What's so good abt Good Fri?

Yeah, Good Friday (10 APr) is coming.....

It's GOOD coz the significance of this day has brought me so much GOOD in my life....
IT's GOOD coz many many many years ago, someone loved me so much to go through so much to lay his life for me on the cross..

He not only died but He rose again and is ALIVE TODAY!

what He did for me then is still bringing so much good in my TODAY!

Here's one of my many testimonies of His goodness :

This year, begin to appreciate the gift of grace thru Jesus' love for me. I used to think I was a very patient and good natured person until I stayed at home full time as a mummy.

It's a challenging journey for me to remain loving and patient amdist all the demands of my 7 mth baby and a 3 yr daughter who is going thru a phase of seeking her own independence ( her current and I pray only temporary fav phrases , " I dun wan" , "NO". )

I lost my patience( and self control) one day and was exceptionally harsh to my daughter. I felt terribly lousy and ashamed of myself as a mother. But as I came to pray to Jesus confessing my guilt, I received his gift of grace thru this verse ,

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses but we have one who has been tempted in every way , just as we are are but without sin.

So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16

Jesus sympathises with my moment of weakness and his blood on the cross frees me from all condemnation so that today I can put the gulit of my past failings on the cross and continue in my journey with confidence to grow to be a loving mother.

Not by 100% of my own strength and determination alone but together with the grace of Jesus everyday, I will emerge victorious =)

HOw about you? DO you have a reason to celebrate GOOD Fri too?

Mic Fun

one of our parenting desires is to raise our kids to be able to enjoy and appreciate the simple things in life .......

Thus it delights us so much to see Gracia having hours of fun with her fav little toy mic she uses to lead us into "worship" every morning when I play her CD.

She would dance and sing to all the songs " Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world....." ( the toy mic costs $0.60 from the market..wa haha)

Recently we got her a new interesting mic - "Echo Mic" ($1.90)

one fine day, I picked it up and started singing to her ( in my own tune) ,

"Gabriel is a good boy ...... Gracia is a lovely girl...... "

She got so excited and took the mic from me and started singing in her own tune...


" Mummy is so pretty pretty pretty! "





I was so pleasantly surprised by her sponteneous words of positive affirmation. =)


I realised that she's learning so much from what I model for her and it's a timely reminder that I need to always speak words of affirmation to my loved ones.


It's my prayer that God grants me the grace that I will always use positive words to my children DAILY . And when it comes to discipline, my tone will be firm but not harsh=)

The measure of spiritual strength (and maturity)

Something that I am reflecting upon...

"The measure (and mark) of spiritual strength ( and maturity) is not how much one can do but how much one can bear with the weaknesses of others . " Derek Prince

( words in bracket are my own)

another bundle of joy - baby Joseph!

Yeah... another baby has arrived.. on my birthday!
My Poh Pastors' baby.... baby Joseph!


He's so angelic looking !

sleepy baby, trying hard to open his eyes... so cuteee!

Pastor YP and Pastor YC have a special place in my heart , and am so glad to be part of their lives at this special milestone in their family legacy. Indeed , they are a family that truly walks by faith and a living testimony to me that God's grace is indeed sufficient to all who trusts in Him.

Gift of His Grace

I really appreciate the gift of Grace so much more as I see how vulnerable I can be....

I lost my patience so many times but because of Grace... I could continue to Stand and be the nurturing mother and wife that I would want to GROW to be...

Because of Grace , I am set free from the condemnation and guilt of the times that I lost my cool with my kids even though I constantly remind myself that I am modelling for them to be a person filled with grace, love and patience.

Grace, caused me to humble myself to realise that I am weak but comforted to know that I have a God who understands my weakness yet do not judge me.

Grace, gives me the confidence to face my mistakes and move on COz I am already forgiven and still accepted and loved...

Grace, helps me to empathise with those who are struggling with emotional baggages more than others in their lives..

Grace, reminds me , to pause before I jump to judge others coz I am as vulnerable to be tempted to do the very things that I know I should not do too...

Grace, gives me strength and confidence to face the daily challenges of being a SAHM and loving wife coz I know His grace ensures that He will top up all the rest of the things I lack..

Grace, causes me to realise that I need to learn to surrender and let go of the things that are really beyond me to handle...

Grace, gives me the power to overcome depression that could have resulted from self condemnation ...

I'm so thankful for the grace given to me by my loved ones esp my hubby. He knows my weakness and yet accepts me the way I am while nudging me forward towards love and good deeds...

Thank you Jesus for first giving me your grace, so that I can wake up every morning and start afresh again and move on from yesterday's regrets for things I wished I did better as a mummy...
Your grace is so precious to me . =)
