Waiting Made Easier

Stopping by Seoul to visit with friends was a really good decision.  I don't know when I might see them again.  Breaking the journey to Singapore helped with my jet-lag.  After all that eating,talking, praying, it was time to dash to Incheon airport.  I decided to check-in early. That was another good decision.

While waiting, I witnessed the 'King' and his 'Royal family' walk around the terminal with their entourage in tow.  Wow, so many passengers stopped to photograph this 'family' in their royal outfits.  This was Incheon Airport's way of showcasing Korean culture.  
I was thinking, "What interest and fanfare for a fake 'king'!"

Psalm 135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.


How do you think people will respond to the True King of Kings?  Would people be curious, gather in large crowds?  

I waited around my boarding gate and quietly observed a newly-married Singaporean Muslim couple.  They were cute.  The new wife, her henna on the hands still fading, was holding her husband and singing a love song in Malay, her language.  I had an opportunity to greet them with a few words.  I was curious as to how they managed with the food as most korean restaaurants and cafés do not sell 'halal' meat.  The new wife replied, " We just choose seafood dishes, we cannot be too fussy when we are on holiday."  Interesting!  I blessed them as they began their marriage journey.

Practically 70 percent of passengers at the boarding gate were occupied with their phone, ipad or laptop.  Wow, it seems like we have become a people who cannot do without electronic gadgets.

Korean Airlines flight crew was just outstanding.  I wanted to change my seats as I didn't want to be seated in the midst of about 60 schoolchildren on an excursion to Singapore.  Thank God, that I could sit in the first economy cabin.  Sure helped me to get some rest before I reached Singapore.

I wait around in my home airport in a few days.

On the road again,
Rachel

One Woman's Personal Perspective on the Trump Presidency and the Women's March

Image
Alright, it's my perspective and it's true, not alternative fact. You can deny it all you want but you cannot deny my thoughts or experience and the right to ask some deep questions. You also cannot deny that I love Christ and the people of the nations. Trump's Presidency My prayer times with God about the USA and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were painful and heart-wrenching. I wondered why, all of a sudden, I had God's heart for the USA. Being a prayer warrior, I knew why - I had to be on my knees for the USA and the new President. And I began to pray that God will expose all the lies, deceits and be so clear as to who His President should be. Without a doubt, three days before the Nov 8th election in 2016, I knew that Donald J Trump was going to be the President of the United States of America. But God's heart was too heavy for the USA. He was not lifting His hands yet. Thank you Jesus! And I knew that it would be landslide victory.

Being Quiet Amidst The Pandemic

Image
I have been quiet.  Quietly reading about the pandemic.  Quietly observing the mixture of fear of many in this Coronavirus crisis, the confidence of others as they meet this crisis headlong, the responses of various governments and the pain of those who have lost and are losing their loved ones. I have been quietly watching from various countries.  Yes, I might belong to the high-risk group due to my ministry travels.  Still, let me assure you that I imposed a 14-day stay-at-home rule on myself.  This is my personal contribution to combat COVID-19 responsibly. It is now Day 5 of my stay-at-home rule.  I live on my own.  When families are together and bonding, I can only watch them quietly from afar.  My advantage is that I do not have anyone else around me who may catch the virus IF I am a carrier.  So, I thank God for this disposition. I work a lot from home and there is much to do in the Kingdom of God despite COVID-19.  Here are some ways of how I use my extended stay-at-hom

Now What Do I Do About The Selected President of Singapore? - Some Personal Thoughts

Image
I guess there needed to be something I am passionate about to write a blog.  I am passionate about my country, Singapore.  And in the same breath, when once I was proud of the Singapore leaders, I hang my head in terrible shame.  And it all has to do with the Reserved Election which was no election at all! When I first heard about the Reserved Election, I thought hard and prayed about it as well.  And I was extremely upset that the leaders of Singapore will choose to force my choice.  On 15th November 2016, I wrote an email to the Prime Minister's Office registering clearly my concerns and non-support for the Reserved Election for various reasons.  See the major portion of my email addressed to the Prime Minister below: I have been following the intention to have a reserved election for the next President.  While the argument that Singapore should have a minority race President is noble, it also makes one (me) feel that as a Singaporean, I am not able to rise above racial iss
