At The Foot Of The Cross

Everything starts from there and ends at the foot of the cross and beyond. Everything in it started from that love that no one can comprehend. Yes, God first loved us before we can even love Him. Fuel Up Camp 2007 was the ultimate climax that I've experienced other than Fuel Camp this March. From the negative perspectives to the positives.

Presenting..... Fuel Up Camp!

Fuel Up Camp Committee!

The leader that I really respect, Jun Lynn.

My Fuel Camp Admin Sidekick, Joanna & Me!
(Now we're in the same group!)

We are the Saudis! Look at our Camel. His name is CaMel!

This time, at Fuel Up camp, I met God. I hear Him. I see Him. Face to face, I encountered Him. I traded my ashes in for His beauty. I wear forgiveness like a crown. I come to kiss His feet of mercy. All these, at the foot of the cross. Before Thursday, I've seen God moved His hand upon certain people in the ministry. I see the faces of His dear children. Those who came, especially someone, whom I known for a long time and she came. Yes, I believe she's healed. Nothing is impossible with Him. The days went by in the camp but what I saw was transformation. Not just them, but me too. God broke my heart for a generation that will rise up to the occasion as we prepare for rain.

Facing the giants, the movie itself, moved my heart and renewed my mind. As I was watching this, I can't help but cry. Tears were held back but they flowed. Session by session, when Shan Yu or I led worship, the intensity was increased and engaging them to the Father, who first loved us. Finally, the finale is at Youth Service when we want to worship God like never before. Yes, we did. Chris and I burst into joy as we see this happen. It's like the best Christmas present you can ever receive. That moment is indescribable.

Brownies anyone?

Before we start..... =)

Lastly, at the foot of the cross, I lay every burden down. At Prayer Ministry thanksgiving session, I poured out the heart of the matter. My life's a testimony, my friend's life and God's love for us individually.

Having a heart to love and live

During prayer yesterday, God's love just swamped me in the same measure of which He gave me understanding. Our God is a God who relates to us in love. Just simply that and nothing else. Coming to earth to live with us and dying on the cross to redeem us is the epitome of His great, unmeasurable and uncontainable love.

As we sing, "indescribable, uncontainable"...do we actually believe it in our hearts? That's one thing that God asked me. I think even if our limited minds just grasp a glimpse of his unmeasurable love, we'll be amazed EVERY DAY! Claim the fullness of life that Jesus has bought for us with His blood, be courageous and trust that God is who He claims to be. LOVE.

I had this vision of a heart with holes and wounds during prayer. And you know when we say heal our broken hearts, we have this image of a whole heart that is no longer "holely". So when I still had a vision of a heart with holes in it and blood just coming out of it, I was asking God whether my vision is Biblical.

He showed me how He created our hearts with holes! Its just so simple! All creation testifies of Him. That the holes in our hearts are meant to allow blood to flow and bring live to the rest of the Body. So when it says to heal our hearts, it also means that the heart is healed! Haha...sorry to sound so simplistic but our God is a simple God! So a healed heart is one that is able to fulfill its function, which is to pump blood for life! God truly wants to give us life and when we receive Jesus Christ as Lord, He gives us the ability to truly live...which is the courage to LOVE and LOVE again each time we are hurt by people (Can't be denied that we live in a hurting world...which is the main reason that Jesus had to come and redeem us with love and forgiveness!)

This is true love, not that we love God but He first loves us. =) With His love flowing through us, the love you give to others will never run dry! If God has touched your heart, pls tag!

Deeper, Wider & Gentle

It's amazing that God speaks all the time. Even now, I keep sensing that His love is deeper, wider and gentle. Deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the seas. Gentle as the breeze and as gentle as the rain flows.

That image just simply flowed. His love simply floods His people. Faith works through love. Everything that has breath needs love.

"I feel like I'm falling, over and over in love with You, it's not just a feeling, but I know that He is real."

Be Blessed!

Christmas Tales

Christmas is coming and last Saturday was Victor's & Michelle's wedding. Time flew fast. I was in Michelle's mission team in 2004. And I was helping Victor in Fuel Camp this year. This year, COOS is having its Christmas Tale for the musical. While that is happening, I would wanna share my Christmas 'Tales'.










Their wedding is one of the most exciting one besides Joshua's & Sharon's wedding last July. The nice dance before the march, the nice wedding programme card which have many significant facts and the nice dinner place with all the pictures we took within our 3 tables! Let the pictures speak and now - daily updates and the Leaders' Advance.











