Whoa... that is a long title... Anyway... Today's service really touched me, esp. during the worship...
About my past week... My school lost in the debate competition, my test are totally cashed and my blood pressure during the past week has enough power to drive a car from Singapore to KL... without any fuel, just raw power. My spiritual walk was also rather low, I just could not see God anywhere in my past week... I'm so not myself the past week...
In God's grace,

(no title)
I just realised that Planetshakers banned most of their videos on Youtube... Anyway...
This song hit me straight in the face, esp. the bridge. I dunno... it triggers me that God really loves us and that God can do everything! He can even change our lives with a drastic turn!
Anyway... the past 2 weeks was rather hectic. In the last week of school my class got a pop quiz for Chinese... a very nice "end-of-term" gift... and I was very discouraged by my debate competition on the 7th where my team lost by half-a-mark to Orchid Park Sec... God was very real to me the past week... I'm not sure how to explain it...
That's mainly it... See ya soon.
In God's grace,

k... needed to post again.
And i must say that...well it's been rather ok for the past few weeks i guess
nothing really bad or good has happened.
I guess i still need abit more of God in my life these days, with all the school stress and stuff.
other than that...my studies got a little better i guess
so yup.. not too bad

Doing Fine
It's been a while since I've blogged. Have been rather bogged down with work, worship pracs (put in quite some effort for the Tony Anthony and BB services) and other stuff the past 2 week. When I do get sometime on my hands I'm usually too tired to do much - to the extent that today was the first time I went to the gym in 3 weeks. So when it comes to blogging the inertia is even more superb as you can probably deduce by the un-updated Youth blog.
But yep, despite the tiredness things have been going swell with God. Think the main thing that has encouraged and at the same time discouraged me is inviting the Teban youth for Youth. After some events that happened this year that high-lighted the fragility of life, I opine that I now feel more burdened to evangelize to the people around me than ever before.
Anyway, back to the Teban youths. Don't think I have been so direct and persistent in asking people to come down to church. I felt that I had to be politically correct and there was some unknown fear that hindered me from asking people come down. So when the Tony Anthony service was approaching I was starting to feel a little uneasy about asking the Teban youths. Would they dislike me if I asked them to go down to church? Would they reject me? (Ok, I know that by saying,"No" they aren't rejecting me but God but back then I didn't really like receiving negative replies)
But then I knew that there was Youth CG the coming Saturday and one of the discussion pointers sent in the e-mail was to ask the CG who they would be inviting. I thought to myself,"How can I ask my CG members to invite their friends if I myself don't lead by example?". This compounded with the whole "fragility of life" thing made me want to step out in faith and just ask.
Ok, it's getting late and I need to be at Teban at 7.30am so I shall summarize:
- I wanted to invite the Teban Youths personally
- I had a fever and was dying so I wrote notes to them
- They did not respond but I used that note as a talking pointing
- Other youths who did not get the note were curious why they didn't get it
- My courage began to grow and I asked them boldly
- I was surprised that they were very receptive
- A number said they would come but remained uncontactable
- 3 came (encouraged) the rest pang-seh (slightly discouraged)
- I don't find asking people down to church or talking about God as intimidating once I've tried
- I thank God that He placed me in TG and I believe He has used these Youths to teach me that inviting people to church and sharing your faith isn't that tough
- I'm now more burdened for my own personal friends
- I need to find time to pray, rebuild bridges, share God with these people
