Blessed child of God (Moi!)

Dumdedum... I'm blogging from my school computer lab and I'm supposed to be doing my F&N coursework... Well I just wanna talk a little while, I know my blog hasn't been as lively as before (for those of you who wanna say it's never been alive... well you're entitled to your own opinion) Anyways I just wanna spend some time talking to you peeps who read my blog. I know Easter has been so long ago but I just gotta say something! Easter has really blessed me alot. In fact this year's Easter seemed so special. I recall that the first time I went for the Easter drama it wasn't anything special. (cept for the fact that it's my spiritual birthday :P) But this year's Easter drama was really good both in our Jurong west church and at our Expo worship area. I wept tears whenever I saw Jesus being crucified. the lyrics for the song also made me realize that the love of God is so great, that He could send His only Son to die on the cross for me. Truly He is the lamb of God come to take away the sins of man. The drama was also a reminder for me, that if Jesus would come and serve, then why not I? I am more determined this year to serve with all my heart! Though I can't serve in ministry, I can certainly serve in cell group. C'mon mum! Get me the book "Guitar for Dummies"!!!

I also wanna thank God for pastor Kong's message. Truly it was a word in due season for me, the message on shame and unforgiveness really impacted me. There is no shame in Christ Jesus! There is power in the freedom of the cross! While Easter sunday was kind of a fiasca for me, I thank you Kelvin for encouraging me. Every little thing's gonna be alright... Every little thing's gonna be alright...

Also, during the Easter week we had a few friends come to join us. Firstly we got Danila and Daniel. They are Africans who are living in Singapore and they are joining our cell group. Next we got Johan and Joey, they are SOT students from Malaysia who will be attached to the cell group until the 24th of August this year. So sad... I'm gonna miss them when they leave. By the way, Joey has his own label in Malaysia. Cool ain't it? Lastly we got Yunru and Vivian. The both of them came for our Easter servince and received salvation! Praise the Lord! It really is a break through for the whole cell group. 6 new friends in a period of 2 weeks. If we are consistent in seeking out the lost, then we can hit 12 souls per month. That means we'll multiply in June. Oh what a great prophecy. Haha! Let what we ask for be given to us by our Father in heaven.

Blessings... Hmm... where to start? Well for starters, I am now the owner of my papa's iPhone. It's kinda cool and all with all those functions and the touch pad. But guess what. It's darn impractical! It's like full of functions that I don't even know what it's for. Also SMSing is so tough with the touch pad... It's kinda irritating. I'll keep the iPhone though, for my games and maps. Also I'm kinda pleased that my pledge for the Arise and build is almost complete. Just a bit more.

All in all, I wanna thank God for the wonderful Easter weekend and the wonderful people He has placed around me.

Keep on shining for Christ in your market place!

It's so long since I blogged. Anyways I just got back from a 3 day cruise (Friday-Sunday), I didn't want to go... But went anyways cause I had to celebrate my cousins birthday. I missed Phil Pringle's service, feeling that perhaps I should have stood my ground and said that I don't wanna go... But this trip... Nevermind, share next time. Anyways this blog entry gonna be short casue of some 'things'... But what happened wasn't really a great ending to this week...

My desires

We were created to worship the Lord, to have fellowship with Him. To love Him. So... My desire is to rise up as a worship leader in the cell group! Amen! I, for one, don't like to rush worship. It is when I worship that I feel Him. It is when He speaks to me. I also want to learn how to play the guitar, and my mum has agreed to send me for lessons! PTL! The reason I wanna learn how to play the guitar is, it sounds nicer. I can also keep on worshipping Him without stopping. Whereas if I were to worship using a CD or my mp3 I gotta keep on repeating the track if I wanna go on worshipping with music... It's darn irritating.

The past few weeks has made me realize how much I need my lovely Daddy, my W363. It was kinda scary for me the past few weeks. struggling with disturbing thoughts and fears. But through it all I have learnt that I gotta lean upon God. Just like Jacob leaned on God... Abba Father, this is my heart's cry. That I will lean on You all the days of my life. That I can stay in Your house forever, worshipping You forever more.

Thank You God for the wonderful prayer meeting we had yesterday. Truly, You are our Emmanuel, God with us. He touched me yesterday, assuring me, saying "I am still here for You. Do not despair, for I am your hope, your joy, your strength. I am Your loving Father in heaven. What I have said let no one take from you. For I who have said it is faithful."

You are my strength
Strength like no other
strength like no other
Riches to me

You are my hope
Hope like no other
Hope like no other
Riches to me

In the fullness of Your grace
In the power of Your name
You lift me up
You lift me up

Unfailing love
Stronger than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Riches to me
