i think im coming down with a flu or something...Retarded phrase for today: 'My nose is stuck'.. (actually i wanted to say i have a blocked nose) LOL
Five things made my day today... (not in order of imptance)
First: i found or rather received my 'Fasting Feasting' Lit text back today finally!!! It has caused me much disturbance when i thought i really lost it... realised my friend accidentally took it back home.. lol.. well, that's a relieve.
Second: Went to church to serve in Cafe! Its awesome to be spending time serving God with all these amazing people in church! oh and we have a new blender! According to Leon, it can really blend the ice until its like SMOOTH...
Third: Ivan randomly called me today! Gave me a shock but well... its an awesome feeling to be connected with my leaders and the people in church in the middle of schooling week! (although the convo is like less than 5 mins) Sometimes, school just provides inertia that i can really do without... but lets focus on what God has blessed me with!
Fourth: Saw jj, fe, wenqi and pastors in church today! Familiar faces, people that i love and who loves me!
Fifth: Looking at the tags on my tagboard!
Its all little things but little things do matter and its these little things that enable me to move on everyday with joy and love!
Its ok, i will not be distracted nor affected... even though people may not agree with my convictions and what i do but one thing i know for sure, i did the right thing. How can i be sure? when i weigh the pros and cons it seems as if i should have gone with the others but even though my mind is debating, my heart is sure. I know i did the right thing because God is there to affirm it. Its a little disappointing to see the reactions of people i thought who shared the same convictions... i should have known... or maybe, my attitude hasn't been nice the past few days either. There is underlying stress and tension almost everywhere and i can feel it... BUT its not everything, my world's not gonna crumble because of this...i am still going to love people no matter how hard it is.
on the bright side, now i know how it feels, my brother must be feeling worse facing this almost everyday... now i will learn to treat him properly when he tells me about it again...
i can't wait for bible study this friday! im gonna go, and my parents are gonna allow me to..somehow.. can't wait for revelations to pour forth and to return home after a day in the world.
Thanks Chloe for that one phrase u told me today:
Please God, Serve Man.

the 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' book is super amazing! Thanks SEOW for lending me! As in the book primarily talks about dating but actually, it gave me loads and loads of revelation on how to love others and what exactly is God's standard of love... my whole perspective on dating and loving others like totally change and it is still changing cuz i have not read finish... only read like one third and im gaining so much revelation about God's love and what He wants us to do. The years of singleness He gives us are blessings, a time to prepare ourselves for the future. And i also learnt that by dating now, its actually not protecting ourselves and others and also their destinies in God. Not like i ever wanted to go dating now, but its just so relevant and its so true that most of us go on dates to fulfill what we want, our needs, our desires, to satisfy our passions and emotions and then claim that 'its love, we cant control it'. However, we never really think about the consequences... No, its not just about sex or whatever, its about robbing people's time with God and instead of pushing them towards, we are drawing them away from the One they should rely most upon. I guess a lot of ppl may not think so or agree but anyway, its not me they have to answer to in the end, its God. Can u imagine one day God tells me that i had drawn people away from Him cuz i wanted to satisfy my own passions, thus stalling their growth or hindering their destinies? I think i will simply break down and crumble.
Love is others-centred, not self-centred... i am trying to love others, to put others above self... really... its not easy but i realised this is what i gain the most satisfaction from and i love loving others... All in all, the book is super amazing, simple yet revelational. thanks again naomi for lending me!

im feeling uber full right now... nvrm... its Chinese New Year, everyone grows fat during this season i hope... shall think about eating lesser next time...
Anyway, this CNY must be the most exciting and surprising CNY i ever had... i went to visit my great grandma and the first thing my mum pointed out to me was the cross hung above the door... my first reaction was maybe its some decoration... then as my parents conversed with my great grandma, i found that she had accepted Christ not too long ago!!! wow, talk about miracles! she's 96 years old... and she looks more fit and more joyful than ever... even fitter than any of my grandmas... hahas... its awesome what God can do...
And then and then we went to my grandma's house and then i think one of my dad's cousin started to talk about how her family went to China to stay for 15 mths and then my dad asked her why she went and she said 'God's Calling.' My ears sort of pricked up and i moved closer to where they sitting.. haha... then they started sharing the gospel and talking about the miracles God did in their lives with my dad! Can u imagine? in the end it was like 5 adults talking to my dad about christianity and asking whether he wanted to accept Christ.. i was like woah... haha... but my dad kept saying he dont noe when the time was right and it was his own prob and all tat but then his cousins kept saying the time is like now and God is just waiting for him to have faith before he will understand more abt the things of God. The verse 'By faith we understand' keeps popping in my mind and im reminded of pastors... haha... i miss pastors! i wanted very much to say smth but i really din noe what to say so i just listened and nod my head at the appropriate time... haha.. i believe one day my entire family will be saved! and my dad's relatives are quite strong christians too! wow...
then my 2nd uncle talked to my grandma and asked whether she wanted to accept Christ too cuz my great grandma did and although he said it is really up to her, my grandma said she wanted! then he asked her whether she was sure and then they crossed their pinkies to confirm... LOL so my dad's aunt will most prob come to talk to my grandma and ask her again cuz after all they from the same generation so most prob can relate better... its amazing la! woah! IM SO AMAZED CAN! GOD IS DOING SOMETHING IN MY FAMILY MANZ! haha...
im still feeling uber full but tml supposed to go meet at Simei at 11.30... so early sia, hope can be on time. yeps, i cant think of what else to say so thats all for now! lol...
