God just works in wonder
After a long day yesterday, it seems a little tough to wake up this morning. Nevertheless, I woke up early to pray before I head out for my ministry gathering. I just love my mornings with God because those were the times I knew I am a NEW CREATION, the OLD HAS PAST! "Every NEW day, Your glory unfold, Filling my eyes, with Your treasures untold, the BEAUTY of HOLINESS bring worship anew, I simply LIVE FOR YOU!"
Today, my prayer is so different. I prayed for myself, seeing myself doing well in my ministry (maybe because I am doing a lot for today; with a heart to serve, you will know God will give you MANY opportunities) and believing in God for a greater breakthrough. =] As I met up with other PlayGroup teachers, I am so amazed by how God put all of us, so different into a place to just serve and love Him. We had great time EATING and talking. It is really a great time for me to meet some of the other teachers. =]
Then we head on for service! Praise God that we hit 30 children today. Like I mentioned, God works best when He wants to "test" us. We only have had 3 teachers today and we have 30 children (average kids - 20-24). It was really challenging but I am really thankful that by the grace of God, we managed to serve the children the best we can. It is truly amazing to think back now! I had my FIRST time doing Art and Craft and singing Goodbye and SECOND time doing Music and Movement. I really enjoyed myself and forgotten who I am when I was there enjoying with them. =]
As a teacher, we often believe we need to impart the values to the students, but so many a time, I realized that as I teach, my "teacher" is teaching me too. The Holy Spirit always reminds me that as I teach, I learn more. It is more than giving, I am receiving too. How true it is when the bible says, blessed is he who gives than receive. =] Today, we taught them about Patience! I tell you, I was NEVER so hit into my heart about this until today. It was just like it is telling me, "Trust in God's timing". Well, well! I will huh!
Serving in playgroup has not been so overwhelming until today, when I sat my foot to take-charge of every details in the service. I am just excited about doing more and trying more in this area of my life. =] On my way home today, I have been thinking what I have had taught. A strong conviction took over me. A strong sense of feeling grasp me and I believe this is not going to be for a while.
I felt the Lord said to me "don't walk ahead of me, stay beside me and I will lead you." My fear of not marrying at the age of 24 left me INSTANTLY! The journey from MRT to home was wide smile and a strong assurance. Gosh! I can't believe it but yet this is so real from the Lord. =]
Thank you Jesus

No room for regrets
In life we fight for the best, we do the best we know how. In life we just try our high and low to achieve somethings. In life, we enjoy the maximum we can. That's life! We are selfish creatures to just want the best for ourselves and maybe a room to fight for our love ones! That's life! So enjoy and do the best you can and live with no regrets!
I could have so much time now, but the fact is with those free time, what am I doing? I find myself enjoying and certainly spending time with my sweethearts. I have had lots of quality time with them and of course get to know a little bit more about each and everyone of them and the struggles they have in life. (my passion =])
I really don't wanna live in regret, not now or even ever. I just want to know I have had taken the best of today to the fullest I can. Thank you pals for making my daily so happening. =] You all rocks. [daphne had watched 2 movies in 2 days! that's a miracle]
I just found out my last few posts are super random.. I don't know what I am saying too.
*I guess people changed not because they have lost their identity but to make and want to allow themselves to be a better person. =] I think I have changed a lot through this period of time, I have learn not to be dependent to situations, but always ready in every problems. Life is no longer the same, if we are forever where we are, we will sure lose out in life. It will be great if we stop thinking the whole world evolves around me, but rather is we evolve in the world! The world will NEVER stop just because you stopped.*
continue to do it

Wonderful Time Together
After Bible School, I have learn and enjoy my time spend alone with God. I will force myself to set aside an hour in the morning and at night before I sleep with God. There are times when that one hour seems drag, but most of the time, that hour seems pretty short. Anyway, I really love those time when I am with God. No matter how busy or tired I am, I will just do it. I did not do it out of duty that I ought to obey my leader to set an hour aside to pray, but it has now become my joy in doing. Spending time with God is something special, a feeling so different. In any mood and feelings of life, when I enter into the presence of God, I know there's a peace, there's a love that kept flowing. I will often find myself smiling after my prayer. =]
It was until yesterday when I was praying before I head on to my bed. I thank the Lord for the day and like always, I pray for those same situation that's in my life. Then I felt the Lord spoke to me, "My dear, why have you been praying the same thing for so long, haven't I promise you about the situation in life?" I got shocked, why did my God "felt tired" about my prayer, but when the Holy Spirit alerts me, it was not that God is tired, but it is me who have yet believe in God for a miracle and breakthrough. I was remorseful. I felt bad within me, because it that moment, I asked myself how come I can't trust God for a better tomorrow.
I asked the Lord how can I trust Him and His reply was, "Just do what you think you should and I will help you through." It was that sentence that came to me that I know I ought not to live in regret! God is a God who knows the future, He is a God who has the answer for everything. He knows my life, every single detail is in His plan.
As I reflect yesterday and with the conversion I have had with some of the people whom I trust, I came to a decision. I will go and find out the answer and accept the answer. I know even if it is not what I want to hear, I will still want to know, so that I do not guess with my own thinking and make me live in a miserable life. (hahaha)
*I don't know why, within myself I have had a set of answers already! I really have no fear and no pain to know the good answer or even the bad one! I just want to know so that I won't live in regret. Blessed are those who indeed trust in the Lord with all their steps! *
Till then,

Love is what you want it to be!
I have been thinking a lot recently, about all the actions I should be taking or I shouldn't. I was a little lost to what I want, and how I am ready to fight for everything just not to live in regret, yet I fear about what's the outcome from his point of view. I don't wish to be a burden anymore, neither do I want to be a pain in his life. I guess I ought to carry the cross everyday to just remind myself, the days ahead are sure to be brighter! There are so many thoughts that ran through, especially those that "dare" me to try again. I know I have been withheld to do what I can, because of my fears! I don't want to spoil everything.Love is fighting for what you want to the extend of no regrets.
love,

My Chinese "Boring" New Year
Gong Xi Gong Xi to everyone.
"Xin Nian Kuai Le" seems to be the popular sentence during Chinese New Year but this year, it seems that I only get the chance to say a few times. Simply because on the first day I was HOME the whole day due to chinese belief that if someone in your family passed away, the first year of his/her "departure", the family can't "bai nian" of which where I have to "obey". Well, I am home; nearing bored to death if there aren't books for me!
Knowing me, if I have "plenty" of times, beside doing what I love; reading, online or even writing, I will find myself THINKING. Many things ran through my mind of the First Day of Lunar New Year. First thing was "Why did I quit my job when I know the whole is in such a downtown!", "Would I believe that there will be a better job out there for me?" Anyway, I really have no fear or worries, cause there's a peace within my heart that guards all understanding! Such thoughts don't last long within me. =]
But a thought has been with me for very long. No matter how tough I thought I could, it never seems to be apprehensive well! I know what I want and I have been acting on what I want to make me overcome it, but everyday seems a little more difficult than the day before. Why was it so, how could it be? Yet above all, one thing I am thankful is that I am no longer being dealt with emotions, I have a better control over my emotions now! I just believe in times to come, I will be more than a conqueror. Now as I look back, there are no more tears to fight for, no more pain to heal, just an unwilling heart to let go where I know time will solve it through.
Many have had asked me how could I simply forgive when all seems so wrong. All I could reply was not "God help me!" rather I said, "I chose this way." I have had chosen forgiveness, not because it was easy, but because I do not wish to live in regret and certainly I know I am capable to forgive. I used to mention I "hate" this person(my dad in particular), but as I grow up and learn in life, well, the fact is I don't hate them at all, I HATE their ACTIONS. With this fact and knowledge, God and time became the healer of my heart. Today I look upon them, loving them as who they are because many of the actions I can remember NO MORE. =]
Someone mentioned to me, fight for what I want, and all I reply is, I will but how long would the battle be, I don't know. I am doing what I can, the best I know how and then move on in this area. Most important thing to me now is not about achieving the ultimate result, which is relationship or even courtship but leaving no regrets in life as you allow each day and moments to pass you by.
Anyway, this Chinese New Year I watched "The Wedding Game" and "Love Matters". Well, both are not as fanastic as I thought it to be and the words used are "gosh". The storyline is not as great too, but surely there's something for you to catch as you watch the shows! =] Woman are meant to be dote and love, and true relationship are not based on communications (though it is important) but also the time spend, the feelings one invested. Above all, mutual respest and honesty are what's important here. =]
I love You =]

