Review of my Call 2007

2006, disppointment in church. 2006, left all service. 2006, led into a fellowship with brothers and sisters from other churches, leaders each in their ministries. 2006, exposed to the other spectrum of Christianity. 2006, metamorphosis Camp, the clear and audible leading of the Spirit in my thoughts.

01/01/2007 A new bible- ESV.

03/01/2007 My first meeting with my intercession partner.

3 years later,

Connected to Shalom Singapore HOP('07), Graduation('07) Cambodia trip('07), Israel trip('07),Contract teaching('08), NIE('08), IHOP trip('08), Proposal & Wedd Prep('09), Teaching('09), Marriage('09), Korea Prayer Mountain trip('09), Pregnancy & Delivery('10).


I was set into place though I felt totally out of place with the cramming of events in life.


And more and more, the call is beckoning again.


Go set yourself in a ministry. Re-enter into the church. 3 years of being plucked out, now tis time to return. You have stood by the side long enough. And time to PRAY again.




Where to serve?

How to serve in this new life stage with my baby?

Do I have the commitment and perseverence to not give up halfway this time round?

What about work? Family? Balance in life?

Finance issues at home?

*Silence*

*Home alone on maternity leave*

*Any more reason not to seek God, complaints about having no time to seek God?*

Silenced.

What's in a name?

Ariel, Lion of God, Altar, Jerusalem

***

Bring me back to that secret place-the garden of Eden where I meet You.

Eden - the place that I prayed for refuge in the midst of my busyness.

"Lord, if being pregnant is the only way I can have a break to seek You once again, I dun mind being pregnant."

That was the prayer.

Isaiah 51

Everlasting Salvation for Zion

1 “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; 2 look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.

3 The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing.

4 “Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: Instruction will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the nations. 5 My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look to me and wait in hope for my arm. 6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.
7 “Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have taken my instruction to heart: Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals or be terrified by their insults. 8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool. But my righteousness will last forever, my salvation through all generations.”
9 Awake, awake, arm of the LORD, clothe yourself with strength! Awake, as in days gone by, as in generations of old. Was it not you who cut Rahab to pieces, who pierced that monster through? 10 Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made a road in the depths of the sea so that the redeemed might cross over? 11 Those the LORD has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
12 “I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grass, 13 that you forget the LORD your Maker, who stretches out the heavens and who lays the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor? 14 The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread. 15 For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is his name. 16 I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand— I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”

***On a side note, En En was God's answered prayer to the place of intimacy. 'Eden' is what she brings forth with her coming...to me, to daddy and to the family (and all the family rules that we will establish).

Her destiny, my heartfelt prayer...her journey...like her Chinese name 'Song4-worship' & 'En1-Grace n Thanksgiving'.

Her model, our hopes and prayers for her: Danielle (God is my Judge). Be beautiful, be full of knowledge and stature, grow in the favour of man and God, be strong in the face of persecution, worship and partner with the Heavenly hosts...my prayers for you is to walk with God on this Earth, with your heart wholly given to God, and hands learning to serve God and man.
