To He Bing. :)

Dear He Bing,

You’ve been a wonderful brother to have in the caregroup and I feel very blessed and proud to have you as a friend. :)

I remember a few years back on the day that you received Christ, I was really touched by God and cried as you were a new believer God sent after a very very long dry period of NTU. Since then, God has indeed transformed and molded you to be a more and more mature, courageous, humble and caring person!

I’ve been extremely encouraged and blessed by your consistent concern through smses. You are one of the few who always ask to pray for us and if my prayer request is about the day itself, you often follow through after that to ask how I am! :) Many times when I feel quite drained out by work, your smses cheer me up and remind me that there are people who still care. Thank God for you :)

Since you came out to work, you’ve faced numerous challenges.. your character, your personality, some of your mindsets and preferences have been greatly challenged. There are many times indeed where I felt surprised and frustrated by your stubborn mindsets and wonder how we can speak into your life.. haha.. but God is good and the softener of our hearts.. (sounds like clothes softener.. hahah) and he has really moved and changed you. From someone who stubborn insisted on his beliefs and preferences such as ‘life was meant to be slow’ and ‘women should lead in the household’, and someone who felt a great low self esteem each time you face difficulties and things you found hard to do at work, you have grown to see that despite your preferences for a slower-paced life, you could push yourself to be more initiative in learning and humble to seek help at work; you have also grown in understanding that God made men to lead and women to nurture, and you have learnt to put your emotions aside, and find your identity in Christ as you anchor each time you feel lowly. These are indeed amazing transformations! These are changes in your heart and character that is far more difficult to mold than changing our appearances or behavior.

Thank you for being so open in sharing your life and weaknesses. Through your life, I’ve learnt much.. about God’s grace and kindness – for us when we feel down, and also through you who show me much grace and kindness as well- for I have been quite an impatient person who is many times, unkind with my words.. your courage to stand up against your weaknesses encourages me to do so with mine. :)

I am also greatly touched by your heart for people- one that not only shows consistent care for fellow brothers and sisters but also one that is willing to go the extra mile for friends who do not know God yet. You never stop sowing! :) Yu rong, Terence, Deming etc.. wow.. :) And I’m very blessed when I realize that you strive to bring Yu rong to try new food in Singapore.. all over the island! That’s really out of your convenience to find new places and to find out how to get there and then to direct Yu rong there when you do not have a car and you are a non-Singaporean! I believe that God will definitely bless your heart and bring you a sheep very soon!

Pray for you that in this coming year, God will really bless you with the desires of your heart – help and direction in your career, stability and maturity in your stewardship and people relations, and continue to mature you so when the time comes, you’ll be a great shepherd, leader and husband! :)

Thank you for you all.

Hey all,

Thanks for the Sakae Sushi gathering yesterday night. Thank God for the presence of Liling, Terence and Deming. Thank you for the bag and thank you for the birthday cake as well.

In the past year, I think God has pruned me in a lot of areas. God humbled me in my job, God slowly and progressively developed my characters along the way. God also make me think about my future and I am sure that He slowly will show me His way and His plan for me.

Shenteng and Peiru, thank you for concerning me and taking care of me in the past one year. It must be very hard for both of you to sit down with me near my place and teach me how to deal with things in Godly manner.

Chukai, thank you for spending your time and effort to take care of me despite your busy schedule. Thank you for imparting your spirit of humbleness to me whole heartedly. I am greatly inspired by your zealous and openess to God.

Guo Qiang, thank you for your patience in helping me sort out my financial management. Thank you for your patience also in listening my stories and my struggles in my life. You are a great listener, you are like a big brother to me.

Huan Jie, although some time you are in Malaysia and you are busy in your schoolwork as well. I found that you are a helpful brother. You will find every opportunity to show your concern to other people quietly and never hesistate to offer your help when someone is in need.

Sharon, thank you for driving me home always since you got car to travel to church. Thank you for your listening ears and Godly advice as well when I am facing some problems in my work. Pray that you will achieve your dream soon and use it fully to the Kingdom of God.

