At such a young age, they already have their own personal computer, iPhone, iPod, iPad, and all the i...

Sarah: 哎呀,我不是指手机或电脑物质方面的福!

Lydia: Oh, not what you mean? Then, why did you said that they 身在福中不知福?

Sarah: 哪,今天是父亲节,我指的是他们的父亲!

Lydia: Okay... today is Father’s Day, but what made you said that they don't realize how blessed they are?

Sarah: 因为他们的父亲是基督徒呀!打从母胎中,就不断为着他们祷告... 直到今天。真的是身在福中不知福!

Lydia: You are right! Unlike us, they have Christian fathers who pray for them right from the moment they were conceived in their mommy's womb.

Sarah: 虽然说我们的父亲不是基督徒,不能为我们代祷。不过我们还有一位属灵的爸爸,每天为着我们代祷。

Lydia: Oh yes, our pastor! He is our spiritual Papa who prays daily for us. I feel much better now, knowing that at least I have a father who is praying for me everyday.

Sarah: 经你这么说,我也感到很安慰!

Lydia & Sarah (together) : 诶... We have another Father! / 我们还有一位爸爸!

Lydia : Our Heavenly Father!

Sarah: 我们的天父!

Lydia: The greatest Father of all! Who loves not only us, but also our unsaved fathers, because "He so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son!"

Sarah: 今天我们就将这首“爱我们的天父”献给我们至爱的天父,属灵的爸爸(牧师)和天下的爸爸。特别是那些还没得救的爸爸们,有那么一天,能明白父赐给他们是何等的慈爱。

Lydia: Yes. Today we would like to dedicate this song "A loving Father" to our Heavenly Father who loves us, and our spiritual papa - Pastor, and to all the Daddies. Especially for our yet-to-be-saved daddies, that they may know how great is the love the Father has lavished on them.

~A Loving Father 愛我的天父~

I have a loving Father who never gives up on me,
His love's always there to restore me.
Yes, I know He will care for me.
I know He will care for me.

In times of many trials. In times of many fears.
And You never leave nor forsake me.
Yes, I know You will care for me. I know You will care for me.

Draw me closer to Your heart. Embrace me in Your arms.
I will love You my Father. You are my everything.

有位愛我的天父,祂永遠不放棄我,
祂愛的同在使我完全,我深知祂顧念著我,我知祂顧念著我。

在許多危難時刻,在流淚的過程,祢永不離開或丟棄我,
我深知祢顧念著我,我知祢顧念著我。

吸引我貼近祢心,擁抱在祢懷裡,
我愛祢我的天父,祢是我的一切。




Me and my dear sister, Sarah, presented this song on Father's Day. The dialogue you read was our introduction, an idea from my sister who is loaded with "drama cells"(戏剧细胞)。 Thank God that I managed to memorize the whole dialogue, it was no easy-peasy task ok, 死了很多细胞才把它给背熟的! :P

My 2 year-old girl, Thaddea, could sing this song too! When I was practicing the song with the guitar, she would take up her toy microphone and sing along, "I have a loving father~ who never gives up on me~~~" haha, too cute! My three girls are truly blessed to have a daddy who prays for them right from the moment they were conceived. Thank God for answering those prayers. Hallelujah!

1 John 3:1a
Behold, how great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

約 翰 一 書 3 : 1a
你 看 父 赐 给 我 们 是 何 等 的 慈 爱 , 使 我 们 得 称 为 神 的 儿 女..."

从巫启贤原创诗歌《被钉在十字架的祢》写起...


不久前在游揽赞美诗网时,在推荐歌曲中看到排在前头的一首诗歌:《被钉在十字架的祢》,单单歌名就感动了我。看看是哪张专辑时, 竟发现是巫启贤原创诗歌呢!专辑里只有两首歌;《被钉在十字架的祢》 和 《荣耀今看见》。 奇怪了,老巫几时成了信徒阿?听了几遍后,觉得还挺不错的,就下载到手机里好慢慢的欣赏...

被钉在十字架的祢~ 让我心揪着 为祢哭泣
听到祢呼喊着上帝~ 咬着痛苦 说着真理

祢说过不舍不离弃, 为了赦免我让宝血流尽
虽然也有深深的恐惧, 在祢眼神中却只有爱和怜悯
祢说过该成就的事, 是为了成就我们在天上的父亲
虽然还有很多人恨祢, 祢却为了罪人付出了生命

耶稣~ 我爱祢!
耶稣~ 荣耀祢!
敬拜祢~~
因为国度权柄荣耀属于祢!

