31 July 2006 ! at 11:30 PM ! Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour I know for sure, all of my days are held in Your hands, crafted into Your perfect plan You gently call me into Your presence guiding me by Your Holy Spirit Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life through Your eyes I'm captured by Your holy calling Set me apart, I know You're drawing me to yourself Lead me Lord I pray Chorus: Take me, Mold me, use me, fill me I give my life to the Potter's hand Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me I give my life to the Potter's hand You gently call me into your presence guiding me by Your Holy Spirit Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life through Your eyes I'm captured by Your Holy calling set me apart, I know You're drawing me to Yourself Lead me Lord I pray love this song. it's really sweet and it makes me just want to surrender my entire life to Him all over again, just as I've done before but failed. yes Lord, take me and mold me, use me and fill me, the emptiness that once filled my heart, You've filled me up. I'm pleading with God, to take this ruined life, this worthless piece of rubbish, to take it and put it int His perfect plan. I'm captured by Your holy calling, its so true. As I listened to the song, I felt this longing to return to God's side admist all the busyness of life. I just felt as though suddenly, I could hear God calling out to me, I could hear Him calling me to return to Him once again, to walk with Him and be beside Him all the way. He was drawing me nearer and nearer to Him, and I could feel that closeness I once had with Him but lost it. its so true when someone says, if you have God, you have everything you could ever need and ever want. He's the answer to everything, He's my eveything. yes indeed He is. on friday night, Ian came back and preached and unplanned message that I think spoke to lots of people's hearts. and it spoke to mine too. FAITH. that was it. so simple, such an easy task, to just have FAITH in God, yet somehow as I reflected on my past few weeks, I realised, I couldn't even do such a simple thing. how am I gonna fight the battle for Him? how am I gonna win over Satan's temptations and have victory in Christ? somehow, somewhere, along the way, I seem to have lost faith in God. lost faith that He'll lead me on. I realise I had drifted away from Him, I wasn't as close to Him as I thought, I didn't knew Him like I thought I did, and I was further away from Him than I knew I was. and I knew there and then, I wanted to go back to Him, I wanted to be with Him once again, I wanted to be hungry and thirsty for His words again, I wanted to know Him all over again, I wanted that passion for Him within my heart again, I wanted I wanted, and all I wanted and needed was to be back in His arms again. to feel His love, feel Him leading me on, to be the princess for my King again. and that night, that message brought me back. I suddenly felt God at the door of the house in my heart, knocking and calling out, calling my name, pleading with me to let Him in. I was surprised, I was shocked, and I found out the truth. the truth hurts but I knew I had chased Him out of my heart unknowingly, and allowing myself to rule over my own heart. I had told God, no God, I want to do this my way, I'll try Yours if mine fails. I had chased Him out myself, personally. and how stupid I was, to have thought that maybe God and I could communicate through the door of my heart, or maybe there were windows, but I found none, and the door, I could not hear His way clearly. I needed to recommit myself into His hands again, I needed to have FAITH and believe and trust and depend on Him. and such a simple request of God's, yet I couldn't fulfil it, I couldn't do it. but now, I want to do it. I just want to have FAITH in Him. and FAITH is all that I need. FAITH. yup, and sat was no-name and nosnuma's combined outing. and aad and speech day. went to school at 10.30, helped qiwei abit, left school at 11.15 to go to cine to meet them for lunch(: and after a hurried lunch, i left at 12.45 to rush back to school for duty. and the duty was to move tables and benches. grr. and i even got my skirt dirtied and drenched when i was moving the tables and benches. ohwells. waited in the guide den for guides to come collect bread and water and only a handful came. sigh. then left kay and edwyna in the guide den and i went to the hall waiting for ronin to come. and