Then move not while my prayer's effect I take, Thus from my lips, by thine my sin is purg'

great.. it is more than a year ago since i last wrote something... somehow in the mist of studying i have the urge to visit my own blog. It is quite inspiring to know that i manage to write stuffs previously. I guess it is probably the my God puts thoughts and ideas in your to share with the people around you.

Life in University has been easy.. it's definitely not made easier by the fact that I entered uni directly into 2nd year. It is probably made worse by the fact that i haven been studying the past 2 years which i spent serving the nation. 12 weeks have gone by and 1 + 2 exam weeks left. God has been good to me thus far. Seeing me thru this horrid time, struggling to understand lectures and notes, keeping up with tutorials etc.. I'm just grateful to Him that i'm still surviving.. hahaha...

i ask myself at times... Why does it seems as if God always wants glory and honor to be shower upon Him?

As i pondering, it dawned on me that God doesn't need us to give Him glory and honor.. His creation alone makes that statement. The mountains, valleys, the big ocean, the sun... everything that He has creature signifies God's magnificent splendor and marvelous glory. To me, why we praise God and exalt Him... it is not only cause He has done all these incredible things but it is the fact that He loves us so much.. He loves us enough to have His only Son, as heavenly as Him, as glorious as Him, as part of a creator as He is, to come down to earth as an atonement for our sin.

It is our sin that leads to this gap between us and God, it is sin that cause us to have no direct contact/communication with God The Father. and because God so love us, He wants reconciliation for us.

If you ask me, what is most awesome deed that Jesus has done for me... for me, it's not the way He walks besides me all the way, it's definately comforting but not the most awesome. but it is the time He was in Gethsemane where He prayed. Even when He was asking God to take the cup away, the concerning for His disciples and those who come after them didnt ever once linger away from His thoughts. A man.. knowing that death row was to come yet He did not cease to care for other. How Great is God's Love For Us!

it's been ages since i last blog something here. Fortunately (or Unfortunately), nothing much has change. National service is about reaching its halfway stage and when a certain event reaches its halfway mark you kinda have the tendency to look back n see what has happen. Firstly, I wanna thank God that He has placed me in the air force. That is one thing i cant stop thanking Him for. Though work has been tough it is awesome to see God's grace being shown in my life.

There are 3 things in particular that kinda made an impact in my life this year. Firstly, it was my cell group. i really feel that our cell has started to grow into a more open and more transparent group. the study on the book of Ecclesiates had indeed made our group understand life better in man's aspect. I mean most of the people in our cell are brought up in a christian family, knowing God n Jesus Christ at such a young age, it's kinda hard for us to see things in a non-christian perspective. it was also a time where our group opened up and really discuss hard on issues that always been on our mind. Thank God for such an incredible breakthru!

Secondly would definately be BSF(Bible Study Fellowship). Being in BSF enables me to study the bible more indepth, it also gave me an interlacual understanding of the bible where i often lack. because i'm more of an emotional person, i tend to be more affected by what i feel and believe than what i see n understand. In BSF, i am made to understand what i read in the bible which in the past my understanding of the bible was shallow and superfical. The word of God = Jesus... therefore the only way to know our Saviour deeper is to know the Word of God too.

Thirdly, the recently ended church camp.. what an awesome, incredible and marvellous time it was at the resort! not only the programs were fun, everyone went there with the same objective in mind n that is to experience God in His miraclous ways. And boy did He did that! everyone from the youngest of youth to the eldest of council shared what has been on their hearts for years. n the people of the Lord response the way only God could have and that was with grace and love, and that we will move forward together with the pastor n the council of our church. the youths especially really touched me. Cos all these while i was finding the hard to work together with them, but i never realised that they actually wanted help but just dont know where and who to look for. It convicted me that i haven been doing my job as well as i should be. Oh Lord forgive me for being a servant without an understanding and senstive heart for Your people. Praise be to God for His wonderful and awesome work during the camp.

one thing i'd love to do is to blog more often and have my regular readers come back. surprisingly, even i myself haven been visiting my own blog that my last entry had inspiring effect on me..

