(: Finally a time to blog! Things have been going around so quickly lately. One moment he's there, one moment he's not. Ended CG greatly, went home and it was different. Well one thing I'm glad of is that I'm in this church, and I have a great family in Christ with me. People who constantly keep encouraging me.. Ivan, with his wonderful smses and great talks. Sinfei, where we can laugh at our problems together. Chew, who went down all the way to Taka to buy a present for me. And all those who contributed to the present! It was really sad but well.. I've got over it and it's time to attack! I thank God for such a great leader who tells me things I didn't even know I was thinking of... But yes he did, and I changed my mindset. I don't hate you. I love you for who you are. I know you are a great man. Yes I do. And I will still be proud of you in the future (: Well, on to more exciting things! USHER MINISTRY 2.0! Everyone please look out for the men & women in black! They were zai, and now even zai-er!!! HAHAHA! And we're gonna have so many exciting things coming up, you will be blown away. Cherishing my time in the ministry! And Ivan, cannot anyhow put words into my mouth! DONT HAVE!!!! Seriously no. Hahaha. Tuesday, March 25, 2008 @ 10:26 PM
My garden (To Ivan & Chew) Okay, I didn't blog again yesterday. Haha. Yesterday was a roller coaster day... Firstly I got back my Econs test. Didn't really score very well... Okay, quite badly. But I'm still okay cos I know Tay Lao Shi will help me with it (: Then I went to church first, had a great time playing air hockey with John Herald, while Jeremy just kept serving the puck, in fact just throwing it all... Excited about Easter. Because B Zone broke through. The church broke through. And we're gonna keep it that way. And Ivan, thank you. Gratitude (: Went home.. Let's not talk about it. I won the war and that's all that matters. Today in school I saw an interesting poster. "Kindness is the only thing the deaf can hear, and the blind can see." Then I thought to myself, "God is the only one who can melt hardened hearts, unlock locked up hearts, and change someone from the inside out." And I think this sentence is so much more meaningful than the one in the poster! Haha. Jeremy & John Herald are surprised that I remember certain dates. 11th Dec 05 - First visit to hoGc 16th April 06 - First time ushering 6th May 07 - First duty as CU I think I'm quite administrative too last time... In the top right hand corner, I would write down all the significant events for that day. Who invited who, cg event, good friday, who came back from last week.. Well, I think I really grew a lot when I read my previous posts. Haha. Well, today Much-Afraid spoke into my life again. I want Acceptance-of-joy, that little flower, not Impatience that weed. I think there's this weed growing called Complacency, and I'm going to call the Chief Gardener to weed it out later when I visit Him. I would also need Him to build a larger fence for my garden to be bigger. And also stronger soil, so that seeds can grow better. Oh! And also fertilizers, to make sure I bear nice fruits. I think I'm starting to blog like Sam... Perspective. Hahaha. Please go and introduce yourself to Much-Afraid. She's really such a great woman (: Monday, March 24, 2008 @ 12:15 AM
A mixed-up post... Another attempt to blog although I'm feeling sleepy. Hahaha. A great end to Easter - Water Baptism! It's really so significant man.. Death, Birth, Marriage, all rolled into one! I think Easter was a time where I really grew in terms of planning.. Making sure the seats were enough, people sat next to people they were comfortable with, no one being left out... And of course, the harvest!!! Muahahaha. I REALLY SO BADLY NEED AND WANT MY TEAM TO GROWWWWWWWWWWWW! Hinds' feet on High Places. Ivan lent me this book, and I read a few pages, but stopped awhile. Continued on today, and regretted not chionging it! Much-Afraid, though very afraid, is very brave. Daring to just take that little step of faith and trusting the Shepherd all the way. Trusting his decisions, though she may hesitate, but she still goes on believing in the end. And that's all we need, to trust the Shepherd that whatever He does, it's the best for us. I may not know why He sent me to VJ, but I trust Him. Yes amen. In less than 24 hours, the chionging begins... Spiritual life, family, studies, people work, ministry. Who says a balanced life is not possible? (: Just a little bit more. Sunday, March 23, 2008 @ 12:38 AM
A great day of connections I'm seriously quite tired today although I don't know what. But anyway, I'm gonna continue blogging cos I cannot lose to ah chew too. I think this competition's kinda fun. Hahah. Today has been a great day of connections! My classmate, Melvin, aka Big Friendly Giant came. Andrew brought him. I didn't know who's Andrew. Turned out he was from B4, my sister-cg. Turned out he was in same OG as Gong but they didn't know they were from the same church. Turned out he also brought Chin Boon. Who turned out to be Sinfei's primary school friend. Debbie brought Melissa. Who turned out to be Cherie Low's primary school friend. A great day of turn outs... Haha. The day beginned with a great meeting with Ivan, a great sharing with Charleston. Continued with lots of photo taking, song dedications, and balloons. Went on with new friends, salvations. Ended with dinner, and pretending to lead praise with LSF in MPR. Great Great day today. Tmr's gonna be awesome. A new level for everyone. Let's pray for salvations, and a great harvest. Goodnight (: Friday, March 21, 2008 @ 10:29 PM
