SOMETHING INTERESTING I DID DURING MY FIRST UNI BREAK :)

Spiritual gifts are tools God gives Christians to do the work of the ministry -- to fulfill the Great Commission to reach, baptize, and teach and to minister to one another. Every Christian receives at least one gift at the moment of salvation. Spiritual gifts are not rewards, are not natural talents, are not a place of service, are not an age-group ministry, and are not a specialty ministry. They express themselves through various ministries which, in turn, accomplish a variety of results. A spiritual gift is the primary channel by which the Holy Spirit ministers through the believer. It is a supernatural capacity for service to God -- and He gives you a supernatural desire to perform the duties of that gift. Spiritual gifts are tools for building the church. They are a source of joy in your Christian life and influence your motives. A spiritual gift is a divine calling with a divine responsibility, because what God has gifted you to do, He has called you to do, and what He has called you to do, He has gifted you to do.

There are three categories of gifts: The Miraculous Gifts, generally known today as Charismatic Gifts; the Enabling Gifts which all Christians have the ability to develop (faith, discernment, wisdom, and knowledge -- qualities possessed rather than activities performed); and Team Gifts which are activity, service, or task-oriented. The Team Gifts are functional and involve speaking or ministering. Chances are, you have several of these gifts that vary in different degrees and intensity. In many cases, spiritual gifts even complement your secular employment. The Spiritual Gifts Analysis you took identified your dominant TEAM GIFTS which will help you find your place on the team in your church. Prayer and serving God will also help you see where God wants you. This profile gives you a simple bar graph showing how all the gifts relate to you and to each other, but analyzes indepth only your dominant and secondary gifts which are the ones that will have greater influence in your life.

Your dominant gifts are Showing Mercy, Pastor/Shepherd


The results of your Spiritual Gifts Inventory indicate that your number one dominant gift is MERCY SHOWING! The Greek word "ellco" means to feel sympathy with or for others. As a mercy-shower you have the Spirit-given capacity and desire to serve God by identifying with and comforting those who are in distress. You understand and comfort your fellow Christian. You enter into the grief or happiness of others and have the ability to show empathy which is to feel WITH others, not just for others.

As a mercy-shower you are willing to deal with and minister to people who have needs that most people feel very uncomfortable working with. You seem to say the right thing at the right time. Your personality is likely one of soft-spoken love. It hurts you to scold someone; you are very non-condemning. People love you because of all the love you give them. You find it easy to express yourself and are outgoing with a low-key, inoffensive personality. You are easy to talk to, responsive to people, a good listener, peaceable, and agreeable. You tend to make decisions based on feelings more than fact and like to think about things for a while before making a decision.

In your burden to comfort others, your heart goes out to the poor, the aged, the ill, the underprivileged, and so on. You tend to attract people who are hurting or rejoicing because you identify with them. Be careful not to let others use you. Try not to resent others who are not as understanding as you. Refrain from becoming a gossiper when you are around other mercy-showers. Do not let your circumstances control you. Because of your supernatural ability to show mercy, others accuse you of taking up for people, being a softy and a compromiser. They may think you are too emotional.

Mercy-showers make excellent counselors. However, left untrained, you may destroy yourself by your tendency to take people's problems home with you. Your empathy can become detrimental without personal training on how to deal with it.

Beware of Satan's attack on your gift. He can cause pride because of your ability to relate to others. He may influence you to disregard rules and authority. You may experience a lack of discipline because of strong feeling for those who hurt due to disobedience and sin. Don't fall into Satan's trap of complaining and griping.

HOW CAN YOU USE YOUR GIFT? Your gift is used best in times of sorrow and in times of great joy. It fits well with another gift of service such as deacon, youth worker or hospital visitation. With a counseling course, you could become a good counselor. You may serve as a hospital, nursing home, or shut-in worker; a funeral coordinator and provider of sympathy and support; or a poverty center worker. You would do well as an usher or greeter and welcome center worker or hospitality person. You may want to work in a telephone ministry. You would make people feel welcome on a newcomer visitation team. Other appropriate ministry areas include missions, committee member, furlough assistance, and correspondence helper. You would work well with the elderly and with people who have mental and physical disabilities, in nursing, and with special ministries to migrants, released offenders or abused children and women.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The results of your Spiritual Gifts Inventory indicate that your second dominant gift is PASTORING/SHEPHERDING! The Greek word "poimen" means pastor. In Paul's spiritual gifts listing in Ephesians 4:11, this term is translated "pastor." Although the word "poimen" is translated pastor only one time in Scripture it is used sixteen additional times. The remaining sixteen are all translated "shepherd." Therefore, we are actually discussing the GIFT of shepherding, not the POSITION of pastor. Though a good pastor must have the gift of shepherding, everyone who has the gift of shepherding is not called to be pastor. The gift can be used in many positions in a church.

