ah my thanksgiving for year 2007



first and foremost, there are a few major transitions this year!

-getting into the working society and schling @ the same time.

-moving into a new e-grp

-moving out from 34th



okie, this year a few major incidences too! (:

shall begin how my thoughts bring me k...



I thank God for...



His protection! most of those i meet every week should know about the fall i have in May.
ppl that saw and even doctor himself, commented i am very fortunate, for it is less than a cm or 2 to reach my right eye. i call this 'blessing'. for those who didnt know, my right eye is very precious for it is my most powerful eye, thus i have a sypmtom - left eye is perfect eyesight, right eye is 3.25 deg. see, how precise is my Lord that save my right eye! (:



His faithfulness! be it at work or doing ministry work, i thank Him for being there and holding me on to complete the task given to me. starting to work wasnt easy, especially when i made mistakes and feeling low and down, but i recover fast! thanks to His faithfulness. the verses that i always have with me during those times are Heb 13:5b, Pslam 121:1-2, Col 3:23-24.

His blessing! as i looked back, God blessed me richly... with a new grp, He blessed me with a renewed passion in His word, a strengthened faith, and a heart on fire for Him (hearts on fire is my ex-youth grp!). the ppl in the e-grp had been a great support too! learning from one another and to be prayfully remembering each other. each and everyone in the e-grp had blessed me in their ways and truely i appreciated that! *from the bottom of my heart*
people tat God helped me to know better have been a great blessing too! (hmmm too many to name)

the only 2 that i have not thank are ELISA and LITING! haha... you both have been a great blessing since we knew each other. thanks for seeing through my ups and downs, my struggles, my happiness, and of cos for being there physically(or just ur ears) when i needed someone. (yeah eli, ur freq call back from aus) glad to know ppl like you both whom i can call into the wee hours! (: and how we can understand one another even without communicating.. simply much much appreciated! three cheers! multi cheers!!!

the last few days towards end of 07 had been a challenge for me. speaking to ms gan abt my leaving from 34th and sharing with her my passion of service wasnt an easy task for me, i struggled and i prayed. Thank God for the wonderful sharing we had. For the understanding, and for the blessing she gave. it was really peace in my heart when i have finally settled and shared my decision with her.

God's timing is always so perfect. coming back to church after i met ms gan, su-lynn approached me to lead a bs grp. without taking time to consider, i agreed! i felt wonderful to be able to share my faith with ppl. After i made that decision, into the night, fear creeped all over me la! hmmm... thanks to law and cousin though, for the encouragement. you both have been so supporting and ever having that confidence in me... (maybe is just i dun have in myself) (:
but sunday worship and message left a big impact on me. it spoke so real to me, that i nearly broke into tears! but i truely felt God's faithfulness and His promise to be there with me in all circumstances. so now, i am anticipating with excitment. (also cos i know, there are ppl ard helping me! HOR???? *arrowing those i shared this with*) haha...

so far, this should round up my thanksgiving to God this year. i pray for a great yr ahead for all, and for all to experience Him deeper and to taste His wonderful love! (:

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!

Lead Us Lord (Dream Again)
Here we stand
At a crossroads again
Like you said
In time the seasons change

Looking back
We recall the blessing and the pain
But now we turn our hearts toward
What is still to come
We want to dream again

Lead us Lord
Into a life of fruitfulness
Prepare our hearts to risk again
As we trust
Taking simple steps of obedience we know
That you will lead us Lord

this song has been constantly on my mind as i thought of the many thanksgiving i have.

i am not sure if this is the right decision made... anyway i made it.. (:

went mind cafe with the drill comm ppl, there's always so much fun meeting them,
though i was tired and abit reluctant to meet. glad i went (:

and yesterday, yawling replied to my email verbally.
as she announced, as of 1/1/08, i will be taking over her role as a chairman.
fear overwhelmed me when the conversation cont. hmmm... i am still feeling it now though..

mengru said it will be a good learning platform for me to speak/work at national level,
i also thought the experience of working with more and different ppl is good.
to speak at national level, think i will just freak out! oops...
(i also shared with the group that, in fact i am considering other areas of service too, running abit dry in Gb for the past decade i guess, thought of doing something more different. since i made my decision, shall take this 2 yrs as an experience and also to open my eyes to see the areas of service, since i will be officially out of 34th next yr) - where else can i serve?

always love sweet messages by Joey.
thanks for the encouragements and ur assurance of my great potential.. (:

i don't have any great potential, just doing the task given to the best i could.

and last night, i did up my thanksgiving....
gosh so long list!!! if i were to be like lawrence to list the ppl, it will be a really long list!
heh...
but as i recall the major incidents/phrases of this year,
i truely thank God for His protection, His blessing, and His grace.
shall post it later... (: is really a long list!!

funny pics taken during christmas celebrations @ Justin's place..

we decided to take at least 1 decent shot (:

some random pose again... (if u notice, you should be able to see an extrra hand! JS!right on top)

alright, this last photo, suppose to show that "we are lovely" faces...

see, aren't we all adorable? (: erm, as for dan... hmmm.. haha, but nice pose.. (:

so long! (:

Christmas has been a busy period for me usually..
even more so this year, since i started working and with the deadlines to meet.

looking back this year, i looked at it with a smile.
sometimes i really thank God for moulding me the way He did.
it does dawn upon me if naturally i am too cheerful (or simply put it i dont care?),
struggles(esp in work) became rather easy for me to handle.
(maybe like what others say, simple faith)

on the 2nd day of the kaleo camp,
i learn that i cannot take all modules in the last sem,
which means i will drag my studies by half a yr.

honestly, i was bothered initially, (heh, who wont!) haha..
but this didnt cloud my mind though.
the whole day my mind was on the worship that i am going to lead.
so whole day, my heart and my mind were singing! (:
(isn't it wonderful to be singing praises whole day!)

thinking back, all this donest matter to me i guess.
the verse that i have been holding on is Col 3:23-24.

this week, gonna share thanksgiving for e-grp.
so many things to thank God for, even little things like sending a cab when i needed it badly! (:
haven consolidate much.. will do so soon..

this song has been in my mind the very 1st day i started planning for worship...
even till now.. (:

The splendor of a King, Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice

How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all who sing How great, How great
Is our God

Age to age he stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb

How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all who singHow great, How great
Is our God

Name above all names
You are Worthy of all praise
and My heart will sing how great
Is our God
