I Remember

I REMEMBER
CITYWORSHIP / WORSHIP

VERSE:
I REMEMBER
HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR SPIRIT SETS ME FREE
CLOSER NOW THAN THE VERY AIR I BREATHE
I KNOW I BELONG TO YOU
I REMEMBER
HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOU SPEAK INTO MY HEART
WHEN YOU WHISPER THAT WE’LL NEVER BE APART
I KNOW I BELONG TO YOU

CHORUS:
I WON’T FORGET HOW YOU CALLED ME BY NAME
I WON’T FORGET HOW YOU’VE COVERED MY SHAME
WHEN I AM LOST YOU FIND ME AGAIN
I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER YOU
I WON’T FORGET HOW YOU SET ME APART
I WON’T FORGET HOW YOU’VE CAPTURED MY HEART
EVERY MOMENT I LIVE I GIVE TO YOU
I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER YOU

BRIDGE:
EVEN WHEN THE STRUGGLES COME I WILL REMEMBER
YOUR WORD WILL NEVER CHANGE
NOTHING CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR HAND ON MY HEART
I WILL REMEMBER YOU

The lyrics of this song is so heartfelt. I will remember the God of my youth even in the lowest season of my life because He is good. I hold the hope of a breakthrough. As long as we hold on together as a family and to God, we will make it.

I know it is a heart issue and it needs to be brought into my relationship with God yet I chose to handle it on my own and walk in hurt and bitterness and that poisoned my soul. I am aware that my life now is a lot of wrong decisions and pushing people away from me. The people who stayed around till now are my true friends. I don’t want to push more people away. I want to continue to be a better Debbie everytime. I tried but have let bad experiences and emotions take over. I will try again. It will start from my marriage, then my family and my friends. It is my choice to choose love.

One thing I am proud of myself this year is really humbling myself to serve and letting them into my life. To go lunch with them and to be friends with them…was something unimaginable to me 2 years ago.

My mentor this many years ago: Don’t crucify a person just because of a small mistake and call it a grave sin. It is by God’s grace that we are where we are. Don’t be so quick to judge another, especially God’s children. I will remember when I am lost, God find me again. I love because He first loved me. Make love, not war. Help my heart, God.

 

Staycation at Resorts World Sentosa – Festive Hotel

Leave a reply

I made a booking at RWS – Festive Hotel via agoda on 12 Oct 14 at 50% discount. In total, I paid $235 for a Deluxe Room.

Motivations:
1. I consumed most of my leave this year for CNY trip back to Penang and childcare leave.
2. Soo Chee and I didn’t budget for any vacation this year.

We just wanted the idea of “getting away” on a budget and so we decided on a staycation.

The check-in was at 3pm on 12 Oct 14. We arrived at 430pm as we wanted Izzie to have her afternoon nap first so we could avoid fussiness and crankiness of the little one due to the lack of sleep. The entry fee to Sentosa was waived when we showed our hotel voucher. The check-in queue was rather long and we waited for about 30 mins to get to the counter. Praise God, we got a free upgrade to Deluxe Family King room. This room comes with a king-sized bed, sofa bed, and a loft bed for a child.

We had an enjoyable stay at Festive Hotel. The room is cosy for a family with young children. We had a relaxing time dining and walking around RWS.
I shall end my short post and let photos do the talking…

Izzie had fun climbing up and down and up and down the stairs! It’s her “playground”. 😛

The TV screen home page has my name printed there. It is a personal thing to do. 🙂

Oh look! Kid’s size indoor slippers for Izzie! Nice!

A little balcony for a little breather. Spot the cable car!

It has been a while since we opened up our house for cell group meeting. It was refreshing and a few members have feedback that they really appreciate us opening our house and that the meeting was conducive.

I just had to capture the beautiful moment of members worshipping God.

My prayer is that we will continue to love God and love people every single day. Purify our hearts, O God.

Seasons

Leave a reply

Many parents whose firstborn is around Izzie’s age have already gone on to have another kid. I can’t deny the fact that I felt the pressure to have another baby. Yet I have always been hesitant because I am very happy with just one and because finances can be very stretching when another one comes along.

Now that Izzie is 26 mos, I am slightly more open and I shall allow God to do His work in His time and trust we will do alright. Financial management and financial abundance will come. I shall visualise and confess positively daily.

One of the reasons why I am more open is because one day while I was quietly observing Izzie playing, I thought to myself how nice it would be if Izzie has a sibling to be her playmate and her friend. A thought that I never entertained the past two years because of the demands of being new parents plus all the hospitalisations and leaves that I had to take.

First Children’s Day

Leave a reply

My darling has grown up. She celebrated her first children’s day in school and received presents which made her very happy.

It is a joy to do pick up because she would SHOUT “Mommy!” (many, many times) excitedly, jump and give me the widest smiles. Then she would request to wear her shoes and give me a hug. The shoutings Mommy! only started about a month ago. Before that, she was just very happy to see me at pick up. I am always very proud of her every milestone.

Recently she has been surprising me every day with new words and sentences that she uses. Of course it is also heartwarming to see how she resembles me. For example, today when I asked her to go out, she was playing with her toys. She paused for a while and started packing her toys neatly before heading out. How many kids you know do that? I appreciate you, Izzie. Out of the blue this week on a bus journey home, she pointed to me and said, “mommy” and she pointed to the lady sitting next to me and said, “aunty”.

As you celebrate Children’s Day, I pray you will know God, love Him and serve Him all the days of your life. I speak greatness into your life and that you will glorify God as you live a great life. Amen. Continue reading →