风中站着发光的祢~ 我满心欢喜 无法言语
祢说祢要飞到天上去~ 将来一定回到这里


巫启贤把主耶稣的死,复活和再来遍了这首好听的歌,唱出了对主的爱和敬拜... 赞!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

两个星期前, 我的一位网友, Clement, 获得两张 Eric Moo 'Moments' 2010 Asia Tour 巫启贤《最初的感动》2010 亚洲巡回演唱会的入门票, 过后写了一篇观后感@KiNiGu,从那得知巫启贤的一头白发竟是自然色, 觉得好惊讶哦!这二十多年来他都必须把头发染黑? 太不可思议了!

读了网友的长篇观后感, 使我想要知道更多关于巫启贤的事, 所以就在网上收寻, 真的让我找到他信主的见证!好有能力的见证啊!!在这 “cut & paste” 与大家分享~

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

取自主内网



一首福音歌词。若说作词作曲者不是其他熟悉的福音歌手,而是巫启贤,你是否感到惊讶?12月5日晚(2009)他在吉隆坡全备福音堂有一场“12月的星光”布道会。信主才1年的他,走上台,就闭上眼睛以“使徒信经”祷告:“我信上帝,全能的父,创造天地的主;我信我主耶稣基督,上帝的独生子……我信身体复活;我信永生。阿们”。他竟把整篇信仰宣告熟记念出,一字不漏!

巫启贤信主耶稣后表示,他过去走遍世界各地,人生经历比常人丰富,没有人能左右他相信什么。“不是我去找他(耶稣),是他先敲我的门。我现在才知道,过去我是多么心硬、背叛,主耶稣才是道路、真理和生命。”他在台上就一面唱歌,一面向听众分享。

“我曾以为,我没学作曲,却能写歌,我的歌声令许多人感动,我的吉他学3个月,就自己开班挣钱,就很了不起。这些成了我今生的骄傲。我认识主后,我才知道自己何德何能,拥有这些常人没有的才华,都是主所赐!”领悟到“一切来自主”的道理,傲气没有了,他心中惟有感恩。

他提起去年音乐制作人马兆骏在台湾去世的事。对这位基督徒挚友的骤逝,他感到很难过。他赶到太平间时,遇到马氏遗孀朱比(Juby)。她对他说:“你是他最要好的朋友,求你把他叫醒好吗?”当时,他前所未有地感受到人生命的脆弱、无助和无力,他实在无法叫一个死去的人起死回生。他就行了他有能力做的,开了一张支票交给朱比。另一方面,他也感受到一种特别的气氛:教会的弟兄姐妹都来到现场帮忙、安慰、组织,让所有的事情有条不紊地进行,让悲伤的家属得到安慰和人情温暖。 神的大爱与恩典在人哀伤无助时显得格外珍贵!

去年3月,他人在北京,接到太太的电话:6月大的女儿在家玩,忽然整个人抽筋,趴在地上就没有反应。太太送女儿进院,医生救了过来,她仍然呼吸,却没有反应。医生作脑电波扫描、验血,作了所有该做的检验也查不出任何病因。他心中焦急,立刻买了机票飞去香港,转机台北看女儿。然而,到了机场,却传来香港有暴风雨,飞机无法降落的消息。他只好折回北京市区,当时想起一位姓陈的制作人,曾多次约他不果,索性就约他见面。谈话中,得知对方也认识马兆骏。他不经意提到马兆骏是基督徒。这位姓陈的朋友透露他也是基督徒,陈太是牧师,还到各地为人作医治祷告,那天她恰好在北京。想到在台北的女儿,他就要求安排陈太为女儿祷告求医治,他们就约见了。

陈太问他:“你是孩子的爸爸,你不是信徒,但你愿不愿意为你的女儿作你人生的第一个祷告?”

“我当然愿意。”

“好!你要诚心诚意,心里相信上帝,来为你的女儿祷告。”

他生平第一次祷告记得最清楚——为女儿的生命!

陈太同时把消息发出去,让世界各地的代祷者一同为他的女儿祷告。太太后来打电话来说:“真奇妙!今晚马兆骏的遗孀带了7位弟兄姐妹到我家来,为我女儿祷告。” 两天后,女儿醒过来。医生表示不明白为何她此刻醒了。他告诉医生说:“医生,那是祷告啊!” 福音的种子撒下、萌芽:他和太太开始考虑要信主。

不久,他再次去北京工作,因演出而在某城市过夜。那时,他已经开始读圣经。当晚却发生一桩怪事:大约凌晨两三点,他趴在床上时,突然发现整张床非常剧烈地抖动,感觉好象许多人在床上跳动般。他极力证明自己不是在做梦后,心想:“我长到这么大,终于碰到鬼了!”他非常害怕,就双手握拳,念过去所学的咒语。也不知念了多久,震动消失了。他好一阵子不动,确定鬼真的不在了,就赶快开灯,拿起床头的圣经来看。他一翻开,就看到一行经文,意思非常清楚:信主之前,魔鬼必来诱惑。“我后来想通了:魔鬼派小鬼来吓我。魔鬼希望我相信咒语,不必相信上帝。它要左右我的视线,诱惑我远离上帝。我没有上当!”

