因为我知道我需要
For I know I need To know
明瞭
Understanding
你心意对我重要
That Your desire matters more to me

祷告
Pray
已假装不了
I can't pretend no more
祷告
Pray
因为你的爱我需要
For it is Your love that I need
你关怀
Your care
我走过的你都明白
Every path I've been, You've been there before

有些事我只想要对你说
Some things I can only tell you
因你比任何人都爱我
For you love me more than anyone else
痛苦从眼中流下
Tears of pain flow from my eyes
我知道你为我擦
I know You will wipe them for me

在早晨我也要来对你说
In the morning I will want to tell You
主耶稣今天我为你活
Lord Jesus, I will live for you today
所需要的力量你天天赐给我
The strength that I need, You grant me daily
你恩典够我用
Your grace is more than enough for me

1) my school work.
my teacher have helped me alot about math thing. and i could understand, and I'm at the class, but before that, i don't really understand what the teacher teaching all about. And i didn't take math very seriously. But God, he change me another mind-set. God let me see, my future&my dream. and, i got it. i keep on trying my best to do. trying my best to understand where it come from the answer. And God is good, he bless and bless and provide people to teach me here and there. i thank God for that..
2) spiritual life.
I'm dry out of my life this weeks. but i thank God that, he remind me by the natural plant, sky. i know he is with me, something i telling God that, i know you are with me but the problem is, myself. i don't really know where are you ? Here or there ?? and Tuesday, when i worship God with my guitar, and i play U.R.Y i don't know. i just feel wanna to sing about it. i just sing and sing. i stop and i tell God, why, God you are the truth i know. but tell me, where are you, can make me feel you ? the end, i keep on praying and praying and praying. i found out the answer. It's letter. letter make me feel that person around and I'm assure that, he/she is with me...and i try and try, write and write and write.
the end,it works.
I'm assure that God is with me.
i thank God .

and life it just coming a running race together. but it who you are running with now ?
we can be slow but never be slow down. and I'm sure that i am running God. because i keep on finding myself way to assure about God. and God, he will speak to us. and he is with me.
i thank God for everything.

it's only when you're weak, then you're strong,
it's only when your weak, Christ power may be shown through us.

2 Corinthians 12: 7 - 10 [MSG]

Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn't get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan's angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me,

My grace is enough; it's all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.

Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.

"I will make the impossible possible". haha this is what God wants to speak to some of us here. Continue to have faith and trust God for God to do miraculous things in ur life.

God will make a way
when there seems to be no way
He works in ways you cannot see
He will make a way for me!

well sisters, no matter what happens, don't give up!Be strong , stand firm and courageous :D There is nothing that God cannot do (: So give it onto God and let our "LAODA" settle XD

Hey!
Was touched by God today! He is ever so patient with us, ever so gracious, forever loving us and giving us His hundred percent! His goodness is just so good; it's indescribable. One really has to experience it to understand.

So, let's do everything out of love, Christ's love that simply overflows out of us.

This is my slogan for the week:
PLAN. FAITH. PRAY. FAST. OBEY.

P.S.
Joan and Si Hua! Jiayous for exams!!! Shine for God=)
Joan, stand strong! Persevere on.
Vivien, don't every give up, even when you only have one ounce of strength left, because GOd provides! Draw strength from God. Jiayou for Northland, it MUST and WILL be completed! =)
Sembawang land: Jiayou!!!
Rest of the schools: Jiayou too! Let's finish CG08 together with God=)
RGS!!! Grow grow grow!!!

love,
reb.

These few days were pretty wet for me. By that I meant that I teared a lot. This post is not to gain sympathy nor to broad-cast to others that I am one very strong girl. I live a translucent life. I just want to share what I’ve been growing through lately and my thoughts. Hopefully, it’ll be able to spur someone on/ encourage them in one way or another.

I have an elder sister who gave birth at the mere age of 18. Nope, she never got married. My whole family went through a lot- from facing all sorts of gossips around the neighborhood to taking responsibilities of babysitting nephew. Looking back, I am glad that we’d pulled through together. Babynephew had brought much joy in this family. This little life actually pulled each and every individual together. My responsibilities increased drastically too. Unfortunately, my sis never grew outta her childish thinking. To cut the story short, I played two roles: My nephew’s Aunt and Mom. I always needed to come back home early to take care of him, often resulting in my neglect of ministry and studies. I never complained. ‘Cuz taking care of him was never a pain in the neck. In fact, it was great joy.

