Is it too late to turn back?
All of a sudden
You find a shackle attached to you
a snare that grips ever so tightly
that it seems impossible to free yourself from
What can be done?

Wahaha... its been a long long time since i last blogged... But anyway....
Firstly, wanna thank the SP unit for my bday celebration! Haha you guys are the best! Just like the previous birthday last year, the love of the people just never seems to stop to amaze me. Really thank you all for the encouragements and affirmations! I never thought i will celebrate a 2nd birthday with you all, cos i already graduated (HAHAHA!), but anyways, continue to shine for God in the campus ya! Its the love that God gave us that enables us to love one another!
And ya paiseh that you guys go home so late.. Sorry sorry...
I didnt know that love can be blind to self
that actions can speak much to people
even when it might seem nothing much to you
it meant much to others
Therefore i shall appreciate
and affirm my brothers and sisters
for what they do might not seem much to them
but for me it meant a lot to me
Praise be to God!
For He has surround me with people of His calling
That He may show His love for me
Through the people whom He loved.
______________________________________________________
I do not acknowledge what i do in love
for what i do in love is not what i do
but rather its Him who is in me who does it
People have said ' I see you grow '
yet i know i have not grown without Him
It is to His full credit and glory
that i have grown in Him
A man can say,
' I will change my life here and there'
yet in time,he will stumble
and fail in his promises
for he tried to change with his will, his own strength
This is the Truth
that true change comes only
Through the transforming power of Christ
A change that will be eternal
a change that will glorify the One
who changed me.
(John 10:10)
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

(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.

"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."

Breakthrough!
Its good to have a breakthrough in your walk with God! Woohooo!!
Recently i discovered more about myself as i commit more time for God. I realise that God has put me through quite a lot of things that i don't really like, or not accustomed to do. But because of the purpose behind the things that i do, i find fulfilment and joy in doing His work. Thank God for putting me through the trials and testings to make me a better servant!
I want to see more consistency in my walk with God and serving in pastoral and ministry sides. Rather than 'a-season christian', i want to see 'a christian for all seasons'! God help me to change! Guard my heart against any distractions or temptations that will lead me astray, keep my footing on the foundation that You've built firm and strong, and help me achieve the targets that i have set with You as the main purpose!
The time for Easter is coming! And we are going to have a special Easter Service on the 12th of April, Sunday at Suntec City Convention! Be prepared and expect greatly for God to do a big big miracle! :)

Vision!
The following is the vision of SP2:
We want to be willing to be used by God,
willing to serve and be available for one another.
We are willing to learn, be humble and teachable,
and submit to the authorities, the church and our leaders.
Amen!
