this blog ought to be revived. but well. hahaha. not today =P this is from Jia xin's blog =D

After a few of the usual Sunday evening hymns, the church's Pastor slowly stood up, walked over to the pulpit and, before he gave his sermon for the evening, briefly introduced a guest Minister who was in the service that evening. In the introduction, the Pastor told the congregation that the guest Minister was one of his dearest childhood friends and that he wanted him to have a few moments to greet the church and share whatever he felt would be appropriate for the service. With that, the elderly gentleman stepped up to the pulpit and began to speak.

"A father, and his son, and a friend of his son were sailing off the Pacific coast," he began... "when a fast storm blocked any attempt to get back to the shore. The waves were so high, even though the father was an experienced sailor, he could not keep the boat upright and the three were swept into the ocean as the boat capsized."The old man hesitated for a moment, making eye contact with two teenagers who were, for the first time since the service began, looking somewhat interested in his story.

The aged minister continued with his story..."Grabbing a rescue line, the father had to make the most excruciating decision of his life: to which boy would he throw the end of the life line? He had only seconds to make the decision. The father knew that his son was a Christian and he also knew that his son's friend was not.

The agony of his decision could not be matched by the torrent of waves. As the father yelled out 'I Love You, Son!' he threw out the life line to his son's friend. By the time the father had pulled the friend back to the capsized boat his son had disappeared beneath the raging swells into the black night. His body was never recovered," the old man said sadly.By this time, the two teenagers were sitting up straight in the pew, anxiously waiting for the next words to come out of the old Minister's mouth.

"The father," he continued, "knew his son would step into eternity with Jesus and he could not bear the thought of his son's friend stepping into an eternity without Jesus. Therefore, he sacrificed is son to save the son's friend. How great is the love of God that he should do the same for us? Our Heavenly Father sacrificed His only begotten Son so that we could be saved. I urge you to accept His offer to rescue you and take hold of the life line He is throwing out to you in this service."

With that, the old man turned and sat back down in his chair as silence filled the room. The Pastor again walked slowly to the pulpit and delivered a brief sermon with an invitation at the end. However, no one responded to the appeal. But, within moments after the service ended, the two boys were at the old man's side.

"That was a nice story," politely stated one of the boys, "but, I don't think it was very realistic for a father to give up his only son's life in hopes that the other would become a Christian."

"Well, you've got a point there," the old man replied, glancing down at his worn Bible. As a big smile broadened his narrow face, he looked up again at the boys and said, "It sure isn't very realistic, is it? But, I'm here today to tell you this story gives me a glimpse of what it must have been like for God to give up His only Son for me. You see... I was that father, and your Pastor is my son's friend."

One life, save it.

Every life matters to God.

You'll never know who the next person you bring may become in the future =D

Knowing You

When I open my eyes
And look at Your Face
I am amazed

When I look at my life
And all the works of Your Hands
I am honoured

Because of all good things
In my life
They are Your wonderous works
You gave me a brand new chance

And I want to know You, God
Deeper than all that I've known before
There is no greater love than Yours
I am here to be Your worshipper

I used to love this song loads. haha. but now, i love the God of the song more than i love the song.

knowing more of You, my God.

How Great Is Our God

The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end

The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing

even as the great God He is, He listens to every single word of ours, and knows our every single thought and cry.

How great You are, my God. i stand in awe of You.

oh man. haha it's definitely been a while since i last blogged.

anyways. what made me suddenly wanna blog after eons. i was just blog hopping around.. trying to catch up with what has been happening with all my friends around.. and suddenly, it just came to me. just one word, but so clear.

