God loves me NO MATTER WHAT
It was a tough week of sleeping in those wee hours just to prepare for a 7 minutes the following day. It was really hectic because my goal for my sermon is not to inform people about the Word of God but to TRANSFORM them with the Word of God. I used many acronym name and think of many illustrations and stories to preach my word. Thank God for His wisdom and knowledge with me, not forgetting His strength that leads me forth. God is my ALL. Thank God for being God.
Recently, I mean really RECENTLY. Many people came to me and asked if I am attached. I don't know why, but somehow, somewhat (I think Satan is using people to "fool" me - get behind me satan) one after another just popped by. I never express interest in people (doesn't there isn't anyone who is doing) because I am still on my VOW, which will officially ends on 13 September 2008. God is really great, because as I hold onto Him, He will not let me go, He kept me from even being moved by my feelings when a person before me is willing to give up his all for me. Well you can think I am heartless, I am selfish! I am just being faithful to God.
IF YOU CAN WAIT, YOU WAIT, IF YOU CAN'T, THEN TOO BAD! 76more days!
Today, I missed church because I need to attend the wake/cremation of my uncle (dad's cousin). Life is really unpredictable! Anyway, with God, I am more than a conqueror!
Before I end, I just share a "poem" with you!
The Soul With Sunny Heart
God bless the soul with sunny heart
Who brightens up each day
By spreading seeds of cheerfulness
While traveling on life's way.
God bless him for the stars of hope
He sets in each one's sky;
For the encouragement he gives
That causes folk to try...
With stronger faith to press ahead,
With courage for a mate,
And reach for goals, and build anew,
And smile and challenge fate.
God bless his laughter and his song
That drives dark clouds away
From troubled minds, and paints instead
A rosy-tinted day.
God bless the soul with sunny heart
Who's found in life his place,
And serves his God and fellow man
With humble, gentle grace.
The world has need of such a man
Who lifts the heart from gloom,
And in life's barren places plants
Sweet flowers of love to bloom.
He may serve as some men serve
With fame or high degree...
But his good deeds will ever shine
Throughout eternity.

A happy gal,

Songs that never end
I am sick. After so many days of late nights and waking up in the wee hours for prayer meeting; I'm down. Rather, I think it was a great time for me to catch up on my rest and spending sometime with my family members. I need to be the light that shine for Jesus not just in church to my friends there, yes I will be their support and help, but my main purpose will also be the light that shines for God at home. Something bad happened again, but nevertheless, we are going to overcome it together as a family. I am so proud of my uncle, though it hurts everyone of us to see him in such a pain. We believe that as a family we will stand! -Amen-
I rest practically the entire day, closing my eyes and mediating of all the things that had happened and the many new friends that have had entered into my life. I am really thankful. My little ones are what make me want to go that extra mile for Jesus, LIFE 1, thank you for giving me that chance to lead you all and be there. You all had made a real difference in me, and set my faith into a higher level. Thank you so much and I really hope we can grow together in Christ. :P Love you all always.
To that person who congrats me of having a BF! I may not be very serious in a lot of my life issues, but I never take my vow with God for granted. I know I may had fallen out of it before, but that doesn't mean I will continue to fall. I believe in a God who would allow satan to test my faith, but not to stumble me, but to trust in Him even more. I am still single though I know there maybe a possibilities that I maybe attached, but it will certainly be when I reached 21. Do not worry so much about me, just keep me in prayer and surely and certainly, God's ways are higher than ours! I am waiting upon the Lord for the best He knows fit me!
I am back in school and I saw the young man from far; the young man who wasn't thankful. I saw he was happy, at least there were smile on his face, I thank God that everything was alright. God indeed hears all our prayers. :) Anyway, I was a little quiet today, because I am still sick, look rather pale, but nevertheless, I fight on for school and I never regret. God knows I love words and music, today a new song was sang and it moved my heart deeply.
Every day I live
I know You are my God
I lift my face to look to You my Lord
Even when mountains tremble
And the thousands fall
I will stand with You
My Jesus
Take my all
Wherever God wants me to be, I will place my life as the best sacrifice unto Him. I am going to shine for Jesus, living my life in excellence, be it in the church or the marketplace. Lord, wherever I am, just me to the fullest as only You can.
Love,
d.
I'm so in love with Jesus

