My!My!My!

thus far has the Lord helped us

2007-09-07T23:59:00.000+08:00

Today has been amazing... what can I say but give God ALL praise and glory.. there was so much joy tat I literally jumped up and down in my room for almost 5 secs haha.. truly the words of Isaiah were true. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand... For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." (Isaiah 41:10,13)

so what exactly happened? two words. International History... When I did my IH paper, I felt that it was the worst of all the papers I did... not only did I not finish doing it, I thought tat I did the questions horribly... when I left the exam hall I just knew that I was gonna fail... just last week i think, I've had 2 nightmares where I failed IH... it was really scary... till today...

Today, I was in school for open house preparations.. was just standing there when Mr Ngoei popped out of no where and approached me... he started with his usual, ur hand writing is bad and time management thing... While he was doing that... I was just expecting him to go on about how badly I did... how rubbish my arguments were... but no... Instead, he told me... I think you can get an A during the A lvls for Hist... I was stunned and shocked.. as in seriously... I was just amazed... ended up, he told me I had a high B for my IH for prelims...

Looking back... God had been trying to comfort me all along... just yesteday and the day before I was reading Isaiah.. and after today, I look back and I see where it all fits together.
Isaiah 42:6, 14-15 says:
"I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,

"Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob,
O little Israel,
for I myself will help you," declares the LORD,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

"See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,
new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains and crush them,
and reduce the hills to chaff.

and in Isaiah 43:11-12:
I, even I, am the LORD,
and apart from me there is no savior.

I have revealed and saved and proclaimed-
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God.

what can I say but to give all praise and glory to God.. this isn't the first time He did such a thing... it seems that God always uses my weaknesses and my 'lack of preparation' (not because I don't want to study, but because of the long periods I spend with Him), to do something unbelievable and impossible, that I and all around me may know that this is the work of the Lord.

Shine O Lord... Shine through Your servant... You have heard my prayer to "do mircales in my life... [to] glorify Yourself in me... [to] do impossible things in my life that when others look at me, they will now that it is impossible and look up and praise You... [for] my life [to] be a signboard showing that You alone are God" (31/8/07)

God loves you

2007-08-31T23:51:00.000+08:00

Heyy ! back here again from what seems to be occasional visits of this good'ol blog of mine.. it sure has been a while.. my prelims just ended abt a week ago.. and have been pretty slack-ish this past few days.. got to more free time now, which is a good and bad thing.. on one had certain days I spend long hours with God.. on other days.. I tend to prioritise fun before God.. sorry abt that God...

Well.. I just had a wonderful quiet time abt an hour ago.. in fact... I felt led towards the end of my qt to come and blog and just to testify abt Him! haha.. so here we go...

Frenzy fills our lives because if we stop running, we may have to face an empty silence or a nagging voice from God. Many a times, we listen to the loud voices of the world saying, "prove that you are worth something; do something revelant, spectacular or powerful and then you will earn the love you so desire". If you find youself reluctant to enjoy God's presence in certain moments of life, that may be a signal that you have fears about whether God loves you. when we embrace our self-importance, it becomes clear that we want to be loved and valued. God's love tackles us, telling us that we can quit asking what we must do to be loved and valued because his answer is nothing. He already loves and values us deper and steadier than any human could.
-extracted and paraphrased from Jan Johnson's "Enjoying The Presence of God"

2007-07-10T14:59:00.000+08:00

decisions

2007-02-20T21:00:00.000+08:00

you know for this past few days... one thing has been constantly on my mind... Orientation 2... Deciding whetheror not to take part in O2... Was asked once last week and I rejected them... and jsut yesterday.. I was approached again and was asked... and now... I'm seriously at a loss on wat I should do...

I really really want to go for O2 but then I know I'm just gonna get myself more busy.. though it's only 3 school days... and not to mention I dun really have the support of my CF comm and madams.. sigh...

God, hear my plea and lead me the way everlasting.. the way tat wld give You the greatest glory

missing church

2007-01-21T20:39:00.000+08:00

My blog feels so left out on all the activities I've been busy with this past month... well.. I'm not gonna go blogging abt everything that happened.. haha.. too many things.. it's almost crazy.. from Orientation in the first week, to studying, to Masterlife just yesterday...

but you know... today in church, when I was waiting for my mum... When Angel, Jon n Portia asked me to go do tat 'puppy dog' face... it really brought back memories.. and suddenly I just felt so sad that I was unable to have lunch with them... arghh.. I miss spending quality time with my church friends... I miss you guys!!! :( I miss all the crazy moments we used to have just hanging out, taking neoprints, and Jon, talking with u till really really late into the night... I really dunno wat else to say but.. I love you guys n I treasure every moment spent with u all...

will it be the same?

OGL camp

2006-12-23T23:52:00.000+08:00

wow... how time flies and how things to do just piles one on top of the other... didn't even have time to blog abt my Taiwan trip before I was off to OGL camp... well just to briefly sum up wat I did in Taiwan... I shopped ALOT (practically bought a whole outfit including jacket and shoes) ate ALOT (Taiwan fried chicken almost everyday?) and not to mention met LOADS of ppl there... I met like Mr Tanu, Mr Sim, and Caleb and his family + Grace like twice !! and also met Joanne at some hotel and one J2 AC girl which was on the same tour as I... it's as if everyone's going to Taiwan !!! haha... oh well.. didn't get to meet Javis though.. oh well...

Before I could do much, the day after I was back in Singapore I was in school (again) settling Clan stuff for orientation and Steph happily wasn't there, leaving lonely'ol me to figure out cheers for our clan but thanks be to God that we had an extension and ~~all~~ most of our cheers turned out fine for OGL camp !! not to mention during the camp itself, there were so many new creative cheers haha...

Sunday wasn't much of a Sabbath this time... after enjoying the fellowship of my church ppl in the morning, I had to rush off to Faith Methodist for their Celebration Sunday and share abt the mission trip which I had to speak off the top of my head haha.. but praise God, it went well (: after tat some of my CF comm members went off to Vivo where... we walked ard aimlessly for abt an hour and finally settled down at Starbucks where I had a nice cold coffee.. after tat, mum came and had nice Indian food !! haha :D

Monday came and so did OGL camp for the next 4 days.. it was a day camp and it sure was draining... but hey.. it was REALLY fun! apart frm making new frens and changing the way I tot of some ppl, I really had loads of fun playing all those dirty muddy games ! haha.. and I must say... the rain made everything so much more fun... minus the lightning of course.. Mr Joel Mark and his cat 1 haha.. can't wait for the make up OGL camp the Orientation ! muahaha... the only thing I'm really quite worried abt is the March-In dance... it's not easy to dance that dance ok !! and yes I know I look weird doing that banghra dance thingy especially with someone so good at it.. RAWR... I need to practice !! I wonder how I'm gonna dance in my costume though... hrmmm... oh well..

Looking back this whole holiday... I must say it's the busiest I've ever been fr school activities at least... I need to study and stop wasting time playing useless computer games, conquering cities etc... ahha.. good thing my game didn't end off at a very good note n now I dun really feel like playing haha.. I thank God for that actually haha :D

wow.. it's already Christmas eve.... once again.. how time flies... but you know.. you guys out there... even in all the festivities, let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas... It's not abt Santa... neither is it abt Frosty the snowman haha.. and it's not quite abt giving more than it is a gift... you know... abt 2000 yrs ago.. God, the creator of the universe, the all powerful God.. came and penetrated the universe and bounded Himself as a man to be born as Jesus Christ.. a child that would one day grow up and change the world.. a child that would finally reconcile man with God... Hallelujah!

Taiwan

2006-12-08T23:06:00.000+08:00

you know... I feel like I'm only blogging on days I leave for something or days I come back from something... haha.. so yupp here goes... I'm leavinf for Taiwan tmr! well.. actually.. I gotta be awake in 3 hrs time and I kinda have to be at the airport by............ 6am ! yupp flight's probably at 8am.. so in abt.. 7hrs I'll be on nice little SQ flying to nice little Taiwan! haha

well.. anyways, the past few days have been well.. quite busy here and there.. although yesterday I had the opportunity to stay at home the whole day and I play my nice little new game called... Medieval II Total War.. it's really fun and all.. heh... then suddenly I receive a call out of no where telling me I gotta go for some history Society gathering which, my fault, I kinda totally forgot abt.. haha..

ok I can't take it anymore.. my back is seriously killing me... I better go slp. good nite ppl (: God bless

heal me !