CHOICES.

haha. nope, it's not some ad. i think a polytechnic uses that word in their ad. but nope. it's not. it just came to me that there're so many choices that lead to so many different routes on this journey. the different choices when we chose our priorities, our beliefs, when we chose what we would live and die for.

then, a story pastor once told us came to mind. it was about choices naturally, about how 2 different couples chose 2 different ways of spending those few months after A levels and how it had led to a world of difference in the lives they lead now. it was a clear cut example on how the choices they'd made set the direction for their lives.

and i'm glad today, that i've made the choices i did =)

it's been an amazing few months so far, VBS, OPM, revival meeting, Christmas, Create / Heart Awards '06, Pastor Joakim, Worship team... Wow.. it's really been event-packed! so many things learnt, so many more experiences, so many more people i've gotten to know, so many more lives changed! people have come, people have stayed and it's so fufilling to see their lives become more purposeful, to see their smiles become more radiant. Pastor Lia once mentioned something about smiles, about how smiles could come from the heart, only if someone has been first changed from the heart, from the inside out. and i'm glad i've seen so many heartfelt smiles surfacing these months! i cant imagine what it would have been like without it! life would have been insignificant man. insignificant and purposeless. gosh!

but! though the months before have been absolutely fantastic.. ahahhaha... many memories and all.. the months ahead are gonna phenomenal!!!! WOOTS! i cant cant wait man! heh. this is only just such a small part of what's gonna be in the future! man.. cant wait! =D woohoo!!!

amazing life only because i have an amazing GOD!

This story was written by a doctor who worked in South Africa ..

One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. I knew we would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts.

One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates). "Andthat was our last hot water bottle!" she had exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there were no drugstores down forest pathways.

"All right," I said, "put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep her free from drafts. Your job is to keep the baby warm."

The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle, and that the baby could so easily die if she got the chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.

During prayer time, one ten-year old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children.

"Please, God" she prayed, "send us a water bottle. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon."

While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added

"And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?"

As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say, "Amen". I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh yes, I know that He can do everything, the Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years by that time, and I had never, ever received a parcel from home. Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator!

Nonetheless, I carried on with my day as per normal. Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there, on the veranda, was a large twenty-two pound parcel. I felt tears filling my eyes and a an odd discomfort in my throat. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children.

We gathered quickly, and together we pulled off the strings, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box.

From the top, I lifted out brightly colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a batch of buns for the weekend.

Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the ... could it really be? I grasped it and pulled it out - yes, a brand-new, rubber hot water bottle.

I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could.

But Ruth, who was in the front upon seeing the water bottle, rushed forward, crying out, "If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly too!"

Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted! Looking up at me, she asked: "Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?"

That parcel had been on the way for five whole months. Packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child - five months before, in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it "that afternoon."

"Before they call, I will answer" (Isaiah 65:24).

my amazing God =)

The Barber Who Believed That God Doesn't Exist:

A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and his beard cut as always. He started having a conversation with the barber who attended him and they talked about mantyfrom various subjects.

Suddenly, they broached the subject of God.

The barber said: "Look man, I don't believe that God exists as you say so."

"Why do you say that?" asked the client.

"Well, it's easy, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist. Tell me, if God existed, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be no suffering nor pain. I can't think of a God who permits all of these things."

The client stopped for a moment, thinking. He didn't want to respond so as to prevent an argument.

Anyhow, the barber finished his job and the client left of the shop. Just after he left the barber shop, he saw a man in the street with a long hair and beard. It seemed as if it had been a long time since the man had his cut and he looked really untidy.

At that, the client strolled back in the barber shop and he said to the barber

" You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How come they don't exist?" asked the barber. "I am here, and I am a barber."

"No," the client patiently explained. "They don't exist, because if they did, there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks in the street."

"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to us."

"Exactly." affirmed the client. "That's the point. God does exist. What happens is people don't go to Him and do not look for Him, that's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

=) for all who always asked. haha!

Still

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

out of the many many songs i had (hey, it's quite a fair bit la k =P)... i clicked on this. and... woosh...

my refuge in Christ alone.

=)

praying that..

one day, you will come to know this Father and King of mine.

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

to give you the peace i feel in my heart, the peace that you are seeking so much for.

Got this from feefee's blog =)

A Christian Prison

Near the city of Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil, is a remarkable facility. Twenty years ago the Brazilian government turned a prison over to two Christians. The institution was renamed Humaita, and the plan was to run it on Christian principles. With the exception of two full-time staff, all the work is done by inmates. Families outside the prison adopt an inmate to work with during and after his term. Chuck Colson visited the prison and made this report:

'When I visited Humaita I found the inmates smiling- particularly the murderer who held the keys, opened the gates and let me in. Wherever I walked I saw men at peace. I saw clean living areas, people working industriously. The walls were decorated with Biblical sayings from Psalms and Proverbs...My guide escorted me to the notorious prison cell once used for torture. Today, he told me, that block houses only a single inmate. As we reached the end of a long concrete corridor and he put the key in the lock, he paused and asked, "Are you sure you want to go in?"

"Of course," I replied impatiently, "I've been in isolation cells all over the world." Slowly he swung open the massive door, and I saw the prisoner in that punishment cell: a crucifix, beautifully carved by the Humaita inmates-the prisoner Jesus, hanging on a cross.

"He's doing time for the rest of us," my guide said softly.'"

~ a decade of dreams ~

to 10 years of pastoring, loving, caring, teaching, discipling.

"(to) Raise up a generation of people who are willing to give God the best years of their lives and God will use this generation to impact all levels of society and all walks of life."

pastors like spiritual parents, who love their people as their kids.

Pastors who love with all their heart, who care enough to enter their lives, to love them. Pastors that will go all out and play in arcades with people so much younger than them, pastors who would push away appointments to be with them. Pastors who would bring them shopping, who would take them on dinners to let them know what's it like to have a family dinner, who would teach them to keep their nails trimmed and pretty and be there for them when their kids needed them. Pastors who would try ways and means to help their kids, always wanting the better for them, then feel upset/vexed when they hadnt learnt, yet never giving up on them. Pastors who would still take time out, despite their hectic schedules to say hi to new people, to handwrite birthday cards, to invent ways to make stories from the bible memorable. Pastors who'd MSN, SMS, email notes of encouragement to their kids, stand up for their kids when they are made fun of. Pastors who'd still be truly concerned and give their time even when called late at night by their kids.

wow. they really arent just pastors anymore, but our spiritual parents.

Dom was talking about the fighter planes we were, or the ones in the process of manufacturing. Powerful fighter planes that would be launched into the world, to fight our spiritual wars. Emblazoned on our bodies wouldnt be the enowned names of powerful jets in the world, the ones commonly seen. instead, nothing at all would be seen on us. but if you'd just look closely, we'd be covered with fingerprints, fingerprints of the 2 pastors who have molded and shaped us tirelessly into what we are today, or what we're going to be. and if you'd just look closely, you'd see the stains, of blood, sweat and tears, of all the hardwork that has gone into us, in attempt of making us the best we could be. and we'd listen to only 2 commanders, awaiting the day we're ready to be launched, to fight this war we've been called to.

for all they've done...

and the amazing God who was given them to us...

the future's indeed, going to be AMAZING

=D

2006-08-06T07:28:00.000-07:00

Oh wow. Oh WOW. Oh man... ahhhhhh.

Haha. Of course I'll say whats happening. Aiyo.. if not people will start slapping me already.. was looking through some pics ... and.. wow man.. I just saw pictures of how church looked like when they just shifted in! during all the construction and all.. looking at all the pics.. it seems as if I'm watching a video.. and I'm seeing people grow up. People I've only known a year, now I've caught a glimpse of the many years younger them. Oh wow.

And I realized. All these photos of them then.. is exactly whats happening with us now still. We're still having the celebrations.. the gathering.. the outings. The time spent together. 2 years down the road, when I look back on the pictures I have again.. I'll realized how much we've grown. Only now with so many more new additions to the family.

I love my God.

I love this family He's given me.

I can't wait to grow up with all these people around me.

Wondering what will be of us many years down the road =)

The future's just amazing.

