Lessons Learnt

Last Friday, I shared a testimony of how the Lord rescued me and opened an alternative door for me when I did not do well in a particular module in NUS the last semester.

This testimony was long overdue. Supposed to share it before I graduated last May in 2009. However, I only decided to share it today because I thought we were having a University CG meeting, so sharing something related to studies and uni would be great. At first I was hesitant, because it did not sound glamorous at all.

However, after sharing the testimony, I felt that the people really thanked God and praised Him. Because the testimony really showed how GREAT and GOOD God is, and I really have NOTHING to boast about myself.

Thereafter, I heard Him telling me in a still small voice, t
hat, truly it is not the big things that would wow people. It is the things that are deemed insignificant in people's eyes, that would bring glory to His name. This reminds me of a bible verse that God would often use the simple to shame the wise, in 1 Corinthians 1: 27-29:

But
God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. [28] He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things — and the things that are not — to nullify the things that are, [29] so that no one may boast before him.

Hence, next time whenever I share a testimony, I pray that it will be always about how AWESOME Jesus is, and it is because of his GREATNESS, GOODNESS, MERCY and GRACE that I can share a testimony. It is NOT about how great I am, or what I have done to deserve something. Thank you JESUS. I do not want to have anything that I can boast of myself. Bring me to a place where I can acknowledge ALL your GOODNESS and GREATNESS, MERCY & GRACE in my life, that without YOU, I will be nothing. THANK U LORD.

CK Family

I am very thankful to be part of the CK Family.

I really am. I am really blessed. So blessed that I can't contain it that I gotta give it away!!

Thank you Kee Liang, thank you Pastor, thank you every one in the CK zone who has made the whole family so CK.. hehe..

Like what Hui Juan said on Facebook, that she will never trade anything for the CHC experience.. I totally agree, and I pray I will not trade anything for the church and CK experience as well.....

Being part of a family is truly life's greatest blessing. Besides my natural family, I am glad someone took me in to be part of the CK family.. To have great leaders who are always so passionate about Christ and for His house. To constantly fight at the forefront for the better of the lives of many people in our church, and our zone.

Thank you Pastor CK, Kee Liang, and CK Zone. I am very proud to be part of this family :)

My Very Good Friend Is Attached! :D

Congratulations Darice!! :D

Am so happy for her when I saw her photos with Ben on facebook!! They look so compatible!! Really! haha.

Darice & Ben, may 2010 be the best year yet for the both of you!! :D

Darice was the helper who took care of me as a young Christian when I first came to City Harvest Church. I remembered that time I was in JC2, and was really bad at Math. I did not like Math at all because I was inconsistent in doing my tutorials, and did not really figured out what the lecturer was saying during class.

However, I remembered one phone call I had with Miss Darice on a Saturday morning that changed my perspective about Math, and realised that it is actually an interesting subject that made sense!!

Darice taught me about Functions in a one-hour long phone call during which I was still lying on my bed. And there and then she described to me the different graphs of f(x), etc etc and why they were drawn in those manner.

In a simple phone call, I realised that she was a great teacher and had tremendous patience. I was touched indeed.

There were days when I could call Darice and just chat about things. And we would talk about Jesus and about our futures till late at night. Looking back, I really miss those days. Darice is a person who is so full of love, and every time when I talk to her, I would feel very at ease.

Thank you Darice for making a great impact in my life. As I looked through your blog just now, memories of yesteryear began to fill my mind!! :)

Jesus has already fulfilled your wish about having a boyfriend who loves God and loves CHC wholeheartedly, so you can remove that item on your wishlist now!! :D

Looking forward to the day when you two will be blissfully married :D

GOD BLESS BEN & DARICE :D

Thoughts About 2009

How time flies! We had an awesome service in church today. Really loved the song performed by Annabel, Alison & Sandy! It was an awesome trio and they were SO GOOD! Seriously. Haha. Loved the fact that they performed a guy's song and added a special touch to it. Really fantastic.

2009 came by and passed. But I am really thankful to Jesus that this is the year I have grown in my self-esteem. I have become a much more confident person. I pray that in 2010, I will become a much more confident person, like you know.. going on to perfection. haha. I pray that my sense of self will be rooted in Christ Jesus alone.

Just wanna take this opportunity to thank Pastor for all the teachings on grace that he has taught us. That we are of Jesus' tribe. That we are all loved and accepted by God, that we do not need to do more things to earn his favour or to impress Him. Truly salvation is by faith and not works. Thank you linying for telling me this a long time ago.

In 2010, I also pray that I can forge strong godly friendships in church, so that life as a Christian will always be meaningful.

Thank you Pastor & Kee Liang for ever believing in me. Thank you the senior leaders like Ruxin who always give me opportunities to perform onstage. Haha. Thank you W357 & W476 with all your friendship, encouragement, cards, JOKES and sharings. I used to not enjoy certain times with you.

However, after hearing JJ's testimony today, I am convicted that we should all cherish our friends and family members who are still around. If not, it will be too late to let them know how much you love them. Hence, I just wanna say, I LOVE YOU ALL. Thank you so much for all your imprints in my life in 2009 :D 2010 will be the BEST YEAR YET TO COME! AMEN! :D

Sing Sing Sing

I have been working for almost 4 months now.

working life in a french bank is nice at first, because the view from my office is really NICE, can see the seas at the Marina area and the 3 blocks of casinos coming up.

i keep telling myself, one day, i'll fly away, to the vast oceans, to visit the world... HAHA.

there are many french/swiss expats in my office. but seldom have a chance to lunch with them cuz they seem like busy ppl..

i hope to lunch with abby, adora and ym more often, but sometimes they are just so busy till we can't even meet for lunch, even though our workplace is soo near one another...

hmms. my manager is really good, she loves to buy things for me to eat. otherwise in terms of career advancement, i dunno if i will really stay long in the present company. i love to sing, dance, act and perform. the things that i do now in a french bank are totally not singing, dancing, acting and performing.. HAHA.

have you ever wondered how does a sycamore tree look like?

wow... it has been soo long since i last updated my blog..

was reading my previous entries and realised that i was really childish in the past (like earlier this yr.. HAHA!)

hmmm.. felt a bit funny to read back-dated entries which i wrote..

anyway, i attended an Overnight Prayer Mtg in church yesterday.. and yes, Pst shared a great sermon from the book of Ruth..

and the gist of it is this - that God is ever-ready to bless, ever-ready to give. The problem is whether we are READY to receive!! :D

Wow.. Yes, God, I AM EVER-READY TO RECEIVE!

I AM EVER READY TO RECEIVE MY DOUBLE PORTION FROM YOU! :D

Thank you Abba Father.
