2007Nov20 - Birthday Celebration (Pst YK & WL)




We went to Dempsey Hut for the celebration. It rained and it was kinda a mess when we tried to shift the tables to a "better" place. Anyway, it was still nice fellowship. Gave many wonderful gifts to the couple. At the ending of the celebration, the gals had a billiard "match" which ended hilarious with some of Melvin's "Qing Qing" to Cheryl. Oops... Haha...

On the way home in bus 133

Shocked and burdened as i'm on my way home in bus 133... Thoughts running through my mind as i see the passing buildings and the unreachable faraway skyscrapers...

I used to think tat there's no future for my life. Even tot i would end up among the shameless lot and having a lowly living. But somehow, i wouldn't give in to it. I fought with my whole heart for a life tat's different. And I made it. And i'm always grateful for what God has allowed me to have.

Still, it wasn't a battle won till many tough fights. It's very hard to put to words but i understand it's a tough battle within. It seems to take more of you than to comfort you. But it's a have-to-make decision in order to be truely free. I pray tat you will be willing to forgive and love as Jesus had.

I'm praying for you. All things work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

p/s: I'm sure he still loves you very much.

I'm dead.

Dead in Christ Jesus.

What a timely msg Pst Ulf has preached.

Without going through sufferings, victories are not fully appreciated. Sufferings magnify the importance and the value of that victory.

Dun run away from defeats nor failures. Failed, you had. Defeats, you know. Go through it. Walk through it. Run through it. Choose. Just dun run away from it. Sufferings you must have. But in Christ Jesus, your shield of faith will quench the fiery darts.

Appreciate your failures and defeats. They are there to make you a better man.

A great purpose will draw great tribulations. You will become a better man.

Barry's Birthday

Start:     Dec 9, '07

once again, back to 7 years ago...

The emotions stirred... It's back to 7 yrs ago again.

In the service, as Pst Ulf spoke and ministered, I was brought back to that incident again. Tears welled up in my eyes and came tingling down my cheeks eventually. I was left so broken and destroyed. My dreams, my vision, my abilities, my calling. Whose voice have I been hearing all these while?

The bible says, your gifts and calling are irrevocable. Do you hear it? Do you believe in it?

Why are u down, flat on the ground? Crushed. Whose voice are you hearing?

Again and again, I have forgiven. I have lifted it up to God. I have. I reali had done it many times. I dun hate the ones involved. But yet the words haunted me again and again. I am afraid. I had ran away from myself. I have lost my strength. I stopped at wherever and remained there. Where do I go from here? I had sunk into the pitch dark depression.

I was left broken and crushed. Feels so real, even now.

"He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. But He needed to go through Samaria."
- Jn 4:3-4

He did it for that one woman. He will do it for you. He will rescue you.

Surely, my gifts and calling are irrevocable...

Waiting. We are stronger than all that.

I'm bored and waiting at SGH for my queue number to be called. Waiting waiting waiting again. Had my blood test and breakfast, and i'm still waiting.

Sometimes, it's reali quite cute to thk of all the waitings we all had gone thru or wld go thru. Waiting for a breakthru, a new building, and another building. Waiting for the prince in shining armor, romance, and the ultimate proposal. Waiting for a family to be formed, and an extension of it.

there are so many waitings and so many surprise happenings tat awaits us. Why give up now? Why let go at tis time when our life is still not even half gone? I am stronger than all this. I am.

I was very encouraged to hear tat Wai Teng is going thru a tough time during tis period yet she hung on to God. The pressure seems to be increasing in the family and the burden that is weighing heavily upon her heart jus gets more obvious. A youth tat's only 16 yet she chose to believe and trust in God. I'm so proud of her. She is stronger than all that.

We have gone thru much more. Surely, we are stronger than all these.
