I remember, there was one day that I was very very angry, and the Holy Spirit prompted me to remember the word of the Lord and to forgive... but I felt it was so difficult that I told myself...its so difficult to be a christian! There is so much so much so much to follow.
Today's devotion is a reminder to me ... that It is for my own good. And, He gently corrected me of my attitude to his word... At first, when I read it... i was like, "HAR? Hold on to instruction?!" Sounds a little wrong to me ... but, as God revealed to me of his heartbeat... I understood in my heart that the bible is God's love letter to me, God's blessing to me ....that I may receive the full victory he has for me in my life...
Lord, thank you for touching me in this way. Thank you for speaking to me so immediately. I miss you too and I love you very much for choosing me to be your daughter. Thank you that you will give me the strength to walk by your ways and your words. I want to put your word first in my life.
****************************************
Its Chinese New Year today , and its significant to me this year, because I'm officially a working adult... So, I had the wonderful opportunity to give my parents the red packet this year.. I used the FCBC red packet to give to daddy and mummy and my grandparents. My prayer for this Chinese New Year for them is this : That they will realise that their providence come from God alone. That they will continue to soften their hearts towards God, and I believe that they will be saved! Because the word promised that when one in the household is saved, the rest will be saved as well. :) My grandparents, dad and mum were pleasantly surprised with the red packet... To me, the money wasn't as important to the best gift that I have given to them - the prayer that went alone with the red packet. To me, this is a prophetic act. Knowing that my parents are not christians and not very approving of us being christians, by doing this, I want to let them know that I still love them and Christ still love them.
God, I thank you for parents like mine, that are willing to provide for us all the way in our life. Thank you that my parents are already paving a good path for us all the way till our old age... For such loving parents, They deserve the best too. Please give them the best gift anyone can ever have - eternal life. Lord, i pray against all powers of darkness in my family, but I pray for your light, warmth and love to shine through. Help my siblings and I to shine for you in their lives. Thank you Jesus. In Jesus Name, Amen.
I had a great Chinese New Year (Too Full Though!) What about you?

2nd February 2007
Starting from Friday night, I went for one of the session for FCBC Santification week..Man, i must say, it was like a new start..
Right from worship, when we started singing "How Great is Our God" ... I just felt in awe of his greatness and his character .... Especially when we sang "Time is in his hands, beginning and the end" .. This moment in my life, I am starting to feel that Time is in control of me, and I am not able to catch up with me... its leaving me breathless and times I feel like "GIMME SOME SPACE TO BREATHE PLEASE!" But, really, if time is in God's hands, What else can he not control? What else is more difficult for him? I reject the thoughts that I need to keep moving along with Time, because my God is a God who is in control, I need only to move along with My God...
There were a few things that Pastor Eugene shared that made me ponder:
"To the extent to which your heart is touched by God, to which your life is reached by God is the entent your tribe, family and relationships will grow." For the word of the Lord has said
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:33
these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:33
How much then, Is my heart touched by God? My heart has been touched and reached, but not open enough for God to make a life-changing impact on those around. Am I salted and lighted enough? No, in fact, by monday usually, I see my light flickering. It shall not remain so, I want my entire being to be taken over by my Lord and my saviour to a point that my every day life is based on this verse
"Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things"
Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things"
Colossians 3:2
I know, deep in my heart, as I begin to do this, I'll be stepping into the supernatural life that My God has prepared for me :)
Its been a long time since the last congregation, and even though I woke up really early this morning for the WORD encounter (6am) , I have no regrets...its been a fulfilling experience..
This congre, felt very family. The sharing from Pastor William, and the other brothers was clearly their heartfelt sharings, which I have been very blessed by. ;p
Pastor William shared a hard to digest message, yet one that is inspiring, as usual.
The truth was brought forth, without coating with sweet honeyed words, and the truth is that Our Christian walk will be one of sufferings, sharing the suffering in Christ, so that we may be changed from glory to glory.

"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character;
and character, hope,
And hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."

perseverance, character;
and character, hope,
And hope does not disappoint us,
because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
Romans 5:3-5
The size of our problems is the sign of the victory we're going to face!
How big is your problem then, Chin Ling,
That is how big a victory you will be getting! :)
All of weilun, Paul and Dennis's sharing were good, many things they said really awaken me from various parts of slumber in my life. I was particularly touched by Paul's testimony at the end of the sharing ... He said that God told him this " 我 都 没有怪你，你为设么怪自己？“ He was referring to the some of the guys he was discipling who decided to drop out of church and not come back... God, in his goodness,understanding that these has made their choice, and it was a choice that even a leader cannot decide for them. But, God knows that many of us are wounded, because of the guilt and the condemnation we put on ourselves... So, the moment Paul Said that, I really broke down. I never knew I was suffering from this guilt.. It was just very subtle, sometimes, you think about people that God has caused to cross your path, and how they have dropped out, I think about the ex-cell group... My heart hurts at the loss of many... I really felt like my hands were bloody from the killing of many spiritual babies .. I really really really hurt from it... I really feel so weak in my own capabilities... God has surfaced this weakness...and this time, I cannot wait to start serving again ....at Kids' Cell, At TYLC! :) He will make me strong in my weaknesses! Yeah! A New Beginning!
At the end of congre, Pastor was prompted to give hugs to those who needed it ...and man, it was such a healing moment for many...
And for me, just being at congre with the whole team again felt great... I really felt that love and family atmosphere, I thank God that he has binded us through the hard and joyful times :) We freely prayed for each other, laughed alongside each other, cried together... and yes, I'm so glad we did it together :) I love each and everyone of you...and really, lets cry together with each other when one is in sorrow, lets take joy and celebrate each other's success too! Del Del, Thanks for your hug....It was a time of closure for me...
Up Next! Photo Blog!
