laterrrs!

was reading hongteck's blog, and he shared about him being a big fan of sarah chang, the violinist. so went and take a look at the url.

and i was so impressed. wow. i heard she was good. but never knew she was THAT good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCLxso5XDN4

i pray for such finger talent too. to play guitar. haha.

today's lesson for shepherding was on grace. and it really brought me back to appreciate this elemental quality of Christ.

and i learn that, grace is the core concept of Faith. it's His gift to us.

yes, gift. and grace does hold the meaning of gift in Greek. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast..."

so, what is Grace? :))

share a little of what i've learnt today,

Grace is one of God's attributes.
Psalms 116:5 "The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion..."

and it is the expression of God's character. how so?

• He forgives us.
• 2 Chronicles 30:9 "If you return to the LORD, then your brothers and your children will be shown compassion by their captors and will come back to this land, for the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him."; 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

• He does good to us!
• Psalms 111:4-5 "He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate, He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever."

• He gives generously to us!
• Nehemiah 2:18 "I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me. They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work."

• He helps us in times of need.
• Psalms 116:5-6 "The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me."

• He answers our prayers.
• Psalms 25:15-16 "My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted."

• He is patient with us.
• Exodus 34:6 "And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness."
  

one thing that spoke to me much about grace, was when atom shared about how sometimes, we do feel condemned due to the sinful nature, and feeling unworthy to go to the feet of our Father. and she shared about this incident she experienced in thailand, where she was feeling self-condemned. Her mentor flipped to a verse in 1 John 1:9, and asked her to read that out loud 300 times!

and she shared that after she read it for 10 over times, how tears just flowed out inconsolably. she was deeply touched by God's immeasurable grace in her life. how He choose to forgive and purify us, if we confess and repent, and make attempts to do the right things again.

what a wonderful, gracious Father we have, who loves us, not cos of good works, not cos we serve, but loves, cos He loves.

looking at photos. thought should add some colours to the blog with photos of wonderful peeps. :))

happenings of the past weeks. in random order. (my brain is random now. hahas)


last day at city centre's service. baby watching!
after soccer in school. :)when karryn came to melb! :) (look how she integrated into aust so fast with her aust jacket. hahas)

after one of the darebin services with ag, mag and suet. :)

and agnes girl. :)

was looking through the CONNECT journal that's starting this thurs. on hebrews and galatians.

and as i steal a skim in the book first, saw this quote, which seems to speak to me loads together with the song of planet shakers-for the cause.

"Live as though Christ died yesterday, rose from the grave today, and is coming back tomorrow." -Theodore Epp.

He came as a ransom to set us free. it's a love that's amazing, divine.

so, what can be our responses to that immeasurable love? :)

i believe, we can many.

but i suppose, all that He wishes of us, is just to simply love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

m off to school to drop books and to atom's for shepherding! :))

good-bye!

believe it will be a long night once more. with a rather hard-to-digest-the-readings-and-hence-hard-to-churn-out-something-that-make-sense-essay. and having an hour forward with daylight saving seems to make it all a tad time-tight. Hmmmmm. but timely, was encouraged in ways!

be it through the praise and worship songs that are singing loudly from my lappiee now, be it through just have people asking me how i am which i much appreciate, be it just chancing msn nicks that lifted me up and reminded me of His promises! like.

...i will get down and pray, and know that help is on its way! :)

pray, and yes, it spoke to me, that in all things, commit it FULLY to Him! :) let everything, give Him honour and praise, as we do it unto Him. hallelujah!

surely! amen. :)

daylight saving has commenced. rights. hahas. so now, 3 hrs ahead of sg. i must really rem that.

switched all the watches. and hp. it's like "stealing" an hour from the earth. hahas.

and today was water baptism day! hana, janeth, tlp, suet and yurim! at st kilda's beach!

it was a blessed day, cos the weather was exceedingly good at 31degrees! knowing melbourne's weather, going from hot to cold, cold to windy all in a span of few hours is never surprising.

and the past few days had been cold. and today was nice, warm and sunny! it's almost God's shower of blessing for their faith and obedience, with of nice sunrays and nice clear water. nice breeze and nice scenery.

and i can finally savour paddle pops in full contentment. :))

believe that this step taken for Jesus, will bring each of them to greater heights in their spiritual walk. :) 2 cor 15.
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation

am going for the local membership class tomorrow. haha will be great to refresh the meaning and importance of being part of a spiritually family. :) the last time i went was 5 years back. how time zooms me by.

dear Lord. prayi ng for irrepressible joy, and strength in my service and walk with You always. and forever. :)) You guide me. amen!

