Sunday, March 28, 2010

i have not felt so guilty, so upset for SO LONG!
what is this man.
where is the joy!?

what you guys said seriously made me pondering again.
i am mean
i am stubborn
i know what to do, but i am just not willing to do it.

"mean", "duty"
argh those words that pierce hard right into my chest.
i cant help it, i know i am wrong somewhere in the line
i know i am partially at fault but
I AM NOT WILLING TO SPEAK YET!

am i really committing such a sinful crime?
you guys tell me what to do,
and i do know what to do,
just not willing...is that too BAD?!

argh,
i am the bad person to many for this right
i am the foolish person
i am the unforgiving person.
i am seriously a _____ person.
(i get it)

i just wanna fly off this world now.
why is all these unnecessary problems coming?!

GOD PLEASE ANSWER!
i need to know,
i need strength
why do you seem so far away.
(i know you are near, but so close yet so far)
and i can give a reason for that: cause i am unwilling

IT IS ALL BECAUSE I AM UNWILLING!

Like A Fire
Planetshakers

Like a fire shut up in my bones
I want the world to know You are God
With a passion burning deep within
I want the world to know that You live

Let Your presence come and saturate
Every part of me, make me new
Let Your Spirit come and move within
Fill me once again ’cause I need more

Jesus I’m desperate for You
Jesus I’m hungry for You
Jesus I’m longing for You
‘Cause Lord You are all I want


Come like a flood and saturate me now
You’re all I want
Come like the wind and sweep throughout this place
You’re all we want

1Cor 10:23
""Everything is permissible"- but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"-but not everything is constructive."

The bible gets more real and real each time i read it!
this verse it truely a reminder that dont waste time doing things that it is meaningless
imagine spending 1h slacking, stoning...
you could have used that hour to call up a friend and ask how she is and stuff
time is precious.
your youth dont last forever.
live life fully for God!

During CCA,
Mrs Gurong said this,
" Everyone is impaired some way or the another (be it in a subject, physically, etc) It is only when we overcome this barrier (like how Helen Keller overcame her disabilities) can we really soar out of our world!"

well, cca isnt meaningless at all.
if you pay attention.
teachers do say the greatest sentences of all!

anyway,
yup, i am sick.
flu, soarthroat, headache, and hopefully NO FEVER!
skip school on tues, yesterday, but didnt really REST
more of doing homework and cleaning up my room
(note: they isnt wasting time though)
so ya, i am blogging in a neat room right now! WOOTS!
cant believe that 3 groups could not perform for drama just because of sick people, like me.
mr A would have been MAD!
i imagine his expression.

term 2 has been pretty alright, surprisingly.
not much tests, there is laughter, joke.
COOLIOS!
but what happens when week 2 arrives?
WHO KNOWS? leave it up to GOD!

oh ya, i should blog about this week's monday!
many things happened!
firstly, i was already super tired due to staying awake during my sleeping hours just to print project stuff...
(was falling ill)
secondly, i was "worrying" about worship for this sunday.
need the songs and everything...
BUT!
on monday, i found out i have science centre trip this sat, and thus, cannot lead worship.
if i had an earlier notice, i could have told dani in time.
had to trouble her, SO LAST MINUTE, to find a replacement....

then there was the science CHEM proj for some anderson jc competition.
well, i managed to print the 4 sets of 30 pages report out.
and i thought it was the end of the hardwork.
I WAS WRONG.
i totally forgotten/ didnt know, i have to have a soft copy on my thumbdrive.
i thought i could send it to mrs tan after school, but NO!
the anderson guy was coming to transfer the files at 2.45pm and
teacher says she didnt want the guy to wait.

i end school at 2.20 and i have to go back home, transfer file, go back to school by 2.45?
it is impossible.
only one possible solution, if mdm suah would allow me to end class early,
and leave at 2.
there was about 1% chance she would even allow.
i prayed and prayed, and when i asked her,
i knew there were only 2 possibilities,
1. NO!
2. dismiss at 2.10? (10min) earlier.
but guess what, she said okay, and asked whether 2 was sufficient?!
it was indeed a GOD DELIVERANCE!
at 2, i dashed out of the school and found that there was already a taxi outside the gate.
took the taxi home, and was back at home by only a few min.
transferred files...etc, and went out to catch a taxi back to school..

everything seemed perfect, i had sufficient time!
but, then as i waited by the road, many taxi(s) passed by me,
but none heading towards toa payoh direction.
NONE!
i waited for quite a long time, and seeing that the opp side of the road had more "luck"
i crossed by faith.
i waited and waited. no taxi(s) at all!
about 15 min passed, and i was still waiting.
suddenly i saw a taxi, i told GOD, "Lord, if this taxi would not stop to toapayoh, i will run to the MRT"
and by GOD's GRACE! that taxi driver was willing to send me back to school as quick as possible.
things seemed to lighten up again!
WRONG!

