woot

Today there was something really WOW that is worth mentioning here!!
Of course, everyday God does miracles for us, but how many of us actually take time to appreciate them?

Anyway, today, when Pastor Joshua was speaking in our chapel, he was saying that there wasn't enough paper for all of us (and we knew because the first time he gave them out there wasn't enough) BUT...after that, we counted and EVERYBODY got a copy!

*hint* remember, Jesus's feeding 5000 people? And there have been various miracles like that too!! God will provide~

I just can't believe it happened to me! God cares for us!! AMEN!

Stand~

Okay~~~
AN UPDATE! XP
Haha...anyways,
What that has been going through my mind this entire week was only of last fridays powerpoint presentation in my yf, which is entitled "Fathers Love Letter" (It's a powerpoint presentation with all of Gods promises and words of comfort, love, etc to us....Many MANY Cried~) and wanna know why????(Other than all the tears and buckets of mucus that was..........shed and secreted? heheh) It's cause, there's one of the slides actually makes you say that 'He provides' (My memory is very bad okay~ And am very bad with bible verses) And over it all, it is cause He is our Father...Well, my first thought was "Yeah, what did He give me?"
And thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn........................
"St John Commander"
"Friends with flaws" (I'm grateful for this too)"
MYF!!!"
"Parents"
"Annoying younger chickens that live under the same roof with me who are my brothers"
"ETC ETC ETC ETC~~~~~~"
And we all know that sports day is coming up very soon right????
So what that has been going on for me know would have to be my platoon and me as the commander~
And next thought was "Everything that God gave or have done is for a reason"
Next: "A reason??? What have I done as a part of reason to be a commander as a Christian????? Have I been fair? Was I ever too harsh? What have I been doing? If my platoon comes up victorious, who am I gonna thank? Me or Him? Have I been putting things into my own hands and forgotten Him in my life just cause I'm so busy with the platoon?????"
The chain was there~ And that's when I noticed, I may have actually never realised Him in my life~
(and imagine while with all that guilt, His promises were going on and on and on on the screen)

Haha~My point is~
As we live on in our SUPER TROOPER ULTRA EXTRA CRAZYLY HECTIC CHAOTICLY MAD daily life now, just remember to always notice who you are in this world...Are you going to be like every other human? Or are you gonna be a Christian and really live your life in His name and in His grace for Him as your Creator? If school life and jawatans actually can stop you from looking at that, what more when we are older? This is only a small and short exercise God is giving us~ What is going to happen when the big one comes? Forget Him totally? ^^

Awesome day

Today i woke up at 5.30am. Guess where i'm going? To KL/PJ SCF convention at MBS in KL!!! Couple of unexpected/funny thing happen today though. Me and my CF ppl toke the train together to go to KL. Then, we brought the tickets we were at the bottom of the stairs when the train had arrived so we were running. The stairs is long and when i reached the top the train's automatic door is about to close so i ran straight to it. But i was too late. The moment i stepped in between it, the doors are closing on me so close that it touched my hand on both sides. I quickly took a step backwards as the doors closed immediately in front of me. I couldn't bear the thought of me being crushed by automatic door and end up in the hospital -_- . So i have to wait for the next train and thankfully enough, i have my other 2 friend to company with. Btw, the next train arrived preety quick in less than a minute :)

When i reach MBS - stands for Methodist Boy's School, i was like whoa. Its such a beautiful old building with such nice environment.There are familiar faces from NSCFL camp and guess what, i met Melodie and Joanna there! Then i also saw some officers from camp which is Runa, Christina, Sieh Jin. Its more like a reunion for campers rather than a convention XP.

The theme for the convention is ''Metamorphosis'' based on Romans 12:2. The main message we get is learn how to be transformed internally in order to impact externally. There is a total of 2 talks throughout the event. The first one is about we are chosen by god to do his will, why us, why do we have to do it and so on like what we learned in camp. The 2nd one is about CF. The purpose of us going to CF is to meet ppl's needs, and to do so it is beyond within closed door like CF community, churches and youth. We need to reach out to other ppl like others in school and so on. Just do what god ask us to and problems on the way doesn't block your path because with god anything is possible. And if we follow what god's word, we will we see the big change performed by miracles of god.

Other than that there are some speakers who gave short messages to us about god's word including Runa and our former group assistant, Yew Seong. And that's all about the whole morning on saturday. I feel tired but it was worth it. =) What bout u guys? Anything to talk about? Blog something up here larh. Wish u guys luck in everything u do. :)

Translations?

Its amazing how God can take everyday things and translate them into stuff unimaginable :P

Like say, in video games, we get lost sometimes without a guide right? And if we don't follow the guide step-by-step we may end up in a dead-end, right?

How about we take this game as life, and the guide our Bible. Sometimes, even though there seems to be a better path, following the 'guide' is always the best and fastest way to get past the finish line. The greatest thing is that our guide is a living Guide. Sheep brought out to the world, guided by a Sheperd. Yet most of the time we think the grass outside is tastier and greener (because we haven't followed the Sheperd back to His Home yet, where there is an endless supply of A-grade fodder :D)

How about the growth of things? I'm planting lettuce in my room now :D And you know the best part? I just sow my seeds, and whatever process the seedlings and plants go through, I'd want to help, and in the end if they become full-grown lettuce, I'd forget all the past tasks I had to do for it! Especially when the lettuce can produce a whole bunch of new seeds.

In a way we are the same with our Father. He sow us on this earth, and He cares for us everyday. Whatever weed we encounter or rock we face, He will clear it up and if we manage to stick with his 'water' (Holy Spirit), in the end we will bloom to become beautifully full-grown delights, not only giving joy to the Sower, but also planting many more seeds :)

P.S., What happened to my Sapphirites? Too busy? (:
