Almighty God, the great I am
Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious warrior, commanding King of Kings
Mighty conqueror, and the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run

Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise when God ran

The day I left home I knew I’d broken His heart
And I wondered then if things could ever be the same
Then one night I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road ahead I could see
It was the only time – it was the only time I ever saw Him run

And then He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise as He brought me to my knees
When God ran – I saw Him run to me

I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away
But now I know He’s been waiting for this day

I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again

He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, “Son”, He called me Son
He said, “Son do you know I still love you?”
He ran to me and then I ran to Him
When God ran

+ AMEN

Corrinne May

A little boy of thirteen
was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing
and he went to take a look

Thousands were listening
to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom,
even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly
the day turned to night
Everyone was hungry
but there was no food in sight

The boy looked in his lunchbox
at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do
there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
the kindness in His smile
and the boy cried out
with the trust of a child
he said:"

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
to feed them all"

I often think about that boy
when I'm feeling small
land I worry that the work I do
means nothing at all

But every single tear I cry
is a diamond in His hands
and every door that slams in my face
I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give you every breath that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small
I trust in you
I trust in you

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
no gift is too small

+ AMEN

Thanksgiving

Ok. Once again, I'm here to present my thanksgiving for my results. AS USUAL, I failed as a student to actually prepare before hand for my Into To Film Quiz, and as per normal, I only manage to study for the quiz on my way to school, only this time different, more pressure was upon myself as I skipped class for that topic due to camp. Waited like ages for the bus while trying to comfort myself that there will be bus service as the interchange have no 170 at all while praying for God to have the bus come as fast as possible. Got onto the bus and scanned through the whopping two chapters trying to remember as many thing as possible.

Despite all these late revision, God never failed to bless me with results that are beyond the effort that was placed into studying for this quiz. I got another 6/10 for this quiz, totaling my total quiz score to 19/30, which means I got 63% for my quiz so far. Very good considering the amount of time spent into studying for the quiz. Estimated that I will need to score a 10/10 for my next and final quiz to push my total score up to a 72.5%.

Haha. Anyway, I got kind of result frenzy and went to calculate my current standing for some of my modules. So yea, heres the estimated results:
Intro To Film - 70%
Contemp Issues - approx A- grade.

Yea. Thank God once again =D

+ AMEN

401th Post & Year 2008

Well, a good new year starting with my 401th posts in this blog. I'm here to do some justice to the blog by kind of posting all the events that I have yet to post and that is still in my memory. Realized that it has really been some time since I last posted something proper.

Anyway, year 2007 is somewhat a year where God really showed his presence and comfort into my life. A year where the ups & downs are somewhat different from the previous years. 2007 marked several milestones in my life, my 601 days as a EastDee brother, my first transfer to another district since I first stepped in to church, the first time I had a shepherd looking over me for more then one camp, taking over the ministry, etc. God never failed to pour out his blessings and grace over my life...

X29 camp was a camp where God open doors for me to speak into the lives of many through what I'm doing in the ministry and me simply being a brother to most of the people around me. God moved in my heart this time round in a more peaceful manner and I didn't come back from camp feeling all pumped up and getting all excited, but more, I left Singapore Sports School with a peaceful assurance that God is always there for me, really, God really showed His faithfulness as I see him work in the lives of many; especially in the hearts of those around me. Camp as usual is chionging time, but really, through these chionging time, I really saw how much the people around me are willing to lend a helping hand, especially in those times where we are really really running out of time. The willingness of the people in the ministry also touched me a lot. And I guess, the team really had a breakthrough in terms of the desire to really seek God and using whatever they are doing as a worship for the Lord.

Camp has gone and Christmas is coming. I guess, I was a littl disappointed with myself and perhaps the heart of people, I am glad that God is working well in my family...


New Year's Day...
I was ramaging through all my post when I kinda got "emotional". ahha. For starters, this is the first new year that I am spending with my family out of the house and it is also the first time I'm not celeberating it with any church people ever since I came in. I could still remember my first countdown where Diqiang piggy back me so that I'm able to watch the performance at Esplanade, haha, my first shepherd...