Liyi, thank you for bringing a lot of joy to the care group. Although you will be travelling quite frequently, our heart and spirit still be with you all the time. Bring your joy to the people around you, they will be "infected" by you.:P

Pray for myself the coming year will be another excited but blessed journey with God:)

Hebing's birthday!

Today is Hebing's birthday, just want to take some time to affirm this brother.

I have seen Hebing grown from a very young believer to who he is right now. I still remember the first time I got to know him is through a brother's night at the guy's ministry house in Jurong West. He was still a very new believer that time. I remember having breakfast with him the next morning and we talked about the bible. He was very excited about his new-found faith and was eager to learn more. My first impression of him was that he is a teachable and friendly brother.

Soon after the first meet-up, I got to know that he is going to be in my cg after his graduation in NTU. I remember sitting beside him during the last tertiary service and I told him the news that he is going to be in my cg after the service. I am not sure about how he feels about the news but I am glad to have the opportunity to know him deeper as a brother.

I enjoy my friendship with Hebing as he is very open about his life and I feel very comfortable with him. Our friendship develop as we serve together in the cg. He is a very sensitive brother and notices the needs of others. I am very encouraged by the way he serves and helps the people around him. When Hebing starts working after graduation, he faces many challenges in his workplace. Reality sets in as he needs to handle projects, deal with difficult people and meet many deadlines. I appreciate the times when he poured out his feelings and heart during cg. Though he faced many difficulties, I thank God that he is able to perservere and come out stronger after every trial. Now I see that he is more positive despite the circumstances around him.

I feel that cg is so much stronger with Hebing around. He takes initiative to care for people and reach out to his friends. I can sense his genuine heart to reach out to his friends like Yurong, Terrence, Chuan Biao etc. I also appreciate the smses he sent to ask us for prayer requests. Indeed sometimes we are so caught up with work that we forget one another. He always make it a point to sms us to get us more connected and to pray for us. When I see Hebing, I am reminded to love people more as he has set a good example for me.

I had my struggles with Hebing at certain times as well. There are times we disagree with each other on certain viewpoint and we are able to resolve the differences. For example, he has certain understanding towards family which I cannot agree - he likes his wife to make decisions etc. For example, he has certain mindset on some brothers in ministry house which I feel should be changed. I often have a hard time explaining myself and I do have difficulty identifying with Hebing at times.

Over these 2 years plus I know Hebing, I have learnt to feel more with Hebing and I think I understand him more now. I have learnt from him what it means to be a good support to my leader like how he has been a great support to me. He has taught me to be more open about my life with his open sharing and I am trying to grow in this area. Last but not least, I thank God for his friendship, the many suppers we had together, the sowings we tried out recently, the badminton sessions which we enjoyed tremendously, and the many good days ahead. Thanks for all your effort in building relationship with me by asking me out for supper and badminton/basketball.

Jesus, I need You.

Dear Jesus,

I need Your help Lord, I found that I am working in a fast pace environment. Lord, I need to meet different kind of expectations from many parties. Lord, the people in the world keep telling me that I should prove myself to be a better person. They keep comparing other people and me and said I am not reach their standard. However,Lord, I know that my identity has been confirmed by You. Lord, please give me strength and wisdom to handle different kind of issue in my life. Let me not to worry about the gossips and backstab behind me.

Updates from Ck

Sorry I wasn't able to update for so long. Really hard to find energy to do it. Spirit is willing but body is weak. Hope you all understand.

Thank you all for the encouragement you all keep posting and all the effort to affirm one another.

Not going to update about everything here but maybe just what I went thru recently.

Work is mind boggling for the past few weeks or er... months. Sometimes I just get angry with the school system and MOE. Other times, I get motivated to go on. I have an amazing group of colleagues that support one another. I learnt a lot from them. Everyday at work is fulfilling but most times more challenging than I am willing to face.

Nevertheless, God is gracious and I am still here. Now more or less stabilise. But one thing for sure, my expectations of work has to change. In the past, I thought I can always be in control of my work and choose when to work or when not to. I thought I can just devote my time to "God's purposes" easily. But after all these while, I have to adjust my understanding of that.

