fences

don't look up just let them think

there's no place else you'd rather be in now

you can't turn back

because this road is all you'll ever have

Sunday, May 01, 2005, 7:10 PM You Have Been Good! Current Status: Single Unemployed Without a digicam to take photos to put on my blog, moreover talking about a DV cam But I'm feeling grateful and joyful in my Spirit! Why? You may ask, or even snigger a little at the thought of a blur-looking Rei, getting a bit chubbier, with hopes of becoming a radio DJ, being happy. Because God is good in my life! You may think 'Oh, here Rei goes again with her da dao li', and may wanna close the window and surf other interesting blogs with interesting pictures taken with their interesting digicams to boot (hey, not trying to wreak the wrath of those with digicams, but i'm -_-''' , can't wait to get smth visually stunning and digital). Before you even move your mouse to the red boox at the top-right hand corner of the window, let me tell you smth: Yes, I'm gonna praise God! And really praise Him! I rarely tell people blatantly about God, and how good He is, unless they ask. But today, I'm going to really talk about how He has been good in my life. A year after I knew God, in Sec 4, God healed my eyes. It's hard to see, as I have perfect eyesight now, and I dun wear specs or contacts at all. It's even harder to believe that I started wearing specs since I was 3 years old. During that time, doctors in SGH told my mother that it was a case of lazy eye, where my left eye nerve is not working and if I dun receive treatment soon, my left eye could go blind before I was 10 years old. Doctors were against the idea of operating on a 3 year old with a lazy eye case, so they told my Mum that if I am still not healed by the age of 10, I will have to operate on my left eye. Since the day I was diagnosed with lazy eye, which worsened into what is commonly known as squint, or pa jiao in Hokkien. My eyes could not be straight in a way. I was cross -eyed terribly. When people laughed at me wearing specs when I was 3 years old. I was so furious that I broke several specs and hated myself wearing specs. I had to receive treatment where to aid my left eye, I have to constantly 'paed' my eyes for several hours, with a tissue initially, folded into a square or triangle and cover my right eye with it. Being the rebellious me, I refused and then I remain cross-eyed till I was 10. By God's grace, I don't know why, but the doctors refused to operate on me and referred me to a specialist, Dr. Pauline Cheong. Through these years, I have been paed-ing my eye for about 7 years now, and my condition was nowhere near good. I have to explain that during my time, some kids who have the same condition as me eiterh got operated on and was healed, or they too, faithfully paed their eyes day and night and got healed. But I did not faithfully paed my eye, cos looking things through only one eye is excruciating, and I'm not talking about covering that eye for half and hour. It's more than 3 hours a day. Try doing that. Well, back to my story. I still have to receive treatment from Dr. Cheong. At this time, I no longer have to paed my eyes when I was 13, but I had to wear bi-focal lenses, where the lens is split into half, where the top part is to aid me to see far, while the bottom part is my 'reading glasses' or to aid me see things that are nearer. In other words, I wore magnifying glasses to school everyday, being mocked at good-naturedly about my looks, and 'looking through a fish bowl eh Pauline?' remarks being said to me everyday without fail in class. I knew Christ in Sec 3. In Sec 4, I went to support this Argentinian evangelist, Carlos Anacondia, at the National Stadium. It was a miracle healing event, that I was excited about, cos I never see people getting healed, seeing the blind men see and seeing cripples walk again. I wanna see such things! Not on me of course, I thought. Prior to this evangelistic event, I went for my regular appointment once every 3 months, when the condition worsens and once every 6 months on normal condition. Dr. Cheong told me that even if I'm healed of lazy eye, I still have to wear bifocal lenses forever and I would go blind faster than my peers. I was numb, due to the fact that I'm incurable. It's not a disease, but it's still nonetheless bad to receive such news. When I went for the event, I was filled with awe as I see people healed, the lame can walk and the blind saw! Before ending off the service that night, the Argentinian guy spoke and the translator said that the evangelist is prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray for healing for those with incurable eye problems, that may not be fatal, but deemed incurable. He proclaimed that with God, the incuarable can be cured. He also mentioned that these people who needs a healing touch on their eyes dun have to queue up to be prayed by him, but they can just take off their specs, put both palms on their eyes and repeat after his prayer. With faith rising up, I prayed, believing God for a miracle. 3 months later, I went for my regular appointment and went through the tests and exercises and scans to test my eye. Suddenly, the normal optician remarked that my eyesight has improved tremendously and I can stop wearing specs when I am 21 years old! With delight, I thanked God and prayed as I went back to my daily life. I prayed in faith that I dun have to wait till I'm 21, but I will be healed instantly. 