2006-12-03T00:37:00.000+08:00

AHHH roar I've been having this terribly irritating stomach ache this past.. 2 days? RAWR
GOD HEAL ME !

back !

2006-12-01T10:35:00.000+08:00

I'm back I'm back I'm BACK ! hahaha.. lalala.. got back actually on Wed night.. haha.. the mission trip was quite an expereince.. it's my second time back to Myanmar.. been there last year.. and... the people there remember me ! haha.. like the translator and the kids at the orphanage ! haha it was good ( : lalala it was slightly different than last time cos this time.. we really ate like kings la hahaa.. you know.. most ppl think that you know.. you go on a mission trip.. you eat bad.. sleep bad.. etc.. but.. we stayed at some 4 or 5 star hotel and ate like at the hotel almost every night! not to mention 2 ppl slept in a room with 2 queen size beds.. ie. we have a queen size bed each.. mann.. talk abt luxury... and I bought doughnuts ! haha.. I still remember the doughnuts from the last mission trip.. Uncle Mak ALWAYS bought us those chocolate filled doughnuts heh heh heh..

After landing down we had a good time celebrating Joel's birthday at Swensons ! haha.. it was good haha.. got home rather late though.. and before I knew it, on Thursday morning, I was back in school again learning how to dance the orientation couple dance haha.. it's kinda crazy but hey ! it's been good haha.. good thing for the next few days till I fly off to Taiwan.. I have this nice little break from almost everything minus the p6 overnighter which I wld be preaching but I choose to look at this overnighter as a time of rest, in the Lord...

Have not really had a good, proper and consistent queit time recently.. and I think this is one thing the devil is gonna use to draw me away from God.. that is.. business.. it's like one thing after another comes my way and by the time I get home I'm almost half dead.. haha.. but yet.. I know in all this business.. God's in control of my time.. and I'll still try, though many times i fail, to do my quiet time and strive t live life for Him. devil you cannot bring me away from God because He is my first love ( :

lalala.. ok I shall go spend time with God now and go prepare my sermon before more OGL stuff come up again hahaha,, cya !

I'll just go along cos I really wanna live my life according to His purposes.. after I kinda let go of everything, I saw on my table this verse which I got from CF the first ever time I went.. it read:
God will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love
-Lamentations 3:32
(:

Thank You Lord for everything.no matter wat happens, even if all else fails and even if today's history test did not well.. my life still goes out to You. Come take Your place of honor in my life

sin

2006-09-25T00:15:00.000+08:00

Blessed is he
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man
whose sin the LORD does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.

For day and night
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
Selah

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD "-
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
Selah
-Psalms 32:1-5

Managed to find some time to blog haha.. well.. exams are hmm a few days away? haha but hey.. I do not put my trust in my studying, but I put my hope and trust in GOD.. to you guys out there whho are really really stressed out by all the studying and very worried abt ur grades and stuff.. all I can say is... let go .. let go of your exams.. as I've mentioned this to many ppl before, God knows what you are already gonna get right now.. and since God wants the best, His best, for you, then why worry? Pour our your worries to God and leave it with Him (:

God, is bigger than,
the air I breathe
the world we'll leave

God, will save the day
and all will say
my Glorious

You know, I was just flipping tru this Christian mag this afternoon when I got home.. apprently, my brother got it when he went to City Harvest Church I dunno when ago haha.. but he's been going there for a while now...anyways, was just reading this article on how City Harvest Church grew and they intreviewed Rev. Kong Hee the senior pastor.. If you know me, I'm usually not really open about CHC stuff.. but hey, God used his reply to touch my heart and I believe at times.. we are like that..

He said that about 16yrs ago, his church's growth has been stagnating for a long time of about 700 people.. He tried all kinds of means to grow his church from conferences to evangelistic meetings.. then one day as he was praying.. The Holy Spirit said to him,"You're doing all these things just to grow your church. You are not seeing the people as real people who need to be loved and cared for- to you, they are just numbers"

Are we finding ways and means to grow our church or our Christian organisations for the sake of statistics? or do we really care for them?

Vanity fair

Looking good is big business in Singapore.
The cosmetics and toiletries market here was worth over US$350 million in 2002! Not surprising really, when you consider the bewildering variety of beauty products that are available. Even the guys are going for facials nowadays. As someone's screensaver slogan put it: Looking good is a fulltime job.

Physical appearance aside, we're also obsessed with our reputation — how others view us and what they say about us. So we are careful to say the right things and be seen with the right people.That's the Idolatry of Image — the vain obsession with ourselves, our reputation, our standing before men.

The god of image demands a lot from its devotees.The quest to be popular and well regarded is an one.There will always be someone new to impress. You will
have to try harder to outshine another person. Looking
good truly becomes a fulltime job.

Before long, honesty and integrity go out the window. To sound clever, you may sometimes have to plagarise, and steal someone else's ideas, to look cool, you will have to stop associating with certain types of people, like the poor, the uneducated, the uncouth pre-believer.

Jesus vehemently condemned the hypocrisy of the Pharisees during His time. He saw right through their PR attempts, and into their deceptive hearts. How would Jesus evaluate our dealings before men? How would He describe the motives and intentions that lie beneath our public words and actions?

Examine your heart. Go deep. Have you been seduced by the god of image? Are you obsessed with how others perceive you? Have you been pretending to be smarter or more spiritual than you really are? Do you fish for compliments? Are you easily upset when others misinterpret or misunderstand you? This is a very private, personal issue. God knows. You know. Humbly seek God in honest confession and repentance.

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.' Matthew 23:1-7

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. Matthew 23:25-28

forgiveness

2006-07-03T22:37:00.000+08:00

Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.

Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.

Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.

Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

Surely you desire truth in the inner parts ;
you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.

Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.

You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.

In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;
build up the walls of Jerusalem.

Then there will be righteous sacrifices,
whole burnt offerings to delight you;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.

-Psalms 51

fast

2006-07-02T22:35:00.000+08:00

It is written:
"When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Choronicles 7:13-14

How far are we willing to go to see revival? God's word gives us the conditions for revival to happen.. to humble ourselves...to seek His face.. and turn from our wicked ways.. I strongly believe that we will see revival real soon.. God has been impressing this verse upon my heart, and He has be burdening me for revival ever since that baptist youth conference/rally just before the June hols..looking at the things happening around me.. I believe God is moving certain things into place before revival begins..like the 40 day fast thing that is going on.. and even for myself.. placing me in a position where I can influence and change certain things.. O Lord.. how long more Lord till you send revival...

You know.. for all of you Christians out there reading.. I just wanna encourage you.. to come back to God.. surrender your all to Him.. give Him back your life..let Him do as He pleases with it.. let us really turn from our wicked ways and seek His face..let us tell God, here we are! send us ! Use us to touch the lives of the lost.. use us to bring Your gospel to the nations.. don't let lukewarmness rob u frm acomplishing God's will for you life.. be ready to give up your current ways, to give up ur sinful lifestyle and live one that pleases Him.. How far are you willing to go to see revival?

let us pray and fast 40 days leading up to our nations birthday:

First day was pretty slack.. got to the resort off KL at abt3.. then we webt straight for a theme talk which was pretty good ! the theme of the camp was livng with a passionate vision.. so yup.. the first one was ok.. although think we weren't quite settled to recieve a sermon haha.. then after tat we settled in our rooms and after tat had grp time.. got to know some of the adults better n found out tat they r actually quite childish hahaha.. uncle Kim Young.. tsk tsk tsk hahaa oh and I managed to see Amos there ! haha had a good time catching up with my good ol friend :D

Second day started off early and we went for breakfast.. I'm telling u the food is actually quite good haha.. and well too good for a camp I guess? haha I think we all grew fat la after the camp lol so anywyas, after breakfast it was the 2nd theme talk and after tat had grp discussion and before we knew it, it was games time ! haha.. the games were pretty much ordinary but we had a great time with all the adults n stuff haha.. In the end after all the games n the marks were tallied.. our team won 2nd ! and it was a TIE between the 1st and the 2nd! jus cos they won more "1st" in total.. oh well.. nvm ! haha..

Third day was well.. had LOTS of talks.. 2 theme talks, 1 workshop and 1 seminar hahaha.. crazy isn't it? haha but it was good ! hha I din fall asleep in any ! haha.. and then after everything.. we still had true love waits tok with uncle kc haha.. it was really good la.. tat night during the theme talk abt commitment.. I made a commitment to full-time minsitry in the future... wanted to really make sure it was God's call so the past nite was toking to uncle Kc abt ceratain things and well.. ya I'm pretty certain now God's calling me into full-time minsitry.

Last day was short ! haha.. woke up.. had worship where I recommited myself to sexual purity haha.. was quite a nice sight when the last song was played and all the youths came forward with their commitment slips signed and dropped it off in the basket :D after worship we had photos ! :D ahhaha then after tat we were off back to SIngapore ! oh man I make the camp sound so short haha.. so yup.. on the nite before we actually agreed on not slping.. but in the end only Mitchell and Ben Ang managed to stay up.. I went up to my room and the moment I did tat i fell asleep before I knew it on my bed haha.. at 5.30am haha.. and not to mention someone was smsing me tru out the nite haha.. it was intresting smsing someone at these weird hours of the nite haha.. but then again.. expensive !!! good thing I limited it lest I pay ALOT haha.. so the camp was fun ! slept on the way back and we ate ALOT of food ! I seriously think I put on weight LA hahaha.. and the eating doesn't stop ! when I got back to church some of us decided to go to Jacksons for dinner and we had a huge spread of food ! haha rojak.. stingray.. man..

2006-06-10T12:18:00.000+08:00

ok ok I hear u.. I'm updating hha.. jus tat I have been well.. busy? ya sorta.. n nothing much has really been happening.. been going out to study and stuff.. and I feel real studious.. I duno y.. but this is the first time in my whole life tat I'm studying in the June hols ! can u believe it? never ever studied so hard before.. and I never expected to hear my youth pastor asking me to relax n not study so hard hahaha... I still remember last year he was still asking me to concentrate on my studies and stuff lik tat.. oh well.. wat to do.. but it's like ever since I came to AC.. everday I dun study I feel like insecure la haha like as if I wld not be able to cover all my work.. partially it's cos I'm probably scaring myself cos I'm taking history and geog and like.. ya.. haha.. and maybe it's cos I actually like the subjects I'm studying now.. oh well..

Nothing much has been happening this week.. Monday n Tuesday went to school for lectures and then had some PW stuff.. Wed was jus studying at the National and Esplanade Library with one of my frens.. and guess wat? I met Fang Min there ! haha.. she was gonna buy books or something.. ya.. wasn't really productive though.. if I'm not wrong most of the time I spent jus walking frm place to place n eating lunch ahahha.. then Thursday was almost a whole day at home.. trying to study.. and at nite I had rehearsal ! both for the Father's day item and this Sunday's Youth Service.. yesterday.. oh man.. yesterday.. I went to the Esplanade Library in the morning to study with another of my frens.. and the scariest thing happened... I was there before the library open !! I mean.. ahh.. it's jus wrong LA! haha.. who actually waits for the library open!? sheesh.. so we were like the first customers at the cafe.. oh n guess wat? I was jus looking ard the cafe then I saw some pictures on the wall.. and Sonia's pictures were there!? was kinda shocked haha.. it was during some ACJC person's performance.. in March or something? ya.. oh and yesterday nite had BBQ at uncle Mak's place ! haha.. the youths were there n all.. n ahh.. the salmon was good !!! :D I think I"m gonna grow FAT la ! it's like I have not really been active this and it's like I'm eating out like every meal with all the unhealthy and oily food !!! I really gotta excerise soon man.. can someone remind me??

Today today.. well.. after my lunch gonna spend the rest of the afternoon with God.. pray, read the bible n all.. and also well.. seek Him.. especially for direction for the CF comm.. hmmm yup.. I still think tat we wld see revival during my yr in comm.. since God set it out in our hearts tat the focus in the yr ahead should be evangelism and discipleship.. oh well..

Church camp's coming up next week !! :D it'll be fun ! I think.. haha.. and not to mention Amos wld be there too ! have not seen him in a looong while haha.. gonna be loads of fun :D then again I'm not prepared for terms haha.. oh well.. should be ok la I guess.. but I'm still real worried for History !!!!! ROAR ! (:

BACK

2006-06-01T00:56:00.000+08:00

lalala.. I MISS my BLOG !!!! AHH I have not blogged in a ~~long~~ while.. well one reason was cos there was jus so many things coming up.. first I was brought back to God on the 14th of May after almost a month of living outside God's will then there was Passion AC... n after tat came the last assignment I had to do for the term.. GEOG! n it was 25 marks n this time I REALLY wanted to do well.. so I spent like lots of time jus trying to read up then write stuff down.. actually it was mainly jus to impress the teacher so u know.. better chance to get a H3 subject =P folling tat was the Baptist Youth training cum rally which was really really REALLY REALLY ! Good! n then after tat came CF camp ! which well... I kinda jus came back from! ahha.. ya !

Revival

This past month(from 14th May !) hasn't really been good.. was distracted away from God n stuff.. it was like.. I cld feel this sense of unease everytime I did my quiet time about my distraction and the worst part of it was that I kept asking God abt it.. and looking back.. I cld see that I wasn't really seeking after God's will.. in fact I just wanted MY will.. and wld not take NO for an answer.. this went on for almost a month.. but praise be to God he drew me back to Himself.. on that particular Sunday on the 14th of May.. uncle Kc was speking on holiness.. abt how to be set apart.. abt how everytime we say 'hallowed be Your name' to God.. we are also crying out to God, make us holy too ! so I went back.. laid on my bed.. then after tat decided to pick up and finish reading a book I had long stopped reading.. and as I was reading.. God used that book to speak to me about many many things.. convicted me of my sins and stuff.. and really.. I struggled with God.. but finally I jus gave in and said.. "ok God.. I trust You" and really after I confessed my sin n decided to "throw of everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles" I felt FREEDOM! and really I felt like this big burden was lifted off my shoulders and it was really something I cld not explain.. all I cld do was to praise God for searching for me.. kept tugging at my heart again n again.. never giving up on me so that I cld come back to Him.. O God.. praise You Lord.. praise YOU (:

Passion AC

This event really got me praying.. n I have never prayed so much before in my entire life haha.. it was an intresting time leading up to te preparations.. the event itself was great ! although I wasn not there for the worship part.. I went in jus before the songs ended and realy the moment u enter.. u cld feel this peace and calmness in tat place.. ya so stayed there till the thing ended n they asked for an alter call.. so a few of us went forward n started praying for some of them.. was an intresting experience..

Baptist Youth Conference

how nice it is when the Baptist churches over Singapore come together for a time of learning and worship! the speaker was Johnny De something.. haha can't remember but he's really n I mean REALLY cool haha.. he's like this super funny ~~balding old~~ man frm America! really really great ! he taught well too! abt youth ministries n stuff.. and tat really inspired me.. stuff like.. how every world wide revival was started off by youths.. and that the trend was that every 40-50 years.. a great revival wld sweep the world.. but the last one we have seen was in 1904.. cld this be the generation tat God wld use to bring revival? maybe tat person is you. He also mentioned abt hiow.. 88% of ppl recieve Christ before the hit 18 amd 97% before they hit 21.. tht means tat after 21 yrs of age.. the chances of someone accepting Christ drops to 3%!! go share the gospel.. and finally.. he told the story abt how this 2 ppl in an American school.. both brother n sister.. were faithfully praying frm monday to friday that God wld move in their school.. the first month came n no results... then 2nd and 3rd.. no one else joined them n nothing happened.. bu then on the 4th month, God moved n 500ppl came to Christ ! Praise the LORD ! after tat revival spreaded to the rest of the other schools in tat area.. continue to pray for revival !