I think its alright now to suffer while at work. Especially in the initial phases. I know a lot of my weaknesses as a teacher and I am working hard on it. In the meantime, God never fails to pull me through those weakness. And I do get stronger. So while I may be so busy, please don't worry for me, I really see purpose in it all. I even know it when I need a break. Took MC recently and successfully avoided falling badly ill. My first for the year.

So all in all, i'm ok with work and busyness and I still try my best to ask friends like Ivan out and have time for CG. Please let me know if you wanna know anything more. I'm know there's lots you all are wanting to know.. hah.. pls dun expect me to blog too often though...

Another thing that I may be slow to respond to is sms. I dun carry my phone around and I sometimes find it hard to switch thinking mode to reply smses. Most times, I have to put on a different thinking hat to handle the things in school. Its very challenging and keeps me on my feet. So sometimes I read my phone only much later in the day or only reply later when I have time to think. So please understand. I dun want to feel constraint by another electronic device by being obligated to tend to it so often. So if you have anything urgent, feel free to call. If not, pls be patient and wait for my sms reply.

May day coming soon! Yay another holiday and rest day!

God bless you @ work too!

Church debt retirement update

Today I am going to meet Yu Rong with Shenteng at Jurong Entertainment Center. Pray for us that the dinner session will be fruitful and we will be able to introduce Jesus to him.

Caregroup Prayer Checklist

Thank God that I can finally type something here. Below are the prayer points we wrote down together as a cargeroup:

1) Everyone in CG will excel at work and increase in inflence.

2) Grow in burden for people. C12 by end of 2007.

3) Liling to receive Christ by June 2007.

4) Help Lydia to grow in the caregroup.

5) Ourselves to share about our emotions and to understand ourselves better through God's perspective.

6) Ivan, yurong, dennis, Deming, Teck Chye and Jasmine will too come to know Jesus.

7) Everyone in CG to be initiative and become an exciting team.

8) Serve God and His people with all our strength.

9) Have the right priorities in our use of time.

10) Liyi has more time with CG and "fly" less.

Thank God for Chukai who wrote these points down during CG. Let's continue to persist in prayer as we see God moves in all these areas.

For me, the most memorable thing during the CG was when Chukai shared about how he experienced the nearness of God when he prayed in the spirit before the worship. I appreciate his openess and courage to share about his experience. It also encourages me to pray continually to draw near to Him.

Thank God for Peiru who led a ministering time in worship when we sang " In moments like this", it is a beautiful song which i never sing before during CG. Peiru has been a great support for me in CG and she has been a great motivator for me to learn spanish too. She is someone whom I will cherish in my life.

Liyi, we have been praying for you. Look forward to see you soon. Let us know what time you reaching Singapore on Wed. I can go and fetch you if your flight is not in the morning. God bless!

Some pictures showing me working

I am looking at the manhole at the bottom of this photo.

I am marking down some manholes in front of me

This afternoon just went out to have some site inspections. I was humbled by my senior engineer by don't know how take a good site pictures and many many things. Glad that God use this time to let me know that there are a lot of things to learn on site.

Monday, April 16, 2007

A brand new week.

A brand new week to me again!! Today just another busy working day for me. Tomorrow I need to go down to some area to locate the manholes on the road. Pray that I will be able to finish the thing on time and can get my job well done.

This afternoon I had lunch with Robert and Jeannie at TTSH. This was the 2nd time I ate the thing there. Feel quite awkward to see the people eat carrot cake and oily chicken rice in a hospital.However, I still have a good time with both of them.

I tell you the truth, the Mr Bean's soya ice cream in TTSH is fantastic. I will try it again:)

Be still

Why I type the title "Be Still" today? This is because today I have encountered one amazing thing during my worship to God.

At the end of service, the worship team lead the crowd to sing the song "Be Still", everything went normal until we sing the lyrics "I will be still and know you are God". I start to shed my tears. This is very sudden and unexpected. I am quite amazed and starting to ask God why I behave like that.

Today the whole service was very ministering and I learn that God's peace is not depend on the circumstances. It comes from deeper part from my heart. This peace will help me to always stay in the eye of the storm.

Saturday, April 14, 2007

Yea!

