I had an interesting dream this morning

This morning, I woke up because of an interesting dream. Read on ...
____

We were all seated in canteen, at tables and benches just like what you have in primary and secondary schools. Different groups of us are in the midst of some forms of discussion over our meals. The group of people I was seated with was discussing about the calling of God.

"Haha. Yvonne, you look like a legal aid tat earns alot of money rather than a secretary. "

"Well, it's for the ministry that i'm willing to sacrifice. If i'm reali a legal aid outside then probably i wont be working as hard. Haha." 

I stood up and was preparing to leave. And Dawn passing lixia white tic-tac sweets thru me. ;P

From a few tables away, pauline stood up and said: "Yvonne, your recent post on success has caused a discussion here." A lady at that same table stood up, and she was 曾晓英. She went on to say:“如果说“失败乃成功之母”,比喻成生意,那这生意是不是妈妈谈成了,女儿就谈不成了?女儿谈成了,妈妈就失败了呢?"

(I have no idea why all these pp are in my dreams especially 曾晓英?!! Goodness. I don't even see her on TV.)

Anyway, I was challenged with that question about the saying "失败乃成功之母" and how it's contradictory on success. So all eyes were on me. And the question just kept repeating on my mind. And I woke up with this question! urgh... disturbed sleep again... So I was trying to make myself go back to sleep. But the question was still bugging me. So this time, i really woke up and seriously thought about the question. And 3 passages came to my mind.

Matt 10:35-39
For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me... And he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

Matt 12:46,50
While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside. seeking to speak with Him... For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."

Matt 15:4-7
"For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say,'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"--'then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"

I dunno what came to your mind when you read the 3 passages but to me it was very very clear...

If success is represented by "your mother and brother", then the passage tells us that if our predecessor of success has LIMITED us more than it encouraged us to be successful in our ministry then we are missing out on one very simple fact. We are missing out on the fact that it is GOD we are serving, and the Kingdom of God that we are trying to expand.

Many times, as we grow in ministry, we become limited exactly by the ones that made us successful. Bcos we feel we "owed" them our success and we become afraid to move forward further than them. And these considerations are very understandable. But Jesus says we gotta take up our own cross to follow Him. The calling that He has given us is irrevocable. Your friend will not achieve his calling just because u give up yours. And vice versa. So everyone of us is RESPONSIBLE in taking up our own cross to follow Jesus and bring that vision and calling to pass.

Now, don't get me wrong now... No matter how much more achieved we have become, we got to always remember to HONOR our predecessors of faith. The ones that had made things possible for us. The ones that had shaped and moulded us in our growing up years. If we think we have achieved far more and have this attitude that you have surpassed them and there is no need for you to honor them, bcos it is God's gift and your own hard work, the bible says Jesus calls you hypocrites and that you have worship Him in vain.

An apt example: Pastor Kong. It's Canon James Wong's 50th year in the ministry. Now he's old, and not many of the younger generation knows about what he has done for the Christian world in Singapore. Yet, in many ways, Pastor Kong has chosen to honor this predecessor of faith. There was also a time when Canon laid down his life for the conviction and the calling of God in his life. The many sacrifices he made that brought revival and changes. All these had not limited Pastor Kong from moving on and responding to the calling that God has given him. But he's always honoring this man of God that have aged. I feel so honored to have such a great man as our senior Pastor. I'm so moved in my heart.

We have to do everything we can to fulfill that purpose and calling that God has given us. Be it in the marketplace or in the ministry, we got do our best for God and the KOG. But dun forget to look back at all those that have made it possible for you to be where you are today and where you will be in the days to come. Be a grateful and honoring person.

So with this, I also want to thank Pastor Yock Kiang for being such a wonderful leader. Today, as I prayed for you, I was in tears. I remembered the times when I failed, you were there to forgive and restore me. The times when you had chosen to give me the space I needed to grow emotionally, mentally and spiritually, instead of just "making" me change. I can't ask for a better leader than you. Just like what you have told me almost 10yrs ago, you are not just my leader, you are my friend and my brother. These 10yrs had shown me that you are, reali indeed, my brother and not just a Pastor, a boss or an authority over me. Thank you very much, Pastor. I really appreciate every chance you had given me. Thank you very much.

