Hello... its been awhile since i wrote...
I have been really busy these few weeks trying to get a hold of the life in school, work, friends, ministry... Well I guess it not easy for me to work 7 days a week without stopping. Oh wells...
Life have been really busy... I shared my testimonial last Wednesday, well if I can grade myself, I would give it a 7/10. Ha ha... The theme is "more than conquerors" taken from
Romans 8: 37 ~
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
Well I brought across a fact that even if God did not change the circumstances, we shall still hold on to the promises that God have given us.
And followed by a few little things that came by... FYP (Final Year Project) is taking a lot of my time and I have to sacrifice ministry of it. (Well I love ministry more than any other thing) So I was pretty sad even if I do not seems like it.
Well been so tied down by everything makes me too tired to do anything in the night. Usually 9pm and later i would feel the tiredness and I feels like I need a bed to lie down for the day. Well this tiredness bites into my relationship time with my dear and I am very sad about it as well. As much as I want to be by her side from sun rise until moon rise, I simply cannot afford. My sleepiness usual comes so hard on me, I would just stone until I sleep.
Well I love her with all my heart and soul and I would want her to know that even if I am too tired to listen to her gentle voice, to tired to feel her touch of love. My love for her will never change! Because it is not build by the world, BUT BY THE HANDS OF GOD! AMEN! AND OUR GOD HAVE NO CAPACITY TO LIE! HE IS FAITHFUL AND WILL SEE US THROUGH! AMEN!
Well... Today I had dim sum with Amos and Peggy my usual buddies. I enjoyed my time and I would love to do that as much as time allow us to. It had been a month since the three of us had something like that. Well and I heard that Amos is upset with me because, I seems to be too busy for him and our relationship is not as strong as before. Well I guess I was really too busy for anything but I would change that! I want to be free for everyone cause, everything done for man, to man, with man is edify to the glory of God! Amen...
Nothing much to say le... Feeling very tired... I Love you Ah Pa, Dear, Peggy, Amos! May you have a nice rest! Shalom...

Busy day...
Today was not very good, I slept late in the morning. Missed one lesson but manage to reach on time for the second lecture. Well my day went quite bizarre, well I guess things could be very simple but I tend to micro-manage and get stress up by every single thing... Ha ha...
But it when quite well after that, Uncle Dauglas came to share with us about evangelism. The brought out a point that "If Jesus whom we claim Him to be, is more unique than any one on earth. He had a unique birth, unique life, unique death and a unique resurrection. For He a our saviour and a Son of the Almighty God.
"and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son,* with whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:17
Now after knowing Jesus Christ, die for us... All of us. Are we going to keep this good news amount people? Are we going to keep this knowledge of Christ to ourselve? Is it not that Christ came to save all and not a few?
"The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. " 1 Timothy 1:15
Amen...
After that I had dinner with my CFers and guess what? Three new faces came! Praise the Lord! then I rush down to Cathay to watch Jeremy's performance with Amos, Peggy, my dear, Dawn, Eugene and his dear (Emily) at Ben and Jerey. The ice-cream was good... Ha ha... After that I sent my dear home...
Well along the trip i was very tired cause I had a long day, when I am tired I tend get grumpy and easily getting hot temper. I am sorry dear, I did not meant to. I was just tired and can't really think of what to say and what words should I use. I am sorry...
Well... I guess I am quite tired easily because of the workload I am carrying... But I guess I should find rest in Him so that I can be a better steward for God.
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Thank you Father that you have shared with me today,
Lord I ask that would you give me enough rest...
Amen...
For Him, In Him & Through Him only I live...

