Travel Thoughts (written on 30 Sep 2014)

The sun and the rain,
mountains and sea,
hospitable friends
and helpful Hondurans
greeted me.

I thought
Dios es bueno todo el tiempo
and I saw
on a truck 
Si Dios es por nosotros, quién contra nosotros?



Meanwhile 
thousands of kilometers away
my sisters were at the hospital
attending to my dad.
I did the inevitable,
prayed and mobilized prayer.

Prayer rose up from different parts of the world.
Afew hours later, I saw a text message.
Hallelujah! The 'hero' is fine.
I think
Dios es bueno todo el tiempo.

Powerful prayers.
Concerted prayers.
To an Almighty God
in Jesus' Name, Name above all names.
I think
of an answered prayer
when God honored 
our request for healing
a teenager in ICU.

I think
Dios es bueno todo el tiempo.
Si Dios es por nosotros, quién contra nosotros?

As I blog now,
I am on the road
heading to another
Honduran city.
It is pouring
sky juice in abundance
I ask my Father in Heaven
to send some to Texas.

Then I pray
for safe travel
In this heavy downpour.
Still I think
Dios es bueno todo el tiempo.
Si Dios es por nosotros, quién contra nosotros?

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 a...

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...
