It’s finally here - the end of 2008!!!

I woke up about 10 today, no class because apparently it seems like New Year celebration is a BIG thing here, so some of the teachers gave us an off day. Yay! Went to the market to buy stuff for dinner tonight - wow…it was packed!!! Yesterday in the supermarket, it was already very packed with people…

The holiday I’ve been waiting for, since the begining of the semester…we’re having 8 days off till Jan 8th. Can’t go anywhere….because we need visa to go and to obtain the visa, we’ll need the Dean Office to permit it..and they wont. So, we’re all stucked here in the hostel. And outsiders can’t come into the hostels and we cant visit other hostels too. Wierd, eh! Anyway….another 3 more weeks and it’ll be end of the semester.

The final semester students are having their final exams after the 1-week new year holiday. All the best to them. Which leaves me about 6 more months for me before it’s my turn!

Till next year….

when is 1-1>1 ?

When is 1 + 1 = 0?
When 2 people do not agree on a topic. No conclusion can be made.

When is 1 + 1 = 1?
When 2 people come together in marriage.

When is 1 + 1 = 2?
In mathematics.

when is 1+1 = 3?
In business. (true?? )

When is 1 - 1 > 1
When is one minus one will be larger than one?
It is when we give our life to God that He makes us greater than the one we used to be.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (New King James Version)

p/s stil on Hiatus, just that this is too great to keep it to myself, so had to share with all of you! Shared by a leader during Shepherds’ Meeting.

WCCI 6th Anniversary

last year, we cleberabrated our 5th anniversary by having a Gala. It was super!! This year, we had SUMMERACE. It is a modified Amazing Race. I believe there were near to 80 people that joined the Summerace. As they were racing to their last pit stop, some of us were busy doing the BBQ for the after party!

We started off at 830am, went to hostel 4 with all our marinated chickens. We arrived there and started to walk to the BBQ spot, some where behind the 4th hostel.

We walked, and walked. Climbed up the hill and down the hill.

And continue walking.

Finally, after nearly 20 minutes of heavy chicken and bbq epuipment, we arrived at the spot, it was worth it!

The view…was spectacular!!! We were on top of a hill, over looking the forest, and river beneath us. Wow, I’ve never seen such beautiful scenery here!

Ok, after enjoying the beautiful sceneries, it’s time to get started!!! Firstly, we need to get the BBQ pit ready! We planned 3 pits. Before that, we need to gather some bricks…

Then, first BBQ pit up and going! Not bad eh!!

Next, getting the charcoal heated up…using the ‘ancient’ style, cupboard are used to blow the fire up…haha..ok, my english is a bit wierd, but you get the meaning!

Finally, we can start BBQ-ing something!

BBQ pit 3 - by Jo and Ming

Not forgetting Ching Ching, helping with the potatoes. And also Sher Ling (not in pic) who is in charge of making sure the potatoes taste nice!

After the SUMMERACE, everyone came over to this BBQ spot and, I was so busy announcing about their groupings and giving out food that I didnt take any picture!! =( Sorry guys! If it’s not for the slight rain after we started eating, we could have taken lots of pictures! Maybe a BIG group picture even!!

Even though it was a very tiring day, I stood for 8 hours long!!! And walked back to the hostel! Took me nearly 30 minutes. Wow, my leg and feet hurts. At 8pm, I went to sleep and woke up at 9am the next morning! A great sleep! ahaha… It was really fun!!

忘不了

What can’t I get out of my mind? Blogging! I wanted to leave the world of blogging for a short period of time. WHY? Partly because exams is coming up and I am supposed to be studying about cor pulmonale now. And see what I am doing?

Today Cell Group was superb!! Totally enjoyed it. Same goes to discipleship I had these few days. Really saw God teaching me and working through me. And something great I’ve learnt is that in ministry time, it is really a time to rest in God because God is giving the wisdom to teach and giving the strength to work. If ever we find ministry is work or labour, then we have got it all wrong!

Today, suppose we are going out for dinner, to welcome the visitors from Houston Worship Centre. Our pastors’ home church. The associate pastor, and 4 church admins are coming. So, we in the Shepherd’s ministry are supposed to take one of them out. But it happened that they are arrving late by train so it was cancelled. Can’t wait to meet all of them tomorrow in Holy Ghost meeting. Yay!!

Another great thing, Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio and Charlie Hall are coming to Malaysia for Passion Conference!! It’s on Aug 3rd. Who are they?? Louie Giglio - the Laminin person! Also gave a great message on Indescribable God. We even watched it in church…super!!! ahaha…and Chris Tomlin who sang Indescribable God! I’ve booked my tickets, and I’m grabbing as many leaders as I can to go for it!! So, if you are between 18-25, dont miss out this great chance!!! It’s going to be a HUGE blessings!! Wow, thinking about it already makes me so excited. One thing that I am a bit disappointed is that it’s only 4 hours, should have make it a few days! It is too short..coz there are so much to receive from God!

Quarks

For the next 2 weeks, my chruch are having prayer and fasting. it’s the church members fasting to pray for the church. So, of course there are a lot of things we can fast from…as for me, it’s something to do with blogging. Haha…so, guess it’ll be less of me blogging for the coming 2 weeks. Fasting is stopping for doing something (willingly) and using that time to pray!

Ok, here is another thing that blew my mind…remember Laminin? If you have not read it, click to read and watch the video!

well, this week, there is more!!!

Do you know, that the smallest ‘thing’ isnt atom, it’s the neutron, electron and protons inside an atom. And do you know they are not the smallest because inside each of these is something called quark. And when they look deeper, do you know what forms quark??

Quarks are vibrating. All fundamental particles are vibrating or oscillating due to heat energy in the environment. Therefore, quarks, being fundamental should be vibrating also. Quarks forming a particle such as a proton may be vibrating independently in the whole particle as well as vibrating along with the total particle. As is known, quarks are spinning and may obey the pauli exclusion principle.

Vibrations!!! And do you know what happens before a vibration begins? Sound. Sound makes vibration. When we speak, the vibration of our vocal cords makes our voice and form words. When we stike a guitar, vibration of the guitar strings produce music.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Genesis 1:6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.”
Genesis 1:9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
Genesis 1: 11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.”
Genesis 1:24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

What is the point here? It’s means, God spoke the world into existence!! Every single thing, that has a molecule, and atoms has quarks, and inside those quarks are vibration - the spoken word of God!  How great is that??

Isaiah 55: 11 says
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Every word of God spoken will not return to him void - empty - undone. But it shall accomplish what God pleases and it shall prosper in the things for which it is sent! How great is this promises? This is already a promise from God that every other promises in the bible that He promised us, it will be done. And we know that we have all of the promises of God..good health, prosperity, freedom from bondages, freedom from sin, freedom from sickness and diease, freedom from emotional depression, etc.

Matt 19:16-17 NKJV
Now behold, one came and said to Him,”Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”
So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

God is the only source of GOOD. Know that, God is the only source of GOOD!! Nothing bad comes from God! Dont tell me you think that sickness and diseases are good?!

Just something to throw it out….

1 John 5: 14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

God hears our prayer.
