Fruitful day!!!

Hi blog, it's really been sometime since I've written something here. I'll do my best to record things or events which happened in my life in you as often as possible.Had a rather short rest today. Nevertheless, I have no regrets over the short rest...

Woke up at about 5am and thought was suppose to help out my mum but my dad came back. I actually wanted to continue sleeping but thank God that I did not. Reason? I was praying... but before that, I was watching cartoons... Hehehe... I love cartoons; they never die no matter what...

Alright, back to the events of the day... Morning prayer. Wow... it was really great and awesome, seeking God and lifting the entire day before it creeps off. It was a wonderful experience. I do not want to ever lose this relationship with God. This is the most precious time and relationship. First God, then parents, my life, then family... After that, it'll come to others... Not that I am selfish, to place myself third. Without taking care of myself, how can I ever be a good steward for God?It's been weeks since I last experienced God in the morning. I believe it was a desire within me that has been longing for the experience I've had during my 20months in Bible school. I will never forget that experiences I've had during bible school. The very tangible presence of God. Even right at home, I could worship God and praise Him all day. It's so awesome.

Time really flies but I am still in awe of how god came into my life and how He saved me. How He allow things to happen to me and how He turns my mourning into dancing. If there's a chance, I'd like to write a book about my life; how I got to know God and how Jesus revealed Himself to me and all the wonderful things He's done for me.

A little History of myself:

When I think about the time, in year 2001, how I've let Him down by leaving the Church. I must have hurt Him alot. To think of how He needlessly gave His precious life, shed His precious blood on the cross of Calvary... I felt that I have let Him down... but thank God that on July 2002, I came back to Church. Tell you the truth, when I got back, I was like lost in the crowd. I was totally lost and felt really lousy but glory to God. He brings my setback to be my comeback. He never leave me nor forsaken me. Through His servant, Rev Mike Connell, I was delivered by His outstretched arms and am back to where I really belong.After returning to Church, I felt a call to go Bible school. I felt as if God is challenging me to go Bible school. When I felt that calling, I told my Pastor, Pastor Aries and I really thank God for Him. If not for Pastor Aries and God, I'd not even be back in Church and would have led a lousy, defeated, broken life and lost my purpose forever.

My Background:

I came from a taoist/ buddhist family. I really don't know how to classify them but it's true... A mixture... Nevertheless, I was never in a Christian family or background. There are a couple of Christians/ Catholics in my family; relatives wise. Other than that, I'm just like most chinese/ asians... Brought up in a traditional buddhist/ taoist background.

Back on track:
Why these history and background? Well, I really thank God for working out a miracle in my life! Here I am, a first generation Christian in my entire family, with parents who were against me being a Christian and tried to do funny things when I become one. Who would have thought that my parents were the VERY ONE who would have PAID NOT JUST A MONTH, TWO MONTHS OR A YEAR for my entire education in Bible School BUT FOR A WHOPPING TWO FULL YEARS of school fees, which cost about Singapore dollar $3000 + Pocket money + Money to pay for the books + Transportation fees + Clothings + Laptop (about $4K) + Mobilephone bills + Internet Cable Fees etc... Who would have been able to change my parent's heart and bless me with these? Amazing eh? Not true? Try asing my parents and friends... :)

Okay, enough of those. Yup, for today... I enjoyed every single moment of this day. First and foremost, that I was able to experience God and by pacing Him first in life, things will be added onto me. I felt really blessed.

Events that happened:

I had an appointment with the Orthopaedic deptartment in SGH (Singapore General Hospital). Initally, I was thinking of transferring myself to Tan Tock Seng Hospital if they are not going to tell what is wrong with my feet but God did not intend that to happen. In fact, the problem was found out. I needed a repair n my Broustrum area (Hope I did not spell wrongly).

Before the consultation, I dropped my phone and did not know about it until a girl picked up my phone and returned it to me. If she did not do it, I would have suffer a lost. Then I was reminded by Holy Spirit that I prayed a prayer of protection over my life, my family and properties. God never fails. God protects, yes, even individual's possessions!Now that the problem is diagnosed, at least I know what is wrong rather than to waste money on trips, going in and out of the hospital. It's ever fun!

Out of SGH... Down to Plaza Singapura:

Man, it's been a real long time before I went to the City area. Did not have that much of time nor did I want to go town so much. Namely, I did not want to spend much as my parents do not earn much. Am from an average income family background. There were times I was not given money to pay for my books/ school fees/ have money to spend. So... That's a few reasons...Wow, was reading Rev Ulf's book again.

When I hit Plaza Singapura, aka PS, I went to get tickets for a Thai movie, Shutters. then lunch at Macdonalds. Strange thing... Don't know why a girl (not bad looking) kept looking at my direction. When I looked back, she looked at me and turned away. Hehehe... Wonder what's wrong..

Anyway, Shutter is a horror movie but was not afraid of it nor was I frighten during the show. It was not a bad show but predictable. Anyway, finally had a chance to watch a show with Andrea; a sister in Christ who have backslidden. Long story...

After the show, I met ZiJian (Church member), HuiPing (Secondary school friend), Alvin (ex-SOT classmate) and to my wildest dream, Kelvin! The one who composed the song "My Last Love Song". Managed to take the step to go forth to talk to him as I wasn't dead sure that it was him there. Kind of sad to have met two backsliders in a day. I am very sad to know the fact that Kelvin actually renounced God and also... started sleeping with another girl... :( What can I say? Who am I to comment? I do not want to compromise nor do I want to lose a friend like him. I'd rather take some time to get to know him before anything starts.

I'd consider today a very fruitful day. At least, it's not in vain in the entire day's "program". Tomorrow, I'll be going for job interviews. I do pray that I would get the kind of jobs which I coud impact lives... Tomorrow will be a much more adventurous day with much greater events coming up... :)I hope that whoever reads this will be blessed.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. I will overcome the devil by the blood of the lamb and the word of Testimony. My life is a testimony to all that God is indeed GOOD and He will NEVER FAIL!
