The Highway To Heaven

2008-12-10T00:19:00.000+08:00

As Christians we all drive on the highway to heaven. Our Lord God intended for all mankind to go to heaven, but sin entered the world and man chose to drive the other way. You and I both have driven on what we both thought was the highway to heaven. As we are driving down this long road of life, we see a hitchhiker. He has long hair, a beard, his clothes look dirty and worn-out and you look closer, you think this man must be carrying the sins of the world on his shoulders. So, without a second thought you drive by him saying I have no need for this person. As you drive down the road of life you see another hitchhiker. You see this person and you think to yourself, hmmm I like this guy, He has everything in life I want. I think I’ll give him a ride. Now your life takes a turn for the worse. What you thought was going to bring you joy and happiness, now brings you unbearable problems, sickness, disease, lust, and hate.

Now you are on the highway to Hell. There is no stop signs, or speed limits, just one long dark road leading you to a dead end of life. As you are desperately trying to think to yourself how can I get off this road, life is getting harder to deal with, people have turned on me, I have no one to love me, I am losing control of my own life what can I do? I want to die and get it over with. As that wasn’t enough to deal with, you see the end of the highway to Hell. You see darkness. You hear cries of anguish, you feel pain and torment and you smell death in the air. The gates of Hell are opening wide, ready to take you in and keep you forever and ever. Right before you enter you look and you see that same hitchhiker you saw a long time ago. (You know the one with long hair and worn-out clothes.) With both of his arms open wide looking at you and calling your name. You look in his eyes and you can see hope, forgiveness, eternal life, and love. So you pull over and you let Him into your life. Now you are on the highway to heaven were the roads are paved with gold.

Miss u guys~

2008-03-05T12:29:00.003+08:00

It's been 9 months since I last stepped down from leadership and left the CG. And nobody has been updating this blog.. So I think I ought to do something about it.

I just want to let you know that you guys are the most wonderful group of people that I've ever known. Always so supportive and loving towards me. I left with much sorrow and burdens. Though I was disheartened by the many who left, I was encouraged by those who stayed and kept on walking this walk of faith.

For a few months, I kept blaming myself for stepping down and causing the souls to leave the kingdom of God. Although I know perfectly that those who are not grounded will leave eventually. I felt that these people loved me more than they loved God and it was my fault that I did not get them to love God more. Anyway, I'm past that stage of self condemnation. I know that I'm just an imperfect person doing what God has called me to do back then. I'm imperfect as it is and I should move on to do other things that He has called me to do rather than to keep blaming myself and couldn't move on in life.

I do miss the times that we shared as a family, the times that we hugged each other every time we meet or leave, the times of joy and sadness, etc.. They will always be beautiful memories in my heart. Memories that will never be washed away. I believe friendship goes beyond the label W220. Many of us are still keeping in touch despite not being in the same CG. Though the times that we meet may have decreased, I believe our heart for one another still holds.. We will never be in the same CG forever because we'll grow and go through different seasons in our lives.

With that, I have a few questions to ask:

1. Is the state of your heart the same as the state of this blog? Have you stopped in 2007 and not moved on to 2008?

2. Have you been hanging on too much till you've not moved on?? (got this phrase from Val's blog and I think it makes a whole lot of sense)

3. Has the beautiful memories in W220 become a boundary in your life that you can't climb over it and create other beautiful memories with other groups of people?

These are some thoughts after reading some blogs. And I wonder how many will get to read this entry. But I wish to say that I love all of you and I wish for the best of all of you.. to move on and be the best that you can be in every place that God has put you in, because YOU are a Child of God. I believe in YOU, always!

P/S: Love is what we bring into the place that we are in. WE create a loving environment.

Often we want the best for ourselves,
The best team of people to give us the best knowledge
But to you know if not of the trial of these people & hardships which they gone through
How will we be able to learn from them now

When we walk out and view the world,we can see the beautiful of life
When we are hungry ,we can eat
Our parents and friends are still alive
When we are happy,we can shout
When we are sad,we can cry
Why those around us are so precious and nice
And we take them for granted
If we have eyes,we still can see
If we have ears,we still can hear
If we have legs,we still can walk
Even when we are sick,but still we survive
No matter how hard it can be,as long as we are alive,be grateful
When we are healthy,we can choose the type of drinks we want
Often some of you may not like to drink plain water
But do you know if you are seriously sick,you will even have difficulty drinking
and will need to absorb bits by bits on the mouth
On normal case,we want sunshine
But at times,we will feel that the light is just too glaring for us

You may have hate a person for the serious wrong he/she has done
And will not forgive him/her
But do you know at times of emergency, if he/she is so willingly to come forward to save you,to protect you from danger
At that moment,will your heart drops and tears flow down?

Let the love moves once again

Are you a life fighter or one who gives up easily?

感动的故事

2007-07-17T23:16:00.000+08:00

年輕人喜歡上了在便利商店打工的女孩，

他每天都會到女孩工作的店裏買一包香煙，

漸漸的兩人開始互相熟悉。

但女孩工作感到無聊乏味的時候，或者是心情不好的時候，

年輕人就會出現，

他會陪女孩說説話，或是逗逗她開心。

女孩也知道年輕人好像喜歡上自己了，可是自己已經有很要好的男朋友了，

面對年輕人的如此關懷，自己也不知道如何婉拒他。

有一天商店外頭運來了一台娃娃機，女孩很喜歡裏面的娃娃，

年輕人知道了以後，就去夾了一只娃娃送給女孩，

當天他終于向他表白，希望女孩能接受他，

不知如何是好的女孩，只能殘忍的告訴年輕人，他和她是不可能的，

因爲她已經有心愛的男朋友了，

年輕人聼了之後默默的點點頭，

只是自己對女孩的喜歡已經超出自己所預期的，

他不死心的問女孩，自己真的沒有機會了嗎？

善良的女孩不忍心看到原本開朗風趣的年輕人變得如此消沉寡默，

於是她手指着娃娃機裏面的絨毛娃娃說，

除非你夾滿100個娃娃，而且一天只能夾一個。

原來女孩希望用時間來沖淡年輕人對自己的感情，

她心想，一天夾一個娃娃，最快也要三個多月之後才有100個，

而且年輕人應該不會真的有耐心夾滿100個娃娃吧！

這三個月的時間，她會盡量與男孩保持距離，

她決心讓兩人恢復到店員與顧客的關係。

年輕人還是每天到商店來，可是女孩開始變得冷淡，

他總是試着聊一些女孩有興趣的話題，不過女孩依然愛理不理。

因爲她知道唯有這樣做，才不會讓年輕人越陷越深，

年輕人或許是感覺到女孩的用意，

於是他每天夾娃娃，有時運氣好加一兩次就中了，

有時運氣差，零用錢花光了也夾不到，只好跟朋友借錢繼續夾，

一直到夾中爲止。

無論花多少錢花多少時間，他每天一定會夾一個娃娃，

只是他無法與女孩分享夾到娃娃的喜悅，

因爲他知道女孩有意要避開他，

爲了怕影響到女孩的情緒，他只能在櫥窗外微笑的對女孩點點頭。

好幾次，看到年輕人因爲夾到娃娃興高采烈的樣子，

女孩都想要沖出去對他說，

我是騙你的，你不要再夾了，就算你真的夾到100個娃娃，我跟你也是不可能的！

但是一想到年輕人希望破滅的樣子，女孩就於心不忍，

她只能不斷猶豫。

就這樣1天，2天，3天。。。。年輕人的娃娃數量不斷的增加，

而女孩刻意與年輕人保持距離的結果，則是讓自己在工作的時候更顯孤單。

不知道是哪一天，女孩子因爲在外地工作的男朋友無法囘來陪她過18嵗的生日，

與男友吵了一架，

而那天年輕人仍一如往常的來到便利商店，

不同的是那天年輕人竟走進了店裏，

他對女孩說，

可不可以破例讓他在今天夾兩個娃娃回去，

可是因爲和男友吵架而心情不佳的女孩，很生氣的當場拒絕了他，

就這樣，年輕人走到娃娃機旁，默默的夾了一個娃娃回去，

在年輕人離開的時候，他對櫥窗裏的女孩看了一眼。

隔天以後，年輕人再也沒有來夾娃娃了，

剛開始女孩雖然覺得奇怪，但是仍然慶幸自己終于放下了心中的大石塊，

可是漸漸的，她突然覺得不習慣，

因爲那個每天都會爲了她來夾娃娃的熟悉蹤影，

好像空氣一樣就消失不見了，

這是女孩才發現到，

原來她心中的失落感遠遠超過年輕人所帶給她的負擔，

只是一切都。。。。。

女孩開始想念以前年輕人來店裏陪她聊天的點點滴滴，

哪怕他只是站在櫥窗外頭沉默不語的夾娃娃，

似乎都會帶給她莫名的安全感，

所以女孩每天上班時，總是不斷的擡頭張望，

那個熟悉的身影來了嗎？

可惜的是，年輕人始終沒出現，只剩下那台沒人使用的娃娃機。

有一天，女孩下班后，在店門口遇到了以前常和年輕人一起來的朋友，

她焦急地問他年輕人的下落，可是年輕人的朋友則是一臉黯然，

他帶女孩來到年輕人的傢，

但他開啓年輕人的房門的門時，映入女孩眼簾的是一群娃娃機裏面的絨毛娃娃，

以及躺在床上動也不動的年輕人。

原來年輕人的脊椎有病，必須要開刀才能保住性命，

可是開刀有一半的幾率會失敗而導致全身癱瘓，

年輕人在開刀的前一天晚上，也就是女孩和男朋友吵架的那一天，

希望女孩給她機會夾兩個娃娃，因爲他已經累積有98個了，

然而卻遭到女孩的囘拒，

隔天之後，年輕人手術不幸失敗變成植物人，

年輕人的母親拿了一封信給女孩，那是年輕人在手術之前寫好的：

其實我早就知道，就算夾到了100個娃娃，

妳也不可能會喜歡我，

我之所以這麽做，並不是故意要造成你的困擾，

而是希望在我有限的時間裏，

證明我曾經很用心的去愛一個人，這樣就足夠了，

如果你看到了這封信，

那表示我再也無法為你夾娃娃了，

對不起，

或許我的努力還不夠吧，

沒能夾到100個娃娃親手送換。。。

女孩看着床邊的99個絨毛娃娃，那是99顆無法承受的真心，

眼眶裏的淚水早已決提而出。。

隔天女孩來到年輕人的家裏，

她將第100個絨毛娃娃放到年輕人的手中，

這時已變成植物人的他，

眼睛留下了淚水。。。

心情篇

2007-07-06T11:45:00.000+08:00

昨日我的心很乱，很不安
一整天就快要结束了
为何她们还没告诉我要哪首歌呢
可能不需要您吧
别人都不急，您又何必关心呢
好吧就压抑自己别问了
可是因为我在意，所以我还是小提了：“明日不用唱了吗？”
说了就算了，为何又小气
结果让双方进入安静
人真的再一次让我失望了
我好气好气她
我决心退出MOBLOG，后DELETE AS CONTRIBUTOR
我拿掉在FRIENDSTER的照片
问人如何叉掉她的联系
连MSN 也拿掉了
我不去理了
让我早日再投入工作的怀抱吧