第二天,他打电给太太;“过两天后我回来,我们受洗吧!”

*依靠主成功戒烟*
他今年4月来到吉隆坡,与一些教会牧者聊了两晚,互相交流作见证。当时,他还在抽烟。“我从21岁起就抽烟,这问题多年一直困扰着我。后来,我每天要抽两包烟,抽到连自己都厌恶。我在家也抽,虽然我躲开太太和女儿,在远处的角落抽。我觉得自己很自私:不了解不抽烟者闻到烟味的难过和辛苦,家人成了二手烟的受害者!我也曾尝试戒烟,却太软弱,戒不成。”他坦言。当时,一位刘弟兄鼓励他:“你现在信主了,何不祈求天父助你戒烟?你是初信,说不定天父特别疼你呢。”他就祷告,求上帝解烟瘾。“说也奇怪,从那天起一直到今天,我一根烟也没有再抽!”妻子对他的转变和祷告的力量也惊喜不已。女儿还抱着他说:“爸爸,你好香,过去你臭得要命!”主耶稣为这家还原了一个“香爸爸”!

他曾在一首歌这么唱:“爱与不爱都需要勇气,于是我们都选择了逃避… 虽然你是我的最初、最后与唯一。”那么绝对的字眼肯定纯属巧合?或是他过去将一直逃避上帝的挣扎寄情于歌?无论如何,这些挣扎已经告一段落。他找到了他生命中最大的喜乐。

的确,真是一个好见证,荣耀归神!

后来发现当中的 video 其实是一个节目里的片段, 所以我在 youtube 找到这个“心靈不打烊~巫啟賢“ 的精彩节目。 哇~~ 能够在读了有关他的故事后, 听听他亲口见证上帝的真实, 我实在是太高兴了!!整个节目 1hr23min16sec 我都是全神贯注地看和听,从他的头发,到他初到台湾,到认识上帝,间中还有演唱一些经典歌曲(有我喜欢的”至少还有你“!),整个节目真的让我非常非常的感动!节目尾声他唱了另一首原创诗歌 《荣耀今看见》, 我说呀,他的吉他是弹得好好听呢!啊,太感动了啦!!请你一定一定一定要看哦~~~


内容:本週邀請的來賓,紅遍兩岸三地,在台灣更是無人不知他的名字,所演唱的歌曲也是大家能夠哼唱幾句的紅歌星,他是-巫啟賢。 巫啟賢,一個響噹噹的名號,可是初到台灣時並不是一切都如此順利,來台宣傳三次,最後一次竟是在飛機上蒙頭痛哭,但是熱愛音樂的他,選擇不放棄,仍舊持續邁向音樂之路,終於讓他走出一片自己的天空。 走紅之後,卻也發生不少事情,直到認識上帝,生命的改變深深的影響他,他也為上帝譜曲,為上帝所用,在心靈不打烊節目中,巫啟賢也一一訴說,上帝如何拯救醫治他的女兒,也翻轉巫啟賢的生命,節目內容精彩,不容錯過。

我看了节目后除了感动之外, 还是感动。上帝从来都没放弃过我们,在我们还没认识祂之前,甚至在我们拒绝祂之后, 祂都一直在保守着我们,疼爱着我们,温柔的引领我们归回祂的爱里。我对我老爸的救恩,现在是充满着希望。我常常祷告求上帝开我爸爸的眼睛,看到上帝就是宇宙万物的创造主。求上帝敲粹我爸爸的石头心,让他打开心门来接受主耶稣成为他灵魂的救主。 我常常跟爸爸说;“ 信耶稣,得永生!" 我相信总有一天,爸爸一定会信主!我也相信我的亲戚,朋友,同事和老板,都要在上帝美好的时间里来信主!Amen! :)

这是巫启贤在留他的自然白的头发时,做评委时戴帽子遮“羞”的照片:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

另一个我所看的是巫启贤在佈道會里唱了三首歌和短短的分享,你可以跳过前两首歌,从09:00看他短短的分享和唱“叫阮的名“, 到18:00时可看到他的漂亮的太太。 都很感动,叫我都同他流出了眼泪呢~~ 从38:00开始, 布永康牧師分享上帝的信息,鼓励您听一听这能改变您生命的信息~



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

好啦, 最后加上这首我在就读义安理工学院时最最最喜欢的巫启贤唱的“我爱你” :D



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

一直都很喜欢巫启贤的歌, 很喜欢巫启贤的歌声, 现在更喜欢这么一个全新的巫启贤~

这是取自网友在7月9日演唱会拍的其中一张我最喜欢照片:



我深深的被这全新的巫启贤感动了~

为这生命的改变,灵魂的得救,感谢赞美主耶稣基督!

