Friday, May 30, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Psalm 27:4 One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. Then for the NP day of prayer.. Whoa, they gave me the role of publicity.. Whoa.. I really dunno anything about publicity and they gave me the role.. LOL.. Was like WHAT??????? But well, have to pray about it lor.. If that's what God wants, then just follow lo.. After the meeting then went to eat until 10pm.. Lol.. So long.. Then later we went to arcade to play a while.. Wa.. Quite fun la.. Played Mario racing.. And Caleb was my opponent, and he couldnt shoot me.. HAhahahahahahha.. Then after that go home lo.. And I still had to call my church frene to plan for praise and worship tis sun during fellowship.. Really can like feel the power.. God is going to work, yea, so must pray against any spiritual warfare or whatsoever lo.. Yep.. 0 comments Wednesday, May 28, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Just the first part of the first stage and you can already have an army.. Even if you dont use this character, your army also can be quite big..  Look at that person peeing.. And you have a bandit driven TANK!!!  And a Helicopter.. Whoooohooooo.. This is really like Metal Slug.. Lol.. There are also machine guns.. Was actually bandits shooting it. Tats y now its not working.. But if an enemy get close to it, it will fire again..  Seriously!!! A big change in Little Fighter.. Hahahaha.. I am seriously amazed can.. Lol.. 0 comments Monday, May 26, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Was great, the whole thing.. Then after everything Caleb controlled the video cam and keep focusing on me Jeanette and Joshua.. Lol.. Then keep following us.. We suddenly become the spotlight on screen.. Lol.. Funny sia.. The message today, learn quite alot.. I think God chose today to show me the many errors I did in the past.. The pride in me.. I thought I knew it all, I thought I am ready, but actually I am not, I do not know at all.. I really dunno God.. And I want to know him, and I pray that he will teach me about himself.. And I will slowly and surely understand him and through this, he can be made known to the people around me.. 0 comments Sunday, May 25, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Cause when we were singing, I actually had fun, lol.. Thinking back, we usually forget our childhood or dont return to it cause its not our age to be lik tat le.. I actually forgot tat too.. And today's kids worship reminded me that I am also a little child to God regardless my age.. Hmmm, amazing yea, how God choose to humble the proud using the simple and the "kiddy things".. Today, an interesting thing happen.. Heres how it went, The children were thought the meaning of sacrifice.. It was a puppet show and they were showing someone having nothing and a puppet begging food for that person.. And that puppet begged the kids for food.. Each kid were given 3 rabbit milk sweets.. Then everyone was asked to give how many sweets they want to help that person without any food.. Its optional.. So some give none while some give 1.. Well, didnt see anyone give 2 or all, well, not from my group.. Haha.. Then later after they give.. The puppet then say, "I also give whatever I have to that person who has nothing.. Because I know God will provide for me.." And while that puppet is wondering what to do, a parcel arrive and inside that parcel is a lollipop.. Haha.. So in turn, the kids are given a lollipop for every sweet they gave up.. And for those who never give, there was none.. And you know my group there got 2 kids with a maid.. Think they are about at most pri 1 or 2 only.. They refused to give any sweet cause they wanted the sweets, but when the lollipop came, there came an cry from the boy (1 of the kid), saying he wanted the lollipop.. And he is actually willing to trade up all his milk sweets for 1 lollipop.. But o well, a lesson must be taught, so no lollipop was given and that guy broke down in tears and had to be taken to a corner... My group the other kids who never give any sweets could only stare in envy only while their group mates got lollipop.. Yea... Think this is another lesson learnt today, the heart of giving, to sacrifice.. When we give in faith, much more will be added to us.. And it shows we are rich.. But when we refuse to give up what we have in faith, we will actually miss the blessings God can give us.. And when God blessings does come to the people around us who gave, no wailing and gnashing of teeth will even make time repeat itself.. Once we miss it, we miss it... Even if we are willing to give up whatever we have for that blessing, we cannot obtain it le.. Suddenly tot of something.. Tat pretty much speaks about Salvation too yea, to put deny ourselves and bear up the cross, to be disciples of Christ.. If not when the day of Judgement comes, where all truth are revealed, well, its jus too late rite.. 0 comments Friday, May 23, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Psalm 42 1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. 3 My tears have been my food 4 These things I remember 5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? 7 Deep calls to deep 8 By day the LORD directs his love, 9 I say to God my Rock, 10 My bones suffer mortal agony 11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Psalm 25: 1-6 1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; 2 in you I trust, O my God. 3 No one whose hope is in you 4 Show me your ways, O LORD, 5 guide me in your truth and teach me, 6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, And Lord I will once again walk on, Not base on sight, but by faith. Not base on feelings, but by your words. And I will worship you, Not with words, but with works.