Happy Lunar New Year
One thing has always been gone too far fast and that's time! Looking back, how has your "rat" year passed you by and how are you going to welcome the "niu" year! I am excited about Lunar New Year because I get to eat pineapple tarts. This is my favorite, the best of the best! Other than that, I don't really like Lunar New Year, or maybe I should say, I don't see Lunar New Year any special; except for this year, the LONG WEEKEND. =]
Yesterday, I went to serve in Children Church. I was so happy. I just love the little ones for they are and will always be my sunshine. You can never expect the joy when they choose to stick to you to love you, to hold you, to hug you, to ask you to carry them, and to kiss you. They are my life, my joy and my oil from God to carry on every week! =] Not forgetting the teachers whom work hand in hand, as we learn every week from the children, to meet their needs and to serve God with a greater capacity of love and servanthood.
I have had dinner with my ministry friends and we indeed have a great time together. It just opens my eyes to understand what it is to feel and understand fellowship. Fellowship is about time shared together, life obstacles that one has gone through and praise God together, eat together and surely pray together. Such fellowships are priceless. =] I went home with one of the leader and as I shared a bit with her about my life, I am so enlighten! I am so thankful for leaders above with great wisdom and knowledge. "Seek and choose to put God first and everything will be fall into place one of this day."
How true this sentence is. If God can do so by providing me a NEW job the following day after I quit, I so to believe God will guide me through my problems and give me a "NEW" one to come. As I wait, I know God will reveal.
*Seeing you and having you so close to me, yet feelings are far apart makes me wonder. I knew why and how it all started, and with the blessings that I received, I am just going to bless until God says so; stop! I don't know what future holds, but I am doing what I can in this future and the rest is in your courts and in God's hands. Time waits for no man, move on and keep moving on. -when no one understands and no one agrees, I know I will stand by faith to trust in God.-
Do I look abit extra here?

Don't look to my faith, look to Jesus
If we are sick, we all must know that we are/have already been healed because of the finished work of Christ. We know we do not have to ask do I have that faith to believe I am healed! Do I even have the right kind of faith that's required to be healed! Or even what am I lacking to be healed? Don't ask anymore, stop focusing on ourselves, rather set your eyes to the Cross of Christ.I realized how I have taken my eyes to fix on Christ despite all that's happening around me. Time has passed me by so fast. 3 months of working in this company has made me learn a lot about life and being more than just a conqueror in life. I am so thankful that as I look back to where was I 3 months ago and where am I today, I am just overwhelmed knowing I have had moved on towards a new level in life. =] Working life is indeed different, but I know this is what it is to be in the "package" of what God has in stored to all He loves.
Many has asked why I chose to move on after 3 months of working here, despite me sharing all the good reports about my stay in the Company. Well, partly was because my Boss told me about recession and the needs of pay cut being a perm stuff. It has caught my attention knowing my probation has come to an end, it kept me thinking what I really want. =] I was disappointed when the decision has to be made of moving on and leave my comfort zone, but I fix my eyes of Christ, not knowing what to expect, I know I have nothing to be afraid.
I know I have tried my best, to know the best I can when I was serving and doing my best. I work from 8am to 6pm (leaving on the dot) but when I was home, work was all that I can think of. I felt so no life, but yet I know, I enjoy and I love what I was tasked to, so I have no complain, even when I was marked "no life" by my peers. I have no complaint towards all the tedious, time consuming work that was asked when people think is so "easy and simple". People may think I am just following with no mindsets of my own, but I know what it takes to honor my leaders and follow the ways they have asked me to.
I left with no regrets of not doing my best, or was I stagnant at where I was 3 months ago. I have no fear of what tomorrow holds. Indeed God has proved Himself to be faithful and true. Immediately, a day after I decided to quit, someone called me for an interview next Wednesday. I was shocked that in such a downturn, God still works the best for me to help me through. I am excited that as I walk with Christ, I am filled with no worries. =]
I left the company with a fact in my heart, I have nothing to lose yet I have all that I have gained. I will never be too proud to tell the world that I have reached where I was destined but rather I am walking again and again till I reached my final destination. I don't know how long, I don't know how tough, but all I know, I am in the good hands of my Father in Heaven. I believe as God closes a door for me, He opens a wider better door. I thank God for being God of my life. =]
Thank God for providing, thus let's continue to hold on even when we are faithless, God is faithful. Don't lean on your strength to rush, stop and listen to the voice of the Spirit today.
Love,

