JW Q&A session
yo peeps. this suppose to be last saturday post, but too tired and busy to post it. therefore drag until now. please pardon me and thank you. surprisingly, i went to Jurong West for service on saturday. to my surprise, there was no preaching at all. it was a Q&A[question and answer] session with Dr Kevin Dyson. a pity sister Joy wasn't there, but she did attended expo service on sunday. anyway, back to it. just wanna share about what happen during saturday's Q&A session. its roughly the same idea, talking about relationship. GUYS! listen up! the Q&A on sunday is directed to you all, GUYS! what is shocking about saturday's Q&A was that i heard it before. hmm... pondering and wondering, deep in thoughts. how could it happen? obviously not live la. i hear before the whole service in my dreams! shocked? i myself was, that's when i was trying hard to figure out how come the scene was super duper familiar. when i even could tell what is Dr Dyson gonna say before he even open his mouth. anyway. much similar for saturday and sunday Q&A session la. but one difference is that, Dr Dyson talks about "Jesus second returns" on saturday, and not on sunday. *thinking hard, recalling what he said.* he shared about a story to us, to help bringing the picture into the mind's of the congregation. [pardon me. story is in vague memory, not vivid at all.] the story is about a master and his servants. the servants were brought along to a wedding feast, provided if they did what as their master instructed. the master went out before the feast started. they were suppose to light their lamps or something, as each individual one has it. so they did what were told. those lamps were use to direct or signal the master that that's the home or something like that? [gosh! i really can't remember the story.] after a while, the rebellious heart pumped. one servant suggested to "eat snake" [jia zuah]. they decided to wait till is nearing the time their master is going to be back, then they will start borrowing oil lamps/ fuels/ candles [whatever it helps to light up]. arrangement was such made that, around the neighbourhood, no one has spare/ extras of any of these things, neither does all the shops. therefore, for a foolish mistake, they weren't able to attend the wedding feast. what Dr Dyson wants to get across is, our spiritual life. this story is like the current us. no one knows when Jesus second return will be, so we have to always be prepared. we have to build up our spiritual life, individually. because, we can't be like those lazy servants, to borrow others possesion at the last minute. quote from Dr Dyson: "you can't borrow other people's spiritual life for yourself." which is true. you don't borrow things at the eleventh hour and moreover, other's spiritual life. so don't be lazy in building strong foundation and living. and while we prepare all this waiting for HIS return, reach out to people as well. quote from Pastor Tan: "humble down. everyone is equal." so peeps, we gotta humble ourselves to reach out to others [not saying e462 is proud, but peeps, you know who you are.] don't because you are rich, smart, in authority or whatever else, then you are high up. it will be difficult to reach out to the surrounding, our friends. i didn't record the service, so i can't type exactly word by word. so please pardon me. just wanna try to get the message across, because i think its really great. 大家加油! [i know this is a stupid post. you wasted time reading this.]

WAHAHAHA!!! SUPER KAWAII
Here's the 2nd batch of the beautiful people in E462! Guess who these babies are!? Clue: She always smiles..sometimes she doesn't say anything at all! We've seen a lot of improvements in her and we don't have to lean over to hear what she's saying. There's a Korean song about her name that Bear likes to sing. :)
Clue: Just look at the smile! It's so obvious. He likes to make up songs like this one that a group of us sang 2 Sundays ago : i wanna ask Jonathan/ if he wants to play/ left for dead (clap, clap) 2x! Woohoo! Lol. We sang that while walking around Central. Yeah, that's how we entertain ourselves when we get bored.
Clue: This may be the only time we have ever seen her in a dress..but we're still hoping in the coming years...haha. Anyway, who doesn't know this baby? She's a sports gal – netball, basketball, captain's ball, etc. If you need the new worship song, you can always count on her to send it to you on msn. Until the next batch of babies, E.

THE BALD AND THE BEAUTIFUL BABIES We didn't really expect all this to happen. We didn't expect the flood of photo albums last Sunday.We were just sitting and talking on the bus. Suddenly Hui Yan showed her primary pic and secondary pic. The first thing that came to my mind was – WHAT HAPPENED? No, just kidding. Lol. What i really thought was Hui Yan became prettier over the years and i believe she will grow from glory to glory (wink, wink).Note: These pictures can't be used for blackmail. :)So, you guys..try to guess who are these cute babies. Here's the first batch of all you beautiful people. FIRST UP. Clue: He loves to sing. Enough clue. Lol. SECOND. Clue: She lives where we have cg every Saturday. She can sing, act, dance, draw and tell jokes. All at the same time. THIRD. Clue: Duh..it's obvious. Even as a baby, she was already a beauty.
FOURTH. Clue: She started blogging and taking photos when she was 2 years old. Just kidding. I think the internet wasn't even an idea when she was 2.
Until the next batch of baby pics, E.