However, more responsibilities were stacked upon my shoulders and many problems just came all at once, I didn’t even had time to dodge or raise the white flag. Just a few days ago, I had these thoughts: ‘’This is definitely not what a 17 year old should be doing. Why is my sister stealing my freedom when I could take that time to hang out with my friends, spend more time with my cg and studies? And yet she could have all the fun outside? Why am I bearing the consequences of the mistake that she’d committed?’’ I felt so stressed, I broke down. There was only babynephew and myself at home at that point of time. And he was soundly asleep in the play-pen. I sobbed so hard and loud that he woke up. Stood up (still in his play-pen), looked at me and cried. Soyeah, you get the picture. This darling of mine is only a year and 4months old, yet he knew that his aunt was upset. He stretched his arms towards me, as if signaling me that he wants to gimme a hug of comfort. I took him out and the both of us continued crying (Dramatic, I know, but true). In the end, he cried himself to sleep in my arms. I looked at him and many thoughts came rushing in my mind just there and then.

My nephew needs me.

As much as I feel inadequate and the fact that I am young, my nephew needs me. My family needs me. The financial state in future is dependent on me. These two factors are more than enough to motivate me to strive hard. For my loved ones, I will stand strong. Sometimes not much of I want, but more of I’ve got to. As for my sister, all I can do is to influence her indirectly and constantly keep her in prayers. I am not ashamed of my sister. She is my sister and I gladly proclaim that. I love her and I long for her to have that love within me from my Heavenly Father.

I don’t know what the message that I want to put across is. Am facing many trials and testings but I know that problems are not continual. They do have an end. I guess God’s really pruning me. No testings are ever easy. But I will rejoice. For the Lord, my God is with me wherever I go. I am honored. He’s looking highly on me. Soyeah, for those who are at the verge of giving up, hang on. Cling on to Him who provides. God place testings in our lives not to condemn us/prove to us that we are weak and He’s the mighty one. We can take advantage of the circumstances we are in. Do not compare or complain bout what you do not have but rather, see what you have and go on from there.

We all have a choice, don’t we?

Let's warmly welcome FuXuan, Priscilla, Joyce Teo, Irina and the convert from Celine side into our Family ! (: haha cause i don't know the name of Celine's convert :D

Well. God was so wonderful in giving me surprise and all the answered prayers . Actually my final confirmation on friday night was only 3people(exclude me) . But the most shocking thing happened next day . Thought my stats dropped by 1 cause Xiao Qin called me and tell me that her mum don't allow her to go out . But at 11.45am , She suddenly called me and tell me that she will be coming to join us for service with her sis . And while i was waiting for her , Leonard brought her classmate , Priscilla , to me and like wow God are you joking with me? Ahmad Ibrahim Sec got visitor lei . haha And she converted ! After service , one of my contact , Yvonne , came all the way down from yishun for BBQ . Came to realize that I hit my goal , one row of visitors(7people including me) . Praise God for all the blessings . Cause I was praying for converts in A.I.SS sister side for 2weeks and God finally answered my prayer. And I just kept tearing and tearing in service due to the conversation that I had with God during worship and altar call .

GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT ONLY 2 WORDS : THANK YOU ! (: THANKS FOR GOING THROUGH ALL THE TOUGH TIMES I HAD WITH ME AND URGING ME TO HAVE FAITH AND PERSEVERENCE ! I GUESS BECAUSE OF THIS LONG LONG PLM , MY FAITH LEVEL INCREASED A LOT A LOT . I LOVE YOU GOD ! YOU ROCK !

North A wrote at ;; 11:26 PM

This is gonna be quite a long post. However, please take take a few minutes to read and I definitely do hope that it'd encourage you in one way or another.

Recently, I had been really stress about the upcoming O levels and as the majority of you should know, Math is my Achilles Heel. I have never really put in the time, effort and hard work in it ever since I started education and people around me knew Math was never my thing. Some claim that it is easy to study. You just gotta practice and yeah, work hard. But I never heeded their advice. Now, I am indeed, starting to regret.

I had a lot in my mind about excelling, or at least, scoring well in Math. Was really stress and tired both emotionally, mentally and physically.

However, God talked to me alot through the people around me.
Christians, non Christians, He'd used them all.

Weikeat and I was planning for Prayermeet for Yishun Sec just last night. Then by the end of our conversation, he asked if I needed anything to pray for. Yeah, I told him about my concerns and worries about my academics and he said he would pray for me.
Half an hour later, he got back to me. He said while he was praying, God reminded him of the story of David and Goliath.

#1- David was quite an insignificant character and he was the last one King saul would ever want and choose to use. Nobody would believe that he would actually defeat Goliath.
Same goes for me. As much as a handful of people are believing in me, there are just as many who says things which tears me down and are certain that I'd screw up my O's.