i was caught in a traffic jam due to the downpour.
my heart was just thumping heavily.
i closed my eyes and just kept on praying for faith and open doors!
i called my friends to locate the teacher and tell her about my whereabouts, that
i was stuck in a traffic jam!
2.45pm, passed.
LATE!
i arrived at school at 3!
i dashed out of the taxi and ran in the rain to the office where i found my chem teacher smiling away.
she was like what happened, and when i told her all that have happened,
SHE LAUGHED!
totally a constrast from a furious face.

oh well,
monday, term 2 week 1 was indeed hectic!
had drama prac till 630, went straight to chinese tuition,
back at 9, slept, and fell sick! HAHA!
oh well, GOD HAS HIS PURPOSE FOR EVERYTHING.
but indeed, it was a test of faith : DDD

" Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible"
1Cor 9: 19


" Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore i do not run like a man running aimlessly; i do not fight like a man beating the air. No, i beat my body and make it my slave so that after i have preached to others, i myself will not be disqualified for the prize"
1Cor 9:25-27

what are your thoughts on this?
servanthood is a character leaders need.

term 2 starting tomorrow.
WOAH!

Friday, March 19, 2010

There is a reason why there are endless clichés about perseverance...

"Hang in there"
"When the going gets tough..."
"No pain, No gain"


They were invented to remind us that there is honor in hardwork, which makes success taste even sweeter.


Fattybenny gives good advise!

"It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare; It's because we don't dare that things are difficult"
This is what fattybenny told me.

GATSBY CAMP!
well, now it will get a bit boring when i reflect a bit on what went on during the camp.

indeed, i have to give credit to the leaders for planning such a successful camp
it was only a team of 4 people i guess...
this shows that it is not necessary to have a huge planning team in order for a successful camp to be archieve.
i guess God truely strengthened them and despite stress and anxiety,
i think they can say is this:
IT WAS WORTH IT!
ALL THE WAY GATSBY CAMP COMM.!!!

so yes, they were indeed clever to split up all the cliques,
especially mine (though i wont describe it as a clique)
but ya, they were wise in the choice of team members

i have to be honest, i was not totally happy with whom i was grouping with,
wished there were my girls there
but oh well,
the camp comm. was smart.
placing me in a group that was completely not the usual groupings i had
was indeed a challenge that should be given thanks for.
i have to admit i got closer to team mates like angel and fatty benny
and got to know new friends such as liucan
yes, totally awkward grouping, but with lessons to be learnt at every angle

now, the games in the camp were indeed chosen wisely
yup, though some of the games were not pleasing in a sense,
there were lessons behind it
arguements, anger were breed i guess (100% honest about this)
but love and care were fostered as well
i guess we have to focused on the brighter side!
and i really wanna compliment team: GELLAX.
i have never seen such a bonded united team and it isnt surprising they would win almost every game
not only do they work together, they cheer together and support others together
(oh, and are really polite too)
it truely dawned upon me that unity truely plays a huge role in the body of Christ.
what if someone doesnt play a part?
surely the church will crack somehow.
GELLAX was impressive and a true role model too!

now, overall views.
i think that food was great!
love breakfast-nutella bread.
and lunch and dinner was satisfying
want my more curry *hint*

ministry time is also fulfilling
my expectations were met
i feel ready for term 2 and the days to come
i know what is coming for this year, and i am going to be prepared for it
daniel said this year, is the year where i will really transformed in character
but i would go through a lot of difficulties, hardships just to shed all those old skin
like a butterfly emerging from a caccoon,
the process is tough
but it is worth it.
and now, i have something to totally remind me to press on, persevere on!
the ending will be good.
tough days dont last, but tough people do!

friends.
well, besides my team mates,
i got to catch up with old buddies like jessica, louiza
reconcile with people
pray for others
and make new friends (like the younger ones -jia qing, marcus, etc)
yup! it was great!
oh and talking to fatty benny is awesome!
like walk 10 rounds and time seems to pass so fast!
haha! cool bro!
(anyway, i have to update his blog soon)

OH YA!
and ex classmate-kenneth- came!
it is truely by GOD's grace man!
and i think a seed was indeed laid in his heart
yihui came to the Lord too!
BLESSINGS!

and i have to type this:
first night, was mosquito infestation.
terrible. mosquitoes were everywhere.
and it was quite symbolic to me.
i lead worship that night, and i prayed this out loud:
"May God's presence be in this hall, so that Satan cannot enter this place, but if he does, may we trample on him"
so the mosquitoes were like Satan's doing, trying to destract us from focusing on the Lord.
there were two groups of people:
1. people who were seriously distracted, and just spent the night shoo-ing the mosquitoes and insects away
2. people who ignore the surroundings n just listen(though occasionally if u see an insect on you, just whack it)
well, i thank God i was in group 2.
in the bible, there are stories of disciples that were bitten by poisonous creatures such as snake but was not affected at all by the venom.
guess what, when i got bitten, i was not affect by the venom.
the scars were evident, but there were no pain.
though right now, my body is itching because of the bites, (i went to scratch opps)
i think God is truely a deliverer and an amazing GOD!

yup, so now you know why camp is great!
: DDD

oh ya, and guess what,
i slept at 3.30am and woke up at 7am
was super tired
and had no time to sleep at home cause had drama prac
i was dozing off man!
my brain was like running away...etc
but oh well,
I AM GOING TO SLEEP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

note: we as Christians are like farmers that sow the seeds to the field, but God is the overall controller. He controls the growth of the plants. so do be disencouraged when what you sow do not reap immediately! : DDD

cant you believe it
term 1 is over
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

well, yesterday was an impressive day!
haha! and model citizens play was totally awesome!
i feel so inspired
what i hope is that it is inspiring enough to get me some ideas for drama devising for the seal wife piece.

and today i shall stay over at sentosa
so ya, toodles to this com for today?! (a day...)

holidays are going to be great i guess
besides the fact that tons of work are piling up
really piling up
i guess right after gatsby camp i have to go back to mugging
hopefully after this camp,
i will indeed be recharged to serve the LORD
in school
at home
in the public
etc

yes, and i should end off this term with this quote that i "designed":
doesnt mean i am not flying now means i have no wings, i am just preparing myself to soar!

Thursday, March 11, 2010

yup,
today is the second last day of term 1.
and how quick is that!

this week of school has been awkward,
giving chances and regretting it
but during today's devotion makes me realise something:
this aint worth my anger

i know i hold a lot against _____--
ya but, is it worth getting angry at such a small matter?
bad impressions,
but maybe i am the same.


i am not the most beautiful person in the world,
i am not the most smartest,
i am not the richest,
but i know i am one of the most fortunate people in the world
cause i have a God up there who sees me as beautiful no matter what.
NO MATTER WHAT!
(this is something i will never exchange for)

just pray that tomorrow will be a fresh day
a day
a great day
a great day to end term 1
OFFICIALLY

1 Cor 1:8-9
" He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God, who has called you into fellowship, with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."

Amen.
Though my results are horrible now, it is not the end.
it is the beginning of a fresh revival and wake up call.
I will indeed excel and will also remember this,
if the end is not good, it is not the end yet, as the end will indeed be good.
I know God will reward me in His timing,
all i have to do is persevere and trust in Him.

spent a day convincing
people to go for getaway camp
spent a day convincing
parents to let their kids go for getaway camp.

it was a fulfilling exprience,
i seriously feel that something great is going to happen during camp
everyone will be impacted
and i am not convinced that so few people should be attending
GOD'S MIRACLES ARE GONNA POUR YO!
the whole entire world should flood the place now,
to be ready,
to be ready to receive.
may more people come. : DDD

had leaders' meeting
and was really captivated by gloria
she looks so innocent.
as i watch how dani play with gloria,
how she cleaned the saliva everytime it drip on her hand,
well, i just feel that my mum is awesome.
that is what she did for me.
and now, i can watch how she did it.
dont you find it annoying whenever saliva is on your hand?
but a mothers' love is so pure, so sincere
dani wipes the saliva away with joy, with the sparkle in the eye.
sweetness!

i have a lot of pondering to do about being a leader.
commitment?
*thinks*

Seriously,
take time and watch this video.
simple video, with one purpose- to spread the gospel.

it was a reminder of my faith. : DDD

Wednesday, March 03, 2010

Prayer for the day:
Lord, i pour out my heart before You regarding the things in my life that cause me grief. i lift my hands to You because i know You are my hope and Your compassion for me never fails. Heal me of all emotional pain, and use the sorrow i have suffered for good. I pray that in Your presence i will find total restoration. Amen

Declaration for the day:
Psalms 91
vs 1-2, 4-7, 11-16
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, " He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be Your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all ways;
they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and serpent.
"Because he loves me, " says the Lord, " I will recus him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My name.
He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation."
