I had WFL yesterday wanted to blog about it but my parents totally hogged the com huh . They booking airline tickets then don't know doing what so I didn't bother asking them to lent me use . So anyway , I went for the character study class cause Emily told me to . At first I didn't really want to go because I wanted to go CLC1 but I just told myself ,'God is in control and He knows what is best for me' so I just stuck to it and tried to really concentrate and open my ears and really tried to learn His word . And yeah , it was really interesting although the first preacher abit boring..(NO OFFENCE) But still I could really absorb almost everything . And we learnt about Daniel and Moses . Daniel is known for his unswering commitment to God and his uncompromising attitude is a testimony of a principled man and when I was learning about him , I felt so amazed because he really put in everything to serve God but not only God but kings of Babylon . And he really lived life the way Gods wants any of us to live . God has His principles and values too so we need to do things according to those principles and values . And in order to do that we need to be willing to be tested . And you know , Daniel never took the royal food or presents . He still continued to serve the kings never the less . And he was firm on his decisions and he never let anything get to him . And I really admired him in this aspect . He followed God's wills and God favoured him . God saved him from being killed and God used his life to influence a whole kingdom . And I think it's so cool to be able to influence one whole kingdom , I can barely influence one person . And he really setted hi heart heart right before God and I don't think it's that easy to be lik him . He doesn't need rewards or anything but he still does what people ask him to do . Once or twice your friend asks u for a favour and you thinks it's okay right ? And what if that friend is not even close to you but just always comes to you for help ? I think you'll totally just tell her to go find someone else right ? But Daniel wasn't like that , although he was forgotten , he still came back to help the second king when the king called him back . And I really think that we should be the 'bigger person' in life , to always just give in to others although yes it's not easy . But was it easy for God to send His son down to die on the cross for us ? No it wasn't , and Daniel always gave credit to God , he never took God's glory but instead told people about Him and when he's reawrded he shares his rewards with his fellow brothers and sisters of christ . And Daniel never lost faith in God , daniel was to be put to death twice but he still never died . And I believe God will always help us but if we were meant to go then we will go . And Daniel influenced four kings in his life and made a difference to many who lived in those times and he's not the only who can be a living testimony . I believe all of us can be a living testimony yeah your friends won't believe God exsist but they can't deny the fact that you've changed so much since you came to know Christ right ? God will protect us and when we obey Him , He'll bless us more and we don't have to be the one to be angry about those who sinned against us because God will punish them for their sinns and always thank God for everything . And we should always do something with what God has blessed us with , so really pay attention because the chance may be just there infornt of you . But Moses was really different , He was a real leader in the context that he doesn't try to cover up his mistakes or his weaknesses and he stuggled with many things that we also face . And God called him on an odrinary day , it doesn't have to be a out-stading day when God speaks to us . And I believe that's really true because I had my own 'burning bush' exprience and it was really a big breakthrough for me . Moses always 'tai-chi' with God , he always has 'what if' or 'but' he never had faith and confidence . And God will always be there to back you up to send people to help you . So when things happen just stop , pray and God is speaking . Be curious and ask questions it's not going to kill you if you don't know somethings . Open your eyes and be aware of your surroundings and really just lead God do His work . When God wants you to do something in His name , He'll be doing it with you and He'll help you and yeah sometimes you don't know if it's really God's will but just do it because if may be for the better or the worst but God already knew that it was going to happen and it happened for a reason just whether you see it or not . And if you think that you don't know everything about God and you want to share your testimony about Him and when your friends ask just tell them everything that you know because it'll be enough because no one knows everything about God . And seek God to help you in areas that you always comprimise with Him about thinking that it's okay or at least I'm not that bad ? You're just trying to make yourself feel better . An trust me just own up and do what God wants you to do and don't try to bargin it's not going to work you know . And Moses was never angry at God , he was never able to enter the promise land but he still continued to serve God and he allowed God to punish him and let Him do His work . And God works in many ways not just one so don't doubt that the new way doesn't work but just trust in Him . And Moses had a big heart , he prayed for the people when they were testing God and He sometimes did things out of frustration and we do that too but we'll regret it so try to just relax and do what you think is right . And when you feel sian or tired just always remember why you're doing it and who you're doing it for and ask God for strength to continue on . Don't let your weaknesses come in the way of fulfilling your responsibility and don't be so defensive because sometimes it's just best to keep your mouth shut . And don't be distracted by anything or anyone but stand firm on your princples and being humble is a key aspect and to be humble it's just to think of yourself no more or no less than who you are . Accept feedback and really think about it and ask God what to do . And failing it's a part of learning so we don't repeat our mistakes and we learn how to overcome them so don't be disapointed at yourself and emo okay ! Obey God under any circumstances . Okay I think I have really said enough . Can't wait for the next WFL tomorrow and lifegroup outing ! XD

The Girl;
I love God,my family,friends & everyone else .
I'm currently serving in the usher ministry .
My shepherd is Chua Wenzhen Joy .
My care group is NEA1 .
I'm trying to learn the guitar .
My cca is drama .
Life Transformation;
Before I knew God , I was a petty,
Impatient,spoiled,ungrateful,unreasonable,ah lian wanna-be.
I had no dreams , no idea where I was heading and no purpose.
But I didn't want to be alive for no reason.
I've always thought that I was useless.
It would have been better that I wasn't alive.
But I didn't want to die just yet.
Because I knew that life was precious.
I continued to search for meaning,purpose and reasons.
And last christmas I was invited to Yhope.
I grew up in a catholic school.
I knew God then but I never had a relationship with Him.
At that time , my results were already out and my school was already chosen.
I was going to Deyi.
At first I wasn't really committed to God.
And I had some parental objection.
But Wenzhen was assigned to be my shepherd.
She helped me to overcome my objection and she encouraged me to be more committed.
And she never gave up on me , she is one of the reasons why I've changed so much.
Yes she's naggy but it's really great to have a shepherd like her.
And I thought of it , somehow everything linked.
I never studied for PSLE but I got 220.
I was never accepted in Holy Innocent.
But in Deyi.
My god sister asked me to come but she never made it in.
At first it was hard.
But I got used to it.
Everything made sense to me.
Why I scored how much I scored.
Why I came Deyi.
Why my mother allowed me to go out that day.
If I hadn't gone out with my friends.
I would have never met Hui Xuan,Chantel or Grace they all.
I would have not converted.
And I wouldn't have what I have today.
Deuteronomy 4:29
But if from there you
Seek the LORD your God,
You will find him if you
Look for Him with all your heart
And will all your soul.
I searched for God.
And He made a way for me.
He had a better plan for me.
It was just the beginning of a new found life.
I want to dedicate this blog to God.
All of you who hasn't known God yet.
I really encourage you to do so.
It will really be the best decision you ever make.
He will never leave nor forsake you.
He will never short change you.
He will never fail you.
Psalm 118:1
Give thanks to the Lord,
for He is good;
His Love endures forever.
