i have never been to thanks giving, didnt went last year because i wasn't doing well. but i really looked forward for today, because i really expect things will go smoothly. i dont know, im just looking forward. really excited.
went to jazz badi's house today to help out in the cooking. but im too afraid of oil, so i didnt help out too much. tired to fry the beehoon, but in the end it's jazz's maid who did the final round of frying. really special thanks to jazz's maid for helping out. the nugget & sotong balls is really tasty! im happy, because i completed a task mikki entrusted me to :D with the help of people as well.
jazz's house is cool. very cosy & tidy. i like his dice chair, really got the magician feel. really appreciate such a Badi! :D cheers for jazz! these few days had been hanging out with him. we chatted, we laugh & we play. i cherish this chance of fellowship.
thanks fajin, naresh & jasmine for booking the chalet. although the chalet turned out to be a room too small to accommodate us all, but we manged to find a place with shelter to gather.
After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.-John 13:5 NIV
shuan followed what Jesus did. after words that he spoke, he asked the guys to prepare a container of water with a while cloth cut into 2. he went around washing our feet. the words that he spoke already touched me so greatly, because i've been thinking alot through it. now that he actually washed my feet, he as a CGL, washed my feet, it really shake me too hard. tears streamed down uncontrollably. yes, he is really the example that i would want to follow. shuan, you're really the greatest, nobody to replace. may you have a blessed 2009 ahead.
i wanna be like shaun. i wanna be a humble servant. i wanna serve people. shaun, you really inspired me. i love you shaun :D
the words that set me thinking, what shaun said today;
the 3 dont give up on...
1) Don't give up on God
2) Don't give up on each other
3) Don't give up on Yourself
the holy attraction i would want to have, it will not let me backslide even if im spiritually down. the love i wanna have, that never fails. the determination i wanna posses, that i will never give up on myself. it's too much of a coincidence for me again. because mikki called me yesterday asking me not to go back to old self, xin told me about a sermon for true repentance. today, shaun preached about the 3 Don't Give Up on... i think, it's time for me to refocus back on track. im gonna bind evil thoughts that come to me, & follow God's will. im gonna stop confessing that im a man man thingy.
everybody wrote their appreciation on the cellgroup board respectively. in the end, they collated for everyone to keep words people wrote for them.
this is mine. i didnt expect alot, but this is more than i expected. thanks people :D i really love my spiritual family. then, now, forever :D
mikki gave out her gifts for everyone. it's a photoframe. it is really so precious a gift to me. her words touched me. & the verse that she selected is what i really need now.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.- JER 29:11 NIV
thanks mikki, really thank you. actually not much thanks can describe the gratitude i have towards you, but i will work hard. yes i will. this time, i will succeed! im gonna grow stronger. thanks for being my leader.
i placed this gift on my desktop. i know i dont wanna it get dusty. but i wanna it act as an encouragement everyday whenever i see it. i want it to act as a reminder for me not to give up so easily, for God has a plan & purpose for me. in this year 2009, im gonna achieve things that i never achieve before.thank God for 2 As in my module - Econs & Stats. im gonna work hard this sem, im gonna complete my course for year 1. thank God for pulling me thru, without you, nothing is possible. i cant thank You enough. Lord, pull me thru this sem! with You, i can do it, i will show the world :D with faith as small as a mustard seed, i can cast mountains, exam is nothing then :D Lord, show me the way you want me to be, tell me the purpose you place in my life. amen.
