Hi Princesses!....That's been a super long time I've stopped posting here.

Firstly, I thanked God for the course I wanted to go in ITE. Because I had been rejected like, 3 times....and I really wanted to study for it. Then I applied part-time business admin course and they accepted me. It's was like a dream-come-true. Although the location I chosen were not very near my house. Had to travel by Circle Lines...But this is the open door from God.

Secondly, job. Work was so-so. In the first place I don't really like flowers and totally had no interest at all. But, I enjoyed working because it's my first time working in a florist. But sadly, because I had to sacrifice this job for my studies. As I would be stop my job on 27th. Sadly, I missed the days where I was happily working.

Thirdly, I really hope I could pass my O Level English this year. My target at least a B to C. I really practicing my letter writing and essays that drives me crazy and also COMPREHENSION & SUMMARY!!....That's what I still struggling with. But I try my best to master it. I still planning of doing Mathematics in future. But I'm not sure whether I would be able to make it a not.

Fourthly, 40DOF were okay, but I only intend to invite one friend. She was very open and she tells me that God were calling her. I was surprised as all my friends only her, told me that. I was happy. I'm not sure when she's free and I can bring her to church since it's opposite her house. Convenient for her too. What I really wish is all my friends can come to know the Lord and have a great life changing in them.

Lastly, relationship. I was struggling this issue too. I dare not think too much about it because it doesn't helps even when I think too much negatives about relationships. I turned numb for relationships too. Because of too much break ups. Even I had recovered, I dare not think of it anymore. All I think were the relationship with God, family, friends. I just want to lead a life happily and aged gracefully in future.

That's all for my long post! See you Princesses again real soon! :D

words can't bring me down again

couldnt sleep tonight.....with these thoughts on my mind

Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

Was thinking back on the mini-game we played during our leader's cell group whereby we wrote affirming words for each other on a white paper stuck to our backs.

Many a times I looked at those sheep entrusted to me and wonder how can I help them find breakthroughs in their lives. I definitely can see myself in them. Seeing them struggling with broken self images and measuring their self worth against their achievements or whether or not they have BFs. I know what is it like when words from family, superiors, friends & colleagues "bring me down". I definitely feel their pain ..knowing that I can only offer prayers & advice....it's a valley they have to slide down with GOD alone. See themselves the way God sees them. Love themselves the way God loves them. Then they can truly experience breakthrough.

I am thankful for the journey he had brought me through for in 2 Corinthians 1:4 the lord has comfort me in all my troubles, so that I can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort I have received from God. Occasionally I do feel myself slipping back down the beaten path back to the nerdy, pimply, low confidence girl that I used to see in the mirror.

But words can't bring me down again. You and I we are beautiful no matter what they say. But someone needs your words of affirmation today!

Psalm 45:10-12
Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear: Forget your people and your father's house. The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.

The Potter's Work

I was reading devotion today and as the title shows, this post is in response to Jeremiah 18:1-12. The words I wrote are God-spoken and I wish to share it with you guys. :)


[God's words to me]

My child,

You are the clay in my pot and I wish to shape you in the form I want you to be in.
Will you allow me to do so?

It may take a long time and it may be a hard process.
Will you still wish me to do so?

When I see parts of you that are displeasing to me, I will remove them and that act may be painful and tedious.
Do you still trust me enough to allow me to continue my work in you?

I promise you that you will be in the best form you can ever be in if you allow me to work in you.
And I promise you that I will be with you until the day you finish your race.

Will you trust me now?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Over the span of time I've been here in Sweden, I faced with various situations that vexed me and these situations caused me to become a changed person. I was changed unknowingly and it's only when I reflected on my actions and my struggles recently that I realised the change in me.




You must be wondering what are the changes in me now...

(Is it.......... ??)



Perhaps, I should allow your imaginations to run for a bit..................................................................................................



After all, everyone who goes overseas on exchange becomes........................................................................................

.....................................................................................................................................................................................

or struggles with...........................................................................................................................................................

.....................................................................................................................................................................................


