"...God said: I have loved kc with an everlasting love, I have drawn kc with loving kindness, i will build kc uo again, n kc will be rebuilt, so hope doesn't disappoint kc because God has poured out his love into kc's heart by the Holy Spirit whom he has given to kc. So forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, kc presses on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called him heavenward in Christ Jesus..."

Jeremiah 31:3-4. Romans 5:5, Phil 3:13-14

This afternoon, I received this.
And I was really encouraged!

Thanks a million

There are few friends whom I will call them brothers,
not just because it is cool (I know it is), but they stick closer than biological brothers, and they are just people that I can count on.

I had a few friends whom I have called brothers, but things didn't work out to be good, some drifted away, some...

Friendship, grounded in Christ, are just awesome.

I thank God for Tung and Matthew,
for the level of transparency you all allowed me to be, and for the trust you all have in me, for the support and encouragement you all gave me, and for your love and care!

I love you!

Did you see the morning dew, collected at the tip of the leaf?
Did you see the evening sky, the clouds that reflects the glorious sun?
Did you see deep into the children eyes as they beam in hope for the future?
Did you see the shadow when when you stand under the tree for its shelter?

Did you hear the baby crying for God-know-what reasons?
Did you hear the baby giggles over just a spinning colour ball?
Did you hear the wind howling against your curtain before the storm?
Did you hear her say "I love you"?

Did you feel the raindrops that gently tickled your hair?
Did you feel the roughness of his hand as he shakes your hand?
Did you feel the heat of dishes even when you return late?
Did you feel the warmth from the blanket you don't remember putting on?

I thank God for everything that I see, I hear, and I feel.
But one day, I won't see, I won't hear, and I won't feel.
And on that day, I wish that I can leave with full knowledge that I have loved, and I am well-loved.

Ministry in Hostel

Rarely have I openly blog about it,

I have just finished with my mid-year review...and I thought I would want to pen down some thoughts.

I have shared with some of my close friends that for the past 6 months, it has not been easy, primarily due to the increased workload in school, and not to mention the small little disappointments I have over the months.

Thoughts of leaving the ministry was always surfacing, and it didn't help when many of your teammate just keep on leaving.

Thank God for the break, that I can tell myself to put a stop to this struggle, and to just re-align myself to be who God wanted me to be when I first join this ministry.

I want to love them as how God has loved me, and how God has wanted me to love them. I want to submit to authority not because they are right, but it is right for me to do so.
I want to have the zeal and passion again to serve the people in this community, because it was in this community that I found acceptance, and experienced God's embrace.

God has not forsaken me though I am the rubbish-dump material. He has cleansed me and redeem me. And now that I am clean, I will go help others to clean.

Love you much, God

Relationship

Met up with one of my close friend,

And we talked about relationship... A topic that I dreaded talking to strangers, and at the same time, really needing some light to be shedded onto.

I am not too concerned over my status as a single. In fact, I am enjoying it, and I wish I can even better enjoy it.

But God has created in such a way that marriage is the norm.

In His time, God will provide.
And till then God will continue His work in me, till I am ready for it.

In waiting, His strength will come.

1) Baray, Cambodia

Nature of this trip is that it was a mission trip. Officially, this is my first mission trip, and I went with Bedok Methodist Church, Children Ministry Team. It was an eye-opener, and I do feel very much for the children there.

Prior to the trip, I really felt that I couldn’t do it. I wanted to give up; I just felt that I was not prepared at all. Moreover, I had swollen eyes just on that night before departure. Was glad to have Tung to pray for me, it meant a lot to me.
In Cambodia, children are not necessarily in school. And even if they are in schools, they do not have good education because they lack many resources. But, what their enthusiasm and willingness to learn is so rich that people in this part of the world should be ashamed of.




I saw God working through the team, breaking the language barriers to allow us to minister to them. At one point of time, the Gospel was preached, and every children sitting under the tree responded. At the other incident, I was waiting for the team to complete their teaching in the classroom. While guarding our belongings, God allowed me and another tripper to just sing a few songs and dance with them.
People need the Lord, no matter where we are.
The Cambodians need the Lord.

2) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I went to KL with Chien Wen and Tung. We stayed at Chien Wen’s place. The purpose of this trip was to buy Cellos for Chien Wen and I.

And we bought.

Why? I want to use Cello as a prayer instrument. I will not force myself to excel in it, but I just want the learning process to be a prayerful ones.



It was a short trip, but nonetheless fun. Through this trip, I learn to appreciate my friends even more. I thank God for my friends who have always been with me in good times and tough times.

We also met Christabel. Good to see her again. Felt like it was just yesterday and she was still staying on 4th floor.

3) Melaka, Malaysia

Church Camp, Ang Mo Kio Methodist Church.

My team, which consists of Ao Xiang, Tung and myself, were teaching the young children, 5612.

Frankly, it was not an easy task to teach them, and I felt so drained and overwhelmed by their level of energy.

I am very proud and happy with my team. Tung and Ao Xiang, both being young believers, took on the daunting task of teaching the kids. I wouldn’t be surprised with the existence of self-doubt in the process, but they did well. I was also encouraged by them, because I know, even as I am slightly more senior than them, I can’t do this alone. God was with us, throughout.
Thank you, Wang Wei, Joshua, and Eugenia who came in and helped.
Other than that, it was a good time walking around the city.





4) Kota Kinabalu Trip

This is the finale, and quite certainly the toughest one of the 4.

Alicia and I went to climb Mount Kinabalu. Due to the fact that I was travelling, I didn’t have enough time to train. On the way up, I suffered numerous cramps. Thanks Alicia, for being very encouraging and supportive. We took longer than expected to reach Laban Rata because I was struggling.



I didn’t conquer the summit, but it is ok.
I was about 5 minutes away from it, quite frankly, within my visibility in that foggy mountain top. My body gave in, feeling a bit dizzy. Not to mention the freezing cold temperature and the howling winds.
After coming down, we rested for the night and rushed to snorkel.
God’s grace was always with us throughout the trip. At 1 point of time, we didn’t have enough money, but we met some kind souls who helped us!



In the past one month, with so many travelling and learning to be done at the same time, I have concluded that God is still my first love, because I need Him and I want to need Him.

It was also a good breather for me to catch up with old friends, and to really know the people around me. I have known Tung, Ao Xiang, Matthew, Yee Wern, Ji En and Chien Wen better through this month. Thank God for ALL my friends. I love you all.