I came to realize once again how much I have grew in the Lord looking back at all my past 400 posts and how much I have matured as a being.

Somewhat however, I too came to realize how far I have fallen back in terms of my love for people. Though I still say that I do love people, I have came to realize that in a way, my heart's desire to really bring my close ones a step closer to God is no longer there. I remember how I will actually pray to step out of my comfort zone to try and get to know more of my family members better during family gatherings during CNY... Yea...

Yupp, just want to end this post here by thanking all those that have really been with me throughout my this 2 years + of walk with God and really guiding me through and having the patience to wait for me and getting me to grow in the Lord, although many a times, I may hurt most of you guys, you guys never gave up on me. God you never gave up on me. Thanks soo much...


Let 2008 be a year of exponential growth.

+ AMEN

The 1st November Dream

Sometime during service, either during worship or altar call. God reminded me of this dream that we once had....

The few of us who took sometime to really worship and adore the Lord in the midst of all the studying and chionging for Olevels, all the brothers, cramped in a small room in some HDB flat in Tamp, united in wanting to dream big for God...

*Though I may seem that I'm not part of the dream now where I am, I do pray that God will make this dream come to pass, through whatever that I'm doing now for Him.

Love language test

The Five Love Languages

My primary love language is probably
Quality Time
with a secondary love language being
Acts of Service.

Complete set of results

Quality Time:		11
Acts of Service:		9
Words of Affirmation:		5
Receiving Gifts:		3
Physical Touch:		2

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

God's Faithfulness

Herms. i think i posted something like this a while back, but i'm here to post this again. Once again (like usual), God blessed me again with my results. Athough i sort of like repented the last time, I once again failed to study for my quit until i'm on my way to school on the bus. But once again, God never fail me but instead blessed me with a 7/10 for my test. (I sounded as if God is the one marking the test paper x.x)


Anyway, yea. CALLING OUT TO ALL SHEPHERDS OUT THERE! this's a post for you...

You matter a lot to your sheepS, and seriously, although sometimes your sheep may not show it, you actually carry a lot of influence and impact in his life, either directly or indirectly. Bahhs. And to cut the long story short, what i want to say is that many a times, YOUR SHEEP many just only need/ want YOU TO PRAY for HIM during those TIMES of PRAYER. although they might not be around, its really the effort to want to pray for him that could really touch someone.

*ok. this post is not targeted at my shepherds, but yea, i did feel that way once too =D

+ AMEN

God's Work. =)

During prayer before concert prac yesterday, I got this sudden "revelation" when Daniel shared about how what we are doing should really be about God and not flaunting our talents and such. Of which I sort of came to realize this "equation" that God placed in mua heart then.


God (Source) -> Me -> Talents -> Work -> People's Heart -> God /
God (source) -> Me -> Talents -> Work -> God

Using our talents to touch people's heart to worship God, and using our talents to worship God. If you see, our main source is really God and really ultimately the ending point is not on the screen, sound from the speakers, but really, the end result is back at God, at people's heart.
Now this is something different from the world, where the end result is the "screen" which ultimately ends up with money and fame, but in God's kingdom, are money and fame what we are after?
Really cool to see how much people will invest in God's kingdom. I mean look at it. How many out there will actually come down to help support an event for free (media wise). How many will actually not only be willing to come down to support an event for free, but actually aspire to do even better then the industry outside? cool yeah? =D

Blessings!

ok. we had our intro to film quiz today, and thanks to God's blessing and grace, i manage to scrap through, and get a 6/10 for this quiz. Thought it might not be a good score for some, i felt that it was something more that i deserve, reason mainly due to my proscationation, and me only studying on the bus one the way to school. So yup. Thank God for this blessings once again =).

*God, i REPENT. I WILL STUDY EARLIER FROM NOW ONWARDS.

