Moving!

Hi All,

I will be moving to http://jasonchua.tumblr.com

Thanks..

Jason Chua

Through Christ...I can do all things

When the darkness tries to hide my way

Your word is the light that guides my faith

I will trust in You

I will trust in You

When my heart is weak and I've lost my way

I will lift up my eyes and choose to say

I will trust in You

I will trust in You

I can do all things through Christ

I can move a mountain

If You are the strength of my life

I can do all things through Christ

If You are the strength of my life

In Your presence

I find strength renewed

I find courage to stand and a hope that is new

I will trust in You

I will trust in You

I can do all things through Christ

I can move a mountain

If You are the strength of my life

I can do all things through Christ

If You are the strength

Whatever trials come my way

I will worship You always

Forever trust in Your unfailing love

Whenever doubt and fear press in

I still hear Your voice within

Forever trust in Your unfailing love

A New Chapter Begins...

Finally, the day has come..

On the 31st May, my last service in Generations. 8 years of my life spent in there.

What is Generations to me..? (A question that PD asked in the Zone Leaders Retreat @ Batam)

Generations is...
1) My entire growing up life as a Christian..
2) My second family
3) My youth
4) My memories
5) My home

What are some things/meeting/memories/moments that I will never forget in Cornerstone/Generations?

1) The day that I received Jesus to my life on the 19th March 2000...

2) The day I got baptized at ECP on the 29th May 2000..

3) The Early Morning Prayer on Sunday. (The place where I learn and grew most spiritually)

4) All the toilets in Cornerstone! (That was my training ground..)

5) The tears-soaked altar area (changed to new already)

6) The stage that I stand before a generation of young people to lead them in Praise and Worship..

7) Meeting with Pastor Allen Claycomb (Now that You're Near worship version)

8) Warriors (All my childhood Christian friends.. gonna miss all of you)

9) My pandan cake birthday celebration & good-looked hair gel as a birthday present (I think Karen Mok's idea)

10) First Generations meeting @ Roxy Hotel (Helps was my ministry!)

11) E21 Chalet at Changi (Where JJ and I become ENEMIES!)

12) 5 Bible Studies @ Rhustik with Peh Han (My first Shepherd! Thanks Peh!)

13) Generations 1st Anniversary (Where Sabby and me lead worship together for the first time)

14) All the ministry/word of prophecy/experience/encounters with God @ the Auditorium (Nothing can take all these away..)

15) Get Real Youth camp! (Our very first youth camp...Where all the romance started..)

16) Enlisted Youth Camp! (Camp that is full of God)

17) Press On Youth Camp! (Where our first short film action promos was filmed & Minghui!)

18) Operations 24/7 Youth Camp (Where the sequel of the short film promos continued!)

19) Like Crazy Youth Camp (Where the 'tua kang' aka 'Big Hole' camp com left us!)

20) Saturate Youth Camp (One of the most powerful youth camp ever.. Pastor Pat my hero!)

21) Audacious Youth Camp (Where we have to climb up the HILL OF SINGAPORE!)

22) Generations Service 31st May 2009 (One of the best and most heartfelt youth service ever.)

Even as we embark on a new journey, all this will be as a memorial stone that will always remind us of God's faithfulness and goodness. To see how God can use 49 common looking young people 8 years ago, to make an impact to the schools and the youth of this nation.

If God did it 8 years ago, God can do it again.. Because He is the same yesterday, today and forever. A new chapter have started, a new day have come, thank God for the great things He did in the past 8 years. But I believe greater things is ahead for both Generations & TheCity.

God..Do it again just as you did it in the days of my youth!

Families Transformation

God has placed in my heart a vision to see families transformed through the raising up of youth to take up the responsibility to see their family saved. Not just saved, but undergo transformation and reconciliation.

I was at my mum and her twin sister's (my auntie) 60th lunar birthday celebration yesterday. Most of the people invited are my mum's immediate family and my uncle's immediate family.

It was a very funny and emotional moment for some of my relatives and cousins because the whole thing was very orchestrated and old school. My mum's eldest brother conducted us to clap and cheer etc... it was really funny...