CF Camp

CF camp was great ! in fact I jus got home frm it today ! n I missed a DGl meeting too.. oh well.. it was great..one thing I know God spoke to me abt was abt unity.. abt how not to focus on the small divisions but on Jesus Christ.. n in the same way.. hope tat we can do that with SAJC.. you know.. it's really been the desire of my heart to see SAJC and ACJC join hands together n have a combined evangelistic event.. Then shall there be no more divisions within our 2 schools.. I mean think abt it.. the 2 Christian JCs in Singapore hate each other.. wat kind of testimony is that ! ok so anywyas.. CF camp was fun ! was put in charge of the GREEN group which.. from last we caught up to being FIRST and won !! haha Praise God! the games we played at nite were the ones tat got us our points.. it was really retarded la haha..

After the camp the kinda announced the CF commitee roles but before tat.. we had a time of quiet time seeking God for a vision.. n we concluded(sorta) that it was 'Discipleship within, evangelism outwardly' (a compressed, one-liner version).. so yup.. and abt the posting.. I got.. President ! Praise God ! I'm actually quite surprised.. but hey.. praise God for it (: even though I feel so inadequate for the role.. I believe that since God placed me here.. He wld be with me n empower me to do what I am supposed to do.. so anywyas after tat we had this kinda cool session where the pastor anoited us with oil.. and follwing that the senior comm washed our feet ask an act of humility.. it was kinda an eye opener cos I never saw such things done before haha.. but then again.. I was still quite shocked that I got the role even though I sorta wanted it.. oh well.. God's will be done..

I'm so so so tired.. I wanna slp.. goot nite (:

drama

2006-05-14T16:00:00.000+08:00

This past week has been particularly hetic.. went as far as waking up at 5am in the morning to finish up work.. oh well.. I miss spending quality time with God.. :( oh well.. anyways Monday and Tuesday were the worst days of last week.. had like econs and geog test one after another on Monday and on Tuesday had Gp and I only started reading on Monday nite.. 45 pages haha... and I only managed to finish reading to page 25 but praise God tat He guided me tru the whole test.. I cld answer practically every question! thanks Dad (: anyways after tat the next test was on Thursday which was math.. but I din really study for it.. I think I'm probably gonna fail but not get 0 of course haah.. cld answer a few questions here and there.. hope it's actually correct haha..

then on Thursday I had some CF event which went pretty well! praise God for tat too ! and on Friday.. it was class party ! haha.. had fun in the pool and all.. we played like rugby or something.. really crazy with screaming and biting.. sheesh.. but it was fun.. oh and on Friday I spent like the whole afternoon just doing the History question.. man.. it took me like 4hrs to do.. frm 2-6 or something like tat.. really crazy.. I hope I did not write out of point though ahah.. otherwise I'll just go crazy wasting so much time on it.. but at least I'm more familiar with the Korean War now.. Next came Saturday morning where I had to go for PW in chool at 12pm.. was kinda late and well it was raining and so I jus walked tru the rain and all.. got to school.. finally did our GPP.. partially at least haha.. ya then after tat I left and gave Jon a call and he picked me up to his house ! haha.. he's now staying at Pine Grove.. really nice.. but be4 at we went for lunch.. really expensive.. and then wanted to go for ice cream but the tall closed down !! :( oh well... Spend some time at his house then we both went to church ! and guess wat?? on the ride there the bus inspector took my card away to 'update' and well.. I can only get it back in another 5 deys.. sigh.. so now I'm stuck using my aunt's ez link..

Spent a while in church and after tat went home and started doing my GP comprehension.. did for a while and it was alreadi 5 so i went to shower and all n met Ryna at PS to get some flowers for Rachel and Rubini(is tat how her name is spelt!? haha) since they were acting.. took a cab to NUS CC and we waited for Ryna's frens but on the way there met quite a few AC ppl haha.. maddness.. so got there and 3 or Ryna's frens came.. can't really remember their names though.. but ya ! they were nice ppl.. all frm PL though.. I feel like ever since I came to JC I've been knowing more n more PL ppl haha.. wat to do... so anyways the performances was great ! one was called The Spirits and the other one.. 4 Sisters or something lik tat haha.. n they all acted really well.. better than I expected i guess?? haha but some of them just looked weird with their hair up and with the make up ahhaha.. after the thing we lingered ard for a while then Rachel's dad gave me a lift back home..

Today was fine.. woke up a little later since there was no YF.. so went to breakfast with Javis, Jon, Zac n Fang at macs.. had a nice chat and was telling Javis all abt the first three months how it was the best time in my schooling life and stuff lik tat.. and how important school uniforms were too ! hahaha :P oh well.. I miss my days in SR!!!!! :(( oh well.. at least I'm still in contact with them.. wld never forget the times we had together.. so after breakfast.. went to church helped Eugene here and there.. well TRIED to help.. and ya.. din go to well ahha.. and be4 we knew it, it was time for youth service ! went down n it began with a time of worship and after tat uncle KC preached abt the importance of names or something lik tat.. abt how.. when we say "God, hallowed be Your name" we mean two things.. one is that we acknowledge that yes! God is Holy and set apart and secondly, we say, God, we wanna be holy too.. tats the part tat hit me today.. abt how when we praise God.. we ourselves r saying.. we wanna be like tat too.. we wanna be holy and set apart jus lik God is.. and one thing I'm gonna do abt it.. is to really have Him in the center of my life above all else.. noticed that this past week.. I've not really focused on God.. in fact.. I've drifted away.. cos of all the distractions and the business of my life.. both academically and socially.. O God.. I will do what You told me to do.. but Lord.. just be with me and bring me tru.. God I know that I am weak.. but Lord.. it is during these times tat Your power is made perfect.. Help me.. Sacntify me... make me who You want me to be.. I am Yours..

time for God

2006-05-07T21:09:00.000+08:00

was just about to go offline just now when suddenly one of my frens mentioned something.. was quite surprised by the person who said it haha.. unexpected.. but I guess it sorta reminded me tat studies and stuff must come after God.. and that if God does not want u to do something and u go disobey Him and do it, nothing good's gonna come out of it.. like if God asks u to stay for a sermon but you decide to go out for dinner with ur frens, you might not have a good time with your frens and end off worse then if u had not gone or if God asks u to go and do quiet time but you persist in finishing your homework.. you might have been really unproductive..
Honor God above all
"my mother always told me. when you devote time to God, in that time you could have spent studying or whatever, you could have been studying something that won't come out. yest by going to church spending time with God, when you settle down to study after, by his grace He could guide you to study the right thing" - Nicole

today

2006-05-06T17:50:00.000+08:00

Thursday was my interview for the CF comm.. it was intersting haha.. was kinda intimidated by the sheer number of ppl interviewing me haha.. like the whole current CF comm with the exception of 2 ppl was there and then there were the 2 teachers in charge and a pastor ! hahha.. but guess I wasn't really showing my fear as Michelle said I was like smiling all the way tru ahahha.. but I think it went pretty well.. went smoothly at least.. wonder wat post I wld get..watever it is, let God's will be done.. even though I dun get to become president of CF, I believe the best should be up there and not so much for myself...

Yesterday was Justin's birthday ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! (how many times have I said this!?)but yes ! it was kinda sad I cld not go celebrate it with him cos I was gonna go attend the SA band concert.. anyways the day was kinda long.. and I was in 2 different classes by Gloria Chan and both the classes were SCOLDED.. once during lecture for ppl sleeping n doing other work in class and the other during PW when someone brought some guy to class.. to add on.. I was feeling sick the whole day.. was catching a flu or something but praise be to God tat by the time I left school I was healed (: anyways, after school there was CF.. was planning to leave CF straight after worship and join Dennis, Jeremy, Jasmine n Rachel of dinner at 6 but God wanted me to stay a while more for the sermon.. so I kinda struggled a little but in the end I still stayed cos I remember tat I told God tat I wld not let anything get inbetween us.. and yay! I stayed haha.. Thank You Lord for giving me discipline (: stayed and Michelle brought me away to let me do some spiritual gift test which I had alreadi done before.. but did it again and the highest 3 were Evangelism, Teaching and Knowledge.. so yup.. haha after tat ard 6 I left and guess wat? Hilary was out there waiting for her dad and thus I got a free ride :D yay! ahha.. (looking back it's kinda great how God plans everything out for u) so I was able to reach potong pasir at almost 7 and had dinner with the rest.. Dennis, Jasmine and myself got roses for Mindy haha and well she seems really elated later on when we passed it to her.. anyways.. the SA band concert was really really good ! Can really see their patriotism ! haha.. we took a few crazy pictures here and there haha it was fun.. gonna put it up when I actually recieve it.. Rachel send the pics ! oh and while I was there.. I saw Mu Husan ! haha he was with his frens and I also saw quite a few AC ppl! like Mel, Nablila and Theresa.. all the band ppl ahah..

