Psalm 121 (MSG)

A Pilgrim Song

I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains?

No, my strength comes from God,

who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.

He won't let you stumble,

your Guardian God won't fall asleep.

Not on your life! Israel's

Guardian will never doze or sleep.

God's your Guardian,

right at your side to protect you-

Shielding you from sunstroke,

sheltering you from moonstroke.

God guards you from every evil,

he guards your very life.

He guards you when you leave and when you return,

he guards you now, he guards you always.

Thank you for being my strength and always there.

Always faithful. Never failing.

Jesus Will Still Be There

Things change
Plans fail
You look for love on a grander scale
Storms rise
Hopes fade
And you place your bets on another day
When the going gets tough
When the ride's too rough
When you're just not sure enough

Jesus will still be there
His love will never change
Sure as a steady rain
Jesus will still be there
When no one else is true
He'll still be loving you
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer
Jesus will still be there

Time flies
Hearts turn
A little bit wiser from lessons learned
But sometimes
Weakness wins
And you lose your foothold once again
When the going gets tough
When the ride's too rough
When you're just not sure enough...
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer
Jesus will still be there

Beyond Word: Its the end or just the beginning?

2011-03-21T00:01:00.015+08:00

*Phew~~*

Well, what can i say? it's finally over? or its just the beginning? hahah..

anyway, the start of the year was awesome! Why?

Sometime back, when i just made a really tough decision to move on to Minops,

i had some questions and uncertainties in my mind.. of cuz, with all the emotional attachment and "bu she de" feelings and all~ :'(

So all i could do was to ask God to lead me and reveal to me on how He can use me and how can I serve Him here and impact lives too~

God is faithful and i guess He showed me bit by bit and guided me so much through the series of events started in End Jan..

Firstly, Love Me-ter

I thank God to be able to be part of this production as it grew me in many many ways..

Also, through this ESS, we're able to invite sec one Deyians through a job lobang

to Love Me-ter and guess what? They cross the line of Faith and were touched by God!! God is good!

Last but not the least, Dance Competitions.

Okay.. this is the event that has the most weight-age.

It all started in a Ydance DMM @ Jiali's house, when she asked whether any of us wanted to participate in Dance Fiesta 2011 cuz it was a small comp and good opp for exp!

Along the way, Jacq also requested us to join Stage Without Borders.

So after discussing, everyone agreed that the Bboy/Popping grp is the most ready.

Then i had a discussion with them after a Ydance meet and asked for their commitment for whoever is interested~and there you have it..

Justin, Guowei, Desmond, JianHao, Joshua, Nigel, LieHao and myself

8 noob hunks with limited dance techniques and has no exp in comps or whatsoever, joining the comps in the name of Hope Church/Ydance.

So along the way, many of us had some tough times juggling with our responsibilities-pastoral ministries, sch projs, etc..

and even our dear friend Nigel had to be out of this comp due to some commitment issues...

However, things get tough along the way..haha

As we prepared for the Prelims, we gave all we had and throw out whatever good ideas we all had to put up a good show..

we just wanted to had fun n exp what a comp felt like..

so we met EVERYDAY 6pm for the week! HAHA!

I can still rmb us overnighting at the airport to finish our choreo!

Our prelims piece wasnt that clean/fantastic but satisfyable to us..

GOd even helped us with the timing and sync of certain steps as well! HAHA!

And guess what? We got through to the semi-finals! God is good!!

ANd so, we prac doubly hard, meeting EVERYDAY @ 6 in the comp week!

We gave all we had, throwing our best moves and ideas for it!

Just like giving God our 2 copper coin and that 5 loaves and 2 fishes :)

We concluded that it was God's grace that brought us through and decided to treat the semi-finals as our FINALS! haha!

Then came the semi-finals @ St James. There were lots of good competitors such as, Flair Bros, Emerge Crew, Fantastic Forze Crew, etc... but we didn't want to let them hinder our dance cuz ultimately, we didn't join this to win..

But guess what? We made it to the FINALS!! God is good!!

It was really God's grace that brought us through again!

We worked hard and brought out our best to the FINALS.

We didn't win though but thats okay cuz our objectives were met :)

But then came the interesting thing, when we were waiting for our Dance Fiesta Finals to be ready, Guowei wanted to go Vivo to take a bite and so we went with him.