約翰福音3:16
「 神 爱 世 人 , 甚 至 将 祂 的 独 生 子 赐 给 他 们 , 叫 一 切 信 祂 的 , 不 至 灭 亡 , 反 得 永 生 。」

歌林多前書3:6-7
「我 栽 种 了 , 亚 波 罗 浇 灌 了 , 惟 有 神 叫 他 生 长 。可 见 栽 种 的 , 算 不 得 甚 麽 , 浇 灌 的 , 也 算 不 得 甚 麽 ; 只 在 那 叫 他 生 长 的 神 。」

You are the one Singapore!

We were at CompassPoint last week and there was a made-aware promotion on Youth Olympic Games. Counters were set up for children to try their hands on different games like Table Tennis, Soccer, Basketball, Fencing and Handball.

Theophila was so brave to try out Fencing. Tiffany and my 2YO toddler, Thaddea, tried playing Handball!

Watch them in actions:



Look what I found on the internet when I searched for Handball games:

A super-cool picture of women-handball games in real action!

The TV, you can see it in the Video I took of my girls playing handball, was constantly playing the YOG Cheer - You Are The One Singapore, which I think is quite catchy for a cheer... OH YEAH, OH YEAH, OH YEAH, HEY! :D



All the Best to Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games! Blazing the Trail 14-26 August 2010.


1 Corinthians 9:25-27
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Sarah-Cat*

Received these pictures of cat via MSM from my dear sister(大姐), Sarah, and that was in August last year!







I still remembered that I've got to retrieve them from M1 website as my mobile was not able to view. Altogether 6 beautiful pictures of mostly tabby cats.

A tabby is a cat with a distinctive coat that features stripes, dots, or swirling patterns, usually together with an "M" mark on its forehead.

I renamed each picture as sarah-cat1 to sarah-cat6.jpg... I know she definitely love to own one. You see, the place where we spend our childhood has many such cats and we love playing with them. I still remembered once we found two cute kittens at our void deck and begged our parents to let us keep the kittens as pets, but they cruelly said no. We then secretly kept the kitten at a small power-station(!) near our home, we put them in a cardboard box placed side-way as their home, put in some rags to keep them warm at night, and a bowl of water to quench their thirst... we even sneaked out in the evening with some rice and fish secretly saved from our dinner for the kittens to eat... but by the next day, those two kittens had wondered away and were nowhere to be found! :(

Thinking about this remind me of what Jesus said in John 14 that He had gone to prepare a place for us, and that He is coming back to bring us Home... I pray that before Christ's Return, I would not wonder away from this Blessed Hope. God helps me! :)

John 14:1-6
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

Jesus the Way to the Father
Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

Revelation 21:5
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

What(Who) is LOVE?


Love is patient.

Love is kind.

It does not envy.

It does not boast.

It is not proud.

It is not rude.

It is not self-seeking.

It is not easily angered.

It keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil

But rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,

Always trusts,

Always hopes,

Always perseveres.

Love never fails.


(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)


JESUS CHRIST

is

LOVE

personified

Every Move I Make

I've had this awesome thought of how my heart would beat without any assistance, no power supply or battery operating, but it beats alright. And because it beats, blood carrying oxygen is being pump into all my organs so I am still kicking(alive). Now, who keeps my heart beating??? None other than my Creator God, for in Him I live and move and have my being! Praise God!! :)

Tell me who make these teeny weenie hearts pump....

No clue?

Our Creator God, of course~ :)*Philip took these pics at our rooftop garden

The children from the upper primary of the Children's Church Sunday School presented a very lively worship song: Every Move I Make.

At the start of the music, everyone was like "Wow... so hot!". Okay, maybe that's just me, haha! It has been a long, long time since there's such a lively, fast beat song being presented in our church. Even my little 2-year-old couldn't resist joining in the dance moves! The dance choreographer, Sarah Tan, had to literally drag Thaddea out, and of course, she cried so loud in protest! I was like, "OH NO! Please don't ruin the presentation!" I held her so tight in my arms and "dance" to the music on the spot at a corner trying to distract her, hehehe... We all enjoyed the presentation~

I'd like to think that the children did very well, remembering the steps and all. And thank you, Sarah Tan, for getting them to do this. May God continue to make you an inspiration!

Look out for my 2-year-old barging in at 0:14 and then cried the loudest, haha! :P



I went home singing "na-na, na-na-na-na-na..." in my head for many days! Then I went on Youtube to look for this song, there are so many clips of people dancing to this song! I found one which I like the best, watch the lady dancing with such gusto! And watch again the uncle dancing next to her, very cute!



I like the part which looks like they were "brushing off bugs from their heads" at 0:15, so cute! haha!! :)

Lyrics:
Every move I make I make in You, (You make me move Jesus)
Every Breath I take I Breath in You
Every step I take I take in You, (You are my way Jesus)
Every Breath I take I Breath in You
Chorus:
Waves of Mercy Waves of Grace
Everywhere I Look, I See Your Face
Your Love has captured Me
Oh My God this Love, How can it Be!

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (x4)


Acts 17:24-29
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'


"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by man's design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man(Jesus Christ) he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."

Ezra's Wish Party

Say if you are given a wish, what would you wish for? Well, I would wish to be given more wishes to make, he-he-he! :D


We were being invited to Ezra's Wish Party organized by Make*A*Wish Singapore

Ezra, by now is a charming 9-year-old(8+, to be exact), has victoriously gone through a year of chemotherapy, and now onto his maintenance phase. I wrote about how Ezra was diagnosed with first stage Leukemia in one of my post Not for Us Only... back in October last year.

When Make*A*Wish people came to Ezra and asked him what did he wish for, these were what he wished for:

1. To be a (successful) businessman.
2. To ride in a Lamborghini.
3. To play lots of games and win many prizes.
4. To be a Pilot.

Hey hey, that's more than a wish, haha! 5 wishes to be exact because Ezra wanted to open his own shop and sell things too as a businessman.

WOW! WOW! WOW! We were very impressed how Make*A*Wish people fulfilled every-single-wish of Ezra... to the point of flying a plane!

First, they tailor-made for him a business suit. Then on Wish Day, he went to "his" newly open Roti-Prata shop and then to "his" Car Showroom where he "closed" a deal worth US$1 million dollars... then, Ezra was given a ride in a Lamborghini before being sent to Suntec City Convention hall for his party... cool!! See the following video clip for the full story:



Can you see Ezra in "his" Lamborghini??

Ahh... that's better!

*Waves*

The youngest successful businessman & his Lamborghini~(Wish #1 & 2)

See Uncle Chris buzzing off...


Make*A*Wish flags

Poster outside the Party Room

Ezra's Wish Party!

Happy Wish Day, Ezra!

Interviewed by the "press" and giving out his "name cards"

Ezra's collections!

There were Wii and racing cars games.(Wish #3)


The party ended with Ezra winning many BIG prizes from the racing games, his little friends were in total awe as they kept hearing the announcement that "Ezra has won again!"



Ezra's thankyou speech and a song special;


Wish #4 was fulfilled on the following weekend when Ezra would fly a stimulated airplane! How cool~

I am very thankful to God for blessing Ezra with this Wish Party. What a memorable day Ezra's Wish Day was!

Thank God for Make*A*Wish Singapore! The fact that they didn't just fulfilled one of the 5 wishes that Ezra made even though it was suppose to be "Make A wish".

Thank God for all the sponsors(Temasek Holdings and some other which I didn't get it, but am truly grateful!) who made this event possible!

Thank God for all the wonderful volunteers! Their dedication is amazing!

The following Sunday after his maiden flight(as a pilot), Ezra, dressed in his business suit(which was given to him FOC), gave glory to God during Sunday Service in church.



We prayed through that one whole year of Ezra receiving treatments for his ALL condition. We have a Prayer Band in our church where we would receive SMS on prayer requests of members who need emergency prayer support. I have lost track of how many times the Prayer Band was activated to pray for Ezra, but I do remember some of the requests were quite frightening at times if not heart-breaking... beside the usual side effects of being nausea, vomiting, having poor appetite, there were occasions when Ezra had high fever(increased risk of infection caused by white cell abnormalities) and he cannot be given paracetamol(Panadol) because he has an allergy to it. So, imagine you having high fever and nothing you could take to lower the fever, nothing to relief your pain and nothing to ease your aches!

There were life-threatening occasions too when Ezra's blood platelets count drop to the lowest of the lowest... But, PRAISE BE TO GOD who heard and answered our earnest prayer for this little boy and preserved his precious life!

The most heart breaking to me was when we were called to pray for a procedure where a chest tube is inserted into Ezra's pleural space permanently for the administration of chemo treatments.... What can I say, thank God for seeing Ezra through every-single-day for the past year!

God will definitely carry Ezra in His Mighty Arms and bring him through this year - the last phase of his treatment. We are praying for a complete deliverance from blood cancer for Ezra. We are believing God for His complete healing touch upon Ezra Lim! Amen! And Amen!!

An extract from Tong Hak's(Ezra's mummy) testimony - Forever Grateful:

"Though this journey was tough, with much pain and tears, but with Christ in the vessel, we can sail and smile at the storm. With much loss, too, (financially, emotionally, socially, mentally and physically) - but nothing compared to the gain that we have achieved.

