Tough times, but rejoicing always!

God really works in mysterious ways, you just decide "Ok, I'm just going to step out in faith here and obey God here and see what happens." You don't expect very much, you don't really think very much about it maybe but God just shows up in the craziest way possible! That was random but I don't know, maybe because it is close to the time that I'll be returning to Singapore that now I'm getting all emotional about things you know. Missing home very very much and cannot wait to get back to my youths!! Just having our Edge Conference being so close is getting me all excited too!! So if anyone one of you is a young person reading this and is excited about Jesus and want to see yourself being equipped better to serve your generation, you should definitely sign up for this conference! (: It's going to be so crazy insane and I very much wished I could be there, but I can't, so those of you who can, take just 3 days out of the 365 a year to attend it!! Sign up at www.edgeconference.sg (: NOW NOW NOW!! (:

So just a couple of days ago I prayed for one of my contacts because she said she was sick. I just told her, believe that Jesus will heal you because only He has the power to heal and that He will hear our prayers (: So I prayed for her and left it as that, then 2 days later I met her and asked her how is she feeling. She just simply told me, "If you have Jesus, you will be healed very quickly." and that she was feeling all better already! And today she sent in an application to World Vision (a CHRISTIAN organization heh) for a job! (: I thank God because I believe God is slowly working in her life and one day she will be crazy about Jesus too! (:

Another family that has so kindly opened their home for me to come into in Lahane is really God-given too (: They are EXTREMELY opened to me being a Protestant although they are actively involved in the Catholic Church (there has been problems with the Protestants and Catholics, bad baaddd :( ) and whenever I go to their place, they serve me so much food and drinks!! Okay, that is a good sign to me not because I'm hungry but because that shows me they are willing to GIVE TO ME (: Not just because I'm a Malai (that's foreigner in Tetum) that they can get something out of me instead! Plus I have given them a Bahasa Indonesian bible and really praying for a connect group to start in that house! (: The husband and wife were both in Indonesia and were exposed to Protestants and have good impressions of them (: So please continue to pray with me that a connect group can start there before I leave! (: I really believe in them!!

Anyways, 2 months more and I'm home!! (: Missing home so much recently! But God is so faithful and so good teaching me so many things and opening my heart to love so much more (: God knows the tears I've shed and all the laughters too. Through the tough times and the happy ones, God is just so good. Learning to be faithful in Him even when things are difficult!
I'm sorry guys but pictures will not be posted as much because I lost my camera :( Extremely bummed out about it because it was kinda new and I can't believe my carelessless seriously. But somehow I really believe God will work this situation out, He knows exactly where my camera is right now and He can bring it back to me I'm sure! So guys, please pray with me :( Seriously so sad about it :( But still praying and believing! (:

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

1 Thess 5:16-18

Love you guys and can't wait to see you all,