Just a little background on why they decided to organize the celebration:

Both my mum and my auntie has nose cancer and the purpose of the celebration was to 'reunite' as a family and to allow them to experience care, love and support.

My auntie's condition is worse than my mum's as the cancer cells have already spread to the other parts of her head such as brain, eyes which has affected her eyesight, hearing, speaking etc.. As for my mum, her condition is stable and controlled.

It was rather heartbreaking to see my auntie's current condition. I rememher how she took care of me when I stayed over at her house during school holidays, fed me when I was a toddler etc.. She seems so different now...

When I went over to encourage her by asking her not to think too much and to be more positive and cheerful, she responded by 'sayanging' my face with tears in her eyes telling me to take care and thanked me for consoling her.

At that point my heart broke and I could somehow feel the pain, the heartache, the loneliness, the cries in her heart. She wasn't happy, being so lonely in the last few moments of her life.

God just spoke to me at that moment, giving me a vision to raise up youth, as young as they may be to be people who repair relationships. To have a burden for their families and stop thinking that their parents are hard to reach because of 'generation gaps'.

I personally made this mistake and i think many other people do too. We wait till a crisis sets in then we learn to treasure and cherish. The Law did not say that we should honor our father and mother when they are in crisis, in fact we have to honor them the very day when we receive Jesus into our hearts.

We ought to be a wholesome Christians, not just to be a testimony and a light to our friends, but to our family as well. What good if you can save all your friends in the world, but yet leaving your loved ones and close ones dying and going towards hell?

For the fact that they carried us in their wombs for 9 months, spent 18 years of raising us up by working so hard to give us education, shelter and food. Will you make a difference in your home and your families just by showing them the kindness and love that you received from Christ. And I believe through love, your families will not just be saved, but transformed.

Help us to see...

In The Bleak Midwinter

Its a beautiful old song. Enjoy =)

In the bleak midwinter
Frost wind made moan
Earth stood
Hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago

Our god
Heaven cannot hold him
Nor earth sustain
Heaven and Earth
Shall flee away
When he comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter
A stable place sufficed
The lord God almighty
Jesus Christ

Angels and archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved
With a kiss

What can I give him
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet
What I can I give him
Give my heart

Live with no regrets

I realize you really need to have inspiration to post anything on blogs. Not like some people who can blog with such creativity that no body will ever understand unless the blogger explain to you what they are blogging about, or some blog about every single detail and movement such as they go toilet, then flush the toilet and then brush their teeth and is goes on and on. LOL

Have been quite an eventful pass 2 to 3 weeks due to:
1) New Church Plant - We go for meeting after another. Well, as much as it can be really tiring and draining at times, but the more we plan and pray and discuss, the more excited we become. This is a God thing and I count myself a privilege to be a part of it. =)

2) Loudfest - It was an awesome conference. By far the best conference ever attended in my entire life as a Christian. It causes me to think out of the box and breaking my mindset. God spoke so much to me personally in this conference compare to the all that He spoke to me from January till the day of the conference. Simply Awesome.

3) Work - 'Coincidentally', my dad's company also went through a series of transition. Changing of a bigger management and become a part of a bigger group call the UMW. Much planning to do as well because we will be moving from Bukit Timah to Jurong. Preparing to have a warehouse to keep stock of Pipes, Fittings & Flanges (if you don't know what is it, go google it.).

So exciting!!! But after all, how much can a human body exert himself to do all these. Need to find my place of rest in God and to be satisfied in His presence. If you happen to drop by here, please do me 1 favor to take 1 min of your prayer time to pray for me. I really need it and I thank you in advance. =)

Have been thinking of the decision I have made in life.. Out of 100%, 60% was a bad decision. And often times will feel kind of regret in the decision that I made. But some hard decision that I made I know it is from God and it a right decision, but the after effect of it is kind of tormenting. LOL

As much as it is difficult, I know God will honor the fact that we obeyed Him and He will take responsible of the decision we make. And whatever outcome... good or bad, I will still trust Him and praise Him, and never stop loving Him... Live life with no regrets..