Very encouraged by u gals meet up with Li Lin..Thank God that she is receptive! Thank God for Lydia as well! Have fun in service tomorrow! =)

Hihi

Hey liyi, yup still eating porriage and soft food..Guess what, i get to eat ice -cream as my dinners!! Haha,to reduce swelling..so i can't eat hot stuff.. will remove my stitch next thur , afterthat can resume normal food le.

Yup very glad and encoruaged by Liling that she is willing to pray for me..On the day itself, she also smsed me and said she will be praying..cool!! Hee i believe God heard her! afterthat updated her, hopefully did encourage her :)

Also thank God for Lydia :) Smsmed her to ask her how her week was ,whether busy? She replied that though busy but happy cos have friends like us =) Indeed, God has placed her in our lives for a reason =p So we need to enfold her well :)

Good to know you are doing well and keeping close to God there.. Do spend some time thinking what had happened so you also know yourself better.

Thank God u lent me the korean vcd..I am currently resting by watching that.Quite nice though a bit draggy..but not too bad .

Shenteng and Peiru, will pray for ur parents.. Maybe St's brothers all abroad so the dad cant bear with him to part as well ?

How's everyone else? Besides busyiness, any happenings?

updating.. :)

Liyi, we won't be going for dragon boat today coz not enough people to go. heh..

We had a good chat with Liling that day. Asked her about her work issue with that colleague and she said it's much better, a change of attitude now, not to let the girl affect her. :) Thank God!
Some very interesting breakthroughs happened I feel:
1) We went to eat sushi and coz we were both very hungry, she started to eat the pink ginger first.. then when the food came and I said I'll say grace, she actually said, "Oops! I eat the ginger already, how ah?" heee.. explained to her of coz..
2) We booked her for service on 10 June! :) All the weekends from now till then she has something on, either helping her mum with renovation work (her house is leaking!) or helping a friend to teach at a tuition centre. So the earliest she can come for service is either 3rd or 10th June. :)
3) We asked her to pray with us. As in SHE PRAY. hee.. I prayed for her for her headache to go away, she prayed for Sharon's extraction of wisdom tooth and Sharon prayed for Shenteng and me (flat hunt and parents' meet up). Liling prayed in Mandarin! and it was a cute session.. hee.. she was quite nervous, saying she dunno how to pray and all, but we assured her that it's her heart that matters, that Jesus already knows.. and in the end she prayed a very earnest prayer. :) Very sweet. And thank God it was encouraging too , that Sha's wisdom tooth extraction went well! Yeah! testimony :)

Continue to pray and share and encourage her k! :) Hope that we can see her receive Christ even before she comes for service on June 10th, we can personally witness to her and see her cross the line! Yeah!

As for Shenteng and my parents’ meet up, our parents were generally ok with each other. But an unexpected thing happened when my parents mentioned about us going overseas after marriage. Shenteng’s dad seemed very surprised that we had such plans and he didn’t know.. (Shenteng did tell his mum previously.. but I guess it was still a shock to his dad) and they were kind of upset and disapproving when Shenteng shared with them more after that. Do pray for us that we can be better testimonies at home and help his parents to understand our plans and be more assured that we will be alright going over..

Glad to know that you are keeping close to God! J May his love continue to fill you so you’ll be always motivated to pray and listen to him! :D

Practice makes perfect. And that works too when it comes to managing our thoughts and expressing them. Don’t be afraid. Take time to pause and think before you explain.. and just learn from our mistakes loh? Your opinions are valuable. :)
For example, can summarize main points and share in terms of that, like firstly, secondly and thirdly…. Or can share your objective first and then explain how you will step by step reach there.
Share with us more what happned next time when perhaps you are clearer how u felt?
Miscommunication often happens..and we can expect them to happen.. hee.. don’t take them too hard. Pray that you will not be discouraged by your senior’s words but focus on the issue, not the hurt. :) Jiayou!!

Msg from Peanuto

Hey gal good to noe that the wisdom tooth extraction went well.. the two teeth look small in size..ahaha.. though cannot go out and play can make full use of the MC to relax and rest at home.. i'm sure that when u go bk to work, you'll be super busy.. haha.. so today still on the porridge diet? or? haha.. How was the mit up with Li Lin?

