Yup 2006 was a good year for us, yet with almost a month into 2007, time flies so quickly.. Im sure each and everyone of us has their goals, their visions to run for. And im sure you would want God's plan for you this year to unfold, and reap the blessings He has. haha. just like myself, you'll have a long list of things you'd want to accomplish and want to see God do in your life.. how desperate are you for it? how hungry are you for more? the sense of urgency? the attitude within determines our altitude.. coming into the year relaxed and thinking "aiyah, God sure make it happen for me one" would only spell danger.. cos for all you know, God may just be sitting back and doing nothing. HAHA.
Yes, so the point is, dreams are dreams, but making them a reality requires us to make the moves. Failure is part and parcel of life, and i realised that the hard way, but nevertheless, its definitely a stepping stone to making me stronger and courageous. its hard, but one day im sure of getting the breakthrough!
One such example is my IPPT (also known as napfa in sec sch). I remember how i struggled in tekong doing all those pushups, assisted chin ups and enduring all the various trainings and yet, i still couldnt get a pass.. and as days went by, people around me improved, and yet i could see no headway made.. however towards the end i got 3 to 5 points for each station except chin up. and I must tell you, chin ups are one of the toughest items to train for. Your muscles will ache like crazy, but yet you still have to keep doing and keep doing and keep doing. At one point, my arms felt as if it wasnt there, and there was totally no strength and life in my arms. just dangling there. it was a low, but once entering my unit, i PASSED.
What am i trying to drive at?
although you might think that its the ONLY chance to succeed, you give your all and eventually you wasted it, dont worry, many more opportunities will come for you.. keep a positive mindset and God will come through..

Heb 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
And I want to tell you guys, don't be lazy!
It takes effort to seek the Lord. It will take your time, your patience, your energy. You may not find Him after one night, two nights, three nights, but don't stop seeking Him until you find Him. Deut 4:29 "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul."
Jesus died to reconcile us with God the Father. For us to have a relationship with Him. If you simply go to church every week without expecting to grow closer to God, to meet with Him, you've gotta change. God is a person. He has feelings too. Like what pauline said, don't just go to Him and keep telling Him what you want from Him. Get to know Him as a person. For who He is. Seek Him diligently. And really, once you have God, you'll have everything.
How do you seek God? Where can He be found? He's right there with you. Right now. Pray more. Spend more time with Him. If some of you can talk for hours on the phone with friends or spend all your time chatting on msn, why don't you spend at least an hour with God? Make Him your closest friend. Approach Him with a willing and open heart. Talk to Him any time of the day. He's always listening.
And don't be satisfied. Never be satisfied with what you have or where you are now. If not, you'll never go any further in your walk with Him. Keep telling God to show you more of Him, keep telling Him you're not satisfied. Tell Him you want more of Him. Go from glory to glory.
And enjoy your walk with God. It's gonna be exciting :)
Love,
Dorothy
Hey guys! What a fantastic monthwe just had, with the arise and build, and Pastor Ulf and Phil coming almost back to back! I hope that everyone has been blessed by their messages and have not only received them but applied them in your lives. Simply going for service and listening to them isn't enough. If you don't receive it, digest it and apply it, then all their words would have been useless, and you would have wasted your time.
Heb 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

"Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing."
"And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
"Pursue love..."
Friends, even as we get busy in our individual agendas, it may be schoolwork, exams, friends, work, or even ministry, let us not forget this fundamental -- love. For everythnig that we're doign means nothing to God without love. coz God is love. so everythnig He does centered upon His love for us and for the world. Everytime you encounter difficulty, thnk about the greatest miracle of all -- the gift of salvation, that has been given so freely that many times we take it for granted. So let us keep this in mind, for every word spoken, every step walked. let us show love to the world, show God to the world.
"I love You with all my heart..."
Love, Jac
ps. Please pray for all the students having exams! We're really striving hard to be the salt and light of the world, without compromising on the spiritual things of God! We need all your prayers!
"Though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though i have all faith, so that i could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing."
"Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing."

[krys]
| CHOCOLATE THERAPY! You scored 85% SWEET, 74% CHUNKY, and 81% UNIQUE! |
| chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookies & swirls of chocolate pudding ice cream You, my friend, ooze sweetness, just like this ice cream flavor. But there's much more to you than that...you tend to view things differently than other people and you like to engage yourself in creative, challenging activities. You're spunky, but not too wild, which is nice. Those who understand you tend to get along with you very well, appreciating all that you have to offer...and you offer a lot :) |

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

there was a classroom of little boys and girls in a sunday school listening to their teacher talk about values
teacher pauline: "sometimes the actions we do have many consequences.. little kenneth what do yu call people who put their hands into another man's pocket and takes his money away?"
little kennth: "his wife!"
haha okay i might get stonned by the sisters during svc :p
but arent we glad God is not like that (: He never keeps any blessings or secrets from us.. we never have to put our hands into God's pocket and try to pull out the wretched and dismal remains of a blessing hoping and praying we can get it out before we get caught. God has already placed all His eternal blessings and promises on the table, in the light and for us to see. the problem most of the time is with us. we only see a limited view of God's whole plan for us and complain its too hard and too much to sacrifice for something so little.
i always wondered what would have happened if emmeline the girl who brought me to Christ thought it was just too troublesome to reach out to me.. why pick the high and rotten fruits when there are always low lying ripe ones? i believe the harder to reach out to a fren and integrate him/her, the greater the satisfaction of seeing him/her fall in love with God (:
so today i really challenge yu to look around yur class, yur home, yur army camp, yur work place and not look at who is easy to bring, yes of course that is impt, but this time rely on the prompting of the Holy Spirit.. cause sometimes when yu least expect it God will challenge yu to go for the high fruit.. so never have a limited view of any fren or think that person is a dead end cause we're not here to sneak our hand into God's pocket to get a pitiable and contemptible revival.. we're boldly asking for it with the help of the Holy Spirit! so dont get shocked at who God wants yu to reach out to next! (:
hi! wow this is so exciting for me.. haha first time i ever blogged.. im an outdated pen and paper girl :p its really good to see all these words of encouragement.. so im going to give my 2 cents worth too haha!

On a different note, with all the exams over, or almost over, I'm sure all of us can now finally relax. But let us not slacken in serving the Lord. It was great seeing all the new friends yesterday joining us. Let us be enthusiastic in inviting our friends continually, especially for the special encore worship service this Sunday by Andrew Naylor and David Holmes:)
God bless.
Rachel
Amazingly, I found a video typing n309 on youtube. It stars Krystle, Pauline, Jade among others. Have a look at it, I'm sure it'll bring a smile to your face.

Just want to wish everyone all the best for your PSLE, End of Years, O levels and A levels and Midterm tests.
Walk into the exam hall with all the confidence that God is with you and His wisdom will be with you. A verse struck me as I read from the word of God, in Psalm 77:14 it says that:
You are the God who does wonders;
You have declared Your strength among the peoples.
So continue trusting that God will bring you through the exams from glory to glory!
God bless:)
