Stirrings...

I'm really thankful to God for all the things He has been doing in my life.. but especially from His presence and continual fellowship with Him... It's like i can see Him at work in my life everyday if not almost.. i know i havent really been blogging cos i've been doing a lot of things but He's really just so real..

I experience Him through all those times when He would just begin to stir me when i'm alone.. like last week when i would be at my computer listening to worship songs and His presence will just invade the atmosphere.. like how on sunday when i took up those drumsticks feeling the favour of God upon me, a certain boldness came over me and i played the drums like i've never played them before.. Like just now when i took up my guitar while waiting for something in the com to load and then the Holy Spirit just came.. like how i get stirred inside me and just spontaneously start speaking in tongues when i'm doing random things, even while watching TV... Like how i feel His presence with me sustaining me during all those late nights i had to dish something out for school the next morning.. Like how He would still sustain me in school with little sleep the night before.. Like how Holy Spirit came last fri during Gatekeepers and totally spoiled my prayer agenda but told me that all i needed to do was just to be there... Like how the Holy Spirit would just guide me in the small things that i do and give me ideas on what to say or do, even in my schoolwork...

In all this, He's showing me that He holds me.. that I'm in His arms and that there's nothing i can do to ever go too far from Him cos He's always there.. And He was showing me that my spirituality doesn't depend on the things i do or the disciplines that i walk in but how much i yield to Him and how much i allow Him to work in my life.. He was showing me that righteousness doesn't depend on what i do cos i cannot trust myself.. but i can trust Him and as i surrender to Him, He's the One who's gonna work it through... I've been afraid that someday, sometime, i might just fail Him or do something wrong... but He shows me how i'm held by Him and how i can't go too far... all i have to do is trust Him...

Many times, we don't think we need Him but we really do.. in fact, we need Him more than we actually think we do! And that's what makes me sad.. when people just treat Him as an option... not as the ultimate goal of our very existence! Cos many times, we don't see how much we really need Him.. Like the church of Laodicea in Revelations.. we think we are so much better off ourselves, running our lives our own way... But He wants us.. even in our unworthy state.. He sees us, searches us and knows us.. and He's all acquainted with all our flaws, imperfections and sins... and He's even aware of more of them than we're aware of.. but still He wants us, still He calls us to Himself, still He beckons to us to eat with Him... still He loves us...

Have you met Him today?? :)

Favour!

I'm just so amazed at how great God is... i was trying to change my tutorial allocation slots cos i wanted to free up my monday afternoons and in order for me to do that, i had to wrestle with the nus administration system.. and this is what i had to do:

1. Move my HY2253 tutorial from 4-5 to 2-3 (provided there are places left in that slot)
2. In order for me to do that, i have to move my MKT1003 tutorial from 2-4 to 11-1 (provided there are slots left) and this is a different faculty; business.. which makes things a little more complicated.. i had to fill in a form and wait for a reply from them which i eventually got..
3. In order for them to move my MKT1003 tutorial, i have to contact my HY2250 teacher first and get the history department to waive my lecture from 8-12 so that i can free up my 11am slot.. (the teacher was gonna let us go by 11 but in the system, it's reflected as 12)

So it all involved messing around with the computer system and talking to different administrators and straddling from one faculty to another... well guess wad.. i had the favour of God with me! After my HY2250 lecturer told me he's not too optimistic, i then approached the staff processing my HY2253 application and explained to her the complicated moves i had to make just to be able to transfer to that tutorial slot... and then she sent my back to my lecturer to get his written approval and when i went back to her, she managed to waive the lecture slot so icould get into the MKT1003 tutorial! (That's no. 3. done.. 2 more to go!) Then i gave the administrator at business a phone call and told her that she could now register me for the 11-1 tutorial which she did! Once that was done, i called the history department again to explain to them that i could now make it for the HY2253 tutorial from 2-3!

