Start of term break

Finally term break is up!! Though it is only two weeks break and have a lot of homeworks, it is better than nothing. Already plan up the list of what I am going to do and the two weeks are already packed. Planning to have house warming and when thinking about all the preparation, I feel lazy already... haha... God, give me the strength and wisdom to plan this house warming successfully, Amen.

Have my first shepherding with Guihao last week - How to handle stress. One part keep me thinking about it is what would you do when you are stressful? Even though I know that God gives inner and external rest when we seek him but in my daily life, I would turn to my computer. This is something to look out for. Who do you place first? God or other?

Have started my own photobucket to put most of the photos.

Today's Verse: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest... Matthew 12:28

Finally...

So many things happened this year... Don't even know where to start.

I got into Nanyang Polytechnic! And into the Digital Media Design Course! Make a lot of friends... The first impression I have about them was that they were very quiet but now they are talkative... Make fun of my name etc...
School is... tiring. So many modules homework keep piling up. I think I enjoy most is the Visual Audio.
Oh, and I join the String Assembly. Currently learning violin...

It is great to be able to meet up with my best friends even though we are from different school/course. Have a number of interesting incidents. (Can go to my friend's blog to check it up... http://unheardvoice.wordpress.com/)

X-29 was my last camp in youth before I transferred to the tertiary service. Though I miss the people in Yhope, but I enjoy the time I have with my new unit. They are super funny. Not long after I join their group, there is a camp at Golden Mile. Very different from the Youth camps but learn a lot from this camp.

This year is a dangerous stage for my spiritual walk with God. Polytechnic schedule is different from high school lifestyle and I couldn't adapt it very well yet. However, recently, I read my blog and felt refreshed after that. (Blog really helps you to recall what you have learn) Lord, I really want to get closer to you despite all the situation happened now. Teach me to be more self-controlled with my thoughts and actions. Amen.

Today's verse: Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah... Psalm 95:7-8)

Sad or happy?

This is my first post for the year 2008... and here am I talking about my 'O' Level result.

I am not sure whether I should feel sad or happy. Happy is because the result is good but the sad part is my accounts didn't do very well and the total mark is not what I really want. (Well, at least, it was not very worse.) However, I know that I will get this total result.

In the middle of the holiday, I had two dreams. One was me getting a 14 points while the other is 16 points. So I was not very shocked when I got the result. Thank God for helping me so much to keep me calm and also for not getting a worse result. It strengths my faith after this experience.

Hopefully, I will be able to get to my course that I want. Wherever it is, it will be God's choice and follow his plans.

Today's verse: Has his promise failed for all time?... Psalm 77:8b

Photos from the camp-x29

This is the main theme of the camp. Our new chapter, Acts 29!

"eyes- see no evil(Weiling and Jeslyn), ears- hear no evil(Mei rong), mouth- speak no evil(me)."
Clarice - flower pot :P

Haha... we have to eat something to keep us awake during the teaching.(Not that the teaching is boring but we did not sleep early.)

Me and my previous shepherd, Joanne.

Me and my shepherd, Elise.

Me and my sheep, Ona.

Happening...

Oh, last Thursday, we have sheep appreciation for Elise's birthday celebration. I had met Angela and Wei Ting on the night before to discuss about the plan. Through this time, I have come to know her more. On the night, I brought Elise to eat steamboat where the rest of the people were waiting. (I had called her for shepherding so it is a surprise.) We had a good fellowship after that.

I am thankful for this camp, X29. I feel so refreshed after the camp as God provide me a newfound energy in me. Because God is powerful, all-knowing and ever presence, I will have the courage to step forward and be courageous to do big things for him. This is also how I can grow spiritually. God is bigger that all problems. Knowing the fact that God will provide a solution that will bring me out of the problems. This is how victory will be achieve.

I have made a small vow to the Lord:

I am really grateful to have you in my life
as you have shown me the light in my darkness.
I will love you more and more
through the days of my life.
I will serve you wholeheartedly and will not stray from you.
This I promise you.

Today's verse: And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it... 1 Corinthians 10:13

Finally...

WFL and Church camp is coming soon! I am attending the Fruit of the spirit session and is hoping that this course will be able to help me to increase joy, love, peace, kindness, faithfulness, goodness and gentleness and improve self-control and patience. Church camp is also something to look forward of and this time, I do not need to study at night like I did for the June camp :P.

Now I am attending drawing lesson which i had started yesterday. It was interesting and with the help of the Japanese teacher(I have a hard time understanding her.), I could not believe that I am able to do a good piece of work for my first lesson. I also resume my keyboard lesson and hopefully improve my skills to bring the people to voice out their hearts to the presence of God.

Yesterday's prayer meet was good! After the end of the PM, my heart was so at rest. Last few days, I was feeling so dead. Thank God that God refresh my heart.

Today's verse : Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble... Psalm 119:165

Burden...

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you."

It suddenly appeared in my mind tonight. I was very weary and depressed with the things happening today but God had been faithful to me and had refreshed my heart. Thank you, God.