Give Honor to who it is due
When John Bereve spoke in my church 2 weekends ago, he spoke about giving honor to who honor is due and he goes on mentioning the 3 groups of people whom we should give honor to; our leaders; our peers and our "sheep". We know it takes lot of courage to be accountable to leaders above us, and to obey them even when we NEVER agree with them, but that's life. To honor our peers was something really new; but little did I realised, I have been giving my peers the kind of honor and respect they need and it kept me thinking, that I don't give honor to them because they are my peers, rather I look at each of them and know they are the special one that should be respected and honored. Lastly to our "sheep" whom we are entrusted to; someone whom they look after! I always tell people, give them time to learn, to grow and to change. We are where we are today not because we were different from our "sheep" but rather we were given that chance by someone else (our leader) to change. Why then are we so impatient towards them now? Aren't we the same when we were still young and innocent?
Pure honoring and respect are not just for whom we fear or even people with same status; but pure honoring and respect, I believe is humility; to be able to do what PRIDE can't. To honor someone who is not as good as you are, someone who is less capable.
Have you been thinking how do you gain honor then?
"
If a man's heart is proud, he will be destroyed. So don't be proud if you want to be honored." Proverbs 18: 12 (New International Reader's Version)
Just as the verse state, to be honored, let us not be proud which means, let us be humble. Stop thinking as we are so good, we are so great and people around us are nothing compared to you. I always believe if you think you are great, there's someone even greater and if you think you are worse, someone is surely has a worst life. Thus, let us learn to be contented, for all of us are given a different weight of the Cross from the Maker who knows our ability to the state of cross we are carrying. =]
Let us give honor to who honor is due, let us humble and be lifted up by the grace of God. Let us continue to learn from life.
Never think you are too good that you have reached your destination of life! NEVER.
Humble,

When the promise of God laid, where can I hide?
I believe there's more and today God spoke to me and say,
"Daphne, do you believe in me and trust me deep enough to believe I have in stored more for you?"
As the song I posted yesterday, it was the first time I heard it, and when I hear it again and again last night, it get into my spirit that there's more! I just went to bed with the contentment and faith that there is more to come for 2009. As I wake up today, the song was no longer in my mind, but I know the feeling of what it takes to believe and trust God for more. I went to church a little burden, but just want to believe and fight on for the battles and victories ahead. And BANG, the second song for today worship is the same song I kept playing yesterday night. I was overwhelmed that I tear upon hearing it. Today, the song spoke right into me and comfort me right there.
Thank you Jesus.

I believe there is more; so I open my hands and receive
When all that you think could be the best, God promised you something more. =] May this song just speak to you as much as it had to me. God loves you always; and be the humble one that God use in this tough times of life.
You have been good to me
You have been good to me
You have been gracious
You have been faithful, meeting my needs
Lord it's so plain to see
You have been good to me
I have been given so much
I cant even begin to thank You
And still I believe there is more
I believe there is more, I believe
So i open my hands to receive
All that Your love has in store
Lord I believe
Everything I have done
All that I've said and sung
Lifting Your story giving You glory
Thats just the beginning
Father I know there is more
Power to heal and restore
Miracles wonders blessings unnumbered
Love never ending
And still I believe there is more
I believe there is more, I believe
So I open my hands to receive
All that Your love has in store
Lord I believe
Exceeding abundantly
More than our minds can imagine
Love overflowing
You are bestowing
Day after Day after Day
Lord I Believe
Lord I believe
Shinning His Light