I can't wait! =P

had ice cream at yang's favourite hang out. haha. soo and i both got treated! yay! thanks yang! muahahha.. we both chose the most expensive de. then aiya. half the time i so lost. heh. but nevermind. had the ice cream for company. yang was super high today la. dunno what's wrong with him. then. heh. we saw this really funny uncle.. sitting outside macs with his arms around the old macdonald guy! haha! we were so amused la! and want to take photo too! gosh.

anyway! to the even more exciting and funny part! soo and i took a LONG ride down to mount alvernia where we were gonna visit her sis. seriously. it was LONG. haha. then then then! the place was so nice! it's like hotel sia! even changi de not as nice! but first we had to conquer the mountain.. and we huffed and puffed our way up the hill...

after that, we realized ying xuan had friends! so thats when we went on our first trip! so happily we walked down the corridor.. walked past the pharmacy where i took a sit and said 'eh, very nice ah'. and soo yee gave me that look. we walked to the chapel, i took a peek, then we walked to the cafe.. walked one round, came out and walked past the chapel again.. went into another lobby and went the visit the washrooms! then just as we were about to head back, saw ying xuan's friends just left, so perfect timing!

and we went to say hi to ying xuan! haah! then chat a while and all. ahhh... and the drip! reminded me of last time when i was on one the whole day and they tried to remove the needle!! AHHH! blood had kinda dried up around it and the nurse had to tug at it! AHHHH!! *shudders* and soo yee went to smart smart pop a balloon larrrrr.. scare all of us. haha! then it's so cute la.. ying xuan knows like every single other patient's back ground.. then the nurse diao her and all.. and how the food is like totally fab. ahha! so many stories lar! so cute!

so anwyay! soo decided to go on another trip to the cafe! so off we went on our 2nd exploring trip! but beofre we could reach the canteen, we got waylaid! i pointed at the stairs and asked her where it led. she didnt know either and so we went up.. and realized it lead to the KIDS WARD!!! wahhhh!!! and off we went.. happily.. zipping down the corridors, peeking into rooms, talking about how they looked like chalets, openly melting while looking at the babies, taking photos of a door sign that said 'st dominic' =P and we just kept going higher and higher, cos when we finished a level, we'd end up at the staircase, wanting to go down, but part of us kept wondering, are there anymore upstairs.. so we kept heading up! haha! i think we went up a total of 4 levels?? haha!! we just kept wandering down the aisles like tourists!

and man. mount alvernia's really a nice hospital! though the rooms are a bit dark. everything else looked like hotel! haha! except for the super ya ya cafe woman that soo yee and i didnt like. wahaha. but yes! it was really a super good trip! haha! but heh! sounds like we had more time exploring then visiting ying xuan! oh no! haha! so yes!

hey ying xuan! take good care k! get well REALLY SOON! =D

wow. i'm seriously quite impressed. and amused. tho i know very well, i should not be.

our chem tutor came in today, and she told us about how we've scared all our tutors silly with our grades. and not only our tutors, but ALL the tutors are scared of our class. none of them actually want to step into our class. we laugh too much, talk too much, joke far too much, much much more then the attention we give to our studies. everytime we have lessons, the class at the end of the corridor hear our laughter (and we're at the OTHER end of the corridor) that's saying sth man.

one part of me wants to go 'WOW', we're THAT good!' i mean, that's the whole lots of teachers we've traumatized. but the other part of me's... well. haha. guilty as charged. and seriously. i think i was very good during lesson today. i actually paid attention during gp. so there. haha. but i should think it's gonna change la. for the As are coming... *sings*

oh well =)

my blog's not working. i'm quite sure it isnt. heh =P

2006-07-05T08:54:00.000-07:00

WOAH HO! haha! had a great movie date today with D1 and a few other D5 people! haha! you see right, when your leader has money.. haha! but well, yea! haha!

in view of restructuring, shanny, our friendly giant came up with a conclusion, if soo, cindy, shanny, aaron, shu, tock, soo's sis and myself were in the same team, our TL would just have a heart attack! ok, i dont remember his exact words. but in short, the person will be, man, super tired out! and we'd all have abs! haha! YES! but we had major fun la! we were just laughing the WHOLE way from dhoby to tamp! non stop! it didnt help that we met calvin lim, chem teacher from mj and he was JUST as bad! aaron and shanny were near to signing him up too! wahaha!

