some random thoughts

apologies to those who came to my blog and saw ZERO new entries... sorry... will try to write more often!!! hey.. encourage me with comments or tags k! thanks! anyway... here's just some random thoughts...

wanna thank God for keeping my ah gong healthy. went to his bday celebration last saturday. was a simple buffet and cake... but i like the gathering of extended family. i am glad that most of us managed to attend it... helps to keep the younger generation bonded.

wanna thank God for HT aka red bean and whoever that's not feeling well and yet still join us at ECP. ANGDAO was sick but he braved through the rain storm to meet us at the ECP hawker centre only to be trapped there. all of us are soaking wet and cold like siao lor but i guess that's shared moments! haha...

"do not put the Lord to the test"
what comes into your mind when you read this verse? dun test the Lord...
dun go jump down from building and then ask the Lord to send angels to catch you? dun disturb the gangsters and tell them to get lost for the Lord is with you?
actually i realised that it simply means... that we should not put ourselves in any situations that God has to come in and intervene to save our skins. it means that if we can avoid the situations ourselves, we should try to do it.
or in ellson's lingo
"wa lau. dun purposely do stupid things and then nag God to save you."
of course, we shouldnt go to the extreme and try to be self sufficient to the point that we do not need God. the fact is we do need God... but wat matters are the reasons and situations...

the asicence hair shampoo really works! everyone should try! haha... coupled with the conditioner and treatment! it rocks!!!!!

Age of Empire...
i cant say this game rocks.... but it is really nice.... i had this game like eons ago but never play it. was too absorbed into C&C, starcrafts, warcraft and stuff... actually, its the AOE picture that puts me off... before i even play, i oredi "hated" the game... haha... dun judge a book by its cover... dun judge a game by its picture! haha...

heaven's cheering again!!!

our ah juan mei mei accept* Jesus into her life...
[why accept*? there is a story to it... for more information, ask juan yourself... haha]

God not just save juan... but He taught me something as well... faith... let me share this story with you...

when i got the news that juan is coming for service, i wasnt happy... was stressed... was fearful... it was faithless-ness... i wasnt ready for another wasted opportunity... but during the PnW... it was different... all of the sudden, God reminded me of Chun... i rem that i kept praying for her during the PnW... during the service... [believed others prayed fervently for her also] and tata~ her heart was soften and she accepted Jesus...

Jesus is the same in the past, present and in the future... He is never changing and is everloving... if He can do the same in chun's heart, He can do the same in juan's heart!

and so.. i prayed and prayed... all the way till altar call... but when jasmine was asking the hope members to share the gospel to our non-believing friend... a sense of crippling fear strikes me... i recalled the many times she rejected the offer... i took a little peep at her... i saw her shaking her head when dai spoke to her... *faint* i wan to faint... the fear had taken shape... taken form... she really "said" no again... at that instant... a thought... a stirring in the heart came...

"ignore it... ignore it... just pray... do not be affected.. just pray"

instinctively, i covered my ear and pray... asking God to soften her heart... after the "sinner's prayer", i open my ears and i saw dai and juan hugging...
i was like... hug for wat.... never hug before meh... haha... hug because juan received Christ!!! before i can react... all the sisters are swarming over all... and i do mean SWARMING over her... juan cried... tears of joy came flowing down... wat a sight to behold... :)

i just patted her head and smile... i believe God had patted on mine too...
learnt an impt lesson... just pray and believe... do not let circumstance stop me from praying... no one... absolutely no one can stop us from loving God and no one can stop God from loving us...

love You lots, Abba... thanks for hearing not just my prayer... but many others who had prayed for juan... thanks...