Yippee!


Pastor Kenneth was so nice. He wanted to encourage me and got his zone ldrs to buy and deliver this to me yesterday at my house. And of the "UPS" was none other than my deary sister, ah peng. Some of Vic's members also ordered a big "doggy" and a bouquet of flowers for me! I was so cheered up! Even Shane smsed me that he heard I was sick and prayed with his BS group for me. Wow. I was so touched... And, of course, Pastor YKthe rest of the leaders and friends that kept sending me sms, msn-ing me and leaving a comment on my blog to cheer me on. Thank you everyone!

I just went for my scan. And the scan showed that all has cleared up!!! It was a GOOD scan report! PTL! All glory be onto Him! I am so relieved!!! I am so so happy that I can get my mind off this finally. I just need to go back 6 monthly to do routine check. Yippee!!!!!!

2nd Radio-Iodine Treatment

PTL! Today is The Day. And I just wanna thank God that i didn't feel any "change" till now. Thank God my jaw and throat didn't swell up like the last time. So happy.

But the tiredness feeling is still very much felt. One moment I will feel alert and the next I will feel like collapsing into my sleep. Haha. But all these WITHOUT the swell and frustration felt during the 1st treatment is already very comforting.

The most miserable thing is perhaps the blood test today. HA! Usually, I dun feel anything abt it cos I was so used to the needle poking in and out to draw blood. But not sure why it's especially painful today. Even after I reached home, the pain was still there. Strange. The nurse was very nice though. Hehe.

Will be on MC till Thu. After the scan on Thu, I would be able to go on normal diet and my THYROXINE. So on Friday, I can go back to work!!! So exciting. So many back-logs to clear leh. Hehe.

Then on Tue go for leaders' mtg and after that I'll be heading for Shanghai!!! Woo hoo!! So happy! YEY!

God is All-Knowing

After the Saturday's blog post on how terrible I felt, I think I better quickly overwrite that post. Haha. Cos reali it was at that point or that hour I felt terrible because of the cab ride to expo. I reali felt like crying at that point. Especially, when you simply didn't want to explain the misery anymore. But I know everyone of them cared. Thanks.

Anyway, I want to write on something happy. Haha. Yeah...

On Saturday night, after I returned home, I was working on something and received a piece of news/info. It was sort of a prayer answered. In fact, I just prayed on Wednesday. 

On Wednesday, I was on MC and feeling terrible. So I decided to spend time praying and worshipping. During the time, I was led to pray on something, which I don't think it is time to share, and it just went on to almost 2hrs. Wow. So, on Saturday, someone told me something and I was AMAZED at the goodness of God. What a timely prayer answered to encourage me that God has heard my prayers and so He will answer the other prayers that I have also made. PTL.

Today, I was keeping myself occupied to fight my tiredness and frustrations. So I was stuck on working on something and beginning to feel reali impatient. So to cool myself a little, I took a toilet break and like uttered a "prayer" in my mind. And almost immediately, like a light bulb that lit up, "You can actually do this."  WOW. I didn't know if it would reali work, but I felt like an "ERMP!" in the spirit. Came out of the toilet and tried it and it WORKED!!!!!! O God is so good... And I just felt so HAPPY bcos of smthg so "small?" 

Our God is reali ALL-KNOWING! 

God is good. Just have a simple faith in Him.

feeling terrible

i'm feeling very terrible now as i write. At expo waiting for svc to start. While everyone is probably expecting impartation during svc later, i'm wishing tat the svc will be real short. I'm only thinking abt how terrible i'm feeling now. Feel like vomiting. Very tired physically.

I had a whole nite of disturbed sleep. Woke up so many times that i couldn't even keep count. The churning in my stomach, the heaviness in my heart and head. Gosh. My fingers are trembling. I just needed to blog to feel slightly distracted from the discomfort.

God, help! Grace grace.

