Disciple-sheep

Today had the Gap where the youths intercede for the ministry and various committees.

Thank God for the willing hearts who turned up on time, really...

And during the prayer with Elaine and David for sparks, God put in my mind really interesting stuff...

Disciple-sheep...

*Uh?* Why sheep?

Then I saw David and Saul...2 guys who I have been reading about lately...

And then I reflected about the past few days of reading...

Ahh! God revealed something...

Hence I shall name the Mentoring committee as "Disciple-sheep"...

In due time, I'll let my boss know =D

So why David and Saul?

Well for David, as a little kid, he was sent to look after sheep...

Dumb and smelly sheep, what a degrading job...

But God showed me, that He trained David in herding sheep so that He can use him to take over King Saul in future...

David had to fight off lions and bears to protect his sheep...

David could have just let the sheep die but he chose the opposite...he risked his life as a boy...

Who would have thought, that the Almighty God could use this job to raise David up...

The boy, who could be trusted with little, was given even greater things in the future...

David later grew up to become King, and he was a people's king and a God-fearing King...

He was mindful of God in his early years unlike Saul, who sought to kill David out of jealousy...

So you might ask, how does this link to discipleship?

Well, I'm still asking God about this but I know now, that even a small boy like David was willing to risk his life for his sheep, how much more should we give our time and effort to the ones we are looking after and shepherding...

And God, the Great Shepherd of all who gave His one and only Son for the world, faithfully shepherds his children...

Every single one of them...

Including you reading this =)

God is love and God loves. He loves you and me very very much.

Do you dare to believe?

Reflecting on reflections

Had Cross roads today...Speaker spoke on how God speaks...

Interesting points learnt today =)

Was approached by CC staff asking me if I would like to join the leader's session for meta.

I really want to thank God for this opportunity.

Been wondering how I can give more in Crusade when I don't know many people and everyone seems to be cliquish...

I guess this is very real anywhere else and I must take note of this danger...

Anyway, mid-terms are almost over...

Not been a very good time taking tests especially knowing I didn't have the "correct" answers...

But nevertheless, God I will not worry and put all my trust in You!

Lord, You are more precious than silver.

Help me to always bear that in mind.

Just a thought

Spent most of today pondering...

I'm by myself most of my entire life...

At home; In school; In church...

I can safely say 90% of the time I am alone, not counting my roommate sitting behind me now...

Yup, I gave some thought about the people in my life...

My conclusion - I am living this life alone physically cause technically with God, I can't be alone at any time...

And I guess I'm really used to it and that explains why I don't really enjoy fellowships...

except for the ones that I really love and get to be ministered...but then again...

My life's pretty much a lonely, straight line =)

Grace upon Grace

A child-like faith in the everliving One, call upon His Name and He will answer.

Draw near to Him and He will draw nearer.

Those who seek Him with all their hearts will find Him.

Jesus! Jesus! Crazy for Jesus!

Stormy Storm

This specially dedicated to my previous entry...

Today I faced my first storm in Uni life...

In the knowledge that I screwed up my maths CA paper today,

all that came out in the paper was out of my expectations.

And all I had to say was negative stuff and groaning in disappointment,

God I will learn to look to You.

In this storm right now, I know with you in the boat I need not fear.

I know this doesn't mean that I don't have to put in effort on my part,

but more of working in partnership with You.

I cannot do this on my own, not for the next 3 years.

So many things crossed my past few days,

and this happens only when I'm about to have something coming up like leading worship.

Jesus, I pray that You'll carry me through this time,

May I put my trust in nothing but You alone.

In Your most precious and mighty Name

I-spy

Just went a blog-checking-out spree.

It's so interesting to see what has been happening in the lives of others,

what they are going through or their thoughts for the day,

some are eager to share their current craze while others penned down their innermost issues.

Nevertheless, this is a space where one should be free to express oneself.

As I think about this, I cannot help but reflect on my own life.

Where I am right now, where I have walked and where I am heading.

Life is definitely full of why's and doubts, but faith is the element of my life.

I am very sure if one can turn back time, we would have chosen another path, another choice.

While some choose to take the same road, others are still lost in the busyness of life.

Me? I know I am a student right now in the midst of a vicious paper-chase.

But this is temporal.

God will see me through this season, as long as I keep trusting Him.

God has already planned my future, as long as I commit that into His hands.

God has, since Jesus' sacrifice, forgiven me of my sins and past, as long as I believe in Jesus Christ.

God, the same yesterday, today and forever, will always be the same and only God.

Praise be to God, in His honour; power and majesty, who reigns forevermore!

Have you given a thought about your life yet? =)

School and Life and what else?

I suddenly thought of this...

If my life is an equation say f(x) = x^2 + cos(0.5x) ,

then I guess all the people that I knew and know and will know in my life has to intersect with my equation as some point.

This is just a matter of when and how long.

Some friends have been with me since I was really young but now, we're not close anymore.
Some friends that I have just met are great and we're still doing great =)

Some friends whom I really cherished, have faded away.

The 2 equations are now moving further away from one another as time moves along.

It seems almost impossible to see that gap narrow in the future,

but I believe God can do anything according to His will =)

Just a little bit more

Dear God, thank You for everything.

I'll never thank You, until I look back at what You have done for me.

I know You are faithful.

I know You are ever unchanging.

Today...just today...

As you smiled back at me,

it totally lit up my life.

Not that I am cooking up a big hoo-ha,

but that meant a lot to me.

O Lord, let all my desires

be nothing but Your will alone.

And as I walk this narrow road,

in the knowledge of Your great Love,

I will fear nothing. Nothing.

=)

My latest baby =))

Wireless and light plus in-ear buds...

Gives me all the reasons to start running again!

in NTU that is =))