"Not to us, O LORD, not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness" - Psalms 115:1

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross" - Philippians 2:5-8

oh well.. I have rehearsals today for tmr.. gonna play for worship tmr.. and guess wat?? We're gonna play ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!

sick

2006-04-08T22:08:00.000+08:00

Everyone in class is getting sick ! like on Friday everone around me with the exception of a few others were sick..oh well.. I'll be praying for u all.. anyways.. I'm leading adult worship tmr ! and well I really have not prepared anything to say.. buit somehow.. God is giving me peace.. especially after I prayed to HIm asking Him to speak through me tmr.. so well.. if I can prepare.. I'll prepare if not I'll jus go up and well I have faith tat God wld put His words in my mouth..

Life concert on Thursday was great! although Mitchell said it wasn't really good..haha but ya.. it went well.. went there with Rachel, Mindy and a few of her frens.. good thing Mindy's frens were like infront of the queue so I din have to queue HAHA.. anyways.. the thign started off with dances and after tat the worship band came and did quite a number of songs.. I felt tat it was really Delirious? ahha.. the guys voice sounds like him too.. lol then there were testimonies and then this pastor came up and preached abt heaven haha.. it was really intresting the way he described heaven haha.. disco party.. bouncer.. oh man.. hahaha anywyas.. it ended great with ppl coming to Christ and many rededicating their lives back to God.. Praise God (:

Decided to join Christian Fellowship Commitee on Friday instead of Student Council. God was leading me there.. cos I know tat the one reason why I was in ACJC was to have a joint event with SAJC.. so yes.. I think joining CF comm wld help me achieve it better..so yup.. not to mention.. Friday's CF was GREAT! haha... had a great time of worship and there was this time of ministry.. Really could see revival.. and I believe that in the week to come.. many wld come to Christ.. P.D.A. it first starts with us Christians.. Personal revival.. then comes Divine appointment where God wld lead us to ppl.. and then.. Active obedience where we step out in faith and obedience to God's call and do His will.. then tats when we see ppl coming back to Christ.

Did my SHAPE inventory today.. and well it was much more accurate than the one last time and also it helped me to focus on where God is leading me... Which from wat uncle KC said, was pastoral ministry (yay!) ahha.. so yup.. but one thing I have got to work on is the aspect of behavior.. like I have alot of head knowledge but not applying it to life.. Gotta start living my life for Christ as Lord of my life and not conform to the ways of this world..

This coming week is Religious Emphasis Week.. pray tat God wld move among the peoples and that we would see revival..

blogging

2006-04-04T18:00:00.000+08:00

lalala.. I feel so tired.. Have not had much slp recent;y.. especially with all the JC work load and all.. haha.. oh well.. today was quite ok.. I think like ppl in my class are getting sick and the weather seems oh so gloomy.. not to mention u throw in MOE at the background and all the construction work going on at Buona Vista.. not a very nice sight.. anyways.. I have got like a busy week ahead.. tmr I've got bible study and after tat I have rehearsals at 8pm for adult worship.. then on Thursday, it's the SA Live concert haha.. oh man I wonder how I'm gonna get my work donw.. like this gp essay I'm suppose to write.. and the worst thing is tat I wasn't even taught how to.. it's like Ac assumes tat first 3 months u actually learnt something ahha.. oh well.. at least today was not so bad.. had like a total of 200 mins of break ut then again.. it's a real waste of time hahah..

I'm still trying to decide if I should join Student Council or join Christian Fellowship commitee.. how do u all think? but I'll probably end up joining CF comm cos I think God's leading me there.. all I know is tat I was put in Ac so tat I can have a combine event with SA.. so I guess CF is more apporiate.. oh well.. a few more days left to choose.. pls pray for me ok? ahha.. anyways! the new United CD is out! haha.. it's really good.. hmm and this time I better keep track of it.. wonder who still has my other cds...

oh man I feel inspired to post cos of all the tags of the nice little tagboard ahahha.. anyways.. I realised I have not posted abt the youth retreat! ahha..

Youth Retreat 2006

the youth retreat was great.. the activities on the first day started off after a nice duck rice lunch.. but u know.. this youth retreat felt different from the rest.. it actually felt like an orientation la! haah.. firstly all the cheering which I never tot we wld do ahha.. and 2ndly.. all the disgusting games!! I mean.. eating the watermelon with our barehands... the captains ~~ball~~ fruit with a papaya/starfruti/orange.. but hey.. it was fun.. especially the capture the flag part though haha.. 2nd day had this mad treasure hunt thingy and we were awarded the most crazy grp cos we went ard looking for resuorces for like this game where we were suppose to make a long line of stuff going up steps ahha.. ok nvm I dun really know how to explain ahha..

the theme talks were really good too.. on Matthew 5:1-16.. abt the beatitudes and being a salt and light.. really love it haha.. I felt tat God really moved in the retreat.. can see tat God spoke to ppl.. lives were touched.. and once agan.. I praise God for that.. really hope and pray that there wld be revival in my youth fellowship and that we wld go and boldly proclaim God's word to the nations keeping our bound with each other in love..

anyways enough abt the youth retreat.. now abt ACJC haha.. well.. things are getting better.. getting to know alot more ppl.. especailly got to know my classmates better today... well... half of them at least.. it's like my class is split into two camps.. the not so loud ppl and the toruble making loud ppl.. haha.. but I'm not here to judge them.. in fact.. God asked me to show them love haha which I will try to do with God's help lol.. so anyways.. ya got to know the quieter half of my class today haha.. they're nice ppl.. but the thing is tat most of the time we are not with our class cos like some of us take different combis..

as for work.. I actually have omework now! ahha.. tats not too good.. got to do essays.. and lots of reaing... in fact.. it's like getting late and I think I shall go do it now.. haha.. so yup.. oh and pls pray for me.. tat I wld be able to perserve tru all the work and also tat I wld not conform to the ways of this world but in fact be an influencer of those ard me.

ACJC

2006-03-11T22:59:00.000+08:00

ah.. it's the weekend again. and ya I finally have time to blog (yay...) This week I began my first week at ACJC.. it was pretty ok.. but I must say.. it was a busy week.. all the going out and stuff.. on Monday and Tuesday it was orientation.. so I ended late.. It was quite fun though.. met lots of new ppl.. but well to tell the truth.. it's pretty cold in ACJC compare to SRJC.. but I guess I saw this coming.. but u can really feel the difference especially when I went back to SRJC on Wednsday.. can really feel a total change in the atmosphere.. SRJC feels like really homely where u can go all crazy and all.. then theres ACJC... where u feel like the whole world's watching u and if u do something wrong.. there goes ur social life in ACJC.. haha.. but I gues tats ACJC.. was prepared for something like that alreadi..

On my spiritual side.. well.. din really have a good quiet time this week.. it was consistnt but like I kept falling asleep during my qt cos I was tired and for quite a numbe of days.. started late.. so ya.. but at least today I manage to have a pretty good qt after my rehearsal.. I came home.. took a nice 3hr+ nap and then went on to do a short quiet time and then rushed to chruch for dinner haha.. after dinner had masterlife.. it was quite a relaxing one cos lke they had the disciples inventory.. anywyas.. I guess I shall go do my quiet time and go prepare wat I need to say for tmr... cya..

lalala It's that time of the week again.. SUNDAY! hahha

Today was great! well.. yes! haha.. today morning went to church and all.. had worship and stuff.. good as usuall.. and we sang Running After You! new song.. so yup.. after the worship uncle Kc gave a great and I mean GREAT talk abt the Da Vinci Code to get us youths prepared.. and I think it's really a great timing as tmr I wld be in ACJC.. new place and all.. and meetin new ppl.. so if they ask anything abt it I can answer :D

after tat had service and after service had WORSHP ACADEMY! u know.. it seriously helps alot! I mean especially on the worship aspect.. auntie CONNIE (not Cornie) is really good like in helping us to worship and to lead others in worship too.. ya.. praise God for her.. anyways.. after worship acad.. guess wat? we all went crazy again n jumped ard and ya.. went mad! ahhaa..

