SOT 2010

Yes, it is day two of School of Theology 2010! I am part of the biggest cohort of students in the history of SOT - 691 intakes! Yesterday was fun! Met my teammates who are mainly from WYZ zone and they are nice and fun people. Well, unfortunately our team, Team 29, did not win the orientation game challenge, but we came up with a good cheer at the last minute and we were so enthusiastic. Hahaa, we have a creative team leader. I hope that true friendships can really be formed through SOT (:

With alot of time on our hands before the Youth Meeting, we played Sequence!! Hahahaa. We shall spread Sequence-ism out of W452/W480 and into SOT Team 29! Lols. After that, rushed down to Expo and served choir (: I have to say though, it was the most tiring ever! We really jumped... in heels! =O Haha. Nonetheless, it was great serving God. Pastor then gave an impactful message on us rising up to the next level and taking more ownership of CHC as we will be the next generation taking over all the pastors and founders of the church. He was really urgent and I just felt the burden to be part of the people to carry on the legacy of CHC and even raise it up to another level. Though I may have imperfections and I have no direction (for now), I am willing to lay down my life for His kingdom's cause. It took me awhile to wrestle with the Holy Spirit before responding to the calling of full-time ministry. The presence was so strong and my ultra-thick make-up was smudged horribly with non-stop flowing of tears! After Pastor prayed, what he said was really true to my situation: "If you hate your job and what you are doing, and long for God's presence everyday, then full-time ministry is your calling." My heart was pierced by that sentence and now I just know that I want to be a labourer for God. I don't know how or when, but I know that my destiny shall be revealed soon, especially during/after SOT.

I experienced Holy Laughter for the first time today!! Or rather, a full-fledged one. A minor one happened during Asia Conference two years ago. Wow, it was like nothing I ever experienced before. A sudden overwhelming joy and assurance of peace just came over me and it just begin. The funny thing is, I was tearing at the same time. Haha. As the Chinese saying goes, "ku xiao bu ti" xD Pastor Derek really ministered to us in the Spirit. Then, it just occured to me; my desire of being in JW auditorium, immersed in God's presence in the morning has come to passed. I know and I know that my financial situation is a tiny problem which my Heavenly Dad will solve.

Day three of SOT is tomorrow and I am already having slight fever and sore throat. Argh!!! I bind you darn germs! Go away!!! I shall be healed by tonight!!
