Everything in His Time

I had a great day with my beloved BSG mates! Thanks to all who turned up, it made my day! Had a great time knowing all of you! Hope to see you people in future events! :)

Yay! I've got myself a QT buddy! And she's Jacqueline. :)

Both of us were doing QT and just so happen that we're talking online. Anyway! We're not chatting while doing my QT okay, we're serious people! :p Ha! Then oh! I forgot who initiated to share about our QT.. and so both of us shared. About what we've learned & the struggles we're facing recently. We prayed over MSN, how cool is that! Hee.. Wonderful time of sharing, definitely more worthed it than my 1hr of sleep. :)

I was telling Jacq that we could be QT buddy and she shared with me that she was praying for a QT buddy recently! Wow, God answers prayers! And I'm glad He used me to fulfil Jacq's prayer request.

Cheers to my QT buddy!

Thank you all TRP crusaders who prayed for my backache after dinner! I'm much better now...

Ah... I want a pretty notebook to write down verses!

The Lord has been amazing and wonderful in my life. And I can't stop singing His praises! There's just so many things to thank God for and I'm so excited to share with you guys!

It was my first time leading the Word during cell group yesterday. Word as in from the bible itself, without any material! Woah, a great challenge to me seriously! Thank God for bringing me through & the whole process was just. so. amazing! :D

Taught on Acts 7 together with Angie and we summarized the whole chapter into four learning points for the girls in cell to apply in their daily lives (anw, in renewal, grouping of cell is according to gender & age.. though in my cell our age can differ from 12 to 19!) I'm glad that the girls were eager to learn and asked many questions about the Holy Spirit. & I believe the young ones cleared many doubts about the Holy Spirit as well! Thank God for Shuhui & Tcher Linda in the midst as well.. Gave us lots of guidance as we taught the lesson! & all ended well with the song, Come Holy Spirit...

Come Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit
Fall on me now
I need Your annointing
Come in Your Power

I love You Holy Spirit
You're captivating my Soul
And everyday I grow to love You more

I'm reaching for Your heart
You hold my life in Your hands
Drawing me closer to You
I feel Your power renew

Nothing compares to this place
Where I can see You face to face
I worship You
In Spirit and in Truth

I pray for all of my sisters in cell (be it my peers or the younger ones) to love the Holy Spirit more each day & not to grieve the Holy Spirit by our sinful acts. May all of you be filled with the Spirit each day and walk closely with our Heavenly Father. The Counselor is there to guide you in all things that you do (be it exams/school life/seeking the Lord or sharing the gospel) May it brings courage to all of you and take away the fear! Love all of you girls!

Rushed down to Phyllis' house for TP/RP/NUS Mission Team BBQ! And I'm seriously proud of myself to find my own way there! :) Had a great time there, food, games, fellowship with TP freshies! Thank God for great weather. Oh! and the sercurity guard was hilarious! :p Shall not elaborate here.

And thank God for the bus ride home. Did some reflection on the bus and had some time with God by singing the worship songs that I missed during BBQ.

And today! Had senggarang meeting in the morning and I didn't know about it! Didn't check e-mail. :p But glad that I made it to half of the meeting and understood about the session that Brother Weiliang's gonna teach. Glad that my sister is going to this month's trip, a thanksgiving too. Looking forward to go on this trip with her! :)

Another thanksgiving! (heh a lot huh) Went for dance practice today! We had a good 2 hours of sharing and praying. Got to know each other's thanksgiving & struggles in life & we submit them all to the Lord. Practiced our dance assessment song & I'm thankful that I could remember the steps & catch the beats. But! Sarah says my Barnarbas is weird. Okay, wrong. Practice practice!

And the last thanksgiving.. Family dinner was great! Though not good food, but had a great time together. I'm thankful. Because of what I've been through in family for the past month, we finally had time for dinner together again! :)

The Lord is good... I'm looking forward to see my darling sam (i miss you lots!) and the upcoming mission trip to bintan!

Oh! Working tmr, it's another thanksgiving! (last one last one!) At my sis' office under marketing department to do admin stuff. But it's really nice of my sis & her boss to expose me to marketing which I have interest in. With some knowledge about Business now, I'm sure I have much to learn during this month!

Yeah, that's basically my thanksgiving for the past few days. Praise God for all things!

Teach me, O Lord, to walk by the Spirit...

Jesus Diverts Focus From Worry
"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:31-34

Jesus Offers Peace for the Heart
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

During SM retreat at changi safra, i was informed that yeye is admitted to hospital again. My heart was troubled and was really worried and I kept asking the Lord, "why?" After so many encouragements and affirmations, were all those my own thoughts? My heart really sank at that moment. All of us gathered together and we prayed and asked the Lord for healing and protection upon yeye..

And in the morning as i was doing quiet time, God reminded me again;

Be still and know that I am God. (Isaiah 46)

Though still worried, my heart was filled with joy. Because previously, during FOP, the Lord encouraged me and assured me through the song, Still, "and I will be still and know that you're God.." and during the last visit, brother deren actually used this verse to encourage yeye & we sang Still for yeye for the last song.

I submitted all my fears & prayer requests to the Lord as I read on on James...