I enlarged; you decreased!
As I was walking through my time with the Lord today, I heard the Lord spoke just so clearly right into me! (imagine like your boyfriend/girlfriend whisper right into your ears)
"I have enlarged your capacity of love and closer the gap of your hatred!"
Can you imagine you were just waiting and enjoying the presence of God and an audible voice came and you were lifted up! The joy that grasps me was certainly awesome. I saw my smile widen as I felt the power of God came right into me. I recalled my life, I saw my love for people, my forgiveness on man, my attitude towards people who trespasses me; what seems tough for a moment in the past, has seems possible overnight. How true it is when the Lord has given you the power to do His will nothing will ever seem impossible.
I remembered I learnt that IMPOSSIBLE is POSSIBILITY taking MORE TIME, now I learn IMPOSSIBLE is believing in God for possibility. To sum it all, there's nothing call impossible if your heart and mind are on it. The biggest problem in life of impossibilities are not things that we can't do, rather they are things we THINK we can't do. If you THINK you can, you surely can!
I have been thanking the Lord for breakthroughs in life, breakthroughs that come one after another. Well, as breakthroughs came more unbelievable problems shown up too, but my faith was not shaken, my trust was simply tested. I knew what I wanted for life, how I want to live everyday of life, I was like a BULL-DOG just biting on giving my best for the day! =] Life is getting busier, that I don't even think I have any more time for other things. Well, I am contented and excited and am enjoying my life now.
Unafraid; what's ahead!
God is good

READ + TIME + BUSY
There are so many books that I want to buy, that I want to read. (John & Lisa Bevere)
1. Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry Book
2. Driven By Eternity Hardback Book
3. Be Angry, But Don't Blow It! Book
4. Fight Like a Girl Hardback Book
5. Honor's Reward Hardback Book
(A book for a month, AMEN?!)
I was caught by the titles, but after hearing John's preaching on Sunday, I just have to believe he does write good books. I am reading not just because I love reading nor because I want to improve my English, rather I want to see myself moving on from glory to glory, as I follow Christ through His servants in various ways. =]
Time has been passing me by so fast, guess because I have look at life in a total perspective and enjoy the best I know how now. I am not burning myself up even when the load within me seems overwhelming at times, but just somehow I have that sufficient grace to go through. I have learnt not to be just to be a learner in life, but be a leader. Time waits for no man, thus enjoy the best you have and you can for today!
I saw 2 motorbikes accident yesterday, I saw a house was caught on fire, I saw how separation happens, I found out the needs of the world out there in needs of money and the list goes on. How well are you enjoying today, if you know one of such things may happen to you the next day? Trust me, you won't do anything until you realised it is gone. Many a time, we live in regret because things have had already happened! Friends, we have no time to live in regret in any moment. That's why I rather enjoy today to the max I know how, do the most things I can within that same hours. =]
My schedule has been so tight now :
Mon - Fri :
6am : wakey wakey
7am : "breakfast" time with my love
8am : off to work
9am : work
6pm : end work
6 - 10pm (mon to fri) : shopping;resting;driving;cellgroup;partying
Sat :
6am : wakey wakey
7am : "breakfast: time with my love
8am : off to work
9am : work
1pm : end work
2pm : in Jurong West
3.30pm : Playgroup
7pm : Dinner with friends
Sun :
7am : wakey wakey
8am : "breakfast" time with my love
10am : breakfast with granny and family (if possible)
12nn : Church
3pm : Fellowship with Cell Group
*this is the schedule not including my time to start studying again, me making more effort to touch lives and spending more quality time with my family, especially my mum. I will never complain with such a hectic timetable, running from places to places, because now is just the time I can be a dare-devil to dare to try things again.*
-don't wait until there's no more chance to do it and you start to regret-
Love,

