Lend a hand

Seeing children able to come together in a little corner, read, laugh at pictures and discover new things has been something I love watching. Amazing how a hyper active child can sit down and entertain himself with just a colored filled book as he lets his imagination run wild.

I personally never was a bookworm but ironically the library was my hangout place. Maybe it was because it’s a block away from my house, or was it that I could meet new friends, or perhaps it was just somewhere I could have some time alone.

It’s been more than a year that I’ve been in Thailand. During this time, I have collected a quantity of children books donated by friends, and I’ve been thinking of starting a simple library here. The church that I’m presently attending, Mae Sai Grace, has a newly built room for this! The library’s target users are the Burmese migrant children.

At the moment, it is totally empty. To start off the library, we need bookshelves. Been praying about it and we intend to start off with 2. I estimate that one bookshelf would cost about S$50. So we would need S$100. I pray that funds could be raised by 1st June 07.

Two friends of mine are coming up from Singapore to help me set this up among other things. If you wish to donate please email me at
lyd_fong@hotmail.com. Any amount would be so appreciated! I will update this blog once the amount is met.

Still a special place :)

Well, it's been some years...
Weird how a blog can even have attachments to oneself.
Maybe it's just me.
But there is so much memories in here!


Whatever it is, i've finally decided to move to somewhere new!
So here it is http://citygirl-villagekid.blogspot.com

April's hostel trip 038

I just returned from helping out at an English Summer Camp yesterday. Let me just recall to you one of the many great laughs I had. We woke up at 5:30am each morning for aerobics and this was what the instructor says "All light class now put your hands on the air, 1, 2, 3 now stick it on the left. Good! Now stick it on the light."

Well, I'm off to Laos in 15mins time for the next few days. 12 different transports, 32 hours on the road once again! I will SURVIVE! i pray... Going to get our dependent visa this time. May we once again find favor in the eyes of the authorities.

toodles :)

1st yr anniversary

Last year on this day, I stepped out onto the mission field with my family.
Last year on this night, i cried myself to sleep as I saw what life was going to be like.
Today, one year has gone by...
Tonight, tears once again wells up my eyes as I give thanks and praise to my Abba Father!
 
"You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance" Ps 66:12
 
Through this year, He's brought me through deep waters.
To feel and understand His heartbeat.
I still miss Singapore.
I still  miss my dear brother.
I still miss my friends.
But i've definately not missed out on experiencing God.
How thankful I am for a God who knows me!
My every need, my every thoughts.
 
May this recent answered prayer be of an encouragement to you.
Never doubt God.
Ask in Faith.
 
I've been praying for another motorbike for a long time.
It's been difficult to travel around with one.
When we go to church, we've to make 3 trips there.
Now, its been especially troublesome as my schdule for teaching clashes with my Fathers.
How will God provide?
I did not know.
I just prayed.
 
Days passed, Months passed.
Finally one day, i heard a passing comment.
A missionary was going up to the mountains and was leaving her dog and motorbike here!
WOHO! "But what makes you think she'll lend it to you?"
True enough, i heard nothing and decided to forget about it.
 
Then, last week we had a farewell party for her before she left in 2 days.
She talked with me about giving her dog away.
I secretly wished she talked about lending the motorbike. 
I really wanted to ask her but I wanted it from the Lord.
So i kept silent.
 
We had a great night of food and games.
I however, was really praying.
I knew if nothing was said tonight- no motorbike.
Well, it was time to go!
That's it God. I guess you'll provide in a different way.
I was already walking out the gate by now.
 
"By the way, would my motorbike be of any use to you?"
I turned around... looked at her.
Oh God you are indeed AWESOME!
He wanted to test me to the very end.
 
My friends, thanks once again for keeping us in your prayers.