As a gifted shepherd, you have the Spirit-given capacity and desire to serve God by overseeing, training, and caring for the needs of a group of Christians. You are usually very patient, people-centered, and willing to spend time in prayer for others. You tend to be a "Jack of All and Master of ONE," meaning you are usually dominant in one of the speaking gifts (evangelist, prophet, teacher, exhorter) as well. You are often authoritative, more a leader than a follower, and expressive, composed, and sensitive. Your pleasing personality draws people to you.

You have a burden to see others learn and grow and are protective of those under your care. You want to present the whole Word of God and do not like to present the same materials more than once. You are willing to study what is necessary to feed your group and are more relationship oriented than task oriented. You are a peace-maker and diplomat - very tolerant of people's weaknesses. You tend to remember people's names and faces. You are more concerned with doing for others than others doing for you. You are faithful and devoted and may become a workaholic. You can become an all-purpose person in order to meet needs.

People with the gift of shepherding make the best Sunday school teachers and group leaders because their desire is to go beyond just teaching or leading, to shepherd and minister to the daily needs of their students. The position of Sunday school teacher or group leader is an extension of the pastoral ministry in the church. These groups should be shepherded on a small scale the same as the pastor shepherds the whole congregation on a large scale.

Be careful to involve other people; don't try to do it all yourself. Work on making people accountable. Do not be overly protective of your "flock." Because of these potentially weak areas, other people may think it is your job to do all the work; they rely too heavily on you. You may be expected to be available at all times, know all the answers, and be at every function. Learn when to say no.

Beware of Satan's attack on your gift. He will cause discouragement when the load gets heavy, and pride because your "sheep" look up to you. You may develop family problems because of too little time and attention. You may become selfish when "sheep" feed in other pastures.

HOW CAN YOU USE YOUR GIFT? This gift is a great help in many areas. You may serve as a Sunday school teacher, small group leader, pastor or assistant pastor, bus captain, special ministry leader (such as youth, children, men, etc.), nursery worker or as a half-way house or other type shelter volunteer. You may consider serving as a dormitory leader in a college, orphanage, children's home, etc. Scout troops would appreciate your assistance as a den leader.

Building an effective team in your church depends on putting the right people in the right places. The best way to determine what place each person belongs in is by determine everyone's spiritual gifts. But, just discovering your spiritual gift is not enough.

Here's the real challenge. Many Christians are asking the question, "What is my spiritual gift?" When in reality they need to be asking, "What is a spiritual gift?" They do not understand the relationships of spiritual gifts. That is, they don't understand how a spiritual gift relates to their life, how it relates to the will of God for their life, how it relates to the lives of those around them, how it relates the local church, or how it relates to the body of Christ as a whole. To give John J. Christian an additional name and make him John J. Exhorter Christian is only doing him an injustice. Having a new name or title does not make you a more effective, more fulfilled, or a better Christian, nor does it give you any more understanding of yourself or those around you. Most contemporary material written on spiritual gifts does an adequate job in helping you recognize, discover, and define what your spiritual gifts are. Also, many do a fine job of teaching on the individual parts of the body, but few complete their teaching by assembling the body, thus showing how church members can work as complementing, effective, and efficient team. Thus, teaching a person only what their spiritual gift is without teaching them what a spiritual gift is, is like giving someone a new tool without giving them the operator's manual. They will never understand it fully nor will they be able to use it to its maximum potential. The same is true with your spiritual gifts.

Now that you have taken this inventory and know what your spiritual gifts are, we encourage you to study the principles that revolve around and relate to spiritual gifts. These principles combined with recognizing your gifts have been proven to dramatically change lives AND build churches. We have many resources available to help you better understand your gifts and how they relate to all areas of your life. Plus, we have resources to equip and assist you in teaching spiritual gifts and biblical team building to others. Furthermore, we have teachers who can come to your church and teach private seminars for you group. For additional information on resources or seminars just click on the appropriate button below.

Analysis of Comparison Charts

Could the results from these comparison charts be skewed? Probably to some degree. Two factors to consider are 1) Results are not compiled from the Christian public at large but only those who are Internet users. 2) On the laity side, a much larger percentage of those taking the spiritual gifts inventory on-line are women (63.7%). Women tend to score high in the Gift of Shepherding because the characteristics of the gift of shepherding are very similar to the God-given instincts of mothering which comes natural to most women. Although many women have the gift of shepherding and it manifests itself in many areas of service, we believe women should consider this factor when evaluating whether or not they actually have the dominant gift of shepherding. They may want to also look closely at their second dominant gift.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking of anything.
- James 1:2-4 -


well ... being back in melbourne for bout .. ermm .. 2weeks? and wat have i been up to?? nothing much other than house hunting. and to no surprise at all.. it wasnt a fruitful one. it's SO FREAKING HARD to get a house!!!!!!!!!

seriously.. i had no idea getting a house can be so hard. i mean hello.. we are going to pay the rent .. and yea.. doesnt it matter the most? but nope .. to the people here. .. there;s more than tat .. loads of procedures and stuff.

