Sunday Dinner was a Breakthrough for me!
For like the very Rare time, I took a Train to Town after Church Service..
That's a HUGE breakthrough!
That's Dying to MYSELF!
If you know me, I am an EAST MOUNTAIN TORTOISE
hanging aroung barely from Tampines Mall, Century Square & rarely Airport..
High Price to Pay for travelling so far (to town to eat subway, tampines also got),
BUT HIGHER REWARD ( 1 point if you guess it correctly, FELLOWSHIP!)
(By the way, Julee Ah Ma, the Left HUAT picture is for you.. hahaaz =P)
Psalm 133
How Good & Pleasant it is when brothers live together in UNITY!
I duno how much do you rate the unity in cell group, inter-cell group & the JL Tribe..
But what I shared with my girls during processing is that we should not take it for granted that each & every one of us fine in our own personal life.
Let's really take time, make effort to BUILD RELATIONSHIP.
I mean Relationship not talking about weathers, gossipping
but sharing each other's lives with the other.
When in Good times, let us not take each other for Granted. Let us not Assume that things are always gona be so nice & Good. But rather Build.
When in Bad times, *Stick Together Family*
Oh well, If Family dont stick, who does?

.: Michelle's Testimony! :.
There is something that I would like to share. Recently I had fallen quite ill, having high fever, cough, phlegm and headache. Had seen 2 doctors and taken 3 days of medical leave (MC) from work. Just manage to return to work on 8 May 2008 though still feeling unwell but I need to go back to work!
Anyway, I committed quite a serious mistake in my work about 2 weeks ago which got my site manager and myself into some sort of trouble and inconvenience. I felt it was really a stupid mistake or decision which I have made. I apologized to my boss on spot and he say he wanted to kill me! Of course…that was joking but I guess he is quite frustrated over this matter.
When I met my mum for dinner that day, as I was waiting for her.. Again I felt remorseful and thinking that why has my stupidity causes this mistake that shouldn’t have happen! I message my boss again to apologize. And his reply was ‘OK, Do be careful next time. Take good rest as u are still quite sick. See u tomorrow’.
This bothered me because I kept thinking and asking myself WHY do I do such a silly thing? I was DISAPPOINTED with myself! I asked God that my attachment so far has been quite good, the bosses like me and why do such things have to come at such time to jeopardize all the effort I have put in so far! WHY is it so unfair? I know for this, my grade will be mark down and might affect my results eventually.
But God led me to my favourite verse in the bible: Romans 5:3-5. “It states but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the holy spirit, whom he has given to us.”
I reflected and I realize that what will I gain if I keep blaming myself, feeling remorseful, feeling guilty, complaint and whine? The end product is nothing! NOTHING but only a waste of time! Why not I focus on other more important thing! There are still things undone waiting for me to accomplish!
I just wanted to share that when things seem to go wrong or harsh on you…when there is really NOTHIING u can do about it…then STOP harping on the matter! Instead direct ur FOCUS to other things that require ur attention! Is it worth wasting those precious time just by blaming urself, falling into despair or ‘eating worms’? NO! God is a God who provides! When we fall, he will pick us up! He will make a way which we cannot see! He will Bless! I praise God in this situation for he made me learn my mistake and to be more careful in future! It’s alright to fall but U make sure u take the courage to stand up again! And only God gives that courage! Praise the Lord! Amen!
Loves,
Michelle Tan

.: Devotion on the Living Word :.
“Your Word is a Lamp to my feet
And a light for my path.”
~Psalm119:105~
“In the beginning was the word and the word was from God”. It was such a privilege for us today to read the words of God and without knowing his word; you will never be able to understand the will and the heart of God.
As this year of Sabbath begins, Senior Pastor has been leading us into reading a Psalm a day as well as challenging us to memorize the scripture. This has indeed draw me nearer to God and be more committed in reading his word as I follow the direction of the church.
“I have hidden your word in my Heart
so that I might not sin against you.”
~Psalm119:11~
Memorizing the scripture may not be easy for us as we often struggle with our daily busy schedule. We question ourselves,” we have so much report and studies to handle, how can we set aside the time to memorize the verse. Even if I do so, I will surely forget within a week!” But pause and think for a moment, if you don’t start memorizing the word now, there is a dangerous tendency that your mind and heart will be brainwash by the worldly issue. When crisis or storm hit you, you will be like the house built on the sand, collapse and be blow away. By memorizing the word, it serves as a reminder for us to walk in His ways. Even when storm hit, you will stand firm like the house built on the solid ground cos God’s word has filled your heart and it serve as a strong foundation for you. Only when you put the word in your heart, you will be able to meditate on it all day long and be careful to do everything in it.
My prayer for all of you today is that May the Holy Spirit burn in your heart a desire to love God’s word, a commitment to memorize the word. May you grow stronger in the lord and learn to draw strength from God in every situation!
Let’s us all not be only a hearer of the word but let’s be a Doer of the word!
God Bless you!
Jiayou for all those who are having your examination!
Love,
Si Jia

“Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
You have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
Surely I have a delightful inheritance.”
~Psalm 16:5-6~
As I drew nearer and nearer to God this season, I have a clearer vision on the purpose God has for me. At times, most of us were often clouded with uncertainty in the place we were in. We question ourselves, “Is this the right course I’m studying in? God, is this the workplace you want me to be in?”
As for me, whenever obstacles struck in my journey, I will doubt. Perhaps I’m not supposed to be here and that’s the reason why I seem to be struggling with every steps I take. There is so much uncertainty and worry in me that I forget the lot God has assigned for me and was often blinded to see his purpose for me. Without knowing his will, I run in my flesh and soon I grow weary and my spirit man grow faint.
Last sun sermon, as I step forward for the ministry section, God opened up my spiritual eyes. “My child, have you not see the purpose I have for you? It’s not by chance where you are now; it’s me who has assigned you to be in that place.”
Just to share a little background about myself, I’m currently in third year in NTU. My studies are not good at all and I struggle in that area ever since I enter NTU. A lot of things crop up for me, like receiving an Academic warning in my first semester and end up taking 2 less modules compared to my friends. It takes me quite sometimes to get over it and in the end, I received a letter from NTU that actually I didn’t receive an Academic warning but it was too late as I had to take the 2 modules in another semester. Project works always end up not grouping with my click of friends but with students who I’m not familiar with. Applying for environmental companies for my attachment but couldn’t get in and through second opting; I end up in a construction company and have to travel all the way to Paya Lebar every morning. I was poor in structural work and it was a struggle to catch up with the Engineers there. Was all this a joke, I question God. But it’s definitely not because God designed it to be this way…
During the ministry section, I sense such a strong affirmation from God that he has already blessed and plan my future and there is no need to be worry about it. What he wants me to undergo now is because he is more interested in building up my character for the future he has for me. It is not by chance that I have to go through all these; it is because every time I struggle through this period, I get closer to God one step bigger. I learn more on trusting him and following his will. God has assigned us our portion. It is only when we understand this purpose, we can make use of where we are to fulfil his will and plan for us!
God bless you,
Si Jia