我为何那样生气呢？
如果我与一人没感情，我就不会有感觉了
更不会在意所得或做的东西
往往一个巴掌拍不响的
那需要互动的

我不想活在过往
但那段日子是就好的
虽艰难，我们一起走过
如今慧文和佳慧，你们都不在这了

有时跟A 君和 B 小姐说话
不是没答，就是转移到别的东西去
这样下去，我还敢分享吗？

或许一个人会更精彩。。。
我行我素
不在为别人而难过
影响心情

波浪高高低低
飘浮不定

Let this light keep shining...

2007-06-27T21:25:00.000+08:00

He was tired and aching and on his way home from a long day at work, so he almost didn't see

the old lady stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day he could see she

needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His old Pontiac was still

sputtering as he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had

stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked

poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew

how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you. He said, "I'm here to help you,

ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan

Anderson." Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan

crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two.

Soon he was able to change the tire. As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the

window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just

passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid. Bryan just smiled as he

closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all

right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not

stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was

helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the

past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. He

told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed

help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, "Pass it on." He

waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt

good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight. A few miles down the road the lady

saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last

leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The

whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe

her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't

erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the

strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little

could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan . After the lady finished her meal,

she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred

dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress

came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something

written on the napkin. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: "This

isn't a tip, it's a gift. You don't owe me anything. Somebody once helped me out and if you feel

you want to pay me back, don't let this chain of love end with you, pass it on." Under the napkin

were four more $100 bills. Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to

serve, but the waitress made it to closing time. That night when she got home from work and

climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could

the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month,

it was going to be hard.... She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to

her, she gave him a gentle kiss and whispered soft and low, "Everything's going to be all right. I

love you, Bryan Anderson." There is an old saying "What goes around comes around." Let this

light keep shining. Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they

are always there.

Grace Upon Grace

2007-05-02T23:30:00.000+08:00

Grace upon grace

For reading & meditation: John 1:1-17
"And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace." (v.16, RSV)

Today we ask: What purpose does God have in leading us into situations which are uncertain and ambiguous? He does so in order that we might learn to depend on Him and not on ourselves.

Just as in times of loneliness we learn to realise His presence,
so in times of uncertainty we learn to realise His power.

The major reason why our lives are unfruitful lies right here: we depend more on our own strength than we do on His. How can God teach us dependence unless He puts us into situations which are so uncertain that we are compelled either to choose the way of frustration or the way of faith?

And if we draw back from entering such situations, we will miss a valuable spiritual education and our lives will become barren.

A statement I came across some time ago sums up what I want to say concerning ambiguity and uncertainty. It is this: "God's purposes are always God's enablings."

In other words, when God steers you into strange and uncertain situations, He will keep you very much in the dark concerning His purposes, but He will not leave you bereft of His grace.

The purpose of God and the grace of God are two sides of the one coin. If you accept the purpose, you get the grace; if you refuse the purpose, you annul the grace. Anything God purposes for you, He gives you the grace to perform.

John speaks in our text for today of "grace upon grace". One preacher I know translates that text like this: "Use the grace I give you and rest assured - there will always be more to follow."

Prayer:
O Father, how wonderful it would be if I could master this lesson today, and become a living illustration of "grace upon grace". May it be so, to the honour and glory of Your peerless and precious Name. Amen.

Are you weary of doing good?

2007-04-30T20:08:00.000+08:00

Hey W220,

Seemed like no one is blogging. I shall blog and share what I feel. Are you guys weary of doing good? I can feel the LETHARGY in some people and my faith leaks when I see that. Was kind of disappointed that its already Monday and SOME OF YOU who can't go for Family Day actually didn't tell me until I asked. Is there no initiative or courtesy at all to even inform me early before hand if you know that you can't come? Have we come to a stage whereby you don't even care? I am burdened. Seriously burdened by the state that we are in.

If there's anything that I've done wrongly, or I've wronged you, I'm sorry. Pls let me know. Don't keep it to yourself. Let me know what I can improve on and do to serve you better. A lot of you are busy. I am busy too. I missed the times when people will come to me and "complained" that I didn't spend time with them. Nowadays, no one complained and not many stayed. Why? We can't coexist with people from W362? Seriously, someone pls enlighten me what is wrong. I need help from all of you.

Thanks.

What have you done?

2007-04-19T03:32:00.000+08:00

Dear all,

I was just praying for a few people and thought of some things which I wanna share from my heart.

We always stressed that we are a family. We must love one another. We must care and help one another. I wonder how many of us are really putting LOVE into ACTIONS. I wonder how many of you realised that Zheming, Kenneth, Daniel and Shaun have not been joining us for a period of time. I wonder how many of you realised that Oswin only comes for service and always left without fellowshiping. I wonder how many of you make an effort to call them and find out what happened to them. I wonder how many of you bothered to even sms or call them to encourage them. I wonder how many of you prayed for them during your quiet time. I wonder how many of you will love them so much that you'll cry for them when you pray for them. I wonder how many of you care for others more than you care for yourself. I wonder how many of you can go beyond yourself, your own comfort group of people and share your love with those that really needs it at their lowest point in life. I know some of you do, but I really wonder how about the rest.

Friends, if no one is going to do anything to even care for them, no wonder they don't even want to come even after I've talked to them. No one will want to come to a CG where no one loves them. No one will want to come to a CG whose members only talk among themselves and no one else outside their group. I cut and pasted Pastor Phil's ENLARGE for all of you. How have you applied that in your life? Have you done something to at least try?

My heart is burdened! Very burdened. I don't want to lose any of them. Everyone is precious in God's eyes. I can't do all these alone. I need all of us to really show our care and concern for these people. If we can't do it, no matter how many people God add into our CG, we'll not be able to keep the people. GENUINE LOVE and CONCERN is the key to building a STRONG FAMILY in CHRIST.

Dear all, this is from Phil Pringle's Leadership Files. Do take some time to read and internalise what it means. Let's enlarge!

ENLARGE

'Enlarge the place of your tent.' - Isaiah 54

As we get larger, we must get larger.
It's impossible to run a large organisation like a small one.
Bigger groups attract bigger people.
We have to become bigger people to handle bigger people.
Enlargement means - I get more generous;
I widen my acceptance of others; I'm more merciful;
I plan bigger, longer, grander plans; I stretch!
I cope with more.
I have more patience, greater love, stronger joy, firmer purpose.
I enlarge!

Dear beloveds,

I realised that many people has been sick lately. Can we keep one another in prayers? If you feel that you have not been close to someone in the CG, maybe what you can do is to dedicate some time everyday just to pray for that person. Prayers will break all barriers and help you to build relationships. Of cos, faith without works is dead. After praying, have some practical actions to help you build that relationship. Though the CG is BIG now, it will not function well unless ALL of us become BIG on the inside as well. Let's grow in our capacity and love for people. LOVE GOD WHOLEHEARTEDLY, LOVE PEOPLE FERVENTLY. It's not enough just to love God. We have to LOVE ONE ANOTHER as well.

Prayers for:
1. Yingjie --Stomach pain. (not sure what's the cause, but it seemed to be stomach flu)
2. Terry -- Headache and sudden lost of hearing now and then
3. Edmund -- Fever and blur vision
4. Huiqin -- Cough
5. Kim -- Headache
6. Weizhen's dad -- Heart problem that requires surgery (praying and believing that he can come for Benny Hinn's service and let God heal him miraculously)

That's all that I've heard about people not feeling well. I hope this is all. Reject all sickness and pain in Jesus' name!

Let's also commit ourselves to a healthy lifestyle by taking care of our own body, eat right, exercise right and sleep right. Let's not take God's grace for granted.

Also, we've had a harvest this Easter. Let's really help to retain all those friends that had responded. Help W362 to integrate their friends as well. Let's go beyond W220 and work for the KINGDOM of GOD. W362 and W220 belong to God. Every soul belongs to God. You, yes YOU, play a part. Onward Christian SOLDIER! Aja aja fiti!!

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire, and he told his boss of his plans to leave and live a more leisurely life with his wife. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see such a good worker go, and he asked the carpenter to build just one more house as a personal favor.

The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said. “It is my gift to you.”

The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house we have built.

If we could do it over, we’d do it much differently. But we cannot go back…

You are the carpenter of your life. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall.

Your attitudes and the choices you make today build your “house” for tomorrow…

Build wisely!

