Went to a lot of peeps blog and they are all saying about how the sermon this weekend by past Tan really impacted all of them. So I thought that a reminder to myself wld be great as well.
the sermon: Holding on to your vision
( it is very true that a good sermon is worth hearing not just once, but many times over n shld challenge us to do sth about it)
i was juz reminded of how i have lost my vision, the BIG dream that i have. it is true that we often tend to settle for the most convenient, the second-rated once we begin to lose sight of what was our goal. we begin to disassociate ourselves from it coz we lack the faith to believe in it and say it can be done. i no longer dare to say that
i want to be a pastor one day. i shyed away from what i used to totally believe in. to me, i just now want to be a social worker. but on sunday, i really felt that i still can be a leader in His kingdom. i'm not to give up on it. though our dreams may seem dead for the season but Jesus is able to resurrect all that is seemingly dead. i am able to impact and influence the lives of the kids, not by my strength but by His strength and His grace.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. i really felt in my heart that i want to be much closer to being a leader by the end of this year, i'm going to allow myself to be stretched beyond ways that i ever imagined and trust in God to lead me on, learning to rely on Him and i''ll do it, not juz talk it. i dun want to lose sight of the vision i haf. i felt that i really need a fresh new vision for my life, the cg and pc313. it is not gg to be sth tat i wants but God wills. i can be a leader despite the limp that i have. i'm gg to pledge greater commitment in my devotion! and there is great power in confession. i'll try to put whatever i confess here daily...
past few days have been realy great fun.
on saturday we went suntec for ben n jerry. b4 tat, we had dinner at e fountain. mich, yy and i went a bit looney and started dancing ard etc. den Barry started gathering everyone together. they had made a song dedication for wieli n me for our bday. barry's expr while waiting for the DJ to start was very funny. i was already kinda expecting sth le. the song was great - "i'll be there for you". haha. but thanks guys.
e141 rocks! and special thanks to barry and those who rmb-ed that i wish someone wld do tat for me. tis year has indeed been very diff from last year.
e141, i really feel so loved by you all! and on wed we are gonna go for dinner! yipee! one thing i feel bad about is michelle didnt quite had a dinner for her bday and yet she is helping me organise one. michelle, thanks!
2 more days to my birthday...
bro paul juz called, he bought me a shirt from taiwan. so blessed! haha. but i tink i almost qi si ta on sunday. i was like i dunno all e way for all e qn he asked me. and tat is coz i really really didnt noe wat to do for busing on sun. sorry!
we went east coast today to cycle. although it was only for 2 hrs, it was like super tiring. now i cant really sit properly. haha. thinking if i were to go nite cycling with em 2 weeks later, can i make it? sure dun wanna them to keep waiting for me. i tink i'm very domineering when it comes to cycling coz they all got to give way to me. i'm quite tensed when it comes to cycling, i guess. michelle is pro in cycling wor. she and geraldine cld hold hands and cycle at e same time. cy and ariel too. some of the guys held on to each other's handle. wish i had a photo. and i wish i cld do all that too! but anyway, i'm satisfied with a relatively peaceful cycling. =p had loads of fun today!
sometimes so much can happen but i'm juz a bit too lazy to blog them...
tmr gonna be hectic. ki murder trial in the morning, shopping at ikea in the afternn, visiting Raymond's dad in the late afternn and tuition at night. whee. and reading of msgs at midnight! haha. wonder if i'll get any 'surprises'. hopefully not at my doorstep bahz. =p had one frm michelle last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. hehe. den on wed having dinner with the rest. mwhahaha.
eh. cant rmb offhand what else le...
oh. and sth that is really sweet. Ying gave me a teddy bear!!! haha. i guess bears are timeless classics. hah. thanks Ying for the sacrifice. i noe that the taiwan trip muz cost you quite a lot. really appreciate e sacrifice. thanks!
i want to go for a mission trip this year! either KL or northeast asia bahz. praying for finances to come in and to clear my handphone bill ASAP, definitely b4 building fund.
oh and i recall sth else, i actually sat down to watch a football match - england vs portugal! no longer e concept of 22 men chasing a ball but more of it really takes skills. haha.
k lar. i guess i'll end here for now. need to tidy up yday's mintues. and i guess a bit too late to be sending it to them. i muz become more efficient as a InE secretary. coz time is money. =p