FIRSTLY, you gotta check and make sure that the property is available.

THEN, you've gotta call or make arrangements so that you can get the keys or the tenants to allow you to inspect the house.

AFTER THAT, inspect the house! haha

IT IS THEN FOLLOWED BY.. submitting an application form to the office

DEPENDING on the real estate agents.. you will either be interviewed or somehow undergone a personality check

IN A FEW DAYS OR MINUTES.. you'll be notified whether is your application successful.

if not .. repeat the whole thing again.

yup..that's how it works.. but sigh.. sadly .. i wasnt one of the few lucky ones cos my application has been rejected. but it doesnt mean anything... well .. of course i was a lil disappointed and discouraged... but still i believe this is the year of jubilee .. like wat ps rusell has preached. God's favour is upon us. yes. all we need to do is just have faith :D how awesome is that!!!

honestly .. this process has been tough and being all away from your comfort zone and with no clue on where to start .. no housemates to be physically there to discuss can be frustrating and lost.. and when you dont have a car and you need to walk or catch public ... bus 11~ haha .. aint cool at all ... but glad and thankful that most of the time i have company.. and eventually .. a chauffeur returns :)but yea .. tat's not the point.. my point is that .. this house hunting thing.. has definitely .. make me learnt a lot!!!!

i've gone through anticipation, disappointment, frustration, excitement and even on the urge of giving up. but guess what? God is so good that He knows every single thing that you're going through. He will pick you up!

today. i was really lost and aimless. dint know wat else to do or wherelse to go since most houses i've seen and most of them had been taken. i was literally clueless, getting off the train station with completely no idea of where to go next or wat to do.. i havent been praying as hard though... i know i should but i'm just on the spot where i couldnt bring myself to Him. i felt no kick ..[ bad excuse indeed] and .. just felt so gross!!!! so .. bleh!

sigh. guess wat?? God understands. i was out of the blue listening to the radio with my phone .. trying to kill my boredom and distract myself .. then .. for the first time .. i heard a bible verse from the radio

James 1:2-4 duno wat version the radio uses but i'm taking this from NIV
Consider it pure joy, my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking of anything.

i think this version sounded complicated. the radio one was easier to understand. but generally. i was so TOUCHED and amazed. yes. continue to praise and find joy in the Lord when facing different circumstances and situation .. cos God is testing our faith and when we have gone through these stages, we will be stronger in character :) how awesome and timely was that!! thank you Lord. so cool.

truly God knows our needs and our weakness. i wanted to just give up and just watever..but then the next song was "dont give up" .. dint know such song existed .. but yea .. how coincidental was it? not at all. God has planned it. and i'm so grateful that He has shown me this verse to encourage me to just keep persevering and keep trusting in him. I DO believe that He will provide us with a better house and He has it all ready for us. yes. trust me. just wait and see! hehhee :P

thank you so much Lord Jesus. and also wanna thank all those who have been praying for me. thank you to mandy and kingsley for the awesome company. mak, heebs and sam.. you guys owe them too, especially kingsley for driving me around. thank you all who had tolerated, encouraged, supported and cheered me up. thank you :)[jimuis,boss and chinfei]

cant wait for my housemates to comeback :) :) thank you sam,mak,heeb,aunty amy,aunty jane,sam's mum,heeb's mum and all the parents for your help!!! i'll prolly be insane without you guys!

big thank you to my parents and family. glad tat sis is back but i'm sure she's not as glad as i am to see her back in melb. hehee :P love u guys LOTS!!!!!!!

suddenly .. i feel so blessed :)

2007 POST #1 FROM MELBOURNE

well .. being back wasnt as easy as i tot it would be.. but thank God tat i'm safe and sound and landed in a piece with a nice lady sitting next to me :)

flight was ok. watched couple of movies and yea .. hardly slept as usual. the movie by the rock.. cant really remember wat's the name was actually REALLY good. i was holding on to my tears while watching it. well ..actually. .when i had my eyes closed... i was literally trying SO SO HARD to hold on to my tears .. all i see was pictures of the priceless moments .. though there was a tinge of regret in me .. tat perhaps i could add more colours to my short 2 months holz .. personally .. it was good :) and everything i see and do in the plane simply reminds me of someone or something.