Ask God to be the Master-builder of your life!

He will show you how to build a strong foundation for the ‘house’ of your life.

Holding on to Your Faith!

Holding on to Your Faith!

Devotion:
I read a story about a little girl who was very nervous at the prospect of her first horseback ride, even though she was to be perched behind her grandfather who was an excellent rider. As her parents helped her onto the horse, she cried, "What do I do? I don't know how to ride a horse! I've never done this before! What do I do?"Her grandfather said in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry about the horse or about how to ride it. Just hold on to me, Darlin', just hold on tome."

This story reminds me of the familiar saying, "When you're at the end of the rope, hold onto your faith." That's easier said than done unless you realize that the object of your faith is a person???Jesus Christ. We always can hold onto Him.

It's when we lose touch with the Lord that we fall into fear and panic,but keeping our minds on Him in thought, prayer, and worship brings peace to our hearts and minds. Most of us have sung about this truth.Today let the words of this old faithful hymn sink deep into your soul.

What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and grief to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

We must grip tightly to our faith in Christ through prayer and mediationon a daily basis Then, whether our day is like a tried old nag or abucking -bronco, holding on to our faith keeps us in the saddle untilthe ride is over. However, if we look to ourselves or at the "beast,"whatever that may be, then we will always feel weak, helpless, andafraid. Like the grandfather, who was an excellent rider, our heavenly Father iseven greater. Christ has both hands on the reins. He knows how to ride,which direction the horse will run, and how long the journey will last.All we have to do is hold on.

Dear Lord, No matter how wild the ride gets, I trust that You are incontrol and I'm safe holding on to You, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

well done

38 international women day

2007-03-08T12:38:00.000+08:00

Some of you may be still a sweet girl enjoying your teens.
Others may be pretty ladies having crush in the things you do, always dressing up and making yourself beautiful.
Eventually you will reach a stage of becoming a modern and strong woman. Climbing high up in your career and performing so well. You will even beat the guys in the marketplace. Independent you shall be.
Do you know the most admirable person is our mother-she is one who holds us in the stomach for months and finally giving birth to us. Feeding us and growing us with lots of hardships.

On this important day, on behalf of all the guys in W220, sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts, we will like to show our deepest appreciation by acknowledging all the dearest and beloved girls, ladies and women in our cell group. Beside the Valentine Day that we celebrate before, let today be another heart-warming one for you too. All of you are GREAT and SIMPLY AWESOME.

So sorry of these 2 entries come in late cause doing other things as well

sat receive from yi hern the card
sun before service receive a hand-made from qin and after worship song,get a bottle for guys from kelson,girls receive a blue rose
wow first time get so many valentine day gift
is quite a long service on cultural mandate
First time quite tired during service
After de-brief,jiahui wants someone to pray for the sick
I first time praying and praying for quite a lot of people,terry-back,aunty-vomit,leong hwee-flu,zheming and yi hern also sick
Anyway after that,most of us preparing for a game of ball
Left seowling,yumita and kitty going for prayer meeting
We left first while the other 2 cell group still eating
We walk along the mrt track,quite a long way out to the main road,cross over to take bus 35
After alighting still need to walk a distance
Jiahui runs off to check the school gate as we approach nearer
Thank God manage to have another nearby outside courts near the school
Finally the other 2 cell group find their ways here
After the introduction,jiahui talks about the rules of the games
Each team sends a leader to draw lots
W220 consists of yi hern,kelson,huiwen,Edmund,shaun,mao and leong hwee

Terry is the timer while I am the camera man
4 teams,3 cell groups,each game 10 mins
rounds after rounds,and the overall winner is w220
Irene is here to present the awards,2 consolations with double packs each

The 2nd & lst winner have the burger king vouchers,lst prize-$30

I go out to fetch kitty and seowling

Yi hern,seowling and jiahui with others play basketball
Huiwen and Edmund play pepsi cola
Playing volleyball also
Me,huiwen,Edmund,kelson,shaun,mao,initially kitty too ,we play monkey
Jiahui left and later we also left
Kitty and seowling go off first
We go coffee shop change and terry has his meal there
Reply jiahui on attendance and tell her its my last Sunday fellowship
Previously terry also know,Edmund mentions before
Then at the bus-stop,suddenly Edmund,yi hern suggest taking photo with me
I am shocked by that
Pose with Edmund,huiwen,kelson,yi hern
All of us plus shaun and aunty,we take bus 14 to bugis,change to bus 33 near stadium
Its such a long bus ride
Finally manage to find a corner seat and seat at the foodcourt
Huiwen-yong tao fu,me-chicken chop wok rice,kelson-chicken rice,we sit together
The rest at the other table,they buy drinks and are given the food junction golden packets
After dinner,Edmund & mum go take bus,huiwen,kelson,yi hern,shaun and me take mrt
Its also the first time huiwen staying so late with us,without leaving off first
Quite a tiring but enjoyable day lah

vday cgm on 10/2/07

2007-02-27T21:28:00.000+08:00

Vday cgm on 10/2/07
Actually the ideas are there days before,just that no mood and feeling to do anything yet
Fri the 9th,I start with making the cards then doing the decoration heart line
Near late afternoon, still need to collect photo
As its near 7plus,I quickly go to take bus
51 is very slow and it comes quite late,almost 8pm
before that,I have called lijun who is on duty at river view hotel that I will be there to get the apple pie from her
initially want to use my house and it will be so prefect to do everything,but because my mum wants to make cookies so the house status is unsure,even she forwards her baking to Friday night instead of Saturday morning
jiahui ‘s house also cannot use therefore zheming’s house is chosen
I receive the praise song finally and quickly get into designing of the song sheet
Look out those origins of other valentine day and start to print
Aiyo,I make a mistake,repeating printed 1 page and its like 18 copies
Waste ink and paper ah
At last finish the last piece near 230am
Get some sleep
Wake up about 8am,then staple those papers together
Get ready,pack up,prepare game material and so on
Bath,change and set off
Reach sembawang about 11.15am,previous day already inform zheming beforehand to meet me
Onboard the train message yumita to see if she will come,happy to note her YES
Wait a while and he comes
Go ntuc with him to get spring chicken,thank God,it sells
Also get the cocktail,sprit-risberry favour
Trying to find the fried ball,but it does not have
While he’s queuing,I remember about the ice-cream,but cannot find a smaller tube,all big,big one
Not satisfied,go up the level and see an ABC shop,found the balls I want,buy the plates and cups too
Walk back to ntuc
zheming brings me to his house
starts unpacking,preparing,setting up the decoration
while he fetching the rest,I talk and play with his brother,the tuo luo and spring moving animal
huiwen calls me and surprise I have already reach
soon huiwen,jiahui,yi hern,shaun,Edmund,aunty ruby,kitty and seow ling arrive
after changing,they proceed down to change
some look shock about my wear
they decide to play at an indoor court
I be the cameraman again,help to take over and take care of things when kitty replaces seowling to play
Soon yumita arrives,I help huiwen go meet her,but seowling does not allow me
I return back to the house because terry already here
I see the roses made into a heart on the floor

We start preparing to cook the soup
Wow,it’s the first time I am cooking leh
Sooner,we like so helpful to the house that we find our own utensils and so on
We search out very cute bowls of all sizes and pictures and we cannot help laughing
Zheming’s dad is happy to assist as he permits everything,show me the room with mirror when I need to put on tie and others
They come up near 3pm
Seowling’s friend-joey ,Daniel,huiqin also arrive
When they have changed and are ready,all seated around the rose
I also don’t know why I stand up then I remember I should sit down too,wait for jiahui to start and recommend me
We self introduce for joey and shaun
As it has 15 people,odd number so I ask jiahui to assist,huiwen initially wants
Stuck a while because I don’t know how they should name themselves
Ok.,one is love ,the other is you,love--you,love—you
Jiahui helps to make them say to each other,sound so nice
I take the props and explain to them while they have formed 2 single,long line
Huiwen group do it right,terry group does wrongly in the beginning,redo
The last compete is when owsin and zheming right emerge to see who bites faster
They drink water to speed up
I present huiwen with the big tube of sweet as they are the winners
They thank me for the game
Actually I am a bit nervous at the beginning while explaining the game
I continue to give each of them the nice song sets
I make a mistake,giving seow ling one to yi hern
We praise,share testimonial
Start with me,saying the fruitful time with people and things done from 5th to 9th;thanking terry,huiwen,Edmund and zheming for making this possible;jiahui for the opportunity(referring to Thursday song sheet also) ;yumita and Daniel for coming today
Worship,the words,joey needs to make a move first,before she goes off,she actually thank me for the things
Terry makes the first sharing of his verse for the offering and we pray for it
He also mention that its my first time cooking,not even a Maggie mee before in my life
Its his first time buying flowers too
I start to keep my things when they are giving
Jiahui then hands over to me and I add terry too
Seowling no need to eat her pockies,she is so excited that I actually cook something
She wants to take a look and I can see that she is very touched and grateful for all those things prepared
She even wants me to help her with ideas on how to make it a special valentine day for her frens
She likes my hearts’ line too
The fun comes when we need to cut the chicken
Looks like no choice,terry finds the plastic cover gloves and he wears
Next huiwen and seowling join the cutting too
They realise not easy being a chicken seller
As huiqn needs to leave,I prepare the apple pie ice-cream for her
Because no proper scoop so make until not very nice
We have problems getting spoons and forks too,so all funny one come out through searching
The soup likes not enough
Soon the chicken is served
Drink also not enough and I get zheming to buy 3 more,he gets 1 sprite,1 sprite zero and green tea
Daniel wants to leave,I allow him only when he finishes the apple pie specially served first
Seowling quite good as she helps me to cut the pie and I scoop the ice-cream
I get to stop and eat my share finally
After eating,I sit down to share with her my idea,but rather hard,I can do,just don’t know how to give suggestion
The rest on table are playing guessing number game,huiwen suppose to forfeit to eat the extra apple pie ice-cream
She is smart to share with Daniel and another
Yi hern and Daniel left
I throw ball with kitty
A while later I stop to check on the condition of the kitchen
Huiwen and jiahui are clearing out
I need to take a look because I am the one who go and find everywhere for bowls,plates etc,I need to be responsible and keep the place neat
The floor suddenly becoming filled with the rose petals
Pack up because most want to leave
Hui and terry towards jurong,huiwen,kitty,yumita,seowling,Edmund,aunty and me another direction
Indeed its quite a successful valentine cell group and I think everyone enjoy and there’s a little touched and moved
Though timing is not right,playing captain ball so not very suitable to wear formal
If not it will be so ideal and perfect
Still there’s some who respect the arrangement and come wearing a pink
The poor rose,I think only yi hern and huiwen get theirs home
Its my first time doing such a surprise setting for valentine day,not a very one lah

