all my thoughts are just like BUBBLING from within me but i dont know where to start or how to put all of it in words!

first thing, YES! i can go for hk lc! :DD yay! its a long story man. but in short, i think God has used this opportunity to make me closer to my parents. and allow us to communicate at a deeper level. me and my parents talked about it on two occasions and they finally allowed me to go! though a bit relectantly. they kept talking about money concerns studies concerns etc. rahhh. i kept pouring them with my own convictions etc. cant really rmb what are all the details. today, we talked deep again and it was REALLY FRUITFUL. came to consensus on many things and the whole mood was just so agreeable and everything. and yay! so now the final conclusion is that they really allow me to go. and in fact many of my concerns were just me being impatient/worried/judgemental of them. hahah if u want to know more details just bug me. i cant seem to know how to summarise it best in words without confusing everyone/myself :/

but heres the crux of what we talked about:
1) Serving God does not just equal to doing spiritual work but living our lives to its fullest potential that God has given to us based on our gifting and talents= life to the fullest!
2) Not all people are called to go do missions or to become pastors but some can be doctors, lawyers or even singers yet they still faithfully serve you. Bottom-line need-to-know is that we love people and spread God’s love to them in whatever role we are playing
3) We need to discover who God wants us to be and not choose who we wanna be and force our way through with God. Know where we fit in God’s big plan, like a puzzle piece in the big picture.

so now i dont have to worry too much when they complain about my ministry involvement etc and think that they are Christians who arent excited about serving God anymore. I think sometimes they are just worried that i serve serve serve until get carried away, get tired, slog my way through and forget those 3 points on top.

God is working in my family :)

Romans 12:1-2(the message)

So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

-i need to readily respond to God working in me!

ytd when xiaoyang (our j1 hc NB!) shared about his encounters with God and how he came to know Him, it was evident that the cg was encouraged! :)

ahhh. people need God more than I can imagine.

i need more urgency. more desperation.

do people get the feeling that theres always a need to spend some immediate, on-the-spot short time tuning out to God before they start blogging?

hehs, i've quite often felt that way :)
right, so im starting this post aft a short prayer.

okay.

i dont know how to summarise Oasis camp in a short post. but a few words that i can put off my mind right now are- MORE, GREATER and GREAT COMMISSON

more: sought and found more of God. though after 2 days i felt filled i still asked God for more more more. joy peace love grace empowerment.. i did find them at camp

greater: greater perspective of my calling and purpose, greater burden

i think camp heightened my spiritual senses

and as for great commisson, wow. i dont know what God is doing but im sure He is renewing my mind and bringing my perspective to a higher level. less of me, more of others. more on community, influence.

its my first camp with the jc district/unit/ cg:) and when i look at central.. frankly at the start of the year i did miss being part of this family. and in a way i was VERY emotionally attached to central which made it difficult to find my place in JC and in hwachong. plus having a sister, who 1) is in your ex-unit! 2)keeps forgetting u are not in central ,stirred up some extra emotions.
but this camp, or rather before this camp it was no longer so.

man, God called me to be a even greater blessing in where I am now. emotions aside, i can say that i am REALLY REALLY proud and happy to be serving where i am now right here in JC and in hwachong. I saw serving God in a bigger picture and thank God i did!

building up this cg. life by life. yay! i know im not alone:D

seeking to turn local thinking to global thinking
and an increase in my spirit of learning.

omg. youth hen zhong yao! whether in high sch ministry or in jc. whether as nb or coreteam. have a-levels or whatever. GOD CAN USE YOU. its boils down to saying "God, I want you to use me NOW, i know in You i can, just show me how"

heyy, calean would be disappearing for four days (9-12 june) cos she gonna have a AWESOME TIME with God and the church at downtown east!
finally the long awaited camp is starting in about 36 hours :D cant. wait. ahaha
expecting God to really pour in lots during the camp.. God, You move!

the line between impossibility and possibility is God's presence- words spoken during 1st svc worship today.

It's not easy believing that we have so much power and authority in God. takes faith. and no wonder faith can move mountains cos its God's hand that is at work not ours. We dont have to trust ourselves, just trust God.

well, easy said than done!

hey God, I wanna keep in step with the spirit!