How are the teachers? busy bumble bees drop a one-liner oso can ba.. at least feel more in touch.. you guys gg for dragon boat this sat? =\ *boohoo*

Feel a bit tired from the busy schedule. Thank God that nowadays i can sleep for only 5 hours and not feel really tired.. God's sustain me.. oso thank God that i was able to spend time with God daily! It's a breakthrough for me.. cos many times i use the busy schedule as an excuse not to do QT. God is faithful, he sustains me and helps me in my work. (=

Tonight had a disagreement with my Senior, i duno how to explain and recount the situation.. in essence i was hurt by his words. maybe i took it too personally and our values are different. i oso felt that i am really v bad at expressing my tots. cos my tots are not organise and i cannot express myself or make a sound argument. Even at work, its hard for me to express to the client wat i want. I'm afraid that they will get irritated by me.

Hope i can learn throughout this trip and that i can produce quality work! Senior did comment on the quality of work. He's quite encouraging on this..haha..he will comment like "good! / keep it up! / jiayou!" He is very work-focused, good in a sense that can force me to be focused as well.

Hope you guys are doing well! Waiting to hear from you guys! (=

Wisdom tooth surgery

Thank God the surgery went fine! It was quite an experience as it was my first time going for surgery and was jittery during the preparation and the process. I prayed of cos and thankful the dentist and crew were caring also.

The lower tooth was much painful but still bearable.

Ta-da there u go..! I don't know which tooth is the upper or lower one.



Anyway, i am on 5 days MC. The bleeding has stopped..Still bled but not as much. Thank God. But my gum/cheek has swelled. This is normal as the swelling is expected to grow to its biggest size within 72hrs after the operation. Yupz, my face has grown a little fatter =p Not the right place lehx. =(

Other than that, i am fine...Will take the medication as prescibed.

Won't be able to join u all for cg tonite and possibly sun svc..unless my swelling subside, and i can persuade my mum to let me off on sun, then i can see u guys..If not, bros, please take good care of Peiru and also Lydia who will be joining us again :) Make Lydia feel very welcomed ya !!

Oh ya doctor said no exercise for me..Chukai cant join u all for dragonboat again Anyway, with the swelling, i can’t go anywhere too :(

I will be on my own soon

For my project, sewer rehabilitation for Rochor-Whampoa area Contract 3, will be starting during month of May this year, so I will be stationed to site during that time.

My senior told me that now more or less the project is on the track, so I will be on my own soon. When I heard this, I feel very terrified. I think that is because I am not an independent person. I love to work under people and listen to their instruction. Now in the site, I have every right to instruct contractor do this and do that. That is a big challenge for me. I believe that God put me there for a purpose, maybe He wants my characters to be moulded there?:P

Today got another site progress meeting. Another war again. I think that will be a good time to learn how to manage the people on site.

Tonight two of my colleagues from my ex dept. will be having farewell dinner at Changi Village. I will be joining them for a while before I join the CG tonight.

By the way, thank God that Shenteng reminded me this Sunday got shepherding course. So I will pospone my date of going back to my hometown to next week.

Thank God

Hey Sharon, thanks for your encouragement. Thank God that my senior asked me not to attend the 2nd meeting. He said it is a waste of time. Hahaha........

Still, I still need to help him to prepare the material for today's meeting with PUB. Everything went smooth yesterday for the preparation work, thank God for that. The task still flowing in like flood, but I take it as a training for me to arrange my time and prioritize my work.

Pray that next week I can arrange some time to meet with Yu Rong. Hopefully can share some gospel to him.

Pray also that I will be able to be more loving and patience towards other people. I found that I got less and less patience recently.

Yesterday I made a silly mistake and kena corrected by my senior. Never mind, I learn new things everyday, that one is another one. I also got a new handphone for my working purpose. It is Nokia 6233. My current handphone even lousier than this.:P

I have been reading the contract document yesterday night. It was super boring but I have to read it so that I will understand what I need to do and what I don't need to do.

