Thanksgiving Post

Have been slightly busier going out and stuff after the TNG camp but i decided to blog down some of my thanksgiving and reflections.

Firstly, I thank GOD for opening my eyes and heart for the youth. I guess while i shuttled between the group and org com, i still thank GOD for allowing me to spend most my time with the youth in my group and hanging out with them. There was a long session where i had the opportunity to pray and share with a few youth. It opened my heart and eyes to see that these youth needed someone to pray and guide them. Therefore, i would say the TNG camp definitely opened my eyes and give me great anticipation with the changes that the youth ministry is going to have.


Secondly, I thank GOD for good grades. I wouldnt deny that sem and sem again i look at my grades and tell GOD how undeserving i think i am to get such good grades. I am only reminded that it is only by HIS grace that my grades are well. Although it still didnt reach my 4.5 gpa that i was aiming to target, but i recognise that what i have is GOD given and is defintely better.

So, THANK GOD for my 4.39 (although my grades seem to increase at a constant rate of 0.02 each sem) haha.. =)

Thank GOD for some catchups with su xian, hao, wanmei, edi... just lacking the fArt fam..

My Thanksgiving this month of December.

....In memories....

I write this in memory and in reflection of a life that now lives in our memory but definitely taught us some things....

This was what kept going through my mind at mandai...

In life we get to cross our path with someone just for that moment, but we often fail to realise the importance of sharing the gospel...

At that moment i felt the need to share.. because..
if only he had a chance to respond to u...
If only someone asked him that question...

It may not be our mission to bring him to Christ but...
at least share and ask...

God, i was reminded so so so reminded to share and not regret the next time or rather each time...

well, in loving memories..(as i wrote in the book)
It has been fun:

Beating NIE orientation Queue for us
Virtual NIE tour
Attending all our Friday morning lectures
East Coast Park

and this is how i remember u best by how u communicate with Amanda ..

But i know for sure...

GOD is still good through it all..

God is our Healer

Ming Xuan...The first person who taught me what was death was you and i thought of you... You taught me what was it like to lose a friend but I know someday God will let us meet once again. But most importantly God taught me how to overcome it and remember u still.

Today I grief the lost of another it's a very unreal feel but this time God teach ppl to grow stronger thru u alone.u have a glorious plan for her so please teach her grow herand empower her. Though this trip I don't know where this friend of mine is heading, I just pray for grace and mercy upon Him...

Jesus take the Wheel (not the steering wheel)

=) I was really reminded again and again....
Jesus take the wheel of my life... because i cant do this on my own..
I know i have been living my life on my own this sem..
taking my wheel in my own hand..
Trying to score good grades with my own power..
for my own purpose and my own glory...
that is so so so so so selfish to get caught up in my own life.
WHERE is GOD?

was reminded to let go.. let go and let GOD take charge.

So, here's a reminding abstract of this song...

one more week to end of school.. still not too late to let GOD take charge.. right?

JESUS take the wheel....

I've been living my life

I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, ooh

The Next Generation

Reminded during today's sermon by this inspiring video.

The Question is: In ten years, Would you have make a difference?

Reminded the importance of "Nurturing The Next Generation. =)"

...

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Hate being confused about GOD's standard...
And this is all the bible says.
so vague.
If all is vainity
we should just eat bread daily and any other food should be vainity isnt it.
we should just have one entertainment and the rest are vainity right.
we should just have the basic needs and the rest are vainity right.
where should we stop.
where is the line.
okay.. i'm being negative here.

To tell him that YOU love him

Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away

Chorus:
So maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear
is tearin' at my words
What am I so afraid of?
'Cause here I go again
Talkin' 'bout the rain
And mullin' over things
that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth

Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance
to tell him that You love Him

But here I go again
Here I go again

Lord, You love him so
You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe
He will never die
But how then will he know
What he has never heard?
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life

Chorus:

But here I go again
Here I go, here I go

Chorus:

This might be my last chance
To tell him that You love him
This might be my last chance
To tell him that You love him

You love him, You love him
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard?

Yup. Maybe this time... i'll speak your Words of Life.
What am i so afraid of?

How do you preach the gospel in chinese and hokkien or even bring up the gospel to someone you've never ever talked about the gospel to? or maybe never even been extremely close to your whole life? yet you know you have limited time left to at least let him hear and know of the gospel once.. at least once.. and you know that you have done at least your best for GOD.

God, give me the wisdom to preach the gospel to my grandfather though i dont know how.
Lord, give him the time to listen..

(oh oh oh oh..... oh oh oh OH) =p

Today is the day..
YOu have made...
i will rejoice and be glad in it.....
(oh oh oh oh).....(oh oh oh oh)

watch it =p
we sang this song during worship today...
i sooooo have it stuck in my head...

Indeed GOD, rejoice and be glad in today and not worry about tomorrow =p

BECAUSE i trust in what you say! (oh oh oh oh).....

I Stand in Awe of You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCacla77PoY

You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful of comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard
Who can grasp you infinite wisdom
Who can fathom the depth of your love
You are beautiful beyond description
Majesty enthroned above


And I stand, I stand in awe of you
I stand, I stand in awe of you
Holy God to whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of you.

These are the words i have for GOD...
Results are out today....
I stand in awe of my Holy GOD, in awe of HIS grace upon me.

my grades i would say are not bad... 4.37, an improve from 4.33...
my initial reaction was still disappointed!!
ya! (proving that human wants are really never enough)

but after a while i start to give thanks and realised that i stand in awe of a holy GOD who blessed me although i neglected HIM for near a semester..
as i reflected upon how GOD was so small this semester as i was constantly "distracted",
yet GOD in His mavellous grace and infinite wisdom showered His grace upon me and maintained my grades.. i can never understand GOD's blessings...

i thank GOD.. and i PRAISE GOD.. and i say...

I stand in awe of your grace upon an unworthy servant..

THANK AND PRAISE BE TO GOD for my grades..

Amen =)