service and game

2007-02-05T18:41:00.000+08:00

Friday service is so good that indeed I am blessed by it
Its about being blessed in the blessings.
Saturday is about missionary and when Dr Ulf asks who wants to go to China, most of them run out and it is so great
The service is amazing a three and a half enriching one
Sunday ends with being lead by the Holy Spirit
I feel so strongly after the little pastor talk & zone prayer meeting that really must be the first to move, if not people will just wait and wait and stay around till don’t know when
All the 3 days, we heard and see the special performance by the Malaysia 21 years old girl who plays the violin.

Really like to thank Edmund for the prayer during the prayer meeting and for so encouraging to push on the game
Happy to have huiqin too to join us at burger king at raffles city for the time of meal
Yi Hern’s friend-shaun and Daniel are in the restaurant with the rest of us
Huiwen’s coupon comes in time and we save on that
Huiwen,kitty and 2 other girls share the 4 person meals
We meet alex group there,sitting in front of us
I decided on route C and R2,rewrite the card and give them draw lots
Initially kitty the game facilator then change to huiwen for route R2
As soon as most finish,Edmund helps to stand up and indicate we are all ready
Terry and aunty will be hiding at wheelock place,huiqin says she joins them
I bring them out to the road, explain a bit and there they go
I arrange for huiwen to call me once she finishes the last question
Kitty cannot run fast,Edmund and I walk with her behind
Kelson is so onto it and she walks very fast,leading in front
To be fair,I didn’t give much help,only bring them back when they out of way
That’s 1 part they miss out the top m restaurant
Kitty also answer quite well for the last few questions
As the banner of Asean rock is sort of remove,I change the question
Checking on the other game and ask if they need help
I need to call terry to make sure he is hiding ready
This team is leading while the other is still at paragon
Soon they begin searching at the wheelock place
I leave them and go buy ice-cream,buy from burger king as it can get more
Huiwen asks me if the group arrives
It soon becoming exciting as both groups are in the same wheelock
1 at level 3 and the other at level 5
they meet in level 4 ,but still very difficult to search for terry
rounds and rounds,Edmund got it,but I am stuck inside an exit
we go down to level 3 to sit,all very tired
join by jiahui and leong hwee
while they resting,I ask terry to help with the marking of route C
once I finish mine,I take over to mark,faster
he really marks like a teacher,1 mark,half a mark
since jiahui is here,I give her to present the certificates

then we start to have fun taking different positions’ photos
aiyo why my ice-cream,no one wants to eat
terry mixes one into the big coke which jiahui bought
Edmund and mum left because it’s a bit late,superstar starting
Kitty left and the rest of us go shop a while
Aiyo the girls are hugging and hugging till non-stop
Kelson,shaun,yi hern join by huiwen share cab
Jiahui and leong hwee walk to mrt station
I walk with terry to forum then to tanglin mall for our meat balls soup
We walk back to orchard mrt again and I leave first
I know kitty is anxious about those photos
Quickly get it done and send her,Edmund,yi hern and jiahui
Actually quite well taken,some of it
First time taking quite a few with her too
And there’s 2 which she likes-1 sitting on pole and the other restless
Indeed its still quite a successful and fun game
Speedway will not be possible if not of her,Edmund,huiwen
Aunty and terry for willing to hide
Kelson,yi hern and shaun for participating
Thank you so much everyone
Just like previously kitty’s blog mention,is a team effort for thing to happen and work well
Actually along the way,kitty,Edmund and I already start to plan for another one that is indoor
Quite a fun one because out of the game,everyone did learn something,more of a place and other things

Ed Angels Has A Question For Everyone

2007-01-09T01:10:00.000+08:00

You don't actually have to take the quiz. Just read straight
through, and you'll get
the point, an awesome one. .....

Take this quiz:

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for

best actor actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their

fields. But the applause dies.Awards tarnish. Achievements

are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried

with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel, appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones

with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are

the ones that care. Pass this on to those people who have made a

difference in your life.

Major on the right things!

2007-01-04T12:04:00.000+08:00

Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's
owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but
how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing
ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him,
and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine
very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would
know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his
bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly,
the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine
was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for
ten thousand dollars.

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer ........................ $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap ............................ $ 9998.00

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes
all the difference.

Dear all, as we embark on a brand new chapter of our lives in this brand new year, let's not repeat the same old mistakes. Let's learn from our mistakes and do something different this yr! Do not major on the minor and minor on the major. Let's major on the major! Remember, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

It's gonna be a year of growth and greater victory for ALL of us!! I love you all!!

And whatever you do,do it heartily,as to the Lord and not to men,knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance;for you serve the Lord Christ.

Initially dun plan to share testi,but decide to

Also to general

1 Cor 12:13,21-22,24 (TLB)
Each of us is part of the one body of Christ…The eye can never say to the hand,”I don’t need you.”The head can never say to the feet,”I don’t need you.”And some of the parts that seem weakest and least important are really the most necessary…So,God has put the body together in such a way that extra honor and care are given to those parts that might otherwise seem less important.

Well,everyone is important in each own area so ..yah---

Humility- The Key To The Kingdom

2006-12-11T10:39:00.000+08:00

God wants you and me to have "remarkable success," even if we have some things in our past that we are not especially proud of.There is a man in the Bible who had remarkable success despite a very shaky start. God has chosen to use what happened in his life to help us understand what opens the kingdom of Heaven—God's grace and personal favor—over us. Our own faith will be strengthened as we look at the example of this one man, his response to stress, God's response to this man, and the favor of the Lord that followed him. The man in question is none other than Judah (Gen. 38:1-26).Judah experienced stress from both family and business—nothing unusual to any of us who spend our time and energy in the marketplace. Yet for some reason, things just went from bad to worse for him, with no end seemingly in sight.He was certainly not without fault. He deceived and misled his daughter-in-law (who was his eldest son's widow) by failing to keep his promise and allowed his third son to marry her. By doing that, he effectively cut away the source of help and provision that she was entitled to as a widow.Then Judah became physically intimate with his own widowed daughter-in-law, mistaking her for a prostitute. Without knowing her true identity, he gave her his personal seal, cord and walking staff as proof of his ability to remunerate her. As a result of their liaison, Judah's daughter-in-law became pregnant with his child, and upon revealing her condition before the man and his family, he condemned her to death. Under these dramatic circumstances, his daughter-in-law presented her defense by producing his very own seal, cord and staff, displaying Judah's own glaring guilt for all to see.He could have easily denied everything and brought her to court. As a businessman, he could have hired a top lawyer, rake up some dirt on her, fabricate an alibi, or even pay some witnesses to commit perjury in order to get himself out of the fix.But Judah did none of these things. Despite the overwhelming stress he was under, he did one important thing that caught the attention of heaven. He humbled himself before those who were with him, admitting his fault and making restitution for sins. With that response, Judah was able to step into his calling, in spite of all the sins he had committed, and walk in the way that God had ordained for him.It is an everlasting promise of God and His character to exalt the humble. Judah exhibited humility when he consented to let all righteousness be fulfilled in his own life. Therefore, in spite of the many failures earlier on in his life, Judah's repentance touched God's heart.The short-term fallout on a social and business level may have been severe for Judah, but the Lord was working on the far more important long-term outcome. Judah went on to receive one of the greatest honors that ever came upon a human being. God blessed Judah abundantly by including him as an ancestor of Jesus Christ (Matt. 1:2-3, Luke 3:33-34)!

The scepter will not depart from Judah,Nor the ruler's staff from his descendants,Until the coming of the one to whom it belongs,The One whom all nations will obey."(Gen. 49:10)

Seems like a lot of pastor zhuang zone nt here except mi
Its reali so true of wat is being said today, somehw seems like an enlightenment
Important to glory,honor,cnt be unthkful
We nid to repent,release from sin b4 obtain salvation
Wow,nvr realise e transparent glass cn be used as a board for writing
E lst lesson ends @ 140pm,quite a gd lesson to start wif
Pastor goes off for urgent PM @ jw,we ask to go for short break till 205pm
So funni loh,pastor says lesson 2 onwards will be relief by jiahui then I also rcv jiahui sms

I go down a while onli,rtn back to rm
A while, a girl cum in & begins talking to mi
Small world,its another person wif e same name-jiahui
But soon we talk abt things
She happens to be from tp,T&H student,juz finish internship,graduate & she noe of this event company

Previously we take a turn each to read verse
Nw is whoever can read,but seems like always a few of us,like mi,e lady & guy beside
Slowly learning to how HE helps us,spking in tongues e evidence & on rcv baptism in holy sprit

Thought it’s a crashed getting started bs,its still absorb-able,nt too much to learn in a straight row
Being doing all along,juz a re-enforcement

The Eagle

2006-11-23T11:47:00.000+08:00

THE EAGLE

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.