#2- A stone was used to defeat Goliath. Not swords/choppers/parangs or any kind of weapons one could ever think of. He too, defeated Goliath in the name of the Almighty.

1Sam39-40
"I cannot go in these," he said to Saul, "because I am not used to them." So he took them off. Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.''
1Sam45
''David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied''
1Sam:48-49
''As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.''

Same goes for me. I've got no much resources.

#3-How will God use me greatly and make me shine when I am already good at Math?
Duh right? But it had never crossed my mind. The reason why people get awed by miracles, signs and wonders are because they never expected it coming. If I am already good at Math, excelling it or getting an A for my result would not be as impactful as a testimony as compared to failing badly and getting an A yea?

The above was what God had spoken to me through Weikeat.

Then i received an Email from Daddy.
(He rarely sends me mails. We live under a roof what =.= )
So I really have no idea why he'd send me that.
Oh, by the way, he's not a believer of Christ.
I too, had never told him anything about my worries and concerns.
It was about Will Power and belief in Self.
I guess the photos just sums up everything:

''The doors are open for only those who believes in themselves.''

True, the moment I've decided that I want to grow, satan had already started scheming and planning. The moment my teachers know that Im a Christian, they naturally have higher expectations for me both in my behaviour and academics. However, it is also true that it's moments like this that God's might and power will shine through my willingness to be used by Him. I liked what Sharlene said. Perhaps what David saw in Goliath or through Goliath wasnt much of his build but God standing behind. I know, for sure, that behind each obstacle, God is there and He too, will turn every situation into a triumphant and victorious one!

I can do nothing except to trust, obey, shutup, and wait for the results.
I have nothing.
I only have my Faith.

Yep, i know everyone is feeling really tired as we have a lot of things to handle and also to complete your very own school. but, God will pour down! we won't be able to see the harvest of ours if we give up now. it's just a little bit more and we will win that school of ours. (:

my post is going to be a little longer today. hahaha.

ok, firstly, i went to outreach today,
i was expecting to complete 15 surveys, that's a faith goal to me.
because i usually can't complete even 10 surveys.
i prayed, i wrestled with God, in the end, i managed to did 15 surveys!

Thank God!

i was in mcdonalds when i saw many northlands,
i started to fear, so i just went inside the washroom and prayed.
i asked God for courage and in the end i did it! yeah!!

secondly, i was calling my contacts.
there was this girl which previously i wanted to do survey on her.
and she did!
and she's coming for MCG tomorrow with her friends too!
yeah!! thank God!!

i'm really believing God for more!

and God spoke to me in prayer meet.

Jeremiah 33:3

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

I was prompted that sometimes situations in our life causes us to be blinded from the great plans that God has for us. His great and awesome plans for us.

also, we must call to God to know the unsearchable things that we do not know.
like what causes our group not to grow etc.
we can ask God for our hidden sins, areas we need to improve.
once we did, we'll surely grow!

Jiayou everyone for CLIQUE HERE !

Great sense of urgency for both things:
CG08
O Levels

The stress is piling upon me.
Feeling lethargic and inadequate.
Restless physically but definitely not spiritually.
I thank God for the prayermeets every evening which refreshes my soul, heart and mind.
I am not doing this for Nothing.
When I was doing quiet time two days ago, God dropped this verse in me:

Romans8:18 (NIV)
''I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us''

The Message Version:
''That's why I don't think there's any comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times. The created world itself can hardly wait for what's coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same moment into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens''

Indeed, our sufferings and hurts that we get now is nothing compared to the glory which He would reveal to us in time to come.
I am gonna hang on, no matter what.

To me i really am very amazed about what God has bless us. i think we are really still in our comfort zone because even a guy without arms or legs but only with a chicken feet can serve God no matter what.Nick vujicic is one person that aready show example for us to be a salt and light even thought he don't have some part of the body but if u really love God you not complain but to thank God instead.

I am really happy that i finally completed a cg in opss haha but still growing...really am overwhelm by God's blessing for people but for this ess i want to see a difference in north a so that we can make a impact in other district! there is always HOPE if u keep believing and keep asking GOd. Jiayou everyone for this saturday and Mcg...!!!

i have a blessing to share!!

i received a message from yong qing yesterday about her sheep.

Jie Ling sent an apology sms to yong qing apologising to her for not giving her best to come to service. Because recently her mum is not in a good mood and do not allow her to go out.
Thus, that made Jie Ling lack of courage to ask her mum for service.
and she was indeed, guilty about it.

