I am a Christ follower.
I only have one God and His name is Jesus.
He died for my sins, He forgave all wrong I did, He watch over me every day, He listens to me and help with all my worries, He made so many promises to me that we all know He'll keep, He said He has great plans for me and I believe Him. And He gave me new life. As if it wasn't enough, he gave me an eternal life.
My God is a good God.
And He will be my only God.
My heart and soul belongs to Him alone.
No matter how many joss sticks you make me hold, and no matter how many Chinese scriptures you make me read, it will not change the fact that I believe in my God only. These acts will not make me stray away from my God.
In fact, you have just reminded me again that I belong to the creator.
I don't know what has blinded you from seeing my faith and the changes in me all along, but I pray there will come a day when all that I do, I do it for God. All of my body and actions and will, will be for His glory. And when the time comes, I pray that you will not think that God robbed you of your daughter. Because the truth is, God just gave you a better me.
My God is good, I pray that you can see it too.
God bless.

Above all things, there is God's Love
This afternoon as I was on my way to church, I walked pass a lifegroup who were having a dispute on the road side. I overheard their conversation. It went something like "if you are not serious about the lifegroup then get out."
Throughout service, I was praying for this lifegroup that may God be the center of their group. Let God be the glue so that they can become a strong lifegroup and as a group, go out there and impact lives of other people around them. We are called a life group because we share life together, because we do life together. No matter how much wrong someone had done to you, we should love one another because love covers a multitude of sins. God shall be our judge, and let us not condemn one another. Sinners, who are we to judge other sinners? Let us be filled with God's love, and be sensitive to his still small voice and not focusing on our thoughts, our views, our feelings. Be so close to god that whatever we are thinking is what God is thinking too. For so long, God has been persistent, God has been passionate, God has been patient. We should not, under any circumstances give up on any of our brothers and sisters because God never gave up on us. Instead, we should pray.
Concerning the topic of being serious, there were many believers who had started out this relationship with God not seriously. I am one. There are people who came to test God, but God prevails, and they now acknowledged God as their savior. There are people who come to church to socialize because of friends, or because they are told to come. But ultimately, I believe that God wants His beloved people to be close to Him. Ultimately, God has a plan for them to somehow be directed towards the way of God so that they can come to a true relationship with Christ, to experience God for themselves in His timings. To know our God is really a good God.
I was asking God, why did He show this to me. It affected me quite badly, I was stunned the rest of my journey to church. Then God helped me to reflect on my lifegroup.
God placed us in the same group with a plan in mind. You are not randomly assembled, God put in a lot of thoughts in it. Coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous. And I love my lifegroup, thank God for them.
A lifegroup do life together, we are accountable for one another's life and walk with God. We strengthen one another, we love one another, we pray for one another. When a LG is facing troubles or when a member is facing difficulties, we pray. To let God be the glue for us and let not the devils succeed in breaking our spirits.
When we gather and pray, the devils will flee. How often should I pray? Once a week? Once a day? Nope. God says every time you think of it, you pray. Be it before a meal, during your shower, or when you are about to sleep. Be it for a worry, for a blessing, or healing, when it comes to your mind you pray. It could be a silent prayer in your heart, but don't worry because He hears your prayers. Let us follow God's way, and not do church with our plans but His alone. Love His people His way.
The chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. The church is only as strong as it's weakest member and weakest lifegroup. A strong lifegroup grows, bear fruits and multiply.
Let us honor God with our lives and treat other people the way you know that Jesus would treat them.
God bless His church and His people. And let God help us to become the persons He intended us to be when He brought us into the world.

