Last night i get to help my mom to colored her hair. She was actually doing herself at first, then she can't reach the back part, so she asked me to help her. When she ask for help, i was actually getting ready to go out with my sister so i told her i can't help her much. Not long after that, the plan was cancelled so i get to help my mom after all. She don't really like the color, she thinks the brown is too light, she prefer dark brown but at the end she's ok with it. I have to say, sometimes, we don't see this little things that we do is something.Or we refuse to do things like that because of our own agenda that actually is not that important. This little coloring hair for my mom is perhaps something quite fun and because it's only between mom and i, it brings us closer to each other, it makes us talk more and spend more personal time with each other. Little things matters because it brings deeper relationship. Love life.
LOVE LIFE- Beautify mommy~
Author: Theresa /Shopping love!

Thank you love!
Author: Theresa /I started to say thank you to all the wonderful people that serve us no matter in restaurant or anywhere else. Especially towards the wonderful parking ticket counter people. For all this while when i say thank you, they will ignore me and never had they actually return with a "you're welcome" Recently changes happens! When i said thank you towards these people in places that i often go, they return by saying "You're welcome" with a smile on their face! woohoo! That was so nice! You know, when you choose to show kindness towards others. It's like blessing the nation with showing others your kindness, telling others that there's such a kind person still, a person with love still on this earth. The world is not that hard after all. When they return my thank you, i felt that this nation is changing after all. Felt like God is blessing this nation and this wonderful people. Bless the nation by showing an act of kindness and love towards people around you. Create a fruitful nation. Jesus replied: "Love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:Love your neighbor as yourself. -Matthew 22:37-39
Chores of LOVE!

She took her shower and have her dinner, i join her for some great dessert by her mom in law. After enjoying ourself, i help her in with some chores so that she can actually take some rest and spend some time with her kids. As simple as a chore will make a different in other’s life.

Love through MSN!
Author: Theresa /
Thank thank God for MSN and all this wonderful ways you can keep in touch with friends all around the world! A friend of mine had a date with me on MSN she said she wanted to share something with me. She was actually making a really important decision in life. So she shared with me what's her and her partner's struggles, and i get to share with her some stuff that i think will help both of them. So of my testimony and experience. The most important, show them my support.
I have to say, i'm truly blessed the fact that she tells me all that and that she even called me up the next day to tell me how God have answered her prayer. God You're AWESOME! Amazing. Love. I get an opportunity to pray for her and her partner, she cried out to God while i prayed. Seriously, i'm humbled.
Someone today might need your love and encouragement or even just an ear to listen. Chat =]
Shopping Cart Care!
Author: Theresa /Last night i went to Servay with my mom and nephew Daniel. Like most of the hypermarket, you need to insert a coin in order to get a cart. Just when i’m done with looking for a cart that fits in my coin, comes a lady with her lil girl on hand and also an older women. I overheard their conversation as if they’re looking for something and can’t get the right cart. I continue walk in to Servay, while i walk i was thinking what actually are they looking for. Then, it comes to me that lady was actually looking for a cart with a baby seat (98% of the cart here don’t actually comes with this baby sitting place, i have no idea why). Well, i was one of the special one that get a cart with this baby seat. So i was thinking to change mine with hers. Then my mom wanted to go up to the first floor, i stayed back and waited for that lady to come in. I was asking God to help me recognize this lady. Then, she came in, I knew it was her because of the lil girl actually. She was having this stressful look on her face. I was actually thinking of stepping back because of her stressful look, but i end up going forward! Dang! that was something really by faith! I went up to her and offer her my cart, I think she thinks that i’m a salesman or something, she have this anger look on her face and ask “why!” (with an anger tone that is and in Malay) So i went on explain to her that i wanted to offer her my cart because there’s a baby seat on my cart, and so that she can have her lil girl sit down comfortably. Then, comes a smile on her face and said “oh, it’s okey”. Then i went off with a tap on her shoulder with a smile on my face. That was something i would never do. Even tho she rejected, but you know what? I felt so release when she smile. I have to say, the most precious thing that night was seeing her stressful face turns to a smile. Maybe, she went off thinking that i’m weird or crazy, but at least there’s someone that she do not even know that cares for her. Honestly, this is my first time of having to experience this. I’m thankful to be use to show some love and care. I do pray that the Lord will have His will be done upon this lady and her family. I pray that God will show more of His love towards this lady. God really do love her real much, i felt that. You might get rejected while you show an act of kindness and love towards someone, do not worry, trust God because He will do the rest. So, offer someone your shopping cart today? Bring a smile to someone today. Have a blessed day people. =] Nope, thats not the lil girl. =]
Love through prayers
Author: Theresa /Yesterday after Praise Kids, i was suppose to rush home and get some work done, i ended up staying for about an hour!
I felt that i need to pray for some people individually so i end up praying for the worship team members individually. Got to check out how are they doing and hear from them their ups and down is just so wonderful, top up with a prayer is just the best time i’ve ever had. I felt the love between myself and every single one of them personally. It’s just so fun to get one step closer with the people that i always work with, to be able to know them even more. After praying for all of them, my buddy, Selwyn offered to pray for me. He said “i felt that God wants me to pray for you.” I was like, thats great!! I really did not expect that anyone of them will in return pray for me. I didn’t expect for a return. It turns out, that prayer was just what i needed at this moment of life. Thanks Selwyn! =]
After praying for the team, i get to chat with the maid who work for the church, kakak Martina. Turns out that today is her last day of working in our church. She shared with me how is she doing, her son, and some of her struggles. She shared how have God helped her and how her son help her in her spiritual grow, she praise the Lord. I thank her for her service for all this while, how she have been so wonderful to us, helping us so much, sometimes i think she’s doing more than what she’s suppose to because she love us. Sweet! =] I had the privilege to pray for her! in Malay! It was not easy as i had only prayed in Malay for twice in my life? and yesterday was praying for some deep stuff! I was using the most simple words, the best that i can, the most simple of all and the rest i was just letting the Holy Spirit to do His thing. When i open my eyes after praying, i saw tears in her eyes. I really didn’t expect that, the Holy Spirit was moving so strong, it’s all Him, not i. Thank You Lord.
Offer to pray for someone today, it will bring so much love to others and yourself too.
1Timothy 2:1
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.

love delivery!
Author: Theresa /On Thursday night I wrote some feedback and something that I think will encourage my youth leader who just started to join us about a month ago. I really felt that he needs people to support him so I wrote down what I receive 2 weeks back and some encouragement to him. After writing and have my friend print it out for me, we sent it to his house. On top of that, I brought a strawberry ‘Rocky’ for her cute little daughter. He was surprise to see us, all I hope is that that simple letter will bring him encouragement. All of us need encouragement now and then, our lead too. Show some love towards your leaders to encourage them. =] And here’s the cute girl! =] Photograph courtesy of Apple Huang
Love Life through instant oat!
Author: Theresa /Today I went to buy some Instant Organic Oats for my neighbor, a 79 year old uncle and his wife, 82. He was actually feeling bad because a young girl would spend her money on them. But he was really thankful. After receiving, he started to share about how he was struggling to help his wife around. Auntie started to have problem with walking and her eyes can’t really see since 4 years ago, things have never been better since then. Just 2nights ago, uncle have to bring her to emergency because she wasn’t feeling well. That is why uncle need extra strength at this hour to take care of his wife. After sharing of his struggles, i offer to pray for him and he said yes! So i hold his hand and prayed. It was such a moment. Never had i actually do that before and there i was holding his hand and pray. God is good. After praying he continue to share how he knows all this is God’s plan and how he can only do his best for his wife and everything around the house. I am truly touch. Even tho things is not looking good, he struggled, yet he never complain but thank God and trusting that God is always good. He never blame anyone of blame God, he understand that in the very beginning, God created us all equally, no more, no less, “this is life” he said, “all we need to do is live life” he continue. I am truly blessed by his sharing, what he is doing for his wife and also doing everything else. How he is so strong and holding on to God. He was truly blessed by the kindness that i show towards both of them. Honestly, i’m the blessed one. Uncle is such a wise man, everything he said can really makes me think and strengthen my faith. Such a blessed moment. May His will be done. Bless your neighbor with some kindness, who knows, you’re the blessed one. =] Deuteronomy 16:17 Love, T
Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.