have u ever had the feeling that no matter how hard you try to divert your thoughts.. things just kept appearing and reminding you of somethings in the past.. yeap .. tat was my flight. oh yea ..did i mention that i was carrying 2 hand luggages of 20kgs simply makes things worse??? hahaha .. but thank God that when i went past the immigration with teary eyes and the officer at the gate was nice enuff trying to cheer me up .. and just let me go pass with my you-could-so-tell-that-these-luggages-had-the-"i-am-overweight"-sign-on-them bags ...but in all ... yea .. it was very unexpected .. with all the unforesee-able overwhelms :P but yea .. 7 hours went past alrite :)

then there was ENROLMENT
full on .. landed.showered.and next stop .. monash clayton.enrolment.how quick was tat!! i wasnt even awake but do i seem like i have a choice?.. dragged my body to figure my way out in the campus that i had only been once. wasnt a pleasing experience of getting lost and trying to find your way. but luckily the people were fairly nice to me.. dint really mind showing me around .. so thank God for that. being late for enrolment perhaps wasnt a wise idea either when you realised after all the hastle that you could actually do them online!! >.<

after approx 3 hrs of finding my way. enrolling with a tiredsome body and heavy eyes. made my monash yucky looking id. and underwent some pressure of going to camps which according to my 6th sense is gonna get ppl drunk and stuff..i declined politely.. or perhaps that day i was just not in the mood to get myself into all the hoo-haa events.headed off from clayton and started to journey home. where my body dreadfully desired to be after wat?20hrs of staying awake? to me.. it's a killer.

well .. first time ever that i felt so ... ermmm ... duno how to describe ..
i felt REAL bad in monash.was all alone and yea .. just felt as though i couldnt fit in .. i duno y.. perhaps the fact that it's a total new environment and all things have to start afresh just couldnt stop ringing bells in my head bother me greatly. the reality that everyone was at the moment so out of reach put me in a situation as though i'm in a foreign land. those moments, i realised how important my besties in melbourne are to me. and also at those moments, i realised that being at home was truly a blessing, knowing that everyone is just there for me... no one was back in clayton.. n i was stranded there. sigh. how great can tat be.

somehow, there's just this lil voice in my head that said, "God will be with you no matter where you go."

initially, the fact tat i'm all alone was activating my tears-gland.. if there is such a gland :P but this small voice reminds me of even more stuff.. of wat the pastors had told me and i have to venture out simply makes me wanna cry even more!!! i was just so touched and yet somehow.. homesick. and during then .. i was at the train already and there was a guy sitting opposite me. for a speed lightning short while .. i felt as though i'm some girl in those MTV holding on to their tears in the carriage of a moving train .hahahaha .. but i know the reason i shed my tears are differnt from them.

i felt lonely but i know in actual fact i am not really
i am scared yet .. He somehow gives me a sense of peace
i felt empty but i know He will fill me in.


perhaps those were tears of sorrow and tears of joy.

in all, i'm in awe :)

by the way.. why it seemed as though i cry alot eh?? *question marks appear on my hear*

please pray for me to be able to find a house and settle in asap.
and also .. pray that i'll be able to cope with the new change and the new environment. pray for new and old friendship.

of course.. i miss everyone still .. but thank God that there are people who never fail to brighten my day and simply sets the downward curve into a sunny smile on my face. you know who you guys are. if u're thinking .. is it me she's talking about? .. yes .. it's u .. and i just wanna say thank you :) and yea ..thanks for all the prayers:) :) i love u all very berry much :)

*big huggies*

btw. went to megan and grace's combined 18th party. update nextime when i get the pics.

happy 19th to wei :D

SOWING SEEDS OF PEACE

Plant goodness,harvest the fruit of loyalty, plow the new ground of knowledge. -Hosea 10:12-

Want to see a miracle? Plant a word of love heartdeep in a person's life. Nurture it with a smile and a prayer, and watch what happens.

An employee gets a complement. A wife receives a bouquet of flowers. A cake is baked adn carried next door. A widow is hugged. A gas statio attendant is honoured. A preacher is praised.

Sowing seeds of peace is like sowing beans. You dont know why it works; you just know it does. Seeds are planted, and topsoils of hurt are shoved away.

Dont forget the principle. Never underestimate the power of a seed.

SONGS THAT CURRENTLY GOT STUCK IN MY HEAD

i lovey dovey these songs :) they are just so sweet and .. simply just melt my heart!!!

oh ya .. by the way .. i'm back from bangkok !!! will post about it later :P with pics :P and yea .. i'm still trying to add more photos to the previous blog .. so .. yea. .keep checking .. or nvm actually ..cos ..yea .. it's for myself anywayz.

Artist: Secondhand Serenade
Album: Awake
Year: 2006
Title: Your Call

Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Stripped and pollished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
when you are sitting next to me
will bring life into my deepest hopes, What's your fantasy?
(What's your, what's your...)

