We had Nel's prayer meet at church office on wednesday. We were late so we missed out half of it, but Nel's sharing is equally powerful as well. I can't help but to agree with her, i keep nodding my head till it's like dropping off (being random here)!

l'll just share some of it here...

One thing that i think it's really true is that it's not how much we do but how much we know. We can strive to work hard for God, strive to win souls for God but actually we don't know much about God which loses it's purpose of serving Him. God want us to know Him more each day, not just serving Him more each day.

Matthew 22:37-39 (New International Version) 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[a] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b]

If you realise, Jesus did not command us to evangelise, to shepherd our sheeps, to take care of the group, to glorify Him or even to serve Him and such.

Jesus commanded us to LOVE HIM and to LOVE HIS PEOPLE.

So as we continue to know God more, to walk closer with Him, to love Him even more, the rest is just an overflow from our heart because of our love for Him. It's because we love God, that's why we serve Him. It's because we love God, that's why we read the WOG. It's because we love God, that's why we obey Him and follow His plans. It's because we love God, that's why we evangelise.

Don't get the sequence mix up as it represents alot! God did not command us to do that as it should be natural for us to do that when we have a close relationship with God.

For myself, i realise that all along i have been trying very hard to serve God but actually i'm on the wrong track. I get myself to read more of the WOG, go down to evax more, stive to regularly shepherd my sheeps, make sure that i grow in different areas. However i forget to do the most fundamental yet important task, which is to get to know Christ more and more each day, getting closer and loving Him more.

Some people on appearance they are really working very very hard for God but in fact, their relationship with God are like strangers. They stop spending quality time with God, stop getting to know more about God. God doesn't want us to work very hard for Him, God want us to know Him more. It's not that we don't work hard for God, but don't get the sequence wrongly. When your walk with God gets closer, it's so natural for you to evangelise and stuff as you will obey God and walk in His path for You.

Some people as they are in this ministry for quite some time, they will tend to stop knowing more about God. They still do their qt and such but they have stop discovering new things about Him.

Ask yourself this questions now,
Is your walk with God closer day by day? Are you knowing Him more each day? Are you loving Him more each day?

Why not next time when you read the bible, don't strive to read many chapters. See what God wants to speak to you, see what God wants you to do.

Conversion starts from yourself! Before you even go around converting others, make sure your life is on the right track. When we are following God's path for us, obeying Him, things will come naturally as well. When you know more about God's love for you, you will naturally love God more!

"Vision gives you the drive to move on, but Love gives you the strength to do it"

(God i want my walk with You to be closer each day, i want to know You more and i want to love You more!)

This is a long post! =)

Easter

Happy Easter =)

Easter is about God fulfilling His promise to us!

(Jesus thanks for dying on the cross to pay for our sins. I always thought to myself how come Jesus with no sins at all is willing to die on the cross, and how come out of so many types of death, He chose the most painful one. I finally know why, the answer is simple. Because He love us. This message is once again brought back into my heart, thank You Jesus.)

Ironically, i'm filled with anger at this moment as i type. Jesus help me to become more like You, help me to forgive others like how You forgive me, help me to love others like how You love me.
Guide me Lord.

I simply love listening to teachings~ lalalala

I really think the Virtuous speaking church series about Gossip is so cool! It's so interesting, funny and impactful. I really learn a lot from it, can't wait to put it into use. HAHA! lol.

This is a random post as i'm really very tired now, i had less than 2 hrs of sleep yesterday and i'm still awake now at 3.35 am! woohoo.

Anyway i totally agree with ahbe that our cg is weird,
as each and everyone of them are weirdos!

Dennis, Shirley: They sleep like a pig! They will never have 1 missed call on their phone, cux it will be much more than that!
Pris: She is the priest!
Lestari: Sister of Kastari!
Ahbe: Ru ru ru ru niang, lau lau lau!
Joseph: He is a cold lamer! oh, He's a ghost.
Newell: There is something wrong with his english/chinese, he keeps calling me 'ge ting'!
Mag: She breaks easily! lol
Cj: AUNTIE!
Shuhfen: She is forever asking questions, forever blur!
Pq: Hiak hiak hiak!
Geckting: She is weird because she looks extremely beautiful and i have no idea why she ends up in the same group with a bunch of weirdos.

You Are

You are the love of my life
You are the hope that I cling to
You mean more than this world to me
I wouldnt trade you for silver or gold
I wouldnt trade you for riches untold.
You are , you are my everything

I wouldnt take one step without you
I could never go on.
I couldnt breathe on breath without you.
I dont have the strength
To make it on my own

Thank you God for giving me so many chances.
I get Your message, I know what to do.
I choose to serve You, I choose to obey You.
I know i'm foolish to not let You take control,
To let emotions and feeling take over me
So now i've decided to serve You no matter what happens,
To obey You despite my feelings
I want to be someone that You will be proud of,
Someone that will put a smile on Your face
And i know i need You in this journey with me, help me Lord.

(I know i still need time to let go, to put down certain emotions burden but i know as well that i've decided to serve God, so i will still go on. Serving God is never easy but i know i will continue despite everything. Keep me in your prayers. )

FOOD!

I'm definitely going to be fatter and fatter!

I've been indulging in alot of food this few days, my stomach is getting bigger and my wallet is getting smaller. I went to novena for steamboat buffet, burger king's breakfast, seoul garden. I will be going New York New York, swensens, 'traders' hotel buffet... My life seems to be all about food. lol. So please ask me out to exercise!

I'm moving on to tertiary in a few days time, i'm really gonna miss my caregroup alot! People like joyce, yushan, ida, shushan, jiaqi, jade, my sheeps (i'm like naming the whole cg) and the rest. They are really a bunch of very fun people to hang out with. A big 'thank you' to all of u for the video, the skit and the song! I'm really very very touched. Let's meet up often in the future as well!

Sidetrack abit, i think ida is really a very cute person. HAHA. She pay over $16 to go seoul garden to eat plain rice!

Anyway I'm quite excited for the new environment and the new people to work with! (Can't wait for the durians outing) I believe God will use all of us greatly, i'm anticipating lots of growth from God.

I'll update more with pictures in the next post! =)