OK ANYWYAS.. something really amazing happened today.. and it really reminded be of how close GOD is to us.. and how powerful prayer is today.. my friend.. Rachel Lim.. was born half deaf on her left ear.. and today.. when a pastor prayed for her.. she was HEALED! I mean it's seriously amazing.. deaf from birth but now she can hear! She was saying how for the first time she heard tru tat ear.. it's really amazing how God works.. and all I can say is... God You are a great GOD! Halleujah...

The timing for the healing is really great too as now.. for those in JC1 this year.. we're like all scattered all over Singapore in out various JC and now we have this wonderous testimony to go and tell the world abt it.. just one day before our school starts..

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts. Psalms 105:1-2

I have like F9 for math for prelims then I was moderated to D7.. but for O lvls I got like.. A2!! haha AND.. I was really surprised tat I got A1 for English! I usually get lik B3.. but the thing was tat I wrote an expository essay for the first time for an exam! haha.. Thanks God! oh and another thing is Geog!! Dunno how I cld get like A2.. cos I did the Rivers question and I know I probably did VERY badly for it cos I dinwrite tat waterfalls anf rapids form at the upper course.. I din even know for crying out loud HAHA.. but anyhows.. Praise God.. really.. All Glory to You and You alone God!

Another thing for thanks giving is tat... Jeremy and Jasmine's sister, Valerie accepted Christ today!!! Thank You Lord.. Thank You for hearing the prayers of Your saints.. that You came and convicted them of their need for You and their sin.. Thank You for opening up their hearts and mind.. I pray Lord that they may continue to grow in You everyday of their lives and learn what it means to be Your disciple.

This was really encouraging for me.. cos like during some class thing.. Jeremy ranked some Spiritual thing as nubmer er.. 13? which like was the lowest on his list.. but hey! when ppl pray.. GOD WORKS!!! AMEN!??? hahha.. Praise You Lord.. You are really a faithful God.. words cannot express my praise.. You truly are a great God... Halleujah..

Now is the time for us to SHINE! Shine with the face of Christ Divine! You know looking back.. I dun think i really have done my part in advancing the gospel.. but was wanna make a commitment to God infront of all those reading this that I wld be FAT.. Faithful to God.. Available when He calls and also to have a Teachable heart and spirit.. Lord.. Here I am send me!!! I wanna go wherever You want me to go..but this is wat I ask.. that You wld be with me through it.. that You wld go through life with me.. sorry for the times I've shyed away from sharing the gospel.. for the times my pride or my own selfish desires took over Your place a Lord of my life.. sorry Lord... But Lord.. thank You for Your forgivness.. cos in Your word it says tat as long as I come and confess my sins before You, You are faithful and jus and wld forgive my sins.. Thank You Lord... Thank You tat jus like that.. I can be forgiven.. that sin no longer has it hold on me.. Thank You Lord.. for Your death on the cross.. You really are a loving God.. I praise You God.. Renew me a fresh.. fill me with Your Holy Spirit and lead me the way everlasting.. Here I am send me..

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

2006-01-29T13:33:00.000+08:00

hmm gonna post again even though I jus did like er.. 15mins ago? haha.. well anyways was jus blog surfing when I read Mindy's blog.. and read "suddenly, i see God's purpose for putting me in SRJC so clearly, and the other christians too. That we will reach out to many pre-believers before we leave SR. this is so exciting!"

ya.. how true it is.. even though I've shared abt this during devotions I dun think I've really practiced this.. I've been too distracted doing other things.. All those reading.. please hold me accountable that I may really be a light to all those around me.. to all the pre-belivers in SRJC..
Oh God.. help me Lord.. help me to stay focused.. to step out of my comfort zone.. I don't wanna just stay comfortable where I am.. I wanna shine for You, God! help me Father! Let me GO.. let me really be able to say "here I am, send me!" burden me for the lost and grant me great boldness Lord to share.. may Your word burn in my bones till I share Your word...

Our God Reigns

40 million babies lost to Gods great orphanage,
It’s a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace
If this is a human right then why aren’t we free?
The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree.

100 million faces, staring at the sky,
Wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by.
The devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug,
But still my Chinese take away could pay for someone’s drugs.

Our God reigns, Our God reigns,
Forever your kingdom reigns.

The west has found a gun and it's loaded with 'unsure'
Nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure.
Psalm one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime,
God didn’t screw up when he made you,
He’s a father who loves to parade you.

Yes he reigns, yes you reign, yes you reign,
For there is only one true God,
But we've lost the reins on this world,
Forgive us all, forgive us please,
As we fight for this broken world on our knees.

Lord.. help me to step out of my comfort zone.. so that I may go and share the gospel.. help me not to get too comfortable with my fellow brothers and sisters but to GO.. GO and bring the gospel to the lost.. for You said how You have come no to call the righteous but sinners.. Help me be like You.amen.

2005-12-29T23:26:00.000+08:00

ok I have time now ! hahaha

well.. looking back over this past week and the last.. I can really say that I can see God working in me and that really He is jus SO REAL hahha..

You know.. just last Wed, one nite had a tok with someone.lets call her.. X hahaha well anyways she was telling me how I should let go of my feelings for the person I like.. lets call the person I like.. Y hahaha so ya so I was like kinda struggling with it.. so anyways.. I went to pray abt it and was like... ya.. ok God.. I know u were speaking thru X and I shan't decieve myself. Help me to let go. THEN ! RIGHT after tat when I said amen.. suddenly I recieved an sms frm Y saying.. "I think the secert to letting go is contentment" and I was like.. WOW.. It was really a direct answer to my prayer !

Alrite.. now thats not all ! Jus 2 nights ago... on Tuesday, I had a tok with Y and well to tell u the truth was feeling kinda jealous n unhappy abt wat she was telling me abt someone HAHAHA the poem and all BUT ANYWAYS! after tat I did my quiet time.. then this line came into my head.. "My grace is sufficient for you" and I was like hmm ok.. then I went to pray and all.. and this time I was praying that God wld take awaymy feelings for Y.. so well.. was praying and suddenly I was reminded abt Paul's struggle abt his 'thorn' and felt led to turn there. So I flipped there and saw "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
It really hit me there ! it was like God spoke straight to me saying.. no I wld not take away your feeling for Y but my grace would be sufficient for you cos thru your weakness, I would recieve glory and you wld grow.

All praise and glory to God.. You have done so much for me.. and really.. wow.. You work in awesome ways..

God

2005-12-28T00:36:00.000+08:00

I would blog abt it more tmr.. but.. looking back.. I think liking her and her saying no is probably the best thing that has happened to me that brought me oh so much closer to God. It's like recently God has been working mightly in me and that God has recently been leading me in a clear way..

oh God I praise You (: You are a great God

Anyways, you know, even through all the gift giving, I hope all of you out there would remember the true meaning of Christmas.. Not about Santa.. Not even about us giving gifts.. but that on this day, about 2000 yrs ago, God became man.. God chose to give up His deity So that YOU could be saved.. He came to earth for YOU even though YOU did not know Him and today God stands at the door of YOUR heart and says, would YOU let me in?
When you hear the voice of the Lord, do not harden your hearts.

My prayer and wish for you is that you would discover this gift.. Not by man but by God.. that God gave of Himself that you may now have fellowship with Him.

shopping

2005-12-22T22:41:00.000+08:00

Today I did Christmas shopping with Eugene and Joshua ! before that I had to take my very quick but expensive jab at the missions clinic! haha ok I'm pretty much over my dislike for injections haha.. all I have to say is tat thinkning abt it is worst than actually taking it so yes ! hahaha (:

ok anyways.. I met Eugene at Heartland mall and off we went to Orchard.. I was lik planning to go frm PS to maybe Orchard mrt.. walk down Orchard but guess what!? we ended spending like 3 hrs at PS ALONE.. Eugene was lik looking for his gift and I was lik advising and Joshua also got someting too.. haaha.. shopping today felt weird though.. oh well.. LET GO

Myanmar

2005-12-21T23:31:00.000+08:00

shalala I finally find the time to blog the past few days have been busy.. going out tat is hahaa OH WELL..

