God Has Bigger Plans
by Pastor Sam, Grace Family Sanctuary Banting



Introduction
- Covenated people are never abandoned or forsaken by God

Lamentations 3:31-3331 For the Lord will not cast off forever.
32 Though He causes grief,
Yet He will show compassion
According to the multitude of His mercies.
33 For He does not afflict willingly,
Nor grieve the children of men.
Jeremiah 29:1111 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Called with a Destiny- Believes in God's unconditional love
- Covenated people are destined people
- Believes in God's possibilities
- Believes in God's divine provision
- Believes in God's divine favor and protection
- Believes in God's divine power to deliver
Esther 2:8-118 So it was, when the king’s command and decree were heard, and when many young women were gathered at Shushan the citadel, under the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was taken to the king’s palace, into the care of Hegai the custodian of the women. 9 Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king’s palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women. 10 Esther had not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it. 11 And every day Mordecai paced in front of the court of the women’s quarters, to learn of Esther’s welfare and what was happening to her.
Chosen For A PurposeEsther 4:88 He also gave him a copy of the written decree for their destruction, which was given at Shushan, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her, and that he might command her to go in to the king to make supplication to him and plead before him for her people.
Consecrated For the Challenge
- .."Go gather together all the Jews who are in Susa and fast for me.. I and my maids will fast as you do.."
- Prayer is a principal thing, fasting is a fasting humiliation of the soul.
Courageous to Face Eventualities
- ..."I will go to the King, even though it is against the law, And if I perish, I perish.."
Confirmation God's in Control
Esther 6:1
1 That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
- God is in control and always at work, yet Mordecai and Esther had to act. If God is for us, who will be against us... :)

8 November 2007 Ulu Yam

HAPPY DIWALI everyone!! Not only Indians celebrate Diwali, but even Chinese and Malays also share this day!! I love holidays.. give me more holidays!!!!

On this public holiday, me and my old KTAR mates decided to go Ulu Yam to find our most busy friend. It's really extremely hard to date her for any gathering, even a small yum cha also we failed to date her. Really a busy woman, as busy as a CEO. Due to this, me, Lay Ling, Chih Lih, Kim Lean and Soh Wen decided to drive all the way down to Ulu Yam just to meet up with her. Who knows, really a sad case.. she forgot that we have already dated her one week ago. :( Aih, busy until forget?? I'm so sad...

We tried to call her several times until the dial ended with a voice mail. Fail to meet her again?? :( We reached Ulu Yam about 10.30 am and we still failed to contact her. Everyone seemed to be kinda of disappointed as we drove all the way down to Ulu Yam. Thought wanna have lunch with her *expected her to bring us to the famous loh mee..slurpsss*and then go for waterfall, mana tahu.. ended up 5 of us at a "non famous" Loh Mee stall.

Finally, we managed to contact her.. mana tahu she was like a Sleeping Beauty.. lolz. Really a good sleep until she can't hear her phone rang at all..

Her make up sets..

We decided to go for steamboat for lunch but too bad, the shop only opens at night...so, where to go now??

At last, Thai restaurant was the final decision..This is how the shop looks like.. and this is the place where you can get good food.. haha.

My Luk Mei *cannot see the food rite*.. super nice.

Our Thai mee hoon.. yummy yummy... hehe

Yoh, just by the look and you will know how sour and spicy it is !!!

Thai style fried fish.. first time trying this style, and it's really awesome!

Kesian the fish.. left the bones.. look at the number of chopsticks koreking the meat..haha.

She's always like this.. dunwan to take pics. Haih... :(

After makan, then it's time for air panas. Too bad, the pics are with Chih Lih and not sure when i can get all the pics. So, no pics for air panas..

Sampat college girls taking group photo.. haha. As if I'm the main actress right in the middle rite.. haha.

Me, Chih Lih and Yen Foong.. =P

Lolz, Chih Lih.. dunla spoilkan our pic!! Jealous?? No worries, I can always have a photo with u too.. *bler. Hahahaha....

Yeah, perfect shot with Foong.. hehe. No more lamp post this time.. haha.

Dinner time again.. im gaining weight!! Seriously!!!

That's all bout the trip to Ulu Yam. Guess it's more into makan trip than gathering trip. Hahaha...

Chioaz...

5 November 2007 | Kepong : Restoran Fortune Steamboat

Well, let me begin something bout food again! Gosh, without realising, I'm putting on freaking weight!! Help me!! I just can't resist from eating good and extra large food. Can you believe that?? *sakit kepala* If you're my good friend, bring me out for jogging/exercise..else I will feel guilty for eating so much.. :(

Yoh, I better stop talking bout FAT and LEMAK. Let's continue with my blurbs.. :P
Just a diet secret to share with everyone especially gurls... if you're hungry, dun go to JJ or Carefour.. else you will definitely grab more things than usual. Everything seem to catch ur eyeballs and in the end, you will fill up the whole trolley.. true? Hahaha..

Almost everyday, we cook at home and till today..Justin said, It's time to rest and let's enjoy BUFFET STEAMBOAT!!! *understanding bf rite..haha* Yeah.. we were pretty excited when we discussed bout the stuffed fish balls, all sorts of mushrooms, prawns, crabs, cuttle fish, sotong, fish, and the all kinds of balls.. yummy yummy. Like Jakun rite.. =P Our stomach started to make all kind of noises when we imagine all the yummy food.. haha.

This is the steamboat buffet at Kepong which was introduced by my colleagues. Quite clean and good environment, maybe because it's still new. The food are quite clean as well, thumbs up for this newly built shop!! Price is reasonable as well *eat all you can*, RM18.80 for adult, RM16.80 for children from 125cm-140cm, RM 8.80 for children below 125cm and baby is free. Privilege to be a baby rite.. so, stay young forever!!

*Forgot to bring my digicam, but my Treo serves me good!!! Proud of you Treo!!!*



Justin waiting patiently for the ying yong soup to boil.. Chicken and tomyam soup!! Yummy yummy.. slurps!!



Now it's me starring at all the food in front of me!



Yeah!!! Time to eat... wahahaha... Look at this pic if you're hungry!! Guarantee ur saliva will flow.. haha.



3 rounds of food was superb filling and it's time for dessert!! Too bad, choco chips was out of stock and the only flavors left were jagung, strawberry, honey dew and peach. Haih.. anyway, the jagung and strawberry were delicious too. It's not the cheap kind of ice cream, but specially delivered by Kings' ice cream.. so you can imagine how good is that until we had 3 cups of ice cream.. haha.



Finally, due to the filling stomach, we decided to take a walk at Jaya Jusco Kepong just right opposite the shop. First time being there and yeah, I prefer Jusco Kepong than Jusco Wangsa Maju.. so much difference and so much more bigger. Too bad, it's quite a distance..