So at the end of the day, everything just went very smoothly and my problem was solved! And i knew that God's hand was in the situation.. cos He was the One who prompted me to approach the staff in the history department for help and guess wad.. she happened to be a Christian too (cos i could see all the verses plastered over her office cubicle).. and she was very patient with all my requests here and there...

He makes all things beautiful in His time...

@ the Hypermart

I didn't have school today so i stayed at home most of the time.. but i decided to take a trip down AMK Hub in the afternoon to get myself some groceries.. but two things weren't quite right in this equation.. firstly, chris was hungry.. second, chris was surrounded with food! yup! you've guessed it! i've overspent on my budget again! well you see, i found out that they carried my favourite brand of oil and vinegar dressing and though i had pretty much in the basket as it was, i decided that there was some more room for the dressing and some greens to go with it...

and so the Holy Spirit, wanting to teach me a lesson about prudence didn't leave me alone.. i was left with an uncomfortable streak in my conscience and i had to dish it out with Him.. well, no excuse would justify it as i tried to rationalise the issue with my need for fibre and more vitamin c... what motivated my lack of prudence was just plain greed.. clear and simple...

and as i was meditating upon the situation with Holy Spirit's guidance, He left me with something deep to think about; He could have easily caused me to be born into a wealthy family if He wanted to.. He could easily give me more in my bank account if He wanted to.. cos He not limited by human means at all.. but the question is why did He choose to leave me with the amount of $ i have now?? why not more since it's so easy for Him to do so and for me to call upon God as Father?? and the answer came as clear as a whistle.. He wants me to learn prudence and good stewardship with what i already have cos it's gonna train me for the future... for His plans for my life, for my destiny that would unfold.. He wants to build wisdom ito me so that when the time comes for me to handle larger amounts of $, i will be a great steward of it... and He was showing me that this applies for stewarding not just money but other aspects of life and resources that He provides us with in the present... so if im gonna make way for my futre, i'd better start living my life with wisdom and prudence now and be trained by Him so that when the time comes, i'm prepared to take up greater responsibility and step into my destiny...

every little step counts...

Another Ambush

Hmmm.. let's see.. if God gets you twice in that same week, it means He's really trying to get your attention... So i was at this seminar at YMCA with Uncle Jem and Martin on saturday morning.. the speaker had just dismissed us for lunch and we were all supposed to eat at the restaurant... there were tables reserved for participants so groups of us would sit together.. So Martin and I sat at this particular table and Uncle Jem sat at another table cos he was talking with his friend... And it so happens that we started to talk with this lady at our table...

She was very friendly and at that short time that we spent for lunch, we got to know her pretty well and she opened up her life to us.. she told us about her children and when she found out that i worked with youth, she asked me to pray for them.. she told me their stories and about how her daughter lost faith in God cos of certain things that happened.. and as she was sharing these with me, tears were welling in her eyes and i could see that she was kinda struggling to retain her composure.. and here i went listening intently to her and trying to maintain mine cos i when you're caught in a situation like this, you really wouldn't know what to say or do...

and so Holy Spirit throws me at the deep end again when i'm supposed to hear Him under pressure... i was like uttering a desperate prayer deep inside.. "now what should i do?" and so as her sharing intensified, the Holy Spirit just moved me with compassion and i sensed that i should just reach out and take hold of her hand.. and as soon as i did, she immediately bowed her head! ... now what was i supposed to do?? pray right there in the middle of a restaurant?? well that seemed like the best thing to do at that time.. and so i also bowed my head and prayed the best prayer that i could under that sudden situation.. i didn't really pray for very long but i did the best i could knowing that no matter what came out of my lips, the Holy Spirit ministered to her anyway.. once the final Amen was said and i looked up at her, i could see the tears streaming down from her face as she gave me a sincere "thank you"... Martin was sitting there watching it all and equally amazed at how Holy Spirit had ambushed me again..

