baptised by dearest youth pastor Kelvin:)

family:)

my lovely DG:)

I'M A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST:):) yup, really happy today, i got baptised and indeed i publicly proclaimed my faith, i'm a christian, a follower of Christ and i'm living my life for Him alone! yup, clara came and so did my Dad, i guess even though so many couldn't make it, yet it was great to have them come:) i was really nervous when i was first to go up and share my personal testimony, and i think my facial expressions showed it all, haha. and i was first again to get into the water to be baptised and no one told me i was first till like 5 mins before!! was really nervous once again and i was probably the only one not smiling, but i am now and have been for the past 9 hours or so. Wow, indeed a new mark in my Christian walk with the Lord, that i can publicly declare that i believe in the Lord. It's exciting to even see what awaits me in the many years ahead. i still remember my dad telling me that i was too young to get baptised, i might just very well regret my decision and fall away from the faith years down the road, i'm not denying that, anything could happen, but i know a miracle has taken place, He has worked in my life so marvelously beyond what i could have ever imagined 10 years ago when i first entered church. So for now, i'm sure and ever definite that i love the Lord and i want to live for Him:) this is something really worth blogging about after 3 months or so:) I have decided to follow Jesus- no turning back, no turning back.

Oh Lord You've searched me
You know my way
Even when I fail You
I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now

Yup so shuyi, for the next 6 months 4 months, you've got to purpose in your heart to stand firm cause you're going to be tempted, go through struggles but do not defile to any earthly thing! Eyes on the Lord. Focus! Yup i believe in my living God, in the power of my God! Even when things look so bleak for this week, Lord, i know i can rest in your care. Lord I'm trusting in you. It's just the beginning. Hang on Girl!

An except from my journal, 24th june 07. okay, i guess it's been 3 months since i'm back from philippines, and i will never forget what the Lord has done in my life then and has been continually doing for these 3 months. Yesterday night, went to Kelvin's house for mission trip gathering, watched videos from the church in philippines, SCBC, and had a time of catching up and sharing. For each one of us it really hasn't been easy coming back into our normal lives saying we want to live differently, for the Lord. But it's truly by your grace Lord that you have brought me thus far in to my last term of school(: Read the letters from the youths and it was really touching. the way they just live their lives for the Lord, it just reminds me that i'm not fighting in this world on my own. haha, and hannah and michael roger wrote to me too!! they're 10 and 7 only and their letters were really cute(: each letter brought such great encouragement to me and it is constant in their letters that each of them really desires for the Lord to use them in His vineyard, not to be blessed, but to be a blessing. Spent more than a hour just now just reflecting, it was a good time, taking myself away from school work and all. i really really miss all of them in Philippines, and i will never forget the 7 days spent there. I've made my choice to just seek you Lord, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for you alone, i'm not going to conform to the world. Pagpalain ka ng diyos! (God Bless you in tagalog(: )

Life is not a series of chances

Life is a series of choices

You have the power of choice

Beyond Comprehension

If I could ever comprehend your wisdom

It'll take more than a wise man of me

With just a human brain to understand all your Godly ways

That has everything planned so perfectly.

If I could ever comprehend your love

It'll take more than a lover of me

The love that sent your Son to pay the price

Oh, to feel your love that reaches beyond the sky and the sea

If I could ever comprehend your care

It'll take more than a lost sheep of me

To lie in the strong arms of my shepherd

To rest in Him fearlessly

If I could ever comprehend your grace

It'll take more than a sinner of me

To be embraced and come before you just as I am

I thank you for setting me free

If I could ever comprehend your greatness

It'll take more than a blind man of me

To see your creation in all its splendour

Oh Lord, open my eyes that I may see

I could never fully comprehend just who you are Lord

It'll take far more than a mere man like me

My Saviour, my Lord, my Father and Friend

Oh Lord, I live for thee!

hmm, to think i was really worried and wasn't going to put my christian poem into my collection, but i guess what mummy said was right, it really doesn't matter and well, it's just my heartfelt words and thoughts, of how indeed the Lord is beyond man's comprehension, He is so much greater than what we can perceive, yup and indeed one day, i hope to be able to understand Him more and more, the depth and extent of his love, wisdom, grace, care, greatness(: yup and what was really encouraging was that Ms khoo said she liked the poem, and that it was insightful! Well, I guess thats Your way of encouraging me to be bold and to dare to just live out my christian life. I praise you for who you are, who you have been and will be in my life, thank you Lord.

i know i suck at writing poems(:

had photo taking today, arghh, christel and janice should just have sat in front of me so i could get the loser sign right where it belongs(:

wowww, its been like say 2 entire months since i last blogged. Well, i'm back due to popular demand:) Anyway school's really slack this week and i guess i'm really glad since i've been feeling really tired. Fell asleep during chinese class and i ate just one yam pao and it lasted me the entire day!! haha, and i still remember what serene said when i asked her how yam pao tasted like- Yan likes Yam:) haha. Spire was quite fun today compared to the many other years, and my spire group seems really motivated knowing that spire is about 7 credits!! thats like way more than MI:(, and slightly less than maths. Haha, and quyen was really funny too today. When i asked him " do you know how much 7 credits is??!!!" He was like " yarh, 1+1+1+1..."... Anyway, tracy ashwyn, i saw that stupid love boat hanging down from the screen. Thanks for the effort there, haha, but that was retarded!!

yup, and i went for the run for hope thing yesterday, 4 km!! haha, kind of wish i had done 8km instead, but nobody else wanted to do so. Still can't believe they said it was compulsary to run as a team and the team didn't even run!! blah, anyway had a good chat with felicia on the way back in the MRT, and i'm really hoping for nice juniors and friendly seniors next year or not tennis is really going to be quite a torture for the next 3 years:(

Anyway, i decided to start blogging again partly because i want to glorify God with my blog and share others just how great the Lord is and what he's been doing in my life, yup and if you're a non christian reading this, just endure and i hope the Lord touches your heart as He has touched my life:) i'm just reminded once again after yesterday's crossroad evaluation just how much the Lord has worked through the entire event, indeed without Him, it would never have been possible. Thank you Lord. How great is our God!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONG!!
