mm.. ..i jus came across dis email one of my instructors sent to me. was really inspiring, n i really hope all of you out there could read it too :)

here goes..




> After a conversation with one of my friends, he told

>
> I wonder how he can be as happy as he is considering
> he has to skimp his life with the low pay to support a
> pair of old parents, in-laws, a wife, 2 daughters and
> the many bills of a household.
>
> He explained that it was through one incident that he
> saw in India... that happened a few years ago when he
> was really feeling low and touring India after a major
> setback.
>
> He said that right in front of his very eyes, he saw
> an Indian mother chop off her child's right hand with
> a chopper. The helplessness in the mother's eyes, the
> scream of pain from the innocent 4-year-old child
> haunted him until today.
>
> You may ask why did the mother do so; had the child
> been naughty, had the child's hand been infected?? No,
> it was done for two simple words - - - TO BEG!
>
> The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to
> be handicapped so that the child could go out to the
> streets to beg. Taken aback by the scene, he dropped a
> piece of bread he was eating half-way. And almost
> instantly, a flock of 5 or 6 children swamped towards
> this small piece of bread which was covered with sand,
> robbing bits from one another. The natural reaction of
> hunger.
>
> Stricken by the happenings, he instructed his guide to
> drive him to the nearest bakery. He arrived at two
> bakeries and bought every single loaf of bread he
> found in the bakeries. The owner was dumbfounded but
> willingly sold everything. He spent less than $100 to
> obtain about 400 loaves of bread (this is less than
> $0.25 per loaf) and spent another $100 to get daily
> necessities.
>
> Off he went in the truck full of bread into the
> streets. As he distributed the bread and necessities
> to the children (mostly handicapped) and a few adults,
> he received cheers and bows from these unfortunate.
> For the first time in his life he wondered how people
> can give up their dignity for a loaf of bread which
> cost less than $0.25.
>
> He began to tell himself how fortunate he is. How
> fortunate he is to be able to have a complete body,
> have a job, have a family, have the chance to complain
> what food is nice and what isn't nice, have the chance
> to be clothed, have the many things that these people
> in front of him are deprived of...
>
> Now I begin to think and feel it, too! Was my life
> really that bad? Perhaps... no, I should not feel bad
> at all... What about you? Maybe the next time you
> think you are, think about the child who lost one hand
> to beg on the streets.
>
> "Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want,
> it is the realization of how much you already have."
>
> When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but
> often times we look so long at the closed door that we
> don't see the one which has been opened for us.
>
> It's true that we don't know what we've got until we
> lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what
> we've been missing until it arrives.
>
> The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best
> of everything; they just make the most of everything
> that comes along their way.
>
> The brightest future will always be based on a
> forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you
> let go of your past failures and heartaches.
>
> Please send this message to those people who mean
> something to you, to those who have touched your life
> in one way or another, to those who make you smile
> when you really need it, to those that make you see
> the brighter side of things when you are really down,
> to those who you want to let them know that you
> appreciate their friendship.

27th December 2005

phew! one full week of rehearsals & choir prac+ice, +hen caroling & THE DAY - Christmas service, when we showcased our Christmas musical production:) Lives were +ouched, lives of +hose who were presen+ a+ d Chris+mas service. All praise & glory 2 our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! :) Really +hank God 4 being +here wi+h us during d musical, giving d ac+ors d words 2 say, guiding d mimers' ac+ions, and gran+ing d PA & lighting crew (Jus+in, George , me) d aler+ness.

i+ was really eviden+ da+ God in+ervened, He was wi+h us! Righ+ in d morning of +he day we were supposed 2 presen+ our musical, sm+h happened @ home which caused Jared 2 b in a reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaal bad mood.. when he reached curch n was rehearsing wi+h Rebecca, he sor+ of like scared her..s+ressed her n s+uf.. Becca came 2 me almos+ in +ears.. ..

+hen as we wen+ on wi+h our final few runs, dere was a poin+ when Uncle Wee Boon jus wen+ blank..suddenly couldn+ recall his lines a+ all..i could see he was +rying soooooooooo hard, bu+ d lines jus didn+ come ou+. i was so worried..i believe our dear Jus+in was worried +oo. Sa+an was a+ work. We needed God 2 empower us.