HAHAHAHAHA.
Okay, I ought to stop now! Just in case Mel begins panicking and calls me up all the way from Singapore... (Not that I wouldn't want to receive her call, that is. But I wouldn't like the tone she will start with me...) Haha. Kidding Mel, you are always calm and collected. ;)





Getting back on topic, seriously this time, the change that I've undergone is the change in my heart.

As I began to interact with new people or friends that I never knew much, I started to develop a hardened heart. I looked at the lifestyles that the people around me were living, and for a while I felt that pain and emptiness within them that caused them to party all the time. But soon, I lost that compassion and love for them. I soon turned oblivion towards their actions and behaviors, and even became somewhat accepting towards them. I accepted them for who they were, and recognised that these people were difficult to change. But as I lost compassion and love for those people I thought were hardened, I began to lose love and compassion for the people that I truly cared for too.

A while ago, a friend was struggling with her thesis and assignments and had continuous breakdowns. She asked me for prayer and so, I prayed. She wanted to pray together, and we prayed together on skype. Everyday, even though we prayed, she still struggled with her work and was unable to live in God's promises for her. After a while of daily prayers together, I grew tired of her struggles although I didn't want to admit it to her. Despite me still agreeing to pray together with her whenever she asks for it, I did it begrudgingly. She always called when I was in the middle of something. I was in the midst of my meals. I was in the midst of my work. I was in the midst of my dramas. I was in the midst of.......................... All in all, she was becoming a chore.

Then I told her, "You really have to believe in Him after you pray. If you keep praying and you don't believe, what good is it to you? God wants you to have faith to believe in Him!"

I do not know if my words affected her, but after that prayer, she apologised for having disturbed me continuously.


I was disturbed. My actions or irritation towards her caused me to feel guilty. I felt that I lacked compassion and love towards her. After all, she was really struggling with her assignments and she really needed prayer. I ought to have been understanding to her........

With guilt pouring down on me, I prayed to God in earnest: "Lord, give me love and compassion. Soften my heart. I want to be more like You. Help me Lord!"

I prayed and I prayed. I thought He didn't answer me because I was still suffering terribly. I met with another Swedish friend and I begun to feel that she was getting on my nerves with her continuous calls in the middle of the night.

"Are you at the party, Elaine?"
"Are you going to the party tonight? I thought that we can walk over together."
"Is your phone spoilt? You didn't pick up my call just now."

I was irritated. There was only so much excuses I could give before I had to turn to creating lies to pacify her. I started to avoid her calls and even started to avoid her on Facebook chat.

I forgot that maybe, she was feeling lonely. Maybe, she just needed a friend to hear out her continuous chatter. Maybe, she needed God.....





My friend reminded me yesterday that God did answer my prayers. I asked for love and compassion and He put me in situations to learn love and compassion.

I can't say for certain that I've gained love and compassion for all these people. But I know that I've begun to love.

Love is simply when I forget its difficulty, and do as Jesus did. He loved. Simply because.

[My response to God]

My Lord,

I have learnt that it is never easy when I choose to take the path You want me to take. But do as You please with me. All I am is Yours.

Come ALIVE for Him!

Hey my laydees! It seems that the blog is rather dead these days, so I thought I should make it slightly more alive than it is... Haha.

I haven't heard from you girls for about 5 months? Or at least, it's been long since I last seen you all... ! I do miss you girls sooo! Even though there are much lesser cell sessions this year (or so I heard), I do miss attending cell with you girls, and attending church service together etcetera... All in all, you girls are just so much fun to be with that it's hard not to miss you at all! Heh ;)

It seems like everybody is ultra busy because of work, TGIF, ministry and what not... But I just wanna tell you guys to press on for Jesus! Even though it may be tiring at times with so many things to do for work and God, indeed, your treasures are all stored in Heaven. If you can imagine now the amount of gold, diamonds, mega-huge house (or whatever you love) that are building up now, you can be assured that it's definitely worth it! Not that you guys are greedy about that, of course. I'm just attempting to put across the message that God sees all the hard work you've put in for Him, be it in school or work or ministry, and He is definitely proud of you BIG TIME! :) So, even if you may feel overwhelmed right now, and you may feel discouraged, but know for that your race with God is not going to end until you breathe your last breath. And till then, He will uphold you and be with you throughout the good and the bad. :)

HOW AMAZING OUR GOD IS, AREN'T IT TRUE?