The Bible says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles." Isaiah 40:31

Guilt Management

2006-10-26T19:56:00.000+08:00

Be at ease.
You can only do what you can do.
If you've done what you can do, what else can you do?
Don't feel guilty for what you cannot do.
You are who you are and you do what you do.
You're not God.
Do what you can do and He'll do what you cannot do.

Dear pillars of W220! Here's a wonderful and touching story of how to share the gospel creatively with people. I hope it'll bless you as much as it has blessed me! Do take some time to read through it. God is ELOHIM, our CREATIVE GOD! Let's cry out to Him for creative ways to reach out to our friends! I'm believing in US for breakthroughs!!!

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!

There was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr Christianson, a
studious man who taught at a small college in the western United States.
Dr.Christianson taught the required survey course in Christianity at this
particular institution. Every student was required to take this course his
or her freshman year, regardless of his or her major.

Although Dr Christianson tried hard to communicate the essence of the
gospel in his class, he found that most of his students looked upon the
course as nothing but required drudgery. Despite his best efforts, most
students refused to take Christianity seriously.

This year, Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve. Steve was
only a freshman, but was studying with the intent of going onto seminary
for the ministry. Steve was popular, he was well liked, and he was an
imposing physical specimen. He was now the starting center on the school
football team, and was the best student in the professor's class.

One day, Dr. Christianson asked Steve to stay after class so he could talk
with him.

"How many push-ups can you do?"

Steve said, "I do about 200 every night."

"200? That's pretty good, Steve," Dr. Christianson said. "Do you think
you could do 300?"

Steve replied, "I don't know.... I've never done 300 at a time."

"Do you think you could?" again asked Dr. Christianson.

"Well, I can try," said Steve.

"Can you do 300 in sets of 10? I have a class project in mind and I need
you to do about 300 push-ups in sets of ten for this to work. Can you do
it? I need you to tell me you can do it," said the professor.

Steve said, "Well... I think I can...yeah, I can do it"

Dr. Christianson said, "Good! I need you to do this on Friday. Let me
explain what I have in mind."

Friday came and Steve got to class early and sat in the front of the room.
When class started, the professor pulled out a big box of donuts. No,
these weren't the normal kinds of donuts, they were the extra fancy BIG
kind, with cream centers and frosting swirls. Everyone was pretty excited
it was Friday, the last class of the day, and they were going to get an
early start on the weekend with a party in Dr. Christianson'

s class.

Dr. Christianson went to the first girl in the first row and asked,
"Cynthia, do you want to have one of these donuts?"

Cynthia said, "Yes."

Dr. Christianson then turned to Steve and asked, "Ste ve, would you do ten
push-ups so that Cynthia can have a donut?"

"Sure." Steve jumped down from his desk to do a quick ten. Then Steve
again sat in his desk. Dr. Christianson put a donut on Cynthia's desk.

Dr. Christianson then went to Joe, the next person, and asked, "Joe, do
you
want a donut?"

Joe said, "Yes." Dr. Christianson asked, "Steve would you do ten
push-ups
so Joe can have a donut?"

Steve did ten push-ups, Joe got a donut. And so it went, down the first
aisle, Steve did ten pushups for every person before they got their donut.

Walking down the second aisle, Dr. Christianson came to Scott. Scott was
on the basketball team, and in as good condition as Steve. He was very
popular and never lacking for female companionship.

When the professor asked, "Scott do you want a donut?"

Scott's reply was, "Well, can I do my own pushu ps?"

Dr. Christianson said, "No, Steve has to do them."

Then Scott said, "Well, I don't want one then."

Dr. Christianson shrugged and then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve,
would
you do ten pushups so Scott can have a donut he doesn't want?"

With perfect obedience Steve started to do ten pushups.

Scott said, "HEY! I said I didn't want one!"

Dr. Christianson said, "Look, this is my classroom, my class, my desks,
and
these are my donuts. Just leave it on the desk if you don't want it." And
he put a donut on Scott's desk. Now by this time, Steve had begun to slow
down a little. He just stayed on the floor between sets because it took
too much effort to be getting up and down. You could start to see a
little perspiration coming out around his brow.

Dr. Christianson started down the third row.&nb sp; Now the students were
beginning to get a little angry. Dr. Christianson asked Jenny, "Jenny, do
you want a donut?"

Sternly, Jenny said, "No."

Then Dr. Christianson asked Steve, "Steve, would you do ten more push-ups
so Jenny can have a donut that she doesn't want?"

Steve did ten....Jenny got a donut.

By now, a growing sense of uneasiness filled the room. The students were
beginning to say "No" and there were all these uneaten donuts on the
desks.

Steve also had to really put forth a lot of extra effort to get these
pushups done for each donut. There began to be a small pool of sweat on
the floor beneath his face, his arms and brow were beginning to get red
because of the physical effort involved.

Dr. Christianson asked Robert, who was the most vocal unbeliever in the
class, to watch Steve do each push up to make sure he did the full ten
pushups in a set because he couldn't bear to watch all of Steve's work for
all of those uneaten donuts. He sent Robert over to where Steve was so
Robert could count the set and watch Steve closely.

Dr. Christianson started down the fourth row. During his class, however,
some students from other classes had wandered in and sat down on the steps
along the radiators that ran down the sides of the room. When the
professor realized this, he did a quick count and saw that now there were
34 students in the room. He started to worry if Steve would be able to
make it.

Dr. Christianson went on to the next person and the next and the next.
Near
the end of that row, Steve was really having a rough time. He was taking
a
lot more time to complete each set.

Steve asked Dr Christianson, "Do I have to make my nose touch on each
one?"

Dr. Christianson thought for a moment, "Well, they're your pushups. You
are
in charge now. You can do th em any way that you want." And Dr.
Christianson went on.

A few moments later, Jason, a recent transfer student, came to the room
and was about to come in when all the students yelled in one voice, "NO!
Don't come in! Stay out!"

Jason didn't know what was going on. Steve picked up his head and said,
"No, let him come."

Professor Christianson said, "You realize that if Jason comes in you will
have to do ten pushups for him?"

Steve said, "Yes, let him come in. Give him a donut"

Dr. Christianson said, "Okay, Steve, I'll let you get Jason's out of the
way right now. Jason, do you want a donut?"

Jason, new to the room, hardly knew what was going on. "Yes," he said,
"give me a donut."

"Steve, will you do ten push-ups so that Jason can have a donut?"

Steve did ten pushups very slowly and wit h great effort. Jason,
bewildered, was handed a donut and sat down.

Dr. Christianson finished the fourth row, and then started on those
visitors seated by the heaters. Steve's arms were now shaking with each
push-up in a struggle to lift himself against the force of gravity. By
this time sweat was profusely dropping off of his face, there was no
sound
except his heavy breathing; there was not a dry eye in the room.

The very last two students in the room were two young women, both
cheerleaders, and very popular. Dr. Christianson went to Linda, the
second
to last, and asked, "Linda, do you want a doughnut?"

Linda said, very sadly, "No, thank you."

Professor Christianson quietly asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so
that Linda can have a donut she doesn't want?"

Grunting from the effort, Steve did ten very slow pushups for Linda.

Then Dr Christianson turned to the last girl, Susan. "Susan, do you want
a
donut?"

Susan, with tears flowing down her face, began to cry. "Dr. Christianson,
why can't I help him?"

Dr. Christianson, with tears of his own, said, "No, Steve has to do it
alone, I have given him this task and he is in charge of seeing that
everyone has an opportunity for a donut whether they want it or not. When
I
decided to have a party this last day of class, I looked at my grade book.
Steve here is the only student with a perfect grade. Everyone else has
failed a test, skipped class, or offered me inferior work. Steve told me
that in football practice, when a player messes up he must do push-ups. I
told Steve that none of you could come to my party unless he paid the
price
by doing your push ups. He and I made a deal for your sakes."

"Steve, would you do ten push-ups so Susan can have a donut?"

As Steve very slowly finished his last pushup , with the understanding
that
he had accomplished all that was required of him, having done 350
pushups,
his arms buckled beneath him and he fell to the floor.

Dr. Christianson turned to the room and said. "And so it was, that our
Savior, Jesus Christ, on the cross, plead to the Father, 'into thy hands
I
commend my spirit.' With the understanding that He had done everything
that was required of Him, He yielded up His life. And like some of those
in
this room, many of us leave the gift on the desk, uneaten."

Two students helped Steve up off the floor and to a seat, physically
exhausted, but wearing a thin smile.

"Well done, good and faithful servant," said the professor, adding "Not
all
sermons are preached in words."

Turning to his class, the professor said, "My wish is that you might
understand and fully comprehend all the riches of grace and mercy that
have
been given to you through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. He spared not only His Begotten Son, but gave Him up for us all,
for the whole Church, now and forever. Whether or not we choose to accept
His gift to us, the price has been paid."

"Wouldn't you be foolish and ungrateful to leave it lying on the desk?"

The Impact of Prayer

2006-09-28T21:00:00.000+08:00

John 17:20-26

God has complete authority over all people and events. He knows thehearts of men, how they will act, and what steps to take to accomplishHis purposes. At the same time, He calls us to pray.Colossians 4:2 says we are to be devoted to prayer. In fact,communication with God is so vital that we are told to pray withoutceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Continuous listening, talking, andrelating to our heavenly Father should characterize our lives.

The Scriptures explain why this is so important:Prayer changes us. As we seek God's face and spend time in His Word, wewill be transformed. Our desires will be replaced by His, and ourthinking will align more closely with His thoughts. As our understandingof His character grows, we will have a better idea of how to pray inaccordance with His will.

God answers prayer. (James 5:16) God has promised to listen and respondto the prayers of His children. (Isaiah 65:24) He assures us that Hewill act when our petitions are in Jesus' name - that is, matching Hiswill and His timing. (John 14:13)Prayer invites God to act.