MISSION TRIP!

It was great ! was quite surprised by certain things too.. Like for example.. when I think of a missions trip to Myanmar I think of me living in a hut or maybe at best in a hostel.. eating the local food with not much meat.. BUT HEY! guess what? we stayed in a 3star hotel, Central Hotel Yangon and the dinners were great ! the first dinner we ate was Pizza ! hahaa and there was SO much haha.. then there was Chinese food at a 5star totel restaurant then Thai food ! ahhaha.. sounds good eh? (go sign up for the next missions trip) then we also had DONUTS!!! haha it was GREAT haha especially the chocolate filled ones.. ah... that was nice (:

OK ENOUGH ABOUT FOOD ! mmm so anyways, God really taught me many things through the trip. One thing I knew I learnt was through the little orphans.. it's really encouraging to know that they look into the heart and not the activities we do.. it's like even though some things dun go well they dun mind cos they know we put in the effort and tats jus makes them happy...

Had a great time ministering with them too.. It was really nice to see all their little faces smiling back at u and all.. and also had a great time getting to know some of the older ppl there n like we met this Jap who went to Myanmar to study who cld speak like 4 languages! Mandarin, English, Burmese and Japanese! amazing isn't it? hahaha.. ok anyways, seeing the ppl worshipping God together in one voice and so passionately really shows how God is working in Myanmar.. I can jus imagine in about 10 yrs when they grow up tat they wld go out throughout Myanmar and share the word of God to all.. I can just imagine the day where Myanmar wld become a Christian nation (:

Another aspect which I learnt was abt my personal like n stuff.. this was learnt through well.. many circumstances.. and also of course my nice little meaningful toks with uncle Kc... was abt relationship n all.. and I've said it once and I'll say it again.. now I know how Eugene Har feels when he struggles to let go of someone.. ya.. in the same way.. I really struggled through the trip and it took me like 3 nights before I was finally willing to let her go... was really painful.. especially when God used someone to help me let go.. but by the last night.. I was willing to let go and ya hahaha.. it was really intresting how God used someone in the trip to help me let go of her and all ahha.. ya.. so for now.. gonna fix my eyes on Jesus ! ya... masterlife was really helpful too... the ACTION part..

Acknowledge the emotion.. ok tat was easy
Consider why you have it.. was ok too
Thank God He wld help u overome it.. till this partit was ok
Identify the blibical response.. well.. God clearly told me Hebrews 12:1-2 and Hebrews 11:6 how I should not stay fixated on her but on HIM and how I should seek HIM
Obey the Spirit's leading.. this was one of the harder part... God told me that I should not tok to her unless I have to.. and it was realy hard for me and I struggled alot but in the end.. ya like I said earlier.. I was willing to let go in the end
Nuture the correct fruit of the Spirit.. whoch is joy and self-control

well.. it really helped.. and I must say.. once u decide to let go.. you wld really feel FREE! haha YES ! I like learn more in this area than any other area haha probably cos I was going through it like everyday.. oh well.. Thanks God for ths experience! really, I've come out a stronger person like wat uncle Kc said haha.. You are an awesome God. I praise You.

back!

pope?

2005-12-08T20:49:00.000+08:00

quote but not in full from http://in-him.blogspot.com
It's kinda long.. actually very long.. but if you do have the time, do read it, especially Christians !

Death of a Pope
Dave Hunt

John Paul II outdid most politicians in playing all sides. During his 1987 visit to Los Angeles, he told Rabbi Emeritus Harvey Fields of Wilshire Boulevard Temple and the late Rabbi Alfred Wolf that everyone serves the "same God . . . no matter what their religion." Yet in Latin America in February 1996, he warned Catholics against Protestants and urged those who had left the Church to come back. In the name of "ecumenism," he declared that full unity could not be realized until all religions were subject to Rome!

In 2000 the Pope met with the President of Israel, visited the Wailing Wall, where he inserted a prayer, and assured Israelis that "the Catholic Church . . . is deeply saddened by the hatred, acts of persecution and displays of anti-Semitism . . . by Christians . . . ." Yet he only apologized for what "Christians" have done, and never admitted the truth: that it was the Church itself and its popes that had compelled Catholics to persecute Jews.

Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel told CNN that John Paul II "will have a very important place in Jewish history . . . ." Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (and Jewish leaders worldwide) called the Pope "a man of peace and friend of Israel . . . ." Even U.S. News & World Report's Editor-in-Chief, Mortimer B. Zuckerman, usually so perceptive, praised the Pope for having "recognized the State of Israel," overlooking the fact that he had been pope for 16 years before he did so in 1994, 46 years after Israel's rebirth as a nation -- and just after giving the PLO a permanent office at the Vatican.

Muslim leaders also lauded the Pope. Imam Yahya Hendi, Muslim Chaplain at Georgetown University, said that Islam (which calls for Israel's annihilation) had lost a great friend. Consistently (as in his papal bull on the Year 2000 Jubilee, etc.), John Paul II rejected Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem. More than ten times (at the Vatican and papal palace in Castel Gandolfo) he warmly received Arafat, Israel's most vicious enemy, visited him at his palace in Ramallah, and sided with Arafat and the PLO against Israel.

Of course, praising the deceased and overlooking blemishes is usual at funerals -- but even evangelical leaders joined the "all praise to the Pope" chorus. The few who told the truth were condemned by the rest. For responding to a listener's question as to whether the Pope was in heaven, Christian talk show host Marty Minto was fired by Pittsburgh's WORD radio station, an affiliate of Salem Broadcasting (see News Alert). Yet the truth is that the Pope himself did not know whether he would go to heaven, and could give no assurance to others -- a rather shocking fact about the head of the world's largest church who claimed to be Christ's vicar on earth!

John Cardinal O'Connor declared: "Church teaching is that I don't know...what my eternal future will be. I can hope, pray, do my very best -- but I still don't know. Pope John Paul II doesn't know absolutely that he will go to heaven, nor does Mother Teresa of Calcutta . . . ." Cardinal John Krol, as spiritual leader of Philadelphia's more than one million Catholics, admitted that his personal major worry was about "getting to heaven." Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI), who headed the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, watchdog of Catholic orthodoxy (Holy Office of the Inquisition), and successor to John Paul II, expresses the same uncertainty
of salvation -- as he must.

Like the Pope, the Church that he led firmly rejects Christ's promise of "eternal life" (Jn 3:16) to all who believe on Him, that they have "passed from death unto life" (Jn 5:24) and "shall never perish" (Jn 10:28). Its priesthood offers endless Masses and prayers to Mary and favorite saints (thousands will be said for the dead pope), encourages pilgrimages to various shrines, and extends other means of gaining the same indulgences to shorten suffering in purgatory, a fact that upset Martin Luther and sparked the Reformation.

In a book highly rated by 250 evangelical leaders, the Pope wrote, "Baptism and the Eucharist . . . create in man the seed of eternal life." Rejecting the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice and His triumphant cry, "It is finished!" (Jn 19:30), the documents of Vatican II begin thus: "It is the liturgy through which, especially in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, 'the work of our redemption is [still being] accomplished.'" Rome anathematizes anyone who dares to confess the very assurance of a finished salvation that the Bible repeatedly promises (1 Jn 5:13).

Catholicism's premier "televangelist" before his death, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (whom John Paul II called "a loyal son of the Church" and whom Billy Graham praised as "the greatest communicator" of the last century), hoped that "the Virgin" would welcome him to heaven because of his more than 40 pilgrimages to her shrines at Lourdes and Fatima. Pope John Paul II was likewise totally devoted to Mary, especially to "our lady of Fatima," whose apparition declared that "All religions are the same . . . many souls perish because they have no one to make sacrifice for them," a clear denial of the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice for our sins. His Apostolic Letter of Oct. 16, 2002, ends with these words:

I entrust this Apostolic Letter to the loving hands of the Virgin Mary, prostrating myself in spirit before her image in the splendid Shrine built for her by Blessed Bartolo Longo, the apostle of the Rosary. I willingly make my own the touching words with which he concluded his well-known Supplication to the Queen of the Holy Rosary: "O Blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God... tower of salvation against the assaults of Hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of death: yours our final kiss as life ebbs away. And the last word from our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary of Pompei, O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign Consoler of the Afflicted . . . .