So yesterday, her primary school friend wanted to meet Anastasia and her.
so Jie Ling decided to pray to God to ask God to help to soften her mum's heart.

And guess what?

HER MUM ALLOW HER TO GO OUT!

Because of this incident, her faith level increase tremendously.
And because of this incident, she believe that God will help her to come service too!
she decided to really commit to this church,
also to persuade Anastasia to come as well.

Wow! Praise God!

I just wanna affirm someone today(:

As we all know, we had North Prayermeet yeah?
Way before that in school, Tingting told me that she doesnt want to turn up and instead, wanted to go out with her friends. I challenged her, and she decided to go for Prayermeet. Then a few hours later, she smsed me again- ''Can i dont go for one time? :X '' She even feigned headache. Haha! This time, it took me quite a while to challenge her. She struggled with her decision, but still made one which pleases God(: *ClapClap

Girls, it is evident that we are growing. However, Growth comes along with Testings.
Like what I'd told TingTing, God's not gonna rise you up just like that. He's gonna test you, for sure! That's confirm-chop-double stamp. Satan's not gonna sit and see us advance the Kingdom. He's gonna lure us away from God and tempt us. Mind you, temptations are always appealing and attractive. However, do be assured that God's not busy sprinkling GoldDust. As long as you keep your focus right and draw strength from Him, Satan is nothing but a teeny-weeny ant.

Romans16:20a- ''The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.''

i want to be strong and courage. whatever God give me that it his plan...
I'm happy being in this plan today, although i alway complain to God, " it too hard for me. "
but i know God standing by my side and cheering me up.
Last time, believe in God it too hard for me, because i didn't see God at all...at camp, i saw alot of people crying because the word of God touch their heart.
But now, i believe there have God, because i had experience him at camp, because i allow God to touch his word to me. because i allow God to use me, because i allow God to come into my heart and put something inside. i believe that..
northview is small, but it never be small. i don't care how people looking at me, i just wanna to plant a seed there. i will be the first seed at there and plant, and i will find another good seed for there. And God promises me that, this seed is going to be a good seed. if you never give up and never seeing lost hope on God, we can see his moving. we can finish our school, if only we trust and believe.

This verse really came to me when ii was swimming. I believed God wanted to tell all of us that only when we come near to God he will come near to us. So we should do everything with God's. Because onces God is going to be with us we can did everything [;
So onces we come near to God he will be there for us to lead us and speak to us and lead us. So let's do everything with God and not forgetting with FAITH! if you did things without faith ii think there is not going to have anything happen. Faith is all we need while we walking through the race [:

It's the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won't last forever. It won't be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.

yes, today i went swimming with celine and anqi. i never swim because my hand very pain...
then i was talking with God. then i think of why northview keep on never grow, why sheep like this ? i keep on asking God, then God let me think about other caregroup, everybody go through this. even celine group, keep on never grow here and there, but the end, now she have 7 people in opss!
then go home, God remind me about this verse but in message version is truth. i thank God for that, he let me remind of this.. if i never give up one day, Northview can grow. Northview will compete cg08!

My heart simply melted yesterday during altar call . Seeing so many people keep coming down from their seats to say sinner's prayer and accept God into their life. Though my contact left nexus during sermon, i never really ask her to stay cause this kind of thing is expected. Even though she thinks that she don't need God in her life but i thank God she came for the drama. And Yeah, there's 6contacts from North A accepted Christ into their life.

"Prayer is when the Power Of God is unleashed" by John C.Maxwell . I really agree a lot with this phrase cause without prayer, God cannot do miracles in our life. Just like the testimony of North. North kept praying everyday for revival and now North finally broke the 100mark last week. We did not do much but just kept praying and praying for God to move in North.

North A sisters, let's keep on praying and praying for God to soften the hearts of the people in Yishun, Khatib And Sembawang land. Sisters jiayou ! Let's be courageous people and chiong all out for God ! (:

I had a long conversation with Xinru last night at Centre Point MacDonald's while waiting Joyce to join us after her ULM. She had asked me questions that never really got me into thinking but the answers just came out so naturally.

''What's that thing that just keep you going on in this race?''
My answer was this -- My many personal encounter and conversation with God. The Living testimony of my BabyNephew would be good enough to shut my mouth. Perhaps you could think of this question yourself too. Why are you serving? And what's that thing which would keep you on fire for Him?