In the midst of it all

When chaos and troubles are going on... Some thoughts crossed my mind as i calmed my heart, praying to Him who hears and comforts.

"God, you are still good. Greater are You who is in me than what is happening on the outside of me." Sobbing and groaning. Still trying to take a hold of myself.

"It is times like this when you came to Me that you had built strength in your character." I heard that in my heart and i stopped sobbing.

Many flashbacks of those times when I went to Him in prayers, still crying and weeping, calming my heart and mind. The decisions and the prayers I had made. The sweetness and strength that came out of it.

Strong character is built in the midst of troubles and trials.

The point is the kind of character you are building on.

You are as strong as what you have chosen to build in your character. Nobody dictates your life. 

When you are knocked down, defeated, or weary, it's that character, that substance, you have chosen previously or even right now, that will pick you up to carry on or keep you down.

Faith is a substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. 

I will be who I am called to be because of that substance of character.

Imagination stirs and motivates.
Character stands and moves. Paradox?

Separate

On MC today. Physically, very tired. Woke up and within seconds would fall back into sleep. Like not within my control to wake up kind of a thing. And I knew I was reali reali very tired. So went to see doc jus to take MC. The doc knows that when I'm off Thyroxine this will happen so he kindly gave me 2 days MC. If I still feel this way tmr, I will even be taking urgent leave on Fri. But I will be fine by next Thu/Fri. PTL. :)

Yesterday, we had leaders' mtg again. The mtg started as usual with worship and then praying. As we were praying loud and strong in the spirit, I just felt that God spoke into my heart, "Do not strife with Me." I don't know if it sounded correct but yielded. I prayed softly but still engaging in the spirit. And began wondering what was God trying to say to me. And as that word kept repeating in my mind, tears just welled up. In my mind, I didn't quite understand. But in my spirit, I felt God was doing a work. After praying in the spirit for quite some time, I looked into the Bible in my HP. And it was brought to my attention on Abram and Lot.

Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left." - Gen 13:8-9

As I read the verses, the words just burnt within my heart. "no strife between you and me... for we are brethren... separate from me."

Abram had referred to Lot as his brethren. He wasn't referring to brethren as an enemy nor an evil companion. Lot was a brethren to him. But yet, he asked that Lot be separated from him.

There are many things in our lives that are considered "our brethren", good things, desires and interests. But yet these things can strife within us for the place of the purpose of God in our lives. And if we are to step into that purpose and the promise of God, we got to learn to SEPARATE from those good things in our lives. Being separated from the bad is not good enough. In lives, there are choices that bring us from bad to good, from good to progress, progress to excellence. That little more in our separation work determines where we will go on to or stay.

It goes deep down to, "What do you really want in your life?"

If you really want success in your life, you got to learn to make choices to not just circumcise yourself from the bad, but even from the good. :)

Then I went to another verse.

You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it. You prepared room for it, and caused it to take deep root, and it filled the land. - Ps 80:8-9

Some people think that they are useless and worthless before they came to Christ. But yet the Bible says that God has brought a VINE, a potential of growth and value, out of our sins.

God had done the "casting out" work, planted us, prepared for us, empowered us. Now, it's in our hands to fill the land the potentials in this vine. 

There are truly many good things our lives that we have. But if we are dreaming of success, something greater than ourselves, we got to discipline ourselves and separate ourselves from even the good things that will hinder us in going onto excellence. It's a circumcision work.

What do you do with the excess time that you have in the morning or at night?

- Read to gain knowledge?
- Or nap, when you are already having more than 7hours of sleep?

- Sign up for a course to expand yourself?
- Or be a couch-potato in front of the TV for nites?

- How about waking early to exercise for the Temple of the Holy Spirit?
- Or just too tired from yesterday's late night online games and movie?

- What about going to office/school earlier to pray for your colleagues and friends?
- Or revival is just a sound-nice desire to you?

We are not poor. We have the currency, "Time", to learn and expand.

We are not weak. We have the strength, "The power of the Holy Spirit", to execute what God has put into our hearts before the foundation of the earth.

What do you really want in life? C'mon, do something with what you already have.

