Serving God...

Just celebrated my bday a few days ago... Quite interesting day... Went to M'sia with Ken and ate at sushi king... Then after prayer meeting, my cg bros surprised me with another celebration... I was really surprised... Hahaha... Then we shared our goals for the next 3 years and 5 years... Interesting wat goals the bros have made. I pray that their goals will all come to pass...

Pst's going to start on a new series very soon. Have been so very blessed by the marriage series although I missed most of them... I'll get my cds very soon and I'll have the full set of notes!!! Heh... Pls queue up... 1st is Ken parents... After me... Hehe... Think u all unmarried and married ppl shld get too!!! These kind of thing shld invest in one...

Building fund is coming... It's going to be so exciting... My privilege to be able to give and participate in this exciting campaign... This new building is mine! At least I know part of it was made by my money. My life and effort, I bought it; I worked hard, earned the money and bought it. Yep! You too can be a part of this. But do pray for the amt 1st. It's not an amt that is calculated or left over from ur savings. But this amt is something that God is going to speak to you. This will cost you something and strengthen your walk with God. This amt is going to be such a divine amt. And the following few months to come is going to be a trust walk with God. That if God dont come true for u, you wont be able to survive the week. This is the time when you'll totally depend on God.

I'm so excited. The time has come again!!! I remember just the last one... I asked God to give me my job. And it came to pass. I know that I'm where God has planned. Sometimes, I feel a dilemma. Should I get a lower commitment job: a normal 9-5 job with a lower pay but more certain 'fang gong' time. But I'll always remind myself... God has opened doors for me and enabled me to be working in one of the big four. In addition, what faith do you need if u know for sure you can come for svc and cg and to serve Him? I mean it's like it doesnt need much faith to serve God with a 9-5 job. But with my current job when i cant take leave during the few months... But I still choose to put God 1st, ask my snr and mgr for permission to come for cg and svc every wk... I need lots of faith and favour. I need the wisdom of God. I need the Holy Spirit guide to ask the qn at the rite time...

My goal for now... I can be busy but I'll still be able to come for service and cell group weekly...

Am I angry?

Someone asked me... Are you angry? Hmmmm.... How to answer this qn? Let's see... I'm no longer angry...

It's not one thing that made me angry... It was a series of things then a spark... Then I blew my top... Haiz... Nvm... It's over now...

Resolved...

So sweet,,,

Last nite I went for dinner with my family... Then upon reaching home, my bro gave me a present... I told him i just wanted a necklace... He got me that... Then something more... A anti=eyeshadow cream... Hmmmm... I was like wat's that?

He said... You have been working thru the nite... So u see all ur dark eye rings all come out liao... So something for you to hide that.... So sweet... So thoughtful... I didnt even think of that... Heh...

This set me thinking... We always ask ppl what they want for bday. then we go and get it for them. When the person gets the present... They open and thank the giver for the gift... And it ends there... But what happened to those days where you discover for urself wat the person wants for bday? Then get it for them... Isn't that more wonderful? More surprising? Makes bday more exciting and expecting... Hahaha...

Just a thot...

What a surprise

Just came back from expo... Was told that there was a meeting which I had to attend after service. So I travelled all the way down. Auntie wanted to make some announcements and so needed me to be there. And bumped into weiyan on the way, pulled her in too... Hee... And it was great cos the announcement also involves her.

Then they also celebrated the Sep babies/ helpers' bday. Starting from the month of Sep... This will start. Such a pleasant surprise... Got a card and weemin blessed the ppl. Ate the cake and off we went for dinner at sakae at tiong bahru plaza with ruix...

There was a promotion going on... $9 for 9 plates and subsequent 10th plate will be the usual price. However this is only valid for the first 9 plates per table. Had we known earlier, we would have sat at diff tables. Hahaha... But as a result, we saved money... Heh... Ate a total of 12 plates, each person only had to pay $5.80. And we were all just filled, not too full nor hungry...

In the morn went for the treetop walk with my mentor group... Very tiring and our legs were wobbly when we came down. I almost fell when I missed one step... But thank God I didnt... Then it was followed by lunch. Cabbed home to bathe cos Peifen wanted to go for service and we werent sure how to go home from there... After bathing supposed to go pei ken study. But he said he was with his friends, so I supposed he didnt need more company... So i took a nap to nurse my headache... Muz be the sun... Forgot to bring cap or shades... think my scalp got burnt... Got a little sun burn on my shoulders too, but not the very bad kind.

On the whole it was quite a fruitful day except I didnt managed to meet Ken at all....

Can you come out with a better idea?

