www.eternaljourney.wordpress.com

this blog will still be around though. hahaha (:

GOD BLESS! :D

God is moving! :D

Today I made a new friend! :D
And he is my junior from xinmin! (:

I was really elated when zhenghui told me that there's someone from xinmin coming to church!
One more salvation! :D
I have been longing to see more people in xinmin saved!
I know God is moving right now.
Gonna pray for xinmin even more now! :D

It's really great to see new faces coming to church and getting saved!
Why?
Not because we can convert people, but because it's really great to be able to see them living for a greater purpose!
Because we all know that with Jesus in our lives,
our pass is redeemed, our present has a purpose, and our future is secure!
Amen! (:
Jesus is just better than anything else in the world!
NOTHING can be compared to Him!

It's great to see lives getting changed for the better (:
And no longer living a meaningless life!
And returning into the Heavenly Father's arms!
Great reunion! :D

Till now, I have never regretted making this decision to commit my whole life for Jesus! (:

This journey is going to be awesome!
I love Jesus! :D

Holding on to the goal! (:

I must say today is really great! (:

Service is just as powerful as Saturday!
The presence of God is just super duper strong!

I really want to thank Pastor Lia for preaching the sermon about "unlawful" hunger.
I am just loving more my bible even more now! (:

I never really treasured it so much.
And I always give so much excuses and always so lazy to read the bible.
It just takes so much effort for myself to go and read the bible.
Sometimes I don't understand the verses, and I just don't understand even after reading again and again. And it just gets pretty irritating somehow.
I tried praying. But still, most of the time..I don't really get any revelation..
It all just because of one problem!
HUNGER!

I know the word of God is very important to us. Because it's the word of God that change us!
But I don't treasure it enough.

Today, God just showed me so many things as I open up my heart wholly to read my bible!
I was so excited as I open up my bible today! I know I am going to learn something more about Jesus today! And God is going to reveal to me more things! And I will be able to draw closer to Him! (:

Indeed, He did! (:
I love Jesus! and I want to be like Him!
That's my lifetime goal! :D
And that's God's highest purpose when He created us!

Romans 8:29
For whom He foreknew, He also pre-destined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among man brethen.

Treasuring the presence of God even more!
Treasuring the Word of God even more!
Not taking what I have for granted anymore! (:

Pastors have left to sweden already. So gonna miss them!
I love my pastors too! :D

Oh yeah, today went out with my parents.
My mum went to get a new free hp again. hahaha
The hp super excitng. there's dictionary inside!
both chi-eng and eng-chi! and there's a lot of words! not those lousy kind that my hp had last time. haha (:
And both my parents got a new pair of shoes each!
I din get any because I can share with my mum! (:

It's great to see them so happy when we go out together :D
I love my parents! :D

I just love my life! (:

Thank You God! :D

Never bored in life again!

Oh well, my title speaks everything, my life is just so exciting!
I can't remember myself getting bored in life ever since I came to know God! (:
Seriously, I really don't feel bored!

Once you found a purpose in life, it's just never the same.
And it's not just a purpose, it's a eternal purpose!
I looked back the the very first email i sent to Jieru..this line that I wrote caught my attention. This is what I wrote:
"Actually I haven't really heard from God by myself, then at times I would wonder why is it like that. But I am still waiting for a day when God place a word in my heart, then I can treat it as my life mission!"

Yeah! life mission! :D
After being a Christian for some time, we tend to forget why we are doing all these.
And if that happens, it would be like any other people doing any other thing!

But we all know that's not true because we do what we do is because we love God, and we want to do what He wants us to do! And certainly, if we put God-factor into our studies, into our ministries, into your whole life, everything will be different!

I always tell myself this: I believe God put me in this for a purpose, I will grow from it, and it will touch lives!

