Black Road 7th Anniversary:
2010 Gathering of Stones

Firstly I wanted to say a belated merry christmas and a happy new year! Have been very busy but today happen to be my free day, so I just want to conclude the goodness of God in 2009 and welcome 2010. It is already the 7th anniversary of my blog! Wow.. you can really see how new my life can be through God! Thank you for staying with me for so long and I pray that this year will be your best year yet!

Last year indeed was the best year yet but I really believe 2010 will be a even better year for us. It will be from glory to glory, strength to strength! Personally I felt that the sowing season is over and this year I will be gathering stones for a greater purpose, the real thing is coming and I am preparing for it!

Thanksgiving for 2009:
1. Thank God that I completed my last residential training in re-servist ICT 2
2. Thank God that I got my Class 3 Manual Driving Lisence
3. Thank God for my increment and bonus (Recession Proof: the recession didn't affect it at all!)

What will I be expecting in 2010?
1. Getting in to a university
2. Complete ICT 3 maintainance training with an exercise
3. Career advancement

But most importantly above everything, I pray that I will love God more than ever before.

Reason for cutting down on blogging

http://www.konghee.com/www/2009/12/power-of-fasting/

Intresting blog on the topic of fasting. Overview of fasting: biological, spiritual, things to note/tips etc. Do read if you have the time =)

Think you guys realized I have not been blogging very often and today I just want to explain why and what happened to me ever since from the previous post of my blog?

Reason for cutting down on blogging:

Getting quite busy

I have been very busy recently and we always say this in church, "Tired people change the world." That I think it is a good reason!

But do note:

1. The beauty of blogging is:

We can express fully what we want and I'll try to do that as much as possible when I have the time. (I'll at least do a post in a month)

2. Events highlights:

Most of the time you can find it in my FB through Pictures and Sharings/comments

3. Updates & Self expression:

Well when I'm busy I'll express and update in FB and Tweeter with a simplified one line format

Care Less For Our Face

Last week went to Jurong West and Heart of God for Oct Morning/Evening Prayer. Well recently really have a very tight schedule, lots of OT and stuffs to work on.

Well.. for tonight I just want to share some simple things that touched my heart abit just a moment ago. Went for a wake svc and the Pastor told us how he realized his uniqueness and value in God. For me... I have that kind of similar revelation not long ago and it's really one of the key to live a stable life.

Gotto stand firm for yourself, on your value on God... You don't need to worry what others are thinking, just be in the light and speak the truth in love. Don't keep things to yourself and act like nothing happened! Humble yourself as we are all sinners and there's really nothing great about us! Just careless about your face and I guarantee you will have a bigger heart to take more than what you can take and to be a person that will be in the light to stand up/speak up for the truth.

So if there's something you think you need to express and it's the right thing to do in the eyes of God, just do it... care less about your face!

10 Oct 2009 Saturday

What's 10 Oct 2009 to you? For me.. It's a busy day.

Started the day with a wedding service and then rushed to my own service at expo. Then at night had dinner with cell group followed by a birthday celebration at the maska pub and after that joined my cell group for a midnight movie "500 Days of Summer".

To me... 10 Oct 2009 is a busy yet fruitful day, I did something I wanted to do, today... though it's because I have to. Sounds confusing huh? Well.. you interpret that... but for now I know I don't need to do it again as I'm done with one of my checklist of life. Time to move on to greater things.

Too Good To Take It Lightly

Last Thursday attended Overnight Prayer Meeting and Friday went to work. It's a memoriable night.

Well... recently I have been busy doing some career upgrade and I hope in the months to come I will have something good to post here. Anyway just felt that good things don't come so easily, maybe that's why it's good, it's too good for us to take it lightly and so I felt no matter what we are doing right now, gotto stay positive, gotto give yourself or even others sometime.

People need time to reflect, to recover and to grow stronger for good things.

Sleepless Excitement

I planned to sleep early tonight but I'm just too caught up by what I'm going through recently. (Can't sleep.) I've been very excited recently as I'm close to a great great breakthrough!

Just look through the logbook of my life and I can really see the goodness of God in my life. It's amazing and I know it's only by God's grace. I realized something, in the lowest point of your life you might find it hard to see the end of a tunnel but if you never give up, you will breakthrough!

I just want to say a real man really needs to go through some tough tests to go to another level and right now I just sense that I'm going through another set of tests but this time it is not my lowest point of life again but the most exciting part of my life. It's another season, a season to step out, a season to take risk and a season of hardwork! I really really hope that I can reveal it very very soon to you guys, so guys... do say a prayer for me and let us be an encouragement to one another through our daily life. Jia you everyone! I'll hear your breakthrough news soon =)

Last Cell Group Meeting in E254

Last week was a great Morning Prayer/Evening Prayer week for August. I went to three different premises: Jurong West, Riverwalk and Heart of God as I have cleared some annual leaves last week.

Just finished my last cell group meeting with E254 and thank God for this great cell group I have! About 3 years together and now one big group of us will be transfering to another cell group.

I just want to thank my leader Shixiong for his leadership and discipleship in my life. He has taught me alot of things from God that makes me a better person. 3 years in this cell group, gone through tears and joys together with everyone. Let's keep it up in life as we say goodbye tonight.

His will for My Church, My Life and My Nation (2 Days Left For Aug Morning/Evening Prayer)

I want to thank God for my pay increment and also for the 3 Annivesaries event. So what's the 3 Annivesaries? Church 20th Annivesary (Church Birthday), My Annivesary (My Birthday) & Singapore Annivesary (Singapore's Birthday just one day after my birthday).

I think I had my best birthday celebration this year, thank you guys for all the wishes and presents! Spent 4 days celebrating my birthday with different groups of people like colleagues, family and friends.

Well.. For this year's NDP, I personally like the theme song "What Do You See" because in life it's really about how wide and how far you can see and dream! Personally I sense something similar with the 3 Annivesaries, It's not just about My Church, My Life and My Nation but it's more than that.

This year in our church 20th Annivesary, I'm so touched by hearing what God is doing through our church and at that moment I realized something... you won't be satisfied with how successful you become but you can only be satisfied by God Himself! By getting closer and closer to Him with a heart for Him and to do His will.

Maybe you say everything you did now is for God... but do you really mean it? Don't answer that too fast... what if one day you lose everything? While it's good to dream big for God but for me personally (I'm pondering about this recently):

yes I think I should work harder, should be more successful but yet at the same time if all these things are gone, will I still carry out my purpose without these things? I guess that's one way to check your heart for Him.

Postmodernism

I've resumed my various trainings (Physical Traning and some other skills).

What is the defination of postmodernism? You need to know what it means before using this word.

You may take a look at my Pastor's writting to learn more:
