I am actually quite sleepy right now. =.=
However, I can't help it but to share here how has God worked in our life. It is amazingly amazing!
Ladies' Meeting. It is a meeting in the church that I'm currently attending in nilai namely Nilai Gospel Chapel. It is held once a month on Saturday. All ladies and gentlemen too are welcome to join us in fellowship.
I must admit that food is the pull factor! Home cooked food okay? Including dessert. And the dessert is not like a 'cincai' dessert.
Alright. The menu for today.
1) nga bou gai fan
2) fa shang bai kuat thong
3) some vege cooked with the above sup (this is new to me and simple, can try out ^^v)
*Items 1,2 and 3 are from Aunty P (inti's staff), a nilai-kl-malacca turned baba nyonya, real good cook la, no wonder her husband is obesse! LOL I want to cook the way she cooks because I'm a baba nyonya myself. Must!
4) kurma cake-from Aunty D, all the way from seremban (elder's wife)
5) banana cake-from Aunty PL, all the way from seremban (inti's lec)
6) belacan cake (sweet stuff, no belacan taste.)-from B's mom, all the way from sibu (inti's staff)
You look gross! Please wipe away your saliva!
After makan, the gentlemen will leave the ladies and have their own session somewhere. No fix schedule for them. They can do anything as the Lord leads them to. Ladies will have a short singing and then move on into Bible study. The 'dramatic' part would always be at the final part. The grand finale! This is what we call life application. Agree?
Topic for today is Mary of Bethany.
The question that has led us into 'dramatic' scene.
Consider some practical ways you can make time in your busy schedule to talk to intimately with Jesus Christ, study His Word, and worship Him. How can you express your devotion to Him practically?
Extravagantly?
Jeng! Jeng! Jeng!
No.1
(the facilitator, lawyer I think, soon to get married, I like her personality, dress stylishly and decently)
I'm currently attending a marriage counseling with xxx (soon to be husband) as you all know. The counselor will ask us to read 1 Cor 13:4-8 every time we come. For me, especially a woman, sometime we expect our half to say nice word because they are like stone sometime. But love is not a feeling, not emotion. It is an action. It is tangible. Like patient, kind, and etc.
No.2 (me)
I thanked God that the earliest class for this sem is 11 o clock. All laugh. =.= Because of this, I can wake up in the morning without feeling sleepy and start my day with God. At night, before I sleep, I pray too.
No.3 (the one who add on drama on top of people's 'dramatic' experience and she is a lecturer!)
I have 5 siblings. I'm the eldest. We pray like this at home. Monday, everyone pray for me. Tuesday, for 2nd, etc. On Saturday, we pray for mom. Some part of the script that she added on: "Is this a movie or what?" "They burn down the shop so that no evidence can be found?"
No.4 (the one who knows close to 10 ten dialects, from Kuching, not Chinese and is always full of 'drama')
I 'adopted' a son temporarily. My son's friend and he is a Muslim. I do not know why I said yes to this. Usually I am firm in my decision but this time I said yes. That boy really wants to stay with me despite of me explaining that my cooking is different and I'm a Christian. His uncle do not like this arrangement. So we met up with his uncle. I assured him that I will not convert his nephew into Christianity and at the same time they will not convert my children into Muslim. I still pray with my children for every meal.
No.5 (mom of a ruthless most kiddo in church)
I'm not so good in Christian things. I'm free la at home but sometime never read Bible at home. I read Bible story for my son before he sleeps every night. My son can pray on his own even though he is very young. He prayed for me when I have to go out at night. We pray together as a family every night also. I think right. Jesus is very deep in his heart! I thanked God for that. Then ar, one day I ... ... I think this is too personal on her part for me to share here. Sorry.
No.6 (elder's wife)
Right now, when I'm angry, I keep quiet. I do not want to say something hurtful. The remainder of the story is also private and confidential. Sorry. Cannot elaborate here.
No.5 and No.6 is the most 'drama'. You can blame me for not being a kepochi to write down everything here. :p
Everything happened for a reason. I admired the way aunties shared their story. It is definitely a heartache one. It must have took them a lot of courage and trust to share such a thing in this meeting. None of them shed a single tears when they shared their story. Ran out of tears? No, God is with them. God is in every part of their story. They managed to relate everything to God, to be faithful to Him when times are trying.
Thanks for all the 'warning' ladies. I've always enjoyed ladies meeting. Beside the mouthilicious food I must admit, it is the openness and fellowship that we share in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Sorry no pics. Will bring my camera next month to ladies' meeting. :)
In the future, whether I am going to be single, a wife, a mom or a grandma, I would want to be a woman that pleases God. It starts right now, to live right. By doing so, I too can have a 'dramatic' experience. LOL
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The extravagant way!
