I Serve an Awesome, Awesome God

It's past 12, and if you'r wondering why am I not in bed, I'm wondering the same thing too. It's been a really long time since I had a late night. Practically ever since attachments started. Seems like I haven't learnt my lesson after being late so many times and, yes breakouts' another reason.

Thoughts in fragment is keeping me awake. A little bit of this and that, is almost flooding this tiny mind of mine. Yes, I don't really have a big storage drive. Haha, it's not anything bad, just random thoughts. When times on your hand and you get to sit down and start thinking, this happens. At least, to me.

Yes thoughts, good or bad, they all point to one fact, and the one fact only, that I serve a good God, an awesome God. There's no greater truth than this. Though the Earth may shake, and everything else falls apart; though people fail, though things happen out of our limited control, the God I serve never changes, the God I serve remains faithful and awesome to the end of times.

I suppose you should already know by now. Uncle Ronnie, the best greeter I've ever met in VFC went home to be with the Lord today. Even his very last words gave God glory and honour as he testified of God's miracle at prayer meeting:) Amazing, faithful man of God. He ran the race and finished well, very well. Never ceasing to give God praise, never cease to love God's people. Perhaps that explains why God would want Uncle Ronnie home with Him. Whatever happens, everything happens within our awesome God's plans. Thank God for Uncle Ronnie, for the example he's been, and thank God for being so so good.

I Scream: "Party!"

Net outreach is sooo going to be a blast this coming Friday:):) Come on Toa Payoh Net, we're going to make this awesome, together!

Haha, first short and sweeeet post huh? Haha, that's only because my nest is calling me, way past bedtime! Tick tock, tick tock, clock is ticking.

"There is not greater calling
No greater honour
Than to bow and kneel before Your Throne
I'm amazed at Your glory
Embraced by Your mercy
Oh Lord, I live to worship You"

God is amazing, isn't He?
How He chose us, unworthy and underserving.
Yet He came, leaving behind His place of honour,
His majestic crown of glory
To die a shameful death
mocked at,
scoffed at by those of whom He had come for
Innocent as a Lamb,
But was made to die the death of a sinful man
Nailed on the cross,
That I, a sinner, undeserving
could be forgiven
could be set free
could be loved
So amazing, isn't He?

And today I count it an honour, a priviledge to be able to serve You
It's more than an act of duty, or a routine
More than an obligation, or a show
It's my joy, and my honour that I may worship You
So I'm giving You me, nothing less
My hopes and heart desires,
My past and failures,
My dreams and everything that I have left
God, I'm Yours and Yours alone
Because no one else loves me the way You do:)
Now, give me eyes for only You.

So, it's really been sometime since I updated and you probably know the reason- Carmen is having attachments on Boon Lay Island, not anywhere near the civilization you live in. Every morning I have to take a bus to the ferry terminal, a ferry to the airport and then a plane, followed by a cab. Haha, don't ask me if that's true, I'll knock your head and flood your email inbox by tagging you on facebook. Okay, that was really random! Haha.

It's lunch time now, and I've decided to stay back in the office. No lah, I'm not as diligent as you think. I stayed back because I'm starting my thrift lifestyle as of today, munching on biscuits:) And please, definitely not on a diet. Biscuits are high in calories too!

Besides attachment, net outreaches, meetups and services are still happening. It's a must have in my life, or else you could then call me 'no life':D And as always, services and nets are way awesome. :D Just on 27th Feb, it was better than awesome:) All the youth nets across this island had net outreach. TPY net wasn't an exception. Joy did an extremely good job in not just sharing but bringing! We had Wii and XBox 360 going on at Ben's house. There, I played Wii for the first time, so youthful right! HAHAH

It was really an awesome time that the net had together, accompanied by 10 other visitors. Screaming, laughing and trying to grab the controller from Ben Chua. Haha, never play Mario Cart with him around, he hogs it like its a bus:D Okay, lah, I meant it as a joke, don't take it personal! Although we didnt have any salvations, but I still believe in His faithfulness. As Jo said, the seed has been planted:) We just have to trust and pray, and let Him be the One that brings forth the fruit.

To the beloved Region QiGeBaGe nets, all of you did an awesome job:) God has given us the talent to be 'bringers' and we've witness it with our eyes. But my encouragement to you today, is to not stop, worst still bury the talent underground. But instead, draw strength from Him; our eternal well and keep bringing! I still believe we'd be able to fill 2 buses and 1 sector. We just had to take that extra effort, and yay, watch how God can bless you, willing vessels:)

Tell The World

Attachment starts tomorrow. And that begins my long, painful 7-weeks of travelling to Boon Lay everyday routine! Sorry, I know how this is no good to start a post on a negative note. But, I just had to let it out.

In case you haven't heard, I will be heading all the way back to Kwong Min Road (sounds like Malaysia huh?) for attachments this holidays. Not that it's anything bad. Let me clarify, I have nothing against the company, it's awesome:) Great working environment with office-full of wonderful colleagues. The only thing I'm whinning about, is that I'm having no holidays. Now, that's surely something worth the whine right?

Okay, I need to get over this. Haha! I know it isn't going to be that bad. But aiyah, it's something every intern will do when they come face-to-face with attachments. You can't deny it, attachments carry very high opportunity cost.

Just yesterday, the youth team took off for East Timor, Dili. I'm sure many wished they were still around, but at the same time we're all excited that they have gone to claim Timor Leste for God:) I'm sure God will use the 3, Brendan, Gladys and Joanna, to touch an entire generation in that nation. Can't wait for them to return with their testimonies:)

God is great back home, but even greater in the fields. Leaving the comfort of your home and living in a foreign land magnifies God, as it minimizes us and what we can do. It's definitely a phase of living on the edge. More importantly, God meant for none to perish, but for all to have eternal life. And we that have heard, need to go and speak, or else how would they know?

Use me to tell Your story, of Your love and saving grace.
I will go, if You say go; to the Ends of the Earth, to every face.