Prayer doesn't alter any of God's divinepurposes or plans; nor does it cause Him to change His mind. What He hasdecided will occur, and His decisions will be exactly the right ones to accomplish His will. Our prayers are powerful when, without reservation,we invite God to do His work in our lives and the lives of others.What impact does prayer have? It allows an inadequate people to connectwith an all-sufficient God. Hallelujah!

Working for the Lord

2006-09-18T16:21:00.000+08:00

Working for the Lord
Dr. Charles Stanley

When I was a boy, I used to get up at 5 AM to deliver newspapers. It wasalways pitch black outside. Sometimes it would be very cold, raining, oreven snowing heavily. I remember lying in my comfortable bed and tellingGod how much I dreaded going outside. I didn't want to get wet. I didn'twant to be cold. Worse yet, I was afraid of the dark! Yet God worked in my heart to help me see the situation differently. Ibegan to say, ?I'm not delivering these newspapers for my customers. I'mdoing it for Jesus. He's going to receive this paper.?

Suddenly my attitude turned around. I would get started no matter whatthe time or weather! In my own childish way, I had stumbled on thesecret of success in the Christian life, the key to fruitful service:Whatever you are doing, do it as if you are doing it for the Lord.

In the sixth chapter of Ephesians, Paul tells us ?With good will renderservice, as to the Lord, and not to men...? In Colossians 3:23, he saysit again: ?Whatever you do, do your work heartily as for the Lord ratherthan for men...?

In other words, it doesn't matter if you are leading a corporation ormopping its floors-you are called to serve God in and through everythingyou do. Once you adopt this attitude, once you learn to focus on Whomyou are serving instead of what you are doing, amazing changes willhappen:

?The quality of your work will improve. After all, now you are notworking for an earthly boss, but for your Father in heaven.?You will be protected from discouragement. It does not matter whetheror not you've been complimented or thanked for your work-because youalready know how much He approves of you and loves you.?You will grow in self-esteem. We all have a need to feel competent,important and worthy. God always rewards us for our service with a senseof satisfaction and belonging we will not find any other way.?You will not be afraid to fail. In fact, when we serve God we cannotfail because true service is not something we do for God, but rathersomething God does through us.

In First Thessalonians 5:24, Paul says, ?Faithful is He who calls you,and He also will bring it to pass.? God assumes full responsibility forenabling us to carry out the work He's called us to do, whatever thatmay be!

This truth provides us with incredible comfort. It certainly is to me.Consider that In Touch Ministries is preaching the Gospel in more than100 languages to millions of people around the world every day. If Ithought for one moment that I had to accomplish this in my own strength,we would be in real trouble! The truth is that you and I should neverfeel pressured to accomplish great things for God-it is up to Him toaccomplish great things through us!

I'll never forget the job I had during my seminary years. I mopped andswept the floor in a food shop. Parts of it-especially the area behindthe meat counter-were a real mess. I didn't like the working conditions,and for the first few days my heart was full of complaints. Eventually Irealized that complaining wasn't going to help. I decided to approachthe job just as I had when I was a young paperboy. I decided I wassweeping for Jesus. One day I was sweeping near my boss when he turnedto someone and said, ?Don't get in Stanley's way. He'll sweep you rightout of the store!? I may have been cleaning floors, but I was motivated,I was fulfilled, I was dedicated to doing a great job!

My friend, I challenge you to do everything as unto the Lord. When youclean your home, clean it as if Christ lived there. When you prepare ameal, imagine that the Lord is sitting at your table. When you serve aclient or customer, behave as if that customer was Jesus. If you takethis simple step, it will be one of the most rewarding changes of yourlife.

The Windows

2006-09-10T01:00:00.000+08:00

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

The Life We Choose

2006-08-29T22:30:00.000+08:00

Here's the premise: We are all, right now, living the life we choose.

This choice, of course, is not a single, monumental choice. No one decides, for example, "I'm going to move to L.A., and in five years I will be a waiter in a so-so restaurant, planning to get my 8-by-10's done real soon so that I can find an agent and become a star," or "I'm going to marry a dreadful person and we'll live together in a loveless marriage, staying together only for the kids, who I don't much like, either."

No. The choices I'm talking about here are made daily, hourly, moment by moment.

Do we try something new, or stick to the tried-and-true? Do we take a risk, or eat what's already on our dish? Do we ponder a thrilling adventure, or contemplate what's on TV? Do we walk over and meet that interesting stranger, or do we play it safe? Do we indulge our heart, or cater to our fear?

The bottom-line question: Do we pursue what we want, or do we do what's comfortable?

For the most part, most people most often choose comfort - the familiar, the time-honored, the well-worn but well-known. After a lifetime of choosing between comfort and risk, we are left with the life we currently have.

And it was all of our own choosing.

New Things
by Os Hillman, August 20, 2006

Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on
toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward
in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13b-14

Our past can be a hindrance or a help in moving toward God's purposes
for each of us. For some, the past has meant pain and heartache, and
grace is required so that we do not let our past dictate our responses
to the future. If we allow our past to make us a victim, then we have
not entered into the grace that God has for us. If we live on memories
of past successes and fail to raise our vision for new things, we again
are victims of our past.

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland" (Is.
43:19). Our past should only be viewed for what we can learn from it. We
must move forward and avoid viewing the negative or the positive for
more than what we can learn. Many have allowed their past to dictate
their future. God is always about doing new things in our lives. He
gives fresh revelation of His purposes in our lives.

Do not live in the past. Do not hold onto bitterness that may hinder God
from doing new and exciting things in your life. He turns our wastelands
into streams of water to give life, not death.

How have you viewed your past? Has it hindered you in some areas of your
life? Have you relied on past successes to dictate what you will do in
the future? Put aside such thoughts and allow God to do a new thing in
your life. Ask Him to help you see the new things He wants to do in and
through you today.

"When your memories are bigger than your dreams, you're headed for the
grave" [Author unknown].

Jesus My Best Friend

2006-08-03T17:38:00.000+08:00

Whenever I'm in trouble
Or when I am afraid
He helps me work my problems out
And the hurt just seems to fade.
Whenever I am feeling low,
He helps me not to feel so bad,
He makes my life worth living,
Jesus really makes me glad!
He's always there when you need a friend,
On Jesus you can always depend;
When you take your problems to Him,
He gives you peace and joy within.
It's nice talking to Jesus,
Because he understands what you need,
If you have sadness in your heart,
He will help you out indeed!
I'm glad I know Jesus,
Because now I have eternal life,
I'll be up there in Heaven,
Where there will be love and no strife.
So if you are not saved
And you want to know this friend,
Ask Jesus to come into your life,
And your broken heart He will mend

The Color of Jesus

2006-08-03T17:36:00.000+08:00

She was given a picture of Jesus to color in her Sunday School classroom that day.If she would have asked me the color of His face, I wouldn't have known what to say.Warm brown like her brother's? Or peach like her parents' ? Or tan like her own golden hue?But she didn't ask me the color of His face-- she colored it blue.
Would his hair be in black flecked with gray like her Daddy's? Or would it be copper like mine?Or silver like Grandma's? Or maize like her cousins, with a layer of gold for some shine?Or gray like her Grandad? Or dark like her own, a cascade of silky black ink?But she didn't ask me the color of His hair-- she colored it pink.
One ear was turquoise, the other was green.His beard was the purplest purple that I've ever seen.She made His lips yellow, His neck was in brown.Then she looked at His eyes and she stopped with a frown.
Had she noticed His eyes were as round as a marble, with her Daddy's and mine the same way?The eyes in her picture were not like the eye that she saw in the mirror each day.But you'd think that by now I would realize how the world would be seen through my daughter's sweet, 4-year-old, almond-shaped eyes.For her whole box of crayons was used to portray the rainbow of love that she found in the eyes of her Jesus in the picture she colored that day.
She was given a picture of Jesus to color in her Sunday School class, but you see--The Sunday School lesson in love that was learned was taught by my four-year-old daughter to me.

God, how great is your love

2006-08-03T17:34:00.000+08:00

That even when we go our own wayYou still watch over usMaking sure we don't stray.We seek you in our afflictions,And find you when in needBut then we go on our own wayAnd forget what we should heed.Father will we ever really knowThe deepness of your love?We see just a glimpse of itAnd yet this seems enough.Maybe to know your love completeWould clearly blow my mindAnd yet I can't help but seekFor all that I might find.

Forsaken..??

2006-08-03T17:30:00.000+08:00

As I walk along the deep valley, The path looks endless, so I tarry.
Looking down at the rugged dirt, To the left is darkness, where shadows lurk. To my right is rock, slick as glass. No way to climb up, and I can't go back, Searching for the strength I seem to lack. Where is He? Why did He leave? I trusted Him, I said I did believe. Why has He forsaken me?
Then I hear a voice from above. "I Am here," the voice does say, "To show you, my child, your very own way. Do not look to the left or right, Or down, or even fear the night. Oh ye, of little faith, I Am with you always, so why do you wait? Walk forward, my child, and shed not a tear. For even though you may sometimes forget it, I Am always here."

LOVE

2006-07-28T00:15:00.000+08:00

In this world today, its hard to find,Love that can stay true and love that can bind,All out for ourselves, pushing others away,To be in the spotlight for just one day,I wish others were able to see,what it would be like if they could be,that deaf young boy, scared to go on,never to hear words nor beautiful song.Or a blind old woman, with nothing to live for,ever to stay dirty and poor.a teenage girl abused by her mother,she's already lost her father and brother.Or perhaps a man about to take his life,for he's just lost his wonderful wife,If we could be one of these for a single daymaybe we'd watch more what we sayour flaws are important, they make us uniqueso why do we not help the hungry and weak?we can find the courage, the strength from within,to help others and graciously lend,our heart, our soul, our strength from above,you see, it is a wonderful thinga wonderful thing that I call LOVE.