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
x4
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight

Cause I was born to tell you I love you
and I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)





I'LL BE
Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

Repeat Chorus

I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said

Repeat Chorus


honestly.. i know i've been really ignorant and selfish. i should have spent more time with the people i love. thinking more from their shoes and not of my own. and also for those who are abroad or far away.. as in those i've havent met up .. u're not forgotten k?? i always have u guys in my mind.. and i miss u so much .. if there's anything i can do, i just want you to know that i'll be.. your crying shoulders... always there for u whenever u need :) and i'm still learning .. so.. perhaps .. one day .. i'll be better when i'm older .. and watever it is .. i'll never want to let go of any memories i've shared with u. i love u all !!!!!

cried my lungs out over a lost bag *damn dumb i know*

broke my heart for my loved ones

had ESL class outings and parties



and



went to beaches at melbourne



and got REAL bad burns

swam only ONCE throughout the whole entire year >.<

put on manly oversized clothes for the first time



thrown gross shit and rotten milk at the younger girls

ABOVE ALL .. i accepted Christ into my life and everthing's changed

though i wasnt too sure what was i getting myself into .. but i start going to church

invited people to church

been to 2 church camps



our car members


girls from camp



i learnt to agree lovingly

not to be quick to judge

maybe seen visions and dreamt of things that i dun understand

felt His touch and been under His arms

question alot

know what's it like to have a direction, a purpose and a rock

celebrated my first Christmas from a different perspective

learning to see His grace and mercy




and in this upcoming year of 2007 ..



i want to

know God better draw closer to Him :)

serve Him in one of the ministry or church

want to be a YOUNG lady of faith and compassion

love people more and be more understanding



spend more time with people

and i dun wanna loose contact with any single person but on the contrary be closer than ever!

learn to look at time and be punctual :P but since everyone always assume i'll be late..this will not be my priority then :P

do more random things like heading to Putrajaya for a day trip and crashing proms or parties :P

learn how to play music or sing or dance perhaps



start and KEEP a DIARY .. not a "week-ry" or so forth

more family time



be more passionate and more fired up

uni .. hmm .. be able to settle in the new environment and cope well with the change

not fall asleep in class

pass my Ps and drive

i wanna be more influencial, more expandable

learn to think BIG and think out of a box

i wanna be more simplistic

more appreciative

more thankful

more lovable

i wanna give more and my very best in everything

and i wanna see the what the beaautiful world holds for me :)



for there's always rainbow behind the cloudy sky





i know it's a darn long list for both .. but i believe that this year .. i'll be witnessing more miracles :) venturing out into more excitements :)
yes. i may seemed to be more busy. but i want u to know that i'll still be the same, the one who will still love u always :) *hugs* and no matter how faraway we are .. true friends and darling family will ALWAYS remain close at my heart.

i've got so much to say

MATTHEW!!! i wanna go out with u!!! havent really caught up with ya since planetshakers conference!!
KIMCHEW!! i know u did real well for ya exams! congrats~! i'll be waiting for my dinner :P
JON!! i need ur number! :P

aikz .. seemed so despo

but i allow me to just say a few thank yous
firstly to BABY for having dinner and sending and accompanying me for the play :D
JO .. u know u're always so awesome and great and i cant thank God enough for u!
JON.. ur encouragement is so .. encouraging and i truly appreciate them!
CX!!!!!!!!! thanks for being my chauffer on wed and forever being so nice and patient with me :) thanks for coming to the play!!
KDD~!!! thanks for going to the play wiht cx despite ur tummy upset!! and not to forget for sending me home :)

i'm actually very blessed :) i figure i need to take some time out and just count my blessings and thank God :)




sigh*

yes.
i'm a lousy friend
i'm a lousy daughter.
i'm trying to improve at my punctuality
i'm trying to be a better person but i cant do it by my own's strength
it's seems as if no one's appreciating my effort >.<
or perhaps to them .. it doesnt EVEN seemed that i've put in any
i know who i am and i know i'm called to live up for more. i know i'm a testimony.
i know people are expecting more of me
that's why i cant give up
and that's why i'm so pressured!!!
i guess perhaps i'm off no good to u
perhaps you think i drink obsessively
or maybe i'm loud or maybe i'm quiet and shy
or u reckon i'm so-called-holy
i'm sorry
i'm really sorry.
if u can see the tears i shed for u. if u know how much i think of u and pray for u.
forgive me.
i should be more understanding and more compassionate. more of this and more of that.

i've spent a day and a night on my bed. with tears. but that's enough.i shall do that no more.
cos God spoke to me today.
through the lil message the pastor spoke. and through the play. through my book and of course, His words, the bible.
There's nothing that i can do to make Him love me more.
My strength is so limiting. . but His is undefined. and he is just so GOOD to me. though i'm unfaithful. though i suck. though i've sinned. though i've screwed things up. he is always faithful always forgiving and always loving.