Matthew 18 (The Message)
Whoever Becomes Simple Again

1 At about the same time, the disciples came to Jesus asking, "Who gets the highest rank in God's kingdom?"
2-5For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom. What's more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it's the same as receiving me.

the hour before i woke up, i have no idea why, but suddenly, i was exceptionally filled with the worries and complications of the world, about school. about people. about a whole lot of things. and even things that happened in the past before i know God, came back as brief flashbacks. and i wanted to escape by not waking up, and sleep in. sleep on, to avoid waking up to do work, and hoping i will fall asleep, so i won't let my mind manifest on the thoughts of things that happened in the past. and of cos, gave myself all reasons like i am sick and need more rest et cetera.

but i DO know that the root of all matter, is, i want to run away. so, pulled myself up, cleared my nose. and prayed. and was reminded of Matthew 18. and John 14:27.

desire to go back to square One. and be all simple and elemental in my life. to prevent myself from flowing to think that complicated thoughts means more efforts given into thinking. Also, He is the Prince of Peace. from the day i received Him into my life, the old has gone, and all is surrendered to Him. He has left His peace with me as a child of His, and He does not gives His peace like the world gives, so never let my heart be troubled, and never be afraid, for He is with me side by side.

always and forever. :)

amen.

主祢要往哪里走, 我就跟祢走
领我走到世界尽头, 一生不在回头
让世界听到我们敬拜, 我们的祷告
让复兴从我们开始, 让主爱带到人群中

..祢大能赐给我勇气, 我会勇敢走出去

-赞美之泉-勇敢走出去

Lord, wherever You go, I will follow.
Lead me to the ends of the earth, and never will I turn back.
Let the world listen to our praise and worship unto You; our prayers unto You
Let revival start from us, and let us be the vessels to bring Your Love to Your people.

..May Your majestic power grant me strength, and i will walk on and step out with this strength and courage that You bless me with.

amen.

caught sight of this. thought it was pretty cute. :) i like the turnips part. haha.

PLANT YOUR GARDENS...
It's time to plant our gardens. As you plant, may I suggest the following rules for your garden planting:

PLANT three rows of squash:
1. Squash gossip
2. Squash criticism
3. Squash indifference

PLANT three rows of peas:
1. Purity
2. Patience
3. Perseverance

PLANT six rows of lettuce:
1. Let us be unselfish and loyal
2. Let us be faithful to duty
3. Let us search the scriptures
4. Let us not be weary in well-doing
5. Let us be obedient in all things
6. Let us Love one another

NO GARDEN is complete without turnips:
1. Turn up for church,prayer service, and Bible study
2. Turn up with a smile, even when things are difficult
3. Turn up with determination to do your best for God's cause.

After planting, may you "Grow in Grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ". -2 Peter 3:18

amen! :)

tagged by dawn. haha and this is long overdue.

Rules: Each player of the game starts off by writing 6 weird things about themselves before choosing another 6 of their friends to sabotage. People who get tagged needs to write in a blog on their own, 6 weird things about themselves and state the rules clearly.

so, here goes:

1. i can twitch my ears easily. and in the recent years, have learnt to dissociate by twitching one ear at a time.

2. i have reported abnormal head circumference when i was a baby. and was observed for it. (i don't think it has kept growing though.)

3. when i have a flu, i don't like my hands to be occupied with tissues..so will always attempt whenever possible to hold the tissue paper between my nose and upper lip to free my hands for work.

4. i like to sleep on towel-like texture since young. (have red-towel-like-blanket when i was young). now its replaced by the insides of a giodarno jacket which i like to put near my neck and face when i sleep. it gives me comfort.

5. when i like a song, i can play it over and over..and over and over again throughout the night without getting tired of it. :) and even for the days after that. similar for shows.

