Tuan Yuan Fan...

Went to have Tuan Yuan Fan with some of the leaders in the zone at Pst's house on Wednesday. Didnt expect to have more people than usual, but it was kinda interesting, becos we (the ladies) were gathering in a circle and talking about getting pregnant and the early signs of pregnancy! haha... Its really very interesting. Hmm, maybe like what others said, when we live til a certain age, the topics we engaged in will not only changed but it will kinda made one sound older! haha.. Well, thats how i felt that night! :)

Anyway, thanks to Ling Xiang for chairing the "Women's Talk" (title given by her hubby , Roy! haha). From her, i really found out MORE. haha...

But anyhow, it was good la, managed to fellowship with more people that i seldom have a chance to.

Played with Cheyenne! Haha she so poor thing, keep asking us to play with her. So i played with her. We played Tea Time! She brew tea for me and i support her by eating her Cheese Cake. :P
I was convicted by what Pst Tan said during one the the Sunday Services. When we sit down to play with kids, (esp parents), we should give our 100% to them. 100% meaning, 100% of our soul, 100% of our mind, 100% of our heart. And it shouldnt be only 80% given to them and the 20% is given to our ministry, work, etc. Thus, my conclusion is that to give birth to a child is NOT easy alrdy, let alone bringing the child up rightly?? Woo really need God's wisdom & anointing! But this, i understood 4 yrs back. Thats y i dun wanna 'sheng'! Ops..maybe i shouldnt talk about this now.. (hee...)

I think Pst and Wenling make great host! :) Pst even want us to watch DVD with him at near 11pm, but... most of us were really tired by then and some had to work the next day, so we went home shortly...

But it was still good la... Thanks to Veron for organising this! It was great!! :)

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Hapy NIU Year!! :P

Relationship preceeds....

Its been a long time since i came in here to write sth. So much so that i almost forgot my own password! :)

Anyway, i realised that i have been thinking a lot a lot a lot for the whole of 2007 (3rd quarter of the yr) til now... Probably its part of everyone's growing up period bah... Thinking abt my life, abt my ministry, abt my family, work, etc....

I loved what Pst Abraham Ku said before (in chinese, but i will translate into Eng) " Some people are good in makijng things work, but they arent good in making friends." I think its TRUE. To me, its good that one is capable, in fact that is what God wants us to do, to use the talents He has given and out of it come forth sth that is productive. This is to work and be capable in working. But to Him, relationship preceeds many areas too. Whats the use of working so hard and achieving so much success, when at the end of it, you dont have time to make frends, no time to spend with your loved ones, etc... You will grow to be lonely and die lonely too.

I dont want to be like this. I want to work the best that i can, but yet at the same time, sowing into r/s that i know will work out and are worthy to invest my time and effort in.

Thru out the yrs, i have learnt to be sensitive to ppls' needs, to try to help as much as me and Mk can. Even if no one knows, that is totally fine. As long as God knows, we are satisfied alrdy. :)

To family : i used to go out really a lot and thus neglecting my own family. But now i want a balance. To spend time with family, and also diff gp of frens.

To friends : there will always be ppl that arent appreciative to you at all. So for me, i just do my best to help them. Once i feel that i have helped to the best that i can, i will allow God to come in to do the rest!. :) No need to always expect exactly the same level of effort ppl will sow back into your life, becos this world is not fair and there will always be ppl that dont treat you FAIR. Smile my fren.. just smile... :)

To God : Being a Christian for almost 15 yrs, i must not let myself be so comfy with where i am. Its no good. I should keep on moving up in God. And i realised that there were too many times i listened to myself, but yet thinking that its from God. I should and want to learn to really discern and listen to Him. Only when Daddy said "ok", then i will do. If not, i better stay put! :) I want to move in greater intimacy with God in 2009. It will not just be praying for sake of praying, but rather, talking to Him and listening to Him wherever i am, whatever i am doing! :)Walking to MRT, poo-ing in toilet (GRIN), replying emails, ordering new stocks for PL, etc....I wanna talk to Him. I wanna listen to Him talk too! :)

So if God wants to fellowship with us, this shows that r/s is BERI impt, thus why should we think that we have succeeded just becos we think we are capable?? In the 1st place, your ability isnt from yourself, its from Abba Father, so stop thinking that you very capable, stop thinking that you are very talented by your own strength. Relationship precceds many...........

Its time to build on this... Trust me lah.. :)