Initially, people might stay in church because of the people, the events and all the excitement. It's all ok, but if we come to church with the wrong intention and don't change, we will not last long in this race. And that's why there are cases like people leaving church, leaving God. And it's just so painful to see people leave like that. I can't imagine how much pain God felt when each person leaves Him. But I believe everything is in good control in His hands! (:

I am really glad that, I have grown stronger through all the tough times.
One obstacles after another! I gonna conquer them one by one!
Yeah! (:

"Only You make me happy!" a song that is playing right now on my laptop! (: I think I will put this song on my blog one day. One of my favourite song! heh (:

Oh yeah! Today's service was super powerful! I wasn't able to sit in for service, but I could feel the presence of God SO STRONG from the ops office! Could just felt goosebumps man.

I can't wait for tomorrow's service! (: it's gonna be great! heh!

The walk with God is so exciting! :D

Tomorrow is Daytona Challenge! EXCITING! :D
It's gonna be great! heh!
Arcade in church! COOLNESS (x

Anyway, I feel SO RELIEVED now. FINALLY it's HOLIDAYS! hahahaha!
the long awaited one.
Year 2 Semester 1 is really super crazy.

TODAY IS TEACHERS' DAY! HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY TO ALL THE TEACHERS! (:

Actually I ALMOST forgot that there's teachers' day man. until someone reminded me. hahaha!
Then I was like..oh yah! there's something called teachers' day, how can i forget man!
Went back to xinmin today.
Haven't went back like super long!
It's glad to be able to see all the teachers and friends again! (:
But not many 4E2 ppl around as it was prelims period and everyone is muggin at home! lol
It's always so great to talk to Mrs Song. heh!
I miss the days we had our maths lessons together! (:
All in all, big thanks to all the teachers who had helped me through in my school days!
Come to think of it, I don't go back to my primary sch anymore! haha

Oh yah! some weeks ago..i think last week, i met zhoulaoshi! My primary scho CO instructor!
I always meet her at the exact same spot at the MRT station, so funny. LOL
I was going to church, then in the conversation, I found out she is a Christian too! :D
AWESOME! (X

Everytime I say I am going to church to someone, most of the time I get new discoveries/experiences! (:
The other time, I met this lady on the train asking her way to chinatown.
Then she asked me where I was going, then I said I am going to church.
And she suddenly requested me to pray for her godson when I just met her for a few minutes.
She just poured her whole heart out.
Wonder how she is doing now.
Shall keep her in my prayers! (:

Oh yeah! today also went to Jieru's house to have worship session and bake cakes! hahaha
Everything was great! (:
But I am so blur, I forgot to take my things. I mean my mum's things. =x
Thank God she isn't angry. lol

Alright, need to get myself prepared for an exciting weekend! woohoo~!

FAITH!

Amazed once again

I was just doing QT just now. It was really powerful!
Then after that, I went to check my email and I saw this.
Every single word just spoke to me! Especially the part about rising up! (:
God just reassured me that I am growing my roots, growing stronger everytime even though I don't really see anything yet! :D
God is so powerful lah! It's definitely not coincidential, but planned by God.
Woohoo~ God is cool! :D

Anyway, here's the email! heh!
HERE IT GOES:

KEEP GOING , ENCOURAGE THE ONE YOU CARE FOR.. Don't Give Up.....One day I decided to quit... I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me..."Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. " He said. "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit." He said."Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle." He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots? I would not quit on the bamboo and likewise I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to others." He said. "The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful." "Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned. "Yes."
He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."I left the forest and brought back this story.


I have been struggling a lot in schoolwork and trying hard to get my life in order. I struggle and I struggle. Thoughts of giving up came to my mind, but I never wanted to give up because I know I don't want to. I want to live my best for God. I really want to. But sometimes it's just seem so hard. But today, I know God is telling something, He is bigger than out problems. None of our problems can shake Him off His throne. God knows how to bring us through all our tough times. All we need to do is to do what we can, and trust in Him! (:

For me, it seems quite impossible to complete what I have to do, but I trust in God that He will give me the strength to do it! Yes AMEN! Alright, need to end off here and go back to what I need to do!

