So Fruitful =)

These past two days, as the title suggest, has been so fruitful for the Kingdom of God. Before moving in to this lengthy entry (you have been forewarned, but please continue reading it ^^), I want to announce to the world that MY EXAMS ARE FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!! Whoopie doo~ And want to thank God because without Him, it was impossible for me to go through them. Just pray that I’m able to do well and glorify Him through my results. So now it’s the H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.S!! But only three weeks la, still, better than nothing, so will take the opportunity to relax. Oh, can finally go for facial and massage that I have been craving for since April… I need pampering. Also need to shed off those pounds and burn those flab which were accumulated during my exam stress coping-mechanism period (i.e. gorging down sinful food down my oesophagus which ends up being stored. Darn you lipids!).


Back to the main topic, I was indescribably glad that Elyn invited me to attend the leaders’ meeting session on Tuesday night. The atmosphere was good and everyone was radical for Christ. True Worshippers led the praise and worship, and as always it was wonderful!!! Presence of God was so strong, and I was so high during praise that I couldn’t stop jumping like an Energiser Bunny. Haha. A vocalist whom Pastor Kong considered as the best female Gospel singer in Indonesia, Sari, sang the Bahasa version of the Mandarin song which we sang during Campus Revivalist. I don’t know what the title was but I simply LOVE that song, both the lyrics and the melody! Tapi, saya dah melupakan lyrik =.= Maap… Sari’s voice is a beautiful gift from God. The anointing in her voice was so strong; when she hit the chorus, Holy Spirit literally blasted from the stage to the whole auditorium. I got goosebumps and couldn’t help but sing along (Kau Tuhan kamu~~~) while on the brink of tears.



Rev. Jeffery from Jakarta Praise Community Church preached a sermon so powerful that I think it pierced and convicted everyone’s heart. He linked ‘leadership’ to the Parable of the Sower. My goodness! The analogy of the ground being the type of leadership, and the seed as the people was just mind-blowing. There is nothing wrong with the seed, but fell on different grounds. WOW. Every word that he spoke was so full of wisdom and conviction that I wrote down 5 pages of notes with the speed of as if taking a dictation test. I even drew a chart! Lol. I learnt so much! I felt so thankful towards Elyn for being such a strong and effective leader. She is one woman that I look up to and respect.



Need to increase responsibility and do more than the leaders expect -> trust + comfort = building a wall of reputation in the leaders’ eyes -> in time, full responsibility.



More servanthood with excellence in CG; children church and choir, here I come!!



Woke up this morning at 5.15am, yawns. Only with two hours of sleep, nearly went back to sleep after turning off the alarm. But the thought of this small sacrifice which can’t be compared to Jesus’ numerous sacrifices and the drive of praying along with Pastor Kong pushed me. If Pastor Kong can do it, I can too! Drew strength from God and woke up immediately. So many people turned up for prayer meeting, the hall was almost packed. Prayed with Josh for the CG, Elyn and our members. But I felt so bad because when I prayed for the youths, my brain got “jammed” and babbled the prayer. Oh man... I was so tired, but felt refreshed after. Can’t wait for Thursday's and Friday’s PM :) But... will be the only W331-er :(



Thank God that I decided to attend the breakfast session with Pastor Zhuang. It was a continuous meeting from the Campus Revivalist, and we had to plan out how to (okay, I can’t say this, because can’t reveal what is the purpose of this. Hehe)... Being a solo private school student, I felt so alone in this battle, and helpless. But Praise the Lord that I got to know Yi Shun from MDIS! We put on our thinking caps and wrote out our action plans and long-term goals. At first I thought this CR thing is going to be extremely tough, but now all things seem possible because I know God is with us every step of the journey. The two of us spent a short time praying after the meeting. Am very excited to carry out what we’ve planned, though required TONS of commitment, prayers and fasts.

Lord I’m hungry
For the mighty move of God
Lord I’m thirsty
Pour out Your Holy Ghost
Lord I want to see the hand of God move mightily inside of me
I’m hungry for the move of God


After the meeting, rushed down to Plaza Singapura to meet my dear Saint Josephian, fellow communicator (muahaha) and countryman, or rather countrywoman (wahaha), Jing Ying! We finally managed to set aside time to meet up. As usual, we talked rubbish and couldn’t stop laughing! My scarily loud laughter echoed the whole Kopitiam! I laughed till my lungs and stomach hurt! She is undeniably corny and a humorous person! I never fail to crap along with her. Enjoyed the fun lunch time we had =D


Coincidentally, we were both in support of the environmental movement today! Save the planet! Get it??? Please tell me you do. (Oh no... worsening dark eye circles!! Need to get some sleep tonight!)