And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
James 5:15

and thanks charles for the verse;

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

thanks charles for this verse even though you're not aware of my situation. i guess that's how amazing God is and uses different people to encouraged those in need. and thank you all TRP SMs for praying for my yeye and God listened to our prayers because..

when i visited my yeye ytd, he's looking great though still in semi coma, but he's able to respond to me in another way! i told him he will get well and instruct him to lift my hand up if he could hear me and agree with me and.. he did! Praise God!

hope he gets better and better, now that everything is back to normal, as in, not in danger state. and so, i need all of your prayers! do pray along with me! :)

He never sleeps, He never slumbers.

on a lighter note, SM retreat was good. we came together to brainstorm ideas for our local ministry and prayed for our campus as well. apologies to all that i was really tired both physically and mentally (tried to sleep early though, but doesn't help) and really thank God for irene to be so commited to do planning with both campuses without having much break in between. thank you irene. and thank you all TRP SMs for giving me so much fun & joy these 2 days. exam results are out, kind of disappointing but still thankful. i shall work harder, for you Lord! (bochun taught me this, haha!) and..

Happy 18th Birthday Bochun. It has been great having you around in the ministry. You've been really encouraging and humble. I can see God in your life, the way you live it. & the love you've shown to your mom touched me greatly and I would like to learn from you. Press on!

now, i need to get some rest...

The Wonderful Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

See from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did ever such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless Your name

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

i'm back from poly summit! learnt lots of stuffs... which was really dear to me. i will continue to reflect on the different messages! i'll update more on the next upcoming post about some values of a spiritual leader, so stay tune! :)

anyway, i wanna thank God! though session ended late and i was really tempted to just stay over at nacli for another night, i decided to go home... because God has showered me with his blessing in a small way!

i met this SP crusader, Jocelyn, at buona vista mrt station and guess what! she lives near me! we're in fact just next block to each other! nice company home, praise God!

if i didn't change my mind of not going to harbourfront and buona vista instead, i wouldn't be able to experience God in this small way. wow God, indeed, you work in amazing ways that we cannot see, even simple ones. :)

dear Lord,
though it's just a simple blessing that you've gave me,
i just want to thank you so much...
and thank you for teaching me Your word during poly submit.
knowing that i have many surrendering to do, help me.
Amen.

spent the entire day yesterday to pack my room and i finished packing it! and on thurs, the computer is gonna shift in to my room! personal space... oh so i can watch High School Musical without my sherol sis disturbing me with her winter sonata (because apparently, the computer is just beside the television)

BSG meeting later! hope everything goes well with 5/11 attendance. gotta settle admin stuff and i just hope SAA Terrence will give us grace! ;p

and yay! visiting yeye later. no more boring bus rides because i'll be reading the book i borrowed from national library! so far it has been an enjoyable read... been laughing at those intended humour by the author.

today was mega sunday in church! something like mission sunday to share more of mission opportunities in church. :) i thought the decorations were well done, thumbs up to all the youths who helped out!

the sermon today impacted me greatly! and i'm gonna share it here and hope it impacts to you readers as well! :)

time to give my eyes a break from lecture notes and tutorials! visited the national library today to borrow some books, like finally! :D

and yes, another finally, i visited yeye! to all those who are concerned, he still didn't open his eyes but he was gripping my hand very tightly... and he was able to respond by nodding or shaking his head. spent a good 45 minutes or so at the nursing home to sing songs and pray for him. my all time favourite to yeye, God will make a way! hope he'll get better and better. thank God for sustaining him! :)

God Bless Grandpa...
with smiles and hugs to spare.
Give him time to play
and pocket change to share.

God Bless Grandpa...
that fun "kid in disguise,"
Let him see the joy he puts
in his grandchildren's eyes.

God Bless Grandpa...
he plays a special part
In showing children all the love
in a Grandpa's heart.

God Bless Grandpa!

and... how can i forget to thank God for bringing me through my exams?!

the night before my first paper (POM paper) he showed me this verse during QT:
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:7

POM paper
paper was managable but was running short of time to finish all the essays! but i thought this was a thanksgiving...
classmate: did you finish the paper?
me: yea i finished the paper, was rushing lah!
classmate: oh.. which question did you choose?
me: *blur* huh? you mean we can choose?!
classmate: err yea, don't tell me you did all 3 questions for section c!
me: grrr yea!

thank God the markers will mark the first two questions which i'm confident of. and He reminded that His grace is enough for me to use! some couldn't even finish the 2 required questions and i could finish all 3 in time! yay!

CSA paper
this is my poorest subject and it now it's the paper that i'm most confident of! :) all that i studied came out! initially when i look at the paper, everything seems tough. i prayed and asked God to help me remember what i've studied and apply it correctly and as i do the paper, it was such a breeze. except for this question about wireless technology that i do not know how to do but remembered later on! oh blue tooth and infra red! thank God for good memory!

Microecons paper
oh i studied hard and was able to do the questions! i finished the paper 5 minutes before the ending time and decided to check my MCQ and guess what! i corrected 3 questions! so careless of me but thank God that i've got the time to change! :)

and lastly...

Business Accounting paper
i didn't know how to do trial balance the night before and i actually gave up! to be frank, i didn't practice at all! was having a terrible headache then. i prayed that trial balance won't come out and guess what? it didn't! oh my...thank you Daddy! :) and for the first time i was able to balance my balance sheet! *jumps for joy* heh i was smiling sooo widely! :D

overall, it was great! a mini journey of trusting Him! hee

and to all who knows about it, the problem is settled already! thank you girls for your listening ear! you girls are God-sent and ur prayers have helped a lot!

awesome! :)

thank you all TRP crusaders for making it such a great night! :)
