Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
-Romans 12: 2

i'm so grateful!~

just gotta back my results for my first semester in school.
not a totally grand and great results but i'm so grateful to God for it!
i got 2As and 3Bs!!!

was so so anxious yesterday since i got no time to enter my sch's intranet to check my results.
also i thought myself tt i need to study and serve real hard becos i know tt it is definitely possible to serve hard as a spiritual minister and do well in studies as a student too.

not easy at all, lots of efforts r needed...
but we do not serve and trust a 'luck' kind of God,
but a God who do His part of best while we give our best too!~

so let me declare tis:
a xtian can and must excel in both ministry and studies!!!
in fact a person serving as spiritual minister in church shld do even better in studies, since they shld know exactly the reason behind studying and they haf a great and mighty God leading and supporting them.

i'm glad tt thru my results i'm able to prove to my parents and elder sister tt wat the church invested and moulded me in is not in vain. i hope to be a good eg for my younger sister too.

realy grateful for the converts during this xmas season too!
i'm proud of my people becos they really serve God hard and love Jesus lots too.

i'm totally proud of my direct core team members for what they are pursuing for Jesus!
i'm thxful for this friendship offered to me too through their lives and the lives of my own CG(Shirls' DMM).

shall update more of God's blessings after i collate the whole xmas harvest!~

retention is the next step! :)

camp's over!

the past one month has been a really busy one for me!
first was my exams, then the preparations of the camp, then the actualisation of the camp.

i'm outwardly drained, but inwardly renewed!

the camp was indeed a fruitful one.

managed to spend time talking with few people, like lester, shawn(jc) and shaun(NEC).
enjoyed my meet up with the girls too, espy yihui's girls. they are crazy! really crazy bunch of ppl! can't believe it, but i actually played hand wrestling with them girls!



a few boo boos in the camp for me, such as i misinterpreted 'good model' as being a gd students during Who's the King. (i actually tried to act cute like those in NARUTO)
well.. they shld haf said it as 'professional model'!

my hosting during anniversary service was a traumatising one!
just before the next segment shuz dashed up to stage to inform tt the mm clip was not working.

shuz: "just play some games... i dun know... just play some games ok?'
gideon: "play games? play wat games!?!?!?'
...... "alright guys, shall we play KALLANG WAVE?"

divine intervention will never be lacking when u are serving the Great and Mighty God.
just after the game the clip was restored! my heartbeats were finally restored to normal...

JUMP concert was totally cool and awesome! everyone went bizzare towards the end of concert.
"tell the world that Jesus lives.. tell the world that, tell the world that..."
"i got a Saviour and He's living in me... WoAH!"

everyone had a crazy and sleepless nite on the last day.
bought my core team to prata house to eat at 2am.
the next morning everyone was clearly super tired.
believe it or not, i actually went with freedy, clarence, junhuang and shirls to watch "Perhaps Love" at Lido straight after camp.
Zhang Xue Yong's vocal was stunning, Jin Chen Wu's looks are dashing! but i just can't comprehend the storyline...

Learnt much from the camp, some i've journalled them down... some which i need time to think thru and then write down. will do it for the coming wk and compile together before keeping a copy for myself and one to shirls so as keep keep my life accountable.

today is a very exciting day for me.

just received a sms from my ex shepherd asking me if i can help her out during her BIG day!

cool! remembered last time we used to say tt how we would attend each other's wedding when we serve God and grow older... now everything is actually coming true!

Such a delight to serve in the family of God!

another exciting thing tt is coming up for me is that i'm going bangkok today!

meeting rayson and freedy at rc later to go changi airport together... so thrilling man...

will bring back with much stories, photos and gifts when i'm back k!

*waving goodbye for now
