Walking in the Pathway she Believes in

Living the life,she believes in........ever since a little girl, there had been a part of Marie, who yearned for a spirit filled life, God's little girl. There were vague memories of a little girl in awe, breathless feelings of deep reverence flooding through her, whenever she had the courage to slip into this very cool, this very quiet , wonderful holy place of worship... she understood, to be the place where God dwells. She would tip toed in, so as not to disturb the Master of the Holy Dwelling- when nobody is around of course.... And whenever she had the courage to do that, she always felt as though, there were angels present..... She always felt that any moment, she would hear the voice of God......telling her " Now, be good"...She was never afraid, just so very overwhelmed...The nuns told her wonderful stories of God and His angels.....and she was very attentive, very receptive and I guess that was when her love story with the Catholic church begun.
..
And the structures, the statues inside the church building, they appeared so gigantic to a little girl.....the pew...rows and rows of them, appeared almost forbidding....and yet she wanted the right to sit on those beautiful benches. The memories had remain vivid and the yearning to belong lingered on as the years passed. Yes, it had been a long journey of many challenges but she made it to the finishing line.The Lord had held on to her fast, securely...... and she made it...the path she now walks, is the way, she believes in and wanted ....there is such a sense of belonging.....words cannot describe.........this call..... that God intends she responds.
In the stillness of the night; And in the early morn, I feel Thy Holy Presence Lord, In the gentle breeze, the rustling of leaves, I see Thou everywhere Lord! Creation!Time!..Life..where would they be without Thee.. Oh God!

The lovely Quaint Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes, Klang

It’s the most quaint sanctuary I found tonight.The moment I stepped into the new chapel, my heart stopped in awe for a breathless moment., lovely! Picture perfect! The large cross holds one, spell bound and at once we identity ourselves with the Saviour; how could we not, when He is so prominently there??? And Methinks, Someone up there is smiling as well. Well pleased . Marie love the look of yester-years in the new and she is certain, many who attended this evening's praise and worship session, felt the Lord's presence tonight, especially after our voices rang out to welcome Him into our lives, with the "Come Holy Spirit" song.
..
Holy Spirit inspired decision indeed, turning the old class rooms into this beautiful chapel. Praise the Good Lord and God!!!
The lightness in my heart, the warm glow, bursting out in happy spontaneous smiles; it tells me Lord, how close You are!

What a Friend, we have in Jesus

Someone forwarded me a beautiful piece of words on the importance of having friends in life. It goes something like this.....

Once in a life time
You find a friend
Who touches not only your heart
but your soul

And my heart burst out with JESUS!

Once in a lifetime
You discover someone
Who stands besides you
not over you

Again, my heart sings out JESUS!

Too many people stand over us, but our Lord, stands with us, for us and besides us! What could be more heart-warming than that??? People! We are blessed indeed!

Songs of Praise

I cried out to you Lord, I wailed for you and Lo! you were here all the time!

It sure feels good to be back in the Church building, worshipping the Lord. A homecoming definitely! Yes! it really felt so wonderfully good. ...And the pure vibrant joy of the Alleluia sung by a nightingale this evening! So utterly soul lifting , so beautiful, so befitting the joy of being back to our beautiful church building again , celebrating the Eucharist. Wow!
..
The labour of love chipped in by so many; those who worked so hard, to ensure that the beautiful church building of Our Lady of Lourdes Klang, stands tall, proud and majestic in this lovely town of ours... for a long, long time...Folks, good Rev. , how proud, you must be! Can you see footprints with your names firmly imprinted , shining out of the very floors of OLL?? Be very proud!
In the quiet and stillness of the morning, I know you are with me, Oh Lord! and My spirit moves forth in confidence in your comforting Presence Lord God!!!!

OLL Sunday June 7th 2009

It is certainly more comfortable sitting on individual chairs for church service but somehow it took away the church atmosphere; for Marie, the kneeling aspect brings out the connection ; the humbling of self before the Holy Father, creates the bridge.... Thank God, the church renovation is almost completed and we could move back to the church proper for next weekend's Eucharistic celebrations. Wasn't so bad with all the pews in place but once that was removed, it just does not feel the same... You agree folks??
..
This week Marie would like to express appreciation to the church administrative team who took so much trouble preparing the weekly church bulletin. The articles are getting so much more interesting and informative. Sometimes, time is so limited and the weekly bulletin is just the thing to provide the update. Great stuff folks!! God Bless!

Dedicated to Angels in Marie's Life

It is astonishing how we could walk around with our eyes closed and never see the angels God sends into our lives to smooth en our lives and even if we do see them, we do not give them enough appreciation. There are a great number of angels in Maire's life, her siblings, her friends.., her mentors etc...etc... She has this group of people who provides comfort, care and prayers. People who choses to remain very much in the background to provide suppport , catch her just in case she tilts and falls. They provide the mountain to steady Marie. Yesterday, Marie was over at the home of a very dear friend and sponsor, and was very touched , the concern shown, not only her spiritual journey but just what goes on in Marie's life..... you know just allowing the outpouring of steam and garbage, a confused steam, you normally would not tell anyone but you tell to your best friend and expect her to understand and not judge. Marie have had the priviledge. Thank you friend! Marie also thank new found friends in her BEC, who put into action, and emulate the Lord's love for neighbour and community. We are a community people! Praise the Lord!

A call for Prayers

In you, my Lord God, do I placed my trust. In your Holy Spirit, I call for guidance and light. God of Providence, in you, my needs, I entrust ..

Marie calls upon her friends and all those who chanced upon her site, pray for Marie. There are just so many needs and Marie do not want stage play, she just wants to be genuine , and sincere, without airs and without having to resort to playing dirty tricks to get by life.
..

Marie is just so weary of all the heavy and dirty politics, swarming around her. Every Tom, Dick and Harry, wears a talismen to protect, to suppress or control the other. We, people of faith, keep God in our hearts..We need prayers brethren, you and I, we need the powerful intervention of God to keep us from harm and keep us going in this treacherous world. Pray that God strengthen us through his Holy Spirit folks!!!
..
I do not know how many of you folks out there are like Marie, seeking daily refuge in the sanctuary of God. Sometimes, we cannot even trust ourselves, it is only in God, that all things are perfect and true, and Marie prays hard that she has the continued strength to walk this journey as she knows she should and not be weaken and laid astray by worldly needs.