He increases our faith in Him.
He brings us to a greater height in our trusting Him.
He strengthens us emotionally and mentally.
He provides our finance.
His continual shower of grace and mercy has taught us how to praise and thank Him even more.
He enriches our life experiences.

Once again, "Forever grateful, forever thankful to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!" "


Psalm 103:1-6
Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

Overflow With Hope

I Will Carry You: The Sacred Dance of Grief and Joy

If you have been reading my blog from the beginning, you may have read this post "I Will Carry You".

Angie Smith, a mother who discovered at 20 weeks that her baby Audrey would not survive, chose to carry her to full term and gave birth to her, only to lose her shortly after 2 1/2 hours....

Angie, her husband, Todd and baby Audrey

She wrote a book on her grief, and most unbelievably, her joy too. You can get her book now @ amazon.com!

Ever since I found her blog Bring the Rain, I have been checking back and to my pleasant surprise, she is DUE for another child!

What actually makes me write this post is her recent entry: PERMISSION TO HOPE. Please click on that to read and do look out for the picture at the end of her post!! ;)

An amazing piece of sharing, God gave her courage and permission to hope that the little life in her right now at 10 weeks, is going to make it! Amen!!

Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may Overflow With Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.


I have always love this song written by Angie Smith for her baby, Audrey Caroline. And the video featuring memories of the life of baby Audrey:



I Will Carry You

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?

People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says...

I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen Me
To carry you


Job 1:21
"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I shall depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."


And I will praise the One Who's chosen me... to carry you...

芳心之弦

是先有鸡呢,还是先有蛋?答案很简单:是先有鸡!因为起初,神创造天地和其中的活物...

創世記 1:24-25
神说 :地要生出活物来,各从其类;牲畜、昆虫、地上的野兽,各从其类。事就这样成了
於是 神造出野兽,各从其类;牲畜,各从其类;地上一切昆虫,各从其类。 神看着是好的。


你是否有留意到我的博络格多了个华文名?

~芳心之弦~

如何... 赞吧?!:)

其实是先有“芳心之弦”的。当时被邀为教会华文部的《吗哪月刊》投稿,在投第三回时,主篇建议在月刊里为我设立一个固定的小角落好让我定期分享,所以我就取了这名。 那,“芳”呢,是我的名嘛,“芳心之弦”就指触动我心弦的事。可惜当我取了这名后,却再也没有投稿了。。。 其实,我是有东西要分享的,只是没时间完成每一篇。真是可悲!

前后只投了“三件事”和“芳弦之猫”, 而那些写了一半就放弃的就有“芳弦之死”,“芳弦之信主”和“芳弦之神迹奇事”!

唉~~

后来要开始写博络格时,因为是以英文为主,所以就把这宝贝名字译成“Strings of My Heart”。

Strings 嘛,是指音乐器材的弦,比如六弦琴,手提琴,竖琴及二胡,都是我喜欢的 String Instruments! 弦的长短,粗细,通过不同的按法,用弹的或拉的,把一个个动听的音符编制成一首首动听的歌... 有轻快的,有忧伤的,也有激动的!

希望能借这博络格把所有触动我心思的事一一分享。

因为现在想要偶尔用华语写写博络格,所以就把原有的名给放上去。

就这样咯~

Maru!!


I've always like this quote:

"God made the cat to give man the pleasure of petting the tiger." ~~Fernand Mery

If you haven't know me yet: I LOVE CATS!

Sorry for shouting, hehe! I really, really think cats are the coolest animal God ever created! Since I was a little girl, I like to play with the strayed cats in our void deck, pet their heads and tickle the chins, play "catching" with their tails while they sleep!

I don't understand how some of you are afraid of cats, haha!

Now that I'm a grown-up, and know that strayed cats are actually dirty as they sleep everywhere they go, I seldom pet them anymore... I even stop my girls from touching them :P

I do hope to meet someone who keep cats as pets... so I can always visit them and play with their cats!

I have been visiting this blog created by a Japanese girl who has a pet cat named Maru. He is a Scottish Fold and he is so, so cute! He likes to play, sleep and play some more! And just like my friend, ANgie, he has just published his very First Book, Title: "I am Maru."


He is so COOL~

I found this blog in early April and was glued to it! There is update almost everyday which I totally enjoy! The owner has also started to put in English subtitles for the readers. The little dialogue which she posted with all the fun pictures of Maru has always made my day! Just like this one:

ぴったりですよ。
This is fit for me!


Also, you get to see videos of Maru in actions! And my favourite of them all is this:


"I like Maru's folded forefoot before jumping."

Too cute!!! Oooooooh, he is quite a popular guy and got himself a trophy of YouTube Video Awards Japan 2008!

The trophy~

I shan't write any further... just go check him out: MARU

"Umm.. why not?"


Genesis 1:24-25
And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

I Will Be Here

Philip, remember this song "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman?