I read Jennie's previous post and I could sense that she was overjoyed when she saw how her members grew in the Lord. What more will God feel when He sees the labour you are putting in for Him now? He is certainly feeling ecstatic and well-pleased with you all now, no matter what you may feel about your current situation! And for YOU THERE that is feeling content in the Lord, don't be! Because the Lord wants you to WANT MORE! He wants MORE AND MORE of you! And as you lay hold of God, He will reveal to you different sides to Himself that you've never known about. As you grow in your knowledge of God, you will grow to become more like Christ, of which I know is what everyone of us desires very much to be like. :)

If only I can simply be like Christ, I thought to myself all the time when I struggle with various situations... If only, if only... I longed to be free of those ugly emotions that surge within me and reach towards my final destination. But God is more interested in the process, or in other words, the journey we will take to reach our final prize. Are you too? Only through the process do we learn anything at all. What is the prize if no sweat or blood has been shed? What form of treasure would it be to you if you received your desired item without working for it? It's the same logic. God wants to give us the blessings He promised unto us, but unless we first seek for it, we won't know that we were actually lacking in that area. Only when we seek shall we find. As it's said, "Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be open unto you."

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND IT SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU:
That's what He said, didn't He? I often tell myself to do that, and so I do as He asked me to. I sought Him first by reading His word in the first thing in the morning. I obeyed His instructions to pray for somebody when He tells me to. I attempted to put away my anxious thoughts and waited for Him to add it to me without me asking Him to... I tried. But many times, my attempts fail and I question the Lord: "I thought you said that it shall be added unto me when I seek you first? Why then has it not been added unto me? I thought I heard from you that you will bless me... Why are you silent now?" It was then that I realised. I have not truly understood His meaning for His words. When you truly seek Him first above all else, you will 'forget' all that you desire for because you are so blessed soaking in His presence that nothing matters. And then, that's when the adding comes. When you are feeling blessed by His presence, He will bless you with more. You can say that our God is a jealous God. He wants all of us, but He will never tell us so because He allows us to choose as we please. If you choose Him, He will choose you too and He will add unto you the desires of your heart. Because you know best what God desires for you, and He will give it to you.

Honestly, I used to be seriously anxious for a relationship. Even though I still want to be in one, I am no longer anxious. In front of me is a paper that writes of my purpose in Luleå. Out of the many I wrote, one stands out from the others:

"TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WANTS GOD MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE"

I am that individual right now (or at least I hope I am) because I told God that unless I learn to first put Him above all else, I can never be satisfied no matter what or who He gives me. I don't want to compromise because of my desires or wants when I know that what He wants for me will be the BEST THING I can ever have. :)

To all my FAVE LAYDEES, continue to trust in Him for that SOMEONE in your life. He heard your prayers and He knows your needs. As the song goes, "IN HIS TIME, IN HIS TIME. HE MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL, IN HIS TIME."
He will provide for you in His time. This I am sure of.


Signing off,
Elle

God answers prayers

Hey guys...

It's been a super siong weekend for all of us, rushing from party after party like 'pao3 ge1 tai2' like that. (wahh my language has become super 'cui') Lol.

Anyway, i believe all of us are physically tired, but praise be to God! I know seeing our cell members rise up, seeing salvations upon salvations, are really food to our soul...and inwardly we are being renewed day after day.

Von and i were on the train today and i saw a random man's bag with the word "REVIVAL" on it. I know God is reminding us that revival is truly here...not because we're laboring physically, but because we fought the battle on our knees.

Just wanna share that i'm really v encouraged by my cell members...

Found out yesterday that J and E actually fasted together for their friends to come. And i remember last week's altar call they went down to pray that their fruit would not be prematurely stolen by the devil (friends invited would not back out). I didn't tell them, but i was so touched deep inside. I know God is doing a great work in and through them. Miraculously, both of them brought like 8-12 friends each. And many of them responded to God.

