to form a new habit. And I did it! I managed to write my "365 journal" everyday for the past 21 days. I began to write record more things in it like my thanksgiving & my prayer to God. Hopefully, I will be able to continue for the rest of the year and when I look back, I will see God's faithfulness & goodness throughout my life.
The past 3 weeks have been busy but good. I learnt quite a lot from God's word, ranging from sessions like discipleship to precept's daniel bible study to my own quiet time with the Lord.
A short post... off to write some cards and spend time with God.

So I just wanted to share...
A new blog skin :) Hopefully, I will be blogging more often now.
Recently, I accidently discovered that my favourite stationery shop from Aussie came to Singapore! All the things are so nice... I really wish I could have them all but the stuffs are kind of expensive and I dont really need them. It's a nice place to get some inspiration though.
So I saw a "365 days" book and I thought how nice it would be to record every single day in a year with God. But I am not going to spend $$ to buy a blank book with numbers right... so I just took a note book that I already have and put the numbers on it. haha. And since the cover is so detailed and nice. I didnt do anything much.
Here it is...
Actually, it more of what's on the inside that counts. I initially wanted to start writing on 1 Jan 2010, but I thought why do I need to wait... I should start now and record my thoughts for Christmas.
My prayer is that I will enjoy spending time with God everyday, that I will wake up each morning to His word and to pray to Him. To know, to trust and to follow Him :)

back to blogging?
Oh well... It has been so long, so I thought I would just post something here. I am feeling kind of disappointed (although it is still not that bad) cos many students said they cant come for an upcoming event. They invited their friends and at first their friends wanted to come but like most young people, they change their minds quickly and said no. Sigh... I really wished they could come. But it's all in the Lord's hand :)
Surrendering my whole life to Jesus is tough, though it makes much more sense to surrender to Him than running life on my own. There are times where I just wanted to do what I want... enjoy myself, sleep instead of serving Him. This year I want to work on character building (pastor reminded me of this). I think godliness sums it all up. One thing I thank God for is.... He has helped me to work on my faithfulness. Yes I am still not perfect but I do see growth in this area. I am glad becos it has been something I have been praying about for a long time. To be faithful in the little things that God has given me to do. Next thing I have to work on is diligent and discipline.
Something that I have been thinking about too is prayer... I have decided to work on this too and so I volunteered to be the prayer ic of my fg. I am too sick and tired of prayers like God pls do this and that in my life... I want to think from God's perspective and pray for things that are on His heart, aligning myself to His purpose and work, not my own little selfish wishes and wants.
Yawn... I tired... will try not to abandon this blog... haha... I still need to practise my piano and bahasa -_-"
p/s: I have been scrapping quite a lot recently. Yippie... finally get to clear my stash and make beautiful stuffs for friends... It's not that I have a lot of free time but just use small pockets of time to complete one big task. That's like a major change to my scapping habit and I love it!

God is working
Hello... yes yes... I am still alive, though this blog is pretty much dead. Hee hee. Well, I just thought that I will blog about what has happen in the last few months.
Hmm... so I graduated in Jan, went for a 2 1/2 weeks tour to aussie... love tasmania!! Saw the beautiful Cradle Mountain... and many more wonderful stuff. Serve God full time in YFC and loving it. Saw (& continue to see) God at work, couldn't be more thankful for God's amazing grace & mercy in the ministry. Going for a mission trip in Apr, will have more of such opportunities for missions and cant wait to see what God is doing in other countries :)
Yeah... I will try to blog more often, but really busy recently.. haha

Happy New Year!
It's 2009! Feels a little weird... I think I need to get use to the fact that it's 2009. I spent two full days cleaning my room - clean the walls, shelves, books... so much dusts everywhere. I think it's because my room faces the field. Got myself a new noticeboard :) And I made a record of all the books that I have. Finally, something that I wanted to do for a long time. Guess how many books I have?
In total, including all the different bible translations....
.
.
.
.
.
138! Many the next thing I should count is how many books I have actually read? Haha..
Ok, I havent got the time to reflect about 2008 and plan for 2009. Think I will do so NOW. I dont want to waste another precious year that God has given to me (that is if I get to live till the end of 2009). Tata... Will be back later!

I am back!
After some sort of blog break, I am back to blogging (I guess). Hee. God is truly amazing. Just some time back I was praying for 'JOY' and recently, I do experience much more joy than before. How did it happen? I am not very sure exactly how (as in the mechanism). Situations stayed the same, but I am definitely more joyful.
JOY comes from God and through knowing Him better and serving Him :)
Today I learnt that:
Everyone serve God but not everyone serve God well. And to serve Him well, the key is discipline.
I am so glad I can finally rest tml. No duties or whatsoever. Just me and God, sitting and listening to Him.
Christmas was great! I am so thankful for the many people who heard the gospel. It is so exciting to be part of God's work, isnt it (though it can be physically tiring)? Overall, I enjoyed my Christmas. The enjoyment comes from seeing everyone serving God together. Thanks for all the hard work put in to let 'Christmas be truly CHRISTmas again'.
Camp Praxis was good too. No photos but you can check out the syfc gallery here. Going for both camp is physically draining. One of the things I realised from the camp is to keep myself fit so that I can serve God well esp in youth ministry.
New year is coming! Another exciting year of loving, serving and growing deeper in God. The Christian life IS so wonderful.

Busy Christmas
I think I have never been so busy during Christmas! Not because I have been busy eating and feasting or shopping, but because of serving God. Dont get me wrong I am not complaining. Maybe this year, God is teaching me to live a selfless Christmas. I thank God that He has seen me through this super busy period (with almost four projects on hand, five if you include my thesis). It was up to my neck and coupled with the fact that I am sick makes me feel tired easily. Nevertheless, it has been great how things turned out so far... But... I am still looking forward to a break! Hope it will come soon :)

*phew*
Now that the thesis is almost done, I can have a little breather. Nov and Dec will be very busy months for me... other than finishing up my thesis, I have a few major events coming up. I am really glad/happy that I can serve God with whatever I have. It is really exciting to see God work! I've just finished a juniors camp and will be going for 2 more camps. I have to admit that I am old liao~ Get tired easily... But it's ok... Just do my best.
The sermon today was good. Be still and know... that God is God :) What do I have to be afraid?? So I am really glad because I just have to love & serve Him... He will take care of the rest. I am excited about the pulpit's series next year. As a church, we will be going thru the different seasons in a christian walk and to look at these thru the biblical characters and psalms. I looooove the psalms! It is like a voice to my heart's cry.
I am also reading the book "Growing deep with God" by Edmund Chan. Ooooohhhh.... it's really a good book. It has transform how I look at prayer. I cant wait to have a deeper relationship with God.... of course, above all else, prayer and reading His word are of utmost importance.
I pray that you are growing strong in your walk with God too. I can assure you that it will be an exciting journey :p
