Have you all pasted the T on your bibles?
It's on mine! And I noticed that Nelle, Sarah
had it on theirs as well. Maybe we should make
it a cell trend to paste the T on our bibles =D
Anyway, I'm sure everyone's in love with
From The Inside Out righhhhhhht?
So I know you all want the lyrics righhhhht?
So I decided to just post it to let it minister to
you all las. It's probably one of the most meaningful
worship songs I've heard in recent years.
From The Inside Out - Hillsong United Live
A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
My heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
The cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out
.:Let me be as gold, and precious silver... .:

HEY EVERYONE
my gdness...how long since i have blogged here man???
im so sorry if i have neglected this blog which i have started.
i hope you all will still continue to visit and post about ur lives and anything at all and may we use this tool to gain deeper insight into each other's lives.
no need to be all so long and spiritual kind like sarah's.
just be yourself la (cliche).
anyway, this is my LAST WEEK OF WORK!
the week is passing very slowly tho...
but my main purpose is to talk about the upcoming encounter.
yes my first time as guide, usually im there as extra to help pray etc.
but guide is different leh. its like facilitator.
altho the encounter experience itself is God's part,
but the learning part for the participants is really my responsibility!
and thats a HUGE ONE indeed.
im preparing myself in the midst of all my busyness...
ive just been stormed by a whole lot of schedules..
like i JUST found out im playing for a whole gush of events which are coming pretty soon!!
so im really very overwhelmed.
please pray for me, that i will even treat all these events and service as a joy unto God. because i feel He puts us through things for a purpose.
altho its hard to think that way because i will always start kaobeing first and cursing everyone who has brought this schedule down upon me,
but im learning to commit everything to God.
when we give our lives to Him, He will take it seriously.
thats the reality of truly giving your life to God for me.
that this entire month, its just an influx of meetings, rehearsals, serving etc
thats the reality man.
next time you say "God i give my life to You"
think twice about what it really means.
because God WILL take you seriously one.
i suddenly find myself being forced to grow up.
like all of a sudden i have to teach pre-encounter?
isnt that like something for pastors to do???
preparing bible studies? leading worship??
thats something i would nv have thought of doing myself EVAR.
its really have to kao on God's strength already.
because all these on my own.
i can NEVER do.
and this path He is leading me on, is really one of faith and not sight.
i cannot prepare anything or control anything by my own strength.
im really just blindfolded and just walking while being led on.
something like structured experience haha.
to those going for encounter:
pray for yourself, prepare your hearts.
the best i can do is to help you learn things from your encounter with God.
whether you encounter Him, HOW you encounter Him.
is not just up to God, but up to YOU as well.
how much do you want to be changed?
how much of your heart are you willing to give Him access to?
how hungry are you to meet Him?
thats your own path to take and your choice to make. (hey it rhymes man!)
alright man.
today has been a miserable day.
God give me strength

ahem. long time no post, ever since my rigorous trainings took place. hi all, im back. life's gonna be great when sol1 ends for me cos im getting enough slp for the past 3 months. busy but i like it. sometimes its just too much. church is a place of refuge for me where i can seek rest from my week and find strength to go on for the following week. now that competition and common tests are over, i shld be able to loosen up my schedule.
today during worship i was imagining how my life would be now if i am not a christian. kind of scary thought and that really made me realise how thankful i am to be a christian. if i werent one, i would most prob be slacking sundays away, quarrelling with my parents every now and then, not ending up in SA, having a different kind of company, living each day as it is, aimless in life. initially i thot i couldnt see the transformation in my life but i realised today that i have actually changed quite a lot. as janelle had mentioned, reflection is unnatural. i realised that god speaks to me during songs and not exactly during sermon. it has happened quite a few times and i guess its becos i am not an audio learner so basically listening to sermons does not minister to me much compared to songs, altho i admit im not a good singer. its not how well we sing that matters, but what lies within our heart and god sees that. so, janelle, your #1 hit on the billboard (faithful god) deserves its place becos we all know you sang it from the bottom of your heart. actually i quite like that key cos i cant reach the higher notes. =D
dear people, continue to pray for gerry and her family! we can see that things are turning out better but let us not slack in praying. on the contrary, we shld pray even more and make sure that the enemy dies and not have a chance to revive. i mean, lk u kill an insect you wont break two of its legs and wait for it to crawl nearer to you before you break more of its legs and finally smash it right. the wise thing will be to whack it and drown it in a bottle of baygon and stuff. i know my analogy is weird but as long as you get the idea.. =D also pray for mindy ar! havent really seen her around in church and she's stopped attending sol. SLACKER! whats more, she's down with fever now and i believe that we must not forget to pray for her too. she's got concert coming up so intensive practices are bound to come her way and we shld ask god to strengthen her. we must not forget about those attending encounter next weekend too! pray that it would be a life-changing experience; a milestone in their spiritual walk with god. my life's rather great as of NOW but how it would be even just another second from now, i dunno. perhaps a housefly could fly into my nostril and i choke.. i dunno. not gonna think so far. anw, rmb to pray for sarah mama, even as she transits into her stressful working life as a TEACHER. thats one of the toughest job one can get in singapore. having to juggle among ministry, work, family, etc is indeed not easy for her so we have to include her in our prayer lists! the leader of a cell determines a lot abt the cell so we have to ask god to bless her through. rmb to pray for yourselves too. =)
i totally freaked out seeing this in one of my emails. apparently they were supposed to be CUTE and associated with some friendship stuff. obviously they are IRRELEVANT and senseless. just thought that some people will lk it.

Hello everyone!! Deb here! This is my first time blogging at the cell blog..so yeah.
Since joining the cell, I've came to learn a lot more about the Lord that we worship and love.
During cell retreat at Daniel hall, I learnt that we are actually sinning when we feel pessimistic and worry about stuff. Since we've prayed for comfort and good outcomes, why should we fret? That was the logic.
I felt so guilty for all the times when I've doubted God's promises and words. All my life, I've been worrying about things that never happened. What if I fail english for my 'O' levels? What if it rains later and mommy blames me because I have not brought the clothes in? At that point of time when Sarah talked about trusting Him completely, it dawned on me that I've not done so. Oh, how I've hurt him...
And also the lesson about having a child's faith. Just accepting whatever He gives. Are we able to do that? Am I? I think to a certain extent, I can..but sometimes, I doubt myself..most importantly, I doubt that my prayers will be forgotten.
But really..why should I worry? For one, my prayers have always been answered. Most recently, when I was not selected for a touch rug tournament, I started to worry and began to feel unwanted because I'm not in the first team anymore. Have I not perform well enough? What mistakes have I commited? Unable to concentrate on my work, I prayed for peace and assurance. I prayed for confidence to be restored and that I might somehow be able to play that day.
True enough, I felt calmer and happier after that prayer. The next evening, I received a message by my captain asking me if I was free that day to play. Apparantly, the team needed more players and the coach forgot about me. So there..what reason do I have not to trust Him?
And I've experinced many many miracles..Maybe miracles have always been in my past 16 years, just that I had not took notice of them or acknowlegde them. Now, I give thanks for every prayer answered and every wonderful day given to me.
Life can only get better with Christ in me..