Feeling more and more tired

This morning started bad for me. Very tired. Didn't sleep well last night and sort of find it hard to wake up. Woke up at 6am with nightmares and I was having numbness no matter which position i tried to sleep. Then I "huang ran da wu" that I didn't take my calcium pills. 

The calcium pills are supposed to regulate the calcium level in my blood which affects my heart. So that also explains why there are nightmares. Scientist explains that if you put pressures on your heart you will tend to have more dreams and probably nightmares. So nowadays when I have nightmares or can't sleep well, I will think of my calcium intake.

Ok. Then there was something else that made me rather down. Shall not share it here. Anyway, I just want to believe that it's cos of I stopped Thyroxine that has caused me to feel especially down and affected. But I was reali fuming and saddened by it. What a way to start a busy Tuesday. 

No mood for anything. So thought that i should just blog it to get it off my heart and mind. God is a good God. Moreover, Kless blogged that God reads blog! Haha. So God, pls let your joy be my strength. Amen.

Dad's Birthday

Went to celebrate my Dad's birthday over a simple catered dinner from Golden Pillow at my parents' place. Sad on my part cos I couldn't eat seafood including fish and seaweed. So my sister also can't cater a lot of stuff. But the curry chicken is special cos it's presented inside the bread. That's why it's call "golden pillow".

We gave Dad a coin pouch and a waist pouch. He seems happy! Hee.


My Dad is already 64 yrs old, yet he's still working at a construction film as a supervisor. Physically, it's still rather straining for him. 
He has to go out of the house every morning at 6.30am to drive his workers from Tuas to Bedok for work. And then get tired and dirty teaching the workers exactly how to do the stuff. Then drive them back from Bedok to Tuas. By the time he reaches home, it's already 7pm. 
Well, all these because he doesn't believe in lazing around doing nothing.

Since young, my Dad is a man to be feared of. At least for me, I was rather scared to relate with him. What he has decided no one can change it. No reasoning.

But he's a man I respect alot. He had nothing much since young. Not even a wee-bit of education, i thk. He had to fight for his own living. He learnt construction from scratch without any formal education. He was respected by the construction graduates for his experience and knowledge. One of them even became his close friend till now. So I believe in working hard. 

O ya, he quitted his years of smoking habit within a day! Mind you, he probably started smoking since 10yrs old! So to him, nothing is impossible if you reali want to do it. Wow. 
Hao qiang wo.

Another thing about him that I love... He's very good to his friends. 
He sort of made it when he was in his 30s. 
Considered quite rich then and had his own company. 
To the cut the story short, he loaned his car to his friend and his friend mortgaged his car without his knowledge because of gambling debts. 
Can you beat that?! 
And this sort of thing happened i thk twice or more! 
And my mum said... at least he learnt what kind of friends they are. 
My goodness. Back then, Honda cars were definitely luxury but he didn't feel the pinch on the lost of cars and money at all. He still helped them to settle their debts. 
According to my mum, some of them are rich now and they still have not returned a single cent of the $10k-20k they "borrowed" from my dad 20yrs ago... 
But it seems to not affect him at all.
Because of my dad, friends have also become a much valued part in my life as well. 
And i've learnt that you should use things to win pp and not the other around.

Like many Asian parents, my dad doesn't tell us he loves us. 
But deep within my heart, I know he does.
And I also love my dad.

Vic's Birthday 2008




Press in

Tuesday Ldrs' Mtg with Pastor Yock Kiang was awesome.

Pst YK shared on leadership.
______________________

Acts 8:4-15
Leadership is all about inspiring people.
In our leadership, do we INSPIRE people?
After being a leader for some time, are we still at the cutting edge in inspiring people?

How do you inspire?

John 6:68
1) People follow you when you have a REVELATION from God.
    - As a leader, you must not be afraid to challenge people.

Matt 4:19
2) You got to give them a vision that is greater than themselves.
    - When you have a great vision, you actually attract the right group of people for that vision.

John 21:18
3) To inspire people, you got to inspire them with love.

John 15:18
4) Inspire people with commitment and the willingness to sacrifice.