Then on our way home, both of us kept silent for a little while. And as usual, I was thinking.
I was reflecting my life. Then i looked at her and simply told her, ''I really love my life.''
Out of 10, who would really make such a statement? Most of 'em would most probably go ''Life sucks man.'' / ''Life's nothing but a bull of shit.'' Sure, my life's far from perfect. Yet I could just declare that I love my life.
There's nothing much to complain about, seriously.
I have Jesus. A great and awesome God.
And that's more than enough for me to thank for for the rest of my life(:

Today ESS was awesome,
ii was totally get touched by God.He will spoke to me the entire ESS.
Firstly,
pastor Shirley teaching she said even we did lots and lots and lots of things for God but den we dint spent quality time with God, how God is going to speak to us or help us ? I was like ahhh God you right ii dint really spent quality time with you as ii was like do QT den end prayer. is like just a few mins. And ii was like keep asking God why no growth in the group and ii wanted God to speak to me but den ii dint really let God to really speaks to me. As ii start my QuiteTime early and end early. ii really want thank God for telling me the area ii should change in which is to spent more quality time wif God in order to have growth in ur life [:
Secondly,
Worshipping time is really wow! powerful it really touched my heart. The worshipping song is "Here I am To worship" & " Above All". It might be familiar or ii did hear before but is like totally different. God really spoke to me through this 2 songs which ii really cried through my heart.God said when the song "Above all" was played that when ii am fall he will pick me up, when i in trouble he will walk with me through the race.
Another song " Here i am to worship" he spoke to me tat in [Mat 11:28]
"Come to me,all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest."

This is God spoke to me through the whole ESS larhs. It is really felt so warm staying with God in my life. He really never fail to encourage me whenever ii am down [: God have help me lots and lots and lots and ii have faith tat CG08 will be completed within a few more weeks. It is going to be tough but with God's strength we can do everything [: I really wan to thank God for really forgiving all my sins ii had done and he gave me a really warm family in the church [: Yup so let's continue to spent quality time with God and ask God to speak to you in your life [: CG08 must be completed!! Amount is not the problem but is the amount of people we have shared the gospel to, yup Let's Perserve On ! Don't let devil to destroy us but we are going to used the WOG to destroy him !

Today's ESS was a BLAST!!! So many people receive Christ into their lives=) I was really touched during worship, "Above All", that I started tearing and I don't exactly know why. Just touched by God's love and Jesus' sacrifice for us on the cross=)

Jiayous people! Next week's ESS--CLIQUE HERE 2! Don't miss the chance of sharing and inviting to all your friends!!! RGS MUST HAVE PEOPLE COMING AND CONVERTING NEXT SATURDAY! It will be a day where people can really see God moving. It will be a day when there's going to be a HUGE change.

Jiayou people. Be strengthened by God. Don't be discouraged. Don't let your guards down. The devil might strike any moment. Just persevere on and continue fighting. Remember that WE have the victory in the end. We're fighting FROM victory, not FOR it, isn't it? =) It's just like God has killed the commander of the army in the battle and we just have to eliminate all the soldiers=)

God, we're all ready for the harvest! Help us and bless us with people who are available and responsive. We believe in You. That it can be done. CG08 will be completed in NORTH. It must be done. God, it's not about us. It's all about You. We don't want all the glory. We want to see people saved. We want to experience Your power and love even more.

Lord, We want more! We want more! We want more! We want more! We want more! We want more! Bless us! We love You Jesus=)

hey girls

Today i didn't go school because i was unwell.really was unhappy with my physical body but i still went for prayer meet hahah =D i was really excited for confirmation and as well was discontented with the result. I was praying for revival in opss which i expected God to give me at least 2 opss but i was amazed that God gave me 3 opss instead (2 girls and 1 boy). I believe prayers works if u keep on praying and desire for God to bless you. Always stand firm in God and u will see Cg 08 come to past. There is always HOPE in your school don't ever give up. Althought your land is dry there is always a seed for u and keep searching. Always look at the positive side instead of the negative side.

today ii ended school at about 1250? and northbrooks ended at 1215. ii was like God ?? should ii outreach? is like impossible. But this words keep coming to my mind " onces you have faith everything will change from impossible to possible ". So ii went to outreach but my shock that wow there is no Northbrooks or OPPS. ii was like God!!!!!!!!! bu ke yi like that, tmr will be ESS ii cant go svc without bring anyone there. then ii keep complaining to God.I prayed to God asking him to really send northbrooks down to me [: At about 2+ ii wanted to go northbrooks to outreach but i dint know wad to stop me from going but thank God ii dint go cause not long God really bless me with 15surveys. 15surveys might be small amount but to me is like God really bless cause 2+ and ppl might have went home. But to the surprised God really help me through outreaching.
Secondly,
After PLM,
i ran to tution because ii was late. So i was praying God really led me to the place and really let me rush down asap and to my surprise ii was missing! but yet ii still reach there on time! God really answered my prayer today.
thirdly,
He blessed me by maybe having a contact for ESS. ii really pray hard that she will come but ii have faith that God is going to have miracles and really soften the contact heart. I commit everything to God!

God, thank you!!!

Today, I knew that Si Hua is sick so I went to find her. I didn't tell her that I was going to her house. It was mean to be a surprise for her. After Pray Like Mad, I shepherded Celine and headed to find her. It was around 9pm, it was my first time visiting someone at such a late hour but I knew that I need to go because God wanted me to show His love and concern through me to her. Hence, I went. During the noon, I asked liyan how to go to her block then liyan told me to take 804 or 806 from Yishun. Walking with Celine to the bus interchange, bus 806 came and i quickly boarded the bus. I did not know when to alight. After that I realised that i alighted the wrong stop because i remembered her block wrongly. Thank God, i alighted 1 stop early only if not i was going to take cab there. Reaching her block, I called her but no one pick up. I was panic. Then I started to pray, I told God that I had come so far and I really do not wan to waste this trip down. Hence, after calling again, she picked up the phone. I was so happy =] I told her to come now but she couldn't because everyone in her house slept already so she can't come down and find me. Hence, i asked her, how about me going up to your house? Then she agreed. I left the things outside her house. I went down and looked at her door to see whether had she took the things i left outside her house. Few mins past, there was no sight of the door open. In the end, I told God that by 10pm if she still didn't open the door i would go off. However, i was rather impatient. By 9.03pm I told God that I did not wan to wait because I wan to go home early. Then i compromised the timing to 9.05pm. and i would go off. When the clock striked 9.05pm, I went off but the door wasn't opnen yet. I was sad that God didn't show me miracle because I was afraid that I put at the wrong house. But GUESS WHAT???!!! BY 9.05pm and 48 sec, I RECEIVED AN SMS FROM SI HUA... I was so delight because God answered my prayer in a powerful way and amazing way. I'm so SO SO so SO SO SO happy =] oh, another blessing was... when i walked to the bus-stop, I saw that 806 was the only bus to her house. Thank God I didn't take bus 804 =] WOW.. amazing right??!!! God is so good =]

So blessed by God =]

Si Hua, get well soon =] Hope to see you in Service and CG hehe =] Nice to meet you =D

Hey!
Today I was a li'l discouraged. Cuz there aren't any confirmed visitors=(
I kept asking God, What should I do now? Is it because of me? What areas haven't I grown?
But I know, no matter what I'll still keep faith in the Lord.
Your love started this fire; Your strength keeps it from dying out; Your power ensures it spreads the warmth=)
All Glory goes to God. I? I didn't do much. God provided me with simply everything.
I just want to see people saved, people saved by Your sacrifice on the cross.
I just need You.

I remember the words You spoke to me through Joyce.
You said to have faith. Because You are a Faithful God.
You said all Your promises will come true.
You told me not to be discouraged.
Yes, I will listen. I will obey what You say. Because You said so.

People, let's have faith in God. Let's just trust in Him. Let our purpose for sharing the Gospel not be because of wanting to climb higher in the ranks. Let our purpose be because of God.

in the journey of life, nothing's easy, no shortcuts,
but to keep running.
wherever we run, obstacles also hinders, slopes often make us fall.
Weepings, complains, whining filled the air.

Why there's no one with me? Why there's problems?

and that one person came and make a difference,
"Come, let's do it together." some said yes, some rejected.
many can picked themselves up, but fall, and they climb up alone,
whereas some went even further with that person.
even when they fall,
at least they're assured that someone will pick them up.

that's the difference when Christ is in our lives .

Remind us where you are

Give us faith so we'll be safe

We ask that life be kind
And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Need to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

God, thank you so much for blessing me and staying right beside me to hear my cries , my complains , my worries and also carrying my burdens . I really don't know what to say but just 5 words " THANK YOU , I LOVE YOU " everytime when i reflect on this long walk with You . Without Your Grace and mercy , i won't be here serving You to my fullest . Also thank You for placing so many people in my life to brighten me , impact me , spurring me on , the love , friendships and so much more . I simply become speechless when You've done numerous or should i say uncountable things in my life without me knowing .

Wanna thank You for blessing me with wisdom recently . If it's not Your wisdom that really brought me through this week , i guess i won't be able to catch up with so many things that i've missed out in studies .
Wanna also thank You for blessing me a gorgeous shepherd to spur me on all this while . Shepherd , thank God for you for persevering on me for so long though i always give you so much problems . I guess through this period , we've really got closer . Haha . Without your past scoldings , I won't have grown out of my hidden sins :D I really appreciate your love and guidence . Thanks for going through so much nonsense and problems together with me :) Let's work hard together with God until seeing the completion of CG08 and also our major exam , O level ! XD
Thank You for giving me such a wonderful friendship . If it's not You being here with me when I am facing friendship problems , I guess I won't be able to hang on till now . This rope that is tied on my neck has successfully untied . Yeah ! You made me understand what is the real meaning of friendship and also how to handle it when such things happen again ( hopefully not ) . From now on , I really want to treasure this very precious friendship and I don't want to lose it again .

Everbody's posting 'bout MCG..
Sure, it was quite a blast(:
Though quite a number of visitors went home earlier, I am rather certain that they'd enjoyed themselves.
I was quite reluctant to act as well.Hahaha! But I kept telling myself:
''For God..For God..5mintues, and it's over already..''
Through this event, I also got to see the many many beautiful sides of my Dearest sisters in NorthA too.

Alrighty~ Let's affirm one by one(:

Sharlene- Really appreciate the time that you forked out in coming down all the way to Sembawang and helping out in theBBQ even though you were informed last minute. NorthA loves you(:

Joyce- Bwahaha~ I shall not thank you for uploading the video to YOUTUBE (@!#$#$%^) Thankyou for making such a clown outta yourself like how you always do. Haha, no laaa.. You ran here and there to make sure things were done and visitors were well taken care of. You are a great example for me to learn from(:

Xinru- HeyYO Hip-Hopper! Hahaha. Thankyou for well, being in the short skit even though our lines were so last minute. Oh, and although you were exhausted by the end of the day, you still collected stats and money from the other CLs without complaining. Thankyou, you are appreciated(:

Celine- NerdyCeline! I really see the different side of you yesterday. Man, can you act ! Girls, if you ever need someone to act in a drama/skit, pick Celine! She's a natural in this area. Haha! You're someone whom i look up to too.. You brought many things down from your home, forked out money to buy other essential stuff for BBQ, took care of visitors, cooked food for us to eat etc..Just wanna let you know that your hardwork and effort is not in vain(:

Vivien- Thankyou for feeding me with the sausages(: You've led well for the games and yea i agree with Joyce, you were loud and clear when giving of instructions. Thankyou for patting on my shoulder, asking me to ''Jiayou'' for the skit. It meant a lot (:

AnQi- It's very evident that you'd grown alot. To see you serving with Joy, running here and there (dontknow for what) but im sure you're doing something productive, LOL. ThankGod for you for leading the games with Vivien too! At the end of the day, your white shirt became black. Hahaha! You had definitely worked hard and played hard!

Last but definitely not the least, My Beloved sheep~
Mandy, TingTing, Liyan- Yay! All of you brought visitors down! Am really happy and proud of you all as you all had sticked around with the visitors and brought food for them to eat, making sure that they are not left out etc. I am happy and God is happier. Continue to grow ba! (:

This MCG was really an eye opening for me because this is my first time holding MCG in my own unit. All along, I dont like to have BBQ as an event in my group because it's very troublesome and tiring. However, knowing the fact that it can attract many people and my girls are all very excited about it. So... I decided to go with the flow. (: Like what I said earlier, it was an eye opening event because God blessed the weather. It was neither sunny nor raining, it was just nice. PRAISE GOD!

It's true that we didnt hit 100.. However, we finally have a breakthrough and we hit 70++. It's pretty amazing because usually we will hit less than 30 for MCG. Really want to thank God for pouring down in the BBQ event. God you are good, You are awesome wonderful!! :D
To describe a bit more about the event, it was fun, most of the contacts said that they would like to come again. i was quite shocked that the visitors really enjoyed this BBQ because we do not have much workers to take care of them. The ratio is like 1 yhope: 5visitors. That's why God really helped us a lot. Thank God that there is enough food as well, and I believe girls are big-eaters too. 70plus of us actually finished 200 hotdogs, 120 chicken wings, 120 fishballs, 340 marshmellows, 1 big plate of beehoon and 1 big plate of mee. A total of 25litres of rose syrup.
DO pray with us that the contacts will come for ESS and North A shall hit 70!!!

Really want to thank God for...

Sharlene- who came down all the way from Tampines to help out in the BBQ. I'm sorry for scalding w the BBQ lighter. I really appreciate your help. Thanks for looking after my visitors.