8:10 PM
thank You Lord.

bahh. ok. before i continue on to watching heros (just to note, i've kinda wasted my sunday watching 9 eps), I would like to blog about my thoughts. hurr. ok. i think Heros is nice anyway. =D.

Anyway, I was shitting in the toilet just now and I came to a realization. I feel that I have been kinda pampered through out my schooling life. Even when I was in primary school ( I didn't come from a branded school), I was kinda surrounded by people whose scores are around what I'm getting, and in secondary school itself, I didn't really have much problem with thinking what will happen if i didn't really do well, like how my teacher used to say, since we are in CCHMS, we can't do that bad can we. Sudden realization. Yupp.
*do pray that I will be more sensitive to people around me. kinda feel that I havn't really been sensitive to people around me, yea.

haha. another core or one point less for my t-score. haha. was thinking, why did i choose cchms over all schools? haha. felt that if i had scored that one more point for my t-score, i might have most prob gone to appeal for VS. HURR. yea. think it was kinda a God's plan kind of thing. =D


o. and to end off, i do want to thank God for the blessings he has done in my life. He blessed me twice in terms for my "money" needs just on friday alone. My aunt paid me for some designs I did for her and my grandma blessed me with some money too before leaving for my aunt's place. yea. and another blessing academically was that i managed to get academic excellence for 3 of my modules and managed to also get onto the director's list. really want to thank God for helping me through my 1st sem. it really boasted my confidence considering i was affected by some stuffs recently. Another blessing is that i saw comments that ryan posted about my reflections. Yea. Really want to thank God for everything that he has done in my life =D

*Lord, thank You

Are kids turning to other influences or are parents making them to do so?

Question came into my mind. As more kids are so called turning to "bad influence" (according to CERTAIN parents, bad influence includes: Gangs, Normal Acad/ Tech students (no offense seriously!), Express students (only applicable for parents whom child is in special OR gifted stream), basically, anyone that they deem will bring their child's acad results down the drain. Church included for some parents). I start to wonder, why do kids even start to turn away from "good influence" (PARENTS. wad else) if they are really good influence... are we, kids really turning bad, or are we forced to turn bad?

The question that is always raised is that "why is my child turning bad." or "why is my child mixing with those bad influence?" Sounds familiar? what about this. "I have provided such a conducive environment for them to grow, spent half my life time nuturning them to be someone who will be big when they grow, and yet, they have to turn bad. this has got to be the bad influence of the people that they hang out with".

Common problems with parents. THEY ARE NEVER IN THE WRONG. infact, to them, their collegues and neighbours actually mean more and make more sense then their child. ever wondered if you, as a parent already cant understand your child, what makes your collegue/neighbour who barely speaks to YOUR child for more then ten sentences a year able to understand your child more. wouldn't YOUR child be able to understand HIMSELF/ HERSELF better? good question.

another common problem with parents is that their child is never good enough for them. No matter how many distinctions/ A-s they have in their report will never win what their neighbour/collegue says. "Ok lah. Not very good also wad".



now. what about this. your child finds this group of friends that actually encourage him/ her no matter what kind of results he gets. A group of friends that actually LISTENS to what him/ her has got to say. A group of people that actually CARES for them. (note, caring is not just buying breakfast for them, giving them allowances for the week, or just plain saying "I care for you". it is MORE THEN THAT).




bahh. super random, disorganized post. wadever.

i was actually feeling quite lazy to blog. ahah. but i shall blog anyway.

havn't really been blogging much recently. even if i did, it would just be some random bits and pieces that just fall from my brain while rotting at home. haha.

another random thing before i start, i think my msn's going crazy...

anyway.

was having much of a emotional roller coaster recently (which sorts of explains some of the post). but yup! God is still great. haha. was kinda feeling duper happy after bathing just now. kinda first for quite some time. wee...

