Woah it’s mid November already!
About 7 weeks more to the end of 2008!
Past few weeks has been great, awesome, everything good! HAHA
Too good to be described! (:

Just came back from church!
Strike It weekend is just so exciting man!
Whole church auditorium was being turned into a street soccer court!
And captain’s ball going on just beside!
The sight of it is just, WOAH!
Beyond hype and excitement, I was very touched by the sight.
I mean where to find a place, where youths are totally enjoying themselves with Play Stations, Wii, Xbox, Street soccer, captain’s ball, then as I turn around, I see smiling faces of the adults/parents, enjoying themselves too!
I think I can only see this in Heart of God Church man!

In the world, people just despised the youth.
When adults see youths having a lot of fun, making a lot of noise, they will just think that it’s probably another group of trouble makers or people who has nothing better to do.
And it just seems so hard to bridge the generation gap!

In Heart of God Church, we know whatever we do has a greater purpose.
Pastors believe in the youths, and that’s how we grow to where we are today!
Radical young Christians doing great things for God!
I am just so thankful to be able to do what I am doing now.
I really treasure it and I learn to treasure even more now!
It’s a great privilege to be able to be living in people’s dream..
And my deepest desire is to see many more people experience what I have experienced!

It’s beyond good.
It’s like if I have tasted a nice plate of chicken rice, I would tell others how great the chicken rice would be. (sry if i made you hungry =X)
I have experience God, I know He is good, so I would want to tell others about God too!
But at the end of the day, it’s still the individuals who make their own decision whether to take the step of faith to accept Jesus into their lives (:

Whenever I see my parents, there are things that I really wished they will start to understand when I explain to them.
I think I need to see them in God’s perspective and also having more wisdom when talking to them.
Yes, one day we will be able to talk about spiritual things together as a family! It will come to pass! AMEN!

Today both Pastor How and Pastor Lia shared about similar things in Zone F service and Main service.
Maturity DOES NOT come with age, but maturity comes with the acceptance of responsibility
I was once so immature with my thoughts, the way I live my life.
I need to grow to be more responsible with the things in my life!
Being a 19 years old, doesn’t mean I am mature.
So much areas that I still change and grow in.
I need to be responsible of my sins.
I need to be responsible of all the decisions I made in life.
I need to be responsible of the things God placed in my life.
I just need to be more responsible in every single area of my life.

I was at PGSM preview with Premy and her friends last night.
It was good! I also got the opportunity to see how Pastor talked to the people.
Just by observing, I learn a lot from Pastor and also the leaders there (:

So much more to be said man.
This season, D5 has been just growing and growing.
God is just moving so powerfully!
One and a half months more.
I believe greater miracles are going to happen!

Another great day coming ahead!
Got to keep going..keep going..cannot stop!

Stay faithful

For one thing I know, God is good!
Always good! (:

Had a horrible time in the late morning just now.
But everything is in God’s control, in good control now (:
There are many things beyond our control, we just got to trust in God.

Anyway, saw the names of new friends coming for Nick Vujicic!
It’s gonna be great! My dear friends you gotta come with me!!!!! HAHA…

Went for Powerhouse this morning!
Very good man! Presence of God is so thick even though I was standing at the back at the media area (:
BREAKTHROUGH BREAKTHROUGH BREAKTHROUGH!

After that went to Val’s house, because she needs to look for her ez-link card.
Then when we reached her house, her ez-link card was lying on the table! LOL
God is good! (:

After that headed down to SP.
It was a very fruitful trip! SP is seriously very big! LOL
Miraculously, with Holy Spirit’s guidance, Valerie and I manage to find our way to meet Wenyi!
Met Wenyi, passed her a card, and talked to her a bit, then after about 5-10mins, she gotta go for her lessons! (:
Then later we met Wilfrid!! So long since we last met him!
Bought Hersey’s for him! HAHA!
Then talked with him like almost 1 hour.
By then Sharyl and Ryan was having break too.
Then Val, Sharyl, Wilfrid and I was chatting (standing up).
And he is coming for Nick Vujicic on Wednesday! :D
God is just amazing! HEH! Also get to know a few of Sharyl’s classmates!
Funny people man! hahaha..

WOAH! I am seriously excited man! :D
Gotta pray more!
Just a little more, a little longer, a little further!

