"How precious this moment"

Sometimes emotions flow...
Thank God that He uses them...

I can really feel that my heart goes out to the brothers (those that we go to minister to almost every week)... When i focus on them, I can feel that love that God has for them... i feel sad when they are not engaging, when they are standing there indifferent, when they are missing out on what God has in store for them...

But there is only so much that I can do for them, they have to reach out their hands and step forward towards God themselves. It is only when they experience God so tangibly and encounter Him for themselves, that miracles can start to happen for them.

Indeed, it was a precious moment during this week's worship... God's presence, God's love... May it overwhelm them. May it heal all the broken hearts. May the Spirit of God move like never before in their hearts. I really pray that something broke within them this week, and life will never look the same to them again.

Thank you, Jesus!
Let me love You for myself and not for them.

Worship song: I WANT TO SING UNTIL I AM LOST IN YOUR LOVE

I WANT TO SING
UNTIL I AM LOST IN YOUR LOVE
TILL I'M FOUND IN YOUR PRESENCE
WORSHIPPING BEFORE YOUR THRONE
MOVE BY YOUR SPIRIT
ENTERING INTO YOUR FLOW
HOW PRECIOUS THIS MOMENT
LORD I WANT YOU TO KNOW

IT'S YOU, YOU WHO HAVE WON MY HEART
TAKEN ME INTO YOUR ARMS
COMFORTED ME LIKE A FRIEND
YOUR LOVE
SURROUNDED ME FROM THE START
I NEVER WANT TO BE APART
FROM YOU EVER AGAIN

Jesus, I want to be lost in your love and presence and I never want to be apart from you...

My Jo Jie - Mrs Chin

My 2nd sister (Er jie) is gettting married on 11th Nov...
Friend is launching shop on the same day... Wooh wooh~~
I want to get married too... I mean I want to get attached!!!
And yes, i will find my Bai Ma Wang Zi soon!

It is not exactly very exciting to think that I will be having a room to myself in about 2 weeks' time. For so many years, think all these 20+ years i've been sharing room with her... Soon I have to get used to sleeping in the room alone...

i wonder if I will cry on her wedding day... Will I? I hope not, dun wanna spoil my make up. She is a wonderful sister. Very responsible for family. Always there to celebrate my birthday. For the last 3 birthdays, I really appreciate it lots for celebrating my birthday with me. Esp for my 25th birthday. It really means a lot to me!

Yes, we will meet up for dinners. We must!

I may be quite strong in other areas... but my sister is still very much my strong support. Family is just good, they are there no matter what...

i thank God that although i had a bad quarrel with her a few times.. God helped me to mend the relationship. It is very important to me. :D

Thank you, Jie! (Haha, actually I do not call her Jie... I call her Jo, and all kind of funny/cute names at home. :p)

Birthday - 7 gifts

Had my 2nd group of birthday gifts yesterday.

I thought that my colleagues weren't going to celebrate my birthday. :P
Cos one of them went with me to visit another dept's colleague who has given birth to "Ten ten" on 10th Oct. The rest did not go.

But when my colleague and I got back to MC premises, felt a little fishy cos duno why must buy drinks for the rest. Of cos, we went to buy.

So when we got back, we passed them the drinks. Then when I went back to my seat, I got a surprise. Got a number of things on my table...

*Happy*

Mixed Feelings...

It has been almost a month since I last blogged...
Came to my blog a few times, but seems that I always had a lot of things that I want to write but no time to write, so in the end, I never entered stuff on my blog.

But my blog is still alive!!!

1 more week to MY BIRTHDAY!
It has brought me mixed feelings.

This has brought me thinking pretty much.
Things that I wished for at my last birthday, but hasn't come to pass yet...
It has made my heart rather heavy on certain days.
But I believe that God knows best, He has not forgotten about me.
The good things are still on the way. I believe that God's promises to me will come to pass in His perfect time! I pray that I will have the faith and patience to wait actively or them.

But at the same time, I am looking forward to it.
I can't wait to receive blessings and presents.
I like gifts! Haha, who doesn't?
Friends, give me surprises, give me pretty things...
Give me your love: your affirmation, your time, your hugs...

My Wish List
1. Digicam - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 or FX30 or FX01
2. Trip to North East Asia (Mission trip)
3. Trip to a beautiful beach resort
4. Trip to Thailand/Taiwan for shopping
5. Clothes
6. Belts
7. Bags
8. Sports Shoes
9. $$ to highlight my hair

11. Helium balloons
12. Seafood dinner at AMK Mellben Seafood Restaurant
13. Dinner at Secret Garden

Lastly, I thank God for His hand upon my life.
I'm thankful for the things He has done in my life, and His faithfulness towards me even when I am faithless. Indeed, Jesus is my source of strength and assurance.
I simply can't imagine life without Jesus. It is very very hard to imagine, cos there would be a hole in my life without Jesus. I would be very unstable without the Rock in my life.
I thank You, Jesus for creating me. I thank God for making me one of a kind and putting His purpose and destiny within me. Indeed, with You all things are POSSIBLE!

Hope to blog more soon.

Gotta zz liao... cos it is really super late now!
