this post for my good friend for er...think about 6years now....wow...eh, did not know i know Jason for so long liao, how time flies.
since my NTU first year, he is my assignment partner for a law course, i rem that time he already appeared to me a very hardworking student and i always "sandwiched" btw him and another friend, Mingqin. both of them are very intelligent and always "argue" lo, ( law mah) i dun quite understand n catch up with them...
anyway its a long long time now....
i know he came close to God once during our third year course, but something had to happen....
But God is still in control.
then busy with our separate lives, then slowly daily the watering starts all over again.
only till recent ard two years that the watering begin more focus.
at the soil where the seed is planted rather than around everywhere! :)
God how can i ever fathom Your will and the magnificaent wisdom You showed.
i always tend to look at circumstances to state "conclusions"
yet many times, i always "hands up" to You, slowly but surely it will come.
salvation is not about man's perceived mind, it is about God's already present grace shown through Jesus and man's faith in God. the truth will be the truth.
it is so precious.
still.
i received salvation many years ago.
yet when i "stand" beside a friend whom i saw the change of heart towards God over these years, him saying yes to God and praying together with him to recieve Jesus into his heart.
it is still so deep and precious!
as if i also recd another big big gift that i cant hold it up.
God i want more of this!
this kind of joy!
only when he took the step of faith, then all things in God can be revealed personally to his spirit.
it is only the action of opening the lock,then we can see the many good things in the treasure box.
like a password to a program/computer game, the keyword is "JESUS CHRIST!"
jason, i pray that as u take this step of faith , be strong and courageous in your walk with God, all of us are together with you in this journey, we will be in this special family united in the same "blood" of Jesus Christ.
your salvation is a memorable one for me.
before this, many things has happen.
Isa 40 a voice called: 'cry out'. i said: what else can i cry out?"
disappointed, discouraged, negative....etc...
sorry God, for this.
i asked still for faith n i still hope that i can still hear You.
today, by your grace, i heard.
and it came so overwhleming into my soul.
yes i was broken, yet because of brokenness, i find Your strength, i find Hope.
i prayed for two areas today, as pastor jeff ask for respond.
Lord, it is so long already, i needed that breakthrough!
many blessings pour out today.
1) Jason's salvation!! ( so easy to rem, one day after my birthday!)
2) puay/ alan,bee keow, chloe, john who came for the celebration. ( hee, i took a pic with chloe!!)

8) my 2nd's sis gift for me, a simple bookmark, christian teacher words on it...unexpected le.
9) E-card from david lee, eugene phang and zhaotan ( my london friend).
these emails are special, coz i have total no 'expectation" they will rem.
david's email remind me of his "last words' to me when i serve under his leadership, thought he would say something spiritual before he leaves for chile but he only said: smile more, because my smiles can cheer hearts" hm, this reminds me to smile more now...from within my heart, for my friends, family, and of course, most challenging my kids at sch lo.
Eugene's email remind me of a teaching he gave during my serving under his leadership too.
talking about being resilience during tough times, and so amazing i rem that teaching also talked about Joshua and caleb's encounter in spying the land, and this word was also given during today's sermon/ prayer.
zhaotan, a very good friend of mine, he reminds me that God is always working everywhere. i rem i was praying for him and there was one time while he's at london , he told me he started to think about God etc...i will be so happy to see the day i see him receiving Christ too!
10) my mum just told me my aunt invited her to her church's outing to KL. though not confirm, but i thankful God works in amazing way, opening doors for my mum to get to see God through church.
11) i recd a mailed card from pasotr Jeff and claudia. wow, din expect, but so happy to recd it! and handwritten somemore, what exemplary leaders, its a privilege to serve under them!
fri one would be a special one....:)
a simple dinner i hope it will come true.
thankful for chukai for organising.

Wonderful, Magnificent God.
i could sing of Your love forever.
Here i am to worship.
You bring me through the seasons.
Lord, its time to hear Your trumpet sound again!
wait! got to hear His direction. before "chiong" need to prepare the army, and strategise.
show us Your destination.
many are the plans in a man's heart,
but let Yours lead us.
Give us Your headphones.
to hear You and to hear the world.