G and P also had spiritual obstacles...camps and matches and events that clashed last minute with the parties. And they struggled...but chose to put God above these things and come nonetheless. Put in a lot of effort making intricate doorgifts, meeting up to buy things and plan.

Even though i've shared my testimony for so many times i'm starting to get sick of it...and watched Suz's video so many times i can act it out...Somehow, at every party, i feel touched by God's love all over again. Touched by the video i've seen again and again. Amazed by the lives that God has transformed. Awed by the sacrifice He chose to make for us on the Cross.

And when i see raised hands, open palms during altar calls...especially the one at Von's house...i still remember that tears were swimming in my eyes.

IT'S ALL WORTH IT.

To see souls saved. Broken hearts healed. Lost sheep find their way to the Shepherd.

It's a thankless job. People might even shun or mock you for it. But it is our calling. To preach the gospel to the ends of the world until every person in this world come into His Kingdom.

Let's persevere on...for the work we're doing has eternal significance. We're not laboring for fame that comes and fades away, or wealth that can be robbed away anytime. But our treasures are in heaven.

ALL HEAVEN REJOICES OVER THE SALVATION OF ONE SOUL.

I can just imagine, Heaven must be super noisy and chaotic now.

Shine for Him-- Do the hard thing, walk in faith

It's one thing to have faith, or at least to profess that one has faith; it's quite a different matter to live by faith.

That is hard. For faith means that the centre of our life has to shift from ourselves to God. And that is hard for two reasons.

First, we are all deeply self-centred. We want our own way; we want to be served rather than to serve. That is what is implied by original sin. To live by faith often goes against the grain. Part of the problem is sorting out which desires are self-centred and which are God-centred.

Secondly, the realities of faith are not visible.

The Letter to the Hebrews describes faith as the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (11:1)

Such things are, by definition, not yet in our possession. We are more at home with what we can see, feel and touch. But No one has ever seen God. (John 1:18).

And though Jesus has made him known, we do not now see Jesus. It is by faith that we know him in Word and Sacrament, and hold on to what he said:

I am with you always, even to the end of the world. (Matthew 28:20)

But that is the world in which we live, the world in which God calls us to spread his good news. So we should make our own the apostles' prayer:

Lord, increase our faith!

And also the prayer of the man whose son was sick:

Lord, I believe; help my unbelief. (Mark 9: 24).

You spoke to me really hard, hard for me to accept that i have to do the hard thing in order to shine. I realise that it is hard 'cos i lack faith.

Lord, help me to have faith, to shift from a life of self centredness to one that is God centred. What really gives me joy is to know that i am walking in your will. That will take my eyes off the situation and fixed them on you. I want to continue to fix my eyes on you and walk by faith, not sight.

So that in the absence of results, of positive-looking situation, of praises and affirmation of man, that i will walk with confidence 'cos i am certain of your voice. Even in times when i am uncertain of the plans ahead, help me to have stillness in my heart and trust that you will reveal in your perfect timing. Lord, i relinquish the rights and control i still hold over my life, i surrender it to you again.

I don't want to seek the approval of man but i want to seek your approval.

Lord, i give thanks cos all of my days are held in your hands. Use my 2 hands, my life for your purposes. When i am weak, strengthened me. When i don't feel good enough, i thank you that you have chosen me and anointed me.

Lord, by faith i claim that 2010 will be a good year.

Testimony!

Thanks to all who prayed for my mom.

After the cholesterol crisis, there was the bone-knee crisis. Apparently the knee-joint was crooked, and she needed to go through an operation which would land her in a wheelchair for 3 months. She was very afraid, and did not want to go for the operation.

Today, she went for physiotherapy. The physiotherapist told her that her condition had improved a lot, and she only needed to come for 5 more therapy sessions, and surgery was no longer required!

My mother came to me so excitedly to share with me what had happened. She shared that her cell sister had testified that she had prayed to Jesus in desperation to heal her of her cancer in the hospital, and when she woke up to take the test, her cells had reduced to normal and she no longer had cancer!

As such, she decided to try it as well. On the way to physio, she prayed really hard. And Jesus came through for her. She was so touched she started tearing while telling me about it. And she was telling me that she wanted to share her testimony on 25th, at her cell group's Christmas party.