Jus+in +hen called 4 all of us - cas+, crew, plus Aun+y Ru+h - 2 ga+her in prayer, 2 ask 4 God 2 +ake charge, n 2 cas+ Sa+an away from us. I+ +ook Charmaine, Jus+in, Aun+y Ru+h, and even Uncle Wee Boon 2 +ears! i fel+.. ..kinda emo +oo..i didn+ +ear +hough. Seeing Uncle Wee Boon having 2 work & rush 2 join us @ rehearsals in church af+er work everyday, +rying his bes+ 2 play his par+ as bes+ 4 +he Lord.. really +ouched me.. Wha+ really really +ouched me is wa+ching Charlene guide him +hrough d ac+ions of d mime. Fa+her & daugh+er +ogeh+her..so hear+-warming lo.. :)

Af+er praying, d runs were indeed be++er. Uncle Wee Boon managed 2 live ou+ all of his lines:) i +hanked God:) Jared wasn'+ as moody as in d morning +oo. Praise +he Lord!!

We did our final full run 4 d musical & helped ourselves 2 d dinner da+ some loving aun+ies prepared 4 us. Frui+ salad w yoghur+, pizza & pas+a. *yummilicious* Hee.. We +hen proceeded 2 our final prac+ice @ choir, led by our dear conduc+or Aun+y Tsai Ping:)

And, ya..d service wen+ on & THE MUSICAL! I was like..so nervous in d ligh+ing room lo! scared i give d wrong ligh+s (".) Hah.. ..bu+ +he Lord helped me +hrough:)

Af+er d service, we had a debrief. And we go+ 2 know da+ Aun+y Grace's sis+ers were moved 2 +ears by our musical. And Jus+in oso +old me da+ Uncle William, who was ini+ially qui+e skep+ical ab+ d use of d acous+ic gui+ar plugged in 2 d amplifier (which i expec+ed), came up 2 Jus+in n said "Sorry, now i see d purpose of i+. The musical was really grea+!" We were like..WHOA!! Sho happy larh! Really all glory 2 God! :D

Desmurn, Eileen, Joshua, Michael, Jessica's sis+er, and Lock Li were +here @ d Chris+mas service +oo. Sooooooo long nv see +hem le. Really glad +hey came:)

mm.. ..+hroughou+ d pas+ week, 17th - 25th December, i learn+ ALLLLLLLLOT of +hings. From d musical s+aged by Bap+is+ Fellowship Church we a++ended @ ACS Barker, from chancing upon Daniel doing his quie+ +ime during our break b+wn d rehearsals, from Uncle Wee Boon & Charlene, from Aun+y Ru+h, and from Jus+in's +es+imony shared during caroling. Daniel was among 1 of d cons+an+ reminders 2 me da+ i haven'+ been fai+hfully doing my quie+ +ime.. i'm guil+y of da+, i know.. i've been +elling myself repea+edly +oo..bu+ as d song goes "..coz when +hose +rials come, my human na+ure shou+s +he +hing 2 do, and God's sof+ promp+ing can be easily ignored..". How +rue i+ is.. (".)

Have we ever wondered how we can spend all our +ime doing wha+ d world does, bu+ we NEVER managed 2 spend even a wee bi+ of +ime for God (besides saying grace b4 every meal)? How selfish human na+ure can be! Have we ever pondered?



WE ARE THE REASON
As little children
we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts ans toys
we knew we'd find

But we never realised
A baby born one blessed night
gave us the greatest gift of our life

We are the reason
that He gave His life
We are the reason
that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

And as the years go by
we learnt more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
and what that means

In a dark and cloudy day
a man hung crying in the rain

Because of love,
because of love

We are the reason
that He gave His life
We are the reason
that He suffered and died
To a woeld that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

He is our reason to live!



THANK YOU LORD
Thank You Lord
For the trials that come my way
In that way i can grow each day
As i let You lead
And i thank You Lord
For the patience those trials bring
In the process of growing
i can learn to care

But it goes against the way i am
To put my human nature down
And let the Spirit take control of all i do
'Cos when those trials come
my human nature shouts the things to do
And God's soft prompting can be easily ignored

But i thank You Lord
With each trial i feel inside
That You're there to help, lead and guide
my way from wrong
'Cos You promised Lord
That with every testing
That Your way of escaping is easier to bear

Yes, i thank You Lord
For the victory that growing brings
In surrender of everything
Life is so worthwhile

And i thank You Lord
That when everything's put in place
Out in front i can see Your face
And it's there You belong!
