YEAR TWO SEM ONE

Image
Whoa! the best sem I spent with God. Haha! I think every sem God will never fails to give me a breakthrough and something new to try.. Take up the role as a shepherd and exam HQ praise lead. Omg, super insecure please but in the end still took up the role to serve, haha! quite thank God that I didn't choose avoidance, trust in Him like how He trust in me! Really hope that Sabrina and Steffen's stay in Singapore had caused them to drew nearer to God, their visit to our Church is definitely not a coincidence! Jiajia is gonna start asking me to lead worship next sem.. OMG!!!! ok Geraldine, don't reject her ok?? rmb what God says about serving?! everybody has their first time! cui nevermind but God loves a cheerful giver! (: What did you want to do for God in your NUS ministry? is to give back to God isn't it? so give cheerfully by serving! That is the attitude that pleases God! Anyway, some past memories in year two sem one I'm gonna miss.. A new member in our LG! ...

THE CALL 2013 NUS CAMP

a very short camp but impacted me quite a lot! was quite down on day 1 when my mum and sis are angry with me for not holding joss sticks The night games all the way till 3am seems to exacerbate my emotions.. but thank God I have supportive LG to bring me through this, and an understanding sheep to be a listening ear and prayed for me. Some take-away from the camp.. 1) Relationship with God is not completely active as God is taking initiative as well and it is not completely passive as well! True Christianity is about how much we obey, not how much we know.. When we serve, is not about we shine, but is about He shines. God ask us to serve people is not about doing it super zai, when u avoid, we push away the trust God has in us. Be faithful, it is their free will to reject God, but we must be faithful in sowing seeds. 2) in my future teaching career: Don't aim to shine or take part in politics! Be humble, just do your own job. Grade for teachers? isn't that a worldly stan...

Do u believe in unconditional and everlasting love?

Hi! This is going to be a post about Love! and is especially for non-Christians! please do read it! it only takes u 5 minutes! I believe there is a reason why u pass by my blog and saw this post! :) Have you ever wonder how did the earth came about? Well.. according to science, is due to the big bang theory.. but do u know the occurrence of the big bang theory is 1 in a trillion? and yet it happen? some scientists still cant fully explain natural selection as some creations are too sophisticated to be true! There is a creator! Do you know that every single one of us are created by God and we are significant in his eyes? He wants to know us and he regard us as a child of his! Today, i just want to let u know that there IS a God who loves each of us as if there were only one of us. U might ask, "how do you know? There's no prove." Well. My life is a prove! if u read all my posts, u will realise how my life was changed inside out by this God. and is not ...

Refreshed by God everyday..

Image
Recently met up with Liwei for our third shepherding. Indeed, after refreshing her, I felt refreshed as well. As im sharing with her the importance of seeking you. I was reminded of how precious your presence is to me.. Your presence allows me to hang on for the rest of the day. Your presence is sufficient for me. Your presence is your most precious gift for me. Who am I? such a sinful man that deserve your care and love? Lord I know u see my heart, when I desire to seek u, u will give me. "if u who are evil know how to give good gifts for your children, what's more that your father in heaven will give good gifts to those who ask him?" I still remember during defining chapter uni camp, when timothy was giving out alter call about who wants to join the pioneering group, I wanted to step forward.. but I chicken out because im not sure if im ready.. But like what merly said, u'll never be ready, just go! But is this really my calling? Dad.. the thought of st...

Your neighbour is beautiful, depends on how you wish to see it!

JiaJia save up food for me during sub d even though I didn't ask her to. She come and asked if I'm ok whenever I look down... She handmade me a pencil case during my birthday She trust in me, encourage me when I felt inadequate in serving. She send me random pictures to ask me to jiayou for exams. She always answer my queries and bible questions whenever I asked. Whatever problems I faced, she will help immediately and chuck aside her work/studies just for me. At times she even call me up straight just to ask how am I doing. WeeKeong brought me capo and use liquid paper to erase away the price tag He taught me guitar in school He audio record to teach me He buy exam biscuit pack for LG He buy marker pen for LG He buy me Xiao long bao. He buy me milk tea for service. He advices me when I'm stuck with my first chairing. He made me a friendship band during my 2nd uni camp. He design cards for lg mates He buy sweet to offer LG during service. He buy dinner...

