Woah Woah all i can say God is amazing... When you step out in faith, trust God and be willing, God does all the miracles. Praise God for OPEN DOORS that God is opening. I just rememebered not long ago in emerge i told God i wanted to have 3 connect groups/prayer groups/study groups to reach out to children, youth and my fellow nie classmates. And behold God moves once i have the desire and my attitude is right.
First news i received came last week, when Faith told me that someone in NIE wants to starts a connect group and ask me if i am interested in it. I was excited and told God no problem. There was the easy part.
But soon enough, on last weekend, one of the other members who also wants to see revival in east spring, told me they are going to start an evangelisitc group on sat morning 9am. I was like so amazed at how God moves. I told her that i will definitely be interested in.
That leaves me with the final and most difficult group to start, the Junyuan Primary outreach. I have msg some students to ask if they want cheap tution, It proves difficult, as none of them responded very positively. But low and behold, Sueyi just sms me that her tution kid is interested to come church. And when i called her, i realised that it is yingyi and guess where she is from. JUNYUAN PRIMARY!!!.. My 3rd and final door is opening...I can smell it.. Amen and all praise to the Lord.
The only concern that i have is my capacity. Dear God stretch my capacity....Let me be who you always want me to be...

"Awaken my soul to who i am in you (x2), I can do all things through Christ, I can do all things through Christ who strengths me"

It has been a few days since i last updated. Haha been busy the last few days over the smartkids camp at city harvest. But the last few days has brought much thought and revelations into my mind. First i need to trace all the way back to Pastor Kong powerful message on marketplace ministry on Saturday. Although i have heard Pastor Kong preached many times about marketplace, but this was the one that drove home the point more clearly than others. I was somehow really impacted (maybe my heart is more open after Emerge). Even before emerge, at the late of last year, i already heard from God that one day in my lifetime i would hear of Cell groups conducted at various timings and at various places. Pastor Kong message merely confirms God's voice.

I told God 3 things i hope to be used/or have time to do in the later part of the year.
1) Have a cell group/ tution outreach for my youth
2) Have a cell group/ tution outreach for my pri sch students
3) Have a cell group/fellowship with my nie classmates

Considering i will be very busy in nie and Children Church in the later part of the year i am not sure how this will be open. But i told God i will be open and willing to be stretched. I dont want to be just busy but be involved. That is why somehow i know i will be very busy and maybe even more tired during the later part of this year. I have been catching up with my sleep this holidays whenever possible. I have long known that my calling is to teach, whether it is teaching in bible schs in future, or teaching in schools, or teaching in tutions, God has gifted me. Thats why like Shamgar i am going to use my ox goad (teaching) to reach as many lost souls as possible.

"...One life i lay at your altar, One love i have with you...One word you know i will follow, One heart broken to you, USE ME AGAIN, your mercies follow me for all my days..."

Hmm think i have this bad affinity of waking up late at night after taking a nap to do my stuff. Anyway today i just received my letter that i am officially admitted to nie. I will be signing my contract on the 16th june and doing registration on the 18th and starting sch on the 25th. Today was some sort of the ending of a long step tedious faith process (hmm first part only i guess). I realise when you are a christian, you live some of the most exciting times in life. Let me show you the timeline

Last year emerge 2006 - received shock letter of offer of contract to become chinese teacher
Prayed and decided to follow God calling to be trained so that i can go China one day to share the gospel
Sept first week - went to China for my first mission trip, cried on the last day in China, felt such a burden for them
Sept 11 2006 - June 2007 - began my tedious journey of being a contract teacher in JYPS ups and downs and tiredness of teaching, somehow pulling through
May 2007 - took Chinese entrance test, faired poorly in oral exam, seems like i am going to fail my chinese entrance exams
June 2007 - told the staff in JYPS that i will be leaving, pack my things and hand over in FAITH!!!
1st June 2007 (Emerge 07) - received my letter that i pass my entrance test

This was just a short summary of what i went through in faith since start of last year. Of course, in between, there were many other things i didnt mention. Those include, the valleys in which i cried buckets of tears, the comforting presence of God, the doubts and struggles i have over me being a chinese teacher.
Haha in short, if you live my life for 1 week, you will know how much i struggle in life to cope with things, i am just a simple person who dreams big for God, and follow God's word when He spoke, and through Him i have managed to accomplished things i never knew i could do. I can take 1 whole week and tell you about God's goodness and it may still not be enough. All i can say is come and experience Him for yourself, the day you accepted Him and feel His Presence surronding you, nothing else really matters....

"....If each star was a song, every breath of wind praise, it will still fail by far to say all my heart contains...i simple live for you..."