Just outside St.James, we saw a group of people giving out flyers and we took it.

We were surprise to see that it was another (Step Upward) Dance Competition held @ Hougang Sec, organized by Punggol South CC! Registration fee $50, Prize money $500!

It definitely seemed like a lower level comp than DF.

So Desmond inquired about the comp and we found out that there were only 3 crews joining-which means we can definitely win a prize! And the Reg fee cut down to $25! Why would we give such a good opp a miss?

So right after hearing the results of DF, we grab some food and left for Hougang straight! (though some of us were tired and didn't really felt like dancing alrdy...prob cuz no motivation and knowing there's still SWB the next day haha)

The comp was in a school hall in Hougang Sec.. they made it look like some sorta club, with loud music and lotsa lightings!

They even have drinks and snacks outside haha..FREE!

We arrived kinda late and yet they still waited for us.. i guess they really need people to join haha.

The interesting thing also is that we saw Funk It Up there!

I realised that they registered earlier already and we just came on the spot!

It's interesting to see a DF finalist there as well as we didn't expect any strong competitors there!

Like out of so many..............why...a DF finalist? and moreover, at hougang??!!! haha...

i can't think of any reason to figure that out..

We all gave our best for the comp and guess what.......?

We won 1st prize!!! a Trophy and $500!! God is good!!

(and we didnt even need to pay for reg fee!)

I was thinking that Funk It Up's gonna hate us cuz they could have gotten first place if we didnt turn up :p

But we still encouraged each other after everything!

As we were about to leave, there's was an open cypher!

We all just got out in the circle and did our thing!

Not only that, they also had a dance battle!

So we had a chance to had a friendly battle against some of the other competitors!

We all really had fun and it was a good exp and exposure for us all!

After the whole day of dance event, I was really amazed by how God actually gave us that opp to meet those people outside St.James. It was so...divine. God didnt just honour our hardwork with that $500, He also gave us an opp to battle and cypher tgt thru that event!!

I'm still awed by that as well!

It's like going to a jam with your crew and cyphering and battling and doing what we love tgt..moreover, representing Ydance and the BIG J!

Whoo.............................awed...

Then the next day(SUNDAY), we had SWB performance @ Wisma Atria.

Then again, we saw Fantastic Forze crew and some other DF peeps.. and had that same feeling we had at Hougang Sec.

But then we were told that this isn't a competiton no more but a performance.. haha!

it was good still, cuz we represent in the name of Hope Church and even had a media coverage through an interview! haha..

So after thinking back, if we didn't go for Step Upward Comp, we wouldn't have that $500 and all... of cuz its not all for the money but i tot that it was good that we win something so as to have a credibility in the dance scene, and ppl knowing that we are from Hope! Would be easier to share the love of dancing in a different point of view and about Jesus' love!

In conclusion, this whole period was an adventure....a great one.

Saw how God use me and gave me opp to serve Him thru this specialized ministry.

I did the best i could.. but I don't know how to describe in details...

But i know that God is God and we are not.. His ways are surely higher than ours..

It was evident how He lead us through the whole dance thingy since Day 1!

We really wanna do our best to honour and glorify God to the best we can through these competitions! And i guess, God use us and open doors for us when He closes one.

I'm so thankful as well cuz this also bonded the r/s btwn us soooo much!

We saw how each other struggle, grow in discipline, priority management, character moulding, etc..

I can't help but to thank God how HE did it and moved in ways that i can't see/imagine..

(Awed again......>.<)

*Exhales~~~* haha... there's just so much to think and thank God..

M looking forward to our retreat+farewell tgt w the bros!

its gonna be an awesome time!! really awesome i guarantee!

It's the journey that makes the arrival of a destination or the end memorable :) *Salutes*

ODC!! Woots!

God will make a way when there seems to be no way..

He works in ways we cannot see..

God is good all the time..

I stand in awe of You...