6 months later, I went for the regular appointment with Dr. Cheong and boldly asked her if I could take off my specs and not wear it for 3 months. She was shocked but she said I could try because my eyesight was really improving at a fast rate. Gleefully and thanking God, I was without specs for 3 months, before going back to Dr. Cheong for checkup. Thank God! For when I returned to the checkup 3 months later, she was happy that there were no complications! So I could stop wearing specs when I was 17 years old, where I have been wearing specs for 14 years of my life! I thanked God, testified to her about me believing in Jesus, and she turns out to be a Catholic, and we praised God for that healing!!! In February this year, when I went for my routine checkup once a year, Dr. Cheong announced that I'm completely healed and I dun have to go for appointments that day forth!!!!!!! We praised God once again and I left the hospital, praising Jesus. -- This is my personal testimony about His healing touch on my life. There will definitely be times when I hear about good things and splendid things happening to other Christians and I would lament to myself foolishly on why God never bless me with a good boyfriend, or bless me with good grades, or even question Him why He never seem to bless me with dynamic stuff, He would always gently remind me about the pair of bifocal specs collecting dust, lying in my long abandoned drawer of specs. I will always remain silent at that gentle reminder and would truly once again praise Him for all the good things He has blessed me: a pair of perfect eyesight eyes, a good family, a best friend, and loving Christian companions around me, and friends in MCM and CCHSM who would always trust and believe in me. Even though I may not be attached, but I trust in Jesus that as long as I continue to seek Him and trust in Him, and delight myself in Him, He would grant me the desires of my heart. Even though I have yet to land my dream job, I trust in Him that He would guide me in every single step I take, and He would show me where He wants to place me. Even though my favorite Creative DiVi Cam is sold out islandwide, and the new stocks may or may not come to Singapore in 2 months or so, I choose to believe that God would provide. -- One of the well-respected pastor in my church is diagnosed with cancer recently. Within 3 months of her diagnosis, her husband is also diagnosed with cancer. Both have only a year or two to live. It was almost difficult to digest this piece of news the first time I heard it. How can it be? How can God's faithful children be struck with such ugly and devastating news? It felt like in the pastor's words, a ballerina dancing on broken pieces of glass, dancing with her feet bleeding, but she have to carry on dancing because the audience is watching from afar and cannot see the broken pieces of glass. But it also brought forth a fact that suffering is not always good, and not always bad, God is able to dive into the chaos in one's life to deliver him or her. I believe that this couple is holding strong in God, and it makes me think that all my troubles and trials are nothing compared to the couple. It also brings me to see the sovereignty of the Lord that this couple believes in with so much conviction. At this juncture, I have nothing to say to the pastor, because no amount of words can take away the pain the both of them are suffering now. But it also brings me to see that even when we are suffering, always reach out to Jesus, who has always been good to us. There was a praise song I heard when I was in this short gathering. A sister from Figi Islands was very willing to share her Time Alone With God with us and she played this song and gave us the lyrics as she sung the first word of the song. I will praise You Lord my God Even in my brokeness I will praise You Lord I will praise You Lord my God Even in my desperation I will praise You Lord And I can't understand All that You allow I just can't see the reason But my life is in Your hands Though I cannot see You I choose to trust You Even when my heart is torn I will praise You Lord Even when I feel deserted I will praise You Lord Even in the deepest valley I will prasie You Lord And when my dream is shattered And it seems all hope is gone Yet I will praise You This song have been with me for more than 3 years now, and whenever I feel shattered or torn, or I'm alone in my suffering, I will search for this song in my past journal and worship Him with this song. And everytime when I sing this song to Him, my spirit is uplifted for I know that God is watching. I know some people may think that we Christians need a 'god' or a 'refuge' because we are weak. That is not wrong. It is written in Matthew 9:12 - 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.' It is also written in 2 Corinthians 12:8- 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness' But only Jesus' grace can deliver us, afterall, He's the only one who has redeemed our lives with His blood when He died on the cross for you and me 2005 years ago. =) r.		thedeceptionist Vanity isn't a sin, a little narcissm wouldn't hurt. 24.working.talkative.illogical at times.music all her life.sing.dance.act.host. raspberry latte.iced caramel macchiato.krispy kremes loser.pasta.salmon sashimi.kimchi Just want to pursue what I like most while I'm still young. loves & hates LOVES: Jesus. kpop. jpop. kdramas. jdramas. bigbang. dbsk. 2PM. yamashita tomohisa. suju. epik high. namie amuro.