6. according to suet: i have this weird urge to push up the specs of others when its slipping down their noses. (hahas. i didnt quite notice that.)

and 6 to sabotage..hahas. i guess i will let it go. (: for those who will like to share about their weird habits to me, always welcome.

mr handsome boy in darebin. luke. (: hahas. he's really a darling. i like the way he attempts to move the big chairs, and to give a hand in whatever we are doing. look forward to welcome him during service each week.

the week has been a toll on me, physically. and was at its peak last night and this morning. but thank God for His comfort and care from others, the stuffed up nose is slowly clearing and headache's gone. PTL.

i was just laying limp on the bed last night, wanting to worship in spirit, but the moment i move my mouth, i cant breathe properly. the feeling was, terrible. i just hummed. and prayed in my heart that may the Lord heal and comfort me. and i hummed to sleep.

and a good sound sleep i had indeed. (: a restful rest.

listening to: streams of Praise's Precious corner. very meaningful lyrics. will share more about it tmr morn, i guess.

resting time. (:

when mountains fall i'll stand
by the power of Your hands
and in Your heart of hearts i'll dwell
and that my soul knows very well...

let heart, soul, mind and strength, be in one line again.

touched when i saw this. indeed, it was funny how 7 wonders was mentioned over a conversation a few days ago, and i saw this today. and i realised that 7 wonders are classified into many categories.. e.g. natural wonders, or man-made wonders etc. so there are actually many many "seven" wonders in the world!

and its true. we can always go to the macro and classify the huge majestic pieces as Wonders. how about, going micro a little, and thank Him, for creating the 7 wonders in your life. (:

indeed, your life is a wonder by itself already, isn't it? (:

was a good time of thinking thru of the mini 'milestones' in my life after eric's sharing at cg today.

thank You Lord.

am blessed. (:

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
the kindness in His smile
and the boy cried out
with the trust of a child,
he said:

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small..."

I trust in You..I trust in You.

So I'll give you every breath that I have
O Lord, you can work miracles
All You need is my "Amen".

- Five Loaves and Two Fishes. Corrinne May

Amen.

came across this as i surf, about parenthood.

i think, they are nice simple reflections of a parent. :)

If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
-Diane Loomans, from "If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again"

so in the mood of chinese. hahas!

saw a package in my room with pleasant surprise ytd evening! think housemate signed it for me. :)

haha a chinese pendant with my name in chinese characters. and notebook, with a photo of much-missed penang with kind words of encouragement on it!

ace! 真的谢谢你! :)) (my first way of saying thanks! hahas!)

Ace-veron tay jiaying!

ace, a constant source of encouragement. a barnabas in my life indeed. your love for Him and His people is truly evident from your acts of service and words of encouragement. simple heart for God and truly humble.

still vividly remember the night where you and abi came to my cg for the first time. and that was the fateful day i was caught in my placement uniform which is not fit for public display. hahas. but nevertheless, a good laugh, a good time to remember. (and of cos, a nickname that i have gotten myself ever since. hahas)

and how afterwhich, u honestly confessed that you werent motivated to be a friend of mine before that. and didnt even feel like talking to me, even we were in the same word for life class earlier on in the year. air of arrogance around me, u said. hahahas.

rights. and i laughed. but its really amazing how in the end, we talked and was blessed by your life!

through you, i got to know DI peeps. a group of people that truly touch my life with their simple love for Jesus. their young hearts, but a fresh hunger for God and His touch. often amazed how they go thru each circumstance with a grateful heart.

thanks for allowing me to know you, your people, and Him better. i believe that He has great plans for you.

be strong and courageous, and lead for Him, jus as how He as led you.

I give thanks to God always for you. (1 corinthians 1:4)

love, mingxiu.

12th october 2007.

poring through newspapers. and came across this article on this group of centenarian friends, coming together to celebrate their many years of friendship and life. :)

what caught my eye was one of the sub-titles used: 100 ways to say 'thanks'.

ahha. was thinking, yes, what are 100 ways to say thanks!

i recall seeing this poster during my penang placement, on 20 ways to praise a child. it was very good. i'm sure i will feel good as a child, cos it feels like i have been praised over 20 times. hahas.

so, 100 ways to say thanks? haven quite thought of this before. what about 100 ways to give thanks to Jesus?

it will be fun thinking of that. :)

God really made human beings very interesting things.

a combination of the logical and illogical.

we are wired in a way, that we find it hard to understand ourselves at times.

but that's the element of mystery God has in store for us. cos that's for Him to know. and to allow us to be followers of His lead.

:) amazing.

received this in my email today.

GOD Has Called You

God has called each of us to serve Him in the place He has us. In His eyes we all have a ministry. Many serve Him in a local church through variety of ministries, such as music, teaching, youth work, or by being part of the church staff. Others serve on the mission field, on the job, at school, or at home.

God knows you and He knows your heart desires to serve Him. You are someone that He will use to make a difference, to share His love, and to touch the hearts of others. What has qualified you for this high previlege of being used by Him? Is it your talents, your personality, your education, your influence, or your resume? It is none of these; rather, it is the response of your heart toward Him. God is always searching for those whose hearts are yield to Him so that He can work mightily through them.