Ask yourself, are you a leader that inspires?
_______________________

We then went into a time of worship and praying. The presence of God came and touched us in such a great way. Pastor prayed for the leaders. My heart goes out to them as Pastor prayed for them. I pray that none of them will give up in inspiring pp and leading their pp. Many times, the price that they had paid were not small, yet the reward seemed to not match up. But I pray they will "stick around" long enough to see that God is indeed good.

Personally, during the worship time, a thought went through my mind... "Is that reali possible?" And almost immediately, I felt God spoke to me, "Just touch Me and you will know." Right at that moment, I felt so overwhelmed. 

Just so simple? "Just touch Me." And i was reminded of the woman with the issue of blood. She touched the garment of Jesus and the power went out from Him to her to heal her. Wow. It just exploded within me.

And today Pastor Kong preached on spiritual hunger.
______________________

1Chron 4:9-10

"Honorable" (Gk. Kabod) means glory, substance and weight.

Jabez pressed into God in spite of his background.
But Jabez had unusual spiritual hunger.
Your hunger will determine your destiny.

He prayed that:
- God will bless his spiritual life
- God will enlarge his testimony
- God's presence and power will be upon his life
- God will keep him from evil

MAIN POINT: Spiritual Hunger will always lead to praying

Isa 40:30-31

How passionate are you?

Matt 6:5, Ps 91:1
_______________

During the ministry time after the preaching, I was reminded on how sometimes we feel that we have been "left behind" by the world as we commit ourselves to God. And sometimes, we feel that we are always at a disadvantage because we love God and serve God. But then the truth of the matter is that we are actually AHEAD of the rest. While we were only 15 yrs old, we learn how to handle persecution, discouragement, failures, being ostracized, etc. So that when we are at the peak of our careers, we make wise choices and we don't have to learn these only then. I felt so encouraged in my heart on such a revelation to encourage my young ones.

This week CGM was not so easy for me. Leg was in pain. And I was totally drained out after CGM. I thought it was a good CGM, but i just felt so down physically, mentally and emotionally. Felt weirdly discouraged, yet I know i wasn't spiritually discouraged. But I needed assurance very much. I wonder when will I have my "Aaron & Hur" to carry my tired hands.

Without Thyroxine

Just after about 1 day without my thyroid medication, i am already totally drained out. I hit straight into my sleep once i lay on my bed. TIRED. Now is the 4th day without the medication, my dark circles are so obvious. I am just so tired. 

And I just read up online on what I might experience during this 2 wks before I go back to my medication... O Gosh...

Borderline personality disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a long-term disturbance of personality function. It is one of four related diagnoses typified by disturbance in impulse control and emotional dysregulation, the others being narcissistic-histrionic- and antisocial personality disorders.

Disturbances suffered by those with borderline personality disorder are wide-ranging. The general profile of the disorder typically includes a pervasive instability in mood, extreme "black and white" thinking, or "splitting", chaotic and unstable interpersonal relationshipsself-imageidentity, and behavior, as well as a disturbance in the individual's sense of self. In extreme cases, this disturbance in the sense of self can lead to periods of dissociation

Ok. That explains why I am feeling happy and excited one moment and then down the next. But not as "kua zhang" as what is stated above la. Just that I kept praying in tongues. Dun like the feeling.

Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) ...logically they also process information more slowly. A key behavioural characteristic of those with SCT symptoms is that they are more likely to appear to be lacking motivation. They lack energy to deal with mundane tasks and will consequently seek things that are mentally stimulating because of their underaroused state. Those with SCT symptoms show a qualitatively different kind of attention deficit that is more typical of a true information input-output problem, such as memory retrieval and active working memory.

That explains why I am feeling so "SLOW" and tired. I just feel like sleeping. I wonder how I am going to tahan till CGM is over tmr. By the grace of God la. 

Can you imagine the doc wants me to go without thyroxine for 4 wks?! Thank God I requested to only go without it for 2 wks instead of 4 cos now I oreadi can't tahan liao... There are so many common and uncommon symptoms that may show up and many of it I am experiencing it now.... And I can still remember so clearly how it feels like when I went through the treatment and being isolated in the room for 3 days. Feel like crying just at the thought of it.

