Each morning in school, my girl attends a christian prayer before going into her class and I know she is in the "low profile" category, keeping quiet at all times....
Last week, on one Tuesday afternoon as she got into my car after school, she gave me a worried groan, "Mi ah... I am instructed to lead a prayer sermon this friday... how ah...how...??" (this is the daughter I know, who is always overanxious type)
First thing that came to my mind, "ask goh goh to help." Her brother should know what to do.. he is the steady one... Me? I depend on him too if given a choice...
But on that particular night, mother and daughter sprawling on the bed, scorched over the Bible for some suitable verses and finally, we came up with LOVE...1 corinthians 13:4 and my girl added one more loving verse in 1John 3:11 LOVE EACH OTHER.....
I am proud of her, she has done some elaboration on these verses and sharing them in front of her school mates during the christian fellowship on Friday morning....
All praises to our God for showing her the way, giving her the courage to lead despite her fear and shyness....

Oh..thats nice... Now I miss my mom (in KK) she will always do the same to me and all my sisters... (Sharing bible verse) and she will always ask us to elaborate what I think about the verse... T_T.... Even on this age...
hi Loke, thanks for coming by.. yes, at times I am proud of her ... and at times, not at all.....hahhaa...
cathJ, it is a good practice to do some bible verses together but for me, it is a once awhile thingy :(
...and love thy enemies as you love yourself.
amen to that, stp... let us remember that..
every little step counts, and i believe she will do good, just like the mother
thank you Eugene but i hope she wont follow in my footsteps... should be much much much.. more better.. haha...
Thank God for guiding her and showing her the light to pass by her fear of the prayers she needed to do.
Your girl is great little girl.
that's very good mother n daughter team work..:)
thank you ladyviral and rachel.. hope we can stay that way always.. even as mother and daughter, we need to compromise along the way.. sometimes we are displeased with each other and other times, a good bonding too...guess this is family life.. :)
that's really great. one day ur daughter will look back and think of u dearly. and i'm sure after this she's more confident to do it again. i am like that too. always shy to be in the spotlight. but when given a chance i want to do my best and never back away. maybe u should encourage ur daughter more often to boost her confidence.
hi tiee, yes, hope she will overcome her shyness as she gets more exposed in school.. don't be like me, i am also like that in school last time.. low profile, not popular at all.. haha...
ooooooooooo
btw do u hae check box??
You must be a proud Mom--she will overcome the shyness as she grow up.Remember, she's your daughter!!She'll be like you,too!!Lively Claire!!\(^0^)/