Lord, thank you for everything. help me to be a better person. to be more pleasing to my family and friends. Lord Jesus, thank you for the love and compassion that u have on your people that u made us your sons and daughters. Fahter, forgive me. i want to live for you and more. God, strengthen me please. you know my dismay and you know how badly i'm hurt. thank you for the peace you've promised. Lord Jesus, i pray and i ask that u touch the hearts of many. Father, i'm desperate. so desperate to see your miracle. too long have i waited but i will keep waiting for it is your timing that is perfect and i dont wanna rush it. God, thank you for the support you sent.bless them O Father. Send your angels around them. Father, also pray for those who are sick. for joanne,leanne,chuxiang,yeeming,chinfei and chunwei. heal them with your touch. Lord, think about those overseas and those who just came back. Lord, pray that you'll keep them safe and bless them with joy as they are away from home. Jesus, i wanna pray for my PLC friends. Lord, even though we're miles apart, please send them friends that could lighten up their days and draw them closer to u. God, pray for my family. i believe that my householda and i will serve the Lord. Father, take away all the brokeness insecurity and arguments. Lord, i pray for your blessings be upon the relationship, may it be friendship and boy girl relationships. Lord,in particularly, i'm praying for my jimuis and their boys. Lord, i wanna pray for those who cared so much about me as well. Father, i thank you so much for sendin me friends during my lowest period. Jesus, bless jon, pat,boss teckkeong,mak,baby,jo,cx,kdd,chinfei,ernest,cheez,jon,weijin,ee,wei and all the planetshakers. God, take away sadness,sickeness and negativity but instead, sow in them an unlimited amount of joy,peace,faithfulness,self-control,patience,goodness and kindness. Lord, i pray that your glory will come through and reign. i know i have only one audience,that's you. God, touch them and knock on the doors of their hearts. God, i surrender all of my life upon your feet. take control. in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

AN EXCERPT FROM "GRACE FOR THE MOMENTS"

by Max Lucado

JUST PRAY

"Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is happy should sing praises." -James5:13-

Do you want to know how to deepen your prayer life? Pray. Dont prepare to pray. Just pray. Dont read about prayer. Just pray. Dont attend a lecture on prayer or engage in discussion about prayer. Just pray.

Posture, tone and place are personal matters. Select the form that works for you. But dont think about it too much. Dont be so concerned about wrapping the gift that you never give it. Better to pray awkwardly than not at all.

And if you feel you should only pray when inspired, that's okay. Just see to it that you are inspired everyday.



this spoke to me so very much! especially when today is my results day.
great job to all VCE-ers. you've done your best and that's wat matters yea?? i havent checked mine yet. maybe later. teehee :P

free hug

i've decided to check this out after watching oprah today and i was so SO touched!!! it left my eyes wet.

sometimes we underestimate what a hug can do!

all the way to this man and i wanna do something like this too :)

it's all the same :)
we all need a hug. we all need to be loved and to love.

start touching the hearts of many through the little-est thing that you can do :)

MEMORIES :)

well .. perhaps .. this maybe one of the last few posts that i may be putting up in this boarding house .. in this school ..

i've just printed out all the posts that i've blogged throughout my time in PLC .. well .. wat can i say .. i started blogging in this community .. ought to get some memories in hard copies rite.. just in case anything happen! *touch wood*

anywayz .. these few nites has been the hardest time for me EVER in my boarding house life. the saying bye bit.. sigh .. i wonder when can i be strong and face farewells better. i ALwaYs end up in tears >.< really need God's strength to help me pull through cituation like these mann .. seriously.. now that my stretch of corridoor has no one except me .. imagine how sad it is to walk down the dark, gloomy exceptionally quiet corridoor to go to bed after u've tried numbing yourself with series after series of either OC, House or even Simpsons!! T.T
i've been sleeping with tears lately though i tried so hard to fight it. i miss my, my mother elisa, mummy joyce, funny bunny hippie, sista selah, slow eater maggie, happy-go-lucky fai zai, smarty pants sandy and all those who has gone through this unbearable pain!

