Philippians 4:10-13
10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Matt 6:19-21
Father
Please remind me each day That what I'm trying to hold on to Right here, right now Is not mine But Yours. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

"Don't ever let yourself become jealous of what someone else has." - Joyce Meyer
I found myself being envious of others countless of times this week. Things people say, like "she is really good in that", "she is the best"... somehow with this kind of phrases, my mind is always prone to thinking "oh, yea she is good (and I'm honest about that) but you are implying that I am not good enough". Makes me sad. Why do I even care about what others think? Maybe they don't think of me the way I think they do. Maybe I am just too sensitive. Isn't what God think of me enough? Just last week I posted on Fb: 创世记 1:31 神看着一切所造的都甚好. 神所造的一切都好 --> 神造我 --> 他看这所造的我甚好,在他的眼里我很美丽,这样就够了. 感恩 :) Translation: Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all He had made, and saw that it was very good! Everything God created is good --> God created me --> He looked at me, whom he created, and saw that it is very good, in His eyes I am beautiful -- knowing this is enough. Grateful :) I should really remind myself daily that God loves me and He thinks I am very good! ;) I may not be as good as others, I may not be the best, but I am a child of the most high God. I am a royalty. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Putting the above aside, sigh, I am very sad. Was having dinner with my colleague and her family just now.. towards the end they decided to burn candles and "worship" I don't know what, because they think the "fengshui" of their house is not good. Of course I quickly dismissed myself and went home. My heart is saddened. Sigh, what else can I do but pray.

Doctors
I use to think (actually still think) that doctors are very capable in making an ill person well. I remembered walking out of the clinic when I was younger, feeling much better than before. I thought they have supernatural powers. I also used to envy them. They are smart and rich, sometimes pretty/handsome. But of course, I know being a doctor is not easy too. Going through many many years of studies, the initial stages of having to reset their biological clock to suit different shifts (if working in the hospital), dealing with difficult patients/patients' family.. I also know of friends who couldn't have a single proper meal for a whole week when things get busy. All these, just to help those who are unwell get better... therefore we should appreciate doctors :) and to all the doctors out there, keep up the good work!
Ok, off to see the doctor soon.

Keys Mission's 4th CD launching
27/07/2012: Keys Mission's 4th CD launching at Box Hill Salvo.
Participated in their choir again this time :) It was a wonderful sight to see brothers and sisters from ten different churches gather together for practice. So encouraged to see everyone make an effort, especially those who came all the way from Bendigo just to participate :) Imagine all the travelling time on the road plus work the next morning.. Seeing them really made me re-count my blessings. To be honest, I never remember it being so tiring but I am so glad to be able to be a part of it! It is just so, so, so sweet listening to all the voices unified in singing and praising God. I can't help but smile :)

Children
After Ps Benny Ho's session at church just now, I was going to go home straight to sleep because I was sleepy - I am actually very very sleepy now but I thought if I don't blog now I will never do it. So, the closest route to get to my car where it was parked was to walked through the south hall (I think it is called the south hall if not mistaken). When I approached the south hall, I heard the children's laughter and saw that they were playing a game. So I decided to stop and watch them play for awhile :) One started talking to me, asked me if I know a song and started humming and singing a song in chinese. haha so adorable. he was like, "I like chinese because of this" and he started doing some kung fu actions - or so I thought, because he corrected me by saying it's karate.. but then he went on saying, "actually, I like it because of this" and he started doing some fighting actions and said,"kung fu panda!" hahaha :) yesss I like kungfu panda too ;) then he started singing another chinese song so I asked him where did he learn all these songs and he was like, "I learned them from my Ipad! It is my favourite thing!" hahahaha... so advanced! The closest thing that I have is an Ipod - not very advanced. haha talking about Ipad, a little girl then came up to me with a worried face and said,"oh no, what should I do? I lost my brother's Ipad" (I honestly don't remember myself being worried about losing something that doesn't belong to me at that age hehe). So we all (the kids & I) started looking for the Ipad (we found it pretty quick though so no dramas haha). What struck me the most is their willingness to help someone in distress. Through them I see hearts that are pure & sincere, hearts that care for their friend, hearts filled with love for one another :) When I looked at them, my heart just overflows with love for each of them. I realised this only this year, after Sab left for Brisbane. I guess it's probably because she has always been the one who is "good" with kids so I didn't spend as much time with them as I do now. It is truely a blessing to be around them :)
Matthew 18:5 "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me."
