Times of Refreshing

Was really really tired... could have just pitied myself and vegetate on the sofa in front of the tv... but somehow, something prompted me to get up and worship God. And I did. And prayed. Was tough at first, felt distant from God, felt super unworthy... but I know I can come boldly to the throne of GRACE and obtain mercy and help in times of need. As I pressed on, God's presence just swept me over and times of refreshing came. I was reminded of a verse in Acts 3: 19 ... and "times of refreshing comes from the presence of the Lord"...

I am happy now.

=)

a tad tired. but I love my heroine

Yeh, that's right. I'm a tad tired. Physically. No time to exercise. Wonder if it's an age thing. Being almost 31 *gasp* is no joke... maybe it's the age. Maybe it's the crazy work. But more likely, it's because I haven't spent enough time in His presence *guilty face*

Lovely D's birthday is drawing near. The big 3-0. What should I get for her? Although she was sick (emphasizing "was" cos it's no more), she has been encouraging me so much more. Did I mention what she did? I was down with gastric flu, meaning fever, puking and lao-sai-ing, for 3 days. But my MC was only 2 days. On the 3rd day, I went back to work, still sick, still lao-sai-ing (pardon my language). Too much work, and no time for lunch and dared not touch any food. D found out and rushed down from home to my office to pass me her potent lao sai pills - imodium. Wow. I was forced to eat lunch. Since she came to my office, I had to show her the panaromic view of the 49th and 50th floor... yes, we are above the Singapore flyer. It was the best lunch I have ever eaten in my office. Cross my heart.

She is my heroine and my inspiration. She does not know how she changed my life and my priorities. Her strength and desire to serve God and to be a leader made me ashamed. How can I not be inspired?

D, you are my leader. You have influenced me.

I digressed.

What can I get for this amazing lady? Father, can remove the stoma and stop the chemo by her birthday?

hmm....... think think think... Must do something dramatic.

Heart ache for Miss J, Miss J and Miss E

Miss J, Miss J and Miss E.
One long time believer, one relatively new believer and one not-so-believer.
Don't break my heart, pls.

Miss J, why did you lower your standards?

Miss J, why do you not see that we only want you to be happy and not justify lawlessness?

Miss E. Have I lost you completely? So sorry. My love was not tough.

But I shall pray!

Analytical Junkie looks forward to Sunday!

The banker's away. I did some selling... haha... albeit my limited knowledge. Made a couple of calls and sold a couple of products - ELNs and DCIs. What intrigued me was not the selling per se, but the understanding of the product itself and analysing it. I love it. I am a analytical junkie.
But that doesn't mean I am free from my daily admin chores. Urgh. Long working hours, 5 min lunch. Lost a bit of weight. Thankfully I force feed myself on weekends, otherwise, I may become a sack of skin and bones.

speaking about weekends... my Godson is coming to church this Sunday!! Woohoo! Father, do your wonders in his heart right now. Father, let Pst Joakhim's sermon, the new friends, the worship and most of all, Your awesome Presence touch him and melt his heart. Father, I pray for his salvation. I ask in Jesus' name, for his salvation. I believe it. I know it. I claim it. Thank you Jesus.

BB... Godma loves you.

Strange people

It's amazing how rich people come in many forms.

One client screamed and argued with me over a few meagre dollars. It shocked me, cos I never quibble over such money. My mom never did that. My dad never did that. My friends aren't like that. I wondered what is a few dollars compared to her massive wealth. I reckoned that if she comes to HOGC, she will be shocked beyond shocked by generosity. I am skeptical, though, about any possible change in area cos the concept of generosity and being "da fang" are just non-existent.

One client complained about me and said "I tell your supervisor". Wah. Threaten me ah. I tell my Father ah. I just missed some stupid cut off times. This is what happens when there is simply too much work.

Yet another client asks me every other day about how certain deposits were determined and if the rates given to him are the best.

But there are nice clients.

One chatted with me about my inclination towards going back to school to study again.
One encouraged me to hang on.
One asked me about my family life and urged me to go home early.

I am counting down to Independence day.

And I resolved not to behave like those idiots in the first category when I become a client myself.

Monday Blues

Tell me why I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down .................

Urgh.

Earworm music playing live!

Strange. Just after I blogged about the earworm, my husband is playing that very song in the living room! Haha! Supernaturally natural.

;)

Spiritual Earworm

Have you ever had a earworm before?

I have. I had one just today.

Checked up Wikipedia for a definition of earworm -

QUOTE
Earworm, a loan translation of the German Ohrwurm, is a term for a portion of a song or other musical material that becomes "stuck" in a person's "head" or repeats against one's will within one's mind
UNQUOTE

But what happens when the song in your mind is a song which sings out of a desire to worship God and links directly to how you are feeling towards towards God at that point? That, people, I call "Spiritual Earworm". Perhaps Holy Spirit is singing the very song in my heart and is prompting me to sing to God. And I did, and I felt God just melting any hardness in me away. And I came boldly before the Throne of Grace.

And this is my spiritual earworm today. A song written by a very very talented KC from City Harvest Church.

God of my youth I remember
Your call on my life took me over
Your love has seen me through all my days
I stand by Your grace
On this altar I’ve written my life
Tells of a story I have with You my Lord
I want the world to know

God of my forever
And forever I’m with You
My life is saved with a price
Your sacrifice redeemed my soul
God of my forever
And forever I will sing
My greatest honor will always be
To serve my Lord and King

God of my all
I’ve surrendered
My heart finds rest in Your word
Praises will not be enough to show
How my love for You has grown
Nothing matters when You’re here with me
In the end just to hear You say “well done”
Bowing before Your throne

Forever and ever
Jesus You alone in glory reign
Forever and ever
With You I walk this narrow way

;)