I surrender all
This is yet another tough week. There are many things that had happened and made me wondered how is it possible that mere obedience can be rejected by mankind too. I am so sensitive to the Holy Spirit that He woke me up from my nap on Monday to pray for someone who is not even thankful about (not that I want him to be thankful, but you should see his attitude). Well is over!
Life has not been getting any less busy, rather, it seems, as days passes by, my mountain seems higher. (Mountain, where is Chein Sing - I miss him man) I'm moving a step at a chance. Focus is the key to life. Recently, I got myself into such a big trap AGAIN. I wonder why did I allow such things to happen but after all, it just to show how fragile we all are. Regret? Maybe not this time round. As I countdown, the remaining 87 days seems tough but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Knowing you and treating you a little better is my way to express my gratitude towards a friendship and a way for me to "judge" you. Father God, thank You for openning doors and getting more chances and choices to pick on! :P
A song that made me to tears! I love you Jesus.
My Jesus My Lord
You're Love of my life
Wherever you go
Wanna be by Your side
No longer I
But Christ lives in me
Serving You for all eternity
My eyes set on You
In this race that I run
No longer my ways
Let Your will be done
Make me servant
My heart every true
Clinging to the Cross
I'll follow You
I'll follow You
His Glory,
d.

Many things are happening!
Behind all the busy schedule I have, I am in my small little room now. 2 months ago, then reality sink in about the departure of my dear one, I was so devastated. Today, I still miss him, but I know I am coping well in letting go. I miss my uncle not a little less any day. I miss him and how often I wish I can say I really do and have a chance to beside him again. Well, this world doesn't wait for people, things happened without planning and realizing.
Why am I still here when I have so much work to complete, well, simply because I want a place to express my love for my late uncle. I really miss him. Yesterday, was Fathers' day and I was not home to celebrate it with my daddy too, but today, we will spend time together. :) Life is really about moving on, and be contented with what I have, not what I want. There are many things money can't buy and money can't replace. Love is just the classic example.
Counting down to the end of my covenant, I am yet excited and fearful. A new start of my life will soon begin. Relationship is on its way! I will be in love. Promise me you can change my mindset about love and bring me to a place where you will have me a princess! :P -am faithfully waiting-
Work to complete :
1. One report about what I have learnt through the Youth Camp
2. 150 words spiritual report about what Youth Camp has had impacted me
3. Testimony for outreach this Saturday
4. Book review on "How to prepare bible messages"
5. Bible reading
6. 10 sermons outline
7. 1 major report for SOT
8. 3 Audio CDs
miss you,