WALK WITH ME

2006-07-28T00:03:00.000+08:00

If you're alone it need not be.Take my hand and walk with me.Walk with me, by my side:Not for me to be your guide,For where you're bound, I do not knowand the way is not mine to show.I won't promise to follow you;It may be more than I can do.Walk with me while we wait:Not that you might bear my freight;If I don't lift it I'll grow frailand that will cause me to fail.I am able to perform my task,and sometimes more, if you ask.Walk with me, even in rain:We can't take the other's pain;But you can know that I care.Not to gain in worldly fare,but for the feelings that we share,and to know someone is there.Walk with me as a brother:That we'll understand each other;Not to listen to me preachAnd surely not for me to teach;And if we help, it's from desire,Not from duty, and not for hire.Walk with me as a friend:Not to promise until time's end.Not to possess, for you're not minebut we'll walk together, down the line.When you need me, there I'll beWould you not do as much for me?If you are down, I'll help you stand;So reach out, friend, and take my handand walk with me in this beautiful land.Reach out friend, take my hand.

He's There

2006-07-27T23:57:00.000+08:00

He's there, when you need to cry

He's there, when you want to die,

He's there, he's your friend till the end

He's there, when your heart needs to mend.

He's there, with his love

He's there, up above.

He's there waiting, forever more

He's there waiting, at the door.

He's there, waiting around

He's there, when you want to break down.

He's there, when you feel like dirt

He's there, to take away the hurt.

He's there, though you may feel he's not,

He's there, so give him all that you've got.

Sunday 23/12

2006-07-27T23:54:00.000+08:00

Really sorry that it was delayed for so long to give an account of last Sunday event.

As you knew, booking seats had never been easy. I left home at 5.50am and caught the train at Lakeside at 6.10am, the first train was earlier that day than usual. When I arrived at Tanah Merah,it was only 6.55am and soon the train to Expo arrived. I walked to Hall 8 and was surprised to find that they were nobody there. I was first in the queue and the ushers formed up the barracks quite fast. There was this man who went out of the barracks and back. Initially I thought he was a normal people, cleaner or someone who was also queuing behind me .But later, he tried to be funny, stood beside me and put his bag in front of me, on my left. Never mind, what case, I never seen and I got used to it. We were asked to stand out at 8.40am,moving to the 2nd post, waited a while before allowing to enter hall. Always asked people not to run, people would still run. Next ,ran to the front of the curtain and about 9am,it opened and got in as fast as possible to scan for seats.

Not again, seats taken, reserved by things and books, felt so much like throwing them away. Its not fair loh, they played cheat. I dared not aim for front seat, only the central seats, hopefully getting a good row. No choice, I needed to move a bit right and managed to get 2 rows (24 seats).Actually when Huiwen asked me to get about 26 seats, I felt rather challenging because that mean to have 2 rows of 15 seats each, never booked that before. Since we could achieve the number, I needed to try my best leh. We had Meow Meow’s friend, Xiao Yan and 4 other Joshua’s friends for service.Before started of service,they continued with photo taking using handphones.I decided to take out my camera and they started to take more and more.It was a continuous of previous day 22/7.

Pastor Kong was finally back and he shared his 2nd session of marriage seminar. The things said were so true and one of it was to forgive and forget. The other points were also very meaningful and Pastor even asked the husbands and wives to give each other a warm kiss. After service, de-brief as usual and we left the hall. Meow Meow then me were advised not to go for bs due to her friend around and all going to gaming.

Along the way, Meow Meow was playing anger with Valerie and a lot of fun here and there. As the train was full, Huiwen, I and a new friend boarded the train at the other door. I got to know Huiwen’s friend and they were souring each other. There was this boy too who guessed Huiwen to be that old. Finally we alighted at Dhoby Guuat and walked to the shop. It seemed the day we met to go Superman’s prayer meeting at YMCA as we were walking. It took quite a lot of walk before finding the correct shops. We also saw 2 Hello Kitty guitars at one of the shop.

Terry and Huiwen continued to locate the shops, while the rest of us decided to walk into an arcade. Valerie, Meow Meow and Xiaoyan were enjoying on a free machine. Out of the place, Valerie and Zheming wanted to eat McDonald, but Edmund wanted to eat foodcourt, ended up eating at Mc. Edmund’s mum and Valerie ate McSpicy meals with hot fudge, me was Mc Spicy meal ,upsized twister fries with strawberry sundae, Meow had the nuggets meal with strawberry sundae and Xiaoyan had the fish burger, upsized twister fries and green tea and sundae. I bought the food for Meow Meow. Zheming and Ibraham sat on the opposite side. Terry did not eat,he just drank milk. He brought to the attention of starting games soon and they ate very fast, quite a lot left over. I joined them afterwards.

I saw the message of the need of camera and I went off first, telling Zheming and Ibraham to join later. Finally I found the place ,handed over the camera to Huiwen and went back to look for them, but they were not there. I went back to the arcade and took over the camera to take shots. The Hello Kitty team led by Meow Meow, with Xiaoyan, Valerie and Edmund (his mum also joined for the car racing).They had finished the first station, rolling ball bowling, started to race car then followed by fighting man and photo hunt. Huiwen was the station IC for bowling.

The other side of the road, the lan gaming people were playing too.

Edmund managed to enter the final round to complete for the individual car racing. We did a short announcement of results and taking group photo before proceeding for the final round.

Too bad, he did not win. While waiting for the prize to be delivered, the leader shared her encountered of being the first touch with God. The winners took a photo together with the leader.

We went to the foodcourt beside it and sat down. Terry had ice dessert and Huiwen ate something as their lunch. I was like the chairman sitting in the centre chairman seat. Huiwen shared her life stories with Edmund, Terry and Xiaoyan, while Valerie was writing her 10 words each correction for her Chinese spelling. Both me and Meow Meow were free and easy. Jiahui came over and gave Joshua made-up cg at one corner.
At this time,Huiwen saw a egg character machine and wanted to get a Donald duck
which was so cute.She asked Meow Meow to see if the next one was it.She did not get the duck,but the poosh.Quickly insert another $1 coin ^ after they turned,it dropped out the duck,Huiwen was very happy and i gace it to her,in return,she gave me
her bear.Edmund continued to play and seem like all ducks left over.Soon joined
by Ibraham and Edmund’s mother. Zheming initiated the D&T drawing to Meow Meow. Actually wanted to go play that arcade, but she stopped to do the work. I had never seen Zheming so serious in doing things and teaching her how to draw. I sat around to give advice too. Valerie, Huiwen ,Edmund and Xiaoyan found their own entertainment of guessing the number. Their forfeits including traveling up the escalator, greeting people, saying I Love you ,10 times etc.

Ibraham was in the arcade and joined by the rest. After our stuffs, Zheming ,Meow Meow and I looked for them. But soon, Valerie, Meow Meow and Xiaoyan wanted to play that hammering game and I accompanied them over. They exchanged money and played from level to level and their hands were all swollen after playing. Meow Meow called to find them and I was asked over to the phone as Huiwen directed me the location. First was Valerie, then Xiaoyan and Meow Meow, they wanted to go home and I escorted them to the MRT even Meow Meow threatened not to talk to me if I continued to send them to the station.

I went to the kopitiam opposite smu and joined the rest of the people. After eating ice, fruit platter(bought by Edmund’s mother),we made our way home. I collected a comment card from Hotel Rendzevous and Terry followed with me. Soon all went on their directions. It was quite a tired day, but I still needed to quickly do a simple powerpoint for next day short presentation on comment card.

Leaving everything to God!

HEY my love ones..its me again!haha..anyway..juz to share some of me what i did this week.Monday and tues,i did 2700 skipping in total while chatting to ppl online..haha!NOT flaunting ah..i mean..time is so precious..can't afford to lose a single sec!Truthfully,without God i don't think i can do so much..haha!Thank God for strength!Now my culf muscles aching, but Praise God my muscles is growing.haha!

I feel that we can do so much with our talents with our potential.Don't limit yourself what you can do and don't think you can't do anything great for God.Its your willingness and your desire,whether you can do anot,leave it to God,just do our part and leave the rest to God!Remember God says in Isaiah 55:8 'For My thoughts are not your thoughts,nor are your ways My ways,'says the LORD.'For as the heavens are higher than the earth,So are My ways higher than your ways,And My thoughts than your thoughts.' God will NEVER fail us,always put your trust in Him!

Some sharing: I gotta lose some weight and i gotta have constant exercise on mon,wed,fri and sat..each day do 1500 skipping!haha..i can do it..All things are possible with God!*smile*

Hope my sharing have bless you!

THANK YOU MY BELOVED ONES!!!

2006-07-27T00:25:00.000+08:00

HEY my beloved W220!!I got some stuff to share with you guys!Actually this is a revelation from last week,but this week den i kearn how to post so now i share with you guys okie!*smile*Hope its not too late..

I feel our christian walk is like contact lenses.How it started with contact lens?LAst sat while i was heading for BS but eventually it was cancelled.On the bus while heading to suntec,my lenses got abit dry and my eyes got abit irritated n uncomfortable,so i applied eye drop.I applied once, it got so much better, however, after 15 mins or so it gets dry again, and i apply again and it got dry again. This part is so similar to our christian life!To be honest n truthful, christian life is never easy, but with God everything is gotta be alright!

We got dry seasons(just like lenses getting dry), good seasons(eye drop applied to lenses), BUT when we go through dry season,never ever think of giving up,never think of letting go,tell yourself,its just another mountain,i've been through it,this time i conquer the mountain again,nth new!It is always during the dry season our faith is tested, God is testing our faith,it is a testing period.During this period,the more we need to pray,the more we need to press in,the more we need to do something,DON'T stay lukewarm,it is during this period that we are going to GROW!!

