tired. really pretty tired. Lord, your strength please.

thats God's Work i guess. You know, i'm thinking like when LeeLian (church worker) leaves, who's gonna take over her position.. coz her role is so important, i mean, every role is just as important, but looking at the situation. we pray.

A detailed update on mission trip:

We were part of this Christian training camp which taught the Malaysian Christians how to share the gospel. The Christians came from many parts of Malaysia, and the turn out was a hundred over. The first day they were taught the gospel contentt and why should they share the gospel, followed by creative methods of evangelism. So at the end of the day they had to decide which method were they going to use to share the gospel during an evangelistic event the next day.

Thank God! around a hundred non-Christians turned up the next day, and all of them heard the gospel. So the rest of the days were spent contacting those who are interested to find out more about the gospel, thank God i've managed to meet a few of them for EBS. I thank God for each and single student i've managed to meet and who heard the gospel. The harvest is plentiful, workers are too few, i'm reminded to pray for my malaysian co-workers.

Aside from that, we did manage to eat a lot of good food..
thank God!

back from Mission Trip.

i went with this group of 6 other Christians. Supposedly the more mature ones, but kaboom, it was crazy and so much noise. ha.. really really crazy. never laughed so much in a mission team before. So we didn't feel so stressful. ha. we spent a lot of xiao times at different places, doing different things, together. thank God for that. ha.. really i think we were the craziest mission team.

Thank God for the fresh new experiences we had. We did evangelism right at the school gate! Our follow-up party which we spent a lot of time and effort to prepare, saw a single guy turn up. But thank God the show went on despite the number(s). The life is still as important. Thank God encouragements flown both ways from the Malaysian co-workers and us.

I realised the Malaysian team has experienced/is experiencing so many difficulties. Their need is great. I'm gonna keep them in prayers. They've been so encouraging in that they've survived these difficulties purely trusting in the grace of God and the strength from God. They count their blessings and thank God. SO many times the work has been difficult, but God has been good to them.
May God continue to bless their work.

I joined in this Fantasy Tennis thingy. And shockingly, the 1st round of competition saw me getting a commendable 57th position in the entire world! ha... i didn't know lor, coz i'm not really sure of how to play. So i just left it there, and who knows, the unfancied players did so well unexpectedly in the 1st tournament they count in the Fantasy Tennis. So it just so happened that i chose these players. wahhaa.. 57 leh!

work also tomorrow.

some Christians boast about the wrong things, some remain arrogant no matter how many times people point out their mistakes to them, many are just blinded by their own arrogance to see their mistakes. Many are contented by a 'one-off-feel-good-thing', which brings satisfaction, but of no value in God's kingdom nor their lives. You know what i'm saying? a 1-off thing that strikes them to think about Godly stuffs, may be a Saturday night sermon, an encouraging thing, a Quiet Time passage, an experience which makes you feel inspired, makes you want to make a immediate resolution to work on an area for godliness. But you know what, you're not addressing that problem that you have inside you, you're just making yourself 'feel' more godly to cover up whatever ambiguous things you've done.

O Lord, what does it take to reveal to themselves their really really dirty, stinky, filthy, rotten, degenerated, perverted inside?

grrr... i know how stupid i was to be arrogant, how sinful and how i've been misled and blinded by my own arrogance. So its soo hurting to see Christian(s) i know of who's also like that (according to my own judgment which may be wrong).

i'm rushing out a powerpoint teaching presentation. JiaYan logged on to tell me something very exciting just an hour ago, 35 non-Christians are turning up for CHASE! praise the Lord! continue to pray for the event ya!

thank God i held my temper just now, my parents had wanted me to follow them for dinner down beside my house, which in normal circumstances i will, but today i just wanted to stick myself in front of the computer to complete this task which i know i'll take very very very long to complete. So thank God i didn't lose it, nor did i pull a long face. so i did join them afterall for a little while.

So i'm listening to Spice Girls now. I somehow love my generation of songs.

Let love lead the way.

I'm thankful for my results! :) a C, A, C, and a B3, turned out to be more surpising than expected. So i'm very thankful to God for the A levels, looking back the past 2 years, which has been so rough, so tough, i thank God i was able to PULL through. My results are given by God, so thank You Lord, all glory to God.

Congratulations to Shao Ning, Eunice, Zheng Wei for the wonderful showing, may You also bring glory to God!
Lets learn to encourage and comfort those who didnt fare just as well, helping them to reach an understanding that God is ultimately in control.

melodramatic was the compelling word that Joyce (a staff) used to describe me hours before 230pm on Friday. ha.. i'm so thankful my supervisor and Joyce followed me to school, although i didn't like the idea all the while, ha... good thing we were late, so we missed most of the principal's announcing of the top scorers etc.

I caught up with my econs teacher, i guess i was getting kinda welled up in my emotions then, my emotions went like erm.. 'thank you because you're the teacher who ...'

pray: a fruitful, purposeful week used to the fullest.

what can i get for an overseas friend who's here on holiday to bring back home?
any good ideas please post on tagboard thanx.

anyway, i'm disturbed by something.
it requires discernment. the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, ready to devour the unsuspecting.
