How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You!

We experienced 5 converts and 6 re-dedications! Wow! GOd is indeed moving in our midst! To be in the midst of all this is so so exciting! I am truly amazed at what my God can do!

Honestly, I really couldn’t believe that He could do it. I sort of stood between yes and no. It wasn’t really ‘yes’ or ‘no’ completely. I just felt unsure. Didn’t know why. Like God wasn’t big enough to save them. Maybe that was because I kept looking at myself and what I could do. Well, God proved me wrong. He showed me through all this that all I had to do was carry His burden in prayer and speak as He desires, the changing of hearts is His job!

Well, I will press on!  I will not give up trying to reach out! Today, Rev. Dr. Abel Thomas spoke about passing the test on God’s judgement day. I really want to be ready. Felt I should not slack so much anymore; that I would be willing to lay down my desires for His. Well, so wide in scope. There is really a lot to do. But for now, I feel He wants me to be really focused on Him and His presence. To really desire for Him and Him alone.

It’s true Lord!! How can we see You move and still remain unmoved in our hearts!

Intense Intercession!

Yet another entry in my spartan blog.

Anyway, it has been a slack week in army. Didn't really accomplish much throughout the entire week. However, I discovered this new puzzle called "Sodoku". I think that's how it's spelt. Anyway, this puzzle has kept me hooked on it. I can't seem to let it go till I manage to break the puzzle. I overlooked one of the rules the first time I did it. The second time, I almost lost my head. Not because it was tough, I made a big mistake in the very beginning which led to my downfall.. Painstaking effort all gone down the drain.

Just finished supper at Geylang - ate beef hor fun and you tiao with tau hway. Good stuff man. Before that, we (Tan bros and me) gathered at N.E.L. aka Daryl's place to pray for service tomorrow. Boy, it sure was an exciting time. Felt GOd telling me that my heart was really hardened. Anyway, the word for us - one of it at least - was to perservere. God showed me a picture of a bowl. That as we pray, the bowl will break and God's rain wil fall. Gerald also saw the a picture similar to this. We prayed. It was intercession and travail alright. However, we all felt that we weren't hitting the heavens. It was as if there was a ceiling over our prayers. Guess we just have to perservere!

Anyway, in such moments of sensitivity to His leading, I told myself that in the week to come, I would really seek His face and not anything else. God has been challenging me to really walk with Him.

It is going to be exciting! Even though most of my friend aren't coming, I will press on!! In His time..He makes it all beautiful!

Curry Or Sardine?

I am fasting today. Thought it would be good to fast and seek God and pray for my friends as well as for the meeting this saturday.

My my, the devil sure tempts. We were booking out and as usual the chaps headed to Econ mini-mart before we went to Yew Tee. My poor stomach was growling, the hunger pangs were hurting. The puffs were crying out to me,' I belong to you..eat me,eat ME!!'They looked golden and crisp, fresh out of the fryer. I resisted real hard. And, lo and behold, Gopal offered to buy me one. That was it. How was I going to tell them I was fasting?? Poor o me,I needed a divine intervention. I told God,' You gotta get me out of this one..'

Well, in the end, he ate it by himself. A big sigh of relief! Didn't manage to fulfil my fast yesterday - succumbbed to Hokkien Mee - so it was good I managed to today.

The fire's still burning. Barely a day has passed and I have added yet another entry.

Not so long after.

Argh! This is just pure frustration! That probably hints at my distaste for modern technology, albeit I have to admit- I can't live without it. After reading through my first blog,entry,whatever you want to call it, I realised the various errors in spelling. Unfortunately and unsympathetically, I spotted the mistakes one by one. Not to add, the computer tool pretty long to refresh the page each time.

Frustration. Pure frustration.

Mindless Ramblings - a first entry.

Hmmm, I am no computer tech so this would probably look plain. Well, that would be the case till I could actually bother to enquire someone about blogs and its tools.

Well, initial thoughts-hmm- not much. It's seems we are heading in the electronic direction. Can't beat it? Just gotta follow it. Thought it would be a good way to showcase my views. Flaunting it, I might add.

Well, probably another thing I would like to do with this would probably be to improve my language.

Ok, I am getting really lame and formal. The fonts are heavily responsible for that effect. When I look at the typings on screen, it kinda brings out the need for me to write in prim and proper Queen's english.

That said, don't actually think I would bother to maintain this. I'd probably forget the password.