me, shuyi, adelicia and ziying went high and mad and the three of us were high until cannot high and so we tried to get ziying to be high with us. and we took a lot of photos with chuting's cam :D haha zi-lianing! :D haha we were seriously HIGH! well then we hung around and waited and waited and waited till 3.15 and ronin wasn't there yet! and some stupid digusting band was on stage, they couldn't even sing, they were just shouting shouting shouting! worse than spanish-fly (mcfly's cousin! xD haha inside joke xD)! well anyway then went back to guide den. the entire guide group of us. and well we had bread conference in the guide den! haha cuz there were so many buns left and so we sat there telling lame jokes and eating buns and listening to the radio on my phone cuz none of us felt like going home. then at about four, the school chased us out D: and i left, carrying with me 7 buns! i felt like some bread woman D: well met the sec 2s at the bus stop, got them to eat some buns for me :D they invited me to lynn's birthday celebration but i was kinda paiseh and then anyway i had told teresa and the rest i was coming to join them(: so anyway made my way down to OG and met them. haha had a fun time together. darren was hilarious please. madness lah he! haha chongchong and marcus joined us after that. and we had tea and biscuits which were heavenly at mark and spencer's cafe! haha so fun so fun! and we played the survey game xD haha and marcus had an idea about inter-tribes competitions of various kinds over a period of time! haha and if there was an inter-tribe lame jokes telling competition it's either nona-me or fireagles win! cuz its either me or melody xD haha! it was really fun relaxing and chilling out with them. and we wanted to meet up for cycling at east coast next sat! but i think malcolm's gonna have some guitar thingy. oh and iris was super blur. aiyo. blur until cannot stand her lah! xD haha took 190 with marcus home. saw radha and prithika along the way and then i walked home(: love love love saturday! :D got back maths result today. 6/20, failed but improved. ohwells. i seriously think my maths is rock bottom already. <3, CASS. 28 July 2006 ! at 1:19 AM ! tmr there is physics test. i'm dead. all that i've studied isn't going into my head and desmond keong refuses to push the test backward. im so gonna fail lor): HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSIE! :D <3, CASS. 25 July 2006 ! at 6:50 PM ! haha been listening to hey mickey, that chao old song(: haha i love that song! :D hmm maybe the sec 3 dancers can dance to that song, cuz xiaorong and i were thinking that we should at least dance at one campfire, cuz like all the other levels got dance at other campfires except ours, maybe it's time for us to come up with a dance for some campfire, haven't got much time left. haha anyway! thank God for the relaxing break for the past two days(: thank God for opening doors for me to share the gospel with caryn! :D gonna share with her this thurs! hmm i really didn't expect God would open the doors for me to be able to share with caryn, someone i've never thought i'll be sharing the gospel with! im glad she's interested to be a Chrisitan!

Thank God for 4-5 visitors brought to Friday Worship last night. Provoke each other unto good works. (Heb 10:24-25)Pause: Be a STAR! COLORS: There is a variety of people around us. One common thing though: they are spiritually hungry, crying out for help. Pause: Point THEM to the Way! LIGHTNINGS: We will meet people with many needs. Broken families, broken heart, addictions, disasters, sicknesses, immorality, in search for significance, etc. etc! When they strike,...!!!! Pause: JESUS is the Answer! HEARTS: Someone shared this, "I met people who put up with my ignorance, my immodesty, my bad language, and my spiritual hodge-podge theology - and reached out to me in genuine love. They saw beyond my messy exterior and looked into my heart - a heart that is hungry for God. I got loved into the Kingdom, by real flesh and blood people who showed me, in practical ways, how much they cared about me. I gave my heart to Jesus because I could see Him in people who said they loved Him. I wanted to be like those people. I wanted to know the God they knew." Pause: a HEART! haha as usual, i copied it from somewhere, this time the teenz blog(: really cool! the post i mean, not the copying and pasting lah. :D The Bible, from cover to cover, addresses the question, "Who is this Jesus?''

