Finally found a 'breather' slot to sneak in a post. Man it's been one hectic weekend, but such an exciting one too!

Fri's BGR discussion at homecell was interesting (though I was the only 'single' on the panel of 5, which consisted of 1 about-to-married couple, and 1 already-married couple.. :P). I, for one, benefitted from hearing the other 2 couples share about how to find the right one, or rather, how you know he/she is the one. I used to think that we each had one "the One", i.e. the Soulmate, the One set aside especially for you. But now, I think God will bring along different people at different points, all which have the potential to be the One, but which will also depend on how much we're willing to work at the relationship and develop it into one that brings Christ into the centre and glorifies Him. If you ask me if I think I'm ready for a relationship right now at 22? I honestly can't say for sure. But I'll handle that step when it comes :)

Sat's youth service was absolutely power. PM shared on "Character" in a followup to the previous week's one by SL, and challenged the youth to make a decision to literally stand up and declare that "I'm willing to take up the cross". I think it's something that all of us have to say daily, not just every Sat or Sun or during a conference. It requires daily surrender, to daily die to self and let Christ arise. To daily decide to take up the Cross and follow Him, to be His fool. No one can ever reach a stage of "having arrived" - everyday requires a new renewal of mind, rededication of heart, and refreshing of spirit.

Sun's dedication service for Synergiz was timely and good, because Rev JS rightfully reminded all that the focus was to be on the Lord of the conference, not on the conference per se. King Hezekiah's "removal of the high places" should remind us that we must never exalt worship itself... Instead, we must exalt the King we worship! Rev JS also challenged us on consecration... And as the pastors went around laying hands on the youth, I believe with all my heart that something changed. It was just different from past altar calls which may have held a similiar call for consecration. In fact, I think everything this year is gonna be a milestone in Christian history, cos everything just carries a different spirit... we're teetering on the brink of breakthrough, and what we do now will count so much for what's ahead. More urgently than before, it's a "now or never". I just pray that none of us will miss it...

Mon's leaders' training was very useful. Ps KT taught on preaching, and I'm glad that some of the youths were asked to do a 'practical' by preaching for 6 mins each on John 15. Learnt quite a bit... But too bad I'm gonna miss out on E & L's preaching this morning lah... Shall try to get my hands on the video or something.

Had class from 8.30am this morning, till 3.30pm. Now waiting to go for the talk by Goldman Sachs. Tomorrow will be going down for an interview with them. Dunno what's gonna be like, but will just commit it to God and keep my options open lah. Never know what may come up :)

Hummm sometimes seems as though there are so many things to be done, in church, in uni, at home... But God has been really good, sustaining me and leading me and giving me His peace. Dunno how I'd gone on without Him. And the word that came to me on Sunday was to "prepare" - prepare for what is to come, by continuing to spend time in the Word (via Derek Prince) and in prayer. In other words, no matter how 'busy' I get, one thing that MUST remain is my time with the Lord, cos what is done in the secret determines the impact in the public.

Come, Holy Spirit, I need You - everyday.

ABOUT ME-
Age:
23
Location:
Lil red dot called Singapore
What this blog is about:
A fodder of conversations -
I like to jump off the human bandwagon, grab a cup of coffee, and take time to talk, to my Papa God, others, and myself (not out loud of course). And it is in these times of quietude where a mess of thought becomes coherent.
5 minutes with me would reveal:
1) I love bread & coffee
2) I snack way too much
3) I love my movies
4) I have a strangely low voice for my look,
the latter often described as 'babyfaced'
5) I can be embarrassingly hyper or strangely subdued
(depends on when you catch me)
One more interesting fact:
The skinny figure featured on the left
was dreamt up and drawn by yours truly.
You can say it's me,
albeit with less hair and meat.
(same round face, though.)
