INDOMITABLE!
Monday, June 30, 2008
This week had been like a battelfield. Trials after trials. Testings after testings. Each time when i wanna let go and give up, I thank God for the people whom He had placed in my life to encourage and affirm me. I thank God for God. Without the Bible, I guess I would never have had made it through. At first I got very frustrated. Then i sat myself down and slowly answered the many question marks which popped right into my head. For once, I begin to see the big picture.

I dont want to just sit there and complain 'bout the many things that I am unhappy and dissatisfied with. If i were to complain, there's too much in this world to complain. Instead of wasting time complaing, might as well find a solution and conviction to pull through. I want to go through storms with JOY. To sail through the sea of storms and ultimately seeing the rainbow at the end of the day. I am not perfect, but I have a perfect God. I have my limits, but my God is limitless and has no boundaries.

(2cor12:9-10)
''But He said to me ''My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.''

(Matt11:28-30)
''Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.''

(1Jas1:2-4)
''Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testings of your faith develops perseverence. Perseverence must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.''

(Rom5:3-5)
''Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces Perseverence; Perseverence, Character; and Character, Hope. And Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the HolySpirit, whom He has given us.''

(Heb6:19a)
''We have this Hope as anchor for the soul, firm and secure. ''


These verses comforts and assures me that whatever I do for this Kingdom is well worth it.
I will claim these promises by Faith!

THE RACE(:



And so, the thought of jogging for at least thrice a week popped into my mind this afternoon. Reasons?
#1: To practice Self-Discipline
#2: To listen more to God
#3: To lose weight, of course (Heehee)

Came back home around 8pm from Joyce's meeting, changed, and went out to jog.
Told God I wanted to run with Him, plugged in my earpiece and started running.
Ran the usual path I used to run. In the past, I'd feel like falling flat on the ground after half a round or lesser than that. However, today I actually managed to run non-stop. I smiled as I ran and sang along with the praise songs. In fact, with each step that I take, it was lighter than the previous one. Although i was physically drained, my legs just took control of my body and it just continued running non-stop. For each time that i felt like giving up, I asked God for strength and perseverance. I kept running till the lift of my block and upon reaching there, I stretched my arm wide open like as if I'd reached the finishing line of a race. I was so overjoyed and overwhelmed that I broke down in my room as soon as I called my Shepherd to tell her of my experience with God. I know it sounds dramatic, but i couldn't stop thanking God. I knew, there and then, that I had ran with God. I really ran with Him!

I wanna run like that with God in my walk with Him. I know for sure, that if I'd ever make the decision to run alone, I'd not make it. Confirm, Chop, Stamp.

*Waves Frantically
God, I'll run with you!

School was fun(:

Surprisingly, for once, I did not drag myself off the bed. I was really energetic. ThankGod for the people who came early for the Prayermeet(: We did ''ACTS'' for prayers and I could really see that people were refreshed and energized after the Prayermeet. Yay! to you, God!

Had a great time crapping and laughing with the girls for the first few free periods. School's not such a bore, after all(:

Headed down to NYP to find Zoey. Am gettin' help from her for my studies. Thankyou, Dearest(: Your time and all, I really appreciate it. I would never fail to laugh (really loud and hard) whenever Im with you. Thankyou! You're the best cousin ever!

Edited by one of my sheep, Tingting. Thankyou for the many many photos that you had sent me(: Haha. Appreciate it !

I wanna thank God for two of my sheep: Tingting & Liyan
I know you girls have been working hard for this Kingdom. You girls have grown so much! All credits and glory goes to God. Thankyou for persevering. Lookin' at your lives, I am once again reminded that all that Im investing in this Kingdom is worthwhile. Im sure God would definitely use you girls even more. Do not doubt God's abilities. Just give your 100% and God will do the rest. It's okay if you do not have the skills as yet. The heart's all that matters(: I would go all means and ways to help and grow you. With all that you have, Serve Him! God will bring you to greater heights, I am soooo sure!

I am having another sheep soon too(: MandySoh! Welcome to the Family!
I really like your spirit. Am really encouraged by the decision that you've made.
The reason was simple. It's just 'cuz you saw the value behind it all. Let's see the completion of CG08 soon and very soon, alright? I dont know how, but one thing for sure, God's gonna use, prune, and grow you BIG time !

Ohman, I am soo excited by how God's gonna use each and every inidividuals in NorthA.
I am watching , God! Im gonna witness to it ! (:

Imagine this. What if the world's gonna end in, say, 5hours time?
What are the things that you would want to do?
I am sure it has all got to do with ''People''.
Not just any other people, but people who loves and cares. People who matters in your life.

In that moment, fame and wealth would make no sense. The certificates hung on the walls of your bedroom are nothing but pieces of paper. The trophies placed nicely on the display cabinet would be of no significance any longer. See? Ultimately, these are not the things that would matter at the end of the day. I am not trying to say that we should end our education/career right now and go hug the people who means a lot to us all day long. What i am trying to convey is that, people matters.

