God is everything.

Undying Love. Never Ending Hope.

Watch the video before u start reading this post.
Many people may have watch this video before or they may be very famous by the time i watched and knew about them.
But God has been reminding me again and again how much he love me and how much i shld love the people under my care.
I maybe facing a little rough patch here and there plus my not very good timetable, God is reminding he is my father. He has brought me passed many marathons this is just another one! If a worldly father can do so much as shown in the video (lets not even talk bout a disabled child), how much can God do for us? Lets picture the love the father shown to the son in the video is just 50% of God’s love for us. Imagine 100%? I cant imagine. Too much to imgine ^^! Amazing Fatherly love.
As i watch this video i was asking wats my love rating for my sheep and ppl around me? 1-10. Before i can rate. I rmb actually love and hope comes tgt! See the father love his child and he hope to give his child the best. Even at 66 he run carrying his child going for uncountable marathons and triathlons. He can even confidently say “he is happier then 95% of the people(or children) in the world”. His love and hope in his son had help the son to graduate with a degree and all.
Hope certainly bring people far! One thing i wanna take from the video and my experiences for the past few weeks is that. I really wanna love my sheep more. Goin the extra extra mile for them. Believing in them seeing wat they may be like in future and not wat they are currently. Seeing wat i maybe like in future and not what i am in currently. Seeing the future means giving effort to reach it! The past few weeks teaching… Gonna meditate it day and night haha. I wanna experience the joy of impacting ppl’s life. The joy of changing someone’s life. The joy of my life transformation. I need God more to lead me and to guide me. I need to stay faithful to God as well. Yup thats bout it. Sometimes i think self-reflection rocks!!!
Lastly, im embarking on a timetable of 9am-6pm mon-fri worse i can ever have! Haha. Please pray for me that God will guide me through and im able to manage my live well.

God fearing.

Proverbs 9:10 (New International Version)

¹⁰ “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Gone in moments.

Weeks of plannings. Tons of meetings. Weeks of effort. Tons of hair loss. Hahaha. Lame here. Anw Shepherd’s retreat was really a JOY to behold!!! Yet another MEMORABLE time in Northeast. Great time knowing a few more shepherds in NorthEast better. Enjoyable time fellowshipping tgt as a family of God!

From the committee plannings to the day itself. Everything was pure memorable memories. Though tough at times but all is worth it. Seeing the shepherds enjoying themselves on the day really made my/the committee day! Yup. Hopefully i can compile all the photos and videos i’ve got and make a short video soooon… when my holidays comes which is 2 weeks later haha. Though the retreat has ended, i brought home a pillow! Haha and great memories and better friendships and of course brought home more of God! haha be a righteous shepherd!

Really miss the retreat. It seems like days have gone when its actully one day. Words cant be enough to explain the retreat haha. It was a total “retreat” for me! Casting all my assignments and ministry aside and just come to relax and play for the retreat with ppl which love God. What an undescrible feeling esp what u are stress over ur assignments haha. Now back to reality! Of course being more refreshed! Anw being random. I think i have become really thankful for God recently. The ppl he has blessed in my life and the tough time he had been thru with me recently made me felt so thankful anf grateful to him. I think God is from the housekeeping/backstage ministry or wat haha. He always work at the backstage. Though u cant see him but u can see what he has done. He uses “surprising” circumstances. He uses ppl most least expected. He uses coincidences. He uses friends. He used many things just to show his love for me. Non believers will be like “its just ur friends which blessed u or just coincidence la no God one la.” But with faith and how he has help me to overcome all the emo times and problems i had made me assured of him in my life. Really thankful for God for everything. Though everything in life seems to gone and pass by in moments but great memories with God and its ppl stays in my life forever. :D

Northeast J.O.Y(Jesus, others, yourselves) Shepherd retreat was a success!

See bigger photo?

Lord i’m amazed by you.

I used to make this prayer… “God, its great to hear testimonies. But God, i want my life to be a testimony by itself.”

A simple prayer. A prayer similiar to use me more but phrased differently. Since the prayer i made, i think it was last year February, i’ve been continually amazed by how God has work in my life. My life can nvr be a testimony without God. Disappointing him time after time. But yet he pick me up time after  time! His grace is truly sufficient.

⁸Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. ⁹But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. ¹⁰That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

I rmbed ytd the coreteam was celebrating my ultra belated birthday, the coreteam affirmed me. So i replied to each of them to appreciate them. The appreciation which was really impromtu yet the most sincere appreciation i had was to wenxiong. Even though we dunno each other well and all, something which i see in him is God’s grace! i rmb saying “Though i dunno u well, first time seeing u when u in nec i tot u were some pai kia or wat. But until now, i see how far God has brought you and how God has transform ur life from i dunno what to now a christian which really stand firm in God and love God and wanna serve God really amazed me. These are really things which i will really remember for life to keep my walk with God strong. Thank god for your life.” From an impromtu speech to something sincerely from my heart. Im a person which always remember God’s blessings to keep my walk strong. God’s grace had really help me to grow stronger in him each day. As a person im a joker. As a leader im not domineering nor skillful. As a friend im insufficient. God’s grace in me help me overcome my incompetence and inadequacy. Really. Last night 2 of my sheep stayed over at my house. I really learnt and grew alot as a shepherd and with them as my sheep. I nvr thought that God could give me and help me to have so much love and paitience for his ppl. But he did. My sheep are blessings in my life and evidence of God’s grace. Really hope that im a blessing in my sheep’s lives too! :D

Anw im really touch by how much God can use me when im so undeserving and unworthy. But well its an honor to serve God esp serving him more and more…