An extract from Lincoln Brewster's Real Life
which i felt it made lots of sense and spoke to me :)

"When I'm old and turning grey
And my boys have moved away
When it's time for me to say goodbye
I hope I leave a legacy
I hope that God is proud of me
I hope that I leave something good behind

And all my yesterdays are flashing right before my eyes
And I'm standing in God's presence when I finally realize

This is real life
This is real good
It's a place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood
And there'll be no pain
And there'll be no tears
'Cause the way my Father loves me makes me grateful I am here"

Only 1 life, live it for Him.

2010-10-04T17:14:00.003+08:00

Whom Shall I Fear

Lincoln Brewster
Mia Fields

Because I know You live
I'll put my faith in this
That You hear my call
Lord You hear me calling
Because I know You live
I'll set my heart on this
You won't let me fall
When all else is falling

When all You are is glorious Oh God
Victorious and strong
Whom shall I fear
When all You are is powerful and true
And good in all You do
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear

Because You're on my side
I won't believe the lie
That I'm all alone
I'm not all alone here
Because You live in me
My heart will still believe
That You came to save
And You'll come to save me

I know You're with me in the fire
You never leave me in the flame
I know Your thoughts are so much higher
And all Your ways are not my ways

You are for me
You came to save me
You will never let me go
In my heart I'll always know
I know that You are for me
I know that You are for me
I know that that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that You have come now even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who You

Learnings from Noah's Ark

One: Don't miss the boat.

Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six: Build your future on high ground.

Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.

Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

Twelve: Thank God for his love and grace which will be sufficient for you...

Because He lives, I know He holds the future
Life is worth a living just because He lives.

2 Cor 3:3 (MSG)

Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you. Christ himself wrote it—not with ink, but with God's living Spirit; not chiseled into stone, but carved into human lives—and we publish it.

Awesome movie~
Believe, in spite of all obstacles.
Hope is contagious..
God is a God of Hope and He listens to all prayers.
Yeah, what can be so difficult for God?
If GOD is for us, who/what can be against us?

I'm so glad a found a God that i can depend on in good/bad times,
a friend that accepts, and a Father who loves and takes care.

Xueting's Honey Star satay!:)

But before everything, at the start of the day,
went to watch the long awaited TOY STORY 3!

It was an awesome movie with much values to learn.

Friendship and teamwork are brought across to me
through the show.

Both these elements are essential in building God's kingdom as well.

I love Woody's spirit.
Someone who never gives up on his friends(or even his enemies)

We gotta have that spirit.

Luke 6:27-31 (The Message)

^27-30"To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.

^31-34"Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them!

Desserts For Thoughts

“We may talk about Alexander the Great, Charles the Great and Napoleon the Great, but not Jesus the Great. He is not the Great–he is the only. There is nobody like him. He has no rival and no successor.” – John Stott, The Radical Disciple: Some Neglected Aspects of Our Calling (InterVarsity Press, 2010)

“Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.” – Billy Graham

“It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God. But if once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ, the memory of what God wants will always come like a goad; you will no longer be able to work for Him on the common-sense basis.” Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Yes. We gotta serve God with a vision.
Without Vision, Man perish.
If we don't know God's heartbeat, we can never fulfill His will.
What is God's will? Did you ever ask God what is His heartbeat for the world?Your Sch?Family?
We need to be burden by that.

Hope Conference is approaching.
Intentional Disicipleship 2010.

Are we ready to hear from God and EXPECT a life changing touch from Him?
We need that.

Friends in High Places
Hillsong Australia

I was in need
I needed a friend
I was alone
I needed a hand
I was going down
But someone rescued me
My God cares too much to say
His mercies are new every day
I get down to pray
And then help is on it's way
I walk by faith
And not by sight
If things go wrong
It'll be alright
'Cause someone greater is watching over me
My God cares too much to say
His mercies are new every day
I get down to pray
And then help is on it's way
Now in faith I believe
That I've got everything I need
I walk by faith and not by what I see
I've got friends in high places
I've got someone I can call
I've got someone watching over me

This song is rather old school...but one of my favs!

Food for Thought

“Have you ever asked God for something and didn’t expect to get it? That’s why you didn’t get it. God works in our lives according to faith. So many times we say, ‘God, please guide me!’ and we walk away not even waiting for guidance. We just immediately start to work. We say, ‘God, I want you to give me wisdom, help me make the right decision.’ But we don’t really expect Him to do that. We think it all depends on us.” Rick Warren
(It's so true..and it happens to us subconsciously at times. EXPECT IT!)

