Testimony

Hi. My name is Angie. I am a tuition teacher. my housemate is Tang Siew Ling. Our house is an informal ministry house. If anyone wants to come over and stay, you are always welcomed. (Just to promote!) Again, i am here to testify about the good works of God in my life. This is a golden opportunity that comes every quarter. And i treasure the day it comes as a chance to conclude my walk with God every quarter.

How is my personal life with God? Well, i had the morning until early evening to spend my quite time and devotion with God. i need a long time to reflect and think to function normally in the public. And i would say my God is a personal God to me and He always talk to me in many ways. Through my blog, i could really pour out to Him and learn how to be grateful. When i write, i think and i really do improve a lot in my verbal communication and information articulation.

My life was a roller-coaster ride. up and down. plain sailing and sometimes scary. my emotional uprising is like tsunami, destructive to myself and people around me. And i tried to improve and surrender to God. I observed myself this quarter and see myself stabilised and under control a lot. Example: depression, argumentative, complaining, negative talking, frustration and disappointment, really resides a lot. Sometimes, i can feel that certain scenarios may evoke my anger, repulsion, injustice feeling and blaming someone. Spirit of God soothes and calms me. And i learn to be a calmer and happier person. Do not complain but encourage. Do not play the blaming game but always think of unity and Body of Christ. if you observe, i smile much more than last quarter. What is in the outside will show on the outside.

I am only a human. i do feel that i am lacking and no one understands me (quite a lot). I am lonely, and i learn to be there for people that need me. i crave for love and i learn to care and comfort others. when i feel that i am poor, i give to others. i am a friend to my friend because i needed a friend in the first place. The word of God, ' give and you shall receive' is an integral part of my philospohy of life. Giving in spite of nothingness tells me that i was never lacking but provided by my Lord in Heaven. He gives me so much that i am able to give. He is My Provider and He gives freely to everyone that calls on Him. My God is a faithful God.

my life is a rough journey. i used to envy and despise the lives of the lucky and fortunate ones. Feeling that God was unfair to me and life was after all unfair. Gradually i understood that my Father has a great plan for me. The life that God bestows to me carve me to be compassionate for others, understand the many levels and turbulence of emotions, be observant, grow in patience and learn to serve others. i am still a long way from perfection, but i know i am on the right path because along this way, God walks with me.

And to every brother and sister here, i will always be a supportive figure to all. i may not be able to do much. i am nothing so that i could be everything to everyone. it is a blessing to be able to serve God and you (all). Let us encourage each other and grow together in the love of God. Let us not only love in speech, but in life and actions.


Love, Angie.

parents' day testimony

when i came back from my week long holiday with my family,
i started to blog.
as i think what should i testify, i came up with an entry:
A father's role.

let me tell you something about my family.
i came from a single family.
we lost contact with my father many years ago.
if you ask me how long is that?
i would not know how long should i tell you
do you mean physically, communication wise or emotionally?

since i was in teenage years,
me and my second sister do not call him, father, daddy or anything
i just cannot say the word out
the title of father is an honorable status

as i go on, i am not criticising or condemning anyone
nor i am instilling unforgiveness...
instead i want to bring out the grace of a father...........

yes, the father i am pointing out is the Father in the Heaven
He is the only father that i know
the only man that i trust because He holds on to every promise:

- gives me life (as you know i am living a second life now, i could have died of sickness when i was young)

- offers me pardon and redemption from my sins

- most of all, He gives me the promise to be my eternal Father (never leave me nor forsake me)

how do i come to accept this ever loving father?
it is because of the love of a mother
my mother loves us very much that this is the concern of her
to give her children a perfect family
to find the missing piece of a father's role in our family potrait
and she found Jesus

And Jesus becomes a part of our family

the first sunday, i was at home
the whole Hope BP went for training
so we had a home service

i did the sharing
and selena, praise and worship and testimony

we had a wonderful time discussing about how to prepare ourselves
before end of time

we are enjoying the atmosphere, bond, love, understanding and
most of all peacefulness

it is impossible for a broken family

but now, i have a perfect family
because Jesus lives in our home

today is parents' day
and i would like to wish parents in our midst
the parents of my brothers and sisters
my dear mother in bp
and my dear Father in heaven (Happy Father's Day)