anywayz .. after exams was literally hectic!! i have less sleep than during school days!! >.< i want my beauty sleep back! i can literally see the panda eyes on me!! >.< AHH .. but thank God i've been pampered with good food. especially recently .. no .. in actual fact! yesterday!! aunty fun and uncle tham is in town!! :) and it was joyce mummy's cooking birthday party where we each had to cook a dish. i cooked soup noodles which i got the recipe from mum in the dawn at like 1am. haha .. yea .. well .. i manage to amaze myself at my cooking skills that no one was fighting for the toilet after eating my food but instead, i managed to fish some compliments.. woot* hahaha :P yea.. then right after our stomach being bloated by

nard's green curry
lydie's bak kut teh
steph's fried rice
kimo's bandung, jelly and kangkung
and not to forget diana's bailey cheesecake

i had to rush off to chinatown and meet my cousins uncle and aunty for dinner!! WOW~!! u can truly imagine how bloated i was.. but above all .. i'm a happy child :) hehee :P

all the best to those who are still having exams
language peeps and IB girls
form 5s and the SAMs :)

i miss LC fai and nard zai! !! they left the boarding hse already and heebs and selah are going so soon T.T

NO!!!!

:(

i'm so sad now >.< i finally understood the feeling of the woman in the lost coin parable cos I LOST MY NINE WEST BAG THAT I JUST BOUGHT YESTERDAY!! well.. i know i should not be so materialistic and cry over materials .. but i really couldnt help it!! i just lost a BRAND new bag that i took so long to decide whether should i buy it and now that i havent even taken out the silica gel perservative thingy ... it's gone .. within less than 24 hours .. great!!

it was jesh's birthday .. we cooked heaps of good food.. (ps. our definition of good food = everything except bhse food) and gave her a lil bday surprise ... we cooked chicken potato porridge, chicken soup noodles and tofu ( now i understand how hard it is to translate chinese food into english names) anywayz.. yea .. it was good. thank God for that. and i was so tired!! woke up at about 7.30! >.< and the cleaning up was .. energy consuming .. funny how people disperse after eating .. but oh well .. i kinda dispersed too .. all i can say is that beth's heart is so SO kind .. she's so passionate and considerate!!

yea .. so after everything.. i went to unpack my fruitful shopping from yesterday with an excited heart .. but when i opened one of the bags (well i'm treating myself after months of deprivation) and to my utmost shock .. it was gone!!!!!!!! i could even barely remembered when was the last time i saw it yesterday cos i was so tired from everything. was running over the city to youth and then to ice-cream shop and later coffee shop to get jesh's bday cake and ice cream that i barely notice that my bag in the bag was missing!! >.< well .. i was literally holding or having it near by most of the time .. i seriously coudnt recall anytime that people could just take a chance to steal it!! >.< i really dont.. and today .. i was running around the boarding house preparing for the brunch and my door was wide open .. anyone could have seen the bag and took it .. but then .. i seriously doubt that!!

my siblings in Christ and my sisters in boarding house. NO WAY!!! it's definitely not them!! i know it's me and my careless-ness for not looking after my stuff and my materialistic characteristic that allowed all these to happen. i place worldly joy above someone else who is far more greater than it and now .. i deserve it. i guess i need to set myself right. i couldnt help feeling disappointed and sad and i couldnt believe that i even cried over it .. but i know that things happen for a reason and i'm believing in God to be my provider. i am very disappointed at how careless and i really dont understand why he allowed such things to happen. when everything was just going so SO well.. having so much fun in DFO shopping with selah heebe mak and kiwi .. played xbox with mak daniel and kiwi .. and all ALL great fun things .. and suddenly .. one moment.. i can be brought down to sorrow ..

but u know what??

i refuse to give in, yes, i am sad but i'm not gonna let this stop me from doing all the things that He has called me to do. yes. i am offended and angry that God dint prevent this. cos i know He could.

but u know what?

i'm gonna trust Him. i'm gonna remember that

"We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God--those whom he has called according to his plan"
Romans 8:28

i BELIEVE he will provide and plant another sense of joy in me :) but also wanna thank Him for protecting me. instead of loosing myself to some unknown stranger on the dark roads .. being all alone at 10.30-ish .. buying cake .. he kept me safe and walked with me through the darkest alley. so .. i guess loosing a bag is a better exchange :p

but i realllleeeeeeeeee want the bag back and i dont want the sympathy of others.. getting it for me as a present because they felt sorry. i know it's too much to ask for but i want a miracle that it would just appear or someone returned it. but i would definitely believe that That could happen!


this song from church yesterday really came into my head :)

you calm the raging seas
you walk with me through fire and heal all my disease

i trust in you
i trust in you

I believe you're my healer
I BELIEVE YOU ARE ALL I NEED

I BELIEVE YOU'RE MY PORTION
I BELIEVE YOU'RE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ME.

Jesus you're all i need.

Nothing is impossible for you.
nothing is impossible for you.