Had a great time w my beloved pals today @ Far East!

**Interestingly,after i send them off and was walking to the MRT station,
this guy approached me to share abt some "Christian" stuffs..
I thought it was some normal stuffs which i always hear ard..
but this time it was sth new.

He shared about a Heavenly Family and this "Spiritual Mother" that
exist, which mentioned "bride" in Revelations. And Jesus having a "new" name.

It was interesting so i decided to listen more.
Found out lots of stuffs that he showed me and we had an
almost 30mins++ or more of sharing/"Debate" on the street.

It felt weird and it doesn't confirms with what the bible really says.

Decided to research more as well..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Mission_Society_Church_of_God
http://www.apologeticsindex.org/659-world-mission-society-church-of-god
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_claim_to_be_Jesus_Christ
(The person's name is inside too..So how can we worship a person?)
http://bible.org/seriespage/eternal-state-rev-211-225

The General, Overall Description (9-11)

As a Bride, the Wife of the Lamb (9-10)

“And one of the seven angels …” (vs. 9). As this verse shows, this angel’s ministry was one of severe judgment, a judgment which from our standpoint is still future, but here his ministry is one revealing doctrinal truth to John, a much more enjoyable task.

“The bride, the wife of the Lamb” is a description, as verse 10 shows us, of the new Jerusalem which is again seen coming down out of heaven from God. Why is the new Jerusalem called the bride, the wife of the Lamb? In verse 2 we are told the city was “made ready as a bride adorned for her husband,” but here new Jerusalem is called the bride. There are at least two reasons for this: the first is seen, as suggested in verse 2, in the beautiful analogy of the figure of a bride. Though dealing with the church and her responsibility in witnessing Joseph Aldrich has nicely captured the picture. He says:

Ideally, a bride is the epitome of all that is right and beautiful. She is a symbol of purity, hope, purpose, trust, love, beauty, and wholeness in a world pock-marked with ugliness. The bride motif, found in both testaments, is used by God to illustrate His strategy for attracting mankind to the availability of his life changing grace.²⁴⁵

So God calls new Jerusalem the bride, the wife of the Lamb, because as (a) the Lord is making his bride, the church, spotless and pure (Eph. 5:26-27), so he will make beautiful the new Jerusalem, (b) as marriage is permanent, so will be the new city, and (c) as a bride is beautiful and gloriously adorned, so will be the new city.

Second, though the new Jerusalem will eventually be the home of all the redeemed, it will first be the home of the church, the bride of Christ, who will also be on display during the Millennium, the marriage feast. Remember, this is the home that He is preparing for us (John 14:2-3).

(Describes what the bride means, not a Heavenly Mother.)

(Found out that there are similar incidents to others)

In the bible, it says clearly that Jesus is the way to salvation [John 3:16,John 14:6]
His death on the cross and resurrection paid it all.
It was Grace that save us, not the works/rituals.
2nd coming of Christ [1 Thess 4:15-17, Acts 1:6-12]
Signs of End Age[Mark 13:1-30]

Intrigued by it..
lots of thoughts on it.
We Should know our "stuffs" well so that we won't get caught off guard.
Reading more helps.
Am checking out more too man.

Again, while waiting for MRT, i was approached by another uncle
who sat beside me..
and randomly asked about what am i doing now and talked to
me abt Gambling.. haha. Weird.

I was kinda amused by 1 encounter after another..
i was expecting another though.. but nothing. haha.

Random doodles~

Saw this interesting animation..haha.
Kinda hilarious though.
But we can learn sth from it.. esp during the peak moment of this clip.
Never let a moment of defeat, failure or discouragement get hold of you.
It will turn your whole life into a mess.
Moreover, Christians are victorious.
God simply loves us for who we are,
not what we do or have done.
This race is too short for us to dwell in discouragements, instead
go back on track with God, cuz He's waiting there.

Cousin's Wedding at Asian Civilisation Museum was cool~

Matthew 28:18-20 (New International Version)

¹⁸Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

What does this mean to you after today?

How far are we going to obey this command?

Be a disciple.

Be a disciple-maker.

CID had a Lunar New Year event!