12 years ago, today, you told me that you actually secretly practiced this song and wanted to sing for me on our wedding day... but you were not confident enough and instead, played the song on CD when we marched in for our dinner reception... Thank you, Philip, I was touched and still am... the fact that you had this thought of doing something for me and the fact that you had tried, I'm touched!

This song just melt my heart, I know that you mean ever word of this song, even till now.

12 years of marriage, you have always been here for me, even when the laughter turns to crying during my darkest moments; through the winning, losing, and trying, we have been together, you have always been here for me, thank you for loving me(it's not so easy, I know... :P) and I love you too :)

As sure as seasons are made for change, our lifetimes are made for years. Give us another 12 years, and I know that we'll still be together... 'cause you will be here.

I thank God for you, Philip - my dear, dear husband :)

Found this video uploaded by a mom dedicating the song to her children, the pictures are so beautiful! Except that it ended abruptly which might be a little distasteful to you who dislike abrupt ending of any song, hehe :P Anyway, it's still very nice~ enjoy!



Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here.

If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
'Cause I will be here.

CHORUS
I will be here when you feel like being quiet;
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying;
Through the winning, losing, and trying, we'll be together,
'Cause I will be here.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.

As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I will be here.

CHORUS
I will be here, so you can cry on my shoulder;
When the mirror tells us we're older, I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me;
I will be here.

I will be true to the promise I have made,
To you and to the One who gave you to me.

As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I, I will be here.

We'll be together and I will be here.


I found another clip which embedding was disabled by the user, he dedicated this song to God. The interesting thing is, he uploaded pictures of benches, read BENCHES, many-different-types-of-benches, for the entire song!

Reminds me of the benches I placed in my FarmTown Maze Garden, haha!

I have always wanted to walk with you in the park, sitting on the benches, basking in the sun, listening to the bird singing, watching the ducks in the pond, and talking till the sun sets! Maybe we can do that when "the mirror tells us we're older" and when Mrs. Empty-Nest-Syndrome comes knocking on our door, haha!

Do click and watch it here: I Will Be Here by Gary Valenciano - Benches!!

Blessed 12th Wedding Anniversary!Luv you~


Our wedding verse: Song of songs 8:7
"Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned."

妈妈的宝贝

今天无意中在听赞美诗网推荐的专辑“鲜声来了”的时候,被这首超感动的歌“妈妈的宝贝”给吸引住,重复听了好几回,听得我眼角都湿湿的。。。

歌里有一段很美的词:

宝贝,可知道你的,你的眼泪
是我一生中最大的幸福伤悲


这段歌词让我想到我的三个宝贝女儿, 当我看见她们开心的笑容时,我的确感到十二万分的幸福!而当我看到她们伤心流泪或生病时,我就会感到心好疼啊~

嗯,来个幸福的确据, 就拿昨晚来说吧:
Tiffany 在面包片中央咬了个小圈圈,非常的兴奋!而当我要帮她和面包拍照留念时,Theophila 跳进来凑热闹, 还比了个“得胜”的手势。

哈!哈!

其实,Theophila 当时正发着高烧且肚子疼,疑是患了stomach flu... 之前还在学校把刚吃进肚子里的蛋糕(同学生日)给吐出来。。。从照片里看不出她生病吧!感谢耶稣的医治,今早已完全好了。:)

前几晚和小宝贝 Thaddea 读(玩)一个“躲猫猫”(peek-a-boo)的玩具小册,她超喜欢的!在最后一页 Piglet 的“BOO!" 时,她就会放声大笑, 可真是超级无敌可爱啊!!



我是幸福的咯!感谢主!!

Psalm 127:3
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.

詩篇 127:3
儿 女 是 耶 和 华 所 赐 的 产 业;所 怀 的 胎 是 他 所 给 的 赏 赐 。



这首歌也让我想到我的妈妈。歌的最后一段是我好想对她说的:

我会一直爱你,永远的爱你
爱我的,疼我的妈妈

我的母亲超疼爱我了!当然啦,她也疼姐,妹妹和弟弟,这是毫无疑问的。不过,在这就拿疼我的来说吧:

一次聚餐,因为我必须喂宝宝吃麦片,而无法动手吃大闸蟹。妈妈就帮我选了一个大闸蟹夹子, 说要帮我去壳,无情的我却对她说 “不用了, 不敢吃你的口水!”妈妈马上说“放心,我只用手剥。”随即就用尽全身的力气,又敲又打又用锤子砸,当中还不小心把爸爸的茶水杯子给打翻,弄湿了桌布和爸爸的裤子,还得麻烦侍应生把地拖干。。。好不容易除去大夹子的壳,把肥滋滋的蟹夹子肉递到我眼前, 哇~~~ 你说,我怎么能不感动呢?! 打开大嘴, 咻!一声把肥蟹肉给吞进肚子里,间中才咀嚼了两下下。心想妈妈在剥壳之前是否有舔了舔自己的手指。。若有的话,那这蟹肉不就沾满妈妈的口水?! 啊~~ 我太没良心了,亏妈妈那么的疼我,我还嫌她不卫生!我太不懂得感恩了 :P

聚餐照片:老爸,老妈,和阿boy

照片里的妈妈并不是不开心,她的脸一直都是这样“臭”的,每每朋友见到她,都会说我妈妈很凶,但是她并不凶哦, 只是不常挂着笑脸 :/ 看她小盘子里一堆的蟹壳吗?那就是妈妈疼我的证据咯。呵呵!

