Dear journal, what a cool dream I had again! I hope I can capture everything before I forget. In this dream I felt like I was in a college campus because there were many young adults walking about or sitting together in groups hanging out.

‘Arranged marriage’ dream
What a neat dream I just had today! In this dream I was engaged to a man I didn’t know through an arranged marriage orchestrated by the elders. Time period was such that this custom felt normal and acceptable. I saw my maternal grandparents busy and getting my wedding dowry ready! Our household wasn’t dirt poor; we had the basics and therefore we lived satisfied. Nevertheless this wedding dowry was demanding much of what we had. I was wondering if this bridegroom was worth it.
‘Fear of the Lord’ dream
The Holy Spirit has been telling me to write this dream down before too much time passes by. I have been busy with much ministry work. Just like household chores there appears to be no end to ministry work too. Praise Jesus for he makes me lie down to rest as Psalm 23 says!

Many years ago a Chinese friend told me that the Chinese do not like the number four because it sounds similar to the word death. Ever since I’ve heard this as a teenager I generally stayed away from number four. Although I’m not Chinese I respected their opinions.
Believe
Luke 1:45 – You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.
It’s been four months since I’ve been living out my word of the year “Believe”. (I follow the academic year so it started early September.) Luke 1:45 is my backbone verse for my word, and the Holy Spirit has been faithfully giving me other scriptures to keep on encouraging and inspiring me to stand firm on my word “Believe”.
The Cost of Being a Disciple.
Luke 14:25-27 (NLT)
25 A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, 26 “If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. 27 And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.
I have learned how to be content.
Philippians 4:11-13 (ESV)
11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Updates and more.
Wow I can’t believe it’s been since March 2017 when I wrote my last post! I have been very busy with life and family duties, relationships, etc; and my service time has been taking care of the prayer ministry the Lord has given me to lead. God sends many people into this prayer group for their ministry. It has been a revolving door. God has been faithful to provide few core ladies who have stayed and ministers with me too. The enemy worked overtime on me and the core prayer ladies in order to destroy our group. I have learned that the enemy does not like praying saints! BUT God…! Need I say more?! 🙂
Oil of Blessing
Friends, I have been very busy once my prayer group started at the church. There’s much I’ve shared with this group and so I’ve been neglecting writing here. Sorry!
Here’s the latest story I’ve shared with them. God bless you abundantly!
Proactive Faith
Dodie Osteen is the mother of Joel Osteen, the famous pastor from Texas. I remember once Joel Osteen was talking about his mom’s terminal liver cancer. She was released from the hospital with only few weeks to live. Christmas was coming up, and Joel and his siblings knew how much she always wanted to own fancy China dishes. They were young but pooled their money together to buy her a set of fancy China dishes. However the store lacked one more setting to make a complete set. Now, Joel and his siblings had to decide at the store, “do we order the extra setting?” knowing well what the doctors have said. Back in those days, with the manufacturer being in England and the dishes made with high standards, the store said it’ll take up to six months. Continue reading Proactive Faith