God is good
I woke up with a phrase which I believe is from the Lord.
"God is good thus everything that happens to me, ought to be good, because God has always been good to me"Many a time, we asked and we complaint why such things have to happen to us and feeling we are so defeated by the problems and trials that are set in our lives. But have not God promised you that ALL good things happened to those who love Him? How many times have we conquered our problems by getting ourselves defeated? God is not a God that leave us on earth for us to die and He laugh in Heaven, rather He is a God that came to earth to carry you and I through the difficult situations of our lives. Today, how many of us have look at God and said that, "indeed with You, my problems are just nothing but a piece of stone!" God will never give you what He knows you CANNOT do.
In Revelation 2:10 "BE FAITHFUL, EVEN TO THE POINT OF DEATH, AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF LIFE." Let us be truthful and faithful to complete this journey, though we may not know why, we may never understand how come, but with faith and trust in Him, let us just complete the race. It will not be that tough, because with God, we are already the majority.
THOUGH NOW FOR A LITTLE WHILE YOU MAY HAVE HAD TO SUFFER GRIEF IN ALL KINDS OF TRIALS. THESE HAVE COME SO THAT YOUR FAITH--OF GREATER WORTH THAN GOLD, WHICH PERISHES EVEN THOUGH REFINED BY FIRE--MAY PROVE GENUINE AND MAY RESULT IN PRAISE, GLORY AND HONOR WHEN JESUS CHRIST IS REVEALED. 1 Peter 1:6-7
So dearest readers of mine, hold on by faith, believing with your heart, that all things that happened, it could be the worst of it all, it is yet the best that the Lord has given you. "My child, to you, I have NEVER witheld anything that's the best from you, even to the life of mine, I gave it to you so that you can live." says the Lord.
love,

I have had a great time with my baobei. I think is the best time we spent time together, and really, my eyes were opened to see how much I have grown and to realise how far I have been moving on. I really enjoy my time with her. Thank you BB for making me so blessed to have you as my dearest darling. =] Thank you for standing by me and listening to me, and be there to support me. You are my best pal. Move on, moving on! =]

SMILE
I just can't believe it yet again how my God helped me through the day. It was a rough and tough day to start with, but I bite on the bullet of pain to say, God, I know I can go through it yet again with you and with my determination to carry on. I have now tasted what it means to fully rely on Him to carry me, what it takes to be alone and yet not lonely.
I never believe in replacement, I believe in facing reality, thus I never think my busy schedule can ever make me forget my past, rather, I know with my tight timetable, I just have lesser time to think and ponder over it. I am certainly growing out of everything, much better, cheerful and wiser. =] I am more certain with my choices and decisions now. Friends, I am not trying to say I feel better just to let you all know I am out of it, but I am thankful that there are people out there who at times choose to believe in me and hear me out. Thanks.
As I serve in Playgroup today, it brings me lots of memories and lots of visions for me to carry on my 2009. I just want to do so much more; engaging the children, loving them and teaching them about God. I know I will have LOTS of opportunities to learn as long as I am willing and I am daring. =] I am waiting for the best time yet in 2009 for me in PLAYGROUP.
*stop being so dumb* - someone told me that. =]
I have a friend in her 30s, was being proposed after 4 months of courtship. [red bomb 2]

Sometimes TV programs are exaggerating, while others, it explain the truth right from the heart. I have no idea why a person like me who doesnt watch shows, would be crazy enough to catch the 7pm show on Channel 8 [if time allows]. Maybe because is a love show, is a show I expect to be HAPPILY EVER AFTER! =]
Sometimes, watching that makes me realized I am not alone. I can somehow relate to what the story is saying, and most importantly to think and reflect it upon my life too. A young girl wish will never be to want just a side of her parents, she wants both. A girl is someone easily satisfied but a girl is also someone who dares to ask to be satisfied. I missed those days of joy, of smile and of company. I missed those days being hugged and kissed to bed.
Well, time waits for no man. I have grown up and everyone around has grown old. Those were just moments to remember, and place to recap/recall. Let us treasure today as if tomorrow doesn't exist, and if you NEVER say I LOVE YOU to someone, please do so today. These 3 words means more than your embarrassment and pride.
I LOVE YOU JESUS
I LOVE YOU DADDY & MUMMY
I LOVE YOU ELVIN
I LOVE YOU SUNSHINE CLUB
I LOVE YOU BABES (5- NYP-BITC)
I LOVE YOU N318 & N327
I LOVE YOU JW PG
I LOVE YOU BUDDY & AUNTIE & HANDSOME(guess he know who he is)
I LOVE YOU MYSELF
I LOVE YOU ENEMIES (don't even know who)
*Love the Lord your God with ALL heart, with ALL your SOUL, with ALL your mind and with ALL your strength; and Love your neighbour as yourself.*
[don't know what I am writing right, is okay =]. just know that I love you my readers]
if only things don't have to happen
if only love can comprehend and compromise
if only we can change history all over again
if only we placed ourselves in another person's shoes
if only...........................
if only
FAMILY = Father And Mother I Love You?
Love,

Faith is a four-letter word - SURE
Faith is not RISK
Faith is not PRAY
Faith is not SEEN
My faith is I am sure what I am doing.
My faith is I am sure of the choices I am making.
My faith is I am sure my God never fail me.
My faith is so sure, that's why I am doing what I am doing.
Looking back of this short month, how much have I changed and grown, I think I made quite a difference. My thoughts and ideas, my words and my actions =]. I can't imagine how I have been encouraging myself, how I have pushing myself and how I have doing it with the strength of God. I am so sure now that once your heart is fixed on what you want, you can trust in God to deliver the outcome. =] *I am free,99%, just 1 more bit, and that's the forgiving of .............................(fill in the blank, I can't tell you, but is not what you think it is)*
I look back, the last one month. I am truly thankful. Not that I wanna rely on God, but that my life journey as I just trust Him, everything change. I saw myself flying with the Lord overnight; in terms of the areas I am serving, especially in Children Church, attending less than 10 services with the children, I am tasked to lead the children in different segments. [I know you people can tell me, well, is a shortage of people, but go and think, if it is just because of the numbers, why didn't anyone just able to do what was supposed to?] It is really God's grace and strength for me. I am not just happy over in Children Church, but also in my own Cell Group, seeing myself able to do so much more. =]
2009, I just know, I am not going to waste what the Lord has given me.
*It is not I can't do it anymore unto you, is rather, I don't wanna do it anymore*

Unafraid; what's ahead
Have you heard of these sayings?
"Heart for God; Hands for Man"
"Let go and Let God"
"Let bygones be bygones"
"With God all things are possible"
"Seek Him first"
"Pray"
and the list goes on and on..........
In this New Year, I was challenged to do more than what I am capable of giving (my thoughts), but God has proven Himself so real that when I thought I can't, He provide the way out to help me through. As I thank God for loving me, and assuring me in 2008 that He loves me, I told myself before God that 2009 will be a year I love God too, through my services to Him and my obedience unto His call.
Do I not know the journey ahead is tough?
Do I not foresee the way ahead is rough?
YES I DO.
BUT BUT BUT
I also know my God is able to carry me through those tough moments of my life
I also see that my God is paving up the way to help me through my rough life through His transforming power.
I just wanna thank God for everything once again.
Without Him, I will NEVER be where I am today. NEVER
I would love to thank my friends who stood by me all these while, hearing my whines and pain, yet still patient enough to guide me and walk me through. [Friends, I dare to tell you, I have made you guys proud of me because of my actions not because of my words]
Well, lastly, I wanna thank myself, and I wanna give myself a pat that I have made it. =] I am so proud of myself, I am not a talker, but a walker of my talk.
2009 is indeed a year of maturity, a year of prosperity, a year to love, to give and to enjoy.
2009 is not a year to wait, but rather a year to do, not tomorrow, but NOW.
2009 is going to be a year, I will not be afraid what tomorrow holds.
2009 will be a year of faith.
2009 is a year for you and me.
2009 is the year of Jubilee.
2009 is here. =]

