As I woke up to the sound of clanging and banging, sounds of fork and spoon clashing together, I was curious who could it be making all that ruckus?! I thought it must a be thief! So I woke up slowly and open the door, light starting to flood in my room, I start creep, every step so slowly and gently, then Sasha rushed out suddenly I was like "Sasha!" then I peeked......I saw my mom in the kitchen preparing sushi roll with a twist of hot dog, eggs and a-cha and Sasha was jumping around hoping to get some as she always do. haha. I was relieved and walked to the bathroom to refresh myself and get myself ready for work.... (this was at 6.30am)
Then I found out that my mom actually woke up at 4.30am to prepare the sushi rice and was awake since to prepare all of us a SUPER breakfast of sushi roll. And I thought to myself, WOW! so much love was put into the breakfast, then I drove to work happily and during the whole time of driving to work, my mind was all set and focus on the bento tupperware of sushi. hahaha....
Do you know that God also prepare us a bento of love as well? Actually, He doesn't even sleep just to plan and craft our day for us! Imagine your bento would be packed with some blessing, some adversities, some people that He planned for you to meet, and so much more! Just to see us grow and mature. And He does so EVERYDAY! He does so withouth FAIL! And He does so for EVERYONE! Did I emphasize this enough? EVERYONE, yes EVERYONE OF US! How much of LOVE was put into that bento of ours? I would say it is A LOT~! INFINITE! That's how valuable He sees everyone of us. We are all a Child of GOD!
So embrace today with the assurance that it is filled with love from our God. Look forward to the day ahead! We are all Valuable, Secure and Significant in God's eyes. That's how He sees us. He has plan for all of us, a plan to prosper and not to harm us in any way.
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow" (James 1:2-3)
Last Friday at cell it was a blast! We did an Ice Breaker called "You are Chosen to..." and everyone had so much fun! Here's a few clip of what we did!
We also celebrated Say Leng birthday as well. Here's some photo of the handsome fella. haha. Happy Birthday, Say Leng! Also not forgetting, Edwin our beloved cell member officially accepted Christ as His Lord and Savior! The angels in heavens are rejoicing!
This verse spoke to me today as I sat in my Monday blues... =P The Message version of the bible comes up with some pretty interesting interpretatiions. It shouldn't be used as a primary reference point for the Word but it is powerful and not boring to read, nonetheless.
"One day spent in your house, this beautiful place of worship, beats thousands spent on Greek island beaches. I'd rather scrub floors in the house of my God than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin. All sunshine and sovereign is God, generous in gifts and glory. He doesn't scrimp with his traveling companions. It's smooth sailing all the way with God-of-the-Angel-Armies."
~Psalm 84:10-12 (Taken from The Message version)~