Thanks so much dear Wen for sending this encouraging story to us..may we always depend on God to help us stand up for Him and stand upon His faithful Word that we may stand against the wiles of the devil and the lies of the world..please read on to be challenged and blessed..~* This is a true story of something that happened just a few years ago at USC. There was a professor of philosophy at the university who was a deeply committed atheist. His primary goal for one required class was to spend the entire semester to prove that God couldn't exist. His students were always afraid to argue with him because of his impeccable logic. Sure, some had argued in class at times, but no one had ever really gone against him because of his reputation. At the end of every semester on the last day, he would say to his class of 300 students, "If there is anyone here who still believes in Jesus, stand up!" In twenty years, no one had ever stood up. They knew what he was going to do next. He would say, "Because anyone who believes in God is a fool. If God existed, he could stop this piece of chalk from hitting the ground and breaking. Such a simple task to prove that He is God, and yet He just can't do it." And every year, he would drop the chalk onto the tile floor of the classroom and it would shatter into a hundred pieces. All of the students would do nothing but stop and stare. Most of the students thought that God couldn't exist. Certainly, a number of Christians had slipped through his class, but for 20 years, they had been too afraid to stand up. A few years ago there was a freshman who happened to be enrolled in the university. He was a Christian, and had heard stories about his atheistic professor. He was required to take the class for his major, and he was afraid. But for three months that semester, he prayed every morning that he would have the courage to stand up no matter what the professor said, or what the class thought. Nothing they said could ever shatter his faith...he hoped. Finally, the day came.. The professor said, "If there is anyone here who still believes in God, stand up!" The professor and the class of 300 people looked at that young man, shocked, as he stood up at the back of the classroom. The professor shouted, "You FOOL!!! If God existed, he would keep this piece of chalk from breaking when it hit the ground!" He proceeded to drop the chalk, but as he did, it slipped out of his fingers, off his shirt cuff, onto the pleat of his pants, down his leg, and off his shoe. As it hit the ground, it simply rolled away unbroken. The professor's jaw dropped as he stared at the chalk. He looked up at the young man, and then ran out of the lecture hall. The young man who had stood up, proceeded to walk to the front of the room and shared his faith in Jesus for the next half hour. 300 students stayed and listened to him as he preached the gospel and told them of God's love for them and how they can all be saved from sin and hell through the mighty power of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell? Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says? Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say or do anything the Bible says? Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still believes in Satan’s lies (who, by the way, also "believes" in God)? Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing them? Isn't it funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace? Isn't it funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week? Isn't it funny how we can be more worried about what other people might think of us than what God thinks of us? Life is so short..what will we achieve for Christ before our lives come to an end? Will WE stand up for Jesus? Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. ~ Matthew 10:32,33 copied it from daphne's blog. so true so true. it's just so amazing. like what jeremy says, He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, who can stand up against Him? all who stand up against Him will fall for sure. no doubt about it. the story just goes to show, prayer works. God answers prayers. thank God for answered prayers! Complete - Parachute band Here I am, Oh God I bring this sacrifice My open heart, I offer up my life I look to You, Lord Your love that never ends Restores me again So I lift my eyes to you Lord In your strength will I break through Lord Touch me now, let your love fall down on me I know your love dispels all my fears Through the storm I will hold on Lord And by faith I will walk on Lord Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day And I will be complete in You Here I am, Oh God I bring this sacrifice My open heart, I offer up my life I look to You, Lord Your love that never ends Restores me again So I lift my eyes to you Lord In your strength will I break through Lord Touch me now, let your love fall down on me I know your love dispels all my fears Through the storm I will hold on Lord And by faith I will walk on Lord Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day And I will be complete in You I look to You, Lord Your love that never ends Restores me again So I lift my eyes to you Lord In your strength will I break through Lord Touch me now, let your love fall down on me I know your love dispels all my fears Through the storm I will hold on Lord And by faith I will walk on Lord Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day And I will be complete in I will be complete in I will be complete in You shuyi got me listening to this song. really touching. i can never be complete unless im with God. and no one except Him can complete me. what a lovely song(: yup and this sat there is this seminar organised by SYFC (singapore youth for Christ) on answering life's most important questions and anyboday's who's interested can tell me! time and place to be confirmed and then we can go together(: hmm but after that i'll have to go for RI's campfire. hopefully don't have to rush there(: think i'll bring my full guide uni there and change. right gotta go do my maths already. was terribly depressed about maths. i only got 1/20 for the first maths test. sigh. pray for me. im a little sick too. got sore throat and slight fever. thank God the headache's gone away.