我的一生在你手中

在主面前,细细数算神的恩典
我才明了,你的奇妙带领
我等候,愿能摸着你的心意
未来的路,愿走在你旨意中
献上我最爱,在祭坛前不带走
带领我前往你所应许之地
我的一生在你手中
惊涛骇浪主与我同在
我的一生在你手中
勇敢前往向标杆直奔
我的一生在你手中 甘心顺服得最终奖赏
我的一生在你手中
我深知道我的一生在你手中
(专辑名称:释放属天的能力)
最近﹐上帝不斷不斷的跟我說話~~不論在禱告會里﹐主日崇拜的信息﹐He keep reinforcing me that He's there. What I need to do is to claim His promises and to fight for the property that He has given me.
嗯﹐我的一生在祂的手中

Your grace is amazing

I just can't thank you more

Jehovah Jireh

This is Your name!

Reinhard Bonnke



Reinhard Bonnke is the man for God! Amazed by how the Holy Spirit work through him and used him for Africa.

He inspired me a lot! That everything we do, if God's with us, nothing is impossible.

He loves God, and that's why God has honoured him in his ministry to bring millions of people to God everytime he preaches!

God, please teach me how to honour You in my life!
Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke-A Biography
Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout the continent of Africa. The son of a pastor, Reinhard gave his life to the Lord at age nine, and heard the call to the African mission field before he was even a teenager. After attending Bible college in Wales, he became a pastor in Germany for seven years and then went on to start mission work in Africa. It was there, in the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho, that God placed upon his heart the vision of ‘the continent of Africa, washed in the precious Blood of Jesus’ – an entire continent, from Cape Town to Cairo and from Dakar to Djibouti that needed to be reached and to hear the proclamation of the signs-following Gospel.
He began holding meetings in a tent that accommodated just 800 people, but, as attendance steadily increased, larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in 1984, he commissioned the construction of the world’s largest mobile structure – a tent capable of seating 34,000 people! Soon, attendance at his meetings even exceeded the capacity of this huge structure, and he began open-air Gospel Campaigns with an initial gathering of over 150,000 people! Since then, he has conducted city-wide meetings across the continent with as many as 1,600,000 people attending a single gathering using towering sound systems that can be heard for miles.
It has now been some thirty years since Reinhard Bonnke founded the international ministry of Christ for all Nations (CfaN), which currently has offices in the United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Africa, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong and South America.
Since the start of the new millennium, through a host of major events in Africa and other parts of the world and aimed at seeing 100,000,000 souls record a decision for Jesus Christ in this decade, some 44 million have responded to the Gospel call.
As part of the discipleship-training program, 190,000,000 copies of CfaN literature have been published in 143 languages and printed in 54 countries. Millions of books have been printed and freely ‘seeded’ in nations around the world. All this is in addition to the ‘Reinhard Bonnke School of Fire,’ an online, self-study course, aimed at inspiring others to Holy Spirit Evangelism and leading to either a certificate or university credits. Other soul-winning projects are in development, including one that is aimed at inspiring the next generation of evangelists also to reach the unreached, to further the Kingdom, and to see the Gospel message proclaimed throughout the world.
Reinhard Bonnke is also recognized for hosting ‘Fire Conferences’ in many different countries of the world, events that are aimed at equipping church leaders and workers for evangelism… for distributing over 90,000,000 copies of Minus to Plus, a profound salvation message, to homes around the world and for seeking every opportunity to reach and to save the lost. He is known as one with a burning passion for the Gospel, a vision for Africa and a message for the world.

My birthday wish list

I'll be 27 next week! yikes, time really flies!

But it's only the number that is increasing, I don't feel old at all..haha!
This can be proven by a several occassions that when I'm out with a bunch of friends for dinner and asked for wine at the dinner, I'm the one that has to show ID card, when actually I'm the oldest among all......haha!

Ok, here comes my birthday wishlist for this year! If you see it, don't pretend you don't see it, and buy me one! haha!

1) Hydraulic Press Juicers - but this is the most expensive one, I don't really expect anyone to buy it for me..=)

2) Max Lucado's books

3) Money =P

4) Amazingly........nothing else that I want anymore =)


So, there you go...haha!

計劃永遠趕不上變化

Talked to Toby on msn the other day, way before he left for China.
And he said this: 計劃永遠趕不上變化 (meaning, changes are always faster that what you've planned for)

He's right...what I've planned is only planned, when circumstances changed, all the plannings will just have to wait.

