A blog for my random ramblings inspired by day to day living on a beautiful tropical rainforest island called North Borneo State of Sabah, Malaysia. From family, parenting, adventures, travels to recipes and upcylced crafts, an assortment of ideas, just some highlights of what we learn from our living.

Prayer during Covid-19 Pandemic
Abba Father,
Because of COVID-19
You made the whole world stop spinning for awhile,
You silenced the noise that we all have created
You made us bend our knees again and ask for a miracle.
You closed Your churches so we will realize how dark our world without You in it.
You humiliate the proud and powerful.
The economy is crashing, businesses are closing.
We were very proud, we thought that everything we have, everything we possess was the result of our hardwork. We have forgotten that it was always Your grace and mercy that made us who we are.
We’re like running in circles looking for some cure to this disease but in fact it takes humility to ask for Your wisdom.
We’ve been living our lives like we will be here on earth forever, like there’s no heaven.
Maybe these trials are Your mercy in disguise.
Maybe this virus is actually Your way of purifying us, cleansing our soul, bringing us back to YOU.
.. In the past you serenaded us with Hosea’s song:
“Come back to me with all your heart
Don't let fear keep us apart
Trees do bend though straight and tall
So must we to others' call
Long have I waited for
Your coming home to me
And living deeply our new lives”
You have been patiently waiting for us. We’re so sorry for ignoring Your voice and not seeking Your face. For our selfish ways as we only seeked what we need on earth for ourselves and family; status and wealth. We all deserve this, You are righteous in Your judgements. We have forgotten You dear Father. We have churches to gather as saints of Your's to worship You and have communion together but we can't gather now. We were only dependent on the Word we hear in Church but neglected to read Your Word on our own. π
.. We’ve forgotten that You’re God, Who is in command of all Your creation, Father, You only need to say a word and our souls shall be healed; and You will remove every pestilence that inflicts us. We ask for forgiveness for our ways and ignoring You in this time as we are lockdown in our homes with our family. We pray and seek Your face in this moment when we are cut off from this busy and noisy world; speak to us and show Yourself to us; bring back that life of intimacy with You. We pray in the most precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
AmenππΌππΌππΌ

Give Thanks 2019
For the many challenges I faced this year
For all that I have been through
For the many health victory miestones I had this year
For all that has come to pass
For the jolly laughters I let out
For all the smiles that lingered on my face
For the sorrow and tears I cried out
For all the frowns I have had
God is good. God is great.
All the time. All the way.
For the troubles that seem to stay longer
For the sadness that lasts forever
For the thousands sorry I need to confess
For this is what grieve my heart and soul
For the happiness that last just a while
For the joy that does not linger on
For the thousands of whys I do not understand
For after laughter comes the pain
I am human. I am sinful.
Lord, help me. Please save me.
Nonetheless, I praise Thee for You are a good good God.
Give Thanks for You are mighty to save
More than enough to save and conquer evil.
My life in You is counted and worthy
For the troubles that seem to stay longer
For the sadness that lasts forever
For the thousands sorry I need to confess
For this is what grieve my heart and soul
For the happiness that last just a while
For the joy that does not linger on
For the thousands of whys I do not understand
For after laughter comes the pain
I am human. I am sinful.
Lord, help me. Please save me.
Nonetheless, I praise Thee for You are a good good God.
Give Thanks for You are mighty to save
More than enough to save and conquer evil.
My life in You is counted and worthy