Romans 8:18-30
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

I lost my voice.
I think I sound like a crow when I laugh man HAHAHAHAHA!
Maybe not, but I sound very horrible now. I sound so “man” now.
Nevermind, I have faith my voice will be back by tomorrow! XD

It has been a very interesting week.
I crashed 3 schools!
NYJC, TP and NP!
My next target is SP haha!
It’s quite fun crashing schools and meet up with people! :D

Tuesday a group of us met up and went to give John a surprise!
There were Valerie, Yiwen, Peifen, Sharyl, Jasmine, Peijun and myself!
He was very surprised when he saw us! :D
After that, we bus down to Singpost! I went to church for orchestra while the rest went to Shirley’s house to give her a birthday surprise! :D

Then Wednesday went down to Mazu with Valerie, Yiwen, Peifen and Nicholas.
I wasn’t cutting my hair, so I was just there taking photos (:

Yiwen and me very sad because we did not cut our hair at Mazu. HAHAHA!
Next time! (:

Thursday head down to TP to meet Moo’s friend!
On the way, met quite a number of familiar faces!
Met Linjia! And also get to know Jesslyn and the other friends like Ashraf, Gabriel,…
And then when the rest reached, we celebrated Linjia’s birthday! haha
I think he was just too shocked to give any expression.. haha (:
Then head down to church for orchestra.
And at night went to Bishan to have BBQ!

Friday went down to NP with Valerie, Peijun and Nicholas to meet Hupsong!
Then went to watch movie with Valerie, Jan and Zhenghui.
Watched Sing to the Dawn…and it’s really not very nice to watch.
I fell asleep through the movie..and woke up when it was near the ending -.-

Has been a great week meeting up with people.
While Jieru was away at London, I felt something different in D5.
Everyone begins to take ownership of the CG, and it feels good to be doing life together! (:
More than a team, we are a family, we are a body of Christ!
And we are about our Father’s business! (:
I have really learnt much things from Valerie too as I hang out more with her (:

If you ask me what keeps me smiling everyday despite of many problems, it’s the joy of the Lord that surpasses all understanding that gave me the strength within.
If you ever know me when I was younger(I am still young haha!), I used to give a gloomy face most of the time.
There is really a lot more to life, if you have yet to see it, you really got to start searching for it.
Look for it, and one day you would find the answer.

Even just knowing the answer is not enough, you got to experience it yourself.
I have experience God, and I know God is good.
Others can say what they want to say, but my convictions will never change.
Nothing can affect my relationship with God.
God never forsake us, even when sometimes we just feel so horrible about ourselves, when we just want to give up.
He is just there, always there.
We just got to look up, and we shall see the Light.

Every single day, it’s just great!
For good or for bad, I trust in God, because I know He is good.
As one day draws to an end, I thank God for everything that has happened.
When a new day begins, I look forward to the things that are going to happen.

This week is going to be great!
Nick Vujicic special meeting!
If you haven’t heard of it, you are certainly missing out something in life! (:
Come with me, I am sure you will like it!
It’s really a rare opportunity to hear from this amazing person!
The whole world is trying to grab him to speak in schools, and many other nations.
On 4th and 5th November, he is coming to Singapore!
SO WHY ARE YOU WAITING MAN!
His story is surely going to blow you away! (:
Tell me if you want to come! :D

This man is really amazing man.
Really can’t wait to hear from him! (:
Cannot miss it for the world, such a privileged and rare opportunity!

A very random funny video taken in church. A very random choir formed by yongda. I really have no idea why they were suddenly doing this. lol!

Everything has been great! (:
On Sunday as I was about 1 or 2 stops away to church, a sudden thought just came.
I realised, the year is drawing to an end soon, and I was reminded of how I see myself by the end of the year. And somehow, I felt I am still quite far away from there.

Then during prayer meeting, what Ivan shared just click in a moment.
God was reminded me of a few verses and it just keep coming back to me again and again!
I was just so geared up in the spirit after that!
Yes, there’s about 2 months plus left before 2008 ends.
What I am going to do within this period of time, is going to determine how I am going to end this year! (: WE GONNA BREAKTHROUGH!
Make the best out of what we have now. GO!
And I also learnt a lot from Charleston from what he preached!
His first preaching in main service has certainly impacted many many hearts and it’s just great! (:

Saturday was a really day that I feel so much excitement and a lot of things running in my mind.
Really need to grow in my capacity to hold more things.
Anyway, it was really great to meet Cai Ru again after not meeting for around 14 years I think? hahaha!
The best thing was that she came for service (:

Celebrated Jieru’s birthday and the whole process was quite funny..
I believe everyone enjoyed themselves that day (:
At the end of the day, I just felt quite tired yet accomplished.

But more things to come! haha!
I must keep on moving!!

God moves in our moving..
Amazing things are just happening!

NICK VUJICIC IS COMING! I AM EXCITED MAN!
JOIN ME TO HEAR HIS LIFE CHANGING STORY! :D
ASK ME FOR MORE DETAILS! HEH! (:

Today went to Pastor Ma’s wake and send her off.
It’s my first time attending a Christian funeral, and it just feel very different.
It’s a 100% assurance that Pastor Ma is now in a better place!
Why am I so sure?
Because I have faith for the things I don’t see.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
It’s a faith within me, an assurance, the hope in life.
This eternal life that is given to everyone of us as we believe in Jesus.