WE had Lion and Dragon Dance

All in all, had an awesome time with my friends there.

Finally, watched The Lightning Thief with QK today~
haha it is a dope show!
It just cost $4.50!!
Really enjoyed it haha.
Thanks QK for the B'day 1 for 1!

===

Often times, we tend to place our security in many
things we do, possess, achieve, etc.
God reminded me abt when its all stripped away from me, that is who i really am.
That is WHO God sees me as, not by the things i have/achieved..
Ultimately, We are a child of God. Period.
Our value in God's eyes isn't based on all these "things" i have.

Romans 9:19-23 (The Message)

¹⁹Are you going to object, "So how can God blame us for anything since he's in charge of everything? If the big decisions are already made, what say do we have in it?"

^20-33Who in the world do you think you are to second-guess God? Do you for one moment suppose any of us knows enough to call God into question? Clay doesn't talk back to the fingers that mold it, saying, "Why did you shape me like this?" Isn't it obvious that a potter has a perfect right to shape one lump of clay into a vase for holding flowers and another into a pot for cooking beans? If God needs one style of pottery especially designed to show his angry displeasure and another style carefully crafted to show his glorious goodness, isn't that all right?

Thank God for the daily bread he has given :)

We don't just thank God during a prayer of grace

==============

Uniquely You

An elderly woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.

'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.'

The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?'

'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.'

For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

Each note does not make a symphony,
There will be no melody.

Everyone goes through transitions.

It brings up many emotions in a person-
sadness, excitement, confusion, joy, so on and so forth..

Changes are scary, but sometimes, they bring about the greatest
growth.
Changes also bring about the true colours in a person.

Ultimately, when we go through transitions, we gotta
remember to keep the MAIN thing the MAIN thing.
Hold on to the foundations.
Work on them.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Oh.. i ended the year by cycling 5-6hrs with awesome friends!
All the way from ECP to Changi Village!
A Breakthrough for myself..considering
that its only my 2nd time officially able to cycle!
I'm still kinda unstable though..

It was really fun and adventurous man!

Thanks to all those who gave me moral support
and showed your concern! HAHA!

2010

New Year, New Growth, New Expectations...

There's gonna be so much "NEW" this year..
However, i would love to substitute it with "GREATER"
Greater Year, Greater Growth, Greater Expectations,
Greater Miracles, Greater Faith, Greater Testimonies.... and so on.

Yes, we do not know what is coming in our way in 2010, but i know that
God is going through this year with us and i want to go through it
together with Him.

Verses from 3 songs that shares my heart & prayer
for 2010.

"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because He lives, i know He holds the future.
Life is worth a living just because He lives."

"I want to walk to with You everyday of my life,
To talk with you in the good and the strife.
You're my Friend, You're my Father, for all time.
Nothing can keep us apart, You're the lover of my Heart."

"And We will say that You are good,
for all the miracles You've done has brought us Joy,
For we are changed, and all the hope we have we place
in You right now.."

==

a CROSS GENERATION.

Lord, Have it Your Way.

Random photos with the peeps today~
Our Kbox plan ended up as a chill out session.. haha..
(Unfortunately, Hazel, Xueli and Leez couldn't join us!
You'll recover in no time, Leez!^^)

Found out something cool too!

Once Upon A Milk Shake
Live happily ever after.

It's a classy cafe which sells quality ice-cream and milkshakes,etc..

Below's the milkshake menu..
It looks really interesting.
We tried a bit of everything. haha

This is the Spooky Mocha! Superb! :p
Looks kinda huge here ya?
This is actually the "mini" size which cost $3.30
The "up-size" cost around $5 i think.

These 2 guys are apparently very amused by the "taken" block.

Anyways, there's WeiLing around in the corner too...
Just that Angela covered her.. haha.

See the joyful smiles on their faces.. haha.
The milkshake rocks!

Enjoyed the chill out very much too.

Are you ready for 2010?

2009-12-26T21:55:00.003+08:00

"Let there be light..."

Wah.. thank God!!

The lights and electricity is back!

The past 2 days was really an amazing adventure in my own house..
having to live in the dark with just candles... period.

