Thank U Jesus!
Well...since my last post on 'Where is the Love?'...i would like to testify of God's goodness in my life....there has been a desire that i have been praying together with my cg for the last few mths and it has come TRUE for me. Indeed the Power of prayer!
Yes, i may have met with a few nasty people at church, but then humans are not perfect people. If we are, we would not need God. Besides, coming from a church of close to 20,000 members, there are bound to be some bad sheep.
When I prayed about the jaded feeling i had about church, God reminded me about those who care.
1) Leonard, a brother i made from the Israel trip from my church, read my blog and knew about how broke i was, offered to bless me with the cabfare to church the next day and said i could sit with him. This was despite the fact he is still a student and not earning a salary.
2) Winnie, my gd fren from church also said she would wait for me at church for the wed conference, and said that even if i was late due to taking mrt, she would wait for me even if she had to sit with me at the overflow room. It touched my heart greatly becos she could reach church at 5plus and can actually gurantee herself a gd seat in the main hall, but she was willing to sacrifice for me.
3) My parents who may not have the youth in terms of age, had the fire of God. They may be working, but they not only bought dinner for me but rushed to church early and booked a seat for me.
4) My CGL and CG friends who encouraged me and prayed with me throughout my trials and tribulations these few mths. Many who may not be that close to me before actually asked how i had been, sent me sms-es and gave me hugs of love when they met me yesterday after not meeting them for some time.
5) My choir helper who had been encouraging me, praying for me and had been very patient with me despite me not being able to go for choir practices and sessions.
6) James - my sis's bf who sms me and msn me words of comfort and encouragement when i was down.
Indeed God is good...in times of troubles, we should turn to Him and not to others. We should always count our blessings and not focus on the unhappiness in life, becos that is only a phase of our lives!
In HIM we are more than conquerors!
Last evening i went for church service on a Friday night after not doing so for a few weeks (been going sunday services). Really felt refreshed by the praise and worship session. Pastor Phil was here and the power of God was very strong as i sat on stage with the church choir as the hall was very packed.
To save $, i took mrt with my cg members and i'm really glad to have this time of fellowship with them on the train...
Here's some crazy shots of us on the mrt:
Above is LY - the biker, me and Janice - the gal with the 干粮 joke. haha. We finally managed to make LY smile - he hates taking pics ... and we were on a train with the magnolia fresh milk ad, which speaks of why the glass of milk behind us...
That's Eileen - the great cook, Connie - my partner in chatterbox county and Gina - the soon to be birthday gal.
