oh man, serving for midautumn service today was such a joy.
the packing of mooncakes, meeting new friends, distributing mooncakes.. haha it was awesome.it was tiring for sure, but oh what blessedness!
to be in the midst of the miracles happening, the souls saved.. one word, amazing.
it was so heart warming, hearing about my friends relatives, parents, grandparents, loved ones getting saved. to see the people crowding in front of the stage to recieve christ during the altar call. so precious! (:
i loved the way pastor mark preached during the altar call. it was so romantic!
" will you recieve me? are you willing to spend your life with me? cos i am."
oh mannnn..
this hokkien-mandarin ministry is so blessed! all these old folks, bounded to their wheelchairs, walking sticks etc, finally getting to hear the gospel of grace. the true gospel of grace. to know the one true god, who loves them so much! "here is the good news, Jesus loves you! He loves you, for who you are. He knows everything you have done yet He still loves you" will you love Him back? will you recieve Him and let Him command blessings towards you?
-selah-
what a great harvest of precious precious souls today. Daddygod You are sooo good. i had soooo much fun! thankyouDaddy! :D

As a counselor and a friend, and especially as a husband, I've been honored to be welcomed into the deep heart of Eve. Often when I am with a woman, I find myself quietly wondering, What is she telling me about God? I know he wants to say something to the world through Eve—what is it? And after years of hearing the heart-cry of women, I am convinced beyond a doubt of this: God wants to be loved. He wants to be a priority to someone. How could we have missed this? From cover to cover, from beginning to end, the cry of God's heart is, 'Why won't you choose me?' It's amazing how humble, how vulnerable God is on this point.'You will . . . find me, says the Lord, 'when you seek me with all your heart.' (Jer. 29:13). In other words, 'Look for me, pursue me—I want you to pursue me.' Amazing. As Tozer says,"God waits to be wanted".

for everyone
There's nothing like plastering "CapitaLand, Rock build $660m integrated hub" to really get the day started.
Better still, the first paragraph that begins with "so-and-so and so-and-so... will spend a whopping (emphasis mine) $660 million to develop an integrated civic, cultural, retail, and entertainment hub at Vista Xchange..." is enough to be thankful that:
1. We have a SMART and WISE and SAVVY church management who have the guts, wisdom and discernment to be so ambitious as to garner such massive support from a major property player AND a government body.
2. I only need to take a 15-20 minute WALK there when it is ready in 3-4 years' time.
3. We're going to make people jealous - because we have a Heavenly Father who is ABLE TO PREPARE and PROVIDE in such a TIMELY MANNER (imagine what other property players are thinking... mwahahah).
4. We are the ANCHOR TENANT, instead of some supermarket or departmental store. Just imagine - a CHURCH being the ANCHOR tenant of a mall! The stronghold that keeps the place running! It's blasphemously thrilling!
5. All but ONE of the media (The Straits Times) did not mention New Creation Church - I predict massive flaming for this. But who cares?!
6. ALL of us who have been serving in the church have played a part in this, offerings or no. And WE are and will be a BLESSING not only to Capitaland and JTC, but to ALL prospective tenants there!
7. Our Heavenly Father is taking the lead in this project. Everything has been so WONDERFULLY mapped out - from exponential congregational growth, the rising number of wealthy people in our midst, the increasing wisdom amongst our leaders, the number of YEARS it took for the business deals to go through before the news was allowed for public consumption :P... and HE GETS ALL THE CREDIT because HE IS GOOD BEYOND ALL LIMITS!!!!!!!
Are you excited?! XD
and
thisWood, it was cold and dead. Yet when i touched it, i sensed familiarity. i was like it, cold and lifeless. then came a Man whose name is Life. He told me about Himself and where He was going. Although He was a Stranger, His words burn within me like a fire and i was consumed. Since then, i followed Him and became like Him.
As i walked, i saw woods along the way and I shared Life with them. they too, were consumed by Life. More and more became like Him and walked along the same way as I did. As they journeyed on, they found woods and shared Life with them too. Nonetheless, some chose to remain just as they were and they never gave themselves the chance to walk along the way. there were also some who fell along the way too.
Yet, Life was gentle and patient with all. He lifted those who fell and strengthened them. Renewed and washed, those that fell stood up strong again and they walked on. However among those who fell, there were some who never gave themselves the chance to walk the way again.
Toward the end of the way, i saw many others who looked just like Life. Then, I took a mirror and looked into it. I tried looking for myself but I found none of me. all that I could see was only Life. A question brewed within me, was it me or was it Him who completed and walked this journey? i searched within me and found an answer within my heart. It says, "Son, We have become one.".
listen to Him.

so i was whining to Daddygod.. "Daddy arh, help me get a taxi kay. dont let the service start without me!"
haha amazingly, after a few steps after the prayer, a taxi came! praise god! so i reached suntec at around 2:22 (i checked my watch. hahaha) to see the queue just going in! Praise God! haha pastor was having one of his long sermons again. and Daddy did wait for me.

played squash for most of the day. so fun (: hahaha
so yes. haha
heres something that is a
must read for GIRLS!
Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the Beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart. And yet--how many women do you know who ever find that life? As the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed aside, wounded, buried. She finds no romance except in novels, no adventure except on television, and she doubts very much that she will ever be the Beauty in any tale. Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, chores and errands, striving to be the women they "ought" to be, but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. But her heart is still there. Sometimes when she watches a movie, sometimes in the wee hours of the night, her heart begins to speak again. A thirst rises within her to find the life she was meant to live--the life she dreamed of as a little girl. The message of Captivating is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman--they are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman.
A woman who is truly captivating

stop hiding already.
does it not hurt?
faking smiles, building walls..
does the bitterness not eat you up?
stop acting already.
the world aint a stage
open up, stop reading those lines..
how long more can you go on?
you are not alone now
theres someone who cares
a life given away
a death upon the cross
nails struck down through his hands
can you not see the blood pouring out
in the form of love..
tear down your defences
let Him catch you as you fall
He wont let you go
for you are now His own
let Him take you home
a place filled with love
no more worries or cares
stop struggling on your own
please stop hurting yourself.
for it hurts Him too..
