Army is nearing each day I wake up..

Anyway, this week has been a great weekend. It was Academic Excellence weekend. Ushering for this weekend has been one of the highlights. It was super fun and exciting ushering with the fellow crews for both weekends.

Alright! This morning I woke up with a dream.

I dreamt that My enlistment date is 28th August 2008. Reporting time: 930am.

WHEN I RECEIVE THE NEWS, I FREAK OUT.

I woke up and I headed to church. haha.

Thank God it was just a dream. But dreams come true???

Love is Jesus, Jesus is Love

BUILD TO LAST, BUILT TO LAST!

I've looked for love in stranger places,
But never found someone like you(Jesus).
Someone(Jesus) whose smile makes me feel I've been holding back,
And now there's nothing I can't do.
'Cause this(Jesus) is real, and this(Jesus) is good.
It(Presence of God) warms the inside just like it should,
But most of all it's built to last.

All of our friends saw from the start.
So why didn't we believe it too?
Whoa yeah, now look where you are.
You're(Jesus) in my heart now.
And there's no escaping it for you.

'Cause this(Jesus) is real, and this(Jesus) is good.
It(Presence of God) warms the inside just like it should,
But most of all it's built to last.

Walking on the hills that night with those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right (We are to get love right with Jesus!)'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
But most of all it's built to last.
'Cause you are the sun in my universe,
Considered the best when we've felt the worst

And most of all it's built to last.

I love this song! This song will be rated 10/10 if only it's meant to sing about Jesus's love. The lead singer is singing to his love ones. I'm singing to my love ones too (Jesus). Jesus's love is something that has been built inside of us to last. I repeat, "JESUS'S LOVE: IT HAS BEEN BUILT INSIDE OF YOU TO LAST." Jesus's smile makes me feel I've been holding back..Jesus is real, Jesus is good. The presence of God warms the inside just like it should. Most of all, it's build to last. This is amazing. (Listen to the song again and sing it in a whole new way)

Sometimes we seems to be losing the war and finds that there's no point doing what we are doing. Do you know? This feeling had been built to last in your heart. Love is Jesus, Jesus is love.

When you found Jesus, something it's built to last. You can run away for days, months, years but the feeling has already been built to last. Don't end the race, we are going to end the race together for God.

See you at the ending point.

Matthew 7: 13-14

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

NEW BLOG SKIN!!!

Simple and Cool! that's what i like about this new skin.

(is this a guy or girl jeans?)

UNISEX!

Broken heart breaks the unbroken heart

Just want to say that a Broken heart breaks the unbroken heart.

This is just like Hannah's Story (1 Samuel 1:1-20)

Hannah can't give birth and was sad. She has a broken heart, she comes before God with a broken heart and prayed for a child. It breaks the unbroken heart of God and God blesses her with a child.

As Christians, we must be broken in order to be rebuilt.

Don't give up in all the things that you are doing.

When you are broken, God is actually rebuilding you as a person.

Having revelations from God is good. the feeling is amazing..

I had a great QT just now. What a way to start/end my week!

Greetings from the bassist! miss those days!

Hey! Good Morning..

Good day! I'm now at Pasir Ris's McDonald. I just watched Iron Man on my Mac and I'm blogging now. After this, I got to head to church to work and attend meetings. (:

How I started my day?

Woke up at 6am in the morning and went to send Eric off to BMTC. Eric just went in to serve our nation. Many thoughts came across my mind this morning..

Now I get what Pastor Lia means when you wake up early in the morning, you tend to have more thoughts.. I really thought of a lot of things.

1) Waking up at 6am!

Waking up at 6am reminds me of those days when I was still in Secondary school. That was like 7 years ago. This morning, I saw so many students at the interchange, queuing up and waiting for their buses to come. It reminds me of the time where Ivan, Fx and myself will meet and go to school together. We talk crap, have breakfast together, late for school, run to main gate before the gate was closed, etc.. The air in the morning is so much fresher?

haha.. after that, something hit me. Oops! I am growing older each day.

2) Secondary School Students

As I was thinking about the morning and the old times.. I thought of all the current Secondary school students that's in B1 an

d F3. Sms all of them? At least 20 of them.. Send my greetings to them and telling them to not be late for school, Greet them with a BIG TEXT, "GOOD MORNING!!" haha, then started talking to all of them individually through sms.

Lala: I thought she's the type that will reach school early. oops..she only reaches school on time and sometimes late? :p

Peiwei: Everyday late for school! aiyo..don't be late can? haha.

Xin Chi: I'm reaching school already.. I will reach on the dot! aiyo..must be earlier..

Jia Xian: Greet me with a good morning and asked me about his follow up on Sat. haha.

John: I'm reaching school soon.. late or not? I'm not sure.. haha. I believe he's a good student in school.

Jazreel: I got no worries about her. She will always be early in school. Good student! CTSS people must learn from her. haha. Started sharing with Jazreel about my thoughts of the "morning feeling" hehe.

Sili: as usual.. full of hype and excitement.. yoz yoz.. haha. I also shared with her about my thoughts of the "morning feeling". Jazreel and Sili are like the ones that I know I can trust in them. (:

Kenn: haha.. must be in the parent's car when he replied my sms. Good student. He never/hardly pon school.

JingYi: haha.. her smses a lot of (: (: :P lol.. she asked me if I'm going to watch the match today. arhh. can't come! I got test in school during that time. I'm sure they will win. She's so sweet as a person. I wish her all the best for the match, she did the same to me as I got test. haha.

Cassandra: woo..she goes to school her own. I thought she's the type that parents will fetch her to school. haha, i asked her to think of us when she plays the match this afternoon. must score more than 10 points.

If you are reading this, just want to say that it's great having you as a friend to me and it's a joy leading you guys. Our future is going to be amazing! amen?

haha.. let me show you some photos of how I am when I was in Secondary school. I'm just like you guys!!

BBQ outing at Garrett's house.

badminton outing: ivan and me. this is funny.

woooo...

HEHE!

KS and Me

3) Army!!

Army (something that I don't look forward to)

arrh.. just now as I was sending Eric off, I started to have that feeling!! I could imagine myself going to the army. It was a scary feeling. I think I can somehow understands 50% of what Charleston, Roy, Garrett, Dominic, many more, the feeling they have when they are enlisted to the army.

Few more months to go. I will be back at Pasir Ris's mcdonald.

Ivan, it's your turn soon.

alright..there are more thoughts.

see you guys. I'm off to church now!

I thought that I should blog about Usher Ministry!

Ops General Training has just been over and all the Ops Crews know about the Surprise!

Welcome to Usher Ministry!!

Truly Usher Ministry has become a training ground.

I can't wait to see everyone of you on duty from this weekend onwards.

Just a short introduction to Usher Ministry...

In Usher Ministry, our vision is to usher people into their destiny.

The seats that we prepare every weekend and th

e people that we ushered to those seats. It's a seat towards their destiny that God has for us.

As the Ministry Head, I have a dream of leading 500 usher in a few years.

Current strength: 160 (Including BMT(B) crews)

Usher Ministry Structure (Click on it for clearer view)

Above is Usher Ministry 4th dimension structure. Recently I have been coming up with a 4th dimension structure for my ministry. woah..it's amazing.

4th Dimension:

I will no longer be the Head Usher!!

1 New Head Usher

5 Potential Head Usher

10 Chief Usher

20 2nd ICs

80 Section Leaders

IN TOTAL, WE WILL HAVE 10 MAIN TEAMS TO BE ACTIVATED FOR ANY SERVICES.

Believe and Dream

Everyone will have the same opportunity to be one of the 117 leaders that I'm looking for in the ministry. Believe and you will be one.

Character and attitude is the key!

Just to share my own testimony as a chief usher..

Honestly, I know nothing about usher ministry when I was a Chief Usher. I was like a new crew. But pastors believe in me and needed another chief usher in the ministry at that time. I was then put as a chief usher. Knowing nothing about the ministry, I rose up to be who I am today.

So from nothing to something. You can be a chief usher in no time.

Chief Ushers

Woahh! These are the chief ushers that have been making things happen in the ministry!

Just want to say that you guys have been growing so much in the ministry.

Why are they great?

1) They are all below 18 years old

2) They are leading a team to usher 800 members every weekend.

3) They have Jesus in their lives

4) The youngest chief usher is 16 years old

(In a few months time, there will be more younger Chief Usher)

5) They are leading an average team of 40 people.

6) They are the people that I will really want in Usher Ministry Dream Team.

7) many more!! join usher ministry and you will know why!

HAHA. Alright! that's all I will share about Usher Ministry!

Bonus if you are reading this, I will be leading this Saturday Service. So for all those who are doing this Saturday, I can't wait to lead you guys. :)

Oh..just came back from church! it had been a great weekend.

Benny is so cute. I went home with him today.

