Thanksgiving - Answered 100K prayer

Just got a phone call from my Mum, after her checkup at the hospital. She had requested to be prayed that the Andrenal Glands (left of her liver) be functioning properly such that she does not need to go for operation in November.

"Girl, thanks to your prayers, Doctor say the abnormal hormones level came from the medication, not the Gland. Confirm don't need operation in November. Now just pray that the swelling of the Gland will disappear."

Lord! Thank you for answering prayers!

Grace

When I was young, my teachers, even friends called me Grace. For some reason, even when I had my ballet exam, the British examiner, though reading my name from the script and also, I wore a name tag with the name "Joyce", she would call me "Grace, could you do a piroutte for me?" And I would know she's calling me and do it. I even had an admin asst write me a memo that reads "Grace, please call xxxxxxxxx".

When I was going for baptism, the Lord strangely, did not lead me to the name Grace, but Hope as in Romans 12:12.

Was wondering the other day, maybe the reason was because, He already reserved the name "Grace" for Vernon and Angelyn's darling daughter.

"Lord, thank you for Grace. Thank you that she will grow up strong in you, knowing You at an early age. Thank you that she will be able to know what is right and wrong, what is pure and destestable, what is noble and what is not, what is pure and what is not, and be able to choose the right path at every big and small junction of her life. Thank you that you will surround her with Godly friends and mentors, such that she will lead her life with great soberness, for You alone. Thank you that she will be a comfort and joy to everyone around her. Bless her Lord, In Jesus Name, Amen."

Sharing - Claiming China for Christ

It was a great time going to China for the Summer Camp. I've frequent China since my student days (Student exchange) as well as work, but for the last 1.5 yrs this was the first time I return to the land of China.

I'm very proud to say that I am super at home in China. From getting cabs, to buying food, to going on the train, bringing people shopping, to dressing for the weather, I feel more at home than Singapore! (And I was tour guide to Yuling, Calyn and Inez for 2 days!)

The camp was a good time, connecting and influencing (hopefully) the China students! I enjoyed the laughter, the discussions on values of BGR, and testifying on how God was a huge part in my marriage to my husband. I miss them very much, they have in their own ways, brought me closer to myself.

Somehow, my spirit changed since going China this time. I'm more sober, at rest, and more joyful!

The time of R&R with the Charlie Angels - Yuling, Calyn and Inez was also great fun! We talked, laughed, did stupid things... and ya... my room mate Yuling, was very great to share alot of laughter with (Hey sorry about the 3am incident..hahaha...) and Calyns' High C-ness... really like go tour package with her... and Inez's "you know I know what no one knows..."

To me, China is now a place of refreshing, a place of testimonies of Christ, a place of fellowshipping. I proclaim that over the land. Thank you Lord for this trip! Bless this nation!
