Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

God has been so kind and faithful.. Personally He has been teaching me to trust His good and perfect will.. to be sure of His goodness even if i don't understand His plans for me, in essence just to walk with Him day by day and enjoy this walk.. :) Steve Nicaud preached on our overnight prayer meeting service last week, about gifts of the Spirit, followed by impartation of gifts of prophecy, knowledge and wisdom, and we were sure that God's Spirit was moving in our presence, in a tangible manner! After the preaching and impartation, he made us pair up with a person we don't know very well and ask God for a vision for that person..and people were just doing it, praise God! :) It's very encouraging to see fellow christians moving in the gifts of the Spirit, it encourages the person who is prophecying and the person who is being prophecied to too :) It's so exciting! Paul also has plans to make us go out to the streets of the neighborhood randomly to ask ppl if they want to be prayed for.. this is more scary than going to blk 26! hahaha, but we'll just trust God and humbly ask for Him to use us as His mouth, hands and feet to the people who need him... it's really really amazing how God works... Ben's friend suddenly called him one day to ask him to share his songs and his faith journey with the youths from his church, and we went there on Sunday to share. Haha, the youths and the pastor were very nice, and they said they were encouraged by the songs and his testimonies and message, so really thank God! We never imagined God to use his songs in such a way.. It's just too amazing and unimaginable.. It was rather awkward seeing Ben surrounded by many youths tho :p We are currently making plans ( a team of 6, including Paul, Ben and I) to go to China this december! it's very exciting! Other than that the other 3 will be teaching pronounciation in a deaf/mute school while Ben and i will be teaching English at a local hostel...Ministry and prayer will be in Chinese, so we are trying to get used to it by meeting once a month to pray together in Chinese...Coincidentally my mama has a english-chinese dictionary at home :) There are many many more exciting things! like weekly healing services for cancer/diabetic patients with a clinic.....God is just so good, and the way He moves is just too amazing.. Listening to "worshipping You' by Deluge. It's really simple, but it's really nice. Enjoy! Read through Esther and Job today, and learnt alot!!!! I was pretty amazed at what i read in Job, especially chapters 38-41, when God replies Job. The chapters before that were rather long and dreary to me T-T Anways, it was so good! It really opened my eyes to see how great and incomprehensible God is! ( the song 'Indescribable' was taken from Job 38? ) it's super duper cool! go read it, i'm sure you'll be blown AWAY! some extracts: Job 38 34"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters may cover you? 35Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'? 36Who has put wisdom in the inward parts or given understanding to the mind? 37Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens, 38when the dust runs into a mass and the clods stick fast together? 39"Can you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, 40when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in their thicket? 41Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God for help, and wander about for lack of food? it even talks about why the ostrich is stupid! Job 39 13"The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, but are they the pinions and plumage of love?[a] 14For she leaves her eggs to the earth and lets them be warmed on the ground, 15forgetting that a foot may crush them and that the wild beast may trample them. 16She(K) deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers; though her(L) labor be in vain, yet she has no fear, 17because God has made her forget wisdom and(M) given her no share in understanding. 18When she rouses herself to flee,[b] she laughs at the horse and his rider. Yes i am really blown away by everything in the 3 chapters. I just kinda think that animals are free to roam anywhere, nature just acts when it does... but God truly is the Creator of everything and He is in control of every single single of His creation! PHWOAH!!!!! Went to Blk 26 on Friday, Stephen left me and Ben to go knocking on doors by ourselves for a while, and we felt quite lost! So we prayed and just went around. I think when it's just the 2 of us we feel quite alone. Anyways, we knocked on this lady's door, as it was opened anyways, but she was very wary of who we were. She explained to us that she's become more skeptical to visitors because of the scams lately whereby people pretend to be volunteers to old people and when the old people invite them in, they rob the people! Because of that, we were happy to just stand at the gate to make her feel more comfortable, she wasn't open at first, but we offered her some fruits and were prepared to leave (because we weren't very welcomed haha), when she decided to just chat with us! HALLELUJAH! While we were chatting , she was telling us that she's already a buddhist, because her whole family is buddhist, so she wasn't that opened to christianity..and i just shared with her how my mama was a buddhist and she became a christian after my dad tried to commit suicide, and survived a few years ago. My dad is schizophrenic and suffers from a really bad skin disease, and he has tried committing suicide many times since i was born. So i shared with her the testimony of my family, which i do not usually say , because i'm just not comfortable. With this i remember how much the devil tries to lie to us and restrain us from the testimonies that God has given each of us, by lying to us that it is too embarrassing or shameful to share the bad stuff that we go through, as if God hasn't saved us from it! However, we should never hide it, the worst our situation, the more glorious God is when He overcomes! And surely, as that lady began to listen to my testimony, she was interested to know more...and she was opened to us praying for her to get a job, and for her health... Don't be ashamed of the testimony that God has given to us, and don't let the devil take it away.... Rev 12:11And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Recently i had a giant pimple on my hand! and i tot that it will go away in a while, but it slowly started swelling up and before i knew it it's SO big and huge and painful T-T.   See! quite bad hor! Anyways went to see the doc early in the morning today. Doc says that it is really a pimple, but then infection has set in so it became swollen, and because bacteria spreads very fast, it can even double its size in a while! Usually when we have pimples we wait for it to heal and dry up by itself, but she advises that we put anti-bacteria or antiseptic cream to protect it. It's best to put antiseptic, then a plaster so that the pimple absorbs the cream. So the infection got so bad now i have to take oral medication cause applying the cream is not going to work. T-T God is just so good. Pastor Elaine came over last week, and God spoke through her, touching many many hearts. I have so many good things to share! God has filled my heart with so much joy, i can't really contain it! Me and my mama are just so happy dwelling, remembering His love each day, it's amazing! updating some of the other dishes cooked in the holidays! Honey Mustard chicken (click on link) Followed reviews and doubled the sauce and it was really really heavenly T-T.  Best Steak Marinade in Existence (click on link) This is really the best we have so far! Very easy and delicious! Didn't bother blending everything together, just mixed it. We love worchestershire sauce!!!!  and lastly, chinese food! used to cook for the family when i was really young cos my mama had to work but havent cooked it for sometime!but it turned out well! Muahahaha! The key to Chinese food is always to cook the garlic/ginger/onion until they are brown and fragrant! :D i learnt from my mama to use only soya sauce and pepper for seasoning and everything always tastes so GOOD! Xiaobacai: Oil, garlic, ikan bili, vegetable, soyasauce to taste. Cook in sequence of ingredients. High heat. Ginger sliced pork with mushroom: Oil, ginger (the more the better). Fry (high heat) until ginger is golden. Add sliced Chinese mushrooms (soaked) until they harden and shrink abit, then add in pork, fry, soyasauce and darksauce to taste, add water, simmer. Mapo tofu: the easiest! It's like a fun, stabbing dish. Oil, garlic. Add in minced meat marinated with soya sauce and pepper. Add block of tofu, stab into smaller pieces and stir fry at the same time. Don't make the tofu too mushy as water has to be added later. Season with soyasauce and pepper, add water. Simmer until the dish becomes abit drier, and serve!  Labels: food |