(: <3, CASS. 12 July 2006 ! at 12:00 AM ! Still - Hillsongs Hide me now Under Your wings Cover me Within Your mighty hand When the oceans rise and thunders roar I will soar with You above the storm Father you are King over the flood I will be still and know You are God Find rest my soul In Christ alone Know his power In quietness and trust such a lovely song, taught me quite a bit. coincidenly, it's also the song which my blogskin is now based on i realise. so many things are happening, so many changes, so many people falling ill, being hospitialised, so many depressing things. but despite all these storms and floods coming, a joy still remains. Him. He is my joy no matter what comes along my way and nothing and nobody can take that joy away from me. In Him alone i can be still, nothing will worry me. Because i can trust Him to do what is best, His perfect plan, perfection beyond my limited comprehension. i will not question Him why all that is happening is happening, but instead, like what iris said, yes i will be still and leave it all to Him. i'll trust Him to work things out in his own special way. i will be still and nothing, nothing can disturb the peace He's given me. Thank God for that stillness He's given to me(: <3, CASS. 11 July 2006 ! at 6:40 PM ! anyway im feeling sleepy now so that's all! <3, CASS. ! at 2:10 PM ! I was walking down life's highway a long time ago, One day I saw a sign that read Heaven's Grocery Store. As I got a little closer, the door came open wide, And when I came to myself I was standing inside. I saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere. One handed me a basket and said, " My child, shop with care". Everything a christian needed was in the grocery store And if you couldn't carry them, you could come back for more. First I got some patience. Love was in the same row. Farther down was understanding, you need that everywhere you go. I got a box or two of wisdom, a bag or two of faith. I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, For He was all over the place. I stopped to get some strength and courage to help me run the race, And though my basket was getting full, I remembered to get some grace. I didn't forget salvation, for salvation, that was free. So, I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me. Then I started up the counter to pay the grocery bill, For I thought I had everything to do my Master's will. As I went up the aisle, I saw prayer and I just had to put that in, For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run into sin. Peace and joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf, Song and praises were hanging near so I just helped myself. Then I said to the angel, Now how much do I owe? He just smiled and saif, Just take them everywhere you go. Again I smiled at him and said, How much do I really owe? The angel smiled again and said, "My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago." love this poem alot(: found this on a scroll i had at home(: its so sweet! anyway. yesterday managed to go for church! yay! thank God i was able to go. after service there was this video on the chinese construction workers' ministry. and i was so touched by this brother's letter i cried. and sophie was like next to me. :/ and i think no one but me cried but hey, i couldn't help it okay! i was so touched, especially when he said that during cny, then the chinese ministry people served them, made them happy, despite the fact that they're construction workers and whether its in terms of social status, wealth, and practically everything else, they're lower than us. but the chinese ministry did not care, to them, these chinese construction workers are their dearest brothers as well. and i realised, that's the kind of love God wants us to show to the world, regardless of anything. and it touched me, deeply. i guess so deeply that i cried. i could see God's love in their actions, in the way they served them. after service, jonC bought a slice of birthday cake for ka hou and horn to share! haha! and charm was being terribly rubbish lah. shall not elaborate. anyway yup then joan tried to save sophie again, i tried in the morning when we were waiting for kaiqi. sadly, she didn't accept Jesus): but its okay cuz i know God will save her in His own time. in the meantime, i'll pray for her salvation and if you guys can, do pray for her too. and hopefully she can come for teenz regulary, and ziying too. im praying for the salvation of the two of them(: so yup, do pray for them(: had a nice chat with iris last night. i guess i was feeling kinda lost, kinda confused. but im glad i've got her as my sister in Christ! yup gtg le. finals' replay telecast tonight. i fell asleep last night so now must watch! : D nights people(: <3, CASS. 05 July 2006 ! at 9:15 AM ! Is there anyone that fails Is there anyone that falls Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small Cause when I take a look around Everybody seems so strong I know they'll soon discover That I don't belong So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too So with a painted grin, I play the heart again So everyone will see me the way that I see them Are we happy plastic people Under shiny plastic steeples With walls around our weakness And smiles to hide our pain But if the invitation's open To every heart that has been broken Maybe then we close