My journey is all about vision, about seeing the invisible future. The promise that God will give to our next generation.

I have the strength to travel the long and winding road is all because I have a vision for tomorrow.

I have confidence that the promises of God be fulfilled because I wanted to make a legacy more than just living for Him.

I made up my mind to owe the promises of God for our next generation to enjoy.

I made up my mind not to let my past consumed me but my dreams and vision .

So I will continue my journey of the long and winding road faithfully with Him.

Thank you God for your Grace.

Shannon is 14 months now, starting to walk. We all enjoy watching her how she wobbles and would clapped her hands after a few steps! If she did fall, we tried to catch her and if she did fall down, we hold up and encouraged her to walk again. She is such an adorable granddaughter to have and would never give up in the things she does. I learn a lot from her.

Walking on the path of the long and winding road is much like Shannon who is learning to walk.

Some days will be smooth and success will be our joy, but some days will be days of distress, hours of hindrances, minutes of misunderstandings, and seconds of stumblings.

Since the road is long and winding, with lots of unexpected turns, there will always be times we fall, sometimes because of overconfidence and sometimes because of lack of discipline.

But no matter how we fall , which we will, do not let bitterness and the mistakes be centered around the fall, but instead rise up and continue to focus at the excitment of the journey.

Falling is not a failure but a chance to let God work through us to build us to be extraordinary people for His Kingdom.

Life is but a long and winding road, sometimes it easy but most times challenging.

It has been quite a few months of new changes and do I find it exciting?
At most times I would have said it's exciting because God raised up enemies and obstacles on my way to raise me to be a better person.

Do I get accused of things that I have not done? Oh yes! a lot but I have no hard feelings because I was taught by my Father to forgive.

Do I get encouraged when things went well? Not much because I know I always get it from my Father.

Am I confuse with things around me? Yes, a lot of times , but my Father knows all things and He knows my heart.

Am I to continue the long and winding road? Oh yes! because that's what my Father has prepare for me and has promise to walk beside me.

Synergy

A winning team will always produce synergy.-
"Synergy " = A creation of a new energy from true friendship within the team.

True friendship is exciting because you don't quite know what exactly is going to happen or where it will lead.
True friendship can be at times exhausting and exhilarating,
but it can open new possibilities, new trails, new adventures, new territories.

True friendship in a team who is under the authority of God and His Word produce synergy to empower and unify a strong winning team!

Father, we are made for relationship, not isolation. Help us as leaders to understand this principle of synergy and how it can work in Glory kids and discovery Club to the extension of Your Kingdom.
In Jesus' Mighty Name we pray. Amen.

The fusion of friendship

"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecc. 4: 12.

That's the power of team spirit, I truelly pray for a team to rise up again.

Lord, I need Your joy and hope in my heart

Dear Lord, I come to You with a humble heart,
grateful for all You have done for me,
Thank you that You are a God who gave me more than I deserve.
Thank you that You are a God who sent people to love me
I ask that You will lift the sadness and heaviness of heart from me today,
and cause Your joy to rise in my heart again.
let Your joy so increase in me that it crowds out all else that is negative.
Heal the broken places in my soul,
and restore what has been lost,
so that I can move into the wholeness You have for me.

In Jesus name I pray. AMEN

Time to leave

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:34:08 GMT

It's time to say goodbyes again, the most painful time of the year.
A mixed feelings of sadness and pride cos my leaders are matured enough to leave the nest.
To soar with wings as eagles riding on the thermal of His Spirit.

Abraham: Sharon; Darryl; Yvonne; Cheryl; Edbert; Brigitte; Natalie; Jeremy; Brian and lastly my dear Sam. Yes, and 2 more later on, Grace and Kevin.

Wow! my! so many this year!
Sad as some have grown up with me since they are born, couldn't believe my eyes how time flies.

I remember Natalie, as young as 2 years old , coming to me every sunday, pulling my dress n pointing her little fingers to her own dress, waiting for me to tell her how beautiful she was!
Indeed she is beautiful till 2day!

I remember Brigitte. cool in her ways n always behave very matured in her age.

I remember Sharon, always strong inside , even though bully by her brother at times.

I remember Abraham, very quiet boy , no complains at all times ,n always wants to do his best.

I remember Edbert, joining GK camp at the age of 2, can't even climb up the stairs cos he was so small, cute boy and bubbling with joy.

I remember Cheryl, sweet little girl, quiet and deep in thoughts, always smiling.

I remember Darryl, who join us not long, but a girl who's everybody friend, always there when someone is in need.

I remember Yvonne, quiet and deep, even though I only know her a few months, she has shown to me how dedicate she can be in her job.

I remember the brothers, Brian and Jeremy, Brian as the steady one and Jeremy as the joker!

I remember Sam, who walk in with her 2 brothers, Isaac and Aaron. A skinny 5 year old wearing a flowered dress! I watched her grow to be a beautiful lady, who not only serve God in music and dance but has blessed my life,

Having said what's in my heart, I want to thank God for sending these precious jewels in my life.
They have blessed me and the GK and DC so much.
Even though it's time to leave, I believe each and everyone of them are already deep rooted in Chirst.

I want to thank all of you for letting me be part of your life, and I pray that all of you will be great men and women of God one day.

Thank you, and goodbye!
