Today, we have our thanksgiving CG at Church :] It was awesome! Even though the past few weeks, have been super super stressed and negative, but the message Brother Bobby shared was so inspiring! :] Even though it's one which i've heard before, it was more like a revelation today! :] Thankfulness is really super important and the key to unlocking the supernatural power of God! :]
Yay~ we even got 2nd for our group performance! :] Even though it was tough having to organise rehearsals for 9 ppl and getting everyone to be enthusiastic about it since it was the first time for many :] At first, was very discouraged and more down.. think didn't really have the strength to stir myself up.. more like not relying on God's strength.
But during the sermon, realised that throughout the holidays, i've really become a Martha and not a Mary! But only through this that i really understood that it's really very easy to slip into the 'Martha' mode especially when things get so busy. And it's easy to believe that we're still sitting at God's feet especially when we're doing everything for God but not with His strength. Or worse still, just serving and going with the momentum because of duty.
Anyway, like what Brother Bobby said, year 2006 is going to be a great year! :] When he shared his own testimony about how his year went, it was only then that i realised why Brother Bobby was a zone supervisor and why he was where he was. :] Totally and utterly amazing! And compared to what he's gone through, my problems and the things that i had to do this year became so small and actually quite easy to deal with. What impacted me the most was that i didn't even notice whether he was going through any crisis because he never fails to remain upbeat and positive, with a smile on his face, still caring about the cellgroup and the zone and continuing as if everything was ok. :]
Let's not just start the year 2006 right but end year 2005 right too! :] Like what Brother Bobby shared today, every problem/trial/crisis we went through this year was and is an opportunity for God to develop our character and stretch our capacities. So even though things may not be looking up now, i believe that from God's point of view :] we've completed His agenda for us this year and some day when we look back, we'll realize that without year 2005, we wouldn't have been able to do the things in the future! :]

Siyan! Hello! :] Very long never hear from you :] How're you?
Today, went to the dentist! :] Initially thought that the dentist was going to extract 4 molars but he put in the metal brace links instead :] Phew! However, the joy is short-lived because he gave me until next week to return for my teeth extraction. The worst thing was when the receptionist (or nurse) told me that the office is only open for teeth extraction in the mornings and afternoons in case there is too much bleeding! Ahh!! My imagination already ran wild, kept wondering if my artery would burst or something.. :P
Anyway, even though haven't touched my homework yet, (touched my chem notes and read at least 3 pages today), really thank God for the sudden blessing of finding a letter that said that I had received a Good Progress Award! :] Yay~ $200 blessing! Thank You God! :] And today, my parents blessed us with a new wardrobe :] haha... actually they pretty much paid for all the new furniture and even helped us to shift our bed when we were out one day. Thank You God for such beautiful parents! :]
We had rehearsals at my house today for the Zone Appreciation dinner at the end of the month :P Quite glad, because it was a good chance for the cellgroup members to really get to know one another more, already, had a breakthrough in my relationship with Bernice and Andy :] Yay.. that's very good. Even though progress seems slow, but really fasting and praying to God for our cellgroup's fellowship to be strengthened!
Anyway, realy really gonna be busy :] Haha.. moving up into gear 4 now. The pace probably won't drop until school starts and then it's study time! Haha.. anyway, this has been the most eventful, tiring, draining and in the end, most rewarding and fruitful end-year holidays yet :] Just found out that it's better to be frustrated at having too many things to do than at having wasted 6 weeks sleeping and watching TV :] Yay, breakthrough finally. Now, have to work on Christmas presents!! O.O

This week, have been trying to finish the book of Daniel and it's really amazing how 'perfect' Daniel was - without blemish, good-looking, filled with wisdom and anointing.. What's more awesome was when the angel, Gabriel told him that the moment Daniel started praying and fasting, the moment, God immediately sent His angel to come to him because he was God's Beloved. WOW...
Totally motivated because it shows that it's possible to be as faithful as Daniel was, who was even able to pray 3 times a day!
Anyway, have resolved to never be a Martha but a Mary, to always have the time to sit at God's feet and listen to Him because our primary calling is to Him, that's the main purpose why Jesus died for us - so that we can have a relationship with Him. So despite all the events and activities during these holidays, by God's grace, I'm going to be faithful to God. And by His grace, I'll be able to do well in my CCA and studies as well :]
Dear Abba Father, Thank you for always being there for me. Please give me the
strength to do Your will and to balance everything whilst still placing You
first in my life. Help me to glorify You and shine like the stars!
In Jesus Name I pray, Amen! :]