Good Friday.. What a good day! "We blog all the time trying to inspire ourselves." - Ivan Totally agree. Half the time I blog is so that I would have a great time enjoying reading my own blog. Haha! And I am really quite happy with my blog... Because it shows your ups and downs, and how you've grown (: I'm really excited now cos I just heard the best news for today! FAUSTINA CAN COME!!! Not only that, her MUM is coming. Her mum, the only obstacle stopping her from coming to church. And the obstacle is actually coming.. Plus many many friends. From a girl who can only come during the holidays. If this isn't God's work, tell me what is. GOOD FRIDAY IS INDEED GOOD! So hard to believe that 2008 years ago Someone died on the Cross for us. I really don't have much to blog about today. I'm just plain happy. Haha. B2 DOUBLED + MORE! :D Enjoy the next 2 days of harvest! @ 12:12 AM
Passion Was trying to look for this sentence that Pastor Lia once shared. Something that was witty, something like: "... should be like a mini-skirt. Long enough to cover the topic, short enough to be interesting." But I found a more inspiring sentence than what I set out to look for. "Do not be a joiner. Be a strong, passionate believer..." It was my 7th service and Pastor Lia preached about pride. I think that sentence must have hit me hard cos I wrote it on top of the page. Funny thing is that I don't remember writing it down at all. Pride. The ground in which sins grow. A sin of presence of its victim is least concious of. How scary that is. Proverbs 29:23 "A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honour." Pastor Lia shared with us the ABC of pride - Achievements, Breeding, Cerebral (being smart & intellectual). And the final sentence, which I also wrote on the top of the page was this. "Do not be a joiner. Be a strong, passionate believer..." It may not mean something to me then, but it definitely means something now. Pastor How is a man of passion. Pastor Lia is a woman of passion. My leaders are all people of passion. If they believe in something, they go all out, and they get it. Nothing is impossible for them. Pastor Lia also once preached about Power always follow Passion. If you have the passion, you will just keep on doing what you're doing, believing what you're believing, seeing what you're seeing... What a great thing it is to have passion. Esp for the things of God, an eternal achievement. I was just typing in my report about how mercenary my classmates were... So desperate to join so many CCAs so that at the end of JC life, they can write a uber nice list for the top 3 achievements. And they say I have no life because I've decided not to join any CCA... If only they know! An ahievement in the heaven is definitely much more that a mere top achievement for your CCA. I don't think that thought would ever dare to cross their mind anymore. Haha. I shall just share with them about End Times and it'll be all the awakening they need. I really can't wait for DOTL to come.. Hopefully they are saved by then, (actually they are, but they just don't go to church), otherwise they'll wonder why I'm up there! Haha. Easter is gonna be awesome. B2 doubled!!! :D And it's going to be an official 2 years since I first started to usher! Be passionate about what you love. Love what you are passionate about. I'm a passionate believer who believes in passion. Passion of the Chrst. Are you? Anyway I remembered the sentence I was looking for... "Excuses are skins of reasons stuffed with lies." (: Thursday, March 20, 2008 @ 2:59 PM
I don't wana admit that I've lost Went to my blog, and all I see is Chew and Ivan said I lost. Went to Chew's blog, all I see is Ivan asking me to surrender my blog. Went to Ivan's blog, all I see is that Ivan says it's hard to blog everyday.... And I admit. It's really quite hard. But if God, all things are possible! Hahahaha. I really so love my team now. Really so love. So so so so so so so so so so love! This is what teamwork is all about. They make me feel so happy. They do things, and make it happen. They can do things that I can't do. And I'm happy about it! I really am (: Come to think about it, they can get integrations that I can't get back. If that is not zai, what is! I really so love my team now.. And I can't say how much I love. Thousand words can't express my feelings.. Haha. And I really so love my LIFE now. Really so love. So so so so so so so so so so love!!!!! My team is in place. My studies.. may not be so in place, but at least it's in the process of being in place! I'm being discipled all the time, I'm growing all the time. Honestly sometimes I really don't see why people dislike being discipled... Yes it hurts sometimes because it means that you've done something wrong. But if your leader don't disciple you, how can you grow? If you wana grow, ASK for discipleship! And if you have not been discipled for a long time, it just means 2 things. 