Thank God for being God
I really want to thank God for being God, for being so real in life. He never come in too early neither will He be late to help me through. I am just so thankful, though it maybe just a small blessing, I am still thankful. Rather I sow to the Kingdom of God. I FELT NOTHING throughout the whole night, but I still trust God for His hands to move in my life. -thanks Nic for praying for me over the MSN-
Today I prepared myself to go for service, I expect something to happen today because I got the glimpse of the Word of the season yesterday. It was indeed a powerful message and I am truly blessed today. While I was queuing up with Daryl to enter the auditorium, a tuition agent called. I have not been working for them ever since my uncle passed away and today they called me. It surprised me. They are offering me to take up this Primary 6 student, teaching ONLY Mathematics (my favorite), twice per week and 1.5hr per session and I got a pay of $260! It was a GREAT DEAL. I was overwhelmed and I could really testify the goodness of God. :)
After service, I was still a little disturbed because I still have no ways how I can go to camp and throughout the whole morning, I was hunting for a ATM machine to withdraw money (remember I gave all that's in my wallet last night) and I can't find one and when I found, they would only allow me to withdraw a sum of $200 minimum. Then Ming Feng came up to me, wanting to get me a book that I mentioned yesterday. I am really thankful and overwhelmed because God is indeed doing mighty works in my life. I am just so happy!
I just want to set aside the remaining entries to thank you for being in my life and bless me. :)
1. Thank God for being God and thank God for providing for me.
2. Thank SOT - Team 15 for being there for me and supporting me through.
3. Thank N318 & N327 - You guys are great.
4. Thank Jasmine for blessings the team.
5. Thank Drew for those Bible Studies books and the Bible
6. Thank Benny for the love offering that you put into my bank account.
7. Thank Ben for those treats and my favourite apple strudel. :)
8. Thank Nic for giving me a book "Foundation of Faith".
9.Thank my family members for being so supportive.
10. Thank you for you!
There are simply too many to make the lists go on, but with sincere gratitude, I really want to thank you. Even from the thoughts of blessings, I am really thankful and I believe with you that as you bless me, God will bless you back more. I am praying for you that as you "invest" in my life, God is going to multiply your territory. Ming Feng, I am really thankful for the thoughts. :)
Thank you,
d.
PS. if you want to bless me, you can let me know yeah! :) =heee= I can share with you those books that I need, or pass you my account number. :) -thanks-

The prize is always better than the price!
I know it has been a long time since I last updated my blog. I am really busy with my school work! I know it maybe an excuse to many, but I am really busy with the assignments and meeting the deadlines. Well, the satisfaction in completing the work is indeed awesome. This week indeed has been a long, tiring week. Tuesday, 3 June 08, was a day to remember my late uncle. He had left this world for 49 days since 16 April 08. It was a tough day for me, fighting not just with my own emotions but with the emotions of my granny. She was devastated when she recalled what had happened. My whole family took leave today and by right, I should too! Well, I stood firm to my faith this day. I did not took leave nor did I came home early that day, but I did spend quality time with my family members when I got home after youth camp meeting. It was a tough time, for me and my family. Till today, I still have no thoughts why such things happened, but I know I serve a sovereign God who has His plans that I can never comprehend. I thank God for the peace within me! The peace of God is found in the peace I have in God.
I had many late nights recently because I was rushing to complete reading "Spirit Filled Believer's Book" and to complete a 1500 words book review. Above all, I still went out to spend time with a friend of mine in SOT who enlisted into the NS on 4 June. Though I was busy, I knew I need to sacrifice a little bit more of my sleep. I chatted with a member of mine and he made me cried through the night, and force me to plead to God to change his mind. I don't know how come I cried like a baby that night, until the Holy Spirit showed me how grieve and disappointed He was in me, when I gone through what my member is going through now. I did what that was not glorifying His name. I cried like a baby. I plead for forgiveness and also I beg for God to change the heart of my friend. -Pray & Fast-
Anyway, today I went for service in Expo. It has been a long time since I been there. It seems that the last time I was there was the last week my cell group was in Expo, before we shift to Jurong West. Honestly, I went to service because it was a requirement for me to attend at least 2 services this week, since there is a guest speaker this weekend. I never expect anything. In anyway and any case, I went. I was challenged during the service. The points that was preached makes me ponder. After the preaching, it was tithe and offering time. I gave all that I have in my wallet and I nearly cried out because it was really PAIN. I cried in my heart but I told God as I build Your house, You will bless me. I gave willingly; though my heart was in tears.
I am a little bit tight recently, after SOT fees, tithe & offering, mission trips and some SOT textbooks, I barely have enough, I thank God I am fasting, so I do not have to use any money. Today, after I gave all that I have, I told God I am leaning on Him. There are still 2 mission trips that is coming, 1 youth camp. I wonder how am I going to find those money to pay, but God I am trusting in You. I am trusting!
So much more to say, but for now, I shall stop here. I will update more really soon. Is time to get back to my work. :) Sorry peeps. I miss all of you and Love you.
God bless,