If people already mean so so so so so much to us humans, how much more does God feel towards us? If what we love is already called ''unconditional love'', then how much more deeper is God's love for us? If what we give is already called ''generous'' , then how much more unselfish and giving is God, whom gave His one and only beloved & precious Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for ignorant and imperfect human beings who do nothing but sin?

Im back to the world!

Haha, yea, I guess I could say I’ve lost touch with the world for consecutively 4days and 3nights. Oasis camp at Downtown East was just indescribable! I had a great time fellowshipping with my crazy and noisy sisters. Bear with me, I have so much to share!

I met some of the sisters during the first morning to travel down to Downtown East together. As I was lookin’ outta the window of the bus, I wondered how God would move in this camp. I was clueless.

North won the game for the first day! Man, I really gave my all. It was real fun! Though we were tired and smelly after the game, I could just see the sense of satisfaction in each and every one of their faces.
That night was also another night I would never forget. It was my first time standing up on stage, doing support singing for praise and worship. I had fun. It was definitely a great experience gained. Im glad I did not felt much difference worshipping God on stage. To see the people jumping and praising God with zeal and passion. To see hands raising all high up and worshipping Him. The sight of all these warms my heart.

The scintillating teachings, powerful testimonies etc just convicted me even more that God is real and moving. No one hardly paid scant attention to the teacher/pastor/speaker on stage. They shared with so so so much conviction, joy and passion.

The dreams and visions that God had planted within me before and after camp, at first I was like ‘God! You serious? This is no joke! How isit possible?’. But then I came to realize that this thought is just an insult to God. I have a Big God. Shouldn’t I too, accomplish big things for Him?

‘My child..I will use you only if you allow me to’
We really gotta desire to be used. It really is a matter of our willingness and courage to step outta that line of comfort zone.

I felt God’s presence.
I heard His heartbeat.
Im privileged of Him choosing me out of the thousands of people He could have picked
Im speechless by His huge , early and well prepared plans for me and this world.
I was and still am awed by what why & how does He wanna change and influence this world.

There’s not a scintilla of truth in what the Satan says. Let us be obstinate in the WOG, not yielding to the preposterous and inane plans and traps of Satan. We shall run this relay with great pride and honour. No stigma attached.

The victory of the games North won had already proven that being small is no excuse/hindrance. Let’s get it over and done with CG08 and get on to the next thing! Cant you see? Jesus is cheering for us. He’s anticipating for us to reach that finishing line.

Run, My fellow runners!

Beloved Nephew,

I thank God for the miracle He had done in your life even before you were on this earth. I thank you for your presence. It is you who bonded the whole family together, knitting us closer to each other. I thank you for bringing so much happiness and joy into my life. I thank you for your kisses. Each & everytime when i come home, the sight of you would never fail to bring a smile to my face.

You might not have many toys to play with. You might not have companions/siblings to play with you. You might not have a Daddy. You might not have a Mommy who really cares for you. The thought of all these hurts me a lot. An innocent child doesnt deserve all these. You deserve much more! However, please be assured that this whole family is a back-up team for you.

I would play the role of your Mommy as well as your Aunt. I would make sure that there's no hindrances of you pursuing your education. Together with your grandparents, I would go all means to bring you up. I wouldnt at all mind laying my life down for you.

Love, Your Aunt/Mommy/Friend/Companion

Please do take time to read this..

''Do you remember the time when you first said your sinner’s prayer, telling God that you’re allowing Him to come into your life?
Do you remember the time when you were so awed by God’s blessings that you just couldn’t stop sharing it to the people around you?
Do you remember the time when you simply just put your Faith & trust in God, without doubting and questioning Him?
Do you remember the time when you had your first sheep?
Do you remember the time when someone accepted Christ because of your own sharing and life testimony?
Do you remember the many promises you made to God?

Did you ever lie to your leaders that you refuse/can’t make it for CareGroup/Service/Shepherding just ‘cuz you were tired, wanted to hang out with your friends or simply just wanted more sleep?
Did you confide in the people around you when all along God was beside you, waiting for you to pour out to Him?
Did you thank God for the many blessings? Even they might be as minor as God stopping the rain or having the bus right in front of your face when you’re about to be late for school?

When was the last time you stopped doing whatever that you were doing and just lingered into God’s presence and listen to what He’s gotta say?
When was the last time you went to Caregroup/Service/Shepherding with a flaming heart, anticipating for God’s word?
When was the last time you prayed for someone else’s needs , praying it with a heart of expectancy?
When was the last time you told God that you love Him when all the while you’ve been so expressive towards the people around you?

When was the last time was your heart ON FIRE for Him? ''


This was what God had wanted me to share during our Unit Caregroup.
Woke up early this morning to plan and pray through what should be prayed in this group.
The above wasn't what I had planned. However, during Joyce's teaching, the Spirit struck me so hard that we really ought to reflect upon our own heart attidues and perspective.
I, then quickly penned it down while also penning down the teaching Joyce was sharing.
Though it was kinda last minute, I hope it had moved your hearts.
I was sharing and praying with a trembling voice.

I want to love God like never before.
I want to serve Him like never before.