I'M FREE :D

i still remembered how last year's speech night song vividly in my head and now .. it truly applies :)

I'M FREE
I'M FREE
LIKE A FISH IN THE SEA
THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE I WANT TO BE

EVERYTHING I HAVE TO DO IS DONE
EVERY RACE I HAVE TO RUN I'VE RUN
EVERY "i" AND EVERY "T"
I'VE DOT AND CROSSED THEM MATICULOUSLY

COS AS OFF TODAY
I'M FREE

woohoo!! :D i'm seriously off exams pressure now .. the other night as mak and i were showering .. i couldnt even remembered when was the last time i went shopping!! >.< and when was the last time we went out together .. but it doesnt matter ..cos it's ALL happening again!!!

cant believe at 1045 yesterday was the last ever minute we will be sitting in the hall doing an exams!! and yesterday when we were on a taxi after our shopping spree and the lady asked us how weird is it to feel that you dont need to face the stress of studies again ??? WOW!! it never really hit me that i truly can put my studies aside for some 2 or 3 months before i get into uni .. but that's just so unbelievable .. having my butt stuck on the chair for hours and now .. having to walk around (to shop) for hours is really killing my leg muscles!! but i'm not complaining!! hahaha :P i'm loving it.

God, please dont let time fly by so quickly!! i wanna play :)

2 MORE DAYS AND I'M FREE :)

i've got only one paper left!!!! chemistry on thursday and i'm done!! woot* cant wait for that. already been thinking about after exams.
shopping
driving lessons
interviews
work out to burn the fats accumulated due to "exams stress"
parties! and heaps more..
but
*here comes the reality* the saddest thing is that after that there would be loads of goodbyes and farewells. i dont want that to happen!! >.< but then .. i shall remember the famous saying,

"DONT CRY BECAUSE IT'S OVER. SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED"

yup! i shall try. need his strength and his guidance everyday!!

all the best to all SAM -ians :)

k .. shall return to my studies :P oh oh!! all the best to all physician .. jon, alex, cx, waicheong, wendy, shirlene and everyone else for tomorrow!! i will pray for all of you :)

PLANETSHAKERS CONFERENCE :)

hey everyone!!! well .. i think i kinda did really badly for my exams .. but thank God that i have the peace and not fully crashed down after that :) i believe that He is gonna work a miracle and honestly .. if i do get good grades, it's not because of me.. it's because of Him :D He's so awesome!!! anywayz. . i've got some other thing that i wanna tell ALL OF YOU!!! YES!! EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!!!

well .. first impression of church from people -> B-O-R-I-N-G !! .. just plain sitting down and listening to some person up there talking .. falling asleep on the bench and drooling at the corner of the mouth!

false impression 2 - stern, strict, upright position, no fooling around, super serious and gives u goosebums and a sense of gloom

*red lights and buzzers going off* TU TU TU TU TU TU TU!!!!!!!

WRONG!!!

hahahaha :P well ... not all churches are like that!! .. it's a modern church , and the music is fantastic!!! all i can say is come experience it yourself!! .. :) those who love electric guitars, drums this may be your type!! and those who love soft music, the worship is gonna touch your heart mann!!!


personally.. i've been to a conference once and a camp once!! both of them are truly eye-opener and i've learnt so much that money cant buy !! oh well .. i hate to say this .. but well .. to go to that conference, there's a cost. early bird registrations are cheaper obviously and group entrance, i'm pretty sure that we can get a discount!! so .. whoever who wanna go .. and somewhat wanna find out more about my experience in becoming a Christian and how my life has been changed .. or you just dont know wat's the purpose of living or just wanna come and spend more time with me :P hahha *nah!! being super vain* please leave me a tag or email me k? so that i can arrange something!! i promise this is gonna be an experience tat opens up ur views!!!

anywayz .. just another note of encouragement i read from "Grace of the Moment" by Max Lucado.
may it motivates you all!!


A GENTLE LAMB
"Where God's love is, ther is no fear, because God's perfect love drives out all fear." 1 John 4:18

A lot of us live with a hidden fear that God is angry at us. Somewhere sometime and some Sunday school class or some television show convinced us that God has a whip behind his back, a paddle in his back pocket and he is going to nail us when we've gone too far.
No concept could be more wrong! Our Saviour's Father is very fond of us and only wants us to share his love with us.
We have a Father who is filled with compassion, a feeling Fahter who hurts when his children get hurt. WE SERVE A GOD WHO SAYS THAT EVEN WHEN WE'RE UNDER PRESSURE AND FEEL LIKE NOTHING IS GOING TO GO RIGHT, HE IS RIGHT THERE WAITING FOR US, TO EMBRACE US WHETHER WE SUCCEED OR FAIL. (this part spoke to me the most! that's why i use capital letters!! hehehe :P may it speak to you too!! :P )
He doesnt come quarelling and wrangling and forcing his way into anyone's heart. He comes into our hearts like gentle lamb, not a roaring lion.

- Walking with the Savior-