*promised to blog more often, cause my schedule is getting tighter, but thank God for events. I am not going to be a raw gem to be placed on a shelf, I am going to be a pure gem, willing to be used; untapped to be that diamond to shine for Christ. =]*

Manasseh Elephant
I remembered Pastor Kong taught us in the last sermon of 2008 that we need to forget. I yearned to be like Joseph that God would give me something that I can forget about the past. I have no idea what could God give me to forget my past and allow me to move on into 2009 victoriously, but I just walk a day slowly believing something will come. =]
It has been a month and I found myself my Manasseh; is a soft toy Elephant. I was in Alexander Hospital today. I was all alone while daddy was in the car waiting for me, and while I was waiting, I felt I needed a company. I went for a walk, knowing my turn will take ages to come; I came across this cute little elephant and on its ear, there's a letter D. I was delighted, I decided to just buy it without much thoughts. Elephant makes me remember of my FIRST CRUSH while I was in secondary school, I always called him "da xiang". Elephants makes me know that though it has long nose, it doesn't poke it into people's business. Elephant gave me the best comfort and though is big on the outside, but is soft and fun in the inside; remember when elephant splashes water with its nose on you, you will giggle! =] Not forgetting elephants have the biggest ears to hear you out.
I found my Manasseh to move and carry on. =]
Happy and Congrates 1 Month!
Love,

Lost
I have no idea which way I am heading anymore. I felt like a roller-coaster going through high and low. I am lost sometimes while other I was/am very determined. A friend of mine accompanied and saw the tears that fell (first person who seen me cry over this matter - I'm a good actor yeah!) last night at my void deck till 2plus. I was a little tipsy, but I know what I am saying, how I was feeling and it is the truth that when you drink, what you speak, you speak from the heart. I cried cause I felt the pain piercing through me, I saw my own pride that kills me, I realized how dumb I was to pin on nothing. It hurts. (not saying that I have not been facing it) I reflected while I listen too; how did I cause everything to be so bad before my eyes - no one to blame, no one to point fingers on than myself.
Where do I stand today?
What am I feeling now?
When will this end instantly?
Who have been hurt overnight? -I don't wanna be selfish, but I am sorry-
Why the journey seems so far? - Love is not a destination, is a journey! [haha]-
How?
-maybe i need to go through some depression courses to help me, or even........... I don't know-
What's my love today? How have I define love today! -my pride killed me and my love!-
SOLITUDE PLEASE
Every NEW day, I just press onto the Word of God, sometimes it doesn't really help me at all, at that moment, but I know I will still hold on until I see a breakthrough myself. "Breakthrough happens so that God can break in to help us" A LAND FOR WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD CARES; THE EYES OF THE LORD YOUR GOD ARE ALWAYS ON IT, FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO THE VERY END OF THE YEAR. ( DEUTERONOMY 11:12 *NKJV )As we begin the year 2009, with all the problems the World is facing, it can be unsettling to the mind. Today, I will share with you 10 predications that are sure to come true this year! Top 10 Predictions for 2009 1. The Bible will still have all the answers. 2. Prayer will still be the most powerful thing on Earth.. 3. The Holy Spirit will still move. 4. God will still honor the praises of His people. 5. There will still be God-anointed preaching. 6. There will still be singing of praise to God. 7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people. 8. There will still be room at the Cross. 9. Jesus will still love you. 10..Jesus will still save the lost when they come to Him. Isn't It Great To Remember Who Is Really In Control, and that; "THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER." Amen. ( 1 Peter 1:25 )my love, i love

Happy Blessed New Year
A new year just beginning,
Each day a fresh, new start,
To fulfill your hopes
And pursue the dreams
Sustained within your heart.
Put God in charge;
He'll plant the seeds
Of affection, love and care.
Like a garden, your life will grow
With kindness flowering there.
And as you face the wonder
Of each day's mysteries,
You'll see God's hand
Unfolding, daily, possibilities!
And as each day comes to a close,
Dream a dream or two,
Then with a prayer thank dear God
For each day given to you.
Love,
