1 I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!
3 He will not let you stumble;
the one who watches over you will not slumber.
4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel
never slumbers or sleeps.
5 The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
6 The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.
7 The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.

His Faithfullness
I was chatting with my Brother in Canada awhile ago and he said " Hey! We are having dinner with Helen this weekend" So I ask " Who's Hellen? He said, Hellen from Vancouver...I was rather blur and ask the question again.. who? The one you ask to call mum..oh...oh..ya my friend from Canada Church, she's our church member in Canada. ( Can you believe that? The WORD has reach their home in Canada.)
4 years ago I was baptised to the Kingdom of God. All I know then was the fear to make decision to follow Christ. To forgo my 4 years wordly dating relationship and to ask my parent consent for my decision. I make such radical decision in a car setting travelling to my Cousin's wedding. I thought this was a good day to inform them about my decision, afterall they can't shout at me at the wedding don't they.
" Mum, Dad I've decided to get baptised" Dad: What? You don't try to be funny with me " all the gods are the same. You betrayed what your anchestors believed all these years..You'll not have time for your family once you have your church". While listening to that I prayed in my heart " Father please make it easy for me, Lord before they throw me out from the car" Lord give me strength to make my stand..." Dad, there is only one and only God and I want to follow him. I will Love you no matter what..." The car was silent for a moment 20 minutes of silent before reaching Eastin Hotel from Bukit Jalil. You can almost hear my heart beats louder than the wind blowing outside the window...Oh God what have I said " Why there is a suddent silence...? I was baptised on 13/03/03 into the Kingdom and I call home to inform my mum and dad. Mum: You have decided and you already a big girl we can't do anything else. Sounded sad to me but I know God has a promise for me...
2005, Ipoh mission team was called and God has sent his people to reach out to our family in Ipoh. I invited my parent to Ipoh Bible talk where ZQ was sharing about the Meaning of life and he shared from Ecclesiates. My dad was reluctant to listen and even look at the bible. All I know is that he go there cause he wanted to see me. Definately God is faithful and the disciple reach out to them and be friends with them everytime they go down to Ipoh for visit.
Feb 2006, Hannah suggested that we shall have a dinner with my parent and I told them my dad's birthday is on February. For the first time, I celebrated my dad's birthday with a sharing. I was so fearful and my voice were trembling while sharing to my dad how much I appreciate and adore him while I were younger. and I end it with another Taboo " Happy Birthday Dad I Love you" I was in tears and he was silent still..and to break the ice, the disciple back up with a word of encouragement and tell him " Uncle we are very proud of your daughter and she have been a good girl, you dont have to worry and while she were in the Car to Ipoh she prayed that God make today special for you. Happy Birthday.
Deep in my heart I know, he knows how much I love him and my mum shed tears that nite hearing me expressing love towards my dad. He might not be the most awesome dad to many but he nonetheless has work very hard to provide everything for me.
I continue to praise God for his love for me and my family, I know God is faithful though I'm faithless. I prayed consistently for their salvation and for God to send his angels to work in their life. June last year my mum decided to study the bible after my exam, and my parents left to Canada on October. I wrote an email to Sarah Vancouver church of Christ to tell her that my mum will be there for 6 months. Please help to reach out to her and if possible even continue the bible study with her. Sarah said she would love to help but the church is 3 hours away from my brothers place unless they are willing to travel to Vancouver. I have loose my faith but only able to pray that God have mercy on them and prolong their life while mum have high blood and diabetes.
27 Jan 2007, Helen a disciple in Canada Church of Christ called my brother to arrange for a meet up with my parents. They'll be meeting up this weekend for Dinner. I am so amazed by the news! I though, God you have been so faithful to me despite all my faithlessness. I look back at my disciple life in awe knowing that God has been working throughout. I was blessed even with a man who love God in the Kingdom which I never thought I will meet someone again after the painful break up. I'm definately so gratefull..
God will make a way, though it seems to be no way....He works in ways I cannot see....he will make a way....he will make a way.....
Dear Lord I praise your name, for you are the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. All the creature in the universe shall praise your name...
Love you all.

God do you hear us?
I marked my Calender to set aside Friday for church despite my busy schedule troughout the week. Class was just intense last week, Monday with bible study, Tuesday and Wednesday Class, Thursday self study and Friday finally came for Prayers Nite.
After work, I took the lrt to PWTC to hang around before meeting Yew Ching in Sentul. My 1st home cook dinner for 2007 at Yew Ching's place, I'm so grateful...dinner make me so sleepy and the wind blows through the window my eyes were wearies and ZZzzzzzz....
Dong Dong Dong Dong 11pm. " Evelyn 11 already, we need to go to Derick's and Val's place. Hmm...oh..ok...wait wait..I'm wearing my PJ...wait wait brush my teeth 1st...wash my face...so tired...." Eve...hurry up..we suppose to meet at 11...ok ok wake up already taking my bible.....Speed coming............
Derick's house was so nice especially the seat bar he made overlooking the City from 11th Floor. It was just amazing, hehe...making my self at home I made my own tea...and sat next to the window and praise God for such a wonderful place...wow I like it so much..God please bless me with a Home...
So prayer start once Andrew and Angeline arrive. We started off with some worship songs and prayer of praises to our Lord. It was just so amazing to listen to different people praises and gratefullness despite the challenging circumstances that they have to face. It has humbles me....:'(
Then we had a short break for refreshment...hehehehe...minum dan makan at those add hours...and we fellowship and get to know each other. Knowing that Andrew was an Engineer working in a factory near my house and Angeline is pursuing her Child care education at the same time working at a Kindergarden and still able to serve the Lord with all their heart really amazes me. " So Evelyn how's Dating life? Has Roger been good to you? :) Smilling away...in acknowledgement and Andrew wonders...hahahaha...and Val actually praise God for me getting steady so early as a disciple...God is amazing...
After the break we have a communion passage and partake Communion. So I take the bread and wine..Hmm wat is that taste...my face turn bitter..iaks...Derick was looking at me...Control control it's time to remember Jesus...and Derick told us that it was a red wine...I know...that is why it tasted to terrible...Too strong, dry and bitter...Nevertheless I'm not even going through any thing like Jesus...
Prayers continue after that for our Church and I was assigned to specifically pray for more disciple to come into Leadership and deep conviction of the bible. I'm definately guilty of it as I'm even thinking of pulling out. I pray that God change my heart and serve him despite my burden...
Final break and we have our prayer for our self. I pray specifically in 4 areas 1) My Parent and Family Salvation, my Finance, my Studies and my Christian life. I know that God is faithfull..He'll never let me go no matter in what circumstances...
I'm so refreshed by the prayer that nite...me,and Siow Ling went to YC place to put up a nite. Like the maxim " Treat Like cases alike" Sisters were talking whole nite...about..hm...secret...
Friday was an awesome nite...I am grateful ;)