Simply to the Cross I cling

Can You Find God In This Post??

GOD

Sometimes you just need to take the initiative and effort to find it like this. =)

Why people willing to pay for Branded Stuff!!?

The reason why LV bags are LV bags and people are willing to pay a high price to buy them even though the looks of it is simple and normal is because of their QUALITY. The kind of leather and skin they use and minimum requirement of material they use to make the bag are of top QUALITY.

In order to be what they are, they have to pass a series of test and ISO procedure. So there is a STANDARD to meet. If the bag can't meet the STANDARD, means that they are rejected (of course we dont reject people in the kingdom, we call it disqualify. LOL).

God spoke to me in regards to my Zone level. I want my people to be BRANDED! (By fire) As much as we look so normal and simple, crazy and loud and irritating at times, but people out in the world when they looked at us, they must say of us, "These guys are not cheap stuff or fake or superficial. They are BRANDED! Got SUBSTANCES and QUALITY!"

Before we can be under the category of QUALITY and BRANDED, we must first meet the STANDARDS which is all in the word of God and also our daily living.

If we want the world to begin to see 'Church' differently in Singapore, there must be STANDARDS & QUALITY. Excellence! =)

Most of these points are mainly from personal point of view through what God spoke me through the conference. Hopefully it can encourage and challenge you to expect great things in this new thing God is doing.

"My King" - Dr. S. M. Lockridge

My King was born King. The Bible says He’s a Seven Way King.

He’s the King of the Jews – that’s a racial King. He’s the King of Israel – that’s a National King. He’s the King of righteousness. He’s the King of the ages. He’s the King of Heaven. He’s the King of glory. He’s the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords. Now that’s my King. Well I wonder if you know Him. Do you know Him? Don’t try to mislead me. Do you know my King?

David said the Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament show His handiwork. My King is the only one whom there are no means of measure can define His limitless love. No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shore of supplies. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing.

Well, well, He’s enduringly strong. He’s entirely sincere. He’s eternally steadfast. He’s immortally graceful. He’s imperially powerful. He’s impartially merciful. That’s my King.

He’s God’s Son. He’s the sinner’s saviour. He’s the centrepiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He’s august. He’s unique. He’s unparalleled. He’s unprecedented. He’s supreme. He’s pre-eminent.

Well, He’s the loftiest idea in literature. He’s the highest personality in philosophy. He’s the supreme problem in high criticism. He’s the fundamental doctrine of proved theology. He’s the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That’s my King.

He’s the miracle of the age. He’s the superlative of everything good that you choose to call Him. Well, He’s the only one able to supply all of our needs simultaneously. He supplies strength for the weak.

He’s available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He’s strong God and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleanses the lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharged debtors. He delivers the captives.

He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent and He beautifies the meek. Do you know Him?

Well, my King is the key of knowledge. He’s the wellspring of wisdom. He’s the doorway of deliverance. He’s the pathway of peace. He’s the roadway of righteousness. He’s the highway of holiness. He’s the gateway of glory.

He’s the master of the mighty. He’s the captain of the conquerors. He’s the head of the heroes. He’s the leader of the legislatures. He’s the overseer of the overcomers. He’s the governor of governors. He’s the prince of princes.

He’s the King of kings and He’s the Lord of lords. That’s my King. Yeah. Yeah. That’s my King. My King, yeah.

His office is manifold. His promise is sure. His light is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His Word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

Well. I wish I could describe Him to you, but He’s indescribable. Yes. He’s incomprehensible. He’s invincible. He’s irresistible.

I’m coming to tell you, the heavens of heavens cannot contain Him, let alone a man explaining Him. You can’t get Him out of your mind. You can’t get Him off of your hands. You can’t outlive Him and you can’t live without Him.

Well, Pharisees couldn’t stand Him, but they found out they couldn’t stop Him. Pilot couldn’t find any fault in Him. The witnesses couldn’t get their testimonies to agree. Herod couldn’t kill Him. Death couldn’t handle Him and the grave couldn’t hold Him. That’s my King. Yeah.