久違的+努力

9/11/08
久違的Starbucks.....haha!
上個禮拜天跟妹還有苑玲去Window Shopping以後﹐掙扎了好久,才跑進去點了只有聖誕節才推出的Toffee Nut Latte......
陽光的午後+Starbucks﹐ 真是一種Luxurius的享受啊﹗
====================================================================
12/11/08
最近這兩天都在忙著找工作。終於在報紙上看到Deloitte在找data entry的人﹐今天就去面試了。面試的時候也就普通的聊聊﹐然後做了一些打字速度的測試。測完以後﹐就說會馬上通知我。
測完以後﹐不想回家﹐就去平常很難得去的地方逛逛~~~逛著逛著﹐看到一家在Casabella Lane的衣服店在請人~~~猶豫了很久要不要進去﹐然後老闆娘看到我的時候就笑笑的說﹐come on in, I don't bite.
然後﹐我就勇敢的走進去了...然後她就要了我的電話﹐就這樣﹐她說DONE了。我就問她說﹐你不需要面試嗎?她說﹐不用﹐就這樣就好了~~I told you I don't bite..我就笑了。然後也順便看看她的衣服﹐看中的一件就要幾百塊...為什麼簡單優雅的衣服都要那麼貴?!!?
嗯﹐上帝很疼我的~~雖然那件衣服店的工作時間並不多~~~

Is focus a good or bad thing?



Nathaniel came today to our house, coz his mum made us a date loaf~~~it was yummo!

Then, asked if he wants to watch Disney or Playhouse while I was turning on the tv, and he's instantly hooked to the tv....I have to call him like 3 times to get him to turn around and look at me, and also for my sis to offer him some crackers.



After he got the biscuit from my sis....the focus is on the tv again.....without touching the cracker. That's how he looks like in the pic...= =


He's so cute....and agreed to take picture with me, but then, the picture came out to be like this:


STILL HOOKED TO THE PLAYHOUSE PROGRAMME!!! = ='''

Hard to let go

It's hard hard hard hard hard to let go!
Easier to said than done!
After sending a friend home last night, I can't help but let my tears down while driving home
I felt extremely...............disappointed that I couldn't keep my promise - that I want to give him up for God, but then I still hold him back to myself. I want to let go and let God dwell in this matter, but I find it tough tough tough! So, my tears just kept running down......
Then, a still small voice said to me, "My dear girl, trust me! Let me handle this thing. All you have to do is to trust me. I've told you that I'm not limited by experience" That makes me tearing up even more coz I know deep down I never trusted Him. When things seemed to go slow or not going my way, I want to step out and get back my precious 'fake' pearl that I've handed in; I want to make things right in my own way. There are even times that I think God is nuts, and He is probably too old to deal things right. Yet, last night, again, without giving up me, my dearest honey Jesus told me to hand my pearl over to Him again....
It is not going to be an easy process to me.....the tempation is there; the dominant part of me of doing things right is there......but He will help me...=)

Set Apart Life

Protect me, O Godfor in you I take refuge.
I say to the Lord,
"You are my Lord;I have no good apart from you."
..............
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
The boundry lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
I have a goodly heritage.
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
I keep the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand,
I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad,
and my soul rejoices;
my body also rests secure.
For you do not give me up to Sheol,
or let your faithful one see the Pit.
You show me the path of life.
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
In your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
~Psalm 16


These few days, I have been feeling insecure and worried for an infatuation thingy that seems so...foolish. I don't know this person, and I don't think he knows me too. And a few days ago, I prayed (in words and in tongues) for those feelings to go away. And that I want God to play the sovereign part in this, and let Him manuevre my relationship eventhough it has not yet started. Then, I fell asleep, and I saw in my dream that I'm in my church's prayer meeting, I was up on the stage playing this old hymn called "Tell it to Jesus". And we just keep singing the chorus part: Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus, He is a Friend that’s well known.You’ve no other such a friend or brother,Tell it to Jesus alone.

Then, I woke up, I instantly knew that this is from God and He wanted me to hand in everything to Him and not to grow weary on this matter. He wants me to trust him that He has got everything. He wants me to set apart my life for him, and be faithful to my future husband.
In Him, I will rejoice.......coz He promised He will show me the right path.

Dear Jesus,
be my only satisfaction, now and forever
No one man will replace You in my heart
even though he will be my boyfriend or my husband
You alone is what I desire.
On these days I live,
may I live alone for You.....
And until the day You brought us togetherwe would both know that
You set us for each other. =)
Thank you Jesus!!
In your name, Amen.

