A Gift of Christian Calendar with encouraging Bible verse

Dear Friends,

Thanks for stopping by.

♥ I am thankful to God for strengthening me day by day. I was very unwell last week and could not do much thing. I rested most of the time and read or listen to sermons. Thank God for His Words that strengthens us in our bed of afflictions. Thank you for your prayers!

♥ For today's Thankful Thursday, Laurie wrote about God has placed gifts in each of us that we can use for His glory. She said "God is not looking for the "perfect" package, only a willing and an obedient vessel." Indeed, we are but instruments in the hands of mighty God! He has given us different gifts and talents so that we may use them for His glory and the extension of His kingdom. And thank God that He made us all very different and gave us different gifts, so that we can function in different capacity in the body of Christ. So we are not all the same, but we are unique - uniquely gifted by God for His eternal purposes! Praise Him!

♥ I am thankful to God for giving me the gift and joy of making homemade gifts for friends. It is a joy and privilege to serve God in little ways like these.

Here is another Homemade Christian Calendar 2010 that I like to share with you. I took the pictures of these lovely flowers at a flower exhibition at Changi Airport, Singapore. I used these flowers pictures to make these Christian Calendars 2010 with Bible verses that encourage me.

Useful SnapIt Screen Capture Software at special price now!

Dear Friends,

How have you been? I have not been able to post last week because I was very unwell. Thank God that I am feeling better today.

Recently, I tried out a software which I found to be very useful. It is called "SnapIt Screen Capture" and is a product from digeus.com.


SnapIt is an easy to use screen capture software which allows you to easily capture anything on the screen including windows, menus, full screen, rectangular regions, web pages and take shots of moving images.

This software enables me to capture anything I see on my PC screen in 3 simple steps!

1. After I installed the program, I just click at the program's icon and the program will appear minimized in a system tray.

2. Then I just need to Click PrtScr (Print Screen) button and select with mouse what I need to capture on the screen. After selecting the region, it is automatically copied to the clipboard!

3. I can then save this image into a folder or paste it into any program I am using. It is as easy as that!

A very powerful and useful feature of SnapIt is the "Auto save images" option. Once I have chosen this option, every time I capture image on my PC screen I don't need to save it! It will be saved automatically in the selected folder with selected image type.

Recently, I used this software to help me capture some snapshots of pictures I have taken with my video camera. The pictures turned out nice :-)

Here is one of them. I took a video of the famous merlion in Singapore some months back. And from the video, I was able to take a snapshot of the merlion!




This software will also be useful if you wish to take snapshots of what you are typing on the computer and use them as tutorial materials. For example, when I was a their website, I was able to take a snapshot of what their website looks like. So if I am conducting a tutorial, I could have used this as part of my tutorial material! Neat, right?




This useful screen capture software is now offered at a very special price of just US$17.99 (usual price US$25)!

Click here to go to their website and find out more about this useful software! Their website is at http://www.digeus.com/products/snapit/snapit_screen_capture_3_5.html.

You can also download a FREE trial version to try out.

Hope you will find it useful too in your blogging!

Take care and have a blessed week.

Warm Regards,
Nancie

Thankful to God for my mother....




Dear Friends,

Thanks for stopping by. I thank God for seeing me through another week.

I thank God for giving me a loving family and God's many mercies to us.

Today is my mum's 70th birthday! My 2 brothers and 1 sister, together with their family, are back from oversesas to celebrate my mum's birthday. It is such a rare occasion and a very happy one for all of us. Due to being in different countries and their family and work commitments, my siblings have not been able to return at the same time in past years. So today we are all very happy and excited at this wonderful reunion! Thank God for giving us such a precious time.

I thank God for giving me a very caring mother. She took very good care of me and my 3 siblings since we were young. She is a wonderful cook and she manages all the housework in our home very well. She loves all of us very much. She is especially delighted to see her grandchildren (my sister's children).

Ever since my siblings all went overseas, my mum and I have been able to develop a closer relationship. I thank God for giving me grace to take care of her. She has many health problems and is getting weaker as she ages.

Thank God for using her to care for me too whenever I am unwell. She will cook for me and ensure that I eat no matter how sick I am. Sometimes I am so busy that I forget about meal time or rest. She will prompt me and sometimes "nag" at me to take my meals and breaks :-)

I pray that she may see Christ through my life and my love for her. She is still not a believer. Please pray together with me for her salvation. I hope one day she too will come to know the love of God and His mercies.

I thank God for all you, my dear blogging friends and visitors. It is a tremendous blessing to know all of you and to read of God's goodness and mercies to you. Thank you for the many precious lessons you are teaching me and the blessing of just knowing you. I just read Janet's thanksgiving post. Very encouraging. Do go over and read if you can and be encouraged by it.

Resting in God's love.....




Dear Friends,

Thanks for stopping by.

♥ I thank God for seeing me through another week. Today is Thursday. I am reminded to count my blessings and be thankful to God for His many mercies.

♥ I thank God for strengthening through the last 2 weeks. I have rather ill with persistent flu. Thank God that now I am feeling better. Thank God for the much needed time of rest, a refreshment for both my body and soul. I was able to spend more time with the Lord in reading of His Words, prayers and reflections.

♥ I thank God for reminding me that we are accepted by God and beloved by Him through what our Lord Jesus Christ has done in our life in saving us. No matter how weak or imperfect we are, how much we have failed, God's love for us remains unchanging. So I thank God that I can rest in His love.

Recently, I felt quite down when I think of the way bipolar disorder affected my life and my relationships with some people who do not understand me. Some things I did in my effort to serve our Lord has caused some misunderstandings with some people. I felt very discouraged. I felt like a broken vessel and unfit to serve the Lord with the limitations of this illness. In God's mercies, He sends me many encouragements through His Words, His people and various other ways.

The Lord especially encouraged me through a video of a testimony of a couple with 2 special needs children who were brought to know our Lord as their saviours through the severe trials in their life. In a futile effort to seek help for their two children with Down Syndrome, the couple was providentially led to borrow money from a Christian friend who invited them to go to church. When they went to church, their life were changed completely. They have always feel ashamed of having two disabled children but when they heard the Word of God sang and preached, they were moved by the love of God Who accepts them. Gradually they learned to accept and value their children despite the children's disabilities. They began to know the love of God and His many wonderful mercies in their life.

The Lord reminded me that He is in control. He makes no mistakes. Though He may allow us or our loved ones to be afflicted with paralysing diseases or  infirmities, He can still use us for His glory to accomplish His divine purposes. We are but an instrument in His mighty hands. Though broken  and unfit in and of ourselves, the Lord is able to use us as He deems fit. His grace is even more evident in our brokenness. I feel encouraged to continue to look to Him daily for the grace and strength  to live for His glory. May God make me useful in His kingdom despite my  infirmities.

This week, Iris shared about "life" and her dad's life. She said
My dad always used to say “You are unique. Only you can do the things God set you out to do”. I couldn’t agree more. Although there are people with the same skills you might have, but only YOU can do them a specific way.
I am reminded of my father who loves me very much. He always believed that I will do well. I am reminded too that I am unique and God has made me with a purpose, even with this bipolar disorder. There have been many blessings I experienced through this condition too and I must not let the negative things discouraged me. I pray God will give me grace and strength to be a blessing to others.

♥ I thank God for my family and my church.

♥ I thank God for everyone of  you and all my blogging friends. Thanks for all your prayers and encouragements through this blog and email. May God bless you all!