the curtain On our stained glass masquerade Is there anyone who's been there Are there any hands to raise Am I the only one who's traded In the altar for a stage The performance is convincing And we know every line by heart Only when no one is watching Can we really fall apart But would it set me free If I dared to let you see The truth behind the person That you imagine me to be Would your arms be open Or would you walk away Would the love of Jesus Be enough to make you stay Hey. Well heard this song suddenly on my tablet. No idea why I played it but maybe God wanted me to hear it. Anyway. I realised that this song's about christians who are well, aren't living the christian life and they're being hypocrites. Well I wouldn't want to be like them. I found this song so real. So touching. I guess many times, we as humans really don't want to be hypocrites, we want to be true and sincere. But many times we fail to achieve that and in the end, we still judge people by their looks, talents, wealth, popularity etc etc. Maybe it's time we think about it. Are we true to people? Are we judging them too hastily? We should leave all judgements to God, for we ourselves aren't fit to judge when we've sinned before too. We've been hypocrites before too. Well really reflected on this song and checked my heart. And I want to keep it as pure as possible. Lord, I pray that You'll help me to keep my heart pure and clean. Help me not to be a plastic person, a hypocrite. Help me instead, to be true and real to people around me, hiding nothing from anybody. Lord help me to accept everyone for who they are, for their good points and not judge them based on their weaknesses. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN! <3, CASS. 04 July 2006 ! at 3:55 PM ! Into your hand I commit again With all I am For you Lord You hold my world In the palm of Your hand And I'm Yours forever CHORUS Jesus I believe in You Jesus I belong to You You're the reason that I live The reason that I sing With all I am I'll walk with you Wherever You go Through tears and joy I'll trust in You And I will live In all of Your ways and Your promises forever CHORUS I will worship I will worship you forever CHORUS This is a really sweet song I've been listening to. Been really blessed by this song. I felt the sudden desire to surrender my everything to Him because there's no point for me to hold onto it. And truely, God really does hold my world in His hands. And He makes me feel so secure, so safe, so important, so loved, so wanted, so precious, so fortunate, just so complete in Him. Without Him, I am nothing and yes, I just felt like surrendering my all to Him. He is my all in all and my only desire would be to please Him. Yes Lord, I give my all to You. Lord I pray that I'll be able to give my all to You. Surrender my everything to You, whether it be my burdens, my blessings, anything, everything I just want to commit all of them into Your loving hands. There is no point for me to hold on to them. I just want You to take control, take charge of my life once more. Show me Your directions, Your paths, Your ways. Teach me to be a Godly woman, help me to be one. Many times Lord, the path before me is unclear and I know, there are many desicions and choices I'll have to make. And so often I make the wrong choices, Lord I trust in You that You'll help me to make the right ones. Father I thank You so much for holding me so closely to You, for treating as a precious jewel, a precious treasure when I know that actually I am no better than the rubbish discarded in the rubbish bins. Thank You so much for accepting me once again even though I often fail You. Thank You Father. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN! Yay I just love praying, don't you?(: It gives me this sense of comfort, this peace in my heart. Thank God for that!(: <3, CASS. 03 July 2006 ! at 4:54 PM ! 1st Truth: The Problem of Sin 'For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.' (Ecclesiastes 7:20)' For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23) We fall short of God's standard of perfection. All of us have sinned and this disqualifies us from getting to heaven by our own ability. 2nd Truth: The Penalty of Sin 'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.' (Romans 6:23) The penalty for our sin is eternal death in hell. 'But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.' (Revelation 21:8) Do you find yourself in any of the category? The Bible describes hell as a place of eternal torment, a lake of fire, everlasting fire and everlasting punishment. Would you want to find yourself in this place? 3rd Truth: The Payment of Sin 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.' (John 3:16) God loved you so much that He is willing to send His only Son, Jesus Christ to come and die for your sins. Anyone who believe in Him will not perish or die in hell but will have everlasting life in heaven. One Decision: You Must Make Are you willing to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, trusting and depending on Him to save you from sin, death and hell and to give you everlasting life in heaven? If you said yes, sincerely pray: 'Lord, I admit my problem of sin. I admit I deserve the penalty for sin, which is hell. But I also realise that You are my full payment for sin. The best I know how, I depend on You to save me from sin and hell right now. Thank You for forgiving all my sins, crediting Your righteousness to my account and giving me eternal life. Amen. 'If you just made the decision to accept the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ, the Bible says heaven is rejoicing over this good news about you. Let me rejoice with you too. Please tell me if you have trusted the Lord as your Saviour. You can email me at marcus-_-13@hotmail.com. God bless you.
