Charge Up!

last night while laying on my bed,
i had a sudden fear that i won't be able to take care of my new 'sheep'.
will i b able to feed her?
will i b able to give wateva her spiritual soul needs?
how & where should i start from?
ya da ya da ya da.........

then suddenly,
i think God change my thought completely.
the story of Gideon came upon me.
& the sudden confidence came suddenly.
it was a weird feeling...
but bcoz of this, i was able to sleep well.

today's oral test was a blast!
i was on topics that i was very familiar on!!!
music performances & cultural performances.
it was really GOD who guided me through!
not only He guided my answers clearly,
He also preserved my health.
during the test, i felt that my fever, headache & cough were gone!!!!
though it came back after tt. lol....
hope i will pass the english test to enter the university!!!

seems like a lot is coming.
i am thrilled at the same time afraid.
preserve on Jo!

2 Breakthroughs in a day!

hardly see this word breakthrough in my post right?
LOL.
i feel so so fruitful yesterday. ^^

yesterday woke up to meet joyce for a time of lunch & teaching. (a very good teaching btw!)
joyce bought for me a very NICE dress & treated to lunch~
great to have a shepherd who is single & earns alot. LOL!!!!!! jk!!!
anyway,
had a gd time talking to joyce about my recent decision & learning to stop whining to her.
i was then taught abt Gideon story.
title of the teaching, 'Gideon & the power of weakness'

God loves to do the Gideon...
'The Gideon' is where God takes weak, humble, sometimes fearful people and uses them to do wonderful things...
the best victories often come when we are weakest.


i experience my victories yesterday.
i was ask to pray n lead for heart preparation & honestly i have NO idea what to sing & pray abt.
i knw i wanted to make the time a fruitful one where all of us really come & prepare our heart.
then i began to share abt Gideon story to the group.
& we all started to pray.
there was no guitar when we sang,
there was no guitar when we started to pray.
it was a little hard going at 1st.
i just pray what i felt God wanted me to say.
during dinner time,
Abigail told me that i have breakthrough in my prayer.
i was surprise coz honestly i can't remember what i prayed but i admit that all along i can't pray well in words.
So, 1st experience of breakthrough! ^^

pnw was a blast! at least to me. :)
not because of the solo part i gotta play with jovin
but i knw i gave my best worship to God!
while playing percussion,
i played according to what i felt from the HS.
i duno whether it was good or bad,
i only know that the end of the playing,
i told God, "I have give my all already & i really enjoy worshiping You. Thanks!"
jovin & pengs helped me alot too. ^^ (Thanks to eugene for coming down on monday to teach & guide me!!!!)
& yes, my fear didn't come.
instead i played well.
thanks to all who told me coz i can confirm that nw, i didn't make the wrong choice to learn percussion all over again!
2nd breakthrough!

my morning was spent listening to pnw songs.
not for tml's ss songs~
& i come across a song that i was very ministered by,

You saw me
Your glory fills the heavens
Your glory fills the earth
Still You chose surrender
You gave Yourself for me

God of my salvation
Hope of righteousness
You paid the price of freedom
You took a lonely cross

Bless the Lord always
Bless Your holy Name

And You saw me
When You took a crown of thorns
And Your blood washed over me
And You loved me
Through the nails that You bore
And Your blood washes over me

Amazing like no other
Grace without an end
As Your word had promised
You died and rose again


the joy of being a Christian.
life is tough but with this relationship, everyday is a new day. :)

i slept only @ 3am.
just couldn't get to sleep. (had a very bad flu too..)
& i dun understand y.

the only thing i could recall is,
during altar call how i felt God impress something in my heart so much.
i even had to double confirm about the impression.
He wanted me to talk to someone.
telling her that He wants to grow her,
He wants to use her,
He wants to open the gate of blessings into her life,
He wants me to tell her that its time to stop thinking so lowly of herself,
"its only when we are weak, will He then make us strong"
1st time in my life, i just wanted to listen to what He wants me convey.
with all the loud music around me, i only wanted to hear from Him.
i was afraid to approach this sister.
when altar call was about to end,
i told God, "that's it. i am so going to walk to her & tell her what i felt from you"
feeling so awkward, i walk to her.
i told her what God told me.
i told her how God wana use her in her life.
& i prayed for her.

i felt so greatly used. :)

Jesus only start his ministry @ 33yrs old. (i hope i am right in saying this)
i've been in church serving for 5-6yrs & my breakthroughs in life is so little.
shared to jolene & pengs yesterday during lunch that i can't help it but to feel sad.
when will i see big breakthroughs?
when will i see fruits in my life?
i am not complaining but its just thoughts in me or rather i desire for all these.

i am not good in teaching,
i am not good in speech,
i duno how to counsel people using the word,
i dun have a good set of vocals,
yet......
God used me to lead & teach a group of people,
He use me to counsel people b4,
He use me to sing for Him.
& i want more of & from Him!

already 23,
10 more yrs,
i am just excited to see what is coming my way.
in singapore or out of singapore.

this is the main reason why i want to serve.

i read a lovely story about the smell of rain. (not korean rain)

A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery. Her husband, David, held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news.

That afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only 24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency Cesarean to deliver couple's new daughter, Dana Lu Blessing.

At 8 inches long and weighing only one pound nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature. Still, the doctor's soft words dropped like bombs.
Photobucket
"I don't think she's going to make it," he said, as kindly as he could.

"There's only a 10-percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one"

Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor described the devastating problems Dana would likely face if she survived.
Photobucket
She would never walk, she would never talk, she would probably be blind, and she would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation, and on and on.

"No! No!" was all Diana could say.

She and David, with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long dreamed of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four. Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away But as those first days passed, a new agony set in for David and Diana. Because Dana's underdeveloped nervous system was essentially 'raw', the lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort, so they couldn't even cradle their tiny baby girl against their chests to offer the strength of their love.

All they could do, as Dana struggled alone beneath the ultraviolet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray that God would stay close to their precious little girl.

There was never a moment when Dana suddenly grew stronger.

But as the weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there. At last, when Dana turned two months old. her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time. And two months later, though doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero, Dana went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted.

Five years later, when Dana was a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray eyes and an unquenchable zest for life. She showed no signs whatsoever of any mental or physical impairment. Simply, she was everything a little girl can be and more. But that happy ending is far from the end of her story.
Photobucket
One blistering afternoon in the summer of 1996 near her home in Irving, Texas, Dana was sitting in her mother's lap in the bleachers of a local ball park where her brother Dustin's baseball team was practicing.

As always, Dana was chattering nonstop with her mother and several other adults sitting nearby when she suddenly fell silent. Hugging her arms across her chest, little Dana asked, "Do you smell that?"

Smelling the air and detecting the approach of a thunderstorm, Diana replied, "Yes, it smells like rain."

Dana closed her eyes and again asked, "Do you smell that?"

Once again, her mother replied, "Yes, I think we're about to get wet. It smells like rain."
Still caught in the moment, Dana shook her head, patted her thin shoulders with her small hands and loudly announced,
"No, it smells like Him.

It smells like God when you lay your head on His chest."

Tears blurred Diana's eyes as Dana happily hopped down to play with the other children.

Before the rains came, her daughter's words confirmed what Diana and all the members of the extended Blessing family had known, at least in their hearts, all along. During those long days and nights of her first two months of her life, when her nerves were too sensitive for them to touch her, God was holding Dana on His chest and it is His loving scent that she remembers so well.
