On A Slippery Slope

I am tired today, maybe I will pray tomorrow.

Aww, today it's such a tiring day, perhaps I can do later.

I have too much to do, I am sure God understand, let me just rest.

It's ok, I am sure the children are praying by themselves, I just needed to rest.

Before I know it, days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and months turned to years.... that's how long I have not spend time alone with the One that has saved me and love me till this very day.

I have neglected my time with Him and I have stopped "growing" in Him. There are many times, He gave me little nudges but I ignore my Lord. My precious Father.

Today, I am reminded that we can be on a slippery road and before we know it, we will slipe downwards faster than we can think!

Psalm 141 shows how we can easily find ourselves slipping down sin’s slope. Prayer is one of the ways we stay alert to those slopes: “Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil” (v. 4) is a plea that echoes the Lord’s Prayer almost exactly: “Lead [me] not into temptation, but deliver [me] from the evil one” (Matthew 6:13). In His goodness, God hears and answers this prayer.
By:  David H. Roper

Yes I have indeed slipped down the slope! And I looked up and see Him there. I need to get back where I belong, and I only can do so with my eyes fixed on Him and He by my side.

Yes Lord! I need You then and I need You now even more!

My dad-in-law passed away on September 1, 2007 to begin an eternal life with our Lord. He was a man with few words, gentle in his ways and had a generous heart to all. He had led a hard life but he was blessed with a loving and faithful wife and three wonderful sons. He had fought a long hard battle of cancer for years. And throughout his life, he kept his heart closed against the Lord. Due to persistent prayers of those who love him and the brotherly love of Sitiawan Methodist Church members, my dad-in-law accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour, follow thereafter by my mum-in-law. They were both baptized last month. His sickness took a bad turn last week and the sons were called to return home to see him for the last time. There were a few times that they thought my dad-in-law was not going to make it but he managed to pull through. It came to a point, my brother-in-law prayed for a confirmation from God the time which my dad-in-law will be called home. The day before my dad-

A Sick Baby Updates

My Little Lady last had fever on Thursday morning. We fed her a dosage of paracertamol at 6.30 a.m. and her fever never came back since then. Her swelling reduced tremendously and there were no rashes on her body. The doctor has informed us that it will take a few days with 2 days of high fever and thereafter the fever will go up and down for another few more days. We praise God for His healing and that my Little Lady was healed within less than 2 days. Her fever started on Tuesday night and Wednesday was the crazy day and by Thursday early morning it was all gone. As I write this I am reminded of this verse;- " I waited patiently for the Lord, he turned to me and heard my cry ." Psalm 40 And thank you all who has kept us in your prayers :) We appreciate it very much. Got to run for now. Since Daddy Yeoh and Little Lady have both recovered, I will be making American breakfast for them...Smoked English Breakfast Sausages (homemade by my brother in law) yummy!