Hahaha... Just came back from cg. Had an interesting day. Was free in the morn so spent my time preparing for my next few assignments. then went for mentor training, the mgr talked so long that it ended late... So left office only at 6+.... Had to reach Ken's hse at 7 for prayer meetin... My colleague and I rushed off from office..

After I walked out of my office, the strap of heels broke... And I was running late... I just continued the journey with my broken heel... Hee... Then we managed to get to the station and took train to jurong east... The queue for cabs were ridiculously long... I just felt that the Holy Spirit was telling me dun just stand there to wait. U can put in more effort. How desperate are you to get to cg?

My colleague went to get dinner, 2 hotdogs before we head over to the main road in front of S11 at guardian there. I was so panicky while walking over. I was praying in tonuges inside me as we dash thru the crowd. She has just started to join us for cg and I didnt wanna scare her off... So when I was reaching the road, I saw lots of emtpy cabs zooming past. I flagged and one stopped.

My colleague was in awe. I was like thank God!!! I can make it for prayer meeting on time and even got some time for us both to visit the toilet before pm starts! Think God is really really good. As you desire to come for cg, God will surely open a door for you. Even when the devil tries all sorts of ways to stop you, make training end late, make shoe strap break, make taxi stand super long queue. But he is still no fight to the good and almighty God I serve, for God grants his servant the desire of his heart. Reminds me of this song...

God You're good to me
Lord I'm in love with You
God You bless my life
Lord You heal my soul

All I wanna do is thank you Jesus
All I wanna do is praise your name
All I wanna do is thank you Jesus
All I wanna do is praise your name ... ...

Hallelujah!!!

Some thoughts...

That day I was at boon lay bus interchange waiting for bus. There was an uncle who was sweeping the leaves up. Nvr seen this scene b4 in the old bus interchange. Muz be the new interchange then the mgmt wanna project a very clean image of the place. Kekeke.... Then I saw a coin on the floor... On the road, where the bus moves. So the uncle was sweeping the leaves and he spotted the coin. He paused, picked the coin up and pocketed it.

Was just wondering how much he gets from picking up these coins each day. To the person who dropped the 10 cent, it'a most probably insignificant cos he didnt even pick it up... But when this little 10 cent coin accumulates, it'll be quite a bit... And this sweeper gets some bonus each day... I remember in my JC time, someone told me her grandma walks ard picking up 1 cent coins, and she can collect ard $5 per month!!! It's good income for grannies...

Then later in the same day I went for tuition. After tuition I went home to bathe and change b4 rushing out to meet Ken near church... I was pretty late so i took 157 and to change to 242 or 99. 242 came once i reached the busstop but it was full but i had to get on. So i just got on the last step of the 242. I was the one who got on the bus at that stop. As the bus moved off, God just asked me 'how desperate are you? to what extent will you go? How far will you press in?' so the qn is how far will you go for God?

It's sowing time... Yeah!!!

God is good, preparing me as the day to sow draws nearer... Have been offered a tuition deal that is flexible. I can go when I'm free. Fixing it at 2 lessons per wk, 2 hrs each. Hoping to earn a little more cash to sow into the building fund.

It's time to start praying for the amount to pledge. And I'm so excited. Many ppl in the world may be thinking, these ppl are crazy. So excited to give their money away to the church, why not give them to me? But these ppl dun see the vision that God has shown us, these ppl dun run this race which we're running. Then who are they to criticise what we're doing? To deter us from doing what God has told us to? So shut these voices in your life. Act on your faith! For faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Ppl in the world can spend thousands or even millions of dollars pursuing their dreams. What abt ppl like us? Giving our little something to the Lord to build a bigger stadium where more ppl can come to know Him... Not for publicity, not to create more history breaking records, but really cos we wanna more ppl in this house. To end up in a place where life is so wonderful, where they have goals in life to work towards.

Was just reading the article in Harvest Times written by Pst Ulf. What stuck me was that everything we say matter. As we desire to be more and more like God, we got to be like Him in everything we do and every word we speak. Every word that Jesus spoke came to pass. No idle words from Him. In Isa 55: 11 Every word that goes forth from His mouth will not return to Him void, it'll accomplish the purpose which it was sent out for. And similarly, I pray that we can all come to a point where every word we speak will come to pass. I pray for good weather, and there's clouds and windy and sunny. I pray for new friends to come and there will be so many that we can fill a whole section. I pray for integration of these new friends and they all get planted in a cg, attending BS and continually reaching out to the lost. And Pst Ulf mentioned that we must make a constant effort to stay positive, to be affirmative. I was just thinking abt it. If every Christian I know, is able to do this, there wont be any counselling needed. Everyone will be such a happy person. Just like what Pst AR Bernard does, happiness is... :o)