God Bless!

hahaha!! 4 months ago i blogged to say i'm going into National Service.. and now... i'm out of tekong... and in the.... ROYAL SINGAPORE AIR FORCE!! powerrrr

i was really praying that i would get into the air force so that what i learn in poly would be put into full use.. and also it would give me a chance to experience a little how the airline industry will be like.. really thank God i was given such a chance in my life...

anyway... loadsa things happen.. and i shall not go on blabbering about it.. haha.. email me to ask me abt it =)

at the moment i'm still on course.. 3 more weeks to go... yayyy! then after that i'll get to be posted out from Air Force School and to an air base.. to work... as... an Air Operation Spec.. it's going to be one darn challenging vocation.. hahaha..

in camp.. actually quite lonely... i guess cos fellow coursemates there are quite caught up with their own lives and problems.. but anyway.. it is getting better...

lately i have been thinking about.. what is God's will.. big question eh..

i mean... we have been bothered with life questions... sayyy.. should i accept this job... should i study law or accounts.. how do i know whether this is the person is the one for me.. u know those really general yet they bother the life outta us...

then you would ask... is this God's will for me.. is this what He wants me to do... but the question that we should really ask is.. does it really matter to God what i am? does it really matter to God if i become a doctor.. or a fashion designer.. or a pastor? i shall leave it to u to answer

personally i believe it doesnt matter to God what we become or who we are... because our life on earth is temporare.. our earthly bodies is just a place for our eternal soul to be in... what matters to God is how we use what we are created for... and at the same time.. giving glory to God in everything that we are doing.. just the parable in Matthew 25:14-30

so u ask... where do God's will come in?

God paths the way... but we choose the route... if everytime you come across a cross junction of life and you ask the Almighty God where to go... it is no different from God making robots and programming them to go where the creator wants to go... God made us a creation that is able to make decisions.. a creation that is able to choose its own way... and it is thru these crossroads in life that we are able to see God working in our lives.. and after we gone thru these aspects in live then are we able to give God the glory.. God also lets us make our own decision so that we can use these experiences in life to help others who are or going to go thru this phase in life..

so in everything you do.. give your upmiost praise and honor and glory to the Lord above that deserve it for He has done in your life thus far =)

hi readers.. this is gonna be my last entry before i enter the army.. oh well.. you all are used to long periods between each entry.. ARMY.. whoaaa.. scary..

u know.. i'm not actually that scare... or excited.. or nervous.. but just.. wanting to write an entry..

God has been really really good to me for the past 20 years of my life.. looking back at what i have done and even what i have been doing.. i really dont deserve what He has given to me thus far.. serious u cant comprehend the grace and love of God just like that..

i was studying the text on the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-31) i urge u to read it =)

this text demostrates to us.. in words.. how the great is the grace of God.. how deep the love of the Lord is...

summarise...

Jesus was stripped and whipped so that God could clothe you with His grace and mercy... Jesus was pierced at His hands and feet so that God could put a gold ring on your finger... and God turned His face away from His only beloved, begotton Son, Jesus Christ, so that He could have His face shine upon you....

why is Jesus' love so incredible... because.. He not only died for His friends... but He die for His enemies.. before we enter into salvation.. Jesus had already died for us.. it is clear that.. we didnt come running to God's offer of salvation but it is by His grace, that He came running to us and embrace us in His presence.. How great the love of God!!!

exactly two more weeks to National Service... so near sooo sooo near... Tekong BMTC School 2 here i come!!!

am i looking forward to it? LOL.. i totally no idea how i feel but one thing's for sure.. it's gonna be a time that decides whether i break or grow stronger... Especially in the spiritual aspect...

one thing i fear most.. is actually.. finding one that one day.. i'll forsake God for the things of this world.. and began to deny Him and everything that He has done... but i believe God will always be there to pull me thru and He wont give me a problem too difficult to solve =) Thank You Lord!!

World Cup Final... Finally! the one match that everyone who are associated with that round ball are waiting for.. whether is the players... the gaffer.. the organiser... or the fans.. everyone are just awaiting this grand-est event in sporting history to kick off.. Lemme try to list the probable line up for Sunday's match... of course this is only my own interpretion of the line up.. dont you bet on it!!

