God's faithfulness

mum has been coughing so badly these few days i wish i could stop it. but with prayers and medication, i know she is on the road to recovery.

was just "so-soing" her back-drenched-with-sweat-from-coughing awhile ago in the dark bedroom with no fan turned on.. (so-soing is an affectionate term we use in our family, to gently keep rubbing/massaging a child's back/head until she/he sleeps)..and it reminded me of our time together when i was studying in taylors college in year 2007..she was undergoing chemotherapy then and i was studying South Australian Matriculation, trying hard to get into medical school haha.. i remembered the times we had together.. the good times when i saw her briefly healthy, smiley and always encouraging :) and also the tough times when i just dint know what to do..but sarah, dad and kakak came to the rescue such as when mum started bleeding or just had bad days..serene was 17 then and had to grow up alot of time alone back in labuan. there were many hours too i realised that i've lost while studying and couldnt be with mum..but she also needed alot of time alone resting..and i remember her favourite song on replay "when the ocean rise and thunders roar, i will soar with You above the storm, Father you are king above the flood, I will be still and know You are God" sung by Don Moen :) I also reminisce how God brought many people into our lives to help us and also blessing me with good friends in school (sooky, yuki, yiwen, chirunu etc). As i look back, i felt that i was abit young then and wished i could have understand things more.. Nevertheless, the "deva-ju" flashbacks tonight really made me so thankful to God for His faithfulness in my family's life :) such a pleasant reminder.

btw, dont worry. mum is just having a common cold and i know she will get better soon :) haha on the other hand, i've been bitten by the reading-bug lately. finishing my 3rd book since coming back and has been very blessed by each of them :) The last one is 'Grasping Heaven' a bibliography of Tami L.Fisk that moved me to tears. I'll be meeting Keili tomorrow too! one of my best friend from IMU and just excited to see her as well as exchange our stories. she flew to Otago and i flew to Brisbane haha (hope i made the right choice, JKJK, haha i've seen so much to know God's presence is with me in Brisbane and moulding me so much there) :):):) "if we are faithless, He will remain faithful, for He cannot disown Hiself" 2Tim2:13. God i praise You for You are forever faithful. :)
