• desire to please God

    “May he give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that he gave our ancestors.”

    1 Kings 8:58

    Encouragement for Today
    Life with God is about having a heartfelt desire to please him. If you don’t have this desire at the moment—or at any moment—you can pray for it. This might also apply to particular areas we struggle with, such as forgiving someone. We know we should, yet we don’t really want to. Pray is first for the desire to obey, to forgive, or to serve. Whatever it is the Holy Spirit brings to mind, if we can’t immediately obey, we can ask God to change our hearts first.

  • foreigners will hear you

    “In the future, foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel will hear of you. They will come from distant lands because of your name, for they will hear of your great name and your strong hand and your powerful arm. … Then people all over the earth will know that the LORD alone is God and there is no other.”

    1 Kings 8:41–43, 60

    Encouragement for Today
    Even at this point in Israel’s history, Solomon foresees that God has a big plan, not just for Israel, but also for the whole world. All the nations are to fear and know God as he truly is. This has been God’s heart and plan from the beginning, throughout Israel’s history, and even now through what he’s doing in the Church. The culmination will be all tribes and peoples worshiping the Lamb of God around the throne of heaven. This is God’s passion. Is it yours?

  • Halloween Costume

    Me 23.06.2008 No Comments

    In the place where I was born and grew up, there’s no Halloween celebration whatsoever. We do celebrate all soul’s day and all saints day, but not Halloween. However, in certain places and tradition, there is this kind of celebration also. The first and last of which I had attended (Halloween party) was a long time ago, when I was still very young. It was a fun experience. Scary but fun. We had it in our service building and there was supposed to be a treasure box to find. It was funny coz I got scared and so I stopped joining in looking for the treasure and volunteered instead to be one of the witches. So our leader had to put a witch costume for me. I loved that outfit. I just didn’t have time to take photo of the costume then because I was too excited to scare people.

    Now that I am a mother, I can’t wait for my kids to do tricks or treat. I have found some nice kids Halloween costumes though. And you should check it out too, if you’re planning for a costume party for your kids. Their Halloween costumes can be shipped worldwide and you get 0% sales tax! There’s a wide range of costumes to choose from, including Barbies and Ken.

    I saw Lindsay Lohan wearing a Halloween costume. What do you think? I think it’s rather cute and sexy at the same time.

    You can find a lot of costumes like this in www.costumecauldron.com. They ship it to anywhere in the world. Now you don’t have to go and walk around, hurting your feet, looking for costumes. You can do so at the comfort of your home. Just click the image below and it will take you to a whole wide range of costumes for your halloween party.

    When we were in MPH bookshop last month, I saw a book called Naturally Beautiful by Dawn Gallagher. I got quite curious what the book was all about. I made a mistake in picking it up and reading the contents. But it’s not a sorrowful mistake i should say…Hehehe. Coz it’s all about taking care of your body in a natural way. I showed Peter the book and (I’m so thankful I have a very supportive husband when it comes to beauty stuff and all that…) and he straight away bought the book for me. Great! I started reading the book… actually started studying it. Hehhehe. Since I have oily skin, I focused more on the oily skin care. Hmmm… I thought of doing it… and yes, true enough… i felt the difference. it’s really really effective. I had one of my friends try it and she loved it. If you feel you wanna try it… please let me know. I’d be glad to give you some recipes. Just let me know what type of skin you have! You don’t need to worry where to get the ingredients because they’re all found in your kitchen! If you cook, that is. The only thing is… if you want a spa… that means you have to have some essential oils. I got mine from Body Shop…

    I’ve been doing to Peter as well. Right now, as I’m typing this.. he’s sitting in front of me, enjoying his foot spa. Hehehe. I’m gonna have one later too, I hope. Nowadays it’s hard to predict what I can do later coz of the kids. Samantha might wake up by the time I put my feet in the tub. Hahaha! That’s why I just hope I could do things nowadays. Okay lah… I have this spa thingy nowadays. It’s always nice to do it yourself… considering how expensive it would be to do it outside.Feeling great smelling the aromatherapy scent here in the house…. Hehhehe.