It’s definitely sad that Pastor Ma has left us and everyone is going to miss her, but we all know that we are going to meet her again in heaven!
Like what Pastor Lia has shared about the hope in our lives when we have Jesus with us!
It was really great to see many people giving their hearts to Jesus after Pastor shared! (:
I am really thankful to be able to know God, and I believe many more will come to know Jesus too!

During the very last service, the presence of God was just so thick and intangible..
And as the preacher was sharing some things, it just caught me thinking how would I want my departure to be like.

We always say we are going to run to the end of the race together, and yes i am definitely going to run till the very end with everyone else! And it’s going to be a victorious and significant one, living out a life for God’s glory, like a torch He holds proudly in His hands!

I have finished reading the book “Faith” by Dr Phil Pringle.
It really taught me a lot things. I think I am going to read it all over again (:

Oh yes! It was such great privilege to be able to do recording for CCH for the past 2 weeks (:
All the kids are just full of energy man!
But it’s awesome to see their energy channelled to the right place! (:

The sermon being shared spoke right into my heart too.
Being stretched CONSISTENTLY!
And preparing my heart for the rain! EXPAND!
Weize is just an amazing person. Always hanging around with the new friends! (:
All of them are just amazing too!

I am just totally blessed! (:

Last week had a short Live Feed meeting.
We end off with prayer and His presence was just so strong.
I just couldn’t hold back my tears.
Consistency & Confidence.

Today’s orchestra rehearsal was good too! (:
It just feel different!

CEG and BMI later on! haha!
Looking forward to it! (:

Hebrews 6:9-12
9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Watching Nick Vujicic’s video really amazed me!
Even after watching it over and over again, I never get tired of it!
He is just one amazing person!

No limbs, No limits!

This video is definitely not enough.
I can’t wait for him to come and speak in my church!
Tell me if you want to join me too!
It’s really once in a lifetime opportunity!
Hear his life story and be inspired by him! :D

my arms are aching badly. haha
so i just let the pictures do the talking…

This week has been pretty exciting for me.
Something that I thought was totally disastrous for me turn out to be pretty interesting..

Okay, basically my computer crashed on me.
Both my laptop and PC couldn’t work.

At that very moment I thought that’s the end of my life. HAHA!
Okay that’s a bit exaggerated.
But computer has been playing a great part in my life, so it feels like part of me is gone.

That caught me thinking, what’s wrong with me?
I still have God!

But my main worry was the screenshots I was supposed to help out with grace’s PW.
As my laptop has crashed, I can’t get my files anymore.
So I got to rushed out the images with pencils, colour pencils and paper.
But I manage to send it to them in the end with the help of the scanner at Manping’s house.
I was desperately looking for people to help.
Thank God, everything went well.

Then another day, I decided to bring over my cd player which i hardly use to my studyroom and start to play the old sermon CD. The presence of God so thick! My mum was around too..hahaha..she did not say anything, but she just keep on walking in and out of the room. She always do that when I watch CHC service or listen to sermon. LOL

What’s next? I had interview in school as well.
It went on pretty fine (:
The lecturers in NYP are really nice actually I realised.
Something I fail to see the past 2 years plus.

I was thinking a few days back that it has been long that I felt bored in life.
And did I feel bored this period of time?
Not really I think.
Like what I always tell others, when you are bored, find something to do.
So I always find something to do.
Like picking up my handphone and start sms-ing people I lost contact.
Some replied, some ignored. Hahaha..
But it was good anyway (:

At night, it is always so peaceful.
So I just let my thoughts run, and write down some stuff I learnt in my journal.

I learnt something about living for God’s glory from my devotional!
Which is really interesting.
When we are at the peak of our lives, we see God’s glory, but we don’t live for His glory.
It’s only when we are brought down from the mount to the valleys, then we are living for His glory.
We can believe in anything when we are on the mount, but will we still continue to believe in God when everything is coming against you?
That’s the true test of our faithfulness to God.

Something that really caught my heart!

Something God has been telling me about is to really build my foundation stronger.
Foundation is so important.

It has been amazing how I went through these few days.
I just feel that I got bonded closer with my parents too (:
I think all these were planned by God to teach me about something. haha (:
Anyway got to thank God for Yukai for resurrecting both my PC and laptop!
The most amazing thing is that my files are all still intact! :D

Woohoo! I just can’t wait for weekends to come!
Oh it’s here already! :D

Okay I am here to reveal the answer of who the little boy is..

Yes, it’s Nicholas Loh Junjie.

Peijun i will give you your bubble tea this coming weekend..haha!!