1. You are growing too well (but actually if you're growing, your leader should be discipling you right?) 2. Your leader gave up hope on you. And I hope it's not the latter... I think I'm not making much sense about the discipling paragraph. Let's hope that I am. Haha. Had a great Econs tuition with DT ytd. Sinfei and I had a hard time trying to be serious when the tuition just started... But we had to be otherwise it won't be effective. And no wonder DHM is in VJ... The questions that she ask... Let's not talk about it cos I haven't understand her question yet. Haha. And I played with Rinnah. She invited me into her room! She's so super adorable. She introduced me to her dolls.. There's Ashimeneh, messy-hair, and botak-one... And another wearing Pammy's clothes... And a heart that has "Dad dad and Ma Ma's love"! I hope my daughter will be like her next time (: Today's post is all over the place.. But I enjoyed posting it. I REALLY TRULY SO SO LOVE ALL THAT I'M DOING NOW. And I got to rush all the things that I need to do because I knocked out yesterday. But it's okay... Cos I love it! Haha. (This post represnts the post for 19 March, which means I will blog again tonight!) Monday, March 17, 2008 @ 10:52 PM
It's all part of God's plan Was talking to Hao Yue on the phone, and telling her that no matter where we go, God has a plan in store for us. It brought me back to Primary 6. Everyone expected me to get better grades, some teachers were quite disappointed with mine. My desire was Cedar, yet I got into Nan Chiau, this ulu school I've never heard of before. From English-speaking background, into this cheena school, complete with Chinese school song and motto. For 2 years, I led a purposeless, friendless, lifeless life there. Forever changing my group of friends, never seeming to fit in. Yet at the end of 2005, someone brought me to church. And from then, my destiny in life unfolded. Although she has left now, but still I thank her for bringing me into my destiny. And only in 2007, then I looked back on the past 4 years, and finally realised it was all part of God's plan. Maybe I would have gone to hoGc in Cedar, but I may not start a revival there. In Cedar, I can declare proudly to the world, "I'm from a good school." But in Nan Chiau, I can proudly declare to God, "I've done your work, I fulfilled the purpose that you have given to me in that school." I've started something, and it would keep on going. Something to be remembered even after the 1000-year reign. Yes. I truly think it was all part of God's plan. Wanted to blog about yesterday's discipleship class but realised there were some sensitive issues... But definitely, the presence of God. I was ministered to. Never thought I was feeling this way, but God opened it all up. Poured out my feelings to Him. It felt good. It was refreshing. Where can I go from Your Presence Under Your wings I take refuge Your Spirit lives within my heart I know we'll never be apart The presence of God. I love it. Sunday, March 16, 2008 @ 12:13 AM
Wishes, visions, and breakthroughs Spiritual breakthrough, yeah! (: Had a great prayer meeting and service today. Presence of God so thick. More than that, people felt it and were touched. Prayed for some people and it was really a big step of faith for me. Learning to trust God, and have faith in Him. To depend on the Holy Spirit, and not just my own wisdom & knowledge. Yeah man (: Pastor Lia! My role model man. When I grow up I want to be just like her. Having a great ministry life, leading others, impacting others. Having a great & godly family, all planted in the same house of God. Leading others into the presence of God, to see people's lives changed. To continue this life, serving God for the next 50-60 years (if DOTL has not come, haha). To always have this love for people, this desire to raise up a generation of youths who will be different. Whenever I go, the presence of God follows. I want to be just like her, a heart after her, a replica of her. Yup, that's my wish! A vision was brought back from the FTMS days when I was just a regular. God gave me a vision of me preaching to a group during CG. I was the CGL of that CG. Another was me playing the guitar, and leading people into the presence of God. I think the 2nd vision's quite dead now.. So I shall focus on the first! Even though some people like Pang Chew may laugh at this but I must still WRITE IT DOWN ON TABLET. HUMBLE SPIRIT (: and suddenly i just miss yy so much. those times that we had. those times seeing her breakthrough. those times seeing her fighting her po just for service. those times seeing her serve God with a smile on her face. i miss you yy.

