International Convention.

It was really an amazing time at the convention! Personally, I learnt a lot, from the worship, the teaching sessions, the running of the convention in its administrative and logistic sense. 

During the convention, we shared a two-rooms apartment with Dad and Mom (my in-laws). And I'm very appreciative of them and how they let us have the room with the attached bathroom so that we can join the two beds together for my family (since in the other room, it was not possible to link the two bed up). I really appreciate them and I thank God for such supportive and understanding in-laws and spiritual parents. Last sunday, I had the chance to give both of them a hug and tell them I appreciate them.  

Also, this is the first time we had a church convention with our "twins" - Caleb and Debbie. During an altar call (for those under age 35), Debbie took care of Skye and Trinity for the entire time, and Josh and I had to chance to really soak in the presence of the Lord together for the first time with no worries! And watching how Caleb leads in worship challenged me to re-think about being involved in worship again. It re-ignites the passion of abandoned worship in me. Mmm...must pray. 

And of course, I am glad that Josh was with me throughout the entire experience. It is beyond words what the Lord has been in our lives, how He is bringing forth "the two shall become one" synergy. Many a times, Josh has been there to catch me before I fall and support me while I cling onto God when things get tough. He is the best!

WALL-E is Skye's latest fad. He watched it really liked it, his eyes were glued to the screen all the time. Here is a figurine of WALL-E at the Singapore Discovery Centre, a place the family went on children's day (1-Oct).

The funny thing on that day was that Skye and Trinity enjoyed what was outside of SDC (see later pics for why) than inside (what we actually went to SDC for)... what a joke :)
But ST loved it so it was all worth it ...

Anyway, while inside SDC, someones became a TV personalities doing martial arts!
Can you guess who they are???? .... see below for a hint...


This was what Skye and Trinity enjoyed most about SDC... i call it the air-filled playground ... outside of SDC actually

Skye and Trinity were running and climbing and sliding so much ... it was a wonder how i managed to get some pics of them... pure help from God lah i tell you... (thanks ah God!) :)





Trinity got so tired we found her taking a breather in one of the 'huts' ...





Skye had endless energy, not stopping even once to rest... great anointing in playing lah i must say! :)









Then it started again up the 'mountain slide', boy! these 2 kids were brave climbing up and sliding down the super high slide. so proud of them! :) woo hoo!


Beautiful pic of mommy and daugther...















SEE WHAT???



it was a great children's day for our beloved, super-energized, bouncy, playful, funny children!

joy of family

Viewing photos of family special moments never fail to bring melted heartfelt emotions, smiles and 'hearty laughter' *winking at L & CD
The family is an entity ordained by God, and for this we praise Him and thank Him for all the blessings and joy the family has brought to us.

Here is 1 of those moments ...

On Skye's 5th birthday (7-11...yup! as cool & corny as it is, it is. 7-nov),...

the family went for the first time to the Singapore Flyer - woo hoo! the highest ferris-wheel in the whole wide world! (i think!..ha! but it sure was high up there...)
it was soooo slow that the birthday boy kept asking if we were movingand when we ever reach up to the top...tsk! tsk! tsk! kids these days so eager so eager :) but we eventually got up to the top and the view was great.





Skye and Trinity enjoyed themselves so much... see them dancing ? cool moves!

some pics of the scenery...

(wish i had a taken in paranormic mode ... sayang lah... next time lah...)

Thanks to 'Aunty' Serene who sooo sooo soo graciously and selflessly who made all the arrangements and came all the way (without her car!!!) there to pass us the complimentary tickets (heart melt). THANK YOU to 'Aunty Serene' :)

Spiritual Warriors!

Maybe because we have begun to do warfare these days (at home with kids and in prayer meeting), our kids have kind of tap on the warrior spirit.

Three weeks ago, we had an amazing time during the Youth Cell Meeting. The Spirit came upon the entire meeting, and the youth received the gifts of the Spirit. We even had a time of warring in the spiritual realm. It was something we did not prepared for but have been praying for it to happen. It was just awesome! And at the end of the meeting when we prayed for Jason, who was leaving for UK, everyone had a vision and a word for him (yes, they boldly spoke forth even though they were "newbies"!)

After we ended the meeting, Skye told Josh that he was fighting the devil earlier on. And after fighting for a while, there was this picture of him and Jesus standing next to him. I asked him about his vision later to confirmed if it was a picture he drew on paper. He replied it was a picture he had in his mind! 

Maybe I should take it by faith that he was warring for his daddy and mommy during the meeting, and that he saw victory even before we did. It is also a great assurance to know that our son knows Jesus is the victory and Jesus is always with him.

Last Sunday service, both of them were sitting in during the sermon, listening to their grandfather preach about Spiritual Warfare. And Trinity caught him saying "fighting the devil" and promptly turned to me and said firmly, "I can fight the devil also!"

Bible Reading

(Skye fixed up this model of the moon rotating around the earth on his own just by reading the manual. I wasn't even aware till it was done!)

This morning, Skye took out his bible (my NIV bible which I gave it to him some time back) and proudly showed it to me, telling me he's going to read the bible. So he sat on the sofa, doing his own bible reading, reading out in a voice. After reading, he showed me the verses he read 1 Corinthians 9:20 and Obadiah. 

I managed to keep cool while cleaning up the milk mess Trinity created. But having Skye read the verse to me (while I was cleaning), brought a sense of indescribable peace. My good Lord always gives me the portion I need, and this accentuate the truth that God's Word is living and full of power in its own.

Little Angel or Little Warrior

Trinity, she's definitely adorable! Her sweet smile and gentle angelic looks can really melt our hearts. And when she speaks with her cutesy voice... But within her is a tough spirit.  She is not one that can be easily bullied. Kids will not be able to snatch from her what she claims her hold on until they asked.

That tough spirit is going to help her secure her spiritual territory! The enemy will not be able to snatch her claims in God from her. 

Recently, I just taught the kids to do warfare whenever they are afraid. And Trinity would always have the fiesty look when she says, "In Jesus' name, go away!"

And she always look forward to go for prayerwalk around our neighborhood. And today, we started on another new block, our 4th block.

She is our little angel and she is our little warrior!

Our Special Son

Skye, our dearest son, really surprised me last Friday when we went shopping. 

I was shopping for a backpack for Trinity. She had been wanting one since she kept seeing her brother carrying his. Her new strawberry shortcake bag was so cute that I decided maybe I should get a new one for Skye. Ya, I know, the old one is still working fine, no need for a new one. But I just wanted to give him the option of choosing a character-bag for himself.

Much to my surprise, these were his words: "I don't want. I want to use my bag. When it's old, then I'll buy a new one." Wow!!! 

And when Trinity held up a bob-the-builder bag for him and asked, "Kor kor, for you?" He repeated the same thing. 

Ever since he was young, I knew in my heart, this boy is special. On the outside, he may appear tough or even at times, too aggressive. But I know, God has given him a special purpose. It is my job, as a parent to use whatever abilities and talents God has given him to equip him in his calling, and to help mold all the seemingly bad traits into godly character traits that God can use for His Kingdom. I believe, definitely, that Skye's passionate character will develop in him a heart of worship for our true God and his aggressiveness will be essential in the calling for claiming lost grounds for God!