The Presence of God
So Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.Exodus 24:18 Moses was a lover of God’s presence. In Exodus 24:9-10, we read: “Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel.” They literally saw God! That happened on Mount Sinai, which is a picture of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. When a believer is filled in the Spirit, the Lord really becomes very clear to him or her. When the Holy Spirit is around, there is a very strong presence of God. You know He is there. You can sense Him. You can feel Him. Your heart starts to melt and tears begin to flow down your cheeks. Sometimes, His presence is so overwhelming that your limbs give way under the weight of His glory. Unfortunately, religiosity has diluted our walk with God to a non-experience. Religiosity has reduced God to a mere moral, philosophical entity. Some even try to highlight that we don’t need experiences, all we need are just the “success” principles from the Bible. But what’s wrong with “feeling” God’s presence? If feeling is bad, then why would God give you emotions in the first place? Why would God give you a spirit and not allow you to be spiritually alive toward Him? Of course, God wants you to feel Him! If the saints of the old covenant could have such powerful, intimate encounters with God, how much more should we Christians of the new covenant? And the truth is that we can because the Holy Spirit is now poured upon all flesh (Acts 2:17). In the Bible, the Holy Spirit is likened to the wind, which means that you can feel His movement. He is likened to the fire, which means you can feel His warmth. He is likened to a river, which means that you can feel His flow. He is likened to the rain, which means that you can feel Him falling on you. He is likened to an atmosphere, which means that His presence can unmistakably permeate the whole room you are sitting in. Moses was so hungry for God’s presence that he was willing to scale the rugged terrain of Mount Sinai to spend time with God. And he spent 40 days and 40 nights in that presence, during which he received the vision for God’s house—the tabernacle. The Holy Spirit wants to speak to you daily in visions and dreams. Get spiritually hungry and, by faith, enter into His presence in your daily devotions. From: http://www.konghee.com/www/?p=2199

Hey guys! i'm still alive and kickin'. LOL. it's not because of the recession that i didn't blog for so long. haha. One of the reasons was THE computer crash. LOL. Even our laptop knows how to sympathize with the stock market.
Anyway, yesterday, we went for iWorship 101(exclusive) which was held at Tiong Bahru. Guess who the teacher was? None other than Bro. Poh!First of all, it was cool. *As we stepped inside the room, you could feel the presence of God and it was real strong. Immediately, the verse about "worshippers who worship in spirit and in truth" came to me. Here were all the people just lifting up their hands, singing their hearts out to God and it was amazing. You could feel everyone having a revival!
*In case you were wondering, we got lost and we had to take a bus back, cross the street and look for the place which was kind of hard to find. If it were not for the sign outside which said "...worship class", we would've missed this great meeting.
So, we settled down and Bro. Poh talked about having a balance between being spiritual and having the skills. It's important to rely on the Spirit and at the same time, to upgrade ourselves. I could say that this doesn't only apply to guitar playing and song leading, it applies to every area of our lives. i was really awestruck by how enthusiastic and passionate Bro. Poh is about what he was teaching. He said we were going to bring the fire down during the praise and worship time of our cellgroups because of what we were going to learn. He shared his experiences as a music director, cellgroup guitarist and worship leader.
What really made an impact on me was his closing statement which went something like this: Putting aside all the big events in our church, we have about 40 weeks left in which we can have our cg meetings. "Every cg meeting that we have is a chance to touch people's lives. Every cg meeting is a chance not only to be touched by God but an opportunity to bring a change in someone else's life. Every cg meeting is not a routine or just another meeting, it's a chance to be a miracle to someone else. If that miracle can happen when you play the guitar or when you lead the members through a song IN ONE cg meeting, imagine what 40 cg meetings can do!"
There were so many things that Bro. Poh wanted to teach us and so many things he wanted to tell us that i can't say anything else but a big "WOW". Next lesson, it will be about worshipping in the Spirit and a whole lot more so i'm gearing myself up for a boost in my spiritual life --and my guitar playing (lol..it won't be a 4 chord-playing anymore)!
P.S. OVERDUE photos from Kim's musical.