He knows how much i dun like to go out of my comfort zone and talk with unfamiliar people.. but God wants me out of my ivory tower and into the world.. and He's really making sure that i learn this lesson! He wants to do away with my perfectionism.. that even as i sat there partially stunned, i didn't have the luxury of composure in uttering the most eloquent of prayers.. His Word says "be ready in season and out of season".. And so when i pray "God get me", He really does! Talk about messing me up!

Moral of the story... take some time to look at the people around you... look beyond their smiling faces, their seemingly contented lives, their comfortable Singaporean countenance hiding something beneath the guise of material affluence... beyond that is the deep cry of their soul.. and only the listening heart shall hear it.. and only the listening heart shall respond to God's heartbeat...

remember to stop for the one...

First Day; the aftermath... muahahahaha

Today was the first day of the semester and it seems that last night's story is not yet finished... cos God set me up today with a sign regarding my calling and the impartation i received at the Open Heavens conference and my response to Him.. the very first day of school and the day right after the conference, He ambushes me... hehehe

I went to school early in the morning for lecture and i was surprised that LT8 was empty.. so i decided that there was probably an announcement posted on ivle that i had neglected.. so i reasoned that i should go to the nearest computer terminal to check it out.. i went to the terminals at AS7 but they were still closed that early in the morning so i decided to make my way to the library.. on my way there, there was something in me (more like Someone) that prompted me to go over to LT8 again to check it out.. so i went and i opened the door and lo and behold! there was no one there..

but.. apparently there were 2 international students there who happened to be just as clueless about the lecture scheduling as i was... i ended up making friends with them.. one was from USA and the other was from the Netherlands.. then we went to the Deck just nearby to grab a bite and i got them some char siew buns and siew mai to try :P ... one of them is a physics major so i gave him my personal email add just in case he needed help with the history module... we came back later to the LT cos we found out from the prof that the lecture started at 9.. and i got to know more international students.. 2 more from america, 1 from canada and 1 from estonia.. and we're all gonna be in the same online discussion group together... later, we went back to the canteen for lunch and i got to know them a bit better and i got to tell them a bit about where's what in school and around campus... i got to bring them to the Dungeon.. that elusive place in my faculty where everyone goes to smoke cigarettes in front of a big sign saying "this is a smoke-free campus" and where used cigarette butts would mingle among thick garden plants... (i noticed that they took away the "smoke-free" sign.. probably the school admin just gave up chasing ppl away).. after that, i brought them to the nus press office and then to the bus stop...

ok.. so where am i getting at?? usually, i couldn't care less.. if i didn't sit with my friends in a lecture hall, i'd rather sit alone.. i don't go around trying to get to know many local students, let alone international students! and certainly not 6 of them at one go! it was certainly my first time in the 3 semesters that i've been in nus... so God set me up.. after last night's response and impartation on missions, He's trying to get my attention.. i've been praying recently "God, bring me beyond myself" "Take me out of my comfort zone"... and i didn't expect His answer to be so literal and so sudden! And i felt quite out of place cos they were all caucasians... most speaking very clear english.. it was hard for me to adapt to speaking to them in a particular register cos i didn't really know whether i should speak with my filipino accent which is more understandable to americans or with my normal way of speaking english.. and even so, i certainly couldn't use singlish... but despite of it all, i had to rely on the Holy Spirit.. and trust Him that it's all gonna be alright.. cos many times i dun usually communicate effectively with ppl... i think He really wants me to get that lesson about perfectionism.. that everything doesn't have to look/sound perfect when i talk to ppl.. God was responding to my prayers of breaking my coldness and apathy and he was throwing me in a situation where i can love practically... as He opens doors, maybe i'll even get to minister to some of them.. but i'll let my actions speak.. after all, they know that im Christian... and i just wanna be a blessing to them and testimony of Jesus during their stay in Singapore...