Ha! a disclaimer.. LOL!

we have Italy who are in their traditional all blue strips.... and France as away therefore they will be in their white top and blue shorts =)

Italy: Buffon, Zambrotta, Cannavaro (Captain), Materazzi, Grosso, Camoranesi, De Rossi, Pirlo, Gattuso, Totti, Toni

France: Barethz, Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas, Adibal, Viera, Makelele, Malouda, Zidane (Captain), Ribery, Henry

Seriously guys... is just my brain telling what is the logical line up.. i cant see both coachs doing a huge bit of changes.. the most i think Marceo Lippi will put Totti on the bench and add in an extra striker.. Gilardino.. both coachs arent known for their tinkering.. lol..

all speculations aside... this world cup has been the best ever since the 1990 Italia so lets just look forward to the final and hope that this upcoming match will engrave itself into the history books! CHEERS~~

now
watching Switzerland vs Ukraine.. both sides hit the frame of the goal once and 24mins played..

3 hours ago

watching Italy craved what to me is a undeserved 1-0 win over the Aussies to go into the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

i have been such a lousy fan.. the past 2 nights i have been dozing off on the 3am match and from what i heard, i missed good matches... exciting and non-stop action matches.. At least Switzerland Vs Ukraine aint bad.. so far.. 28th min..

have you ever thought Our God could use people around us to speak to us? even people who worship God differently?

it is really awesome to see how God work in lives of others... how the same God who impacted your life has also carried out changes in the lives of the people around you... sometimes we get so carried away that our life becomes God and Me alone..

Do you know the God of the Bible well enough? God loves us so much and He knows that we do sometimes lose the desire to read His word to know... thus He graciously place people in our lives... people who have similar desire to love and worship the same God that you serve.. Let these people show you this great God, Creator of heaven and earth, the Saviour of your soul =)

The Love Of God

The love of God is greater far

Than tongue or pen can ever tell

It goes beyond the highest star

And reaches to the lowest hell

The guilty pair, bowed down with care

God gave His Son to win

His erring child He reconciled

And pardoned from his sin

Could we with ink the ocean fill

And were the skies of parchment made

Were every stalk on earth a quill

And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry

Nor could the scroll contain the whole

Though stretched from sky to sky

O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song

i gotta admit.. i haven be very nice to my regular readers.. hmm.. but i wasnt known to be a regular blogger too! hahahaha... i shall blog NOW..

Serious.. watching the World Cup is a very taxing thing to do.. i'm serious mann.. gotta stay up till like 5am.. and it even tougher when the matches gets really really boring..

media kinda hypes up every single match in the tournament that it just psycho u to wanna watch all of them.. and what more.. they (the media) always seem to give u a reason, maybe even more than one, to watch EVERY match.. LOL!

but as a self-professed football fan, the World Cup is like a must watch.. C'mon!! it happens once every 4!! 4!! years.. same situation as being born on 29th Feb.. i really feel for who ever is born on that day..

as i was saying..... having a team to support increases the thrill of watching the World Cup but it is fine if you are just following the matches..

but one thing i really dont understand is.. how can one person or fan, in this case, be supporting 2 teams in the same tournament at the same time.. baffles me.. haha.. it would be good if someone explain to me.. if both the teams u support meets each other.. how do u go about cheering? LOL.. i simply cant picture it..

Oh.. FYI.. i'm a Sweden Fan =)

that aside.. while i was reading the bible just.. i was kinda reminded on how gracious and incredible God is..

being called to be God's children is a great feeling and experience.. but one thing is that.. when He calls u to carry out a mission/work that He has plan for you.. He doesnt change who you are or what you were; no new abilities and strength.. instead God will take who you are and mold your characteristics until they are suited for His purposes =)

God is just taking what He has created in the first place, which is good, and use it for His intended purpose.. so next time.. when u talk to Him, dont ask, "what should i change into?" but "How can i use my own capabilities and strengths to do Your will?"