Xinru- Thank God for xinru for her house's fridge. Help me to thank your mum too for marinating the chicken wings. Thanks for all the cookies and biscuits. It really fill my stomach and it makes me happy! Thanks for the house phone.. Without it, I can't call my visitors. Are you happy that your house phone is a biblical phone because it extends God's kingdom.. Your perservering spirit of calling contacts really encouraged me, continue to jia you for ESS. I'm sure you will hit beyond 15!

An Qi- Thanks a lot for making countless trip together with me to get all the food and utencils done. I really like your spirit of wanting to serve God's kingdom even though you are tired. Thanks for contributing your 8kg of charcoal and brought it from your house to the BBQ. I know it's very heavy. Thanks for your willingness. Thanks for always reminding me to have faith in God about the 100people in MCG and you never fail to encourage me. By the way, you did a great job in your games.Thanks for giving me beehoon and mee as well.

Vivien- Thanks for leading the games today. It was great! I had fun in the squirrel game. Your voice was loud and clear. Thanks for coming earlier to help to carry the beehoon and mee. Anyway, Thank God for me!! Cos I helped to sweep away the dead crockhroach so you can enter the lift.. HAHAHA. Okay, i will stop the crap. Thanks for feeding me with food, i felt touched that you are concerned about my stomach.

Celine- Thanks for making many trips to help me to buy food. You are indeed a very obedient and good spirit sheep. Whenever I last minute to call you buy things, you will never reject me. Thanks for being so supportive. I know it's troublesome to bring all the thongs and nets down, because after using it, you still had to wash it. But you being so on, you don't mind bringing it. If not, the cost will be even higher. Thanks for being finding it not troublesome to extend the KOG and serve NorthA. and acting nerd in the drama. hahaha! You look so cute!!

Joan- hahaha! I captured it! For those who want to see the drama, I'll upload it tmr. So, at the moment just wait.. Thanks for being so willing to write out the script. Anyway, you acted well. It suits your character as well. HAHAHA. If there is any event like this, I will definitely ask you to lead again because you are gifted. Thanks for taking your time to come out eith this drama, I know it's not easy because you are having your O'levels this year and you could reject me. But you didn't. Thanks for playing a part in this family (North A).

As for Ace, Yong Qing and Liyan and Rebecca, even though you are not invloved in the pre-BBQ.. I really like your spirit during the BBQ. You all are very serving, taking care of the visitors well and helping me to pack up at the end. Really enjoyed the time spent with you all. Next time, I will definitely get your involved in the pre-BBQ. Are you excited?! Hahaha. I' sure your are very willing right? Your must be sad that for this BBQ, you are not involved in the pre-BBQ. I know your too well, don't be sad.. =P

Ultimately, the person that I really want to THANK is God! Without Him, this MCG won't be so successful.
God, bless us in ESS too. We really want to see uncountable.... WE, THE NORTH A WILL BE THE SEED.

Hey!
Yeppy, MCG was a BLAST! [as so many people have highlighted... HAHA!] =) Though... RGS's confimation drop yet again, to like 1 person coming---Mei Yin!--- but I really want to thank God that I really got to know her even better.

Sometimes, I really ask God: God, why is it that those people whom I really want to see them coming are not coming, but those who are like Christians already they're so free to come? Yeah, Mei Yin is a Christian... Lol.

But I really want to thank God... Because I saw a Canberra Sec contact---Annie and her friend, Su Hui---at Sembawang MRT when I was queueing up with Mei Yin to buy bubbletea!!! I was really surprised and happy that God helped me in that surprising manner=0 because I couldn't contact her and her another friend, Pauline. [previously, I prayed for God to surprise me this day! AND HE DID!]

Actually I was disappointed that RG's attendance dropped YET AGAIN. But as I was going to Sembawang on the MRT, I talked to God about these pressing issues. Then... It's like... I believe God wants to tell me that, the fundamental, essential, basic thing is our relationship with Jesus.

Other things like evaxing and sharing the Gospel... They truly are important, but not as important as this relationship. This is sort of common sense as well. If we're not close to Jesus, not really experiencing Him alot and stuff, how can we share His love? I know this is very basic, but yet it is important.

So, numbers are not the No. 1 thing, isn't it? The more important questions are: Are we close to Jesus? Is our walk with God right? Are we trusting God with everything we have? Without this relationship, what we labour is but in vain.

Walk walk walk walk in the light, walking in the light of God!!! [Joan's and Anqi's fav "Ally" song]
Jiayou! We can complete CG08 with a right relationship with God!

love!
Reb