Sometimes we can be led to think that God's work is dependent upon us, upon what we do and upon what we know. The truth is that God wants us to be totally dependent upon Him. He is the Treasure, we are the vessels; He is the Vine, we are the branches; He is the Living Water, we are the channels through which He flows.

The apostle Peter was someone who needed to learn this important truth. Jesus taught him the futility of trying to get results through his own efforts by allowing him, an expert fisherman, to labour all night and come up empty. Afterward, when he followed Jesus' word to cast out into the deep, Peter pulled in a catch tht was beyond his dreams.

As His servant, remember that your ministry is His idea, and not yours. He is the One who knows you, who has called you, and who has equipped you to serve Him. Remain true, remain faithful, remain restful, and remain totally dependent upon Him.

God is not looking for those who are clever, but for those in whom He can be wise; He is not looking for those who are talented, but for those to whom He can be all sufficient; He is not looking for those who are powerful, but for those through whom He can be almighty...

-Roy Lessin.

was reading through some online newspaper articles for a report writeup. and came across this article.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22415193-24331,00.html

sometimes, its really brings you onto a realm of, how unconditional love can be; how it can be translated into giving up of something- something as dear as life, to bring life to another.

like a mother's to her child. how she has set apart her knowledge as a doctor that she is taking risks, and dangerous risks.

but, with love, cost is never calculated. and she went on, even with full knowledge that she will not have many lived moments with her child.

wow. :)

old poem that i kept on my desktop.
i love the feeling of opening things that you have kept for very long, and then you revisit them again. :))

perspectives may change. and hopefully, the perspectives have grown along the way as well.

the poem encourages me. hope it does for u too.

When The Winds Are Strong

If your life is windy these days-
winds of change, winds of adversity,
or may the constant winds of demands and expectations
that leave you feeling, well...
windblown- take heart.
As my mother used to say,
"The roots grow deep when the winds are strong."

- Charles R. Swindoll

thank God for His ways of encouragement. :)

woke up this morning feeling kind of blue. as i dragged my feet to the laptop, i sat down and prayed for today.

and i feel like clearing things on my desktop. to re-organise it a little. random, i know.

but as i put the documents into the folders respectively, i came across a longg letter, that i wrote to God on 10th March 2007, in the morning at 9.39am. typing at THE corner of the room, once again.

"10 March 2007-
...my heart, is suddenly peeling off. I think I am going to get an “infection” anytime soon. And God, I really don’t want it to happen..

...Dawned upon me that, holding tight to objects that you love very much, may not be beneficial. Let go, Let God.

...Believe His plans are always meant to prosper me, not to harm me, plans to give me a hope and a future. Yes, and amen.

...Really love you Lord, my Heavenly Father. I know that you are listening to every beat of my heart now. How long it has been, that I last felt this way. In fact, none, ever since I became a Christian, isn’t it. how funny. :)

..Don’t ask me why God, I have no reasons. You do.

John 14. I trust in You.

Trust in You and not myself, will always lead to blessings, Lord have Your way in me. Amen.

Love, mingxiu. 9.39 am."

i prayed to God for my heart.

and as i prayed and sang to Him, i cant thank God enough, that He has made Yesterdays, and Tomorrows.

i find it hard to understand the things that He has allowed to happen at times.

but i thank Him, that, He made every yesterday a learning experience for tomorrow. He has allowed us to leave Yesterdays behind, so as to have a hope for a new Tomorrow. :)

arh.. it can only get better.

thank You Lord.

Clean Heart

"Create in me a clean heart,
O' Lord
And renew a right spirit within me

Create in me a clean heart,
O' Lord
And renew a right spirit within me

Cast me not away
From thy Presence O' Lord
And take not thy Holy Spirit from me
Restore unto me
The joy of thy Salvation
And renew a right spirit within me..."

meditation. realignment.

thank you Lord for revealing my heart attitudes. can run, but can't hide.

and thank you for dealing with them one by one.

the last thing that i want, is that You cast me away. thank You for not giving up on me.

in Your hands, i commit. big or small, all is Yours. amen.

no greater love.

received this thru' email from a friend. timely, and encouraging.

we are all fine-tuned instruments of God. :)

A Fine-tuned Instrument
by Os Hillman, October 4, 2007

"...I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them; I will say, "They are My people," and they will say, "The Lord is our God."
- Zechariah 13:9

My former business career was as an owner of an advertising agency. Over the years, I had the privilege to work on many different and prestigious accounts. One of those accounts was Steinway Pianos, the maker of the world's finest pianos. Each piano has always been made from scratch; it takes over a year to make one Steinway. The most impressive scene as I toured the manufacturing plant was the place where the soundboard is stretched to its maximum tolerance and allowed to sit for an extended period until it remains in the curved design. This was done in an off-to-the-corner part of the plant. If the wood were alive, it would be crying out for mercy.

