Jesus The Burden Lifter

Jesus is my burden lifter. There is nothing too heavy for Him to carry.

Help me cross over to 2009 with greater confidence, and give me the grace to lead.

I do not know my left and my right, I am totally dependent on You.

Stir up that deep hunger that I had in the days of my youth..

Dig deep the foundation that I may stand stronger in days of difficulties..

Jesus, You are my burden lifter... I lay it all down..

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." - Jesus (Matt 11:28-30)

'Ip Man' the movie

This show is da bomb! Seriously, very inspiring and alot of lessons we can learn from it..

Somethings that I've learnt after watching this movie...
1) Character make someone from ordinary to extraordinary.
2) Sit, Walk, Stand!! (From the life of Ip Man)
3) Leaving a legacy

Seriously.. I won't mind watching it again..

Goodnight world!

My reply: Because He is my everything..
You asked: What did He do for you?
My reply: He died for me.. and gave me hope, a life and a destiny...
You asked: How are you going to give back in return of favor.
My reply: He did it willing without expecting a return..

(A silent moment that lasted for 10 seconds)

My reply: But I will love Him and serve Him with all of my heart till I see Him again...

Family Bonding

For a very long time we have not sit down like this together as a family to talk and show care and concern for one another. My brother and sister in law came over today to check my mum out.

She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her nose and she was very worried and affected. Today was a time where we really talk to one another and asking one another to take care of themselves. Encouraging each other to stay positive and we are in this together as a family. Despite of the bad news and solemn moments, there were laughter as we talk about things and life.. This was the family moment that I have not experience for a long long time. I thank God for it and it is precious.

Please pray for my mum as the doctor still do not know which stage she is currently in. But I choose to believe God for miracles and through this my entire household shall come to know Him because He is in control! =)

Anyway it is Christmas Eve!! I am going to do something that I have not been doing as a son of the family in many festive season.. I am going to get some gift for my parents, brother, sister in law and also my nephew and neices...

Blessed Christmas Eve to all!

A Mission That Changed My Life

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/album.php?aid=55759&id=571917156

12/12/08 - 19/12/08

A mission trip that is so different from those i went before.. Past few missions was about me going to pray for people, share, lead worship, do ministry and minister to people. But for this, all I do was to be a helper and just to do some practical stuff like teach guitar, simple games and drama. Due to our poor chinese, we can't really preach (shared for 10 mins) in chinese or even pray for them (except to say grace). Only thing we can do is to teach practical stuff.

And to move around was rather troublesome... as we can walk in a big group but in pairs or in small groups so that we won't become an attention as many many PSB plain clothes police may be roaming around. We can't let the Church member knows that we are foreigners, we can't speak english at all... Basically full of restriction due to security reason as our friends there are being closing watched by all this secret police.

At first when I was there, I felt abit handicapp and useless.. most of the things were done by Joanne. But God spoke to me to observe and hear His heart and just do whatever I am told to do (I know God is teaching me meekness and humility... to be led by others and me not leading.) So I just basically wait for instructions and try my best to teach and communicate with them. Seriously it is tough! I was rather discouraged..

But at the end of the training, what was impacting was when I see people who are more senior, who have been through life, persecution coming to us and thank us with tears in their eyes..telling us how much we have been a help and support to them (despite of our language barrier). Just by being there, they felt affirmed and supported.. In my heart I was like what have we done? All these are simple and common games we all play back in Singapore, what is so big deal about it. But to them it is a whole lot big deal. They tried their best to absorb whatever they can and really use it to expand God's Kingdom. Hahaha.. Even by thinking of the way they appreciate this little things now move my heart. Really I felt ashamed and also humbled by them.. People travel all the way from other villages to come and learn things like this without any complain and hearts was filled with gradtitude.. yet time again we complain about everything we can complain... Hahaha

On the last day, at the train station.. it was an emotional moment.. I'll never thought that I will cry.. LOL well.. I was crying not because I am emo or what.. but just that sense of unsatisfaction that there is so much we could have done but because of our language, we are limited. One of the youth (18 years old guy) just sat there beside me.. somehow look like he was stoning. Then Joanne and I turn and asked him whether he is alright. Then he replied..."Ni men yao zhou le (you guys are leaving already..) and he started crying.. And suddenly God just drop a bomb on me.. and i begin to feel His heart for that young man and slowly to the people around me in that place.. suddenly my eyes just filled with tears and i started crying while putting my hand over Ah Zhi's shoulder... feeling so helpless yet overwhelmed but God's heart felling His love for them.. It was rather quiet.. but yet we can feel that sense of gradtitude and bond of love in that place..

Boarding the train was the climax.. LOL.. Everyone of us cried and they were standing at the platform doing all the actions of those games we thought them.. to show that they will always remember all that we have thought them and use it for God's Kingdom. It just left me speechless and broken down.. that so ruined me.. Their love for one another, passion for the Kingdom, hunger for the things of God and their love for Jesus shows it even without words.. We may have the resources and knowledge, but we are so in lack of what they have.. God give me what they have..

I came back with a determination in my heart, which is
1) To love people without any reservation.
2) Don't want to take things for granted and be complacent or comfortable despite of all that we have.
3) To be appreciative and grateful for the little things people do for me..
4) To draw nearer to God to love Him and feel His heart for people..

Well.. I think by far this is the most impacting trip i have ever been in my life.. I thank God He gave me time to observe and learn from my friends in China.. that leave a mark in my life..

Thank you Jesus.... Thank you my friends from China.. I will keep you guys in prayer and I will be back there to pray with you guys in chinese and preach in chinese.. I mean it..


Determined,
Jason Chua
