Pillow inspire from the song 'Healer' - Kari Jobe

My inspiration to make a pillow from this Youtube Video (Kari Jobe singing 'Healer' to a little girl (who is battling cancer)




Heal me, O Lord and I
Shall be healed. Save me
And I shall be saved.
For you are my praise.
Jeremiah 17:14

VERSE:
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
and heal all my disease

PRE-CHORUS:
I trust in You
I trust in You

CHORUS:
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need

VERSE:
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
and heal all my disease

PRE-CHORUS:
I trust in You
Lord, I trust in You

CHORUS:
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need

BRIDGE:
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

CHORUS:
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
Oh yes You are, yes You are
I believe You're my portion
Lord, I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
More than enough for me,
Jesus You're all I need
More than enough for me,
Jesus You're all I need

ENDING:
You're my Healer, my Healer

What better gift than having your baby name embroider on a pillow that can keep forever!Not forget age gracefully!

Something to share -10 March 2012


I call my parents today on skype where they lived in a small town just outside KL, Malaysia. My parents doesn't have a computer so they can't see my blog and my picture. I'm super excited that l'm visiting them this year and telling them how important internet have been in our daily life. I did webcam with them when they visiting my sister so they did see my handmade pillow and they are happy and supporting.

I feel so much better after talking to them. I was feeling defeated maybe because i want mentally support and after talking to my mum i feel i can achieve anything i want if i work hard and not giving up.

I always forget to ask my mum how she learn sewing every time i phoned her. Today, i remember and ask her and i found out that she also self-taught and brought herself a sewing machine just like me. I can't express how great feeling i feel inside. Those day they don't have alot of sewing classes in the 1950's and it not cheap. My mum have very little education as she came from a poor family so to learn in English is definitely impossible. So, my thought is she learn sewing with others friends and apply for a factory job in her early 20s.
I'm going to take lots of picture of my mum, her Singer paddling sewing machine ( i don't know what model) and also the tote bag & string pouch i made for both of them as i sent it via Air Mail. I haven't seen them nearly 3.5 years since 2008. Also, the Hello Kitty sling bag i made for my niece, i want to give her and i haven't seen her since her birth in 2010.

This is something i want to say and hope you enjoy reading.