I also dunno what to type, but jus to pray and type what in how the spirit leads ba.. I am busy, got alot of things to do, have poor time management, so many people wants my time, God too.... To tell you the truth, its really a struggle just to spend time with God.. Wrestling with God in that too.. 10% of my time from my daily activities seemed to have died down, sleeping before 12 midnight seemed to die down too, managing time wisely seems so hard that I jus want to stop doing everything.. I know God gives 24 hours a day for a reason, and it will be enough for us, all we need is to prioritise our time.. But you know, Practical vs Theory... Practical is always harder in this matter.. Haiz.. My passion for God seems to be dropping.. I really dont want it to drop any further.. Convictions seem to last for a few moments while my heart for the lost are drown in my schoolwork too.. Its really difficult.. Schoolwork is also piling up.. Just this sem, I will have 5 papers.. And all 5 papers are 5 GPA credit points.. WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?! YES!!!!! 5!!!! I really have no idea how am I going to pull through this.. I know God will lead and sustain.. I know he called me to this, and I know he will see me through.. But I dunno how..... I can only stare at all the things at my hands.. The fustration of not being able to remain in God's mercy and grace but to keep forgetting him and walking on my own strength and falling... I cant do this alone God, I need your help, I need you to take control.. I dont want to keep forgetting you and then have to come back to you again.. I am tired of this too.. Psalm 39 1 I said, "I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth as long as the wicked are in my presence." 2 But when I was silent and still, 3 My heart grew hot within me, 4 "Show me, O LORD, my life's end 5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth; 6 Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: 7 "But now, Lord, what do I look for? 8 Save me from all my transgressions; 9 I was silent; I would not open my mouth, 10 Remove your scourge from me; 11 You rebuke and discipline men for their sin; 12 "Hear my prayer, O LORD, 13 Look away from me, that I may rejoice again Psalm 40:11-13 11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, O LORD; may your love and your truth always protect me. 12 For troubles without number surround me; 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; 0 comments (all of my days i will sing your praises) Today's QT, I am really reminded that I need to keep my focus on God, and also to pay attention to our life and doctrine. Least we drift away from God. Many things which I have been pursuing have left me distracted from following Jesus wholeheartedly.. Too many things, as I think, really, too many things.. Studies, School, Games, Animes plus poor time management.............. 0 comments (all of my days i will sing your praises) Yesterday's QT, think its better to type out everything. Verse in from Matthew 14:25-31, go read yourself. Haha.. The wind really was boisterous and the waves really were high, but Peter didnt see them at first. He didn't consider them at all; he simply recognized his Lord, stepped out in recognition of Him, and "walked on the water." Then he hegin to take those things around him into account, and instantly, down he went. Why couldn't our Lord have enabled him to walk at the bottom of the waves, as well as on top of them? He could have, yet neither could be done without Peter's continuing recognition of the Lord Jesus. We step right out with the recognition of God in some things, then self-consideration enters our lives and down we go. If you are truely recognizing your Lord, you have no business being concerned about how and where He engineers your circumstances. The things surrounding you are real, but when you look at them you are immediately overwhelmed, and even unable to recognize Jesus. Then come his rebuke, "Why did you doubt?" (14:31). Let you actual circumstances be what they may, but keep recognizing Jesus, maintaining complete reliance upon Him. If you debate for even on second when God has spoken, it is all over for you. Never start to say, "Well, I wonder if He really did speak to me?" Be reckless immediately - totally unrestrained and willing to risk everything - by casting your all upon Him. You do not know when His voice will come to you, but whenever the realization of God comes, even in the faintest way imaginable, be determined to recklessly abandon yourself, surrendering everything to Him. It is only through abandonment of yourself and your circumstances that you will recognize Him. You will only recognize His voice more clearly through recklessness - being willing to risk your all. - Oswald Chambers 0 comments Wednesday, May 21, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Malachi 3:8 - 4:3 says this, "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' "In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty. "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty. "You have said harsh things against me," says the LORD. "You have said, 'It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD Almighty? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape.' " (I believe this part is refering us serving God with the grace of God until we find it fultile to serve him, because we seem to be in the "suffering" end) Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honored his name. "They will be mine," says the LORD Almighty, "in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not. "Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.The last 3 paragraphs are promises God has given unto us, that in due time, evil will be judge for his wrong doings.. So, dont give up yep, and dont forget your time with God, everyone needs a break.. 0 comments Tuesday, May 20, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) And went school for DG after a small followup with Kyran at SAS (somebody from my sec sch).