He always has been and He always will be. I’m talking about He had no predecessor and He’ll have no successor. There was nobody before Him and there’ll be nobody after Him. You can’t impeach Him and He’s not going to resign. That’s my King! That’s my King!

Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Well, all the power belongs to my King. We’re around here talking about black power and white power and green power, but it’s God’s power. Thine is the power. Yeah.

And the glory. We try to get prestige and honour and glory for ourselves, but the glory is all His. Yes. Thine is the Kingdom and the power and glory, forever and ever and ever and ever.

How long is that? And ever and ever and ever and ever. And when you get through with all of the evers, then, Amen.

—Dr. S. M. Lockridge

My Conviction & Confession is....

JESUS...

I don't understand why.. But still I will trust You..

I don't know where You are taking me from here.. But still I will follow You..

Jesus lead me on...

Who will help them?

I was sitting at Tampines CPF Macdonald one night, just chilling and relaxing and enjoying my favorite ICE COLD ICE TEA, doing some reflection on my LIFE and FUTURE.. Then suddenly a man walked in and he caught my attention.

By his appearance, I can see that he is 'abnormal', very different from the people around him. He is in his mid 30s, slightly obese, had an operation around his mouth, bald headed. So I just observed him as I know God is going to speak to me...

So he found himself a sit and sat down there unpacking his bag that was loaded with food. And the food that he brought out was like bought over a few days and kept it in his bag for a few nights kind. And anyway it was Bak Chor Mee...

So as he started eating the bak chor mee in Macdonald, the managers came over and stop him from eating and tell him not to eat there. He didn't respond in a way that I thought he would by complaining and retaliate.

He just sulk with disappointment, looked like a child who got disappointed when he was promised something and but it was not fulfilled kind of look. (You know what I mean?)

He started doing funny actions, taking out his wallet and took a stack of bus tickets and start smelling and rubbing against his nose.. Suddenly, I felt a grieve that is not my own. And I heard God spoke to me saying, "He is one of my son, whom I have created in my own image."

After that, I decided to go get a drink for him and I went over to ask him if he wants a drink, and he just nod his head. I realize he cannot speak because of the operation that he had on mouth that leave a scar all the way to his chin.

I told the manager to get him a drink and I will pay. She responded that better not buy any thing that is too sweet because he got diabetes. She said also he had been coming here often and just to sit there alone and sleep at times.

At times he will just sit there urine on his pants and they have to clean up for him. So I got him a diet coke and just talk to him a bit but all he can do is to nod his head..

I walked back to my seat, feeling helpless.. saw the need of 1 person, yet I cannot do anything about it. An abnormal person, but also someone whom God created in His own image, He died for on the cross, He called him His son and loved him... all I can do is to buy him a DIET COKE?

Out from this helplessness, there also came a drive that rises from the inside. I told God in my heart, I want to earn a lot a lot a lot a lot of money...I want to work harder.. I will not let setbacks to discourage me from achieving high places in my workplace...

I want to do more than just buying a DIET COKE! I want to meet their needs, I want to help them by providing for them, giving them a place of refuge, a home, a family, a place where they can be joined back with our Heavenly Father whom He call them sons and daughters.

I want to build a building around the world, that will bring all those who are in need, all those who are poor, all those who are helpless, orphans, widows, abused, abandoned, sick, rejected, out casted. Providing for them, helping them to find God and His love. Giving them a hope and a future...

I desire to live a life not for myself, but for others who are in need. A life totally dedicated to continue what Jesus did on earth...

Who will help them? Who will be Jesus' hands and His feet?

Working Hard,
Jason.C

My life is not my own..

Please let me not be like the captain of the ship and crew..

Who will zipped up their life jacket and sail off to safety and leave the people behind in the wrecking ship...

Give me a pair of eyes to see the weak
Give me a pair of ears to hear the cry of the hurting
Give me a mouth to share the love of Jesus to the broken
Give me hands that will reach out to the dying
Give me a body that will bear the bruises of those who are in pain
Give me a pair of feet that will go to those who are poor
Give me a heart that will beat for every single one who are lost
Give me a life that will not live for myself..but others

Christian living is simply putting the 2 Greatest Commandments into action which leads to fulfilling the Great Commission...

Not my own..
Jason

Fill me up...

I know one thing about my God..

That He fills up every part of me that is weak and show Himself strong...

Fill me up...Jesus...

How Could I Live

This is one of my favourite song from my favourite album (Paradise - Joy Unspeakable). I don't think you are able to find it anywhere now because it is a VERY VERY OLD album and I love it to the max. Hahaha.. It is by far for me, the most anointed album ever heard in my life. It draws you to God. Seriously!

How could I live without You
How would I survive
Without Your love
Without Your touch
You're the One Who heals me
Cleanses my heart
And sets me free

Now I come right before You
With my hands lifted up
And my heart humbly bowed
At Your work on the cross
As You hung there and die
You were paying the price
For my life... for my life

For Your love is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the sea
Cause all I want is You in my life
No one else can satisfy my soul
And make me feels this way
Only You Lord... Only You...

This song reminds me of my teenage years of small beginnings. Know nothing but only to pursue God with all of my heart as a young chap. As you grow older, you gain more knowledge. When you have more knowledge, you have more responisibility. When you have more responsiblity, You will have lesser time... But my prayer is, no matter how much responsbility we have as a person or a leader.. this desire and heart must never leave me.... Just like King David, even when he was a King and was given big and heavy responsibility, he is still the same shepherd boy who love God, and run after the very heart of God..

I need You Jesus...
My heart yearns for more of You in my life..
Take me deeper in You.
Never let positions and responsibility take my time and heart away from You...
Keep me close to You...

Yearning for Him,
Jason Chua

11 Years since sec 1...

This photo really bring back lots of memories of my school days. Oh man.. I MISS THEM SOOOO MUCH... Well, try to find me if you can. Seriously, time passes soooooooo quickly that I thought this picture was taken just few years ago...

Some I still stay in contact with them, but some I dunno where they are now. And I know of one of them is no longer around on earth anymore. But I thank God she received Christ 8 months before she leave this earth.

My prayer is for all of them to come to know Jesus and His love..

I regret not doing enough when I was in Secondary School days.. It is so true that today, I have to say this words, " HOW I WISH I HAD..." If you are still in Secondary Schools, I beseech you to do whatever you can to simply just shine His light in dark places, your school. =)

Don't live in regret, and say 'How I wish I had..." 4 years or 5 years later.. while you are still there.. live it to the FULLEST!

Live the Life of No Regrets!
Jason Chua

Make my life a prayer to You

Make my life a prayer to You
I wanna do what You want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise
I wanna shine the light You gave
Thru Your Son You sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know You're really there

Well I want to thank You now
For being patient with me
Oh its so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what You say
Oh You're coming again
Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let You give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope You gave me
The love that set me free
I wanna tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head
You're God the son and you've risen from the dead


This is my prayer and let my sole pursuit in life be You
This life is not my own, but it is for You and You alone
Burn within me a passion that will burn others to passion
Take this life of mine to serve Your purposes and plans on earth
Let me be like a 'Dead Man' walking on earth

These few words have become rare..

"As we humble ourselves...
Seek Your face...
Fall on our knees...
Turn from our ways..."

God...burn within my heart such passion, desire, and desperation to pray and seek Your face...

Personality Test

You Are An ENFP

The Inspirer

You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends.You are also unconventional, irreverent, and unimpressed by authority.Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives.

You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller!

In love, you are quite the charmer. And you are definitely willing to risk your heart.You often don't follow through with your flirting or professed feelings. You break a lot of hearts.

At work, you are driven but not a workaholic. You just always seem to enjoy what you do.You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist.

How you see yourself: compassionate, unselfish, and understanding

When other people don't get you, they see you as: gushy, emotional, and unfocused

Late night post...

Firstly.. I don't know why am I up at this hour.. and I don't think I am setting the right example..(please sleep early people.. I want to sleep, but my mind too active..=S)

Secondly.. I think it is dreadful to stay up late at this hour.. unless you are having an overnight prayer meeting.

Thirdly.. I think I should go sleep now and stop thinking..