Cinderella

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sittin' here
wearin' the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
She's pulling at me saying
"Dad I need you!There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited
and I need to practice my dancin''
"Oh please, daddy, please!"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says "Dad, the prom is just one week away,
And I need to practice my dancin''
"Oh please, daddy, please!"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh,
I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She will be gone.
Well, she came home today
With a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
but I need to practice my dancin''
"Oh please, daddy please!"
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms'
Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,(even one song)
Cuz all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
This is an awesome song by Steven Curtis Chapman...love this guy and what his family has been doing for the orphans in China...
If, one day I hav the ability, I hope I can do the same like they do. =)

Gardening

Have been doing some vege planting today..

it's fun playing with the soil and planting the seedlings into the pots. The veges that I plant is baby beetroot, snow peas and amazingly bak choi that I found in the shop! Didn't know that we can get Chinese vege seedlings here at all! haha! I did imagine a little bit like owning the farm, and be a farmer's wife...haha =P i'm just kidding. I don't think I'll be able to manage a farm.......would love to go farm stay again though!

Oh, the reason for planting in the pots is that, my whole body get very itchy after standing the grass for a long time. And so, I have to stay away from it...Can't wait to see the produce although it's a long way to go! =)

meeting up with Soo Sian again!

Everything is good these few days! Regaining my faith in Him, and rebuking the negative thoughts that the devil is putting in my mind. So, everything went well.

Another good thing is that Soo Sian's up here for her 3rd visit this year haha! Everytime, a different place to eat. And this time, we went to eat our favourite food - beef noodle, in Centre Place. At first, she think that's a big bowl......and she went back for a 2nd for her dinner. Can't blame her, coz it's the only shop that makes the authentic one, and strangely, the chili sauce that they gave tastes a little bit like Sambal in M'sia.

So, yeah, it was good catching up with her n told her some of my 'news' n the password thing.....aah I'll just skip this part. And ya, then went shopping in The Base where we went into a shop who sells dresses from some where (sorry, don't know where the brand is from).....and the one I had my eye on is like $338 @@ It is so expensive!!! But, the colour matches on the dress is very pretty, n looks elegant,suitable for all the functions at night... and the fabric is very very comfy! How I wish I have that money....But anyways, all is good!

Gotta go now.....off to sleep now ^^

Being Faithful

This evening, while the youths were memorising the bible verses, I tried memorising as well. Tried it coz it's really short, and also to boost my memory..haha

Anywy, I could feel that God is really talking to me through these verses from Luke 16:10-13
Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You can not serve God and wealth.

I know, I haven't been good in managing my money, and I have been praying that this bad behaviour of mine will be released in the name of Jesus. I have to keep praying and keep learning so that I'll have wisdom in this area.

Abortion Prayer Room

Last night went again to this Abortion Prayer Room in Te Rapa, with Uncle Teng and some of the youths...7 of them.
It was good that we went...there were 8 stands that were set up. All on each different topics to pray for. But because our time is short, so we kind of went round the 8 of them and then prayed together (boys n girls separated).


The things we prayed for:
1) The abortion policy will not be legalised anymore in NZ
2) That the government will soon to realised that Abortion is against God's will when He first start to create human beings
3) All this matter, although it seems to be man-made mistakes, but there's a demonic power behind this. Prayed that Satan's tactic will be destroyed and all the people will soon to realised
4) All christians will put on the armour of God to stand to fight this matter
5) All youths will start soon to realised to have a healthy relationship, and to guard themselves.

Oh ya, and the powerpoint on anti-abortion that I prepared for wasn't used.....but it's all good. At least when we prayed, I managed to get part of the message out and share it with the girls, and prayed together as well....=)

Glorified

This song from Parachute came to me yesterday the entire day! Especially the chorus part.
I know there's something in my heart that I need to totally surrender and let Him take over
and let His name be glorified.

And today, my heart is still singing that song...like right from the time I wake up, go to hospital with my sis to do physio, and till now sitting in front of the computer and write this article. It's just crazy...but the good one. Probably that's deep down prayer in my heart that my life is to glorify him, and yet as a sinner, it's difficult. But, I'll strive for the best.

Glorified
Lord I came into your holy place
stand in awe, of your cleansing grace.
who am I, that you would care for me?
I glorify the one who died for me.


