I want to thank God for...
1. Enough ushers to help out to collect offering at the eleventh hour (as not sure why 2 cell-groups did not send help).
2. I understood the sermon preached by Ps. Peter Lui!
3. speaking to the church as a whole and to me on rededicating my service back to Him. To serve without complaining or despise the small things (sometimes we did not say out but in the heart think like this lah...).
4. helping me to understand what does it meant by to forgive others thru CET Class.

humbled by God
Today, Dennis asked me via MSN "how am i?" as he was being prompted by God to pray for me while he was in UK working trip. During class, Swee Mun SMSed me and asked me the same question...i am humbled as it dawn upon me that i could sustain until so long spiritually is by the prayer of the saints! Thank God for reminding me this important aspect of prayer. By this reminder, it simply motivate me to let God work in my life and to make God proud by changing my bad attitudes to good ones. I also thank God that i had a good sharing with Swee Mun concerning my struggles and my lethargicness...she prayed for me over the phone before we hang up. THank GOd and to God be the glory.
(Truly it will be "worth it all when we see Jesus...life's trials will seem so small when we see Christ...")

"Let Your (God) will be done and not my will be done..."
Ps. Jack prayed that for me 2 weeks ago during thursday prayer mtg. (28 Sept 06) he also added that i will bow down and submit to God. Today he prayed for me that there will be "no holding back" for the things of God.
Today i learnt about God's Will (as it what God's will really means) in CET Class "The Lord's Prayer". Today's lesson stretch until 3:45PM but it's very good. I learnt that as a Christian i must learn to think independently and also to learn to handle my emotions so that others could respect me. If i have a yo-yo emotion, to others i am imatured and they will not give me the respect.
Today lessons & preaching is just like God is enfolding His plan and guidance upon my life. Thank You Father God. Hallelujah!

cooking
I have been cooking for the pastoral staff for the past three days...the first day (Thurs) i cooked steam promfret + tom yam soup, the second day (Fri) i cooked bee hoon soup + steam promfret with eggplant topped with shredded crabstick meat and the third day (Sat) i cooked seafood porridge (batang fish + shredded fish cake + squid).
Really thank the Lord for helping me to cook up a yummy dinner and lunch for them. Saw their hardwork in planning for next year events and think of ways on how to equip, train & encourage the members to grow in the Lord, to cultivate an intimate relationship with God.
I really wonder that is God teaching me something...as if i was being asked to cook for one day then to me it's coincidence, but co nsecutively for three days it's like i am learning something. If i am not wrong, God is teaching me to do things more confidently through the cooking lessons...learn to listen to instructions as i may like certain cooking methods doesn't means that all will it. Especially on the second day when pastor told me not to put any oil to steam fish...my instant reaction is "aiyoh! not nice leh...!" i reasoned out with her but in the end i still need to obey & follow instructions. A thought came to me after i reasoned was that, what happen if God wants me to do something ridiculous and i reacted in a way i think i am smarter than God? I apologised to pastor for being rude and told her that i don't have the confident to do what seems so strange to me or something that seems "not the right way". (Well thank the Lord for the short lesson, and guess what, today's preaching by Ps. Pang on "what a waste!" is about giving our lives to God and allow Him to tell us to do the "riddiculous" and He will do the Impossible when we agreed to it). Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

"my child...i will love you with an everlasting love...."
really thank the Lord for His wonderful, gracious Fatherly love. I am not doing well Spiritually.
And because of this, most of the time i am struggling with attitudes problems in my life. I asked God whether can He assured me of His love for me. He did so when Ps. Chia after his preaching, opened the altar for those who wants to be filled by God. (He preached on "Are you thirsty for God?"). I am not sure why others went down to the altar, but myself, i went down is to ask God to teach me how to really have a real relationship with HIM. Sometimes i felt that my relationship with God is like a list of "Do" and "Don't" or "Can" or "Cannot", so pharisical..(dunno how to spell)...it's more to rededicate myself to HIM again. My regional Pastor (Elaine Chua) prayed for me and that's when God told me that HE loved me with an everlasting love, He knows my love for Him, even though I may failed Him, He still loves me. Thank God for answering my prayers and assuring me what He thinks towards me.