After an extended time of stretching, the wood will never spring back to its original state. It is permanently changed. The piano is becoming a fine-tuned instrument. After this process takes place, the next step requires another point of stress. It takes 11 tons of pressure on a piano to tune it. Each step in the process moves the piano closer to a finished product that will ultimately be played by the world's finest musicians. These musicians desire a particular sound that only a piano like this can make.

God looks at each of us as a fine-tuned instrument. However, we begin as rough wood that He desires to transform into gold. Tuning us requires certain experiences that will stretch our faith, our frame, and our very life. Sainthood springs out of suffering. If we can stand the strain of this intense process, we will come forth as gold-as a sweet-smelling offering to our Maker. When we are in the midst of these times, it feels like fire. It is painful to be stretched beyond our perceived limits, but the Lord knows this is necessary for us to become an instrument that can play a beautiful song that others will seek after.

Let the master Craftsman have His way in your life today. You will be pleased with the instrument He fashions.

good Morning Lord!

today i am in a total mood to affirm my spiritual family members that i have worked with closely before. i shall start from today. and hopefully, i get an opportunity to write consistently.
so i will provide a short description of each :))

was just thinking last night of all the blessings and love that is demonstrated through each and every unique family member, and i cant stop giving thanks for their lives!

so a practical way would be, to jot em down i suppose. :) so that i can come back and smile at their photos! hahas.

and if i happen to miss anyone(cos it's not in my phonebook contact list, really, drop me a comment! human brains do fail. :)) )

starting from A, drumrolls*..

Abigail Zhang YuYu!

this girl's laughter is unceasing! and its contagious. :) always enjoy spending time with this girl, cos i get so infected by the joy each time! and her simple heart to serve the Lord is one that i truly adore. i love her spirit of serving, and spirit of using her giftings and talents to serve the Lord Jesus. enjoyed the times that we had jamming tog, and i enjoy watching her play the keyboard. hahas. she looked so focused and truly engrossed, and i really appreciate her encouragement and patience.

thank God for you abi; you have truly been a blessing to X2 and me though i have not known you for long. it's amazing how God binds this friendship in such a short time. He has definitely watered it. :))

with love, mingxiu

04Oct'07.

God's promise never fails.

we had 40 adults in attendance, and 3 kids for our debut evening service in Darebin! Praise the Lord for we had prayed for 40!

and as we did evaluation in eric's last night, it was a time of remembering how God has blessed us much, since we started out as a team on this new service.

though stretched, but God's grace and love fills and abounds. :))

and how we were reminded, to have a loyal heart to Him (2 Chronicles 16:9), and a heart that's pure before Him. and that's a heart that He adores, and blesses (Matt5:8). :))

"....I have found Your peace, it replaces any fear
You have done it all, I can trust in You
Lord I'm stepping out, from the comfort zone
Letting go of me, holding on to You

Freedom comes, when I call You Lord
You are Lord, my God

You are the Centre of it all
The universe declares in awe
Your Majesty, I surrender all
I make You the Centre of my life
Lord I respond with all I am

You placed in me the song
Of Heaven's melody
Your Majesty, I live to sing Your song..."

- Centre of it All

it's 1st oct. :) happy birthday suettttttttttyyyy ho!

happy children's day in sg too. :))

The Wings of Prayer
Just close your eyes and open your heart,
Feel your worry and cares depart.
Just yield yourself to the Father above,
Let Him hold your secure in His love.

For life on earth grows more involved
With endless problems that can't be solved.
But, God only asked us to do our best,
Then He will take care of and finish the rest

So when you're tired, discouraged and feeling blue,
There is always a door open for you,
That is the door to the house of prayer,
You'll find God waiting to meet you there.

The house of prayer is not further away
Than the quiet place where you kneel to pray
For the heart is a temple when God is there,
When we place ourselves in His loving care.

He hears every prayer, and answers each one,
when we pray in His name~Thy will be done
The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear,

Are lifted away on THE WINGS OF PRAYER.

Dear Lord. take over.

sometimes, i think i am just being silly and emotional in feeling the way i feel now.

thank you Lord; know that You are here with me.

amen.
