GOD IS A FAITHFUL GOD


Today I want to thank God for His precious word to me. He spoke so clearly. I attended CHC service on Saturday(after service learning camp) and probably that would be the last visit for me as I will be settling down in World Revival Prayer Fellowship. So definitely, will miss the mega church feel. (Anyway, really thank God for moving so powerfully in CHC and may the Lord continue to enlarge their land so that more will come to know God. ) ____________________________________________________________________
Back track a little here, during Service Learning camp I fought very hard to open my eyes, I was really half dead. Slept at 2a.m. and woke up at 6 a.m. ( the first time waking up so early for the month of Jan) So, I was a little worried that I might just fall asleep for my last visit in there. We rushed down from camp but still was late and we missed the worship at the beginning. I felt sad because I looked forward to worship alot. But the Holy spirit assured me that God will definitely save the best for me. So, that kept me anticipating.
_______________________________________________________________
To no dismay, after Ps Kong shared about the current situation in Haiti(we gave our prayer and donation to help the needy) , 2 Indonesian pastors lead us in worship!!( It was totally cool! Another worship session after an interval of 30 minutes.) I never imagined that. It was as if God created another worship session for me. _________________________________________________________________
During worship, God really touched my heart deeply. It was like those moment I had with Jesus when I attended tribe camp/ encounter camp in the previous years. It was very supernatural, the presence was God was really strong. I feel so easy to flow into worship without being very self conscious and was fully engaged too. (you could really hear the others joining in heaven songs.) ______________________________________________________________
God spoke to me when I sang the 3rd song, the start of the lyrics was just simply, " Lord I will trust in you, my heart will trust in you." And, as I started singing it softly, I felt my heart began to open up more and at the same time God was filling up my empty cup. That feeling was indescribable. I don't really know what choice of word to use to paint my exact feelings for that moment. All I can say is that God was assuring me to trust him and God was giving ears to my song to him. As I proclaimed that my heart will trust in Him, hot tears begins to well up in my eyes. I was really very thankful to God that He is a good and awesome God, though at times I was in doubts, God remains faithful. Inwardly, my spirit man was being renewed and was very refreshed. _________________________________________________________________
During sermon time( I was still awake.Thank God!),Dr. Niko Njotorahardjo was invited to gave the word of God to the church. One thing I took away from the sermon and heard God saying to me was that God's eyes in constantly watching and handholding us. He is a God that never sleeps nor slumber and never tired of hearing our prayers. How assuring to know that I have such a privilege to have a relationship with this God.

After service, pastor Jo came up to me to tell me that ,during worship, the 3rd song, God spoke to her 2 times that that I am in distress and He wants me to know that I have a big God to trust in. When in trouble, I do not need to fret, just go to God, trust and just believe He is able. So when pastor shared God's word for me, I can't help but just allowed my tears to roll again.
I was really blessed by God to hear his voice so clearly and even sending people to convey His message for me. ( it's like confirm and confirm plus many chops of confirmation )As a result, my faith in God was strengthen and I am much more assured that God is a faithful God who never sleeps nor slumber. He watches my coming in and my going out. He always considers what is good for me. He meticulously plans out in details my pilgrimage on earth. God has no plan B. He only has one plan and that is called the best plan.Thank you Jesus!!

Mommy and Daddy

Today, I want to thank God for allowing me to have time alone to spend with my mommy and daddy alone. Yesterday, I had dinner with them ( not including my sister and brother because they were both at home doing last minute work for next day school. Basically, they pang seh la.) at Hougang mall. It was really just a simple dinner and I was the only one eating because both of them had eaten. I felt a little awkward because I seldom have time alone with them. But I chance upon this opportunity to talk to my mommy and help my dad in some calculation stuff. Though it was just a short session before I got home, I really enjoyed my time with them. I also want to thank God for blessing me with such good parents even though they have their weird side which I can't stand. Once again,thank you mommy and daddy!

Dear Cheryl Tan Qi Wei

Today, I want to thank God for Cheryl Tan Qi Wei. I got to know her in church back then. same tribe but different cell group.Though we are not very close, still I'm able to relate to her as like an elder spiritual sister.She is always a bubbly and cheerful girl who never fail to encourage or cheer me up when I feel sad or worried about my studies ( That was during A levels period). ________________________________________________

After A levels, I always looked forward to see her in NTU. I was even thinking that we could work together in UNI Y when I get in. Probably reach out to people together, have NTU cell group and the list goes on. But, about one week ago, she went home with the Lord. I was sick so couldn't make it to her memorial service.

_______________________________________________________

Yesterday, pastor sl created a memorial service for those who need a closure. I went with other 6 girls, chui mei, Fion, Mary, Joey and Sharon. I was glad that I went and had a proper closure, a proper outlet for my emotions. FYI : She is at Blk Daffodil level 1 Room 11 622 . From the sharing by the others sister in Christ, I learnt that Cheryl has this very sweet spirit in her and she was blessed by God with melodious vocals. I'm really thankful to God for planting her in my life, though it's a short stint on earth, but I rejoice in the fact that we have the same citizenship to heaven!

The purpose

Dear all, the purpose of this blog is for me to have an opportunity to share my thanksgiving as often as everyday to weekly. In 1 Thess 5 : 18 says that we should give thanks in all circumstances because that is God's will for us. I have been taught to give thanks in everything and it has became a habit for me to constantly looking out for God in my day.So yesterday while I was worshipping God at world revivial prayer fellowship, God impressed upon my heart to create this. So this is the reason why I started a new link from my blog. May this blog be an encouragement to those who needs it and may be it a channel for me to be a witness for Christ. God bless!
