These r the pics frm the retreat on Wed... check them out!


My 1st prawn!!


Seth and the prawns we caught!


Lunch time!!

Retreat #2... =)

Went fishing @ Pasir Ris Park with P. Ian, Seth and AL...
We caught prawns...bbqed them....had tt 4 lunch! 2gether with AL's egg-mayo sandwiches, P. Ian's chicken rice chili and his famous pickled onions, and the chips i brought... =) Yum yum!!! very satisfying...
It's juz a day of nua-ing....slacking...hehe...all we did was fish and eat... =P

Throughly felt tt God provided....the gd weather...the prawns...the great fellowship...
All these things r not possible w/o God...can't rely on our own abilities...our own strength...

He reminded me tt He is my strength when i am weak during Staff devotion 2day...
Lewis was sharing on Matt 11:28-30...tt we dun hv 2 carry unnecessary load (burdens) or face physical and emotional fatigue (weariness) alone....Jesus said 2 go 2 Him....His love is free...it's unconditional...
U noe...a york is a piece of wood which is placed on the shoulders of 2 oxen and this enables them 2 carry heavy loads...
Jesus said tt his york is light...we r on 1 side of the york and Jesus is on the other side...We r carrying the load 2gether...

But only when we r weak can Jesus help us...
So often we go abt doing our own things...trying 2 slove our problems with our own strength and our own wisdom...and getting frustrated and anxious...only when we stop struggling...and totally surrender 2 God in weakness is He able 2 come alongside us...
He said in v. 29...2 learn frm Him...He went 2 the Father in prayer and He prays 2 receive frm the Father...if Jesus - the Son of Man and Son of God is able 2 juz go 2 the Father in prayer and petition...so muz we...

Psalm 62:5-8 says tt if we want spiritual rest, go 2 Him....4 His york is ez and His burden is light...

You are my strength when I am weak....i noe this is frm a song...but izzit in the bible as well? in Psalms?...hm...
Apparently not...asked P. Dan and he said it's not frm the bible...if he says dun hv then it's really not there lah...
sigh...i cld hv sworn i saw it somewhere....nvm... =)

Another Revelation...

Had ministry meeting as usual with P. Ian and AL ...and AL was juz sharing tt during the wedding service she attended last Sat, she received a picture and a verse for the couple...but she didn't tell them coz many pple were already sharing wat they heard God say...and it's somewhere along the same lines...

Felt really fortunate...u noe...like xing fu...
It's so different being a Christian....hving bdays as a Christian....marrying in a church....it's juz so different...
Pple coming along side u and praying 4 u on ur bday....pple hearing God speak and sharing wat God had said 2 them on ur wedding day....
Fellowship.....Family....we're all one big family in Christ! haha...sorrie...sound very duh....but it really means a lot 2 me... =)

U noe the picture P. Ian had during a particular youth service...can't remember which one...
Anyway....he saw a picture of a test-tube and a jug pouring into the test-tube and it was juz over-flowing...it's God saying tt we're like test-tubes and He's like the jug....pouring His blessings into our lives and coz we're so small and He has so many things 2 give us...the belssings overflow and in turn we bless others ard us....
It's a cycle....God pours His abundant blessings in2 my life...it overflows and I bless someone else...and tt person overflows and blesses someone else....and it juz goes on....it's a beautiful thing isn't it?

God reveals different things 2 different pple @ different pts in their lives....
Guess God is showing me His great love....His love for His pple....and His pple's love for one another...
God is love....He created us outta love...His unfailing love....
The question is not abt y God luvs us.... We were beautifully created in His love....He created us so tt we can hv a relationship with Him...He didn't luv us AFTER He had created us...He loved us even before He created us...

What a wonderful God! So giving! So loving!