Through the visit at the Leaders' Advance, I realized that God was super duper real. Why? Everything that happened there seemed so surreal. It is part of History Making. What I saw just came true before my eyes literally. God showed me bits and pieces. Even I find it so amusing, serving the most amazing God. God spoke to me since 1st week of December when we were praying for the Advance. Not that He never spoke to me before but this time round, even more vivid and clearer even though my life wasn't that right. He shocked me by the many things that happened. 'Snow', 'Dry seasons' will be removed by the rain that is coming. God is really amazing in every aspect. Truly. Just wanna continue seeking Him.

Anyway, today at service, I felt so ministered by the speaker. Geared up by the fact that God wants to use us more than we want to be used! Preparing to sleep. Gonna be there for prayer@8:30am.

Be Blessed!

Birthday Surprises!

Oh yeah..... it's been a nice weekend and I'm taking this chance to update my blog as I was busy the past few days, receiving surprises from Rach and the rest. I think I'm just overwhelmed and felt so impt suddenly. This is truly my best birthday ever. And maybe first with my dearest girlfriend? =)

Anyway, it's been a blessed year, full of excitement and full of ups & downs. Nevertheless, these people went through it with me. I felt so honoured to have these people with me, especially receiving certain presents which can never be replaced by money. These are the moments I'm always searching for and they will always remain in my heart.








Many presents..... out from their hearts.
Am very blessed! Thanks everyone!

Now, it's revealing my birthday surprises! On Friday, I went out with my family which comprises of my Mum, Sis, Sis's bf, Rach and me. My Dad was busy as usual. Over the Chinese dinner, I enjoyed the usual fellowship and chats we all used to have and I simply love it. Rach was in her nice dress I bought for her but I was the most casually dressed coz I came from a tough day at work. The usual interesting thing was the birthday cake. My sis always love to choose and understands me well enough of the things I love to eat. Duh! If not, she's not my sis right? Anyway, they caught me in surprise coz I never expected a cake out of nowhere.




Next day (Saturday), which is my actual birthday, I had briefing at HP Auditorium. Was the usual meeting which had almost no meaning to many but I attended it. Anyway, after that, I met with Justin and we had our lunch at Esteler77. Had our favourite Happy Soda and some noodles thingy, etc.

What surprised me on that night was after Youth Service, Rach planned it all well that we are going to Sakae @ Marina. I was caught off-guard. LOL! After receiving such a nice gift from Lynn & Joycelin, esp they took so much time to build it up, and of coz receiving it from my meis (lynn + joy), it just encouraged me. Seeing them grow and their relationship in Music Ministry and my relationship with them, all captured in the collage. =) Kor (Gee Yean), on the other hand, brought back a bigger surprise which caught me super off-guard. I received my PSP from Rach which Kor bought on behalf of Rach, a belt, and the extras that came for the PSP. Thanks Rach, Kor and Elaine (Auntie) as some of you know. =P Oh yeah, and thanks to Tina for the shirt which I love so much. I left it @ Sakae and Rach retrieved it today and I'm so happy to see it all over again! And thanks Tina once again for bringing Jane (my other long lost mei) and Priscilla (ex-cell mate) and her Korean friend to my surprise dinner.













On Sunday, after 8:30@Prayer, we went to Rach's place to chill. Initially, it was only a few of us, suddenly, it became a crowd. I thought it was normal since we love to have big groups. Out of a sudden, we have a whole lot of programme, food and everything. This still wasn't any form of surprise. But I was amazed that all these people took so much effort for me. It was as though I was the king. =) I'm so amazed that my friends actually took time off, took their precious time off, just for me. =P Fruit Salad with Cashew nuts, Pizzas, and little did I know..... another bday cake! And it all continued. Ended the day with Aure, Justin, Rach and me @ White Sands for dinner.














All three days, planned by my dearest Rach in a way, were just how much effort and love it took. I felt so loved and amazed by my friends. Each and everyone of them, so unique in their ways. Thanks to those who celebrated with me. It meant a lot. Really.

There's a lot to say but all I wanna say is that I appreciate it a lot and more to come. For those who didn't come, it's okay. I know it can be quite tough to get the whole lot out. Thanks for the wishes anyway. =P

Be Blessed!