Huili's wedding

Image
Philippians 1:9-11 New International Version (NIV) 9  And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10  so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11  filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God. as we have more and more knowledge about one another, (flaws etc), we learn to accept them, and our love will grow even deeper.. Know what is best and pure till the end of the age. relationship must produce good fruits.. and praise God no matter what. :) We are already complete in Christ, we do not have to find our security in relationship or marriage. However, a couple choose to be union as one is to shine brighter for God. What is the point of gathering two candles together if they do not shine brighter in flame?? Have been fasting for a month for God to gave me a steadfast peace in BGR iss...

be loving!

Image
  We are to speak the truth of God, and not to hide it just to please man. but at the same time, it is also important to say it in LOVE. be patient and not aggressive!     My prayer to God, let me be gracious to my family, merciful towards people that hurt me, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love towards your people.             Before I speak, does it build up that person? am I being gracious? always be tender like how Jesus talk to the sinners. Do not be straightforward and be the right influence.

community matters

Pastor Jeff shared about how a church/ LG should be loving and encouraging to one another. and I think the community should keep this in mind. I shall be the one to start it! be it even in very very small ways. Need to start praying for Syn yeow, and also for Kester. Hope they will let go of their past, and be joyful..  

first shepherding with Liwei

Image
She loves taro milk gong cha 100% sugar! must note down cause i'm bad in remembering ! and she likes anything that's sweet, white chocolate and especially gummi bears! xD have been fasting for my own spiritual walk with God so that I am able to guide her and also grow together in faith. Prayed that God will use me to grow her and be a spiritual guider. "being a shepherd is to serve" " a shepherd lay his life down for his sheep" "being a shepherd is to love unconditionally, always hope, always trust"

My defining chapters.

Defining Chapters #1 insecurities I was extremely rebellious during my secondary school period. I was addicted to gaming, not interested in studies and do things that does not honour my parents (including pointing middle finger at them, don't judge me uh! ) Vulgarities is a norm for me. I started to question myself what is the purpose in life. I was a very unforgiving person, still remember how I threw my friend's textbook away just because I was pissed with her. I never had real joy. #2 A joyful heart My life was transform inside out when my friend brought me to church. I choose take a step of faith to trust in him. I found unconditional love from God which I never believe existed. He is real, he is so so real in  my life. I still remember asking God for help to turn away from my sins, and miraculously I stopped saying vulgarities almost instantly which most people will take a long while to quit this bad habit. I started putting in more effort for studies to glorify God and ...

Uni Camp 2013

Image
 This camp has impacted me so much as compared to last year :) THE CHAPTER OF GLORY AND LEGACY Every life will tells a story, what's yours? One generation later, the legacy of noble human beings are usually forgotten. Only spiritual legacy will last. Thus, is not whether if people remember you, but is if they remember Jesus. Faith takes practice to stand firm when problems come. Don't wait till you "get there" then u start building strong relationship with Christ. Have the voluntarily humility to seek God and need him despite being all well to do. James 4:6 : God opposes the proud but give grace to the humble God is more interested in your heart than your skills. THE CHAPTER OF LOVE, ROMANCE, AND ALL THAT HEART-RACING STUFF God is the author of love. Let Him write my love story. He is a giver and wants to bless :) "Seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" Being with a non-believer, think about values and...

Cambodia daries..

Image
So much things to share that i don't know where should I start.. alright, I shall begin with why I choose Cambodia over other ocip, Since Secondary school, u nder my wish list, I hope to go Cambodia to teach after I graduated from NIE. But I received an email from YMCA and i think it's a good opportunity to go with the school instead. And I thank God so much for this trip as it has certainly impacted me a lot. My heart for the needy grew stronger. As volunteers, we are seeing things beyond the eyes of a tourist. During the trip, I realised the importance of interaction and not just fulfilling their financial or materialistic needs,, I always think negatively that the money i spent on the air tickets and food etc can last their school fees for a year, or build more wells/ fence for them.. yes, it's true that we can help them more financially, but what they need is also our presence as well.. Spending time with them, interacting, is an action of love, never underes...
