Hahas. I just wanna share with you guys something I learnt on 13 Feb 2009. Pretty long ago rite? ^^" Yea but it's one of my greatest lessons from the word of God while I was doing quiet time on that day. I read Genesis chapters 7 and 8, and what really struck me is this. God found this righteous person named Noah when He was very angry at the sinful world He had created, which He wanted to destroy with a great flood. He saw that this Noah walked right with Him, and God told Noah what He was planning to do so He ordered Noah to build an ark so that his family and himself may live. God also told Noah to take every species of animal into the ark with him as he did not want the animals to be extinct. God saw how bad the people of the world were, and wanted to rid the whole world of existence except those in Noah's Ark. God wanted Noah to live because he WALKED RIGHT with God and OBEYED God, so God finally stopped the flood after 150 days for Noah's sake (but don't you think it's still a little too long!? ^^") Anyways, when the flood died down God told Noah to live on this earth and grow in numbers, including all the species of animal Noah had in the ark with him. But all this is not the main point. The main point is, The LORD appreciated that Noah walked right with Him and obeyed Him, so He will not destroy the entire human and entire animal race again like that. Coz He also knows that flooding the whole place doean't take away the sin in Man's hearts. But
INFLUENCE does, God knows He can use people like Noah to turn people to Him. He knows there are RIGHTEOUS people like Noah out there, who can save & influence others, making them turn away from sin to God. This is called
OUTREACH. COZ AS LONG AS THE EARTH EXISTS, GOOD AND EVIL WILL NEVER BE GONE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE GOOD, BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE EVIL TOO.
Yup, so this is what I learned on that beautiful Friday the 13th when yuwen scolded me hahahas ^^" I also learnt that conviction should be ongoing. ;D PRAISE THE LORD!:3

Today's shepherding rocks man. Hahas. Yuwen told me that we should stand firm and preach the gospel to other people out there who do not know God yet, and should not be afraid of rejection and what other people think of you. I tink this is very true;D in my class there has been some weird and silly rumours of me (hmm. Wonder who started them?) sad thing is, even if they think doing these things are fun, these people do not know how to stand in other people's shoes and think about how the person might be feeling when he/she knows about these rumours. But good thing I'm nonchalant! Hahaha^^" lols. But anyway yup. I will forgive these people as God told me that I must have compassion for these people, as they do not know God yet. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31b. I will NOT be afraid, coz I am in God. I am God's child.
I WILL STAND UP FOR GOD ;D
Hahas. Another thing I learned today: FAITH WITHOUT ACTION IS DEAD. I've thought about this for a long time and really yea, If I believe in God that He can really do something great in my life, I MUST also take action and do the things that I can do for God to do the great thing!!! Coz as it goes, faith without action is dead. Hahas. Yup. God, I LOVE YOU!! :3 Hahas ok i'm random.

Hahas. District cg on monday was a total killer. We went to sentosa for the cg, and we played some sort of amazing race game^^ and my group was LAST!!!! yay *FYI, this is forced enthusiasm* but yep, at least we managed 2 finish the race coz it's not about winning. As long as we complete it, we are winners;D This is what yongqing said! Haha I love her :3 Then we completed the race and went back with the last station gamemasters (JIAJUN IM GONNA KILL EUUU~~~~~) and I had to rush home immediately afterwards coz my mum told me to go home by 6pm and it was already 7.40pm :X But thank God my mum didn't scold me^^" ehehe. And I had muscle ache for 2 days! YAY!!!! *forced enthusiasm AGAIN, please ignore me* hahas. but throughout this whole district cg I learned these things:
-God's strength knows no boundaries
-TEAMWORK (unity) :3
-and AS LONG AS WE COMPLETE THE RACE NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE WINNERS :D LET US FINISH THE RACE FOR GOD!!! XD

On Wednesday (18 March) I was SOOO convicted. Haha. Maybe mostly because of the day before when God helped me go thru the storm and eventually helped me persuade my parents 2 let me go for Metamorphosis! Hahas I love God man. He really knows the way. But I also hate Him coz He forced us through these super big troubles to make us grow =.= yup, but in the end I know it's still that God always wants the best for us ;D Anyways I just wanna thank God for letting me go for Metamorphosis! I relearned the basics of what to do in our personal relationship with Him, and I don't regret going coz I think I almost forgotten some of the basics^^" ack. Yea I don't regret it at all, I even gained conviction. Ha. I spoke to God in tongues with much more burning desire than before, and yup I really wanna thank God for that 2. The last thing I wanna thank God for is that I managed to do MM duty well! And it was almost solo (I tink) coz Aloysius was 2 busy 2 help me much =.= ahhs. But anyway it was quite easy so yea:D THANK GOD!! Hahas.
P.S. THIS IS POSTED ON 20 MARCH 2009 :D
