GOD, YOU ROCK!
He reminds me that He is always in control
He has given me great support that take me as i am and help me grow
I am a child that is saved by grace
He loves me just as i am. :0D
i love singapore!
i eat curry love
curry night as heard on mr brown..
whether at sajc, cck or as ex-sfc members, we danced, sang, acted, mimed, played instruments and all with our hearts. and we always looked forward to the message and being used by God to touch lives.
then as i got older, i started taking part a lot less in easter-relater performances, mainly cos we shifted church and it was hard to start all over agian esp when you dun have that chemistry with all the people ard you. but God is gracious and merciful. noeing that serving in this area has always been my heart, He allowed me to be handpicked to sing in the choir. well, u may say it is cos they needed the members, but i say it is cos God was waiting to see if i would open my heart and let Him in once again esp in this area of service.
so this year, we sang on Good Friday and on Easter Sunday. the month leading up to the event was rehearsals every sat. not as gruelling as the ones we used to have when i was younger, but it was enough to exhaust me as choir singing has never been something i was good at or enjoyed 'at first sight'. but it was a good training ground to be listening to others (which helps lots when u are leading a band and u are new to everyone) and it proved to be a great challenge for me as i heard other older and younger singers alike blending together to sound like a beautiful masterpiece.
on hindsight, i have to admit that i truly enjoyed the polishing process leading to Good Friday and Easter Sunday's performance. it was not my best with the current cough that hasnt gone away for a month and for the simple fact that i am stil learning to be a better choir member. other than the message that i took home that Good Friday service, i took home a heart of simple gratitude for the favour, blessing and opportunity that God has given.
the world seems to stil be in chaos since the happenings in march. but instead of being disgruntled, upset and angry at God, i can look at it through the eyes of the Holy Weekend and declare that indeed God is good, loving and kind.
every hurt, He can turn into great rejoicing. only if we let Him.

and He chose to walk that road out of His love, for you and me'

'He looked beyond my fault and saw my need..
all strife shall cease, all fears are stilled thru' depths of love
when God my Saviour from the grave He rose'
- He looked beyond my fauly (Angela's 2nd verse)

now, back to clearing folders and sorting them out. haha..
venue: harbourfront centre
vip: the babe +gab, han and ethan
mood: very surprised, blessed and embarrassed cos i was crying so much!
our hangout time became so much more meaningful with the surprise bday celebration with the lee family. i finally got to see ethan in the flesh. the last time was during the mini photoshoot we had eons ago. the babe made me cry cos of the pleasant surprise. gab and han made me cry because they are such blessings in my life.
thank you so very much for the thought and time to share and fellowship. u bunch have been very important pple that God has placed in my life to remind me that im a princess that's well-loved by God. the last time i cried at my bday was on my 21st when the YA squeezed into my room and gave me a surprise! this time was MAJOR crying. -_-" but im blessed!
having to carry ethan while shopping was a breeze too. the babe and i were pseudo-mummies for an hour. we actually shoe shopping too. haha. thanks babe for the shoes and thanks gan and hab for being instrumental influences in my life. u all = <3
time: 6.30pm (i was late by 30minutes)
venue: din tai fung, jp (but met at bb mrt station)
vip: my son, sean
mood: extremely contented and blessed.
dinner was simple and enjoyable. the aimless walk ard the shopping mall was fun too though i had no idea wat we were doing. but wat mattered most was the conversations we had to catch up on each other's lives and to encourage one another. it was great to noe how he was coping and wat he has been up to. and to see God in him and his life.
looking forward to our family get-together when my papa comes back. wooosa! :0D
i have grown to realise that absence can really make the heart fonder and time spent with those u love really fly by rather quickly.
pictures not up yet. once i get my camera sorted out.. :0)
thank You God for being so good.. :0D