Rushed to the hospital, having taken two bullets during an assassination attempt on May 13, 1981, the Pope groaned in Polish, "Madonna, Madonna . . . !" He often repeated the words, "Victory . . . will be . . . through Maria." He credited "Our Lady of Fatima" with saving his life on that occasion in Rome and from a bayonet-wielding Spanish priest in 1982, while visiting Fatima, Portugal, to thank her for rescuing him from death. But his favorite "Maria" was the "Black Virgin" of Jasna Gora in Poland -- where Billy Graham himself welcomed pilgrims after preaching in Wojtyla's cathedral while Wojtyla was made Pope in Rome. In a February 1980 addendum to his Last Will and Testimony of March 6, 1979, John Paul II entrusted "that decisive moment [of death] to the Mother of Christ and of the Church [and] of my hope . . . .In life and in death, Totus Tuus through the Immaculate." Embroidered
inside all of his robes was the phrase, Totus tuus sum Maria, "Mary, I am all yours."

The Rosary, which he urged Catholics to pray continually as the means to world peace, offers a false gospel of salvation through Mary. An "apparition" at Fatima claiming to be "Our Lady of the Rosary" declared, "Say the Rosary every day...pray a lot and offer sacrifices for sinners [Christ's sacrifice was not enough]....Only I will be able to help you....In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph." The Rosary concludes:

HAIL, HOLY QUEEN, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!

It is clear, however, that Mary did not remain a virgin after the birth of Jesus, "her firstborn Son" (Mt 1:25), but had sons and daughters through her husband, Joseph (Mt 12:46,47; 13:55,56; Mk 3:31; Lk 8:19,20; Jn 2:12; Acts 1:14) -- and that she was not a special conduit of blessing from Him to others (Mt 12:40-50; Mk 3:33-35; Lk 8:19-21; 11:27,28).

There is no biblical record of anyone ever praying to Mary or of her interceding with Christ for anyone's salvation.

Among Roman Catholicism's popular "15 Promises of Mary," are the following: "The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish . . . .I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall . . . at the moment of death . . . participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise." Tragically, hundreds of millions of Roman Catholics have been turned from faith in Christ alone for salvation to trusting Mary and the Rosary, as did Pope John Paul II! They will not receive salvation from Christ so long as they trust Mary or any other "saint" for it.

In "The Holy Father's Prayer for the Marian Year," John Paul II asked Mary to do what only God can do: to comfort, guide, strengthen and protect "the whole of humanity . . . ." His prayer ended, "Sustain us, O Virgin Mary, on our journey of faith and obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation." Faith in the only Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, is both conspicuously missing and denied by such a prayer!

John Paul II often referred to "the salvation of souls through Mary Immaculate." Urging all Christians to accept Mary as their mother, the Pope declared that Christ's words to John from the Cross, "Behold thy mother!" (Jn 19:27), revealed the "authentic meaning of Marian worship . . . ." Claiming that "Mary is the path that leads to Christ," the Pope urged all Christians "to make room [for Mary] in their daily lives, acknowledging her providential role in the path of salvation." He always wore the scapular (a practice that originated from an apparition of "Our Lady of Mt. Carmel" to St. Simon Stock in A.D. 1251, and was confirmed by subsequent popes such as Pope John XXII in 1322), trusting in the promise written upon it that "whosoever dies wearing this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." It is irrefutable logic that anyone, who in simple faith has trusted Christ for the salvation He provides, would consider it not only unnecessary but an abomination to wear such a piece of cloth!

In view of these well-known facts, the praise heaped on the Pope upon his death by evangelical leaders is incomprehensible! Incredibly, Billy Graham praised John Paul II for "his strong Catholic faith." Increasing numbers of evangelicals are joining Colson, Packer, Billy Graham and others in accepting as fellow Christians Roman Catholics who embrace this false gospel. Mark Oestreicher, president of Youth Specialties, called the Pope's death "a key point in history where we have the opportunity to embrace [Catholics as] fellow children of God." That is like failing to set up flares and warning signs for motorists traveling along a highway where a bridge is out and waving them on to their death instead!

Richard N. Ostling, long-time Senior Religious Correspondent for Time, called John Paul II "probably the most popular pope ever among America's evangelical Protestants . . . ." Dan Betzer, pastor of Fort Meyers' First Assembly of God, enthused: "I have long been an admirer of the Pope. His prayer life is an example to us all. He has lived a godly life . . . .His death will leave a great void in the kingdom of God." Pat Robertson said that "the most beloved religious leader of our age [has passed] from this world to his much deserved eternal reward."

Like Billy Graham, Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptists' Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, emphasized that any disagreements Protestants may have had "with John Paul II are [irrelevant] to the foundations of the faith." Land praised the Pope's "staunch defense of traditional Christian faith . . . ." Yet John Paul II on more than one occasion gathered together for prayer witch doctors, spiritists, animists, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and other leaders of world religions, declared that they were all "praying to the same God," and credited their prayers with generating "profound spiritual energies" that would create a "new
climate for peace."

We dare not trifle with the eternal destiny of souls. Peter, whom Rome falsely claims was the first pope, declared that "there is none other name [than Jesus Christ]...whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Not Mary, not Buddha, not anyone but Christ! But John Paul II relied upon Mary for salvation and protection and taught his flock to do the same. We pity him and them for this error.

It is too late to pray for the dead pope's soul -- but we owe it to our Lord and all mankind still living to give them the good news: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (Jn 3:16,17). TBC

let go

2005-12-07T00:18:00.000+08:00

Today I had a great quiet time! I felt so FREE after that hahha.. Thank You God.. and I shall write here wad I wrote in my nice little blue book of course with the name taken out HAHAHA

let go

Today, God told me while I was praying for guidance about _______ to, instead of staying so fixated on her, to rather fix my eyes on Jesus. A change in focus. In the same way God led Abram out of Ur into the promise land without telling him where his destination was, I belive that is how God wld lead me in this aspect.. Countless times I've asked God abt her yet He did not reply.. but I have the assurance that He wld be there to guide me about my relationships although I do not know if she is the one.. God I trust You wld lead me this way.. although I do not know who You wld lead me to, I would follow You. lead me Father. Gonna turn my eyes on Jesus, fixing it on HIM. Hebrews 12:1-2 says, Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Have faith, God would guide me. Hebrews 11:6 says, and without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. It's not about myself.. but all about God.. SEEK HIM!

O Father, God in control of all, creator of all, thank You for that humbling lesson. Lord, grant me Your grace and strength that I may be able to apply what I leant in humnle obedience. Lord, keep my heart upon Your alter, keep my feet don't let me falter. Rain down Your Spirit on me. I give You my all. Work in me.lead me the way everlasting. Amen!

I dun really like pirated things anymore haha.. OK frm now on, I NEVER WANT TO BUT PIRATED STUFF ANYMORE! tats tat! (I hope I can do it though. God pls help me.)

There is something I also realise though, when I was on holiday.. is tat the moment u think u can stand up to temptation.. you fall.. for me it was one the2nd last day. on the 2nd last day we went to Shang Yang Chang.. dunno if the spelling is correct BUT anyhows.. it was like a place dedicated to selling fake goods.. like 800+ shops.. wow? haha.. so anywas.. we were left there for like 2 1/2 hours..(it was a tour) so I jus walked ard and my was like DAVID WHY NEVER BUY ANYTHING and blah blah.. so I jus went.. er no no need blah blah.. so ok the day ended with me buying nothng! at most a lighter if I wld count it.. ok so i was pretty happy with myself.. YAY I din buy pirated stuff.. or so I THOUGHT... then at nite.. at the point where I tot I cld stand up to temptation I fell n bought loads of pirated dvds... oh man.. sigh.. oh well.. it's over. DONE.

Jus walking down Orchad the other day and oh man... you see the streets filled with wat Jon wld call INMODEST ppl.. Now I know wat he means by that hahaha.. oh well.. can't do anything.. I jus look AWAY! haha.. oh well.. one thing I know, it's tat when you found love and realise how God hates sin, somehow no matter how much you used to like to see others in eh.. 'inmodest' clothing, you wld realise how distastful it is and how easily u can be tempted.. tsk tsk.. now I know how J0n feels.hahahaha.