Are we ready for Christmas? God is so good that once we've experienced Him and seen His glory, there is no stopping us from sharing His story. Even for my mom who's a new believer and the only Christian amongst a Buddhist/Taoist Chinese community, she can't help but proclaim that God is good. Because He is.

Thank You Jesus. There is truly nothing that You cannot do. =)

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

I'm still with God! I hope u guys didnt forget me! :D

Slow Fade

The sermon this week is really good... Thank God for His reminder - It is not an overnight thing when we choose the wrong path... It is decisions that we make over time that would result in the fall... During the sermon, there were times when some people came to my mind... I was wondering if I had been there enough for some of these people to be that voice that warns them of their impending doom... I am not sure if I had done enough... Then the Lord reminded me that it is not for me to do enough, but for them to humble their hardened hearts and bow before Him... The sermon reminded me to keep myself in check... At the same time, I felt released from the guilt that I had felt over those who were once walking side by side with me in this journey, but has now fallen away...

Note to self: Constantly remind myself that I am capable of falling... Need to keep myself in check...

seeing things God's way - Kingdom Value

it is easy or comfortable when changes abound. no one likes the uncertainty changes brings. however, the only constant thing in this world is CHANGE. we can never stop changing. to improve, to grow, we need to change and evolve with time. whatever don't kill us, makes us stronger. and i believe and always maintain the fact that i know that our God, the almighty, the omnipotent, all knowing One, will never stretch us beyond what we can take. i always like the analogy that we are like rubber bands, we need to be constantly stretched to achieve greater capacity.

the YouthNet is returning back to its roots of being the Youth Ministry. i thank God for this move. in fact, i somehow did wish that this move happened a little earlier. (it might have saved a few broken hearts) but, we must never live in regrets. so let's just look ahead! this returning back to the roots, the fundamentals of what the YouthNet had always set out to do is shaking the whole network up. and some might be uncomfortable with it. yet, i am thankful for this shaking and stirring. it really helps check our hearts!

looking at the way things are right now. i did question my relevance in all of this. i mean, i have the passion for the next generation. but the immediate next generation might not be the group that i can outreach to effectively. when i was listening to SP today during the meeting, the question of me being effective in the areas where i have been placed in came in. if you ask me if i have the passion for the next generation, i can safely say that i have a heart for them. but if you ask me if i can effectively consolidate them, i am not sure. when we were in the comfortable place where nothing was going to change, i could play the supporting role of helping the rest build their cells first. however, now as the question is posed. how effective am i as a youth ministry worker. i had my doubts. somehow, communicating with the teens poses a problem to me. and i guess because of that, i had been comfortable just helping maintain the administrative part of the platform i'm in. so when the stirring and shaking came, i did question how relevant am i to the youth work today.

i don't want to scramble to look for a platform to serve the youths just so that i can stay in the comfort of YouthNet. neither do i want to miss God's hand and move on too fast. i want to do what God wants me to do.

i am thankful for the way the YouthNet has brought up the next generation. i look around and am glad that the leaders i know have never once spared me from the discipline i needed. i am thankful that because they love, i have built a strong foundation in my walk with the Lord. i want to see the same thing inculcated in me to be nurtured in the next generation. so that when they grow up, they will be godly men and women.

i believe God is testing everyone of our hearts right now. i want to see longevity within the ministry i serve in, though there is never permanence, i believe that the Lord wants to use us to touch the lives of the youths we come into contact with. we serve, because the Lord called us and availed us to serve. when He moves the people out, it is not because of our incompetence, but simply because the season is up. and maybe my season with the youths is up. but i believe that the Lord has been preparing me for the next season of my life - the children. God hasn't developed my skill set in handling and managing children on a daily basis for nothing. i may grumble and moan about how difficult my students are, yet with the changes coming in place, i am beginning to see things with a different perspective. God is remolding me to become a new pot. a vessel He can use to impact the lives of the next, next generation. and with the new service, more volunteers are needed for barnabas club. not really sure if that's where God is calling me to be now. but will continue to pray about it. "Lord, here i am. Use me."

the challenges are laid out. can we see things God's way? can we be found good stewards of God who understands the importance of Kingdom Value.

accountability

really thank God for the people He has placed in my life... especially my leaders... recent events has made me even more thankful and grateful for their presence in my life...

thank God that He has placed them over me not to lord over me, but to guide me and keep me accountable for my words and actions...

some people don't see the importance of having leaders to keep us accountable... however, i beg to differ... having someone to account to reflects a lot on our character... if one is willing to account to someone in authority for his/her life, it shows that this person is not just a responsible person, but a humble one at that too... someone filled with pride would not like to account his/her life to someone else... accountability is part and parcel of life...

in our workplace, we account to our bosses... they are the ones who review us and keep us in check with out KPIs... even if we are our own boss, we are accountable to our clients... the things we promise to deliver, it is our responsibility to deliver them...

in school, we account to our teachers... they teach and guide us in our path to knowledge... they may not be the best teachers, but i believe that they do have our interest in their hearts... they do desire to see us graduate well and do well in life...

at home, we account to our parents/spouse/children... growing up, we live under our parents' roof... they protect and guide our ignorant steps... their ways may not necessarily be the best, but they have the best interests for us... we account to them as to when we will be back home, if we'd be home for dinner, who we're with... just to show them that we are growing up to be responsible people... when one is married, he/she is accountable to their spouse... need i say anymore on this point? you choose to be united as one and so to move as one, you ought to know what the other party is thinking right? otherwise, how can it be considered a marriage? and when you have children, you are accountable to them to just as we as children are accountable to our parents... we need to provide a sense of stability and security for our children so that they can grow up to learn to trust and be responsible young people too...

i hope that i am definitely found to be someone who has learnt to be accountable to God through the people He has placed in my life...

Thank God for my leaders and bosses!

It was my sister who told me spread the word around.
I have to know what I'm publishing before I publish.
So I went and read about this girl.



At the age of 4, Charmaine has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
According to Wikipedia

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy, with an annual incidence of about 650 new cases per year in the US. Close to 50 percent of neuroblastoma cases occur in children younger than two years old. It is a neuroendocrine tumor, arising from any neural crest element of the sympathetic nervous system or SNS. Neuroblastoma is a solid tumor that most frequently originates in one of the adrenal glands, but can also develop in nerve tissues in the neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis.
Esthesioneuroblastoma, also known as olfactory neuroblastoma, is believed to arise from the olfactory epithelium and classification remains controversial. Since it is not a sympathetic nervous system malignancy it is a distinct clinical entity not to be confused with neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is one of the rare human malignancies known to demonstrate spontaneous regression from an undifferentiated state to a completely benign cellular appearance.
A disease exhibiting extreme heterogeneity, neuroblastoma is stratified into three risk categories: low, intermediate, and high risk. Low-risk disease is most common in infants and highly curable with observation only or surgery, whereas high-risk disease is difficult to cure even with the most intensive multi-modal therapies available.

Faith confessions!

Hebrews 11:6

It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.

You know the times when we say things for the sake of saying it, and without meaning it? It’s the same thing that often goes for faith. I say, ”Lord, I pray that you will bless my friend with good results.” But soon after, I begin discussing with my friend the impossibility of scoring well in the coming exams given the difficulty of the subject. The Lord says that it is impossible to please Him without faith. And I thought to myself, “But I do have faith.” And go on stressing over my problems after I make the prayer.

What then is faith? Faith can only be called faith when you do not doubt at all. Absolute faith, though difficult, works miracles! I believe that when the Lord says, “faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains”, He means it. Literally.

We did something in cell today that I thought I will practise for the rest of my life.

Faith Confession is speaking a word of positivity about the things in your life. It’s not just about speaking positively, but also about proclaiming positively. Many times, I make prayers like “Lord, I pray that you will help me with…” or “If it pleases you Lord, give me…” Even though there’s nothing very much wrong with prayers like these, they somehow sound more like a desperate plea to the Lord.

We are given authority to claim God’s blessings for us! And I’m gonna claim it all, in Jesus’ name!

I believe in the Lord that:
