Prophesy?....
Was really blessed 2 witness the slavation and baptism of Youya's grandma... it's really amazing how God works...how He used pple like Aunty Laura and Uncl Yan (who hv experience in intercessions like this) 2 touch her life...and the timing is really wonderful...God's timing is really wonderful!
Uncle Yan was mentioning in the car on the drive back 2 church frm Youya's grandma's place tt after watching it'll soon b my turn 2 intercede 4 pple in this way...tt was the 1st time someone entioned s/thing like tt 2 me...
Was talking 2 Emily after Revelations class yest and she told me tt Youya's grandma's story was really amazing...then she heard tt pple who follow Aunty Laura ard will get their turn 2 intercede and pray 4 pple 2 receive Christ @ their deathbeds...i mean...not nec in tt way...but like...yah...intercede 4 pple lah...and she said maybe it'll b my turn 2 pray 4 pple in situations like this...
Was thinking abt wat she said on my way hm...then the song Making A Difference came 2 me...
I want to run to the altar
And catch the fire
To stand in the gap between the living and the dead
Yah...i really wanna stand in the gap between the living and the dead...coz God is the God of the living and not the dead (Matt 22:32)...
I really do wanna c pple get saved b4 they go and meet our Creator... =)
Yup yup...will pray abt it...hee...
If u're reading this, pls pray 4 God 2 provide finances 4 my Laos trip coz gotta pay in 2 weeks time... Thnx!! Am really going in faith this time...in the past the major reason 4 not going 4 mission trips is coz of $$...yah... =)

Woah....
2day was a pretty mad rush...sending emails, confirming flights 4 the mission trips, type out stuff...
It's gd 2 b bz...makes me feel useful...heh...wierd i noe...but i do feel more useful if i hv things 2 do...
Anyway...Youya called me @ 1+ in the afternoon 2 say tt her grandma's discharged and tt she is in critical condition...the doc said she has only a few days 2 live...so it'll b gd 4 Aunty Laura and Uncle Yan 2 go down 2 preach 2 her in Cantonese...
So we went down 2 her grandma's place @ ard 5+...went 2 her rm 2 c her...she's attached 2 the respirator and looks like she has difficulty breathing...she's really weak...so weak tt she can't even turn her head...heard frm Youya's mum tt her grandma cld still talk yest but she juz cldn't 2day...
Uncle Yan felt tt he shld get everyone outta the rm and close the door, leaving juz him and Aunty Laura....which was exactly wat he did...guess they prayed 4 her....then he opened the door 2 let us in again...we prayed in tongues...
Uncle Yan cld sense tt she had accepted Jesus as her Lord and Saviour...so he spoke 2 her and confirmed it...he then asked 4 a glass of water so tt he cld baptize her by sprinkling...After tt we cld c tt she's more alert...her eyes were open the whole time...b4 we started praying she looked v drowsy...
It's really amazing how God works and how He uses His pple 2 do His wk...i told Uncle Yan that there was a string of Buddha beads near her bed and abt the altar on the living rm...Uncle Yan said he wasn't bothered by these things at all coz our God is greater than any of these things...we r serving a living God... Amen!!
It was a really gd experience...how the Holy Spirit moves and work when we allow Him 2....yah....
God has really been revealing more and more of Himself 2 me....and everytime He does...i'll b so awed..... =)
Woah!!

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!

God is really Awesome!
P. Ian, Ailing and I had morning devotion this morning and we were juz praying 4 the youth leaders....and i was juz really irritated...since yest...tt Satan always come between u and God when u hv made the decision 2 follow Him or give Him ur life or juz say yes 2 s/thing tt God wants u 2 do.... That rat will always b there 2 discourage u frm following God...
Amazingly....i'm still in awe by the way....wow....God is so....WOW!!! anyway...i received the word... frm Romans 8:28-39... particularly v. 31 and 37.... juz then P. Ian's fone rang so he went out 2 ans it...so we stopped praying 4 a while...AL then asked me whether God said anything 2 me...so i told her abt the passage and tt God said if He is 4 us, who can b agst us...coz we're more than conquerors thru Him who luved us...
P. Ian came in after the fone call and AL told him tt i received a word frm God...i told him and he showed me his notebk... tt was exactly wat he had written down b4 the fone rang - "We are more than conquerors in God"....
AL received the same thing on Mon and she entered it in her blog....
Wow...it's so amazing how God spoke the same thing to 3 different pple...
AL then prayed 4 me...4 wisdom and knowledge........His wisdom and His knowledge....coz we can't do things juz based on our puny human minds....heh....
Another revelation......u noe when we say tt we submit our all 2 God....this doesn't juz mean our relationships, our finances, or family......it's mean our ALL...or EVERYTHING....even our THOTS!!!!! s/thing tt we can't control sometimes...we hv 2 submit them 2 God...
it's tough isn't it? =)
it really helps when u hv a grp of frens who can pray 4 u and keep u in track....2 think happi thots...think Godly thots...
P. Ian says devotion helps too!....begin each morning with God's Word...and align our thots with God's b4 we begin 2 do anything....
I'm struggling....i'm sure many of us r...but we're persevere....and allow God 2 change us...4 us 2 truly submit 2 Him...
Gotta pray!!!!!! =)