Glorify, glorify,
let your name be lifted up and glorified.
let the earth tremble at your name.
let your name be lifted up and glorified.


Into your hands
I commit my life
day by day as a living sacrifice
who am I
that you would care for me?
I glorify the one who died for me
-from Parachute Band

Bella Movie

I finally bought the movie after such a long wait.

But I have to admit that it was hard to catch the theme of the movie until I watch it the second time. Luckily when I was preparing for this abortion message for the Youth Group, Pastor Jaeson wrote an article on Bella movie, and it kinda give me an idea of what the movie will be.
But, overall, it is a wonderful movie!

Some Quotes that I love

Don't measure the size of the mountain; talk to the One who can move it. Instead of carrying the world on your shoulders, talk to the One who holds the universe on his. Hope is a look away. - Max Lucado

If a season of solitude is his way to teach you to hear his song, don't you think it's worth it? - Max Lucado

Though he knows the name of every star and his kingdom spans galaxies, God delights in being a part of our lives. Do you know why he often doesn't answer prayer right away? Because he wants to talk to us, and sometimes that's the only way to get us to stay and talk to him. His heart is for relationship, for shared adventure to the core.

我現在單身﹐並得時常一個人獨處﹐其實原因是顯而易見的。祂乃是要我學習到﹐如何在祂裡面得著滿足與成為完全人﹐因為惟有當我成為那個樣式﹐才算是預備好﹐能與另外一個人分享我的生命。我曉得這一段孤單一人的日子﹐正是預備我具備最佳的領導統御能力﹐以面對將來的挑戰。我也曉得對我自身罪性的沉痛領悟﹐正教導我是多麼地需要主耶穌基督。 - Leslie Ludy

God is doing something

When He is doing something
no one can stop Him
I will just keep myself in Him
and keep this matter in His protection
that one day when I and my life partner meet
before Him
the joy, peace & grace will overflow
and we both will know that He has prepared us for each other
and no one would set us apart

Theme Park of God

=)

A few months ago I did write about having adventure with God on one occassion in church's prayer meeting in my own diary. And after that, I kinda give it a long thought.

Our lives are just like in the theme park of God. Trying all the new and exciting games, and everyday with Him is just full of fun stuff, or surprises that is awaiting for us to go and discover.


Cheers!

Think Twice before you make that decision

Went to the Abortion Prayer Room this morning with the pastors and Uncle Kelton to have a brief idea how we are going to present it to the brothers and sisters in our church and to encourage them to come and pray for this nation so that the people here will come to a realisation that abortion is not right.
The thing that impact me most is about a story on Baby Malachi, which is about a baby that has been aborted and put into frozen jars. But it got too many, and an Obstetrics Gynaelogist put them back together so that they could be the testimony for God. Read story at this website:
http://www.priestsforlife.org/resources/abortionimages/babymalachi.htm
People, start realising that you are actually killing when you want to get a child abort, go to youtube and see. The body is starting to form when they are 1 week old, don't you think it's just too cruel to kill an innocent foetus who can't speak for his/her own? If he/she can talk, I don't think he/she would want to live in this world and experience parents' love just like other children.
Please give life a chance! We are not the creator of life neither we are the giver of life. Only God, and Him alone can take away lives.

Not the time yet

Lately, some aunties and uncles in church have been asking whether I have anyone in mind or would just kindly say it's time for me to get a boyfriend.They even got so worried that some would come up and pray for me. But I feel nothing now...I mean, I still appreciate their gestures and their care for me, but I've got over it. It's like, I used to want to have a boyfriend a lot, but not now anymore. It's like when you give more thoughts to it, it's just a matter that one cannot rush into. I have seen a lot of failed marriages, and I would rather to wait than just simply choose any guy that's in church. If there's none, then, I would remain single.

I don't want to get married because I have done my study and got a so-called job, and it's now to move on to next phase. I admit that life has phases, but without God everything is meaningless. I don't want to do what the world's people are doing...I want something that is different. Different in so that my life has an impact on someone, even if in God's will that I do get married, I want my relationship with my future boyfriend to be an impact to other people, and my marriage to be an impact to other youngsters too.

But, I just don't think it's the time yet. I'm lucky that my parents didn't push me that much, and my spiritual parents (pastor n his wife) didn't push me as well. Pastor is like: just continue serving, that guy would come along, and it's better to get prepared mentally and spiritually to go into marriage and not rushing into it. He even said that if he has a son, he would match us up...haha! I'm blessed!

The time will come...............one day =)