WORK HARD TO GLORIFY GOD'S NAME! YAY :D

GOD BLESS! (:

Treasuring the presence of God even more

A lot of things have been happening.
God has showed me a lot of things that makes me treasure His presence even more!

God is never our sugar daddy.
And it really breaks my heart to see people turning away from God just because of worldly things.
It's really not worth it to break the heart of God just like this.
Shall just keep them in prayers.
I believe God will work things out man! (:
FAITH!

I will never take God for granted!
Jesus did something that He did not have to do.
But He still did it because He loves us so much.
Lord, I will love You forever and ever no matter what!
I believe I have gone even stronger everytime I overcome an obstacle.
Thank You! (:
You know what's best for me!

On sunday, I rushed back after service to have dinner with my parents.
After dinner, guess where I ended up at?
A small house that looks like a temple.
I felt quite uneasy initially due to the atmosphere.
Thank God I brought my hp earphones along! (normally I don't!)
Must be God lah! haha (:
As I listen to the Praise and Worship songs, I felt great joy in my heart!
And just started worshipping in my heart (:

Then later, my mum's friend dragged me to a room to fold some incense paper.
So I just helped out. But I continued worshipping the God Almighty!

But out of everything, I am really happy to see how much my parents heart are being softened!
I really believe that one day they will get saved man!
Even though they are at that place, they are there just to be there.
The contrast between my mum's friend, and my parents showed me something.
My parents' hearts are softened, so thoroughly!
My parents don't even bother forcing me to hold joss sticks anymore.
It's my mum's friend who is doing it. And I am glad I rejected with God's wisdom and love (: haha!
I love my parents lah! They are the best! :D
They were worried about my schoolwork and wanted to go back early, but due to some reasons they can't.
Then in the end my mum's friend said it's okay. just need to tell the-duno-what etc..
Then my dad dragged himself in there and do the thing he need to do...

and we went home! YAY
but it was quite late already lah.
but at least no need to go through more things. :D

On monday, celebrated my parents' birthday!
SUCCESS! yay! :D
AE weekend no need to worry so much about going back early already.
AMEN! (:

Just came back from KBOX.
celebrated Premy's birthday! (:
I just feel very happy, even when emo songs are played, i just keep on smilling!
LOL! i guess im very happy that I have Jesus in me and no longer feel so emo anymore! XP
But anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY PREMY! ( but i doubt you will see this anyway. HAHA!)

alright! that's all I have!
God's presence is amazing! I love it!
woohoo~

Zeitgeist of our nation; What defines you

God really never fails to amaze me.

I have a lot of things to share. from last week's sermon to this week's.

Last week pastor shared about the zeitgeist of a nation.
Zeitgeist= spirit of the age!

What is the zeitgeist of singapore?

Singapore wants to increase the population by bringing in foreigners.
Singapore wants to be a nation that can attract people.
Singapore is going through a transformation into a vibrant city.
Singapore is transforming into a liberal & less conservative nation.

As Christians, should we start protesting agains casino, homosexuality, etc?

NO, we are not.
Instead, we should flow with the tide that is coming and not fight against it. Because it will not work that way!

Virtue IS NOT Innocence
Virtue is INNOCENCE TESTED!

Without being exposed to pornography doesn't mean you are virtuous. But being exposed to it, yet you say NO to it. That's virtue!

As singapore is going through all these transformation, we should equip and prepare ourselves.
And we need to have virtue in the zeitgeist of our nation!

Pastor shared about the visions of our church! And it's really great!
1)A Generation who is pure and holy!
2)A Generation who is competent and succesful!
3)A Generation of leaders!
4)A Generation of volunteers!
5)Bible school!
6)A Generation of great and godly families!
7)A generation of missionaries!
8)World class church in a first world nation with first class spiritual atmosphere!

