God is REAL!!!

Passion Easter Camp!!! I had an awesome time and I believe many of us enjoyed it too. Worshiping God, fellowshipping and going crazy (in a good way) with my fellow brothers and sisters from different zones all day long, not to mention throwing people into the sea=)

It was really a retreat for me. Ever since I came back from summer holidays, helping up with orientation, leading a cell, with my big load of pharmacy studies, everything just hit me BOOM BOOM BOOM and a lot of things happened all of a sudden all at the same time. I was really stressed up and I seriously cried so many times, practically every night. I needed to feel God’s presence once again, to be renewed again, making certain that the God I am serving is REAL and has not abandoned me.

Deep down in my heart, I knew this camp was going to be awesome because I trust somehow God was going to touch me and I needed that touch! And true enough I had the best 2.5 days this year. During the 2nd night when Pastor Harold was there, I went for the altar call, pastor prayed for me. Karen, Cindy and a few others prayed for me too and BOOM I felt the electric shock once again! God really touched me and showed me once again that He is REAL. After that, I felt that PEACE (which is the theme of the camp).

He reminded me that He is REAL. The God I read in the bible, The God I hung on to, The God I complained to, The God I cried to every night, The God I knew for 21years of my life, that God is REAL.

Those who have known Him for 10/30/40 years or even just 1 day, He wants you to know that He is REAL. For those who have served Him all your life, for those who have been faithful to His calling, for those who have been giving and sowing faithfully, God wants to remind you that He is REAL. The God you doubt so many times, The God you complained to most often, The God you threw tantrum at, That God is REAL! And for those who have not known this God, He wants you to know that He is REAL.

Today I testify that God is REAL! Come taste and see the goodness and REALness of God!=)

Offering

Offering by Paul baloche

The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your Presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by Your Blood and it's only through you mercy
Lord I come


I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering to You


I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord I bring an offering to You
O Lord I bring an offering to You
O Lord I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering to You

To live is to live life to the fullest

As I sit here, I can't get the image of the elderly man staring into space out of my head. The elderly man was the man I took to shower to assess how he is going with it, the one with dementia, the one who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.

I wondered what he was thinking. I tried stepping into his shoes and pictured how humiliating it must be to have a stranger watching and helping him. He told me later he wanted to go somewhere because he was getting tired of the place, and I took him to the garden. And when I walked away to continue my job, that was when I caught him looking into space.

I felt my heart break for him. For others. When there were two deaths a few days ago, I was reminded of when my own grandmother passed away.

What is life? What is it like to live till an old age, to be faced with uncertainty of what tomorrow may bring? To have loved ones taken away one by one? To have memory and body failing you?

And as I pondered, I do not know the answers. Maybe I will one day. What really matters now for me are the big important lessons I'm learning every single day. That life is short. Our time here on earth is precious, and it is timed.

Every working day, I am reminded of that. I am reminded that I have my youth now, I have the capacity, the ability, and the opportunities to go the distance. I realise that I do not want to short change my time for things that will not mean anything when I'm 80. I will have all the time in the world to myself then, for now, I want to make each day matter not only to myself but to someone else.

I want to live each day to the fullest. I want to love like I never have. I want to lay down my life for God and for people. There's so much to do, so much to see, so much to live for. God will take care of that but first; I have to be willing to surrender, to trust and to obey Him.

I want to truly live so that maybe, just maybe, when I'm old, I will have done all the things God put me here on earth to do. I will have spent all the time I have wisely that I will not have any regrets. I will be prepared to meet my Maker, and spend my remaining days contented with the blessings I have.

I will stare into space reminded of the great things God has done in my life, and dream about finally meeting God whom I love most face to face. And just maybe, I will recite to those young sweet people about my journey home.

Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, every single day. May I after being awakened, work towards living it out, and fight against falling back into slumber.

May the depths of your soul and spirit be awakened to that fact so God can do something new and amazing in you each day. May you truly live and live truly.

'Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom' Psalm 90:12

Good Friday

Today, Christ died for me on the cross. He endured humiliation, injustice, suffering and pain so I can live.
I am thankful. I praise Him. I love Him. and I pray I will grow to love God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind.

Today, Christ died for us on the cross. He endured humiliation, injustice, suffering and pain so we can live.
We are saved, we love Him, but how much are we willing to sacrifice for Him? How much of Him do we really want to see? How far are we willing to go for Him?

Today, Christ died for them on the cross. He endured humiliation, injustice, suffering and pain so they can live. My heart cries out for those who do not know Him, those who are lost, those who are ignorant, those who wandered away.

How many have I passed by today? How many have I neglected? How many have I gave up on? How many have I chosen to ignore because I was tired or selfish or full of me-my problems, my limited time, my life?

My heart cries. The Holy Spirit has convicted. God has spoken.

Christ died for everyone.
