REMIND ME DEAR LORD
The Things That I Love
I Hold Dear to My Heart Are Just Borrowed They're Not Mine At All
Jesus Only Let Me Use Them
To Brighten My Life
So Remind Me, Remind Me Dear Lord
Chorus:
Roll Back the Curtain of Memory Now and Then
Show Me Where You Brought Me From and
Where I Could Have Been
Just Remember I'm a Human and Human's Forget
So Remind Me, Remind Me Dear Lord
Nothing Good Have I Done
To Deserve God's Own Son
I'm Not Worthy of the Scars
In His Hands
Yet He Chose the Road to Calvary
To Die in My Stead
Why He Loved Me I Can't Understand
Roll Back the Curtain of Memory Now and Then
Show Me Where You Brought Me From and
Where I Could Have Been
Just Remember I'm a Human and Human's Forget
So Remind Me, Remind Me Dear Lord
Just Remember I'm a Human and Human's Forget
So Remind Me, Remind Me Dear Lord
Fear of the Lord
"All man tend to become satisfied and forget who God is and what He has done for us.
Moses cautioned his people that when they had become satisfied, they should praise the Lord their God and be careful not to forget Him."
Man in the Mirror by Patrick Morley
Deuteronomy 8:12-20
12 For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in, 13 and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with everything else, be careful! 14 Do not become proud at that time and forget the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt. 15 Do not forget that he led you through the great and terrifying wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry. He gave you water from the rock! 16 He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good. 17 He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’ 18 Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.
19 “But I assure you of this: If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, you will certainly be destroyed. 20 Just as the Lord has destroyed other nations in your path, you also will be destroyed if you refuse to obey the Lord your God.
"The fear of God keeps a man humble; the absence of the fear of God leads to pride.
The man who does not fear God becomes so proud that he cannot detect his own sinfulness" unquote
Lord you have given me sheep, you have given me lambs
You have brought me thus far
through mountain tops and valley plains
You have rescued me when I was sinking in quicksand
You have given me divine help with heavenly hope
Lord teach us to have this reverent fear of you.
When I think of why you've chosen us, your daughters out of millions
I shudder to think where I will be now.....
if my heart did not respond to your calling
what would I have become...............
if your hand of mercy did not shield me
I am overwhelmed by your goodness to us all
You gave us families, housing, education, transport
and we are blessed to be born in peaceful times.
You helped us through growing up pains
rescued us from slavery to our old habits
replenished our parched souls
O Lord I live to worship you.
Proverbs 9:10-12 (New Living Translation)
10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.
11 Wisdom will multiply your days
and add years to your life.
12 If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
Tonight I have come to this conclusion.
I cannot profess that I am a Christian if I do not have the Fear of the Lord
IF God is in control, why pray?

Diana told me everyone had a personalised message for me. So Kool.
Where are they ? You are making me feel short changed Diana.
They only allowed you to put in 300 characters in the card?
And I was moved to tears already la.
FOR THOSE TEARS I DIED
You said you'd come and share all my sorrows
You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows
I came so close to sending you away
But just like you promised, you came here to stay
I just had to pray
Chorus:
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied
I felt every tear drop, when in darkness you cried
And I strove to remind you, It's for those tears I died"
Your goodness so great, I can't understand it
And dear Lord I know now that all this was planned
I know You're here now and always will be
Your love loosened my chains, and in You I'm free
But Jesus why me?
Chorus
Jesus I give You, my heart and my soul
I know now without God, I'll never be whole
Savior, You opened all the right doors
And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble shores
Take me I'm Yours!

