15 April '09

(Isaiah 41:8-10)
But you, O Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
you descendants of Abraham my friend,
I took you from the ends of the earth,

from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, 'You are my servant';
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
So do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

The Easter service will start in another 24++ hours! Hahaha.... So excited for it! May we witness much fruits and miracles, stories of conversions and testimonies in the coming months ahead! Go SP!!!

_______________________________________________________

Hmmm wanna take this time here to affirm and encourage 2 very special individuals, people whom have contributed much to SP during their time in the unit.

Firstly, i affirm you, Joella!

Even though i don't really know you much and not really close to you, but in the past few months we did interact more with one another! I still remember what you asked me during the starting of the year, what are my goals and targets for the following 12 months. I wan to thank you, for bringing me encouragement and assurance during CNY, when i lost my passport and couldn't join my family for reunion dinner. It was a tough time, but you were there to help me out. You also encouraged me during the outreaching period which is much much appreciated! Thank you lots!

I hope that as you enter a new stage in life, you will continue to exercise the spirit of encouragement that is in you, and be a blessing to people in your unit and caregroup as well as in school! May God bless your mission trips, and i pray that the burden for people in the world will always remain in your heart! Let it be the encouragement, the motivation to do your very best for God! Amen! :)



And now i will affirm Randall!

I remembered that when i first entered SP unit, i didn't see you often cos you were serving as a UL. Then, i started asking people around me about what kind of person you are, and i get the same answer from everyone! Everyone told me that you are a loving person who is full of love for people. And i was like, "uh... ok." Hahaha. But as time goes by and when you became my mentor, that's when i found out how loving you are towards the people who are under your care.

Come on, which mentor will meet her mentee 5 TIMES A WEEK? Hahaha.. i don't think anyone else will break that record lor! I really wanna thank you for being with me and supporting me through some of the deepest valleys of my life, and always being available to meet me up when i get into trouble. Even after i left under your mentorage(got this word?), you would still help or offer to help me whenever i needed it. I still remember you helping me to carry the camp stuffs back, send me off when i go back to indo, and meeting me up to give advice and corrections when i make the wrong decisions. All this acts of love expresses your heart of loving, and i hope that you will continue to love people just as how God loves us, and be successful in your missions as you spread the love of God! May God bless you bountifully! Amen! :)

3 April 2009

The crucial period stands closely to us now! April is here, which means EASTER is near!

Really want to thank God for another breakthrough yesterday! Its the 1st time i am doing it myself, and God blessed me with 7 more contacts for our upcoming unit event on Sunday! Praise God!

God guided me to places to do the surveys, from lib lvl 4 to foodcourt 3 and back, and in the places he guided me to there are people who are open and willing to do the surveys.

Its not by my strength, for i am weak, but it is by God's blessing that made it all happen.

Lord, let this be the first step, the little opening of the door into their hearts....

(2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Holy Communion - Caregroup on 2nd April 2009

"i have good news and bad news."

"First the bad news. We have owed God too many debts. Debts that cannot be paid fully back to Him, and we can never give Him what He has given us. Therefore, we are indebted to Him."

"Now the good news. God gave everything to us through grace, and He still love us as we are, even though we sometimes fail Him and fall short of His standard, but His love for us will always stand. What's more, joy is given to us as we serve Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We can't possibly ask for more from any other sources in this world, for He provides and meets our every need."