It is never about God forcing us,God always respect us,He don't force us to do things that we don't like,the Holy Spirit is always gentle,He is always there to help us.But it is our DECISION..it lies in us..no compulsion.

The eye drop is just like the Holy Spirit,we are renewed everyday by the oil of God,New anointing,new vision..He pour out His Spirit Upon all flesh(Acts 2:17)!LEts not lose heart while doing good(Ephesians 6:9) guys!We are doing very well,don't give up,lets fight the fight of faith together!Hold on to your dreams,your vision,have the 'NEVER SAY DIE' attitude.

HOwever,having a attitude is one thing and taking action is another thing.We can't possibly be just believing and not taking actions.For the bible says in (James 2:26),'For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.' We musn't be just hearers of the word only,but be a DOER of the word(James 1:22).

Lets fight the devil together!Devil--Eye infection.Which indicates devil's attack,we can fight the eye infection with eye drop! Eye Drop--PRAYERS!! Prayers moves mountains,esp when 2 or threes are gather together, the power of corporte prayer!

Lastly, i want ot thank Hui for always teaching me so much thing,guiding me through things that i don't know,clearing my doubts etc.I will continue to learn,continue to change, continue to improve!Lets move on together W220!

Thank YOu my beloved W220 for brightening up my life!And of cuz ying jie for all the hard work doing up this blog!Thanks!I love you Guys!

Sharing of testimonial

2006-07-26T18:44:00.000+08:00

First of all, I must bring you to the attention that our site has hit 220 yesterday night around 12mn.Though it may sound sudden, but it’s a rare one which go frame with W220. Please continue to drop by and be so willing to share with the rest and benefit every single one more from it.

Next I am really grateful. Still remembered last week, when I first mentioned as my msn headings, Edmund told me that I needed to share during cg on 22/7 if my target of 40 was met. I was very angry to hear from my supervisor on 24/7 that they wanted to postpone the D&D to October. I didn’t want since I built up the things to this stage and I had just passed out those handwritten invitation cards in the morning. They could not do this because the poster stated 25/7 as deadline not 24/7 and I fought with her to give me another final chance. It was agreed to be by 24/7 at 12noon.I believed and I really hope to see it, miracles would happen as God would do the rest for me. When she asked me at 10.15am and I replied her that there was still 2 hours more to go. She said I indeed had confidence ,but actually in my heart I was rather worried. The last hour was critic and near 12pm,the numbers were slowly growing. I felt she was indeed impressed and amazed by me. The event would go on as planned. Yes! I did it.

To add to my pass, I had a group of 5 Myanmar supporters and on top of it , a very good girl, yenniferyeh who was extremely super in outreaching to her friends. She constantly updated me from 4.30pm at 3 persons to 5pm at 5 persons, moving to 10 and near 8pm with 6 confirmed people.

Today continued with receiving of money from Gary, Jasmine then Elaine and also on Saturday ,there were be collection from Meiyu and her boyfriend. Initially Kelvin supposed to get to me at 9am if he was going, with friends also, but he changed his mind because Meiyu didn’t confirm with him. At 5.17pm, I received a surprise sms from Meiyu that she would be bringing 3 friends, seemed so much like cell group or Sunday service, outreaching to friends, amen! It was the first time these group of people so supportive towards my organized events. Jasmine even asked me for her invitation card after VAM class ended on Monday. I gave to all, but she was late therefore missed out hers. I tried to give the 4 person package, held their payments till today and allowing Meiyu with only 3 people at $25 rate. This was the minimum I could do to reward their support.

THANKFUL FOR ALEX, CHERMAINE,YENNIFERYEH ,THE GROUP OF MYANMAR STUDENTS(INCLUDING LIA), SOLVIET AND MANY MORE..

Though Brooke you cannot make it again. I know you wanted too. But seems like we always crashed with each other and not fated to go. Thanks anyway.

After getting the growing numbers, there are other things to touch on,work and catch up with…

A Touching Life Story

2006-07-25T21:25:00.000+08:00

Touching life story.....

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had
admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father
could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father
had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father
called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to
have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed
his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed
the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible.
Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money
you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.
He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was
very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him
since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he
received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed
all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately
and take care things.

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled
his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the
still new Bible, just as he had lefdo we miss God's blessings because
they are not packaged as we expected? t it years ago. With tears, he
opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words,
a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag
with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had
desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...
PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected?

Today cg from yingjie’s point of view

2006-07-22T22:37:00.000+08:00

(before I continue, as far as now is concerned, I will take Edmund’s advice and write a proper sentence for every entry and not msn language because he says is not so good to write broken English. But as far as I concern, if you feel much more comfortable and easier to write in short forms or so, please go ahead, its your space area too and I don’t wish to restrict your freedom of expressing. That’s not my main purpose when I set up this site, I want you to be so bold to share.)

Today after settling my school stuffs, I rushed down to meet Jiahui for a bible study at the void deck of Valerie’s house. Before I arrived, Jiahui had already planted all the points for the treasure hunt. We finished around 2.40pm and went up to Valerie’s house. I stayed in the room with her while she was rehearsing.

Soon the rest came and we could hear that they were praying outside. All were gathered in the room. As quite a lot of members were sick so we started to pray for individual, for those who were sick, like Edmund and Zheming. Jiahui continued to tell us what colour tags to find and what were the instructions for the treasure hunt .Initially we had to tie rubber bands around two hands, but since it was easily broken therefore based on the trust we would follow the game rules, we just needed to hold hands. Huiqin came in and received her prayer too as her stomach also not that well.

Huiwen, Terry, me and Meow Meow one group while Valerie, Zheming, Huiqin and (Edmund) another group. In the beginning, it was very difficult to find and soon enough Meow Meow saw the first one near the unit sign then next we found another one near the lift signboard at level 1.I pasted all the stickers on my card holder. Almost left with 5 minutes, we returned to the starting point outside Valerie’s house and Jiahui gave us 1 hint outside her house and Valerie found it. Next would be within this level and upper level and I managed to find it at the pipe area. Our group had 70 points ,winning over the other team by 10 points. Jiahui brought us to level 1 and quickly Valerie found it near the signboard area. While in the lift, she was so thankful to find the other inside the lift.

winners so happy

Valerie won the individual award and my group got the team winner. We were presented twisties as prizes. We cool down ourselves before proceeding into the room for cell group proper. Today song sheets were rather special with guitar chords on them. We sang Great Is Our God, followed by the sharing of testimonial by Huiwen ( exam strength),me (D&D help & 40 breakthrough)and Terry(sickness healing).Today’s message was a continuous of 2 weeks ago. It seemed close to me because part of it was people take things for granted and Jiahui quoted my queuing as an example. ”Don’t curse, don’t rehearse, don’t nurse, just disperse and let God reverse it”, all the “se” theories.

Great Successes/Services/Shortages in life are often followed by Failure/Forgetfulness/Fullness.—its true to the daily life

As Jiahui was rushing off for dinner, there was no time for the last song-Thank You, but as promised in BS, she asked them to gather and prayed for me to receive the holy spirit. I like to thank her for that. ”Cell group has ended and fellowship has begin”.We ate twisties while Huiwen and Terry prepared the green tea. Later they decided to pour the gold fish food into a big bowl with the last pack of cheese twisties. Edmund also shared the chocolate biscuits with us. The bowl brought Terry the idea of dog food and soon all seated on the floor. Huiwen decided to start the number games, something liked the last Marine buffet forfeit style. Huiwen started to think of a number first and supposed to have Oswin as the victim, but he denied Huiwen might have change her number so they changed to keying number on phone.

I actually ate twice and by the 2nd time, I felt it was getting a bit “er xin” because at the first place, the goldfish food already tasteless. I had set both my number to be 2 and the second time Terry very fast got it and he needed to fulfill the forfeit. The second mix, I did an easy one with a little twisties and a bit of peach tea(Meow Meow forfeit, but Edmund drank for her).My first mix was terrible because I put a lot and pepper too. It was getting worst and I decided to throw away the remaining in order not to allow more to suffer. I joined by Huiwen cleaned up the cups and she swept the floor, with complaints from some.

We took our leave about 8.30pm and it was the first time Valerie asked to join us for dinner. Along the way, they were busy taking photos till we reached the coffee shop which Valerie took us there. She wanted to have her famous minced meat noodles, but the shop was closed. The girls shared one plate of salted fish fried rice, Edmund had the same rice too. Terry mixed chicken with add stuff, me eating hor fun and Zheming ate the mixed vegetable rice. We really had fun together for this fellowship.

fellowship-where 's terry-camera man lah

Valerie went opposite way home and the rest took bus 98.Somehow they decided to stop at Jurong East instead of Lakeside. Once reached home, as usual I quickly uploaded those photos and started sending once I saw the online person. Huiwen ,followed by Edmund and Meow Meow were online, but Edmund was the fastest to receive all.

That’s all for today.

So tired leh, long time never write such a complete sentence, detailed blog already.

"SuNsHiNe KiD's" First Post

2006-07-21T20:47:00.000+08:00

Wow... this blog rocks man... i'm lovin' it... But hey, what's with the music??? i had goosebumps when i first heard it... haha, just kidding... N people who's happening to visit us? ur first impression i'm sure is gonna be what's W220??? is it a new phone by sony ericsson? is it a ... Nah! all wrong... we're just a family made up of ordinary people, doing extra-ordinary things & who are on fire for God... Yeah! & we're from city harvest church, singapore =)

ok... this is gonna be my first post... its a story about judging people... as the saying goes, "do not judge a book by its cover"... think u guys have heard it before but never mind, if u havent... here it goes...

Unconditional Love
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."
"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are. The End...

Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!!

There's a miracle called Friendship That dwells in the heart You don't know how it happens Or when it gets started But you know the special lift It always brings And you realize that Friendship Is God's most precious gift!

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.
