"My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace"

I woke up with things undone in my face, frustrations and what not. Rushed down to YYC for service. Indeed, an hour ago before I stepped into the grounds of YYC, my forehead was knitted together. The amazing thing was, the moment I entered the doors of the centre, immediately I felt this peace in my heart. Pastor How once shared during a service that we shouldn't take this presence of God in Heart of God church for granted. There will always be this delightness whenever I step into church. The presence of God heals all unhappiness, brokenness and hurts!
Peiwei was so sweet today! Seeing that I was famished, thristy and fully occupied with the things on hand, she offered to get buble tea and waffle for me. Aww~ I felt so loved!(:
The service at YYC was really awesome! Though there was no word, just plain worship, it was still good. Seeing more kids receiving God into their lives every week, witnessing kids like Wee Bin crying in the presence of God, looking at how the children enjoyed the games and services is really amazing. Ultimately, it's about spreading the love of God and building the lives and dreams of others. Children's Church Camp is only just a day away and we are gonna breakthrough 200! A growth of 200%! God is good!
Rushed over to PGSM preview with Jieru after service and it was like taking forever to reach Bugis since we boarded the wrong bus that went round and round Yishun. I really enjoyed talking and sharing with Jieru during the journey though. Great way for the long commute!
When we reached, we were shocked to see that the entire room was packed with people! I can't wait for the new students to come in man! This shows how much I'm actually miss school.
Anyway, I met one of Jooyu's friend, Sarah. Our preferences were almost amicable. We both love pink! She was just adoring my pink lappie and I, playing with her pink mirror. How can anyone not love pink? I think the world should be pink! MUAHAHAHAHAHA.
To this date, I've only met 2 pink fanatics like me! Yayness!
Gosh, it's 0302 in the morning and I'm still babbling nonsense. And I still can't understand why people do weird stuffs when it's past their bedtime. Me? I'l just keep laughing and laughing to myself. How queer! Okay, before I start doing stuff that in my normal state of mind wouldn't do, I shall go spend time with my bed(:

No words can better describe the frustrations inside of me of having to miss AMT. Before my anger and irritation caught the better hold of me, i decided to seek God for some answers.
And indeed, God works in ways that surpasses all understandings.
Psalm 27: 1-3
1 The LORD
is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD
is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident. I gasped when God showed me this verse in the bible. And I realised- I changed. I never knew that i had that much boldness in me to keep fighting for the past 1 year and 11 months. Just like what Jieru shared with me earlier this year, the tenacity just keeps building on inside of me unknowingly with momentum. In this, i WILL be confident.

Right now, I'm having my 'close-to-4-months holidays'. And no doubt I'm having withdrawal symptoms. For some reasons that I can't fathom, I really miss having classes. Even though I'm spending some nights of my holidays in school, most of the time stoning away, i still have this urge to get into a classroom, pick up a pen and write furiously.
But hey! I've found some awesome ways to spend my holidays though. Doing more of People work, serving more in CCH and helping out in the CG and team. I just can't wait to find out where God is bringing me this season! I am gonna prepare and grow myself!(:
Besides those, I also gonna make plans to revive the CG's blog. It's been far too long for the blog to remain 'motionless'. Keep your heads up everyone, this June is gonna get exciting!(:

I was inspired by the sermon by Bill Wilson today and also the stories that was shared by Dom! Truly, when we have a heart of a shepherd's, people knows.
I'm so excited for Red Rain!(: Expand!
Anyway, what really happened just a few moments ago was the highlight of my night. Person A and i decided to explore the lift in the National Library as i've shared with A how exciting and scary it is when the lift plunges down from the top floor to level 1. We decided to try it out! The consequences was dire! Person A vomitted in the bushes. HAHAHA. Oh man! For the records, person A encouraged the idea man!

The first day of class
We sat in our seats
We've never wore a mask
We just stone and stare amidst
Then Pam came in and talked about our dreams
Gabriel shared his vision
His spirit man was bursting at its seams
And God was the reason
A month had past
Valerie sure grown fast
Marketing's exciting
The project was hair-wrenching
We sat in our own groups
Thinking that it won't be as good
Happy, we ain't
Oh, Hong rui please stop with the 'faints'
We longed to stay together
Regardless of the weather
Now the room grew cold
When will the rats go, we'll never know
For they're running about
In the air con above i doubt
Now we started noticing the tan
Especially on Valerie's hand
Annlynn exclaimed, 'Gabriel your hairs!'
Valerie wasn't as fair
Then Kassey came
And gave a choice
We formed our group again
This time we rejoiced
During the 20 minutes break
Before our brains hits a hard BRAKE
We wanted to be free
Thus we munched on Bak Chor Mee
Although the project seems tough
We kinda took it rough
We did it with all our might
Oh gosh, we love to skype!
Today we sit in the little room
Our faces filled with gloom
We know it's gonna be over
So as long we can keep sober
Now with AnnLynn's curly hair
And Gabriel's 2 coloured pants
Our relationships is not like air
Standing strong, we had each other to depend
We know our unique friendship rocks
As pink as Valerie's Crocs
We'll definitely remember it in our bones
For it's as white as Hong rui's phone
Words can never describe those days
But I've got a little to say
The three special words
Will make this all work
'I love you',
Is what we're meant to do.

At this time, people are raving their comments on facebook, playing bejeweled blitz, taking quizzes about their friends and what not. Here we are, PGSM students, united as one (in movement), trying to complete the Managing People project that is due on Friday.
I decided to take a break before my brain stop functioning. And I saw the post by Best Mean Friend while blog-hopping.
It was related to my previous post. I wanted to applaud and give BMF a pat on his back upon reading it. I was ready to give 7 folds of Amen!
Anyway, I stopped whatever i was doing and started praying to God to show me a verse in the bible.
Isaiah 58: 8-9
8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I
am.’
God knew about the seasons of my life I'm in and which areas i need to breakthrough. Healing and financial breakthrough. I was so touched by verse 9. I have the assurance of God being there for me whenever I cry out to Him.
I'm believing in new levels of breakthroughs this season!

Today, f2 and b2 kick off with the first session of 24 and i joined in! It was really great! Especially the video of Pastor Cho Yonggi. Pastor Cho is really a man of God! His stories and first-hand revelations are so amazing!
I received a lot from it and convictions rosed and cemented. Prayer is really about enjoying spending the time with God.
Prayer does not need fluttery and fanciful words, all it need was the faith and the desire to dwell in God's presence believing that He's gonna move in your life.
I was very amazed how easy God's presence came today. The annointing was so strong that everything that i was worrying about no longer matters. There was an assurance from God that He is the same yesterday, today and tommorow and He will definitely bring me through what He have and will be putting me to.
I was just talking to Jasmine on MSN and i was really impacted by what she said. There was a clear line of realization. She shared that it's really fortunate and privileged to be a child of God. And although it is not easy, every struggle and temptation is an opportunity for God to come and work in us, slowly molding and refining us. Both of our thoughts and feelings were so amicable.
I really love heart to heart sharing with people. It gives me new insights and learning opportunities.
Class was alright today, the exciting part is that we had half an hour break! BMF, Hong rui, Val, Jaquerene, Yunfang, Stella, Jeremy and I went to the nearby coffee shops to have our dinner. Many funny things happened which i shan't elaborate further.
Besides, the highlight of today's lecture was that Hong Rui was given a Christian name by our Managing People lecturer.
Benjamin (Button) Lee Hong Rui. See how the name flows?
