The Grace in Grace

I couldn't sleep last night, even though I went to bed at around 5a.m. So, I decided to have a conversation with God :) I talked to Him like a friend, a father and a mentor. Asking Him questions and sharing what is happening. Then, after I said my last sentence I fell asleep soon after.Then I woke up around afternoon and went to the supermarket to get some shopping done. Grandma followed along to give me aid. She's the master in cooking. So, that's what we bought. There's the colorful pasta, prawns, meat, sotong cakes and some vegetables.I did the cutting and boy, it was hard work This is what it looks like after I boiled the pasta and cut up everything
I wasn't the cook, Grandma is! Look at her go!!
And after it's all done! Looks good and of course it taste good to me too.

Overall we has a great time potlucking. There's pizzas, chicken, potato salad and many other food. And for desert we had chocolate ice-cream sponsored by Aaron! The night was spend chatting of what's happening around the world, church and us. Time passed by fast and we didn't realise it was already 11! Packed up and went home.

I finished my powerpoint slides for the worship later and discovered a Chirstian website where I can listen to free music. A pity that I can download them!

牵我的手 [王子音乐]

牵我的手 我的主啊
请你不离开我
这条路 我搁要行
我需要你来作伴

牵我的手 我的主啊
请你不离开我
有时我会惊
有时不知按怎行
有时干那听不着你的声

[c]
牵我的手 请你甲我作伴
互我的脚步又稳又定
走到你的门前
听着你的声
甲我讲：入来我的子！

This song meant so much to me when I first discovered I had diabetes. I was at my lowest point then and this song; and another, accompanied me through it. 牵我的手 was written in Hokkien and if you can understand it, it carries so much meaning; especially the second verse and chorus. I loved sharing songs and testimonies with people who are willing to listen. I may be young, but God has done so many things in my life. Since the day I was born to this day when I'm still living. I'm sure this song will be with me even if I'm at my highest point. We need God to hold our hands each day; and I need Him ever more to hold my hands firm when He leads me to new ground. 牵我的手,我的主啊;请你不离开我.

Here's a lose translation of the song in English.

牵我的手 Hold My Hands
牵我的手 我的主啊 Hold my hands, O Lord
请你不离开我 Please do not leave me alone
这条路 我搁要行 I still want to walk this path
我需要你来作伴 I need You to be with me

牵我的手 我的主啊 Hold my hands, O Lord
请你不离开我 Please do not leave me alone
有时我会惊 In times I'm afraid
有时不知按怎行 In times I lost my way
有时干那听不着你的声 And in times I couldn't hear You

[c]
牵我的手 请你甲我作伴 Hold my hands and be there for me
互我的脚步又稳又定 Let my steps be firm and strong
走到你的门前 And when I reach Your doorstep
听着你的声 I would hear You say
甲我讲：入来我的子！ "Come in, My child"
