Trying to be a Light unto the world.

Facing Your Giants

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

I've been reading a book called 'Facing Your Giants'. Really cool book! And just something to share that i've learnt is that when David faced Goliath, he did not focus on Goliath but he focused on God! In the same way, whatever our giants in our life may be, lets not focus on the giant but on God! =D

Showing Love

Monday, June 29, 2009

School was pretty cool. It has actually all along been good this year, but I always wanted something better, more... I guess it feels different, weekends and weekdays in school... I mean, I can feel God and all but on weekdays in school I don't feel like I'm living how God wants me to live... Even sometimes on weekends... I don't show love to the people around me and that isn't a small thing! Though some friends may be annoying and all but that doesn't mean we should treat them worse or not as good as we treat friends that aren't annoying.

There may be friends that reject you and all but still show love for them.

A question one guy asked in the movie FIREPROOF, "how can you keep on showing love to someone who keeps on rejecting you." he said that cos his wife and him were gonna divorce. then he tried to change the situation but the wife didn't appreciate what he was doing...

Similar, we may ask ourselves that question when our friends keep on rejecting us but think about it, how did Jesus keep on showing love to us when men kept on rejecting Him? I guess that's really what love is... =] I tried abit of that in school today, it feels great, doing what God wants us to do, showing love... We love because he first loved us.-1 John 4:19

God Bless =]

Pray!

I've learnt something over a period of time, that we shouldn't take God for granted.. Alot of times I wanted to go skate then ended up I couldn't cos of the rain... But all this showed me the importance of praying for the weather before doing ur outdoor activities! =D

Back To School!

Sunday, June 28, 2009

Well, it's back to school tomorrow! =] I don't know if I look forward or not to this new season of my life. I believe it can be cool, cos of revival and stuff but... ah i dunno... I guess if I can manage my time well and cope with all my commitments, I would look forward to school... Another struggle I face is feeling God's presence in school... I want to live a life that reflects Christ!

I guess I really don't know what to expect. I want something more, I don't want to feel like how I used to feel after school, I want to live close to God, love the pre-believers, to love them like how I would to a believer. To not be pulled down by emotions and all!

"God I pray that in this coming term, You take full control God! I don't want to live like how I've been living, I want more... God there's more out there I know it! I want to lead people to Christ and to feel like how I feel in church. To feel your presence and love so strongly like how I do in church! God I pray for strength and wisdom! Even in my studies, I want to reflect You in my life through my results also! God, let me no longer rely on emotions! God, come and change my mindset about school! I really want more of You God! In Jesus Name, AMEN!!!"

ok I just wanna list some things that I want to change,

- Emotions

- Showing love to my classmates

- Do well in my studies

- Handle my time better

- Build up my quiet time

- Grow stronger in God

- Live differently (in a good way)

- A friends life

I'm gonna try my best to keep track on these things =]

'While I'm Waiting' from Fireproof(movie)

Tuesday, June 23, 2009

Fireproof is an awesome movie man!!! must watch, haha... =]

Here it is! =D Awesome song with awesome meaning =D

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Looking back

Monday, June 22, 2009

Was looking back at my june posts last year while listening to the song, 'Heart Of Worship'.

"God, I thank You so much for shaping me to who I am today... So many things I did not understand in the past. Sorry for turning away from you, I wanna come back to the heart of worship You come and be first in my life LORD. God, I wanna soak in your presence, your love, your peace forever. Take me life God... Amen..."

Lost for words...

C2 camp

Saturday, June 20, 2009

The central 2 cell camp was awesome! Was helping out as a musician for the camp so we stayed one night before the camp started to practice. haha... That night we practiced till we were pretty tired, then we came together and had an awesome time of prayer and worship led by Ben Lee... We got our focus back and after that did 'Mighty To Save' focusing on worshipping God only... It was awesome =] Then we watched a movie, Drumline... cool movie =]

18 june, after playing for the dedication service, we took a nap. Actually we ended up playing.. haha!

Here are some pictures:

Chee Yann playing CS(Charlie Surfing)

HAHA!

The music was too loud, so we didn't have drums for the night service. After the night service, we had so practice for the next day's workshop in the morning. So Benedict had a super cool way of making the drums softer... Using Tissue Paper.. HAHA!!! It actually works haha...

The next day was the cool part. After the morning workshop Josh and I met kenneth heng in church then he drove us to east coast park where josh and I skate and kenneth roller blade.

Here's some cool photos

Leaders Retreat 7-10june 'Revolutionary Road'

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Hey Awesome People Out There!!! I'm back from Leader's retreat! Really miss it... Did alot of funny stuff especially with Kenneth and Sam as my room mates... HAHA! =D LOVE my group, SOMPOP!!! POP POP POP!!! =]

Anyway, I went to the retreat not knowing what to expect. Weeks before the retreat I was so far from God, I stopped doing my daily devotion. God was not first in my life, I stopped listening to Christian music and drifted so far from God. I was a weekend Christian, never had I drifted so far from God. I stopped praying to God too... But God used this camp to change all that! On the first day during the dedication service at the start of camp, I broke down during the worship and just cried the moment I prayed to Him... During the first day's night service, during the altar call, one of the groups to respond to the altar call was for those who had drifted away from God. I went to the front and had a great encounter with God again =D

Day 2, there was a game called crossroads. It was a station game and the point that the camp com were trying to get through to us was that if God tells you that if you evangelise to person A, he will get saved for sure but you don't really know person A. So you need to get through person B and C to get to know person A. Don't just get though person B and C to get to your objective instead, grab that opportunity to reach out to person B and C too! Through that game, I'm inspired to grab every chance to evangelise! Evangelism should be a lifestyle! God has called every singly one of us to be a fisher of men! =]

Day 3 totally rocked! The best part of when they brought us to a kite museum then we learnt to make our own kite and then there was a huge gigantic field(never seen a field that big) where we flew our kites and had a kite competition, seeing which group had more kites... haha, then after that we had about an hour of free time around the field... It felt really awesome, just being away from everything, so relaxed... Appreciating the simple things in life... =]

The night part rocked big time too!!! It was like more of a celebration, they set up a stage, table and chairs around the pool... Then the dinner was BBQ... Was awesome!!! WHOO!!! =] Then my group performed 'I'm Yours' haha... =]

Day 4, today! It really rocked! service was really awesome! Alot of writing of cards and all, really encouraging =] I wish it was the first day again...

"Dear God, come and run my life the way you want to, I want to make evangelism a lifestyle. I want to surrender my life, my dreams, my plans and all to you. Thank You for forgiving me of all my sins, Love YOU DADDY GOD!!! =DDD"

My hotel room, my room buddies were Kenneth Nah and Samuel Ng... haha =]

A beautiful sunset... *Must see it live

More Photos coming UP! =D
