"Eloi,Eloi, lama sabachthani?"

"Eloi,Eloi, lama sabachthani?"- Which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Mark 15:33-34

We look at the world today and wonder is it a good time to have children? This world where the climate is changing, animals are going extinct, natural disasters are rampant and people are lost.

Looking at the images of China`s earthquake and Myanmar`s situation, i do ask myself, "What if i was that mother that had just seen her dead child?"or "What if i could not even give milk to my baby?" How blessed are we to be clothed in comfort, to have more than enough food. To even be able to enjoy my swimming class today.

Every morning i asked that God will make this day a better day , that the stressed would be taken away for D. And Little Peanut and me will be safe and healthy. I should also start praying for the people in China and Myanmar too, well that`s the least i could do.

I read that Singaporeans are donating to the Red Cross and other org. as well. I do hope that the Myanmar government will allow the aid to go through.

I went to BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) on Wed. The speaker spoke to me she said "What do you think of the world now and all the things that are happening around it? Do you live in fear and sadness or are you joyful for the Life that is given to you by Jesus? Remembering that God is in control does help. Having a close relationship with Him daily does help."

Placing my faith in what i believe and knowing that God is in control helps me feel that whatever may come, be it being a parent or for the future. I can trust in Him. I can trust Him to give me the wisdom to share with my child the joys of the world and the sorrows too. One step at a time ;)

My mom will be going for a biopsy next Thursday, 22nd May. Do pray for her too. Thank you.


"We can rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." Romans 5: 2-5



*For the Children of Quake & Fear :

Am i my Father`s child,
if i`m alone in this suffering?
No bed to rest my head,
no place for a bed.

Am i still wanted,
If i am wandering lost?
No home to call my own,
my friends have left me alone.

Do you still hear me as i cry for shelter?
For someone, anyone
to hold me,
be my comforter?

Can i trust? Have faith?
Would i see the light
through this darkness,
i long so for your embrace.

Fill me, My Father,
lost as i, fearful as i.
I wait for your deliverance and grace.
I wait with faith, little less than a mustard,
yet ever so may it grow to be of abundance.

~Phoebe, 16th May 2008, for the children in china and myanmar. Do pray with me for them~