First day of School...
Yesterday I had a wonderful Sunday with my Father. The Vine Church in Hong Kong came down to my church (Charis). Their brought down our band (Vine Band) together as well, the service was good and I will post a sermonette on my sermonette post really soon (once I find time). The service ended quiet late but I manage to get to my work area on time (Airport). I went to have brunch and bought dinner because I would be working at T3 and the terminal have really expensive food. To my joy or horror, which I am still confuse. I realised that I do not have to work! There were some miscommunication, so I took the chance and went down to Ngee Ann Polytechnic to meet my dear since she would be there doing the decoration before Monday because of the CCA drive. So I spent the evening and night with her and the rest of the CFers...
Today I woke as slightly later then the time I wanted to. But it's ok, I reached 5mins later then suppose to( Not too late). I spent my day adjusting back to school life and I really want to work hard for this coming year... then I ended at 3pm and headed to CF room to relax and wait for Eugene to come at 5pm to fix my wife(Guitar) and Eliza to prepare worship songs for Tuesday. Then Nicodemus, Michelle, Ian and my dear came to Singapore Polytechnic to have dinner... After dinner, Addison who came along the way, sent dear home since he is driving. And I took a train with the rest except Michelle who took a bus back. Once I reach home, I have been doing admin (which I hate most) and manage to finish them.
I am currently having headache and telling my dear would mean a scolding for her. Well she is sleeping now and I feel a need to have her close to me... But having her sleeping would means that she would have more rest and that would be what I want from her as well.
I love you Dear...
My head hurts really bad, could be the lack of rest or even pressure that my ministry is giving. But I hope that God would help it right now... ha ha... I can't type and think anymore... I shall end it here...
"Heal me, O Lord , and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise. " Jeremiah 17:14
Thank you Lord for today. Thank you Lord for tomorrow. Thank you Lord for Katherine

A summary of four days...
Its been awhile ever since I wanted to write this blog. Everyday has been a fruitful day and I thank God for it. Praise You Lord.
7th April 2008 (Monday)
My last post was talking about making brunch for my dear? Today is the day. I plan to wake up at 6am so that I would finished the cooking, cleaning up, bathing and everything else by 8am then I would reach below her house to suprise her. But as usual, I slept late in the morning. I woke up at 7 instead, well but I did manage to finish early and reach parkway about 10.30am and guess what? She been herself was late.. Ha ha... But its worth the wait. ;)
So we reach East Coast park about 11plus. We spent 4 hours there, well... we slept under the sun, ate brunch, sing along with the music ( I brought along my psp and speaker) and wet ourselve (We were playing with the sea water la! What you thinking!). The breeze was really relaxing and I really hope that I can spent the rest of life next to the beach. Well, what more can I ask for? The sun, the breeze, the sound of waves crashing and my beauty holding me.
God is Great.
"For you bless the righteous, O Lord ; you cover him with favor as with a shield." Psalm 5:12
After East Coast, we headed down to Parkway Parade to read some books (to catch the air-con too). Then went down to meet Ian and Amos for dinner, followed by bible studies with the rest of the leaders. Guess what? My dear was burning! Her face and arms, hands and legs were all burning red. It was quite scary... It was pretty much my fault, I should have brought sun-block and skin protection for her. I am sorry... But we did had a wonderful day! Thank You Lord...
8th April 2008 (Tuesday)
After my fantastic yesterday, I had lunch with Amos and Ian. Well it started slow and quiet but once we sat down for a talks after lunch, they went straight into the main topic. I do feel a sense of distance from my CFers, Amos, Peggy, Ian and so on... They were telling me why is it so, then I share with them everything. But after the long conversation, i sense that it has went back to the old stage of closest of everything. Thank You Father.
"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison." Matthew 5:25
Then Amos follow me to the Ngee Ann Polytechnic to have dinner with Peggy and my dear. But when we reach there, Peggy says that they need more time to finish up the camp stuff. Amos could not wait any longer, so I ate together with him and walk with him to his bus stop before I head back to Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Not long after they arrived together with their Exco members about ten of them at that particular time. We went to King Albert Park to have dinner at McDonald. Have a few chats and walk her to the bus stop when Peggy ran after the bus like a auntie... Ha ha... then talk to my dear on the phone all the way back and then accompany each other on the phone throughout the night for the two of us to finish our admin for both Christian Fellowship. Well I was quite surly and I thank God for the understanding and thoughtfulness of my dear.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self‑seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
9th April 2008 (Wednesday)
I woke up and rush down to school to do my timetable. I reach around 9.15am... But the queue was very long! I was the 53th in the queue... Just 15mins only! But I in the end, I spent the rest of my afternoon there as well. I finish everything at about 3pm, can you imagine the tirness and stress I have to go through? Ha ha... Thank You Father as it is finished. Then I reach home to cook dinner and that is my first and only meal for the day.
Then I went to meet Mun Toh (my mentor) for HTHT (Heart To Heart Talk). We talk about all aspect of my life. I enjoyed the talk very much. Then I went to FES (Fellowship of Evangelical Student) office to place some things and take a new copy of the NLT (New Living Transition) life application bible for a new creation of God... Lim Chen You
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
2 Corinthians 5:17
And I went home to lie on my bed for awhile but I slept until this afternoon at 2pm. Ha ha... What a Pig...
But even these few days have been busy for me. I will still find rest in the Lord Jesus Christ...
I thank You Father for watching me through these days. Lord if I do not remember to thank You, remind me to do so. So that I would not take Your blessing for granted. Lord I ask that would Your Spirit live in me that I no longer live for myself but in Christ for Christ and through Christ shall I be living for. Amen...

