THE GOLDEN RULE
Quote - ' You've helped me become a more caring person McWhater, but now i don't need you anymore. - Cartoon, "Across the Board" April 1996

Put yourself in other people's shoes.
What is it like to deal with you?
Would you come back?
Would you enjoy being the other person in your world?
Would you go to you church? Why?
Would you buy your product? Why?
Would you read your book? Why?
Would you enjoy being your wife? Husband? Your kids? Your friends?

Reflection: sometimes I really wonder why and i will often question myself "would I"... Life is really about growing up, learning, falling and reaching for our dreams. Ultimately we aim to live the dream and leave a legacy behind for people to remember. There are just so much I got to do and I don't know how to. I just learned that I got to love God and people then everything else gonna be alright. It is not easy but God is able! Seeing me through, walking beside me, guiding me along the way. I am living my life for a purpose greater than myself. There is no greater reward and no higher calling than living it for God. I wanna live every moment, every day, every hour, every minute, every second count for God and seize every opportunity I have each day!

It's my first time celebrating Teacher's day as a career. I celebrated Teacher's day as a ministry in the past few years. But it's truly great to be called out to be a Teacher. Hehe. I am so blessed. Yesterday, we have a Teacher's day retreat to Batam for one day tour. I have an enjoyable time getting to know my colleagues more. They really take good care of me.

I am lost without your touch.
I want to come back into your presence.
I want to find the way to your heart.
Forever I will be in your presence.
Forever I will seek your heart.
Give me a vision and provision.
Strengthen me, empower me.

I longed for your touch.
Bring me back into your presence.
Bring me near to your heart.
Forever I will be in your presence.
Forever I will seek your heart.
Give me a dream and destiny.
Use me, mould me.

PATIENCE
Quote - ' Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.' - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Patience is strength of Spirit. She is the measure of our capacity.
Short spirit, short patience, long spirit, long patience.
Patience bears heavy loads with a happy attitude, without complaining.
Patience is something I decide to receive, to embrace.
Say, 'I decide to be patient. I recieve patience now.'
Patience is nourished through trial, strengthened through pressure.
Whatever you are facing right now, it is increasing your patience.
This is turn increases your capacity.
Increased capacity increases your success.
Be patient, it will 'surely come to pass

I want to thank God for my kids! I simply love love love them every much! I got a hug from "leroy" unexpectantly yesterday. I was standing up and he was trying to hug my leg when i wasn't realizing that he was just infront of me. That was sweet. And this morning while i was doing attendance outside the conference room. "Praiselyn", one of my kids in jurong west. She graduated from 2-3 years. She is in 3-6 years children church now. She shouted "hello teacher" when she came in from the back door. I am super touched. She still remember me. And after the service today, "Ian". He is the most chubby boy. He hugged and kissed me when he left. And of cos I love every other kids too. Pastor Joyce Meyer was preaching about being passionate at what you are doing. I tell myself I got to be more passionate as I received the kids this morning! So I greeted every kids with joy in my heart. I was doing attendance alone today. I really stretch my capacity by the strength of God. usually, I use to give every kids 1 smiley face chop on one hand, but today I give 2 smiley face chop on both hand. haha. Can see how passionate I was! hehe. I really try my best to rememeber every name. That brings a smile to every parents when I remember their child's name and there was good. Cause the parents will feel more safe putting their children in our hand. haha. There were 65 kids today. And we only have 6 helpers! Praise the Lord for his strength and protection! I like to see the smile on every child who came. Seeing them growing up is also a joy. This is my calling! I thank God! I want to seize every opportunities that God send me. Pastor Joyce Meyer inspired me a lot. Let's not focus on the past or future, but on the now! Focus on today! I want to be set apart right to the very heart. I want to love God wholeheartedly and love people fervently. Loving people wasn't easy. But I can love people with the love of God. I love my God, I love my family, I love my kids in school and in church! My friends, enjoy life to its fullest, love everybody to the best ability you can! Live a wonderfully life! =p