谢谢你,妈妈。我爱你!

Ephesians 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— "that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."

以弗所書6:1-2
你 们 作 儿 女 的 , 要 在 主 里 听 从 父 母 , 这 是 理 所 当 然 的 。 要 孝 敬 父 母 , 使 你 得 福 , 在 世 长 寿 。 这 是 第 一 条 带 应 许 的 诫 命 。


就让我把这首歌献给我的三个宝贝 和 我的妈妈



演唱者朱小山的声音好好听。曲优,词美,充满爱的一首好歌!值得听了再听~ 想重复的听这首歌?那么就学我点击这里:



赞美诗网也提供了“ 媽媽的寶貝(My Baby)” 的創作背景!
製作人 拾雨 詞/曲/朱小山
演唱 朱小山&佳音兒童合唱團 (蕭佳欣 蕭佳琪 安藤聖峻 張仲彣)

2004年初春,當我正在學校琴房練琴時,一位學妹得知我會些許簡單的創作,跑來找我,她說:「我的媽媽,生了很嚴重的病,她似乎隨時都會離開我,可否幫我寫一首唱給媽媽聽的歌。」學妹寫了一封十多頁給媽媽的信,在那堆疊濃厚情感的文字中,我看見學妹的媽媽曾說:「女兒呀,我親愛的小寶貝,妳可知道妳的笑妳的眼淚,是我一生中最大的幸福和傷悲…」上天所賜予人類這份偉大的母愛,令人為之動容。屬於此首歌的畫面,油然而生。

這首歌完成後,不只安慰了學妹與她母親的心,同時也安慰著我。

我的媽媽有一個百寶盒,那裡面有她最喜歡髮飾、原住民傳家的手環,以及她的結婚戒指。我曾問媽媽:「媽媽,妳最寶貝的是哪一件飾品呢?」媽媽在盒子裡翻了又翻、找了又找,最後拿出一個塑膠作成的手環。「哈哈哈!」我咯咯地笑了出來。「媽,這不是我小時後我送給妳的禮物嗎?」我不好意思地問著,媽媽看著我、手握住那塑膠的手環,回答我說:「寶貝,這是我最寶貝的禮物。」剎那間,我才發現,我是媽媽最寶貝的寶貝。

謹以此首作品,獻給每一位偉大的母親,以及每一位媽媽的寶貝們。謝謝我可愛的母親,以及疼我照顧我長大的已故外婆、祖母、啞巴奶奶,歌詞的最後一句,也是我的真摯回應。



宝贝,宝贝,不要怕
即使人生路途坎坷
我也会陪在你的左右
并轻轻对你说

一千遍爱你
一万遍爱你
爱哭的(Theophila),爱笑的(Tiffany & Thaddea)宝贝

我会一直爱你
永远的爱你
爱我的,疼我的妈妈

I LOVE groceries shopping!

I dislike the fact that I have less than an hour to get it done, plus carrying heavy FairPrice plastic bags in both hand, though.

98% of the stuff I get are all for my lovely girls, and I guess you know which 2% is for Daddy and Mommy – me.

Once a week I’ll have to make a trip to NTUC FairPrice which is about 5 minutes walk from my office, rain or shine, hot or cold, without fail. Sometimes I may need to make 2 or 3 trips there!

No complaint. I'm SO loving it! Ooooooooooh, the purpose of this post are these:




Check out the plane!
Love the clouds!

Aren't they awesome?? I saw those beautiful sun rays while walking back to the office after my grocery shopping. I had to put down the bags of groceries on the pavement in order to take these pictures... so glad I captured it! :)

I love looking up into the sky. I got really excited when I see the sun bursting through the clouds! I've forgotten how many pictures I took of such sighting.. and it always ring a "song" in my mind :)



I was so glad to find this on YouTube, it has sooooooooo many nice pictures of the sun behind the clouds with rays shining forth.. awesome!

Even when you feel dark and gloomy, the sun above the clouds is always shinning. It never changes.

God never changes! He is Faithful and True! God's love for us is great, higher than the heavens and deeper than the ocean! Praise the awesome God!

Psalm 108:4
For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