I want to be part of this generation. And I know everyone else can too!
As pastor shared about the visions, I was certainly excited!
But it shall not be a temporary hype that I have.

God gave me one word. That's HARDWORK.
It has been ringing in my mind.
Getting reminded again and again. HARDWORK

I was listening to one of the podcast from CHC and Pst Kong shared abt HARDWORK too!
And I knew, God is trying to tell me something.
Hardwork can change lives!
Sometimes we just get so tired and burn out after working very hard.
And often forget what we are doing all these that we are doing for.
We are doing all the things we are doing because we love God.
And we give our best to God, and not below standard stuff.
God knows if you have put in the hardwork.
It's not important whether others see it or not, but what it matters is that God knows.
That's more than enough.

It's really important to keep our hearts right as we are serving.
It really doesn't matter to me whether I am a leader or not. Or serving in any ministry that I like or don't like.
I know God put me there for a reason.
And I just want to do whatever I can.
I can say, I have certainly learn a lot through all the ministries that I am in.
And there are still new things for me to learn and grow!

I believe as we build up our potential in church, we will shine in the world for the glory of God!
Truthfully, if I din get to know God, I won't even bother about thinking so much about being successful. I would want to go for the easier way, which is a simple life.
But right now, I want to be successful for God! and I am working towards it! (:

Moving on to what pastor has shared this weekend.
I needed this so much. It just spoke into my life.
I was feeling quite bad this morning due to some things that happened.
But no matter how discouraging it may seem, I chose not to get dishearten.
I know I will grow stronger through this! Emotions shall not conquer me. I have conquered them!
All I see now, is great destiny ahead of me. Many more lives that is going to be changed by God!

3 things that defines you!

1.Your Friends!
3 levels of friendship!
1.Downward Level-Influence
2.Peer Level-Socialise (this level is the easiest to be transparent to others)
3.Upward Level-Vulnerable ( giving authority for leaders to speak into our lives)

People normally hang out with people that we are comfortable with.
But do you know something, we will only grow the most if we hang out with people that we are most uncomfortable with? It teaches you to grow! (:
And the friends that one hang out with defines oneself!

When you hang out with people that are bigger than yourself, you will start to adjust yourself to fit in, and that's how you will start to grow! Soon, you will feel comfortable hanging out with greater people like our spiritual leaders!

However, sadly, some people chose to withdraw from people that are bigger than them because they can't stand that discomfort. But don't quit too soon! Like what I mentioned, as you grow, you will no longer will uncomfortable (: That kind of discomfort is good for you! (:

One can't move on to anywhere further if he/she stays in his/her own comfort zone! So we should start stepping out of our comfort zone and do something different!

Only good friends can bring you to your destiny!

2. Your Foes!
Pick the right enemies, for you enemies define you.
What do you fight against everyday?
Your siblings? Your parents? Your friends that's irritating you everyday? the teacher? the discipline master? virtual enemies on computer games?

Your enemies defines the size of your world!
If you are fighting over small little things everyday, your world will remain small.
[This reminds me of my neighbour and how she irritates my parents. And how little things irritate my neighbour too. It breaks my heart to see her like this, because I know they live for a greater cause and not just the corrider conflict. ]
But if you pick bigger enemies, you will grow bigger! ( not really literally in size, but you know it's the inside capacity and character)

I need to start letting go my schoolwork, love it and conquer it! And let it not bother me so much anymore!
Besides that, I know I will grow stronger as I learn to let go of the things that may pull me down. No matter what, nothing is going to stop me from what I am doing!

Fight for the cause of Christ! It's eternal! (:

3)Your Faith
What is your faith? If your faith is in God, and you believe God is the truth, it will be easy for you to turn away all other lies because there's always one truth that you believe in your heart, and you can always turn to it.

And whatever you do, will start to move towards that faith that you have!

Your faith defines your future!

It's getting really late. I got more things to share! but not today i guess (:
