Devotion on Childbirth

Listened to my favourite radio station and had a short time of devotion through the website.

Read the full article here.  It totally spoke to me, since I am currently in the season of planning to start a family. Literally weeping while reading this.

"I realized that though I hadn’t yet seen into this baby’s eyes God already had, long ago when He first conceived to create the world, He had already looked into this baby’s eyes and known him. I decided as hard as it would be I’d try to take joy in every minute I had with the baby in my belly, to marvel at his movement and smile at my own physical discomfort because it was all time I got to spend with the wonderful, miraculous gift inside of me. And in a very real way I connected with this baby long before I ever looked into his eyes and knew him that way."

God may I bring you honour in everything that I do.  Thank you God for being so real to me.  I know You are here and You absolutely understand how I feel.  Let me never forget Thy faithfulness all the days of my life.

Love,
Pam

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode. I believe God is watching.; #2. The CAD does not charge without concrete evidence (they have taken sufficient time to investigate - 2 years). May justice prevail.; #3. It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge.  It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong.  (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with.  Though I h...

Our Second Child

15th June 2023:  It's 2.22am and I am lying in the hospital bed. I am having an ectopic pregnancy (wherein my fertilised egg implants in my fallopian tube, not uterus so there is no chance of survival). I was sensitive to my body so I only managed to fully celebrate my long-awaited 2nd pregnancy for 2 days before I had some semblance of what was happening.  Momentarily I questioned God but after grieving somewhat satisfactorily, I was able to cling onto the characters of God and acknowledged that God allowed this to happen to me for a reason. I may not understand why, but He promised to go through this with me. During this season, I kept contemplating the story of Job - how he endured and it gave me a lot of strength. I always find it fascinating how he could say, "... Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" More than that, my preacher reminded me how much it pains God to give and take away from me.  In summary, I had a dose of methotrexate administer...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
