toblerones with carols. loves.
"Christmas will remain, purely and simply, a time for remembering the greatest gift that has been given."- Corrinne.may[The Gift].
this year's christmas meant quite a lot of things to me. (:
for one, this is my 5th Christ-mas.
during the countdown gathering 2 days ago, did some ice-breaking thingyy. had the group to ask 1 other person, these 4 questions.
1. What was previous Christmas experience like?
2. What are your goals and plans for Year 2007?
3. What is your Christmas wish? ((:
4. What is the best gift that you have received so far?
as i was on the bus back with celest that day, i pondered over these qns as well.
brought about a tinge of excitement, at the same time, lots of thanksgiving to the Lord, for where i am today.
had a really blessed and wonderful time carolling with the bros and sis! liyan and cady led one grp, while i led the other. and i was stunned when i realised how "manly" our group were! with the gusto sound of men.for some sweet carols! (:
but boy, i love their spirit! they sang their very best. and blessed were we when we received the offerings! for church building fund. had a great time w these peeps.
i thank the Lord for my spiritual journey. the many whom i have shared my life w, you are treasured.
and for those that i am sharing my life with, i treasure this opportunity to grow tog with all o u.
random: its been really really long, since i last felt this way. shoooo emo. in, His peace.
and one of my fav songs in the album. enjoy. (:
blessed christmas.

the rain continued for the whole day.
sometimes, walking along the roads on rainy days can be quite a nice thing to do. w umbrella that is. and a huge one.:))
i loved the walks in the rain today, with my huge AH umbrella all for myself.
i love times alone like this at times. gives me the whole world of time to sort thru things within me, and to sing to the Lord. hahas. cos likely, you r pretty much alone on the pavements; everyone's in bus or shelters in such heavy rain. :)
so nice. so much space. to breathe and think.
so many things to give thanks to u Lord.. God, i never really dared imagine, how i ll be like, without u in my life, seriously.
thanks Lord, for being there for me always, like tonight. :))

making+writing on cards is a therapeutic activity. :)
coupled with good music.
i love this part about Christmas, where i start to write my greetings and appreciation of that person.
it helps me to recall of how much i have gone through with that person. and it helps me to give thanks to the Lord for the person's life as well.
of cos, the hand muscles starts to show signs of fatigue. hahas. it shows in the cutting, pasting and even handwriting. hurhur.
cup of hot milk and off to snooze. the weather's like cold ah. :))
merryy merry christmas, in advance. :)

drizzles.
and cant get to sleep. once more. :)
this week had been of sleepless nights. feeling the excitement of christmas. i smell christmas. i hear, see and even taste about christmas (that is, the candy canes. ;))
and i guess, its also the racing thoughts that i have in my brain, tt's keeping me awake as well.
havent been updating. but life was fruitful for the past few wks. :)) so much to share, but didnt really have the opportunity to jot the thots down.
u know, i seem to learn a different side of myself within the past few weeks. and i really sense this renewal in my heart as i continue to serve the Lord with the team.
and i was totally awed, and really amazed, and really thankful to the Lord for His faithfulness. :)) my ever, dearest faithful Father.
thanksgiving for the week, and no greater Christmas gifts than these: 4 salvations, who will eternally be with us in Heaven!
15 Dec: Kaisze came to know the Lord through the phone with Shar! in cuppage girls washroom. i was having WKS briefing when shar told me abt kaisze wanting to received Christ. i was really overwhelmed tt i couldnt concentrate on the briefing anymore, and ran to join Shar. PTL!
16 Dec: Wenxin was really open to share abt her hurts, and glad she rededicated her life to Jesus again! :)) enjoyed sharing with her over dinner after svc; a girl with this sweetness in her, and her sincerity in wanting to serve the Lord.
17 Dec night: was on msn. and Deb told me about her bro Dexter, asking her some questions of life. recalled sharing with Deb on sat night after svc online in response to what she asked me; nothing is ever too late for God; is all about the willingness, and obedience to the Lord. And deb being deb, she ll always do the deliberate and intentional to obey the Lord, eventually. Obedience is the key. :))
and the Lord honours her heart! Dexter received Christ at his own home! Praise the Lord! we all know how hardened Dex was in the past. but with faithful prayers and fasting, all things are possible as He hears our cries! :))
18 Dec noon: received a call fr shar after i sent out msgs to encourage the team for the harvest ahead. thought that shar wanted to clarify some stuff with regards to svc this sat. never did i imagine it to be a sharing of Huifen's conversion during attachment!
These experiences proved to me: Salvation, anytime, anywhere. For God is everywhere, everytime. :))
Father, i thank You for listening to each of my whispered prayers. i thank You, for knowing my heart's deepest, where sometimes i get confused as well, but You know my needs and wants; and i thank You for Your faithfulness in my life.
Thank You for Your faithfulness to my team. The cheer of salvations were booster prior to the Christmas service. I am so thankful for this important lesson that You have taught me and my team during this period: Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Cliche? maybe. To me, its vivid.
It's God's demonstration of His outrageous love to me. I know it. He knows my fears, my strongholds, my innermost thoughts, and He chose to reassure me and gave me encouragement during this period of time.
what greater Love than this?
More to come. Soaked in His Blessings as we soak in Prayers!
have been taking time this week to spend with the Lord, and also with people. with Mum and sis to Garden Festival on mon. busked in the beautiful sights of flowersssss. took gazillion photos! upload soon.
i really really had a good time that day. was so uplifted! i feel like going again! flowers flowers!
You cant help but once again, be in awe of God's creativity and cheer..of the creation of these greens and colours. :)
random: i cant figure out some stuff. and i think i never will. and i think its not important to figure em out. i shall just walk on, and keep my steps close with Him, and trust in You and not myself.
just like this song- i need to be next to You.
no one else. :))
i really love this life i share with You.
