Do you know?
There are no big sins and small sins in God's eyes. If you kill a person and classify that as a big sin, if you just said a little lie and classify that as a small sin, it's all the same in God's eyes!
In God's eyes, there's no big and small sins, they are all sins. God won't push you aside and tell you to "Get Out!" because you murdered someone and God won't close one eye and tell you "It's okie to lie, don't worry." Because they are all the same to Him!
And often, it's those "small sins" that cause satan to have a foothold in our heart, whether it's made knowingly or unknowingly. Because if you have a normal mind, you won't purposely commit a "big sin" right? Aww... So scary! So BEWARE of "small sins"!
But thank God, He has unconditional love and grace!
Constructive words (Can I build a toy house with it?)
I have been reminded to say constructive words so many times today, by Godpa DingLiang and Junming.
Words have POWER! God creates the world with His words. Ooo... Suddenly, this sentence came alive to me. Sometimes when I speak, I am actually using words which doesn't build up others or myself. And it's really bad.
Constructive words doesn't build a toy house la. It builds up lives! (If you say things which are able to do so.) Alright! I shall learn to speak constructive words from now on! So there's a constructive words section for me to try too. haha! =)

Interestingly, a lot of people are asking me to do surveys about themselves. Identifying 5-6 significant traits of theirs, positive ones.
I also tried it! Please do it if you have the time too. Doesn't require your email address and stuffs. Just your name to let me know who you are. It's fun and easy.
This is the link: http://kevan.org/johari?view=zhumin
Wenqi asked me to do a similar one but this time round, it's to identify 5-6 sigificant weeknesses of yours. It's harder for me to do this compared to spotting siginifant good traits. I think normally I notice the good traits of people rather than weeknesses. It's a good thing! haha. Happy for myself.

It all came tumbling down
Where should I start? Hmm... So many things have been happening.
Lets start from some things that I've been reflecting this week, which I shared in cell tonight.
Thanks Raymond for your sharing, because without your sharing (about having so little money left after your Korea trip), I won't be able to share this.
I had been thinking what's the real reason for me to not go Korea this year. I had always thought that "maybe God doesn't want me to go this year because I only had $300 in my savings, it's not enough even with more sponsors' help." But recently, another thought came into my mind while I was wondering "maybe God wants me to go Korea this year, He has been prompting since the start of the year. Have I been of too little faith to trust that He'll provide me with the money to go? Trusting that my mum will understand why I spent all my savings and leaving none for my NUS expenses just for this trip?" And when I heard Raymond's sharing tonight, I realise how much I had been depending on myself instead of God. Raymond was in the same shoes as me, but he obeyed and went and got back so much more in return.
Before that, I was always having this big mental block, "My situation in my family, especially financially, always obstructs me from doing great things for the Lord. Eg. Going overseas to experience Him and do things for Him." This time round, when many of my church friends went to Korea and other countries, I'm jealous of them. This big invisible but dangerous block came back to me.
However, slowly and steadily, God has been speaking to me. Throwing me into His arms whenever I feel sad about this, reminding me umpteen times that I have all His riches and inheritances because I am a child of God; I am not a poor kid.
On the whole, I want to give thanks because even though I didn't get to go Korea, but God spoke to me.
Woo! Straight after I give thanks about this, I wonder if God is giving me another test. I just checked my gmail and found out that NUS financial aid team has replied after much anticipation. I was so elated to see the word "successful" beside the Application Status! But minutes after I read through the details, I realised that I couldn't apply for the financial aid bursary after all! AH!!! Traumatising! Reason is all because of a Tuition Fee Loan (TFL) which I applied from the bank. I applied for a 50% TFL but the terms and conditions to apply the NUS bursary is to apply a 90% and above TFL. AH! So I can't get the bursary which is so important to me. I will try to ask the NUS financial aid team for help the next working day. This is so frustrating.
Thanks, Chuanyan for praying for me. I really need lots of patience! Straight after I shared in cell that I lack patience, God is moulding me. haha! Yea Man!
The other interesting thing that I've encoutered this week is much more comforting. Some people in my life asked me "What if, just what if, you realise that your God is actually a fake God? There is no God at all, no heaven at all. What will you do?" At that time, I didn't know how to answer. But I came across this song accidentally, and it answered my question. It's a song composed by a youth, not very famous, but his song really touch my heart.

Chrous:
就算最后没有天堂
全都是脑海里的幻想
我还是会去双手把歌唱完
因为自从有了你以后
我生命才有了方向
感谢你将我背负往你扛
Next time when people ask me, I will just sing this song to them. That will be my answer.
God is real and true. There really is a heaven and hell existing.
But if, just if, and if, i realise that there's no heaven at all when I die, I will not regret because He has lead me through so much of my life especially when I was at my lowest pit, gave me direction, comfort and joy. Even if it's just a joke that destiny is trying to play on me, I will never exchange this God for any other thing. Because He has been so real in my life.
And the last thing I've learn is, I can choose to enjoy worshipping the Lord. That's something that I've learn in today's worship.

Surprise song
An unexpected surprise! Hear the song? I found this song by an accident but I fall in love immediately.
I was searching for a song to put in my blog then this is the first song that I came across and I just like it so much. It sounds so familiar but it is the first time I hear it. The lyrics is so meaningful too. It describes God's love on the cavalry aptly too.
However, I don't have any idea what's the title of the song. If anyone knows, plesae do me a flavour by telling me. Thank you so much!
I spent most of the time today doing up the blog. Really exhausted but also satisfied.
Oh ya! I got a new chocolate yesterday! I'm so happy. A chocolate a day, keeps the doctor away!
This is the 74% dark chocolate with almond. Woo. I haven't get my hands on it yet. Waiting for another day to eat it. Have to devour the previous one first.
This one is chao best de! I like this a lot! It's the best that I've ever tasted. It's dark chocolate with crushed almonds and nougats. Fantastic!

Announcing the newborn!
WooO!
My new blog is born on this day! I want to commemorate this day as the Zhumin's-new-blog day! Sounds good ya! haha! 26th July 2007.
The reason why I want to begin a new blog is because I want to revamp my old rusty blogs, take careful note of what God has done in my life so that I can be amazed my his doings when I look back and I want the peeps out there to know that my God is good!
He is a faithful God, who was, is and will always be by my side.
Thank you, God! This blog is for You! Cheers!
