Safely Back From W.Malaysia (14 - 22June 2009) - Near Accident Incident

My family and I are safely back from W.Malaysia. We were in Cameron Highlands with many of my own siblings and their spouses, nephews, nieces and my parents. It was a historic moment for us though I wished the rest of the family were there! The joyest thing was to know that many of my family members have now come into the faith although we are all interceding hard for several of them who have yet to know Jesus personally as their Saviour.

Thanks for praying for us. It was a long holiday for us. Whee Ling, Josh and I had some personal time with my sis and her family who live in Kuala Lumpur before we drove to Genting Highlands with Joshua's godparents and their two lovely daughters who are also our god-daughters. At both places, we also celebrated Joshua's 9th birthday with all our loved ones.

Whee Ling, Josh and I really appreciate you for praying for our safety and protection from the H1N1 flu pandemic. One afternoon, Whee Ling and I were driving to the town to get a birthday cake for Josh. As the roads are very winding, all of a sudden an ambulance appeared barely 10 meters in front of us. We were utterly taken by surprised but thank God it quickly swerved back to its lane without hitting us. I can't imagine what would have happened but we were thankful for the Lord's hand upon us. Praise the Lord!

His Grace

I am grateful of His grace. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever.

I had not written for a very long time and I honestly didn't feel like writing for a while...

Perhaps it was because there were less prayer requests - not really, there are still much needs, ours and those around us,

Perhaps it was because I did not feel inspired - there was a time when I was inspired to share what the Lord has done and believed the Lord could use it to bless many whom He would somehow connect to our blog,

Perhaps it was because I had somehow forgotten the joy of being grateful and thankful,

Perhaps it was because I had failed to remember the Lord's goodness and "sing" of His mercies by declaring His grace in this blog...

Perhaps it was because I had forgotten His grace...

I remembered an old familiar song (the lyrics below may not be exactly correct):

"Only by Grace can we enter,

Only by Grace can we stand,

Not by our human endeavors,

But by the blood of the Lamb,

Into His presence He called us,

He called us to come...

Into His presence He called us,

And now by Your Grace I come..."

I believe it is the Holy Spirit's call to me to come to Jesus, to come into His presence to experience the fullness of joy. The fullness of joy comes when it is shared. So, allow me to share my joy.

Last Sunday morning, when David shared in another church after his "walk" and the Lord's goodness, I was once again reminded of what the Lord has done in our family - David's healing, the joy of parenting Josh and growing with him. (I'm sure many parents like us know how much we need to grow spiritually to be good godly parents). His Grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). I am so very thankful He is not done with our family. His mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness!

Last Sunday night, we attended the Global Day of Prayer meeting, the Holy Spirit's anointing was so strong, there was such a sense of urgency to pray and minister, a sense of unity, a sense that the transforming power of the Lord has been released. I am so very thankful. Through His Holy Spirit, God is at work in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13).

Last Friday, we were at Riverlife church prayer meeting, once again I was touched by the Lord's desire to fill us with His Holy Spirit.

Dear friends and family, if you have followed our blog, you would know my family has received much of the Grace of our Lord Jesus. It is my prayer that you will also be more mindful of His Grace. Whatever your situation is, His Grace is sufficient for you.

Let us therefore respond to His Grace, His love and may His love fill our hearts, transform our lives and propel us to love as He loves. In so doing, may we always be humbled to know His Grace is sufficient for us.

Shalom,

Whee Ling

Many things to thank for.........

God is indeed great Shepherd who watches over us:

Here's a list thank God for:
1. Whee Ling flight was exactly the same flgiht number as the SMU student who was infected with H1N1 virus. We were concerned the moment we heard about the flight number, but later we realized it was the wrong date. Whee Ling returned on 24th May whereas the infected student returned on 26th May. Praise the Lord!

2. My father - he was warded for lung infection and some complications due to the Aspirin that he had been taking for his heart ailment. He was discharged after several days.

3. Josh did fairly well in school with Band 1 grades for all subjects. The workload jumped considerably high as this year in P3 and he had a lot to adjust with an additional subject (Science).

4. 1st June - Commemorates the 4th year of my Stem-Cell Transplant. Dr.William Hwang, my transplant physician, congratulated me and wished me "Happy 4th Birthday". I thank God for giving me a new lease of life and I live even more intentinally as I know every breath is God-given.

5. Growing in the Prophetic Ministry - Of late, I sense the Spirit of God leading me to speak in the prophetic language whenever I share or pray for people. Many whom I have ministered to had affirmed the Lord's utterance thru the words released. My heart was specially blessed at a cell on Saturday where a special visitor from OM felt very encouraged through the word given by the Holy Spirit. He felt that the Lord answered the cry of his heart that same morning. What a good God we have! He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted! (Psalm9:12b)

6. Sharing in a Methodist Church - Last Sun, I was given the opportunity to share how God gave me the confidence through the valley of the shadow of death. The Lord blessed me with a good time of ministry. Many came forward to recieve healing and ministry through the Holy Spirit. I felt so blest to hear that that was the first time many responded to the altar call. It was a breakthrough. May the Lord continue to do a work in the lives of the people of this Church and bring spiritual revival and renewal.

7. Global day of prayer on Sunday, 31 May - Whee Ling, Josh, our domestic helper, Perla, and I were very blessed during the time of prayer. It was great worshipping with so many people with the body of Christ at large regardless of race, language but same Christ who is the way, the truth and the life! The Spirit of God did a great work of renewal in our hearts individually and as a family! We could also see the change of life in our helper, who does her work more joyfully and diligently these few days! By the way, she cooks prawn noodles very well that day, her first attempt just by following the recipe book. Thank God for providing us a good and born again helper. She was converted soon after she came. Like our first domestic helper, she prayed to receive Christ and is also a cell leader now. God has great plans for her and will find great favor with her as she grows and serves the Lord with gladness!

Please join us in out thanksgiving as we pray God will quicken and edify your spirit as well!

with a grateful heart!
