Life is Good in Singapore

      Life is good in Singapore.  This is the sentence that best describes my life here in Singapore.  Singapore is a blessing to me and my family.  Though small, the country is blessed with good clean air, clean environment and lots of tall green trees.  Though weather is hot and sunny, God blesses the land with rainshowers usually in the afternoon.  My soul is safe and peaceful here.
      Friends abound  in this land. I have the Marymount Ladies (beautiful Filipino women who pray together and do charity).  God gave me an Indian friend Punam and a friendly Australian neighbor Peter and Jenny. Elizabeth is a new found Catholic Christian friend.  Ras and Katrina are new found Filipina friends who are both wives of bankers( and are bankers themselves).  The ambassador and consul general of the Philippine embassy are both gracious and kind, real genuine servants of our kababayans here.
        Most of all my children are learning a lot in this land.  Margaret is learning to sing Dutch, Mandarin and Japanese songs.  Martin is exploring the whole MRT line.  He is trully fascinated by the bus and train transportation. He is enjoying his school in St. Claire.
         I myself am learning a lot..meeting a lot of interesting people. My simple humble soul is meeting different kinds of intelligent, down-to-earth men and women who have been sharing their various fascinating experiences about this country ( and other countries too).
        God is here in Singapore and I thank Him for always being with me and my family.        

People are God's Gift

I thank God for people like my son's teachers (teacher Welds, teacher Francis) and principal(Mr. Prakash) . They are people who help Martin improve and be independent.  God really makes a way. Always...He knows what we need. We just need to TRUST. Martin is my son with autism. He is 16 years old.

ROMANS 15:13 substituted you with I

May the God of hope fill me with joy and peace as I trust in Him so that I may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

FOCUSING ON JESUS THIS EASTER

                                      Happy Easter!!!!Whatever your situation is right now, nothing can change the fact..that JESUS DIED for us and has RESURRECTED from the dead! HE HAS RISEN!  This is the fact that should bring us PEACE and JOY wherever we may be....  
                                    I am experiencing a trial right now,something connected with my child with autism.  It seems that my husband has a hard time accepting an  unruly behavior of his  like throwing a laptop from the third floor!   I know it is really a bad behavior... but could he possible detach himself from his disappointment to restore family unity and love?  It takes grace, I know. But could he possibly ask for GRACE asap?


                                   I lift up everything to Jesus.  I could just do as much.  I am not a superwoman.  I could not possibly prevent everything to happen! I could not forsee everything......  I thank God for giving me Jesus who gives me the grace to CONTINUE to PERSEVERE and MOVE ON.  Focusing on Jesus makes my soul peaceful and my faith strong. 

How do you know there is a God?

I know and believe there is a God.

I had lived in my inherited house for more than thirty years.   I lived there since I was grade five.  When I got married at 28, we started to live there.  Today I am 45.

 More than a year ago, I talked to God " Lord will I live here until I get old? I hope not, I requested."    At that same time, my husband had started to PRAY for a new job.   "Lord give me a new job," he pleaded.  

After 4 months, a head hunter had invited him to work for a Japanese company in Singapore.

After two months, I started living in Singapore(with my family).

I now live in a modern comfortable home.  God has heard me.  He has answered  our prayers.


What is your experience with our God?

WHY DO I FAVOR MY SELFISH DESIRES?

Why do I oftentimes favor what I want?  Is it simply because it is the natural human behavior to do what I want? Why should I do want I dont want. But what I want good for me? Is it what God wants for me? Why do I have to do what God wants me to do? 

According to Fr. Peone S.J., If you want to be the kind of person I want you to be, learn My truth and do My will.  Leave the rest to Me....

What are your experiences of these?

SOULSHARE WITH CHRIST

Welcome to my blog. There are so many things to write about but this is my ultimate topic- sharing my faith in Jesus. I want to be able to write about how I experience Jesus daily and i would like my bloggers to write their experiences too. In this way, it is my ultimate hope that our faith will be strengthened and we will know more fully Jesus Christ in an experiential basis.