Through it all, i can just imagine God smiling as He watches me trying to find my footing in the deep water... But no matter what happens, even if i'm in an unfamiliar environment, i know i'm safe.. :)

Trust Him! :)

Open Heavens Conference

Been quite busy lately that i haven really been blogging.. and there are just so many things that i wanna blog about! Cos God has really been blessing me a lot and there's just so so much to tell of His goodness and love... He's been dealing with a lot of things in my life and showing me a lot of stuff even in Vacation Bible School and during the recent Open Heavens conference and He's been speaking and giving promises and i'm just enjoying it all.. so to start, i wanna talk about Open Heavens conference cos it's the "freshest" in my mind...

When i went for the opening night on friday, i was reeling from some kind of headache cos the night before i just didn't sleep properly and something i ate didn't quite agree with me.. i didn't feel so well throughout the day, even when i went for vacation Bible school in the morning.. and i recognised that that feeling was a spiritual attack.. cos we went into warfare during Gatekeepers the night before and that Friday, there were just a lot of things that God wanted to do in my life through those sessions that i was going to attend that the enemy wanted to hinder me from going... but all the more i went! in the morning, God already showed me i was healed and that i was to stand fast in that.. and so i did..

i carried that headache all the way to Katong in the evening.. i told God that i was still going for the conference no matter cos i wanted the impartation and no headache was gonna stop me.. i wanna encourage whoever's reading this to ask yourself.. how hungry are you for the anointing? i knew i had to be there no matter what the price... and it was all worth it.. the panadol i took thanks to my xiaomei helped me for a while but it kinda returned... but soon after worship started, the headache left completely! Praise the Lord!

So the presence of God came.. andrew was worship leading and my mind wasn't really focusing on God at first cos i was just observing and taking in the sights and sounds of it all.. like what song they were singing.. and how andrew seems to have gone another level in his worship-leading... but then the anointing hit me and God arrested me and very soon, i couldn't help but focus on Jesus... that was only during the first song!

Was just filled with so much love for Jesus and i was already crying during the first song! The songs andrew chose really spoke to me and awakened within me a greater passion to know Jesus.. it was like as if i was taken from my thoughts and in the next moment, worshipping God and saying how beautiful He is.. i was longing for Him as the Bridegroom King and inside of me, i was really feeling such strong desires that i knew i'll die without Him! I saw the angels come and clothe me with a white garment and put rings on my fingers... and it was just the first night! The speaker that night, Leslie Ann Leighton challenged me to just allow the Holy Spirit to take over and do what He wants to do in my life and for me not to limit Him...

Then i went with Jk to the morning session the next day... i had to wake up quite early to get to Katong and i didn't sleep much considering the fact that i reached home late the night before.. but i woke up with such an alertness.. even in my spirit.. i felt the presence of God with me that morning and there were songs in the spirit as i woke up... It was because of the favour of God that i could go for the morning sessions cos i didn't sign up at all! But during the week, Pastor Ban came and handed me two 'guest' passes cos he remembered that i told him i wanted to go.. and it was really a divine appointment.. the 'guest' passes enabled us to sit in front (cos the front area was reserved for guests only).. what a priviledge! It was only the favour and grace of God!

The morning sessions with Leslie Ann and Heidi Baker really spoke to me how i really needed to be dependent on the Holy Spirit and to yield to Him.. it's like i had enough running my life on my own and it's time for Him to take over... I had a realization of how i've been limiting Him and how He moves cos i restrict Him with my prayers and my mindsets.. but think about it.. if i yeild to Him more, how much more will He bring! God was really dealing with me!

The evening session at Expo was good! It was highly amusing when i was there by myself, trying to "prepare the way" by booking a row of 13 chairs for the bunch of us that went... and i unashamedly ransacked alvin's bag for a plethora of reading material which i used to "chope" the seats.. muahahaha... i was so glad that gideon and lele went and i was quite proud that the both of them and jaron went to pray for the ppl in front when Heidi Baker asked those under 16 to lay hands and pray for the sick.. i was so happy that they had the boldness to do it.. honestly, if it was me i really doubt that i would have gone up...

When i went up for the altar call that night, God began to deal with me.. i heard Him ask me something like "You really want this?" three times... then He told me that He had to heal my heart first and He mentioned a specific area in my life.. (and God brought immediate confirmation cos when i got up from the altar later, i checked my handphone and someone messaged me about that same area)... He was showing me how He needed to deal with the apathy and the coldness in my heart so that i can administer that to others too and so that i can stand in intercession for my generation.. i saw His fire go through my body and i received an impartation from Him that night...

The last night of the conference ended with a blast! During the worship, the Lord showed me 12 loaves of bread and i asked Him what that was and He told me that those were the bread of the nations... And guess what.. Heidi preached about bread that night, about how Jesus is the Bread of Life in relation to missions and evangelism... The Lord was showing me more about His call upon me.. Heidi gave a call to those were called to full time missions and i responded... we were supposed to kneel down on the stage.. as i stepped onto the stage, i was shaking inside my spirit.. deep down inside i knew the seriousness of the call and the price that is required even as Heidi was reinforcing it through the microphone...

when someone prayed for me, i fell backwards into this awkward position cos my knees were still "kneeling" but my upper body was down backwards.. and i couldn't bring my legs out cos i didn't wanna kick anyone cos there was no space.. and then later i heard Heidi say into the microphone something like "help his legs!" and when i opened my eyes to look, there she was referring to me! :P i quickly brought my legs into a sitting position instead...

but anyway, i felt the fire go through my body even as i saw it coming down.. i was shaking violently receiving the impartation.. Heidi later laid hands on my heart as they were imparting the "fire of love" and i knew i received something.. i felt that there was still the touch of God there even after she had removed her hands.. the Holy Spirit also spoke to me and gave me a promise... I had to get up early the next day cos school started at 8 and i had to get to clementi by then.. but i was glad i still went for the night session nonetheless! I'm really thankful to God for really blessing me these past few days!

No regrets! :D

Huh?

It's been a long while since i last blogged and i've been busy attending vacation bible school in church and going out after that.. the sessions in church are really relevant and useful while going out with dee, joel and alicia is making me feel so young again... really thank God for how everyday with Him is a blessing! :D

there are just so many things i wanna blog about so i think i'll just put them in succeding posts... but anyway, just wanna thank God for His presence, especially on saturday when we went for worship prac before youth service... i kept seeing fire.. even as i looked at my song sheets, i saw fire in the songs that i chose for that session.. the presence of God was just so strong... and the Holy Spirit came so fast that even in the first song, i already saw the fire..

so what happened was i saw the fire of God come down in a whirlwind towards the left side of the room... den as we practised, the presence of God came down and i started shaking.. the holiness of God came into the place.. later on, we released the worship anointing upon the musicians and somehow, i moved over to the left side of the room and i really got caught in the whirlwind.. as in literally, i started spinning and jumping, knowing that there was impartation going on.. and at that moment, the unseen realm was like just so real.. it's just so nice to have the Holy Spirit come and mess you up.. :) hmmm... somehow it seems that during practices, we experience such a great sense of His presence but when ppl come to worship during the service, some carry a "huh?" on their faces...

We need to come with a sense of expectation, with a desire and expectancy to meet with the living God.. we need to be looking out for what is really precious.. it makes me mad when we treat the Holy Spirit like a "huh?", like a strange phenomena.. He's God and when He comes, we have to have that welcoming and receiving attitude, no matter how He comes! We need to be able to recognise what is truly precious and treat God like that, with the respect and reverence due Him!

We need eyes that see, ears that hear and hearts that understand...

The Heart...

In this season when the Lord is doing a work in my life of changing perspectives and dismantling old mindsets, i'd just like to share lessons i've learned yesterday and over the course of a few weeks which i believe is relevant not just for my life but also for the ministry... God is changing my perspective and in this season, He wants me to think about people, to focus on people.. not to see ministry as a chain of events, activities or tasks that need to be implemented but to see ministry as a living breathing entity composed of people.. we are one body and a body moves, a body moves as one, with one heart, one mind, one purpose... its a shift from thinking and praying for activities to thinking and praying for people... cos we're building lives and lives are the ones that are important.. Jesus gave His life for people, not for events or activities, and in this hour, i believe the Lord is calling us to a paradigm shift to see ministry in terms of lives and not events.. He will open up our eyes to the value of every life that He entrusts to our care and when He finds us faithful with them, He'll give us more... :)

I've talked about how the Lord has been dealing with me in my previous post on the whirlwind.. how He has been crushing and breaking away my perfectionism and so on.. yesterday, as i was talking to Him, He was just showing me why He was doing it and it just somehow clicked in my mind yet again as i knew what He was trying to do.. during this time, somehow, the Lord has been causing my spiritual disciplines to fail... like when i would resolve to do a fast but would compromise here and there... not only was he dealing with perfectionism, pride and self-reliance.. He was getting to my heart.. and He was telling me how my spiritual disciplines would fail if i don't have the heart behind them... More important than the disciplines themselves is the heart behind them.. Why do i wanna do what i do? Why do i go through so much? Is it to prove something to myself, to God, to others? Is it to show that i have "made it"? That i have "arrived" somewhat?? Cos He looks at the heart and not the external going through the motion of spiritual disciplines in themselves.. Spirtual disciplines are not an end in themselves- they're a means by which we seek God but the end of it, the goal should be God Himself, not to have that strong sense of satisfaction, pride and relief, sighing "aaahhhhhh" as if i'm so proud of myself having completed some rigorous exercise routine... Cos to Him, the pursuit is important and it's more important to have a seeking heart than a striving body.. He wants me to have the heart of David, a heart that is seeking after Him.. and when i get the heart right, then the spiritual disciplines will fall in place.. Even as i learn to depend on Him and cry out to Him to make my heart right in the first place.. "Give me the heart to pursue You, Lord!" "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." 2 Corinthians 4:7 First things first...

Yesterday, i've asked God why issit that my walk with Him and my desire for Him is so inconsistent.. like i can be desiring Him one moment and yet feeling so bo chap another and i felt that He was telling me that its cos i take me eyes off Him.. for my spiritual walk to be consistent, i must be consistently beholding Him.. and as i seek Him, evrything will fall into place, the rest of my life will fall into place and He will make my paths straight... :)

The other lesson God has been teaching me is on intercession.. how it's time we don't pray for events but we pray for people... i wanna confess something to you.. you may think that i really like to pray and yeah sometimes i do but many times i'm lazy and really, i haven been praying enough, especially for my LG and for the ministry.. i really feel inside me that my prayer life is far short from what God expects of me.. And God knows how i don't like to pray, especially having to go through names of people one by one and spending time almost repetitively praying the same thing each one of them every day.. it's about the heart, remember, not going through the motion... but God showed me a different way of praying.. It was as if He would ask me "who's in your heart?" And i ask myself that question.. "who's in my heart" and i'd pray for those names that the Lord has carved into the intercessory walls of my heart... it doesn't just work for people... it also works for God.. what i mean is, if God is on my heart and there are just so many things to thank Him for and i just wanna spend some time talking to Him about how great He is, i'll do that.. when praying for people, the Holy Spirit would cause some names to pop up and i'd just take a short time praying for them and remembering them before the Lord whenever i can... It's not about carrying some logistics list of who's involved in what in the ministry but it's God who adds names into our hearts and the Holy Spirit brings them to our remembrance at the appropriate time! :) That way, i learn not just to pray but also to love.. to love those people i'm praying for...

