The star is shining. Everybody is busy with work, guess that is school life. Haha
Ministry in God is always that great. Fellowship and everything else. When people needs to juggle between these 2, people will always forsake God's kingdom first. Why is it so? Lol. Maybe i can't really understand but i still want to love God, whole-heartedly.
These days is going to be very easy. It is going to be real testing and moulding, May be something that is beyond my capability to handle but i am going to let God handle everything. I need to depend on Him more and more each day.
Tomorrow will be a better day.

Today, i went out to outreach with Jia Hui and Ken. Initially, our main focus is on DMD students, but things start to take on a twist when we can't find any "solo" DMD students, so we outreach to the people from other courses.
I was rather nervous for it and thanks to some feedback from Jia Hui, i sound a little bit scary when i do the survey. The way i started my conversation is a bit too abrupt and hostile, the people ain't really opened, but some of them are opened in the end. Through this, i learn that, i have not really been out there to outreach recently, so i got rather fearful of speaking in public again. It sort of brings me back to the basics, to get our butts up and get our hands dirty for GOD! Through this week, i will be outreaching everyday to gather a pool of year 1 contacts to focus on. It is a win-win situation, first i can get some contacts and secondly, i am able to build up the momentum for next week! Really pray that God can bring a revival in DMD and all the other courses. 2 more months to go. Let's live to see His vision fulfilled!
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.
See you tomorrow. Tata!
Combined Team Rally!

Today i attended the combined team rally. Interestingly, it was really a time that brought me to think about MISSIONS! You are right! MISSIONS!
After attending the mission trip to Melacca last September. God placed a seed of burden in my heart, for the people in the Middle East and most vitally, Israel! From that time on, i really prayed that 1 day, i will be visiting these countries and understanding more about them.
Another principle i have learnt, we have got to learn to leave the head table seats and served the people!
We have to reflect on this. Are we leaving our own comfort zone in order to that. The head table seats are considered honourable to all the people. Are we willing to forgo the glamor and the attention we receive and mingle with the people who are poor? Who are considered the worst kind of people? When we say we are serving God, are we choosing people to serve? Are we choosing a group of people to outreach to? Are we neglecting the salvation of "worldly" people? These are a few points for us to ponder about.
Learn from the example of Jesus. As a great teacher. He don't preach to people who are not "worldly". All the people He preached to have a mindset of the world as they have yet to know God. He eats with sinners despite cynical glances from the Pharisees. As God, do He even need to do so? Is it not the love and compassion He has on us that He don't mind carrying up the cross to be crucified even though we are unworthy? Jesus don't pick people to share the gospel to, as His followers, we must follow His footsteps! He leaves the head table seat as a God, we must too, leave our own head table and deny ourselves, our rights to maximize the glory of His kingdom!
Phillipians 2:5-11
5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Here again!

Wasn't posting anything a whole month! Lol! I decided to make a comeback in blogging again. Hopefully, i am able to take time off for it.
I was rather tired today. Thanks to Andrew gift of healing and God, i am refreshed. Today service is absolutely great! I learn the analogy of a "spiritual alarm clock". At times, God used it as a warning to us but, despite He is patient and slow to anger, He will still slap us awake so that our day can be more fruitful rather than just sleeping it away.
God is forever faithful! His love for us is never-ending. I can blatantly remember how He is so real in my life in Year 2006! Last year, it is the only time i spend the whole year throughout with God. There are a lot of ups and downs, disappointment, frustration but He never gives up on me. I thank Him for that. Here is a brief recount of year 2006.
January
I spend the first 6 hours of the first day of Year 2006 at Loyang Industrial Park, blaming God's people. Haha. I slept at the bus stop there, greeted "Happy New Year" by several bypassers there. I wasn't at the least interested by what is happening around me. At that time, i am very hurt by the people in the community. Nobody notices my presence, i am someone who blended into the wall. I left the chalet in a pique. I told God, "I don't need a community as long as i know Him." Despite my stubborness, God still embraced me. He answered my first prayer of the year by stopping the rain when i was spending my time at the bus-stop, praying sincerely for the rain to stop so i can go back to the chalet and take my bag to leave. The rain stopped, i go back to the chalet. Due to some discomfort in going into the chalet through the front door. I crept in from behind only to realize that Li Yan came in and thought that i am a thief! Lol. So funny. She spoke into my life, i am ecstatic that God spoke through her. She widens my perspective on the importance in mixing around with people. Jia Hui later came in and told me that she used to be someone like me. Of course, i don't believe! Haha. Li Yan later encouraged me to stay but i still choose to go.
That day when i go home. I felt empty and depressed. I felt like doing something out of my zone. But, i wasn't ready to do it! I tried mixing around in my class, other than Shelia, Crystal and Eugene, it didn't really succeed, i am demotivated. A new-believer came into our caregroup that time, his name is Huzaen, now he has left the church for somewhere he deems as better, another church which is. At that time, Ken followed up on him. I tagged along with Ken to Kinokuniya as i really want to live life out of my zone.
Lots more to come..
Thanksgiving
Thank God for Yuan Wen and Brian to come to know Him!! God is going to move mightily in His ministry
