It is Good to be a Christian

I do not want to talk about other religions, but my Christian faith has kept me going all this while - during times of stress, pressure, failure, etc. I guess I was brought up to be a tough person, able to handle stress especially as an undergraduate and while studying for my A levels in Singapore. I have had my share of set backs, but this did not stop me from pursuing my dreams and to bring food to the table for my family, especially my retired parents. It is good to be a Christian because there in hope in Jesus and an eternal life in heaven with my own mansion specially prepared for me. You can also enjoy the same benefits if you just accept Jesus into your lives and say the sinner's prayer.

God Blesses with More than Enough

Heaven is very rich and My Heavenly Father always blesses with more than enough for his Children. He is not Al Cheapo, but Al Shaddai. He is a God who gives and gives and does not know when to stop. He is a God of Abundance and his children will never have to beg in the streets for they will have enough food, clothing and a shelter over their heads. My God is the creator of the universe, the beginning and the ending. He is Alpha and Omega. And He is the author of my life and the author of the Bible. Therefore, I am thankful to my classmates for introducing my God to me since 1985 and I never looked back.

Groom to Bloom : Becoming a Woman of God

Here is a piece of the sermon preached yesterday at my local church and I jotted down the points below:

Refer to Proverbs 31:10-31

A Noble Woman does the following:

- Takes care of the family;

- Contributes to the family finances;

- Helps the needy;

- Speaks with wisdom;

- Fears the Lord (Honor and obey God with reverence for Him. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom - Proverbs 9:10)

- Deserves to be praised;

- Sets the priority right (God, Family, Job, Ministry);

- Honor God's order of headship (does not compete with her husband for leadership);

- Supports and complement each other;

- Draws near to God.

I attended church yesterday and the sermon notes are listed here in brief.

Count your Benefits/Blessings.

Make time to thank.

Express your thanks clearly and overtly - in words, deeds and gestures.

The Grace of God

I like to mention about the Grace of God in my life not to create resentment or jealousy but to expound on the goodness of our Heavenly Father. It was God's blessings that I found my job from the internet and have been gainfully employed from home since 2004 till now. The internet certainly holds many wonders and creates a lot of opportunities for ordinary people like me. Using my skills gleaned from learning and reading web sites, I am able to design a web site, edit photos using Photoshop and do much more with my humble laptop at home. And I never looked back since then.