Lol.. 0 comments Sunday, May 18, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Psalm 90, A prayer of Moses the man of God. 1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world,from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 3 You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men." 4 For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by,or like a watch in the night. 5 You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning- 6 though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered.7 We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.9 All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. 10 The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. 11 Who knows the power of your anger? For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.12 Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.13 Relent, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants. 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.16 May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands. Ok, it was an humbling experience yep.. God is so big yet I am so small.. He can cause the disasters in China and Myanmar to happen and well, what is man, for he can be swept away lik the wind, lik grass who is new in the morning but dry and withered in the evening.. Yea..

But I would just like to trust God for it.. =) 1) Taking of 10% of my time out of my daily activities to spend it for God. 2) Waking up about an hour before I usually wake up to jus spend time with God. 3) To sleep latest by 12 midnight so that I will have the energy i need the next day.

Aiyaya 0 comments Monday, May 5, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Did personal retreat after coming home.. After I bathed of course.. Was great.. And refreshing.. As I worship God and hear from him.. Really, he did something I didnt expect at that time.. I thought at first he was going to tell me about my work or something, like that he will be with me and all.. You know, but I think he knew I thought I knew better, so he touched me in another way.. And I felt his love, and his glory.. And I am so humbled that he came to love me, to die for me, and that he is so holy, and to feel so unworthy, yet he did all that for me.. Wow.. I cannot do anything but just break down in tears in his presence.. Really, and indeed this retreat is refreshing, through all this, it just gives e the strength to carry on once again.. Praise the Lord.. Haha.. 0 comments Sunday, May 4, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Today's sermon topic was also interesting.. Was on Genesis 13.. Read v5-7 Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together. And quarreling arose between Abram's herdsmen and the herdsmen of Lot. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time. See, this is an example of christians not having a good testimony of their lives.. They often quarreled and the Canaanites and Perizzites are living with them.. Lol.. Imagine a household, they put a cross outside their home.. Then everyday can hear scolding and beating, the children crying.. Then their neighbours - non-christians, hearing it every night.. Then they will ask, "So this is how a christian family looks like" This will end up in them refusing the gospel and all.. You all get what I mean.. Then afterwards Abraham went to resolve the issue.. He made peace.. When making peace, there will always be sacrifices involved in making the peace.. If not, there wont be a peace.. In Abraham's case, he allowed Lot to choose the land first then he will go the other side.. In the end, God blessed him in v14-17 The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you." And see the way he made peace too.. He did it quick and straight, instead of people dragging the whole issue and hence everyone suffers.. He was quick to say "Let's part company. If you go to the left, I'll go to the right; if you go to the right, I'll go to the left." when all else fails.. Yea, many principles to learn from.. Tomorrow is mon, a new week yet again.. Awww.. Mon is such a long day.. Then tomorrow lunch time must give out bookmarks and maybe magazines again to the people in NP.. Haiz.. Struggle really.. Cause I really dont wan do it.. Cause like quite sian of doing this type of things le.. Guess its really denying myself and taking up the cross ba.. O well.. 0 comments Friday, May 2, 2008 (all of my days i will sing your praises) Yesterday was LM 2 at East Coast.. Went there reluctantly though.. Cause got all the things on my hands.. So ya lor..
