Dear all,
Thank you all for praying for me. I had a wonderful time. Whenever there is an open ddor for us to share, Whee Ling and I try to live our lives to declare His goodness and greatness.
Two friends that I have not met in a long time came to hear me knowing that I would be there. I am thankful for such support from friends even though we've not met for so long. It makes me feel so blessed to know that there are friends everywhere standing with us, not just in prayer but also physical support such as this. That's the goodness of God in our lives. And it makes our lives so purposeful, not only as we continue to place our confidence in the Shepherd of our lives for complete healing, but also as we proclaim the name of our great Shepherd everywhere to everybody whenever there is an opportunity.
Do remember to pray for Whee Ling as she shares her own journey at Dawn Community Church from a Caregiver's perspective.
thx,
David

Talk by David
Greetings in the name of the Lord!
Thank you for visiting our blog and for those who have so kindly encouraged us by posting your comments on how our blog has, by God's grace, been helpful.
Some of our friends and family members have received an email blast from Tecman bookstore on David's talk tomorrow. For those who have not, I have attached the details below:
"Talk given by Pastor David Ong
Author for the Book Title: "Talking The Walk"
on 30 August 2008
from 3.00 - 4.00 pm
* Seats are limited..
Reserve yours through email
by Monday 25 August 2008 "
Please pray for David as he prepares for this talk. Pray that he will be used by the Lord to bless those who will be there and His name be glorified. :)
Please also pray for me as I will be sharing about God's grace and mercy on Sunday. Pray that the Lord will anoint me and that His Holy Spirit will guide me while I testify of His goodness and give glory to His name in the gathering of His people.
As for Joshua, he is well. Thank God, he rarely falls sick nowadays and even the occasional cough or sore throat gets healed quickly. Really thankful that his immunity has built up. While I share about my son, I have been thinking and praying for Xinxin. Please continue to pray for this little girl. Her child-like faith that she will be healed and her mummy's steadfastness in her young faith in our Lord Jesus is simply amazing. I know the Lord watches over them. I like the Amplified Bible version of Psalm 121:5 below:
"The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand [the side not carrying a shield].(A) "Psalm 121:5 (Amplified Bible)
Yes, the Lord is our shade and shield and no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
"no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 (NIV)
So, in Jesus name, I pray that we His children will rejoice in His protection and provision.
God bless,
Whee Ling

Big God small problem
"Big God, small problem; small God, big problem" - a pastor reminded us 2 Sundays ago.
How big is our God? Of course, how big He is is not dependent on our understanding of who He is. He is the Almighty God and it is a fact that He is big, so big our finite minds fail to comprehen His greatness even when the bible in Isaiah 66:1 states " Thus says the LORD: “ Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool."
When faced with the question "how big is your God?", it is not to discuss how big He really is but rather how do we relate to Him, how we view our problems and whether we trust Him totally to be who He is and what He promises to do. I am glad I was reminded again of who He is and what He is able to and willing to do. It is important at a time when I heard about the news of yet another young lady who went to be with the Lord. She suffered from lukemia and had a relapse a few years after her transplant.
I resolve not to wonder about the outcome of David's condition and worry about his need for more drugs and having more frequent medical reviews then before but to continue to trust and pray. David didn't share much with me about how he is feeling other than being tired. Please pray for him to be uplifted in his spirit and our family to continue to look to the Lord and be filled with thanksgiving offering praises to the Lord, that the joy of the Lord be our strength.
Please pray for Xinxin, the litte girl who has neuroblastoma--a very rare childhood cancer. She is not responding very well to her chemotherapy. Please pray that the doctors and her parents know what is the best treatment options and most importantly, command the aggressive tumour to be gone in Jesus name!
May we learn to allow our Big God to solve all our small problems and may we give Him the praises and adoration He rightfully deserves!
In His time, He makes all things beautiful.