Pls pray for me. I'm sorry but do excuse me if I am not so nice to you during this period. Thank you for your prayers.

Read in a book last week...

No one can tell you what you can or cannot do in your life. 
Only you can determine that. 

Your greatness is often found at the end of the road
and when it comes to turning your ideas into money, 
there are many times when you come to the end of the road.

Today's Service...

Today, Pst Tan preached a sermon that is a continuation of the previous week. It was really very good. Felt very ministered and encouraged.
______________________

*Think with Excellence*

2 Pet 1:5-7
Right thinking will result in right methods and behaviours.

7 stages: Virtue, Knowledge, Self-control, Perseverance, Godliness, Brotherly Kindness, Love.

Virtue = Gk. Arete means excellence.
Foolishness and laziness are severely condemned in the bible.

"Excellence" = to exceed a given standard that is ordinary, average, terrible or unworthy.

Excellence is:
1. To be superior in quality.
- If anything is worth, it's worth doing it excellent.
- If you don't have time to be excellent, you won't have time to re-do it a second time.
- Promotion comes when you have excellence in your work and not because you are nice.
- Disorder invites more disorder.
Song 2:15
- Very often, it is the little details that spoil the "vine".

2. To obtain greater in quantity.
John 15:16 To achieve your dream, you must be willing to pay the price for success.
Ps 126:5-6 The degree we pay the price determines the degree we would achieve our dreams

a. Puts a demand on the heart
Pro 4:23
- High achievers have a great reservoir of emotions to keep themselves going.
Eg. The donkey that shakes off the dirt and step onto it eventually survives and achieves its purpose.
b. Puts a demand on your time
c. Puts a demand on your money

3. To transcend your job description.
-Matt 5:41 The first mile represent duty, the second represent love.
-love begins after the demands of duty have been met.

4. To outdo yourself each time.
-Eph 6:5-6

10 Contrasts
1. Law vs Liberty 
Gal 5:13 
- create in the pp the desire to do it and not bcos they have to do it.

2. System vs Service
Matt 20:25-28
- remember your purpose.

3. Self-centred vs Sprit-centred
Zech 4:6
-God is looking for willing heart and that we lean upon Him.

4. Legalism vs Love
-Pp stay bcos they can feel that this is a place where they are accepted and it's a family to them.

5. Fear vs Faith

6. Control vs Care/Concern
2 Tim 1:6-7

7. Duty vs Devotion
Ex 17:12
-Devotion takes us to another mile.
-Take ownership.

8. Getting vs Giving
2 Cor 9:6-7
-It's not able what we can gain out of the networking but what we can benefit others in it.
-Be a person that uses things to win pp and not one that uses pp to win things.

9. Explanation vs Example
John 13:13-14
-Jesus was first an example in serving before he taught the disciples to serve.

10. Bondage vs Breakthrough

Jesus takes the rejects of the world and turn it into excellence.

God uses the base things of the world to shame the wise.

San & Johnson's Birthday Dinner @ HK Cafe

Went to celebrate Sandra and Johnson's Birthday at East Coast Park's HK Cafe. Yieping and I reached more than 30min later than the rest, but at the end our food came even before theirs. Reason given by the staff was the system went wrong and the orders were messed up... Haiz... But we got our drinks free bcos of Johnson's "demanding" for customer service. HAHA.

Celebrating Xiang's Birthday at a Restaurant inside Sentosa Golf Club




We entered Sentosa without paying when we said we were going to the Golf Club. Cool. Never knew that the restaurant is open to the public.

Nice food. And quite cheap too. But of course it depends on what you order... We ate ALOT... And most of all, we had LOTS of laughter that night. One of the classic thing that I heard that night was Roy's attempt to rationalize Xiang into overcoming her fears for cockroaches and lizards: "The Cockroaches Are Screaming..." HAHA. I laughed so hard... Haven't had such a great laugh together with them such a long time.

Sentosa is so beautiful at night. So enchanting...
