An Awesome Turning




Another year...

I'm 23 now. I thank God so much for everything. I have a lot to be grateful for.

God has truly blessed me with so much. I felt it would be appropriate to head this post with the title An Awesome Turning. For it has veritably been a turning point of my life when I decided to be Christian.

A lot has changed, but more needs to be done. But at least I am on the right track. I hope that you all will pray for me. That my turn towards God will be permanent and complete. I do not want to lead a double life of Christian and non-christian. I want to live a life that is just purely Christ-centered. I know this will come with time. For now, I am trying my best to learn from the examples that older Christians are showing.

As I am typing this, Sister Pat's Dad had a serious heart attack. She sms'ed Sher while we were in Raymond's car driving. I was really amazed how Raymond and Sher without hestition suggested we pray right there and then. So Raymond tuned the radio down and he started praying. It was really God's kingdom working. We were communicating with God and asking that He be with Sister Pat and for her Dad to recover. Somehow, with this experience, I understood a part of how a Christian should be.

Let us pray for Sister Pat's Dad, that God may place His healing hand upon him. Let us also pray that God will be with Pat and her family, to give them the strength and the faith to endure through this hard and trying time. Amen.

A Faithful Sister's Poem


Thank you Sister Joanne for sharing this wonderful poem with me and giving me the right to post it. I haven't been active in my blog for quite some time and I'm glad that my next posting is so meaningful. God is truly awesome!


Who am I but
a speck of dust in universe wide?
A flower whose beauty fades
as day turns into night-
Like a mist that vanishes
when the sun peeps from the sky.

Yet as insignificant as I
God treats me as the Apple of His Eye.
He goes to all length to show His love,
even if He has to die.
He longs for me like a groom
would long for His bride.
To Him I am His joy, His song and His pride.

What could I do to repay such love
but to make Him Lord of my life.
With Christ in my life, I am truly satisfied.

Thy loving kindness is better than life. ( Psalm 63: 6 )


- Low Wai Kin Joanne

I had an awesome time with sister Joanne when I visited her gallery "Ode to Art" in Raffles City. If you are interested in art I really recommend that you visit her place. One story that she told that really struck me is her interpretation of one of the Vietnamese paintings. She conveyed how the Vietnamese women in traditional clothes looked as if they are meeting for Bible study. How kingdom-focused can you get?

Sister Joanne, if yo are reading this, I am so grateful to have you as a sister. The way you treated me in the gallery just shows how much you love God by welcoming a brother without any reservations at all. I truly pray for success in your career.

To the others who are reading this, please pray with me for Sister Joanne to have a productive time in her career and that God will bless her more and more financially and moreso spiritually.