I was juz thinking abt Sam's prob...they hv differing views on their future 2gether...
Like her bf wanna retire @ 30 and live on the rent tt he can collect frm his property, and hv chickens running ard in their backyard...he wanna stay in a rustic cottage in the countryside, 35 mins away frm the city, by car....
She, on the other hand, wanna work and hv enuf $ 2 come back 2 Sg 2 visit her family and frens...she thinks tt he lacks ambition and tt he doesn't noe wat he wants 2 do with his life...
It's more than tt actually....2 long 2 type it out...heh...
Is this an inherent prob betw couples? do couples hv 2 share the same vision 4 the future? coz they've been living 2gether and HE wants 2 marry her soon (they're both 22)...but she doesn't wanna b tied down @ such a young age...she has yet 2 finish her degree and find work...and she doesn't wanna retire @ 30 and hv chickens running ard n her house...she doesn't wanna live in a rustic cottage in the countryside so far away frm civilization....
She's now hving doubts abt their relationship and wanna find another guy 2 test whether she truly luvs her bf or not...
As i listened 2 her yest...i told her tt she can't open another door b4 the one in Perth is closed.... I wanted 2 tell her 2 pray abt the relationship...coz she's not sure whether he's the One 4 her...but they're both not Christians...
So u think it'll b easier 4 Christians 2 deal with s/thing like this? wld it b different if God was the centre of their relationship? not tt i think non-Christians do not hv fulfilling relationships...juz tt it comes so naturally 2 me now 2 say tt we shld go 2 God abt this and ask Him wat we shld do or whether tt guy or gal is the One He had chosen 4 us...
I'm confused...heh... =p

HAPPI THOTS!!! but after wat had happened with toga it was no longer abt happi thots! pple r juz frustrated when they come here and read the angry words on the tagboard...juz doesn't serve the purpose of calling my blog happi thots does it? hv tried 2 ignore wat was going on @ the tagboard by posting happi entries and only replying 2 happi or funny msgs on the tagboard (like the one abt Klem running in his red shorts)...thot this might deter toga...apparrently i was wrong...
I juz hope tt toga will juz STOP going ard 2 my frens' blogs 2 post nonsensical msgs! And it's really despicable 2 post rubbish msgs using other people's nicks!

Yeah! got confirmed 2day!! now i'm a full-pledged Anglican! a member of the local church (SJSM) and the Diocese of S'pore! so exciting!!
Was sharing with P. Vincent that getting baptized and confirmed opens up a lot more doors 2 other types of ministry... coz Justin was talking 2 me abt singing @ SES...and u gotta b baptized AND confirmed 2 do it...so i told him i was gonna get confirmed on Sun...yah...the adults r v particular abt this lah...but it's gd! opens up a lot more avenues 2 serve... =)
Went 2 watch The Magdalene Sisters with Jim Jim and Tham on Fri...Lao pok was supposed 2 come but she abandoned us 2 go One Fullerton 4 a chio bu's (Jim Jim's words) dessert bday party... the show was a bit disturbing....it's basically a show abt "repressed nuns" (quoting Tham..hee)... i like it tho...
Then Lao pok came 2 pick us up after the show, as promised...and we went 2 Fong Seng 4 supper...got hm @ abt 430am....
Oh! met up with Su Lene, along with AL, 2 find out how she's doing in DTS...she seems 2 b hving fun... =) can't wait 4 me turn 2 go...hehe... Anyway...Su Lene and i went 4 dinner 2gether @ Westmall...she gotta get a pair of earrings 4 her mum's bday she we went 2 Watt's In...i spotted a pair tt i wanted 2 get but put it back coz it's not wat i'll normally wear...but thot since my hair covers my ears now i can afford 2 wear more elaborate earrings... =) So anyway....she paid 4 her stuff and while we walked outta the shop she passed the earrings tt i wanted 2 get 4 myself 2 me and said "nah...thisis ur early confirmation present"...so sweet rite? =)
Woke up @ 8 2 go 2 wk...can't afford 2 skip wk coz gotta stuff 2 do...then went 4 confirmation retreat and SES...thereafter went 4 dinner with JIm Jim, Tham, Yuen, Steve, Miche, Jud and Lao pok... Lao pok accompanied me 2 HV 2 get my confirmation skirt...yup! managed 2 get 1 last min... i like it! it's flowy and (hopefully) it doesn't make me look fatter than i already am... =)
Was v tired yest lah...so looked a bit moody... after dinner we went 2 Coffee Club 2 chill with Yuen, Lao pok, Tham, Jud and Steve and ate muddy mud pie...was craving 4 ice cream...Hee...think i'm PMSing...
Was contemplating whether 2 go 4 youth 2day... decided 2 go coz thot it'll b interesting 2 hear the stories of the married couples and how Angie is contented being single... guess wat? she had the same fear tt if she were 2 go full-time she'll b unmarried, like most of the female full-time workers in church....the stories were pretty amazing... When P. Ian said we cld go out and b prayed 4 for present and future relationships, my youth cell juz turned and looked at me...so mean rite? Shin Yee even siad that she wants 2 b an aunty soon... sigh... didn't go out 2 b prayed 4 coz didn't feel the urge...heh...
The confirmation svc was really s/thing...so exciting...not as exciting as my baptism tho....confirmation was juz a natural step 2 frm baptism...yah...but it was exciting nevertheless... =)
Thnx 2 all who came 2 support Miche and I!!! Esp 2 the NUS cell! Thnx guys!

Yup! i did it! i finally got down 2 cutting my hair!! it's really liberating coz it's much shorter that it was (took off abt 5 inches) and my hair feels so much lighter! i've had long hair eversince...i dunno... 1998?...yah...and it's the 1st time after 5 yrs that my hair is this short...
I really like it! thnx Moo! =) looks so Jap...haha...
Wonder how everyone will react 2 it...Hee...

Pretty disappointed tt my parents didn't say anything abt my new hairstyle...but who cares?...i really like it!