He was supposed to go Ivan's house to stay tonight but they left church first. So I brought Benny to Ivan's house. Had a great talk with him while we walked home.

So many things had happened the last one week and many things are going to happen the next one week!

Ernest and Eric are going to the army this coming week. I'm going to seriously miss all their nonsenses and the presence of them being around us in church. It may seems only two weeks but two weeks means a lot. I will miss you guys. My day shall come soon. sob sob.

Woohoo.. B1 and F3 brokethrough! I'm so happy. Met up with F3 leaders on Sat and shared about being together with one accord like what Apostle Paul mentioned and something happened.

F3 used to be averaging 10-12 the last one month. We hit 14 this weekend. Praise God.

Here's F3 key people!! there's more people who are not included.

Cool people going crazy and as usual, Kenn's fav pose!

Me, sili and Jazreel!

Sili didn't come church on Sunday! Sili, better finish your hw by Fri so that you can come on Sunday!

Anyway, I got to blog about Jazreel. Before prayer meeting, I was having a chat with her. What she said really impacted and encourage me a lot. Thank you Jazreel.

I was asking her when does she see herself becoming a Chief Usher. She shared with me, "maybe end of year, I want to do more in F3 now and really support you in F3 and grow F3."

aarrhh. Something hit me when she said that. JAZREEL, YOU ARE AMAZING.

THERAPY TIME!

Who say young people are immature and can't plan things well.

Who say we need the worldly working experience to bring Usher Ministry another level?

I don't like adults who doesn't believe in young people and always blame us over small silly things.

Why can't they look at the GREAT things we done? (I still love all these WORLDLY ADULTS! God is still moulding them..)

BUT! I must say that every HOGC adults members are amazing. There's so much to learn from them. The way they give to God is one of the things that we can really learn.

Especially all the adults leaders. Jack, Cheryl, Christian, etc.. many more. (:

B1!!

OCK, ME, JIAXIAN

B1 brokethrough 20! After the new restructure, I'm leading B1 now and overseeing B10 as Wei Ling lead B10.

B1 is amazing! Having this new structure, our average attendance is only 12 for the last one month. So I shared with them that our end of year target is to hit 20!

Guess what?

We hit 20 just on the first weekend!

Here's the names that made up 20...

Jian Ming, Eric, Darren, Douglas (Darren's bro), Xin Chi, John, JiaXian, Kelvin, Wei Le, Lala, Peiwei, Samantha, Alicia, Jing Yi, Cassandra, Rong Fang, Cherly, Her Jiwon, Her Hyng and Yin Ru.

Thank you Lord for touching all 20 of us! we love You!

Truly we are living in 4th dimension. we see 20 and God provides.

20!

Peiwei!!

The best shall be the last?

Peiwei has been waiting for this post for the longest time.

She blogged that she hates jianming last weekend.

oh.. i got to blog that jianming hates peiwei too! I hate her for asking me to post this photo of herself in my blog and I got to do it asap! Everyday she's pestering me to do it. oh man, you so hate me. (:

Alright, jokes aside!!! Peiwei has been amazing. She's really growing so much in the Lord and I'm very happy that God revealed Himself so much to her as pastor how preached about "What is spirituality?"

Wow.. long post. Monday is a holiday! Happy reading this post. I hope it will thrill? you. HAHA.

Oh ya, not to forget to share about me having supper with Charleston and Ivan on Saturday night. Charleston drove his dad's car and pick me up at my house. Truly we are growing up. From taking bus together 7 years ago to who we are today. Everything is in God's plan.

Be inspired and thankful for being a member for Heart of God Church!

Thank you pastors for everything.

Pastor Josh Kelsey's blog!

He blog about us!

http://www.change.org.au/index.php?page=Blog

Sometimes, I find it so hard to explain to people that they ain't see nothing yet.

Just want to say that if you are from Heart of God Church,

you are experiencing something greater than phenomena.

It is something that you won't understand what you are doing and why you are doing this now.

But in the near future, you will start to see the jigsaw puzzle being completed.

If there's one thing you will do for me, I wish you will live an obedience life to God, Pastors and your leaders.

You ain't see nothing yet.

Prayer

Father, I want to take this opportunity to pray for my brother and sister who just read this post. Bless them and let them live a joyful and abundance life. I pray that somehow and one day you will convict their hearts and let them live a life of obedience for you. Let us be people with great convictions of Your Word. Let us also be people who carries the Fear of God in our lives. Use me, mould me, lead me. Thank you Lord. In Jesus's name, Amen.

Obedience is better than sacrifice.
