deep deep lub

Hello! I know it's 2.30am now. But I have a 12pm class tomorrow so I can afford to sleep later haha.

Anyway today's leader's meeting Pastor Eugene talked about going deep with one another in the family. I think it's so true ya? He mentioned 3 points, namely: 1) Remaining in Christ 2) Remaining in His word 3) Remaining in His love. (John 15)

These are 3 points that we must take note in order to be as one in this family. Actually these 3 points are kinda abstract, like what does it mean to "remain"? Hmm, that's worth a thought.

Ok, my purpose of this post is to tell you guys that a GB blog has been set up. Do go visit it if ur free and keep us in prayer!

The UWC, Broadrick, Bukit View or anyone who has prayer request do post it up here to let all of us take note too~ We are all one family and it doesn't matter what we are doing because we are all serving God in whatever ways that we can ya?

Let us go reaaallllly deep with one another~ =)

A leap of Faith

As I walk to the edge
I know there is not turning back
Once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice
That's telling me it's time to take the leap of faith
So here I go

(Song: Dive by Steven Curtis Chapman)
im a procrastinator. i din self-declare. i earn the 'title'.
"i want to setup my own website!" that was what i said 5 years ago. not being ashame of my procrastion. i tell my friends that every year. until they gt the (-.-) face. i always plan to do sth and end up still planning it....for years. dont laff at me. some of you out there are guilty of this too! hmpp!

this year, im going to apply for my studies. (yes i know some of you wan to throw banana skins at me coz this is the hundreth times you hear this) but this time im serious ok~. i gt my plan A, B and C out already. (typical 'C' trait)

Plan A: NTU art, design and media
Plan B: Nafa or SIM
Plan C: Continue to be a church-worker

it's a step of faith for me becoz i dont like school. 13 years of tests, exams and projects practically drive me away from education. i like working life. there's money. there's space to explore and use other pro equipments. what's more. there's a LED screen + 2 graphics walls + 4 screens to display my very own work. (yes i know all of you are bored by the graphics use every weekend. so pls pray for me. i nid lotsa creativity and wisdom to create breath-taking graphics. if nothing happen for the few weeks means all of you are not praying hard enough for me!) it has been a comfort zone for me. but deep inside me, i know i nid to go back to sch coz im starting to feel stagnant.

i tot this year is a gd year for me to go and study. coz it's a year of VICTORY!! and i have fulfilled the 3 years service in the church by july. ah~ this is sth i have kept it to myself for years. a secret of mine revealed~! when i 1st join my dept, my boss challenged me to serve at least for 3 years. and so i did. it's not an easy process even though i like working in church. i almost change my job last year becoz i had disagreements with my boss. den again i stayed on... things gt better. the love-hate relationship has gtten better to a love-wah-lau-you! relationship. Praise the Lord!

the closing date for ntu is 21feb. it requires alot of portfolio. and alot of work nids to be done. (darn gov uni!) so nid to start working now. pls help me pray for the same things again - creativity and wisdom. i nid lotsa it. ohya...and also to be able to hear God more clearly.

i have also started bible study with my one and only precious bukit view girl called Kristen. fiona also started her bible study with boardrick girls. mayb she can update all of you by posting in the blog.

kk. it's 2am. yet to finish my work. God bless all and cya~.

everyday before food

for three days, i've heard about the power of God's word and the importance of reading His word. from sanctification day 3 where ps eugene shared about the importance and power of His word and encouraged us to have a new passion for His word, to ps debra's congre where she too emphasized on reading God's word and being intimate with Him, then to the audio bible session where God showed me the wonder of His word, that indeed His word is amazing and holds truth and wisdom. and i believe it is not by chance that i am making up my post encounter session which too taught about the word of God.

by the grace of God, i have received a new conviction in my heart that reading His word is indeed important and that His word is powerful and a sword of the spirit. i learnt that it is a powerful weapon and a delightful gesture when we pray God's words back to Him. like a child learning to speak, mimicking his parent's words to them, God delights in us speaking to Him what He taught us and spoke to us.

and i was just thinking about this just now, the Holy Spirit revealed to me that though sometimes we think that word and worship are two separate things, they are actually connected. sometimes as i lead worship, i just feel like i am repeating the same things and the words that come out just hold so little power. to be even more anointed in worship, it is important to read His word and as we lead worship, learn to pray using His words and speak His words instead of just our own words, because God's word carries much weight and power.

honestly, i really struggle to do quiet time in the morning and before food somemore. i really find it so difficult because sleep means so much to me. haha. but as i finally decided to stick the 'everyday before food' sticker on my bible, i will discipline myself to read God's word every morning. from discipline to habit, from a habit to a lifestyle. let us encourage each other and spur each other to read His word and know Him more this year! so next time you see me, can ask me how's my everyday before food practice going. haha. let's fight this spiritual battle with the sword of the spirit!
