Snapshots from Israel! Part 1

HEY!!! How are you dears??

Update here and let me know ok?

Below is Part One of my Israel trip account, which i posted on my personal blog. Take a peek at Israel!!!

=)
Luv,
Mirabel

______________________________________________

Two peektures, which i surprisingly discovered, summarise what the Lord has done for me during the Israel trip!

Peekture ONE

Before departure. What a tired and dull looking me! (My spirit was a little down in the week before the trip)

Peekture TWO
Arrival back to Singapore. God works in amazing ways. After two nights of intense lack of sleep due to rushing to airport and travelling on plane, i actually looked more refreshed and joyful this night.

Yes God met me in breathtaking ways in Israel, and He restored my soul and topped up His living waters in me.

Glimpses of the Holy Land!


Thinking Israel is some dusty, rusty undeveloped place? Check out its city of Jaffa! The whole west coast of Israel is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea (above), ever so exotically blue.

One of the trip highlights for many was the Sea of Galilee (below). The peace of God dawned on many of our hearts as Pastor Eugene preached on 'Peace'.

Eunice, Stephanie and I spent the time after Pastor's message singing as we swung our legs over the Galilee waters to the beat of the songs of worship to the Lord.

The picture below of the beach at Caesarea reminded me of this verse Matthew 19:14
'Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." '

Cana - The place where Jesus changed water into wine at a wedding.

I discovered that.... I might have been a MacDonald's kid! (Below: MacDonald's sign in Hebrew)

To our delight we had a Chinese lunch! The fare was simple but it caused our taste buds to rejoice and leap.

The restaurant is opened by a pair of Christian Chinese. Their words on the wall definitely lifted me a lot - that I can always depend on God to start afresh (picture on the left), and God's joy is truly the best medicine (picture on the right) - exactly what God had given for me in the first 3 days of Israel!

Tadaaa..... this is the end of Part 1. Stay tuned for more! Ha.

Want to end here by giving thanks for one of my best travelmates Angela (see below!). We had a wonderful time together the whole of our 4th day, and wow how mightily did we bless each other.

ONE OF THE MOST MINDBLOWING MOMENTS:

Me: 'Angela!! Do you know my greatest passion is dance!' (I had NEVER mentioned this to Angela ever)

Angela: 'So scary. Just a few seconds before you told me this, i had a vision of you dancing with a tambourine! Out of nowhere!'

Both of us: 'Oh GOD.... You are with us!'

Me in my mind: 'Wow God, thank YOu for remembering and affirming this God-given passion!' (Nearly really to tears)

What defines B e a u t y for you?

The world out there is trying to tell us so many things.

That is why it is so important to be aware of what we see, hear and receive as values. When we loosely allow an influx of messages of all assortments come into our minds, our self-esteem can get damaged silently and gradually.

Who and what define beauty for you today?


My earlier post on 'Who defines Beauty for you?'

Here we are at Macs again!

*** Do you know why we just can't keep to the one-line entry instructions ? This is because we got so many stuff to tell each other .
( mainly to tell them how much we love and care for one another )

Especially to Yati and Amy ~~~ We want to wish you all the best in your coming Os ***

+++++++

Tonight's movie left me in a mode of much gratitude in my heart towards the Big Guy up there. His ways are truly always higher and better; and everything He does is truly out of His love for us. =)

I thought the phrase coined in the movie 'A little Random act of Kindness (ARK)' was brilliant too. Just now i began to reflect on how each of you has blessed my life in little yet greatly significant ways.

The ARK each of you has blessed me with:

*Yati - readily offering to carry the things on my hands for me!
*Belinda - a trustworthy and sincere support in the things i do!
*Asyiqin - such a humble and teachable girl who is so willing to receive advice and counsel
*Shereen - art is your gift! Always so touched by the things you make
*Elizabeth - your sweet smiles make me feel so welcome each time!
*Amy - your words have been kind and encouraging to me
*Ronghui - always adore your cuddles and notes of love!
*Ainiah - though you are usually blur, you have brought much joy to the group!

So glad to have all of you! =)

luv,
mirabel

How are all of you ???

I miss all of you ~ I guess all of you are having your holidays right ? Anyone interested to meet up for gathering ? Where is everybody ?

Recently , I am more involved with trybe activities and I am enjoying them . I hasn't been in touch with trybe activities because I had Life Coaching programme then . Last Saturday , I had meet a new batch coachees and I have to work together with a new coaches . It reminds me of the first day when I met you all .

I remembered having fears that you people will reject me , like for instance , " How old is she ? How much do she know about life ? " . I am a very shy person then , often standing beside Mirabel for guidance . I am not confident in speaking to all of you also . But through knowing all of you better , I am able to overcome my fears .

Lots of uncertainty within me with this new batch honestly . The same old fears I had with you all and also a new one like , whether I am able to work with the new coaches . I hope to overcome all these too .

All for now ladies ! Hope to see all of you soon ...

Heya ppl

How have you guys been doing? great? Me having holidays right now...Soon it is going to be the fasting month and also, I am having my attachment soon...hehe.. guess that I am excited over it, gaining new experience and giving a helping hand. And, at the same time for the attachment, I am a bit unsure how it will turn out, whether I would do just fine or otherwise. It is scary at the thought that I am handling lives and and providing care. A little mistake may have adverse effects. Fret not, during my practical test my teacher commented that I was quite careful..hehe..Also, I have to wear the uniform and also black shoes, of which I haven't buy yet..hehe...

Okies.. so enough about me..would like to know about you guys too..go on..blog alright? hehe

(^^!)
