4月25日 God's hands was upon me..I was travelling back from work and it was raining..
So rain=traffic jam...
Usually when put in this situation, I would keep complaining and sigh-ing all the way home...
But today, for a change...I kept singing song of praise to God ..I sung "God will make a way" ...and as i kept singing repeatedly...the traffic start to flow a bit more smooth...and i was able to reach home not too late...
Praise God!! Well, one lesson I learn is trust God in every situation because God is greater than our problems and He has promised to make us more than conquerors!! Amen. Praise God!
Everything to me, He's more than a story. : Avalon - Everything To Me : .
I grew up in sunday school
This song is simply a song that help me to focus on God and it reminds me of the work of Christ... Thank you, Lord Jesus.. 4月22日 Memories and reflection...It's weekend again.... Time flies..
Many thoughts came through my mind about my whole life...Just pause awhile to reflect back. I have been through a lots of ups and downs, challenges which I though I could never make it. But by God's grace, my life was whole and complete when I found Jesus Christ that is my solid rock, my refuge and strength, and my purpose in life .
I went for my brother's prize-giving day today back in my high school and before I entered into the school. My mind was filled with the memories of my Form 1 days and the 1st day I was in high school... Really miss those high school days now as I reflect back. Miss the friends and the great time we had together..
Friends..
What do I think of friends when it comes to my mind?? Well, I would see it in 3 categories..
Hi-Bye Friends
Mostly are the friends that I guess don't really have common interest with me.. But I would still try to greet them when I meet them..
Good Friends
This category of friends could be close to me at one point of time...but due to our separate life style and different environment...The closeness seem to reach it's minimal limit... But I still treasure these friends and hope to meet up with them and keep the friendship we have...
Close Friends
Most people that falls in this category are either my church friend or my childhood close friend.. These people had been there for me always, caring and loving me for who I am... They really know me inside out.. Thank you for guiding me and just being there to listen and being with me through the times when I was down.. Love you guys..
I would love to add one more category: Best Friend
But at the moment I can't do so,coz to find a close friend is difficult...what more a Best Friend.. But I would love to have one great Best Friend who would share all the happiness, sadness, joy and pain..most importantly can help me grow to be a better person.
I know I may not be the best Friend on earth...but as the bible says "Love your neighbours as yourself" - loving others is not just being jolly with them during the happpy moments..but instead caring for them when they are in the most helpless situation.. being a good listener is also of help, when we do not know what to do or what words to say..
One phrase that caught my attention was "God comfort you to be a good comforter to others, and not being comfortable in your comfort zone."
I know for sure is that I have my Lord Jesus as my Best Friend and I will always treasure His Agape love for me...Thank You, Lord.
"Lord, I wanna thank you for all the friends I have and use me Lord to bless their lives as well. Teach me Lord to be a good friend to others (everyone I come in contact with). Help me to share your love to them. Lord, help me be sensitive to the needs of my friends too. Let me be a somebody's Best Friend. Thank you, Lord. Amen. " - JoNeai's Prayer
4月14日 All Night Prayer Meeting.. Simply AWESOME!!10 pm to 6 pm All Night Prayer Meeting
After the prayer abt 5.30am..I came home and "poofed" (my new word from Jason Khong the Dictionary...haha) .. I was so tired, I slept until 2pm...Had to wake up.. Then prepared some stuff to celebrate Uncle Nicky's bday!!
We had a great time at Nick's place...Great makan (Jane's fried tofu was awesome, the fish from Sabah was great too..yum yum)!! Great fellowship!!
 ~~ Extremely AWESOME & BLESSED Day!! ~~ 4月11日 Get Into GodLast last thursday (29 March)
I went with the GIG team to Kampar.. It was a great experience..And could see how prayer could draw us closer to God.. I was very happy to see some of my friends in Kampar actually came for the worship session.. though i may not know what is going through their minds..But I am constantly praying for their lives that I believe God is working in their lives..
After that, we head to Ipoh for a really late dinner...We had taugeh chicken!!! yum yum.. Before that, I had to drink this herbal drink which didn't taste so bad after all.. The herbal drink smell like 'guai ling gao' (a herbal jelly), but it had a bit of the salt water taste though it is not salty.. Pretty interesting drink...
After treating our stomach so well, we went to Canning Community Centre, where the gals spend the nights there... The guys stayed in at another house just next to the Canning Garden Baptist Church..
At night, I was knocked out ald...Some of the gals were massaging each other coz of a long tiring day.. Jane and I were the earliet to enter dreamland...We were so exhausted...
Friday
Morning:
I woke up refreshed...I did my devotion.. Then went for breakfast.. We had Hakka Mee and Ipoh White coffee..It was good.. Imagine Jane can eat 2 bowls of Hakka Mee, that Hakka mee got to be good mann...hahaha..
After that, we went back to rest.. but a bunch of us went to the market to see, but nothing much there..and so we ended up eating again.. This time we had "yau char kuai" and did some chit chatting... I really had a great time knowing so many people who has the same passion for Christ..
Afternoon:
We rested and then went out at abt 3pm to the food court near the Stadium...We had ABC, rojak, wan tan mee...wow...it was good also...Ipoh is all about food...hahaha... Again, we had a geat time eating...
Evening:
After all the eating, we came back to rest and prepare our hearts to worship... We prayed and seek God's presence to be with us even for the worship practice.. We practiced and then we had the night concert... It was awesome and God's presence just filled the whole place.. We prayed for the CF leaders and Youth leaders.. Ps. Ryan spoke about repairing the altar for God, which also encouraged me to continue to do my best for the youth ministry in my church..though sometimes the situation may seem discouraging, but God is always there to lift our spirits high..and all that we do for Christ will not go in vain...
God's Words said that "Seek Me and you will find Me "...and I was assured that when I seek God in prayers, I will find answers through His Words.
Night:
After the concert and everything...we were all so hungry again! we had our makan in a food court, where i had my 2nd cup of white coffee thoughout the trip..Awesome..haha..
-------------------------------------------------ANOTHER BLESSED DAY------------------------------------------------------
Saturday
Great time seem to pass us by so fast... This trip was even a greater blessing for me on this 3rd day of the trip...
I received the message on mentoring...and just as Ps. Ryan was praying.. The Holy Spirit filled my heart and miraculously I spoke in tongues. Praise God!! Then when he spoke about having a mentor to guide us in our lives...I started to think.. "That's true..Many times we say we live by the Word of GOd..But we tend to forget that we do need people to encourage us in our spritual life, bcoz we have our ups and downs...We are all inter-dependent. No man can live alone.."
Another thing i received is..the importance of God's presence..Without God's presence, everything we do has no meaning and defeats the purpose...
This trip has taught me a lot of things I never knew and probably know but never realise the importance of it.. I really thank God for allowing me to be able to join this team, which God took this opportunity to use His Words to change my life as well.. He sparked the fire in me and I want to keep this passion for me, as He had done everything so that I gain a renewed life through Christ...