Thank God that Yu Rong positive response as well. Thank you Shenteng for taking your initiative to understand him deeper.

Today will another busy day as well. I pray that Jesus will partnership into every single aspect in my life.

Lazy and too full to bathe so just drop by to post an entry.. hehe.. later still have to do some preparation work for tomorrow.
Hope your day was good! Have a good rest!

Oh yeah!

Oh yeah!

Rem we prayed for our CG goal- 12? That means 4 new believers by the end of the year and woo hoo! We had 4 visitors! We're getting there!! :)

One step forward!

c-12, here we come! :D

Thank God and We'll miss you Liyi!

Thank God for the 4 visitors we had yesterday! Truthfully speaking, I had been feeling quite disappointed that we do not seem to be seeing new faces.. but God is indeed faithful! He has proven once again that it is HE who will bring the people as we give our best. :)
Thank you all for putting in your heart and prayers to invite your friends as well. Let’s continue to have faith and hope for our friends, and let’s be God’s faithful harvesters!

Thank God that Lydia really enjoyed herself and said that she will join us again! She finds our service very ministering and our company very enjoyable. She doesn’t have many friends, so thinks that God brought us to her at a very perfect time indeed! Coming from a very different Christian background, she finds Singapore a really interesting Christian environment. :) Can sense that she is interested in growing and learning from the Bible. And she also evangelises! Sure hope that we can assimilate her well and she’ll enjoy growing in God with us!

Heard that Yurong also responded positively to the service and finds the message relevant. Let’s pray for this future brother!! :D God soften Yurong’s heart to hear your call and to know His purpose in knowing you, in Jesus name, Amen!
Continue to pray also for Ivan! A seed was sown, May God grow it. :)

The service was really touching as well.. the animation and song Why brought tears to my eyes.. thank God for His love and life given for us..

Yesterday night, I also got a chance to watch Passion of the Christ with my dad! Thank God for the opportunity to share!! Find out more from my blog later! :)

Dearest Liyi, we’ll really miss you! CG is really more chirpy and fun with you around. Don’t worry about you talking too much.. you really add joy to our lives! P.S. Be confident that you really contribute good points too!
We’ll really miss your jokes and laughter. And Sharon and I will certainly miss having a sister support and sowing partner! Pray for us! Keep close to God ya? Have a good time, and may God give you opportunities to touch your colleagues’ lives as well J Keep in touch through this blog!! :)

CG, do contribute! We wanna know more about your life! Know we’re all very busy, especially the teachers.. but let us in on your life so we can keep you in prayers too :)

Bye Bye Singapore!

“您”的最好解释

有两位退休的教授,他们是一对模范夫妻,据说结婚三十多年来从来没有吵过架。据说他们不管在公众场合还是私下里,都以“您”互称。每晚晚饭过后,都能看见他们相偎相扶的在黄昏的校园里散步。他们每次走过用几块石头垫脚的小溪流时,老先生都要去拉紧妻子的手,而每次走过溪流后,妻子都会对老先生说:“谢谢您,又麻烦您了。“

一辈子都这么客套能算是爱吗?和老教授熟悉的弟子便把疑问对这教授夫妻提出来了。师母安详的说:“他可是从来没有说过什么爱之类的话的,不过我觉得这也挺好“老教授则对妻子说:“你不也从来没有对我说爱之类的话吗?”说完,两人便像顽皮的孩子般相视而笑。

老先生的去世改变了人们的看法。人们以为他的妻子回承受不了相濡以沫的丈夫撒手先去,谁知她都一直表现得相当平稳镇定,替丈夫操办后事有条不紊。最后告别的时候,她把丈夫的手拉起,放在了自己的脸上。

“亲爱的,我爱你。我一直想对你说。。。。你永远都会在我心上。。。。。我也很快会与你相聚的。。。。等到那天,又得麻烦您拉着我得手了。。。。。“这是丈夫死后,她的第一次失声痛哭。

《静心一得》
你永远会在我的心上。这就是“您”字上下拆开来的正确解释啊!一对相亲相爱相敬如宾的花甲夫妻用一生诠释了“您”的含义。爱是一种尊重,永恒的爱在于相敬如宾。