Absent Lady Angela holding AGM. She is her condo's chairwoman (O:
I will make a special effort to recall the lesson for the 2 of them
I want to communicate to them our blessed time with each other today.
At long last we started on this book by John Maxwell
PARTNERS in PRAYER chapt 1 17.5.09
Song: I will have no other gods before you
Strategy: I announced henceforth this gathering of God's daughters will no more function with teacher instructing students
but we will effectively run like a cell where all will come together as responsible adults to build up one another
I thank God that I can witness young mature ladies actively meeting the challenges of children and youth work for the Lord
Some Highlights
Statements/Scripture that is meaningful to each of us in this chapter. Alternatively,
Summary of what's happening in your current life if that's more exciting.
Diplomatic Debbie's in charge of craft in June Children's camp. She needs divine help to get things done smoothly as craft can be trying for little fingers.
Her partners in this overwhelming task humanly speaking is Linda Teoh and Serene.
Wicked me asked her what it was like working with aunties. hahahaha
I guess whether working with aunties or dearies or any busybodies,Debbie still needs inspired persperation to counter the exasperation.
Jenuine Jun. Greatly encouraged by her sharing that she has moved on to pray for others as well.
She used to pray for herself and it suddenly dawned upon her that that was a selfish thing to pursue if that is her entire agenda. Praying for others has brought her to a new level of communion with the Lord. In fact our Father in heaven has been refining this Sparker because she is always seeking and teachable
Echogenic Eunice. You remind me of Martha today. You have many thoughts and you are distracted by them. Your reflection on prayer is so true. Our efforts are multiplied if we pray and trust God take care of the areas not within our control.Yes my darling, student life is so bursting at the seams it is stressful. Me too. I too have a natural inclination to be a Martha. Next week hope to get more time in class by not starting late. Rushing class always makes me feel martharish.
Right on target,my love you choose - When we work; we work. When we pray God works. I am sure you also have many lovely Mary hours with the Lord. Enjoyed your dinner with the Teo's? You must love little godsis Shynna very much. Happy BD Shynna.
Behold Belly was rather contemplative on the topic of prayer. Hello, to her prayer is prayer. hahaha I guess she's a 'natural prayee' all her conscious life. It is like breathing. She does it intermittently throughout the day. When you have great discoveries further down the chapters you let us know ok?
I have great expectations looking up to you as a young lady of fervant prayer.
Assimilating Audrey is a habitual prayee. She is faithful to rely on God. Perhaps I have overlooked the fact that prayer has been changing her as well as the people around her. This probably extends to members of her family.
She is dependent on prayer as she understudies a couple to do God's bidding in the church. Prayer plays a pivotal role in team work
Wenture Wenx. Prays about anything and everything. Nothing ventured nothing gained. God wants to hear you out. Your heartaches notwithstanding. Trivial matters or earth shattering ones. You have been able to relate to the Almighty becaues you believe that He is Omipresent and omniscience. We have all used God as our emergency stops. Beloved sister of mine, don't stop there. Yearn to be elevated to the next new level of giving your heart to Jesus. Tell of your love with a grateful heart. Ask Him to show you teach and guide you to higher grounds. Ps 25:5. Prayer changes women.
Developer Diana has many portfolios. I admire her for her selfless undaunted style. Her timetable is bulging in the coming weeks with urgent preparations of Children's Camp. Let's make it our business to stand with her in prayer. God's hands move when people and pastors pray. Praying enhances spiritual and intelectual growth I am convinced. Diana says we need both
Vivacious Victoria thank you for being meticulous in your explanation. It helped us to understand this new found joy welling in your heart. You are sincere when you said you want to orientate your life to God's purpose. Your incentive to walk in His will is your conviction it will please Him. Your worthwhile pursuit is to know God's heartbeat. Finally when your heartbeat is in unison with God's, your spirit will know what to ask for and lead you to pray effectively. Reminds me of the soundtrack of a film with the scenes when they are synchronised. It is reel-y irritating when they are not in sync. Get the picture? hahahha I sense Lady Audrey's despair. Uprolling eyes with no more space to roll, "Untip you are very lame leh". hahahah Audrey my darling critic.
I miss Lady Angela terribly today. She's my fan. She often quips "Untip is #- - - - funny"
Angela Angela I challenge you to expunge this uncouth expression from your volcabulary. I pray God will answer my prayer before I am vanquished.
Victoria is putting God's gift to good use. Mural painting is formiable venture. Awesome.
Justifiable Jeanette sparked an captivating discussion with a hypothetical question.
"If God already has plans for us and it will inevitably come to past, then why do we still want to pray to God?"
I am thankful that you verbalised your thoughts so that we too can seek God's revelation prayerfully.
As we peruse this book, we should bear in mind this question and wait for God to reveal the answer to each of us.
I believe each will have unique answers tailored to fortify her faith
Lady Jeanette
If only my mother had prayed for her 3 daughters like Veron did, things would turn out differently in my family. For one, my brother in law would be a believer instead.
Give thanks that your mom is a prayer warrior. We are very proud of her presence in our church family. Better a prayer warrior be than a prayer worrier see.
Marriage is a relationship
It has to be forged
My marriage would not have blossomed
It would have froze to naught
If there had not been words intimately spoken
To convey how we felt and thought
My marriage cannot be salvaged
If I simply laze around and rot
God knows the beginning and the end no doubt
My mind cannot fathom why I must let Him know
All that is within
Perhaps this has got to do with how He fashioned me
I have peace and self worth only when somebody understands me perfectly
I found Him in Jesus our perfect groom
What shall I do when we all have to disperse
Jesus knows that day will come soon
Seek solitude and comfort in prayer, advocated by Lady Jun.

Today Is Mothers' Day
Want to send my heatfelt thanks to churchies for celebrating Mothers' Day with us
It was kept top secret as far as Sunday School teachers who are mothers are concerned
We were kept in the dark till the announcement was made
Sparkers were also not in the know
I said Top Secret didn't I?
Thank you Diana and Kellyn and Debra for holding the fort
I know you all had a good time with Wan Cheng's class
And I had a good time at your expense too
Angorians are so resourceful

The gallant Yoong Huat video caming
Ahhsooo he's been given a mission to capture maternal moments
We gathered for a short time of fellowship

Handmade earrings what do you know !!
Blessed Charlotte she can have more earrings
than her pierced ears can dangle
Talk about talent
I am beginning to think God gave Mei an overdose
:o)))
Ok that's arguable
Give her more credit, she's a willing vessel
We ought to learn from her
Here I am O Lord
On the subject of availing ourselves to service in the Lord...
Today I had the opportunity to go around with chores instead of class
I rejoice when I see each of you serving in your areas of gifting
I pray with sincere and humble heart my dearies
That you will be unwavering as you make radical changes
to orientate your life in order to experience
a powerful loving personal God at work
We often say we do not know how to find God's will
We don't need to find it
It is revealed to us bit by bit,day by day as we live in obedience
Humbly I pray
I pray Almighty God will touch your life
so that the work that you do in Christ as daughter, student, girlfriend & churchie
will far surpass all your plans and dreams
He will in due time bring purpose and fulfillment to your ministry
both at home, school and in church
Humanly speaking
I thank God for spiritual daughters in the 11 young ladies He has bestowed on me
I always bless the day I said YES when He called
I stepped in more clueless than dauntless
Indeed my little call to this big mission,
has far surpassed my plans and dreams
and my life is made purposeful, fulfilling and overflowing with joy
while growing with you all
Glory to God
He made me Spunky
Love you my Sparkeries
ICor2:9
No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love Him