then the Lord allows my intercessory position to be tested... friction happens between me and some people.. and i have a choice whether to become bitter or better about it.. if i become bitter, would they still be in the intercessory walls of my heart? Would i still love them enough to pray for them? Like how Jesus, who is now interceding at the right hand of the Father went on the cross before that and interceded for His enemies, the very people who crucified Him. "Father forgive them for they know not what they do..." When my position is tested, will i still pray for those who i don't really feel like praying for? I remember a few years back when a few friends of mine made it to the top of my prayer list only for me to have some kind of friction against them... and then i wasn't mature enough to learn my lesson so, hurt from the experience, i stopped praying for them.. not that i started cursing (though i was seriously contemplating it... that's how bad it went...) but i didn't really feel like praying for them anymore... when their lives kinda went on a downward spiral, inside, my wicked heart kinda gloated over it almost as if "haha.. serves them right!" and i was blinded to the puposes of God almost as if saying "haha.. that's their reward for what they've sown.. and God made sure they got it!" I was blinded to the purposes of God in me interceding for the ones who hurt me... took me some time to get over that... Now the question arises.. if i had continued to pray and interceded for them, would their lives have entered that unnecessary peiod of a downward spiral in the first place? yeah i was young and immature but there's no excuse.. only now have i realised the full extent of how i failed that assignment... but its time we break some walls in our intercession and how can we break walls if certain walls and barriers to love are not broken in our own lives and minds??

That's why i cry out "enlarge my heart, Lord!!!" the larger your heart, the more you'll be able to pray for people and love them.. it's not my business whether they hurt me or not.. it's my business how i react to it.. or respond.. Christ must be formed in our hearts and God does that by giving us opportunities to choose whether to become bitter or better, whether to bless or to gloat, whether to love those who hurt us or simply not care... when we choose to bless, God blesses us.. not just externally but also internally by enlarging our hearts and giving us a greater capacity to love.. Even when people have hurt you, it also becomes a struggle to keep your heart soft before God and choosing to remain vulnerable even if it becomes really painful... The softer our hearts, the more God can use us in intercession.. are we bitter against someone? are we willing to allow God to deal with those areas of our lives and cry out to Him for the grace and let go of our bitterness? Prayer is just as about changing us (the way we move, live, see things, the way we operate) as it is about changing the situations and people around us... As i am faithful in loving and praying for the people God has put in my heart, He's gonna increase and put more people in.. i want the walls of my heart to contain the names of nations and people i've never even met before.. how willing are you for God to take you in the hights, depths and trials of intercession? :) There's so much more i haven't touched!

So... who's in your heart today? ... ;)

Watchnight

I entered through those familiar glass doors, bringing my friend Appetite with me... We were greeted by my other familiar friends: The Roasted Brothers (Roast Chicken and Roast Beef), Shepherd's Pie, Potato Salad, among others... we saw them build a colony upon the continent called the Dinner Table... it was a delightful scene of exploration even as Chris and his sidekick Appetite started to map out the territory, pre-empting a battle strategy of how to conquer it cohesively before the rest of the crowd does...

Ok... that was my fair share of nonsense... but i enjoyed myself yesterday at watchnight's service.. by God's grace we managed to perform "testify to love" with only little practice... the worship led by the Hokkien ministry team was nice and i could really feel God's presence even though i don't really know how to sing some of the songs... Philo's drumming is still in good shape.. i really miss her playing.. she's really a very anointed drummer... was really encouraged by some of the testimonies that i heard from people... esp. Joshua and Auntie Jenny...

It was really fun listening to JJ and Abel translate the Chinese skit.. and they did it so literally.. (tian=sky, xiong ge= bear brother)... they made the drama seem more like a comedy.. lol.. I'm so pleased with Jon Jon cos he said i looked 18!!! muahahaha.. and it was amazing to see Rayson make that boo boo with his cup full of grape seeds.. :P maybe he got drunk eating fresh grapes?? :P :P Amazing grapes!!! :D haha.. and i'm so proud of the bunch of you for choosing to stay on... :) after service went to jerry's house to celebrate and i got a kick at guessing correctly that that guy with a british accent was the villain of the movie...

haha...fun! :)
