though i am supposed to be sinking deep into my chemistry books for a test tomorrow, there is a sudden aversion within me to lay my fingers on these inanimate dull keyboard. :)
I am supposed to feel a sense of faitgued that should crashed upon me, however, adrenalin has overpowered it.

running the race WITH YOU.
this is not a race, where i have to take painful strides alone, but your presence makes me smile.
Though it might not always be the idealistic stride, i fathom at your faithfulness.
Having fallen many times, your hands hold my nimble movement.
when our eyes meet, i saw love through that eyes.
let me run this race not alone, but with you.

that was random.
But it just came across my hovering mind.
alright, i decided to give chemistry test a go.
apparently, i think i abhor physical chem to the core of my being.

sometimes, i really think i have made a horredous choice in my subject combination.
but oh well, let me not cry over spill milk and make the best out of it!

politics shaped the world, more importantly, we shaped the world.
ANOTHER RANDOM THOUGHT.

lol. hoe!

everyone can be enfeebled in some way or another, if we are not aware of our ebullient surroundings and most importantly what is occuring within oneself. Therefore, none of us should ever contemplate if we are suitable for the title, that i'm perpetually fine and flawless. :)

God never ask us to do anything without His help.
We do not recieve because we choose not too. When was the last time did you cry out to God for HELP? yeah.

God, as they day approaches neaer in a few more hours, i asked of you for your strength and your presence will never depart from me through this entire week. It is going to be a pigovian tax for sure, but i know that you are with me. :)

this sounds extremely platitude. But still, ODAC training will never change. Run, knowledge, ropes, climb and all sorts of cow donkey frog trainings. :) Despite i abhor those knowledge components and everthing else except the physical, i still do enjoy ODAC because of the friends i have made. :) Going through dunk togther, is the best part of ODAC. For ODAC training today, we ran from cj to cck stadium which is extremely decieving, because it is at kranji. I wonder, who was the smart kid that actually locate cck stadium at kranji. It was a 16 km run, but i truly enjoy it! :) I love running! Alright, i better pack my bag and get ready for school. :)

humility.

one short post. :)

God gave us the freedom of choice, thus we can choose what we would like to do. However, you cannot choose the consequences of that very decision. :)

If you were to ask me, what is one thing that i truly enjoy leading the high school students in north, then i will tell you that their faith are extremely contagious. :)

Having led this Yishua group for close to three months now, i must admit that they have taught me to grow in faith and trust in the Lord. They are people who dare to dream big for the Kingdom of God. To them, what is impossible? If God gives them a conviction, they will go all out to do it. One thing that caught my attention awhile ago, when i was ironing my clothes for school in few hours time is this, who says only young people can have such faith in God? Then the holy spirit reminded me of Abraham, he was as old as some donkey, but he had such trusting faith in God. Trusting God does not develop overnight, the only way to grow in my faith with God is through knowing his word and building a strong relationship. In the arms of God, one can dream beyond what his physical ability can instruct him too, and the best deal is, all of the dreams will come alive not only in our hearts but through our very eyes. :) Therefore, the saying that the older you get, your faith becomes will be based on what you can see. I beg to differ. :) Since faith is all about how much i can trust God, which is through knowing him. Then, he doesn't change at all, so that implies even as we grow older, we can still have child like faith. If only you dare to dream, then God will give.

Faith.

I'm looking forward to go back to school for few primarily reasons, firstly i can get to meet all my good friends once again! whee! On top of that, i want to give out ESS invites. Not forgetting, my long 'awaited' run again. lol. RUN.

RUNNING AFTER YOU.
NO TOMMRROW.
NOT ASHAMED.

Beware! What you are about to read, is not done by me. However, it is done by Xue Yong. He searched deeper to the meaning of having the fear of Lord in our lives. :)

What does the fear of the Lord means?

From Proverbs1:7, the fear of the lord is the foundation of our intimacy with God.
To fear God, it is to treasure his commands. This means, it is to incline our ears to his word with total readiness to obey no matter what are the circumstances.
Yet when we lose the fear of the lord we reduce him to our level and subconsciously think we can hide thing from him. Proverbs15:3
Pride and fear of the oppose each other.
When there is pride, we will be deceived is to believe you are right when you are wrong.
To prevent deception, it is found in the fear of the Lord.
When we fear God, we should come to him with a neutral heart, ready to hear his word of instruction and correction.
Remember, idolatry can be in our hearts, it is not limited to calling on a foreign God’s name. A form of idolatry is the reduction of God to a lower image. The root of idolatry is covetousness. Col3:5-6
Covetousness is the desire for gain; it is the state we find ourselves in when we are not contented negatively. Heb13:5
James1:14- We cannot be enticed by something we do not desire.
Those who walk in holy fear will obey when they sensed or don not sense God’s presence.
The Lord is drawn to those who walk in holy fear and empowers them to not only will, but to do his good pleasure.
The fear of the Lord is crucial and produces unconditional obedience in our hearts as well as actions.
It is only through the holy fear that we may experience intimacy.

Below is what i just sent out to my team, and i'm too lazy to type out some convictions.

Hello my beloved team,

Once again, it's another meaningful mail from me. :) If you haven't caught my blog recently, i share mentioned it again before i continue. I seek all of your pardon towards me when at times, i am quite hasty, or not patient. This is an area that i seek to grow in my character in christ! :) So pardon me, when i do get hasty at times, but remind me. :)

I just want to take some time to remind you guys of certain things:
Firstly, i said this many times, and i will say it again!
I do not care if you are a CL, UL, SDL or whatever L, all i am concern about all of you is your walk with God. If our walk with God is not right, forget about growing the group and all. Today, as i was meeting one of my sheep for shpding, something struck me, if my walk with God is not right, why bother about coming to service and care group for the fundamental has been forgotten? God reminded me that, whatever we are doing today and in the long haul, it's FRISTLY ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. :)

May i also remind you that this relationship requires OBEDIENCE. I think you guys heard this from me for a very long time, but i am going to say it again. If our group is not growing, let's check on the quality of our people. Relationship with God, which also breeds to obedience. :) If there is something wrong in our group, it's timely that we should talk to them indivudually that we want to be obedient to God. You see, along my ministry years, i have come to reconcile this truth even deeper today, the group which i led that grows the faster is because they leader choose to walk right with God, and leads his people this way. Therefore, these are few people that i thought about today, whose group grew quickly and with quality though they might not have many skills.
Sherman, Xue Yong, Zheng Kai, Sathya, Joyce, Alexis and Ting Ting. And more.

If you were to ask them, are there any tough people who do not want to respond to serve God, surely there are. But God gave them the people who want too. By any means, i seriously think that no one will remain in hope if they do not want to serve God. I believed that our people want to serve God, but as shepherds we have to guide and lead them. You see, they are not yet fully grown up in God, so we cannot exactly expect them to overcome every area for now. So as shepherds, we have to slowly see them through. It's just like how God will bring us up. Through encouragements, corrections, guiding and all. So if your group is not growing as it should, i urge you that it's time to look into your people walk with God. :)

Btw. just a short update for you guys. I met XY today, and he told me that his confirmation is around 20 for this week service so far. :) Key to their group growth: Leader seeks to grow, and helps his people to grow. He took the initiative to plan and show me. :) Good job, xy! Thanks for being an example to many of us!

Jh, good job for the verses thing! Let's encourage our people to memorize! Alright, some of our group need some shaping up, while others tap on growth. By faith, we want to see 50 people for the ESS. I don't know how, but i know that God will work through all of us! He is our banner! :)

oh yeah, i just got back my horrendous results.
I was extremely _______ by my chem results, esp when i thought i knew how to do the paper. My section C pulled me down ultra badly. I got 8/40 for that mere section, while i got over all 19/30 for each section in A and B. :/ well, i knew that i have done my best with the amount of time i hadm, but i was just puzzled. From a B to an E. Though, it is still a pass, but oh well. The highest in the level was 60 till date. About 3/4 of each class got U's and 1/4 got away with S and above. Well, guess it's time to study but i am not motivated. I mean, my motivation is not because i did badly, rather i just want to do well for God. :)
The rest of my results are bad as well from my POV.
Math- B
Chinese-B
Chemistry-E
Economics-D
Physics- A
If i get a C for GP, then i will have a straight rows of A-E. Nice formation. Afterall, God thank you for seeing me through all these papers. I know you have the best plans, i shall just kick my butt out! :)

alright, it's rapid time to do some posting man before i iron my clothes and toss myself to the comfortable and luxurious bed, surrounded by nothing but wind. lol. :)
hmmm. in a few hours time, my eyes will flutter again, and that will mean that it flutters to a hectic week. However, despite all those meetings after meetings, studying, running and all, God do not let your presence depart from me. :) Thanks! To put oil in the syrup, this week i will be getting back my mid yrs results. I am truly apprehensive about those gobsmacking results. Goodness! God, you are in control! whee.

alright, north c is ready to grow to a greater heights!
we wanna see 50 for christ this coming ESS. Honestly, i do not know how to do it, but i do know that we have a God that will lead! As long, we play our part as team players, the whole team will move forward! No turning back! :) I love high school ministry! It's such a joy to see faith that will ya your mouth go agape.

Jesus was astonished by that namless man faith, what about us today?
ASTOUND JESUS.

hoe.

oh yeah, if my team happens to read this.
Please pardon me as we all grow tgt, i know at times i might be quite hasty and not so patient, give me grace and room to grow! :) I'm not perfect, but i know he is doing his work in me, as you all grace me through! :)

EMBRACE WITH HIS LOVE!

it's time for short and snappy post again.

Just before i indulged myself to the word and one more day by mitch, i decided to make a short post. :) since i don't get to do this often.

Even as i'm writing this post, the song, keep me, is running through the ends of my ears. God, i pray that this will be my constant prayer that ya will always keep me.

Today was a long and exhuasting day, especially the milk run. Surprising, i got 4th in position by the grace of God, but i was dq. For the very simple reason that i was running for my friend who was not there. Running has never seemed so dreadful as compared to the run i had today. Simply because i did not know when will the race ever end, but i just have to gather my mental strength and keep running the race. :)

Alright, in a few hours time, i will be going for our unit care group. Indeed, i'm truly awed by the fact how the group has grown over the span of 8-9 weeks. From a care group, we are not a unit of 20 plus people. We are very convicted to see 100 brothers by end of this year. Just a food for thought for the brothers, don't you feel something is not quite right when you realized that there are more sisters than brothers by many times in your group? I'm not a sexist, but i will not accomodate to the 'fact' that it's normal that sisters group grow faster than brothers. So what if they are harder to be won, but who says it cannot be done? With God, i dare to dream big, and make sure all these dreams come to pass. Just like when i was in FNW, the brothers group alone broke 50! So this time round, God we are trusting you for more, such that it will continue to spur the brothers in the church, to see 100. Brothers, we can surely Grow, for we all have the same God. For my team, let's reap it! This ESS will be our first milestone to 100 brothers! People matter to God.

If all to having Jesus is in our life is ETERNAL LIFE, then we might as well die when we recieved him into our lives, but since we are not, then we have a purpose to complete. Share with others about this love of God. :)

I have a great team of CLS, DMM, SEED, the UNIT! they have been encouraging me with their lives! yeah! BEST TEAM BUT WE WILL BE A DREAM TEAM! :)