Living in the dark really isn't a nice feeling. haha

Imagine having ur electricity cut during Christmas..^^

Sleeping and bathing was really ___________. haha

It has been a long time since such situation happened.

haha, but i guess it create memorable moments for my family and i.

Nevertheless, Thank God for those who helped in getting the current back.

==============

At The Door was Awesome!

The drama was superb..
Amazing lives that are transformed by GOd.

Really glad to see all the lives being saved as well!!

Nothing beats sharing the joy of seeing people crossing the line of faith!

Had a good time catching up with my ITE friends too!
Really hope that the Christmas svc left a seed in their hearts!

Thanks for coming dudes!

Thank God for all your hardwork for White Christmas and At the Door!
I'm sure we all enjoyed the fruits of our labour!

Thank all of YOU for the Christmas cards and gifts as well!
I realllllyyyyy appreciate all of them.
It matters alot! haha.
Every year, these are my treasures. haha
Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS, once again! :)

The greatest miracle and evidence that God is real
are transformed lives.

2009-12-20T02:24:00.006+08:00

"Give us this day our daily bread..."

haha Thank God for FOOD!

Ooh, and check this guitar out..
My Dad's cousin gave it to him!

Its a Ibanez Semi-Acoustic guitar!

Wah.. its really cool and nice to play man!

Thank God for the blessings~!

=============

Caught 2 movies power movies that i wanted to recently
that is worth the watch.

Bodyguards & Assassins

The road to revolution is paved with blood and sacrifice.
In order to see a change, sacrifices must be made.
In the show, you get to see how these bodyguards
gave up their lives just to see the future of CHINA change for the better.
The people are really soo loyal and willing to protect their
country.. even when they did not know who they are protecting.
All they wanted was the BEST for China;They all had a cause to fight for.
The bodyguards really went ALL THE WAY.

Similarly, this is the way we should lay down our lives for the KOG.
We know who we are fighting for and we know what we are
fighting for.
Matt 28:18-20
Anyways, we already have the victory :)

AVATAR

Oh caught this with my LGLs today!
It was stunning! The graphics is Awesome!
You get to see how selfish the humans actually are, when they
wanna get things done their way-neglecting lives,feelings,relationships,homes,etc..

I like the part when Jake Scully stood up and challenged
The Na'vi to stand strong and fight on...

In times of defeat/chaos, there always need to be tht someone
to spur and bring hope to the people.
God is tht HOPE for all of us.
Similarly, God has chosen us to be tht HOPE to others.
Do you bring HOPE to ur people and lead them to victory?

I shalln't add on.. else i'll be the spoiler. hehe.

GREAT MOVIES!
======================

Thank God for all our effort in today's "Who Killed Christmas?"!
Jillene Acted well too!
We saw 4 Salvations!
Praise God!

Are you ready for Christmas?
Let's give God a BIG SMILE by giving our BEST
in bringing frens/family to Jesus, amen?

BREAK

This camp certainly has impacted many of us.
And i hope that we will NOT go thru this camp,
WITHOUT allowing God to Break your heart
and do a life Transformation.

Whatever we've responded and learnt,
Let's Apply them.

If we're SERIOUS in this, God'll surely put us to the test.
And He does it Cuz HE BELIEVES that We can OVERCOME it.

With my heart of hearts, i really believe each of YOU
are that NEXT Generation to make a difference in your lifetime.

God chose YOU for His purpose.
Are you willingly to lay down your life to
BE THE NEXT GENERATION?

I'm so excited for it!

Philippians 3:12-14 (New International Version)

Pressing on Toward the Goal

¹²Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. ¹³Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, ¹⁴I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

2009-12-07T01:15:00.003+08:00

Awesome food!

Teppan Curry Chicken with Rice and Egg!
Wah, we ate this superb meal
@ Harbour Front Centre's Food Junction!

There's a promotion and it just cost $3.80! ^^

Its been sooo long since i stepped into Sentosa!
Finally got a chance to head there!

We had a great time with the games and sandy and "underwater" exp
and more!

Here are some photos!

Ooh, compare and contrast the skin colours!
Can you guess whose arms are these? ^^

Sorry, the video's a bit shaky cuz of the moving tram.

A GOOD KING RULES BY PROTECTING.

God is like a King who protects us at ALL TIMES.

He protects the weak and the needy.

