Roslin Orphanage Blog

A very good morning to the world , to the new day and to every one. Here I am in New York just waking up. It has been a good stay for me here in New York for the last few days. Tonight we will be returning to Singapore. I do not know why but after watching all the television networks for these last 3 days about the bailout that USA has done for the economical problems , I am struck by a thought that “hard time is never last”. Indeed it is the opposite of the common thing which has been practiced , that is “good time never last”. May be I got influenced by the thoughts of having a positive thinking is good but as if I reflect back for the last 10 years in my life , I have been given such confirmations from The Lord that He cares , He loves , He does and He love us always. It is for us to love our self ( by eating well, do some exercises and use our time wisely for things to enhance our ability , quality and usefulness) , loves others ( by practicing a simple respect as human beings, make your self available to help out and do your best for the best result that can be expected) , do things ( such as making our own goals come through , other people’s goals come through and aiming for such a success based on common goals, tolerance and togetherness).

It is hard to start some thing good for a better thing , in fact the start it self is always the hardest part to do . There is a thought that the start is actually the first half of the success. Aiming, controlling and conquering your self is the hardest part in life but we must do it to enable us to be on the successful side.

While we got the time we must start for some thing , doing it and achieving it. Start small but aim big, not the other way around that is being practiced by some people ( start big and reach the top quick). Things must be started from small as we were created from a baby first when we came to this world . By gradual improvements and with the tender loving care from our parents we can grow big , healthy and reach our healthy adulthood. So the secret is to start small but we must think tall.

This economical trouble that has been happening was the result of not taking care of the economical health in the good way so the economical health has been disturbed but when the people are working together , nurturing together , watering properly , the economical problem will be able to be solved.

It is the same to our life.

We should use what we are having for the good things in life. For example , with the hands that we are having we can use it for some easy useful activities ( cleaning our neighborhood to enhance the environment healthiness etc) use our hands for writing books , be an author and shared your idea , use your hands for writing good message so others will have a chance to get the benefit from your thoughts.

God has plans for every one of us , nothing is impossible to The Lord and to the people who believe in Him. There will be an infinite possibilities for a small beginning ( especially if God is with us) . With The Lord being for us , again nothing is impossible , nothing to fear and He will do His part on making things to happen and it will happened good, timely and accordingly.

To give us some confidence about God’s involvement I can give you some solid example. The orphanage was in uncertainty about how to feed the children in 10 years time ( when I am supposed to retired) but look what happen now ? Things that I was so worried in the next 10 years , God has eliminated my worries for good. God give us the water which was unthinkable to happened to our barren land . We did our best to the barren land and within 3 months only , what we have been so worried in the next 10 years has been gone. From being facing the uncertainty we became an orphanage that is self sufficient on rice and even more ( we can already share our rice to others and we can make some money if we want to sell the rice ). May be this occurrence can be found else where by other believes but in the Bible we can find it on Isaiah 58 : 10-11. It is written that some thing that is impossible to happen but with God’s blessing it will happen and it has been happening to our ministry at the orphanage. Just by doing our best to what we are having ( the barren land) we were made to be capable to over come the hurdles that were impossible to be overcame based on our normal thoughts. Our 10 years planning which must be done with such a hard work has been shorten and eliminated for good in 3 months time by The Lord, Praise The Lord.

Aim good and do our best , with The Lord being with us all of our short comings will be over came at no time by Him self in His own mysterious way but timely.

I can give you another example which just happening short while ago. As you all know that one of our orphanage boy was excepted into the medical school. There were worries that we were supposedly to have in the financing part but Our Lord will not let us to have the burden became too heavy for us at the orphanage. God sends His people , His children and His Angels to help us out. He sends our dear Captain Len Mc Cully and his dear brother Derek Mc Cully to help us to pay for the medical school entry fees and another “angel friend ” sent to us to pay the boy’s education fees for the next 3 years. Another great friend has told me that he will help Gerson upon doing his specialist to be in Singapore. What we had was to aim high for the boy to be given a better and higher education and without delayed God has done His part by sending us His angels to finance it. Our future worries again being eliminated before we have the chance to feel it, Praise The Lord. Again it is written in the bible Isaiah 65 : 24 which is basically written that God will answer you before you even ask for it and God will hear it before we even say it. Praise The Lord. This verse will also suitable to the title of the entry. There are so much more of examples that I can tell you which were happening to our ministry. Praise The Lord ( for one other solid example please read the story about how we got our water truck)

It is for us to give our best for whatever we have in our possession . If we use our mind , soul and hands to do good to our self, to others and to The Lord, we will be able to over come all of problems regardless what they are.

Do it while we can but do not procrastinate

Shalom Alehem

Have a blessed day to every one .