He gives and takes away...
I had a wonderful night on 6th of April... I had dinner at KFC with my dear's mom! How funny is that? Haha.. She is really a nice person and I suggested that We (as in my dear and I) should spend more time with her mom.
Well.. I guess many a times in relationship, people just want it to be a "couple world" thing. Only the "boy and the girl" and shut the whole world off. I truly believe that is not the case, my stands are if I truly love her, then I should love those who love her too right? And let her spent more time to those who needs her more. Many people have a mindset that love is SELFISH!
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self‑seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Well... This is the true LOVE that I believe and the world that is trying to corrupt it.
Anyway... After dinner, we walked her mom to the control station and we then took a bus to head down to West Coast to enjoy some breeze from the sea. Then along the way I start talking about if Ah Pa ever take my life before I marry her, I would hope that she would find someone else who can look after her and stuff. Well things got just little bit depress, then I told her if that even happens then I would want her to say this... "He gives and takes away, but my heart still choose to say 'Blessed be Your Name'".
"And he said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”" Job 1:21
This is my life, I was created for Him, in Him and through Him, whatever may comes, I am at His full disposal. So that I may be a testimony to Him and my deeds be a glorifying before His throne of Grace and Glory. For it is by Grace I came to know Him and for His Glory I may die to live with Him...
"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21
So I told my dear that in my funeral, one of the song must be "Blessed be Your Name" Haha...
After everything, I send her near her house where I took bus after that and reach home, bathe and went down to buy some stuff so I can make brunch for her tomorrow, erm.. more like in a few hours time. Well I really love her and I promise to cook for her all the days of my life. As long as my hands are still working... I will cook!
Its really a interesting day... And I could not wait to see her in a few hours time!
Thank you LORD!
I ask Lord Father that You would give me the strength to go through today, I ask that would Your Spirit lead me in all ways of my life which is no longer mine for You have bought me for a price. A price that You have not hold back because of Your love for us, Abba Father I ask that I will be able to love Your people as the way You delight me to love. And above everything, I thank You for Katherine. The lover You place in my life so that through her, I can see the image of Christ in a physical world. Thank You Lord... I ask that Your will done on earth as it is in heavens. Amen...

The true leader (that i am not)
I have been taking a long time thinking... Am i the right leader for Christian Fellowship? Did they choose me due to the lack of members?
Well... I have many other commitments and becoming a Chairman for English Ministry only adds on to it. I guess that the reason for my doubts is that I feel that I am not caring enough for my members well being, they are my sheeps and the lest I could do for them is to keep track of their everyday life! I been asking myself, if I have even spent a few minutes praying for them? Did I even spend time having lunch or tea with them? If they are truly my sheeps as I have called them. Then why am I not caring enough for them?
"I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord . " Jeremiah 23:4
I ask Lord let me be the shepherd, let me care for them so they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing. Lead me Lord, teach me Lord. For You are the True Shepherd, show me Your ways and I will follow... Amen...
One more week before school starts... I know it will not be easy, but by Faith and not by sight. I will follow the Lord of my life...
For Him, In Him & Through Him only I live...