He protects those who stand up for His name's sake.

He protects His people from the Devil's snare.

God loves us and protects us because we are HIS.

Do you seek God for protection and pray
for others for God's protection to be upon them?

Thank God for LIZHEN and her team
for their sacrificial spirit and effort in this
whole event!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

“Our task is to bring God back into the world, into our lives. To worship is to expand the presence of God in the world.” – Abraham Joshua Heschel

“Fear grows in darkness; if you think there’s a bogeyman around, turn on the light.” – Dorothy Thompson

“Never waste energy trying to be well-known. Today’s hero is tomorrow’s zero. Work on character and leave your reputation to God.” – Rick Warren

Happy 25th Birthday Shpd!

Had an awesome time celebrating Daniel's Bday-
taught him lots of stuffs on how to date^^
like fine dining, bboying^^, and "wine" tasting! :)

Haha, winnie always has all these wonderful ideas on bday
celebrations!!!

Yup, im sure Daniel became a MAN, ready to woo a girl
anytime.. God bless!

========================

I love these pictures
cuz it always reminds me of God's unconditional love for me

I know God is holding my hand everyday,
that's why we should never walk AHEAD of Him, nor BEHIND Him,
but BESIDE Him.

Sometimes, with my carnal nature, its just hard to
understand God's grace and unconditional love
for me..

"You mean, after how sinful i am and what i've done/thought/say/etc..,
God, You still love me? "

The answer is.. Yes. Period.

Where else can i ever find a Friend that LOVES like this?

All the more we cant take this gift for granted.

Does Our lives shows the reflection of God's love in Us?

That is why, this whole deal abt Christianity,
is abt our relationship with God.

**Once its right, everything else will fall in place correctly.**

It is just above the rest of what we are doing.

Keep the main thing the main thing.

Thank you Lord.

Love God, Love People.

=================

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,14-15

There's a Right Time for Everything

¹ There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth:

^2-8 A right time for birth and another for death,
A right time to plant and another to reap,
A right time to kill and another to heal,
A right time to destroy and another to construct,
A right time to cry and another to laugh,
A right time to lament and another to cheer,
A right time to make love and another to abstain,
A right time to embrace and another to part,
A right time to search and another to count your losses,
A right time to hold on and another to let go,
A right time to rip out and another to mend,
A right time to shut up and another to speak up,
A right time to love and another to hate,
A right time to wage war and another to make peace.

¹⁴ I've also concluded that whatever God does, that's the way it's going to be, always. No addition, no subtraction. God's done it and that's it. That's so we'll quit asking questions and simply worship in holy fear.
¹⁵ Whatever was, is.
Whatever will be, is.
That's how it always is with God.

Be prepared in season and out of season.

Are we flowing with God's direction?

REFLECTIONS

This diagram is something that i drew
and it kept me thinking and redefining my priorities.

At times, when we take time to just pen down our
priorities/to-do list, we realise tht there's
sooooo many things we are handling or even balancing.

And these are not bad things, in fact, they are GOOD things-
Things that can glorify God soo much more as well!

The diagram keeps me reminded that everything i do,
i gotta do it for Him.
Because our life revolves around Christ, in the centre.
WE are first a christian, before anything else.
So as we do these things, we have a strong backup that provides
us with strength and comfort and everything!

Cuz when we said the sinner's prayer, we've surrendered
our lifes to our Lord and King, Friend and Saviour.
This allows us to know that this life is not ours, its His.
The Lord takes and the Lord gives.
He knows BEST for us.

i remembered someone once said
"BUSY=Being Under Satan's Yoke"

haha... it can be true at times
when we keep saying tht we are busy-
too busy to spend time with God.

Our ultimate goal in life is not to balance out our priorities
but to be like Jesus.

To please the Audience of One.

Get this and get it right.

Colossians 3:23-24 (New International Version)

²³Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, ²⁴since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

===========
Lord, keep reminding me of Your word.
My life is like a vapour.
Use it as You please, please.

2009-10-24T02:31:00.002+08:00

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
========

Do we find ourselves looking like thrash spiritually?
God doesnt create thrash..
He Creates GOOD works.

Let this video enlighten you.

Lord, help me to be more like you..
I need your chisel,
not the voices of the world.
