July-Sept 2012--Eventful and Interesting

The last post in June was short but captured what happened during the 2nd quarter. I made a lot of friends while studying at the Faith Community Bible School, (FCBC). I thank God that the church subsidised 90% of the course and I learnt insightful lessons from all the pastors and marketplace ministers. I now know I must be an effective instrument for God, if sharing the Gospel is not possible, using my personal testimony is an effective tool too. God spoke Words which I released to bless others, for example, in July the Holy Spirit prompted me to write to Dr Tham which I procrestinated for 4 weeks. When I finally obeyed, was surprised at the reply that came back. God is using me to be an intercessor, not only to pray for others but also to stand by them. The practicum of the course gave me more boldness to share Christ with others, which I did not have the courage to do so prior to the course.

 Although financially tough, God blessed me unexpectedly during the few instances, while going to work, people would pay for my taxi fares when I asked them for help to see bus number and unexpected love gifts of finances. God is good for He brought employers to offer me part-time jobs, with the completion of FCBS. I pray that God would help me to manage my time wisely, so I may glorify His name through my performance. Alvin had a mild stroke on 4 July but did not incapicitate him.

Thank God, he is still able to work and he allowed me to pray for him when he was hospitalised. I enrolled again with GDA in the quest for a guide dog. Thank Lisa, the O&M instructor who helped to perfect a few routes so I can travel more independently. All my dogs had been adopted, except one who is 3 months old. He is very sticky and adorable. My mum celebrated her 71 birthday last Saturday in which all the little ones had as much a great time catching up, like the adults.

 My Cousin, Amy migrated to the USA with family in August and I wish her all the best there. I also pray that the children could adapt to the environment and school, making new friends, at the same time not to forget her friends and relatives here. God, I commit my uncle and auntie into your hands; that you will be with them and heal them of the stroke and nerve problems. Lord Jesus, strengthen every cell, tissue, organs, the circulatory system, that they would eventually be able to manage themselves so cousin Lee Cheng can go look for a new employment and cousin Lee Ngoh can work with a peace of mind. I also pray for our families that you will visit those who are yet to know you that you will claim them for your Kingdom. I pray all these in Jesus' Name, Amen.
