Rest day pleasures

Sitting at my patio.  Having my breakfast of cheese sandwich and home-made mint/ Earl grey tea.
Listening to Messianic worship songs.  Watching the birds, bees and more than a dozen butterflies - salve to my eyes.  



The constant zooming of cars, buses and trucks do nothing to disturb the serenity.  There is a sense of peace.


Love walking around my garden just to check on them, plants and trees.



What can I say?  The song I am listening says it all, "My God, My King, Holy, Holy, Holy".

Thank you Jesus for this tranquility.

Have a peaceful day,
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.

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...

Seeking the Shalom of Your City

Image
  Tan Keng Tiong, a Masters of Divinity student with Fuller Theological Seminary was invited to encourage the FAIM team and friends on 24th August 2024. It was FAIM's 12th Anniversary. Tiong, as he is fondly known, discusses the challenges we have in the mission field and how we might use our giftings and tools to reach the lost. In his message, he encouraged FAIM with these words: I begin this message with the conviction that  FAIM must be God’s instrument, Jesus’s hands, and feet, that inhabits and serves the world,  as a living witness to the gospel  of God’s kingdom among your people of diverse faiths and beliefs, lostness and brokenness, in your respective cities. In short, we must seek the shalom of our cities.  We are thankful to our brother for a timely reminder and encouragement to pursue God's call for His glory. Below, you can read his full message to us. Seeking the Shalom of Your City by Tan Keng Tiong   But seek the welfare of the city where I...