Come, chionging spirit! I'M TIRED !!! But I can't sleep, unlike LSF, who's reading This Present Darkness now. Cos I need to study for my maths test!!! Irritating school. Zone chalet was over. I think B Zone's was quite different from other zones'! We didn't have games, but just slack, eat, sleep. A great time of fellowship and knowing people. And many movie screenings!! Passion of the Christ. It was my first time yesterday night (today morning) at 2.30am! When I was watching the show, just got holy anger can... That's my God you're hitting and bullying!! Cried non-stop and Sam & Sinfei kept sayanging me, haha. But that's what make Him so powerful. With all the power in the world, but yet willing to be humiliated this way to save us. The blood of the Lamb. The power of redemption. And Sinfei & I were nonsense to the max!!! There was Part II which is Gong & I by the poolside. Haha. We had our Shanghainese cheer, and charger song which Ivan say we can only sing during the 1000-year reign. But fear not cos we have a new song called the SHUA YA SHUA KA SONG! (Ivan if you're seeing this, we'll present it to you during this weekend : D ) HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMANTHA & CHEWWWWWW! B2&4 did so many things for Sam. 1. Our blog! http://heartafterhis.blogspot.com/ 2. Hearts on the wall which she had to form the blog add herself 3. WE <3 SAM shirts! 4. Converse shoes 5. Scrapbook I think we've come up to a new level of love! Can share testimony already. Hahaha. Went to ktv after chalet. We managed to find the $10 one!! Sang like siao, and saw some people with some people which makes me feel super happy! She's changed (: HAO YUE IS A SUPERWOMAN OF GOD! She's changed so so so much! She would help me with integrating and she stills remembers this... My zone, my responsibility. She's interested and excited in the same things as we do. She's WANG TONG! Haha. Amazing 3 days spent. Amazing 2 days ahead. So far my mum is still angry and hasn't given me a reply yet. But who cares? I HAVE FAITH THAT I CAN GO FOR BOTH DAYS! Prayer meeting is going to be awesome (: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 @ 11:17 PM

Teamwork (: "God is our Victory, and He's already won for us! All we have to do is move in and take that victory, just pick it like ripe fruit!" Went to Ivan's blog and although there were no updates, he asked me to go to CCHM's blog! So I went straightaway. And I know why, she's just a powerful woman.. F2 + B2 = FB 2.0 The art of team work. Recently, the leaders in F2 and B2 have developed a strong relationship with each other. i don't know why, but it just happened. HAHA When the leaders of both CGs meet, there is a power of teamwork. I just cant describe. We are not in the same CG, however when we come together, it feels like we are one. A beautiful fusion. We think and work the same lingo. Meeting Nadine, Sin fei and the rest of them is just so amazing. you get to see how they work with people and on the other hand, they get to see how F2 operates. its like a cultural exchange, not physically but spiritually. All these while, we have always been focusing on teamwork. The leaders support one another by filling in the gaps. We are not just looking at our team, but beyond it. Going into one another's team to raise people up, its more than just "my team". we build our people around pastors and leaders. This is the power of teamwork. - http://anartoffaith.livejournal.com/ Powerful right! And I won't feel weird posting this because CCHM is just so right! Yeah man.. There's just this beautiful fusion when B2 & F2 leaders come together. We have such a click in the spirit! We laugh, we smile, we cry over the same things. One day B2 will grow to F2's size. And our leadership would be just like F2's, the power of teamwork. How these people just see things, how they complement each other. We would be that way too. I'm always blown away but how people in F2 think and do things, they're just ZAI. B2 + F2 = BF 2.0 Best Friends 2.0 Such a force not seen before. Beware. Sunday, March 9, 2008 @ 11:36 PM
