Sunday, 1st March

Been busy the whole of this week so i've not been 

updating my blog regularly, anyway this post was

supposed to be on Sunday, 1st March

Here's one of the hymns we sang in church. 

Its in dutch, but i recognized the melody and tried

my best to pronounce the words... 

haha brings back memories trying to sing "muneru valiba"

in primary school during the national day periods =)

Here's the english version:

Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In ev’ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav’nly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.

William and I were invited to Pastor Jacob's house

after service along with some other members. We spent

the rest of the afternoon talking and snacking on bread & 

mushroom soup and we really enjoyed the fellowship.

I didnt bring my camera out that day, if not i would

have taken more pictures of their home. The furnishings

are simple but cosy and there are lots of plants and flowers

in the house. They have a very nice garden as well, cos their

fav pasttime is doing gardening =)
