sometimes we thought we already managed to let go of something until we are to face the same thing again..we then realised that we didn't really overcome it yet. i'm not being emo, dun worry. I just feel so weak when I failed to overcome the same problem again and again. It has been four years. Letting go of something precious is not an easy thing at all. But I want to believe that prayer is powerful. I want to believe that God knows what's best for us. I want to believe that if it's meant to be, it will be. I want to.. let go.

true meaning of christmas

Christmas is just tomorrow! :) MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! i'm very excited and happy to celebrate the birth of christ! but sometimes it's kinda sad to see other people celebrating christmas as an event of exchanging presents without knowing the true meaning of it.

FIR TREE

the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven.

STAR

the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Saviour for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of His promise

CANDLE

the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of He who displaces the darkness

HOLLY LEAF

the holly plant represents immortality. It represents the crown of thorns worn by our Saviour. The red holly berries represent the blood shed by Him.

GIFT

God so loved the world that he gave his begotten son (john 3:16). Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

BELL

lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.

How many of us actually celebrate the true meaning of christmas?

For us who know the truth, let us celebrate

THE BIRTH OF CHRIST JESUS, THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD :)

BLESSED CHRISTMAS!!!!

For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,

Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

One desire '09

HELLO!!! I'm back! Just arrived penang yday :) Had a really great time during Big E camp, i believe everyone felt the same! I don't have the pics right nw. I will update the pics after they posted them on facebook :)

16th Dec

On the way to lumut, we played mafia just as usual. We argued, trying to deceive one another (because this is what the game is all about) and laughed like nobody's business :D.Arrived at lumut, perak in the afternoon. Had our lunch in KFC. The 1st thing we had was station game. We were divided into 5 groups n they are kalansanan, kalangadan, guminawo, peneka and ingin. These are names which means "desire" in different dialects. N i'm in peneka! Btw we won the 2nd prize :D After wash up, we had our very 1st session with Pr.Bobby from SIB Likas.

17th Dec

Second day of the camp. Had morning prayer at 6.30am. Then devotion and had 2nd session with Pr.Bobby's wife, Pr.Susan :) After that we moved on to workshop.HAH! Where we learn to make PIZZAS. Steven was incharged and taught us how to make dough, urm, and pizzas? He added salmon which i really hate. :( but still i took a bite cuz it was so tempting :) After eating pizzas, we had telematch among the groups. We had great time cheering, laughing and winning! oh yeah! Peneka Rocks! :) After dinner, we had our 3rd session with Pr.Bobby. And praise God there were 4 salvations!!!! :D WOOHOO!!

18th Dec

Third day of camp. We had morning prayer as usual. We then had the 4th session with Pr. Bobby. He preached about "loving one another". And his question is this, "Are you a convert or a disciple?". Followers of christ are the ones who achieves to the teaching of Jesus. Pr.Bobby shared about his testimony. He was once a gangster, took drugs, smoke and a pornography suppplier. But now, God has changed his completely, used him for God's glory. I'm so amazed :) Many times when we said "I'm just bla bla bla....I can't..." God wants to use these people because God uses the weak to lead the strong. After that, we had workshop about grooming and health.Oh my, this was the funniest thing ever! We were supposed to come out with our own comments on what to wear during certain occasions and then we also had to state down what we dislike about guys' dressing. All of us keep complaining about the opposite gender's dressing and it was just so funny. :D At night, we had the last session with Pr.Susan.. She shared on a very basic yet important topic that is "Knowing God". Some of us know God through head knowledge and through our emotional experience. But not many of us, know God completely. Knowing God involves adjustment in our lives, change in our character, be more like Him. Knowing God will allow God to take control completely, giving up our own desires. Because we know that God purposes for us is beyond what we can ever imagine. Pr.Susan ended her session by calling for an altar call. I bowed my head and closed my eyes, focusing on God. Suddenly Wai wai put her hand on my shoulder and I turned to her. Sarah was standing beside Yi Lin and she said, "I asked Yi lin whether she's ready to accept Christ into her life, and she said yes." When I heard this, tears kept rolling down from my eyes and I was so happy. I really don't know how to describe my feelings but I just want to praise God! I'm so happy for you, Wong Yi Lin!!! :D Presence of God was just so amazing!

Yi Lin's salvation reminded me about the power of prayer! Many times when you think God isn't listening, He is! When you think God is far away from you, He is just right beside you without you realising it! When you think that it's hard to preach the gospel, God moves! When you cry, every tear that you drop is so precious to God! God is just so amazing!! My family may not understand why am I serving this God called Jesus, but I know and I believe that at just the right time, all my family will be saved. Because with God, nothing is IMPOSSIBLE.

19th Dec

Back to penang. I'm very thankful that I've signed up for this camp :)

"One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek :

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple."

Psalm 27:4

boredom

i am so bored today!! Ajak hui sien watch couples retreat but kena reject. So i ended up playing bejeweled on facebook almost the whole day. I AM SO BOREDD... I'll be going down to Lumut, Perak tmr. So penang friends, dont miss me :) i dont know why my soundtracks can't be played nowadays. I've tried fixing it but failed. very lazy liao. so just leave it like dat la.. for display only.heeee.
I have tis random thought - Sometimes I really wonder how God can love everyone? Maybe simply because He has chosen to do so. Lord, teach me how to love pathetic people like how You love them.

this is the day that God has made

We had a very touching service today :) Faithful servant of God, Rev. Koe Choon Huan's appreciation day. Pr.Choon Huan is stepping down from his position as a Senior Pastor of Reservoir Garden Baptist Church and taking up a new challenge which God has set for him to a higher level this time. He will be serving God in KL,which obviously I do not know where :) but i believe God will bless him and his family abundantly! Pr.Palan will be taking up his place and I believe RGBCians will move into all that God has planned. Next year will be an exciting one!!

Pr.Koe Choon Huan! He is always joyful :) very cute and humble pastor! Although I'm new in RGBC (one and a half year is not long, is it?), he always encourage me and treat me really like a member of God's family as if he has known me for years. Sometimes before sunday service, he will come to me and talk to me, encourage me and pray for me. Little things like that means a lot to me :) Thank you very much, Pastor. May God bless you and ur family! :)

Oh! Not to forget that today is also Pr.Tom's bday!! Ohyeah baybeh!! It's Pr.Tom! A very very passionate man no matter what he does, makan ke,play ke, preach ke.. HE IS FULL OF PASSION! And He is crazy for Jesus! haha. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I love you pastor tom!

Last but not least, I would like to present my new bf to each and everyone of you. Yes, YOU! Have a look :) He is VERYYYYYYY cute, dun be jealous alright :D

Cute right? Sorry,He's MINE!:p

we were warned

2012 is one of the best-est movies that i had ever watched! My Goodness! It's super duper super duper super duper NICE! When Moy told me that 2012 is nice, I doubted. NOW that I've watched, I can't help but to agree with what he said. 101%! GOOD GOOD SUPER NICE! *thumbs up*

Matthew 24:29-51 says this :

"Immediately after the distress of those days,

the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time,' and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The Bible is not a storybook,
but the very word of God.
