Reflections

It has been a blessed day today. An opportunity to understand the word "divine appointment". Thank GOD.

Prayer walk today was just Joanna and I as i couldnt make it in the morning. Although we were just down to two person as compared to others who had their groups, i was thankful that before we started our prayer walk, we prayed for open doors and divine appointments. The first few households we knocked, i hesistated asking the question "Can we pray for you?" because the lack of courage in the face of other religions. After a few houses we finally got the hang of it and pluck up the courage to do so. It was a divine appointment to choose to do level 2 (just when we realised the blk we did was already covered and we planned to leave). After doing the introductions and giving out the magnets and asking about prayer requests... she shared a little about how she was being bothered by black magic. We prayed for her and carried on. Although after we finally ended our prayer walk and sat below the block, both of us just felt this burden to go back to that household. Somehow we both felt that we could had done something more. It was the same feeling and thus both of us returned to the household.

I thank God that we made that decision as she cried sharing with us furthur about her current situation. It was someone i recognise who was desperate and crying out for Him. She backslid or probably was never strong in her faith but i'm glad she said she recognise the need to fall back and lean upon Christ. *praise GOD* Angels rejoice as she reconcillate with GOD.

This was definitely the highlight of my prayer walk but several other reflections made me realised what a hard ground woodlands was. It was a town made up of mostly non-christians. While doing my prayer walk, i had a picture of how GOD's revival would be like in this town. As i look at our soon-to-be completed church building, i just thought... how we were really bring GOD to the residents in Woodlands. Revival would be seen in that town. Praise GOD.

On the other hand, Anna reminded me something while we were in school. She was sharing about how children and their childlike faith accept things easily. She was telling me about how she was sharing with these kids. That although now they may not fully understand what it is to accept Christ, but these kids would not reject Christ as much when they are in their teens because somewhere deep inside they have heard the gospel. \She reminded me that she was sowing this seed in the hearts of those children. Ryan mentioned during prayer walk that he reached out mostly to children as he managed to talk to quite a few. I was reminded to carry on sowing seeds in them.

Its been a blessed Saturday of reflecting.

Thank God for allowing me to grow in Him.

Blessing to worship

Its a blessing to be able to worship. To lift your voice and praise God... To hear the people of GOD lifting their voices together to praise Him. I'm saying this in thanksgiving of such small things that we may never notice when we're well. I realised not being able to sing or hear properly over the past week because of my flu was quite a torture. Music seems to be something that *ticks* my emotions. Being only able to hear and not sing over the past week allowed me to appreciate worship in a different way... to slow down and hear praises lifted up to Him. Just imagine how beautiful heaven would be like with people of God worshiping Him with our voices.

God, its a blessing to be able to worship you. God, its a blessing to be able to sing..

Thank God for this blessing.

Thank GOD for His healing...

trust

Randomly trying to explore the word "trust"

1. Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.

2. Custody; care

3. Something committed into the care of another; charge.

4. One in which confidence is placed.
5. Reliance on something in the future; hope.
*was bout to tag longer.. but the internet is being really slow on me now*
heh.. contemplate the meaning of placing your trust on Him as compared to things that are uncertain.
Hmm.. yup. wait till i've the time to elaborate =)

Psalm 71:1, 5-6

In you, O Lord, I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust O Lord, from my youth
.
Upon you I have leaned from my birth;
it was you who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continualty of you.

*Praying that i will get well soon...*

Term 2 Week 5

Only God sustain. The week before was just tiring because of me being sick. Being sick isnt fun and hinders concentration but God showed me only He can sustain me. Shall carry on praying for healing. To several others who are also sick too, press on in Him. Lean upon GOD and let Him heal.

"And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

"But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.”

Both talks about having faith to believe...

Have faith that GOD in His own time and own way would heal. =)

So... despite the uncomfortable block nose, block ears, cough or whatever may come my way, Nevertheless nevertheless GOD is with me.

Starwatcher - Ed Huckeby

Tomorrow is THE DAY for them. Somehow feeling quite excited. Its the day that make the past 8 months worth. =) its Band's SYF tomorrow. Wondering what will the results be.. Dont they think about how muCH hard work was put in all for today? Music is such an amazing thing. Every single beat, rhythm is just so important. Each and every single instrument plays such an important role. Just one extra sound, just one too loud or too soft at this major moment would make a world of difference. I pray that the music would flow and every single note played on time. =) Subconsciously i have the band song stuck in my head after listening to them practise over the past SO many months. I really pray hard for a good result tomorrow. I pray that they get what they deserve.

*In my prayers*

Weekends

SUNDAY! Usually i have Sunday blues but i seem to learn how to counter it =) So today i shall start talking about Sunday first. Woke up, church then lunch then restock my food then back home. =) Was pretty encouraged by the sermon today. It was a reminder to invest in people's life. No doubt i did understand the meaning of "making a difference" in people's life but today sermon gave me a new insight. Discipleship is something GOD centred. We hear GOD to lead us to the person to invest in.. using our heart to do so. =) Anyway it was a reminder to be this light and invest time and effort with GOD's leading into the children's life that i teach. =) Investing in people's life. thats another reason why teach =)

Told myself to have the discipline to go home early today after lunch! knowing that i had quite alot to settle. =\ Preparations.. I'm beginning to enjoy the serenity of Sunday. Being stress up making preparations for the week ahead but slowing down and stop to take time of enjoying music or exercise. Planned until i felt restless and decided to take a break. It was between "banging" my piano or going for my long postpone run. =) I chose to run today =) i think it felt very very good =) I miss the feeling of running! Running can relieve stress too!

Oh wells.. came back and back to planning... *reminder* to run moreee~

Saturday..

Managed to meet up with Chun, edi and Yan Liang (though wasnt really supposed to meet him but was fun to catch up) OKkayy going out with chun and edi is the usually routine of waiting for someonE *cough* to be HALF and HOUR late *cough* then finallyy he came lol. yes.. and the usualy routine of getting bullied by them! We chatted a while, as usally make me laugh non-stop with the rubbish... caught a suPER late movie before heading home. =) They who suggested walking hm from lot one.. =p while i was super tired and refused to do so. Oh wells. its been long since we met up like that again and my uber irritating di says see me 7mths timee haha after he ORD! *thanks ahh* =)

Anyway it was fun!

Thats the weekend...

"like that lor" week =)

Here goes my update for the "like that" week! =)

Its been a pretty normal week... =) A week rejoicing in GOD because He sustained me through the day where i had pains. I think i was quite empowered during DG today. I think GOD just reminded me alot through the sharings of my dg mates.
From one of my DG member...

12Whoever(A) belittles his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man of understanding remains silent. Proverbs 11:12

I was reminded when to hold my tongue and that its just something that lack sense doing so. I was reminded of when to keep silent.

From another of my DG who was just sharing her experience.. i think it just reminded me of myself. =) Nevertheless i think the sharing was so frank that it bonded us closer together as a DG. So i really thank GOD for that.

On the other hand, one thanksgiving i have for the week is GOD leading me to pick up the phone to call my missing di. haha yes the one i struggled whether to call or not for the past two months thinking that he has officially disappeared yet worried that i call and realise that he was just plain "bo chup" =p. haha. conclusion: HE IS FOUND! haha.. yes.. actually come to realise that it was "my fault" to forget that he was going overseas for a few weeks. I was glad that GOD led me to call and encourage this "bo chup" bro of mine. It was kind of a "burden" lifted from me =)

Anyways, on one hand GOD reminded me to exercise His wisdom in things and issues. Pick my battle on things that are worth and not to choose the wrong battle. I choose to opt out of this battle but meanwhile reminded to love unconditionally.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Cor 13: 5 - 7

Term 2 Week 3

Lunch Buddy Outing !! *finally*

heh.. yes. its our long awaited outing soon...

Before one dearest buddy sails away! =)

I think kind of need to meet up fartttyy fam soon too.. !!

Ohhh and by the way i think i have to declare edi di to be officially lost! Thats a little worrying.. After failures to contact by phone,sms, email, online for about near 2 months. haha yess its getting a little worrying...

Anyways .. here is a beautiful poem =)

The strength to resist the night
The strength to endure the day
The strength to keep righteous paths in sight
The strength to take them without delay

The strength to find a purpose in life
The strength to find the truths it brings
The strength to kick away from strife
The strength to stabalize the rock it clings

The strength to light a friend’s day up
The strength to resist wrathful foes
The strength to fill a stranger’s dry cup
The strength to shun sin when it opposed


The strength to feel an injured man’s pain
The strength to hold a reject’s hand
The strength to act against any gain
The strength to love without demand

The strength to understand that our King
Has blessed us with more than we can contain
Therefore regardless what time may bring
The strength will continue to reign