RE: I love Saturdays
Our church had a new sermon series this month.
It's called 'The Jesus, I never knew'.
It is such an amazing and insightful series.
Had really learnt so much of the characteristics of Jesus,
and was convicted once again that God is good.
Is Jesus Rude?
Is Jesus Divisive?
Is Jesus Violent?
You can download the audio online sermons from this link and hear for yourself.
A little bit of insights to see what God sees and becoming little Christ,
then spread his glory to all of the world.
God is good.
And the past week, there were 2 worship songs that is stuck in my head.
The Alabaster Jar
and Till I see you
Have a wonderful spirit filled time with God.
After service, we went out for a very yummy dinner.
=] at Steakout.
It's in Bras Besar, the ground level of Victoria Hotel.
Been there a few times, and it is as awesome as always.
I have ordered a Sirloin steak with red wine sauce, medium.
With onion rings and garlic spaghetti.
Their garlic spaghetti is delicious!
But I find their onion rings a bit too doughy, and a bit too crispy.
The sound it makes while eating this is very unladylike,
shouldn't eat this if you are trying to impression someone with your good manners.
hahaha...
I've got a shaky hand here, but you can still see the beautiful pink blush of the cut.
My friend got a medium steak too but his was a little redder and bloodier.
John's plate. He took the picture. (Just saying)
Another one of my friend, Ken ordered a T-bone steak, medium rare.
After I took my take of his food, he shook his head at me and got my phone to take his take.
What's with guys and thinking that they have to have the overview of the entire plate????
His feedback after the meal.
I wasn't sure what's the problem here,
but he said the the steak wasn't thaw properly
and thus, the meat around the bone is still uncooked.
But I still think it is awesomely delicious anyways.
Ken being sisterly.
It's great to have good company and good food. =]
They have chicken, duck steak and pasta in their menu as well.
We have a friend in our group whose a vegetarian, they whipped out a vegetarian spaghetti for him.
Really thoughtful of them, but it seems like it wasn't very nice. (My friend didn't finish them.)
Of course, the rest of us cleared our plates.
After that, we went for desserts in Bugis. Just a few streets down.
Choosing what to eat is serious business.
Really thank God for this wonderful people in the LG. =]

God is Love.
Heard this from a guest speaker some time ago.
And it really fills me with pride and joy, that I am a child of God.
And God Said, “No”
By: Claudia Minden Weisz
I asked God to take away my pride,
And God said, “No.”
He said it is not for Him to take away,
but for me to give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,
And God said, “No.”
He said her spirit is whole,
Her body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience,
And God said, “No.”
He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation,
it isn’t granted, it’s earned.
I asked God to give me happiness,
And God said, “No.”
He said He gives blessings,
Happiness is up to me.
I asked God to spare me pain,
And God said, “No.”
He said, “Suffering draws you apart from worldly
cares and brings you closer to Me.”
I asked God to make my spirit grow,
And God said, “No.”
He said I must grow on my own,
but He will prune me to make me fruitful.
I asked God if He loved me,
And God said, “Yes.”
He gave me His only Son who died for me,
and I will be in Heaven someday because I believe.
I asked God to help me love others,
as much as He loves me.
And God said,
“Ah, finally you have the idea.”
This is who God, our Father, is.
God is love.
He always wants the best for us.
And the truth is, He is the best.
God bless you, who have yet to know who God truly is.
You have to experience Him yourself.
Because no matter how much you read or heard others testimonies,
you will never know how overwhelming His love is until you see it for yourself.
And God says, those who seek shall find.
If you seek God, He'll reveal Himself to you.
God bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ.
For this is a tough journey.
Consistent battling with our sinful nature and the worldly temptations.
Mark 13:13
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

God's peace upon me
I overslept this morning.
Normaly, I would have taken a taxi to rush to work,
but as I was pushing myself off the bed and preparing for work,
something in me just prompt me to take the usual route.
I wasn't rushing to get out of the door too,
Not sure why but I didn't think that I need to be in a hurry.
From home to the nearest bustop at my work place is 4 bustops.
Around 20 mins, including the walk to the bustop,
the waiting time for the bus and morning traffic jams around the area.
Also the company is located deep inside the industrial park, very ulu area,
walking in takes another 20-30 mins.
The total time going to work takes around 40-50 mins.
I got out of the house at 7.50AM,
need to reach the company and slide my card before 8.30AM.
40 mins for the trip.
Actually 39 mins to be exact.
If we slide in at 8.30AM, we will be counted as late.
So 8.29AM or before.
I really shouldn't have taken the chance and just take the taxi.
Like normal working adults, being late is bad for records.
And my salary is on the line.
I can't describe how it feels to be so calm when you really shouldn't.
But I can definately say that this peace is not from me.
It is from something within me, from the Holy Spirit, from God.
I'm telling you it must be God.
God is with me from the time He opened my eyes to the alarm clock that didn't go off.
God is with me as I tried to reason why I should be taking the taxi as I walked towards the bustop.
God is smiling upon me as I decided to keep faith and carry on.
God's peace is with me as he walked beside me on my way to the company.
His grace is upon me, and I truly believed that he had slowed down the time so that I get to work on time.
Did not need to run.
Did not need to jay walk, but wait for the red light to turn green.
I slide my card at 8.28AM.
Just on time, and just like how He had planned.
This is just a small thing in everyday life.
But no matter how small your worry is, and no matter how small what you care about,
God knows it and He understands it.
He cares for what you care.
Have some faith!
And you'll see how amazing God's grace is.
=]
God Blessed
God Bless
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6, 7 NLT)