Just My luck wasnt as good as i thought it'd be, it was lame tho. haha! lamer than those 2 in our group. what about luck passing here and there. haha! the songs were good tho! and overall it was a great outing. ahha! really enjoyed myself. WHEEE..

but a weird weird thing happened after the movie. or, weird things really. haha! we started having bad luck! qi lost her contacts, ONE side of it, and it was after the part where lindsay lohan in the show lost HERS! then fee nearly left her file behind, mereith tripped and i nearly slipped while walking down the stairs! haha! gosh! talk about luck! haha! weird la! and then i realized when we were outside the foodcourt...

we were a group of 13!!!!

haha!!! man. =P tock, soo, her sis (scared i spell her name wrongly. ying xuan?), shu, me, liane, fee, aaron, shanny, cindy, qi, mereith, daniel! and yes. oh well! we got back safe, i THINK. but we did miss taking neoprints, cos the shop closed just as we decided to. well almost. oh wow. hahah.

okok. i'm done here. cant stop smiling. hahah! man i'm happy. heh. YAY!

WAHAHAH! i'm totally amused!!! i cant BELIEVE the #4s PRANKED ME!!! hahaha!

see, i was in church, then was using the com. suddenly shu yi called me and say someone calling me, saw the id and it was from SCHOOL!! (learnt from soo de la. save sch phone number =P) so i was like.. eh? then picked up, heard this WEIRD WEIRD voice.. asked my about school, studies, whether i need help, tuition or some sort. whether i'm coping and AND AND whether i was stressed! they said the SCHOOL HAS HELP!!! WAHHH!! ARGH!!! JOKERS! RARR! hahaha!!!

then throughout the call, in my my mind i was wondering.. NONE of the school staff has that weird voice la! i mean, i've spoken to them ah, then received that call to meet principal and all.. i wanted to start laughing le, nearly did, but was worried the person will take offence. OH MAN. HORRIBLE. but towards the end i was already suspicious and laughing a bit la! SIAN! cos they asked about whether i feeling stressed and it was so RIDICULOUS . gosh. but i said i not stressed, then they hang up .

and right after that, my phone rang again and flashing on the id was...

YEO JUNYU!

horrible boy! i realized immediately that it was the number 4s! rarr. then he refused to tell me who it was. haha! and they DID put me on speaker!!! and there were people like michelle and MEREITH there? haha!!!

gosh. it must be good.

wow.

2006-06-05T20:28:00.000-07:00

i think 060606 is a real cool date. i mean, not just because it is 6 june 2006, but hey, how rare is it to get the combi 060606? haha! so yes =P i'm being random.

was out with my dad today for lunch. went to this place we used to frequent for many years now. ever since i was in primary school? P2? and my sis in K2. i remember our dad used to tompang us, with the bicycle, one in front and one at the back, both seats personally made by him and he'd bring us many places to eat lunch. and one place we really liked was mei yuen. they sell really good wanton (that looks wrong) noodles.

so yes. we used to eat there on the hot afternoons after school, short little me, pinafore WAYYYYY past my knees and i'd tried to peek thru this gap to see the uncle chopping up the char siew and duck. (imagine a fence and peeping thru the gaps cos you arent tall enough to look over =P). used to be REALLY fascinated. no idea why. and the uncle used to tease me about being so vertically challenged.

and today, when i went back there to eat. heh. i had the privilege of looking right over that 'fence', and i gave the uncle that kinda smug look, kinda like 'hey, too bad, cant tease me now' thing. and he just laughed =P felt like laughing right along. they've seen me grow man. the lady who always serves us? she's seen me from when i was that short to like now (aint v tall but hey, still much taller than then). she'll always ask dad about my sis and i and stuff. how old i am now, how's studies and stuff. how much we've grown. it isnt the kind of way relatives say it, just asking for the sake of asking, but the kind that will seriously make you think and go, yea.. i've grown that much...

haha.. and yes. i think i've grown. definitely. past 18 years.. man. i'm old. haha! 2 more years to big 2. sheesh =P from this really self righteous toddler who sang almost everywhere even in her MRI scan (how traumatizing for the doctors) to this 7 year old who cried almost everyday because she had to go to school to the 8 year old who started loving school right up to now. i was really cute when i was young. i DO wonder what happened =P kidding. RARR.

and yes. i'm happy =D but...

18 years is really old. gosh.

haha! =D