Random! Wah sian, ytd I typed a super long post. Then just as I was about to click "Publish", I thought to myself, need to save just in case a not ah? But you know what, I had faith in blogger. I didn't save. And guessed what happened?! Oh well. Quick summary is that Bible Study finally and sadly ended! Learnt so many things, flipped to and fro the Bible so many many times in the past week. God is indeed a powerful God. It's like, 900 years apart, they speak of the same thing. Inspired to reach out, Easter is coming!!! Grab this opportunity!!! Ivan had a powerful sharing with us on Friday. Shall not elaborate as it was quite personal (for me anyway). Anyway, things are gonna be different mannnnnn :D R&R! Weiling called me and said Charleston wanted to meet some of us after service, and I was like, sure is End Times pop quiz!!! DIE!!! So I went to the meeting with a pen in my hand, and I was like telling everyone, it's pop quiz! Then in the end it was not... -.- Charleston just told us that discipleship class is gonna start next week! Yeah! AND CAN I JUST SAY HOW PROUD AM I OF CANDY LEE XIN BEI! She's the role model of everyone out there who says they can't come because of PO. The way she fights.. I tell you, no one can beat her in that! Jia jia jia you!! We all believe in you (: OH AND I CAN IMITATE DENG HUIIIIIIIIIII WELLLLLLLL! HAHA! Monster Chan is my partner in that, muahahaha. I got 1/10 for my Chem E-assessment!! Wahahaha. Leonard was supposed to help me do but he knocked out. LOL. Multiple attempts were allowed, so I TRIED AGAIN. 5 questions were repeated. And I memorised the answers from the previous test.. So I got... 5/10!! HAHAHA. Not bad considering all the things that were tested on I have not learnt yet! Went to share testimony at another church today. Their Pastor is super nice! Gave me a HAND-WRITTEN CARD! I'm sure they will have major revival in the schools too! FAUSTINA CAME TODAY!!! She's super cute lah. Only she would dare to do the things she did in admin ofc just now... Hahahaha. I see something in her. She's gonna be a powerful woman in future (: So many things happened within the past few days. Sensed a change, see the change, love the change! Oh well, what I say. My life is just too awesome and I LOVE IT! Where will you find such an exciting life as mine? Heh. Sunday, March 2, 2008 @ 8:27 PM
blue's clues! I'm on my way to end my end times. 1 hour completed. And I'm on PAGE FIVE of my chem lecture notes. Can't stand VJ. Just too smart for me. So I'm determined to be retard. I'M DOWNLOADING BLUE's CLUES PODCASTS :D @ 7:06 PM
I AM A PIGGGGGG At 10 plus, Sam called me. "Nadine, you wake up a already a not?!" "I refuse to wake up." "Faster wake up lah!" Then we talked about some stuffs, then no choice, I have to wake up. Watched some show till 2 plus. THEN I SLEPT TILL 6 PLUS. HAHA!! Woke up, helped my mum with her game, bathed. Was clearing my clothes when my beloved Sam called me to give me bad news! Nvm lah, I must protect that person. However, anyone who's interested to know please call me, email me.. ALTHOUGH YOUR ESCHATOLOGY IS HERE, BUT I STILL LOVE YOU PEARLENE! Heh. And I still owe Sam 3 hours study rule. My end times are here. @ 12:47 AM
Amazing The past few days have been so so amazing. So many powerful encounters with God. Encounters that you know for sure must be Him. Cos no one else can bring that presence in so strongly. My team is changing around.. Yes, not only can you feel it. You can see it happening. Thank God for such great people.. Pearlene, Candy, Hao Yue. You guys are the love of my life! (: I thank God for putting them into my life. BIBLE STUDY! ESCHATOLOGY. Bet you don't know what that means! Haha. Matthew 24, Revelations. AMAZING! They are truly the Word of God. The presence was so thick, everyone was touched by it, ministered to.. SCHOOL! Don't even talk about it. HAHA Ivan have been teaching me much about leading people, to up myself.. Many areas I've never seen before in my life are now brought to light. And now I know why some things happen! He prepared a whole library to throw at me already! Yeah! So exciting :D And I realised that I like fiction books more. Haha Just hung up the phone with Sam. 41 min conversation. SUPER RANDOM! Ivan's meeting; some people; Rinnah; Gabriel's jokes; Sam's desire; her secret-but-no-longer-secret blog and many more.. My life has just been so amazing this past week. God working on so many areas, having so many encounters... I love my life. And like what Pastor said, I won't give it up for anything. WOULD YOU? |