Goodnight World!

Jason Chua

Kinda miss the morning nags..

Morning have been rather quiet...
No nags, no bangs, no lectures...

Evening have been rather quiet...
No Karaoke, no songs, no singing

Home have been rather quiet...
Only left with me and my Dad...

Please heal and save her Lord I pray...
Use me to share the love You gave...

Before I can change the world...
Let me first change my world...

Kinda miss the daily nags...
All I need is faith every lap...

A Pure Heart

Is what I long for...

Give me a heart that is pure..so that I may walk in this highway of holiness..

Why are there so few who will walk in this highway...?

Give me the grace so that I can be part of the few who will walk in this highway...

Please forgive me for those time when I am weak and frail...

Once again I looked upon the cross where You die

Help me to walk through this narrow path

I need Your grace, I need You...

I Believe In A Miracle Working God

As I was randomly playing through my library, and heard one of my all time favourite song (When You Believe) from the soundtrack of Prince of Egypt (Which is also my all time favourite show).

As I was listening through the lyrics again, somehow I felt faith was build within me to believe for great things to happen in 2009. God is a Big God! There is nothing impossible that He cannot do! And through Him I can do all things! I simply just want to believe!!! =)

So as usual, I sat at my desk in office and started dreaming (Opps!) Dreaming to take new ground for Jesus. To pioneer new school outreaches in a few new potential schools! (Tampines Sec, Junyuan Sec, School of Arts and many more.) Forming the East Alliance Movement for Jesus to combine all the High School Outreach in the east to fast and to pray for their Schools, to stir up prayers and burden for this generation to take responsibility of their own generation and wage a good warfare against the Kingdom of darkness!

If God can use Moses to deliver the Children of Israel out of the land and the hands of the Egyptians, I believe God can also use us to deliver this generation of young people out of the hands of the DEVIL who so want to steal their potential, kill their dreams and destroy their destiny! Raise me up Lord!!!

I believe in a Big Big God! Who can do anything! I want to be used by You like the way You've used Moses.. I am pressing in..

When You Believe

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small, but still, resilient voice
Says help is very near

4 Days of Rest, Now back to work!!

Past 4 days was wonderful.. why? Because it was holidays all the way! In that 4 days I think I did alot alot alot of things.

I stayed over in church with some of my youths in the zone. Catch a movie with some of them! Went for my brother's house warming. Lim Teh with Karen and Daphne at Starbucks!

Went for a run @ Tampines Stadium (I ran 8 rounds!! Signify my walk with God for the past 8 years, and I walked 1 round which signify my coming walk with Him this year!! ). Met up with my zone core for a good dinner at Sushi Tei after our run and spend time together at starbucks talking (Great Fun!)

Then WZ, Cons and I went to watch 'Australia' with Edwin Lim, Jason Lee, Rachel Yang, JJ, Jeremy, and Emma (The show is SOOOOOO long that I reached home at 5am in the morning. I can't believe I still can Chiong!) And my favorite character in that show is KING GEORGE! LOL!!

Went to Cons' cell and shared. Then we decided to go for shopping. I bought 2 tight tight Tees and 1 brown hoodie.. I tried wearing skinny jeans requested by cons.. It was horrible to the max.. I felt that my leg hair has no room to breathe. LOL..

Yesterday we had an awesome service. Great message from PD that gave me a good reminder to put on the whole Armour of God everyday of my life. Our life is always in a constant battle, if we neglect any part of the armor, we may just get wounded by the enemy. My prayer is many of us who are still in church today will STAND STRONG even if times ahead is difficult.

After service we plotted to 'kidnap' Terry and HY. Hahaha. You want to know what we did to them? Come for their wedding then. hehehehe =) After that we went to celebrate Peh's birthday at fish and co. Well, I purpose in my heart that if ever people gonna ask me to celebrate birthday at fish n co.. I'm so gonna reject it. Try going there to celebrate if you want to know why.

Now, I'm back in reality of life. Work! I really thank God for friends and family. They add colours to your life. Without them, life will really be plained boring and lonely. Worst still, if without God, I may as well not live on this earth!! Hehe..I'm serious. =)

In Reality,
JC

Hello 2009!!

Happy New Year to all!

Indeed 2008 was another eventful year (Every new year will surely make this statement.). Many changes and event took place in 2008. Such as changing of a whole new team of leadership, many new ministries, many people been promoted to Saturday Life, personal mountain and valley experiences in 2008 as well. Mum got sick in 2008. New Presidents, many fallen ministers and MANY OTHERS.

But I do looked forward to 2009. I was quite excited when I was at the Watchnight Service (though it was not as fun as the previous watchnight). There was something in me just want to give to God my best praise, to thank Him for all the Mountain and Valleys Experiences of 2008. Somehow deep in my heart I just want to praise through 2009. Though things ahead may not be certain and unsure, just like what Pst Yang shared, to live closely to Ps 91. And my next year theme is Flexibility and New Wine Skin!!! Hahahaha. No la. I just want to flow with the river.. LOL.. ok ok fine.. forget about my theme. LOL

I believe 2009 will be a year of explosion for the youth ministry. Indeed we are in the best time and shape of this youth minsitry. Everything is just so in place and we are set for growth. I believe new school outreaches will be pioneered, communities will be impacted and many lives will be transformed and changed. Geners, my challenge to you is to go for God in 2009. Go for His presence, and Go for the souls out there who are yet to be saved! Get hungry for Him and get compassionate for the lost!

Anyway, had a fun time staying over in Church. Remembering the good old days with Donovan by singing some of our ANCIENT SONGS that we hardly hear now adays. It really brought back lots of memories and tears of our small beginning. I thank God for all that He had done in the past 8 years of my life and in the youth ministry and Church. (Some photos will be uploaded in Facebook. Check them out soon!)

Had a good talk with Cons as well. Hehehe. Dont worry, everything will remain as secret within that 4 walls. =) And Peh, thanks for helping me wash cup and make tea for me. LOL I'm honoured. We should spend more time together and dream for His Kingdom. =)

And I think my zone people are simply just crazy.. they didn't sleep at all, talk through the night! Then left Church in the morning to macdonalds for breakfast, then after that we went to catch a movie!!! And I think I am also crazy enough to join them to watch a show at 11 30 and the show that I've watch before (Ip Man). Then we go for our lunch at TM Foodcourt and then we went separate ways. After lunch I went straight to my brother's house for his house warming and I just slept from 3 pm all the way to 5pm. Came back home sleep from 5pm to 9 pm. LOL What a day!!!

Hahaha. Well. Its a brand new year, a brand new start. This is what I love about New year.. Its a clean page for us. Put all those bad memories and experieence behind, and start anew. Just as what the bible says, " His mercies are new every Morning..."

Thank you Jesus for all that You have done.. give me a brand new passion and hunger for You in this year 2009.

iPraise,

New Year's resolutions can be bad for you: mental health charity

Before I post anything else, I thought this article is quite good. LOL

Well guys and girls who wants to set 'losing weight' as your New Year Resolution, READ THIS BELOW!! LOL

I have decided.. to put not that in my NYRL (New Year Resolution's List)



LONDON (AFP) - - Making self-improvement New Year's resolutions often leaves people feeling worse, the British mental health charity Mind has warned.

Mind urged people not to make resolutions focusing on physical imperfections -- such as attempting to lose weight -- because they create a negative self image and lead to feelings of low self-esteem, hopelessness and even mild depression.
And when such optimistic resolutions fail, that could spark feelings of inadequacy and failure, the charity warned.

"New Year's resolutions can sometimes focus on our problems or insecurities such as being overweight, feeling unhappy in our jobs or feeling guilty about not devoting enough time to friends and family throughout the year," said Mind chief executive Paul Farmer.

"We chastise ourselves for our perceived shortcomings and set unrealistic goals to change our behaviour, so it's not surprising that when we fail to keep resolutions, we end up feeling worse than when we started.

"In 2009, instead of making a New Year's resolution, think positively about the year to come and what you can achieve."

Mind suggested resolution-makers focus instead on being active, connecting with nature, learning something new and working for one's community.