had metamorphosis on wed. haha. again, meta was cool and although it is like my dunno how many times having metamorphosis, it really touched me to see the new believers around. haha. kinda brought me back to when i first attended metamorphosis as a new believer. haha. and louis's famous addidas shorts that somehow i will always remember, and how big junwei will explain why there is a metamorphosis. its somewhat like what big boss said on monday during anniversary prac. after seeing so many sessions of events, its like now us to help create the atmosphere for the next generation of people. i mean, this cycle will keep on going kind of thing. haha. i was once in that seat. being touched by the works of the people. and now, its my turn to touch the people with the God inspired and God powered works. really cool.

extended prayer meet was really cool. God's presence was really thick. kinda like what shirley described the filipino's easter service. throw a knife in the air, and it will get stuck there. haha. everyone came in with much anticipation and God presence started to just pour out upon us. Its very much how much we desire to worship that really matters. knowing that it is sometimes hard to be on duty and yet worship God at the same time. but God spoke to me a few services back that hey son, its your heart that matters. How much we want to desire to hear this word from Him. it doesn't matter if we are doing camera, vm, lights, or leading the team or with the rest of the congregation in the auditorium. ITS THE DESIRE for God to speak, for God to minister... God spoke thru the prophesy and yes God, i want to surrender my life to YOU.

Attended hopekids ess on thur night. haha. was really comforting to see the kids coming to know more about God, learning about God's word. though being hyper active kids, they some how just warm up someone's heart. haha. the teaching spoke to me personally. the Spirit of humility and not being proud. it is a teaching that is seriously very basic, and although it is the dunno how many times that i have heard the same kind of teaching, but this time round. it touched me from a different angle. though the teaching was simple, it really allowed me to see what does it mean to have the spirit of humility in the perspetive of a child. the act of being child like in everything that we do. was reading ps Jeff's blog and this really struck me. A kid is like wet cement, it will retain the image of what ever is imprinted on it...

today.

today didn't start off as early as compaired to other days, but it definately didn't really start off well. i woke up just to realise i forgot to do the sermon ppt again. had to finish the ppt before getting out of the house. i think partly due to me wanting to be fast, i overlooked a lot of mistakes in the ppt. really sorry for trying to defend my mistakes. SORRY!. yea.. rushed down to macs for breakfast with the team. haha. ate breakfast and chatted for a while with yongen, zhicai and daryl. was kinda late for morning worship partly due to me being "careless" with mua time management... bahh bahhs bahhh bah. Worship was great. God spoke to me thrice during the worship. The first one was when shuz spoke of God's word about the narrow path.
http://www.donghaeng.net/english/main.htm
can't really remember the verse, but God spoke to me this, about letting go of what i have been keeping on to my hearts, may it be my finance or other things, things that i refuse to let go for God...
the second thing that God spoke to me is really what we are doing right now. the things that we are doing. we, this generation are like the great inventors of the early inventions (eg, light bulb). we will set the foundation "formular" for the next generation of people to build upon, to reach greater glory. us having this round of breakthrough, is like finding the perfect material to produce the light bulb, and with this, the future generation of inventors will be able to build upon this knowledge to bring is up to a greater glory. just how much impact we are having upon the next generation of people.
the third thing that God spoke to me was during the prophesy of the candle. The prophesy was about one candle lighting up another candle. Jesus, being the first one, the first candle that got ignited, the first flame that spread to the rest of the world, the first flame and eventually lead to my candle being lighted up. And as the prophesy went on to say that it doesn't just stop at us having our candle being lighted up, it is also us that will spread the flame to other unlighted candles around us. God showed me just how much what i'm doing with the media team is able to do. as the time of Him coming back is drawing nearer, and the amount of unlighted candle is still so much to go, God placed this ability in us, to make use of what i'm doing, what my team is doing as a mass media team to spread the flame of fire to the other candle. The amazing power that God has entrusted us upon with. and God showed me how much we can do thru mass media... really... it challanged me to do more for the kingdom, so as to widen the range of people that we are impacting...

+ AMEN