More than expected
Author: Theresa /t’s amazing how God use you when you’re open for Him to use you for His great plan. Reach out. So often we’re being told to reach out, the Great Commission says that we are to GO and MAKE disciples, BAPTIZING them in the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and TEACHING them everything I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19-20) And He promise that He will always be with us till the very end of age (Vr.20). Last cell group, thats exactly what we learn. I remember telling God that i am ready for Him to do His thing through me to the fullness. After saying that, the rest is to expect from God and be ready. God is just so awesome. Even with expectation i place on Him, what He did is always, always beyond my expectation. That’s so Him. Last week, i was asking God to show me if there’s anything i can do more then what i’m doing now. As always, patience is always good. He wants to test my patience. Next thing i know, it’s ‘on the move’ time! Last Friday night, i get to hang out with my sister and 3 of her friends. We went to KBOX, then went for a drink. This is my first time ever to hang out with my sister’s friend and get to hang out with them is just such fun. I get to know them more and i get to go one step closer to my sister too. It might just be going for fun, but for me, there’s more than that. Being able to be part of their life, the honor is mine. Saturday night, I was suppose to go for Eklektos but my mom told me that we’re having family dinner at my gramma’s place, my heart was so much in EC but i will just obey and go for my family dinner. Well, again, beyond my expectation. My aunt bring along her guitar and some great worship songs, we worship the Lord before we went home, if you do not know, not all of my family members is Christian. I sense the presence of the Holy Spirit so strong at that place, I was so much in peace as we praise and worship the Lord, even better, one of my sis’s friend that i hang out on Friday night came over just at the right time. The Lord is IN THE MOVE! Sunday, I spent almost the whole day with my sister, preparing a surprise party for our mom with our cousins.Felt so great to be part of the action in preparing and capable in playing a part in providing financially.Dinner went great, great and great! full of love and joy surround the restaurant which the owner is also our cousin. After dinner, went to my sis’s place and help her prepare some extraordinary taste chocolate for her friend’s wedding today. The chocolate making ends 1am. Exhausted but truly blessed. I have to admit that i was quite exhausted, but at the same time i am the most blessed person on earth! for God truly have use me to the fullness! Truly blessed. Never have i expected that i will be able to get involve in the life of these friends of my sister, and now, we’re friends too. They’re so open and very very wonderful people, i am really looking forward to hang out with them again, as long as no alcohol is involve=]. Getting one step closer to my cousins is again another blessing to me. I always tot that i will never get to hang out with my sister, her friend and also my cousins like that, because of the age gap, but God, He is just so amazing, He is the reason for all this is happening, He is just simply awesome! You know, all i did was just to enjoy my life, enjoy people around me, enjoy being love and to love. Enjoy His wonderful presence, and, God just use all that to reach out. For me, this is a chapter of reaching out towards others. =] Is not that hard after all.This is just the beginning and may God do the rest. Not I. Thank You Lord. God i ask that You use us to the fullness, may Your Kingdom come and Your Will be done. Amen. Blessings and love, T
Malaysian church fire-bombed ahead of muslim protests
Author: Theresa /KUALA LUMPUR — A church in Malaysia has been fire-bombed in an attack that gutted its ground floor, church officials said Friday, escalating a dispute over the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims.
A fire department official said all stations were on alert for more blazes at religious buildings, ahead of planned nationwide protests Friday by Muslim groups angry over the use of the word as a translation for "God" by Christians.
The three-storey Metro Tabernacle church in suburban Kuala Lumpur, part of the Assemblies of God movement, was set ablaze in the attack which took place around midnight, said church leader Peter Yeow, 62.
"Witnesses saw four people smash the glass and throw incendiaries into the church building. They came on two motorcycles," he told AFP at the scene as fire department forensic officers picked through the wreckage.
There were no casualties in the attack on the church, which occupies the corner lot of a row of shop houses and which Yeow said draws some 1,500 people weekly.
"The fire destroyed the administrative part of the church. We do not know if the prayer hall on the third floor suffered any damage," he said, warning all other churches to "double their guard" against any attacks.
Anuar Harun, who headed the fire department operation, said that forensic experts were working with the police and a canine unit to probe the blaze.
"We are investigating the cause of fire. We cannot provide any more details. It is a sensitive issue," he said when asked if it was a case of arson.
"We have asked all our fire stations to be on alert for such fires on religious premises," he told AFP.
The High Court last week ruled in favour of the Catholic "Herald" newspaper which has used "Allah" as a translation for "God" in its Malay-language section. The government has said the word should be used only by Muslims.
The ruling was suspended on Wednesday pending an appeal, after the government argued the decision could cause racial conflict in multicultural Malaysia, where Muslim Malays make up 60 percent of the population.
The security guard at the Metro Tabernacle church, 65-year-old V. Mariappan, said he had just walked away from the main entrance of the building to use the bathroom when the building erupted in flames.
"When I came back, there was a huge fire inside the church building. There was a few loud explosions like bombs exploding," he said, adding he saw two motorcycle helmets lying on the road in flames.
The Herald's editor Father Lawrence Andrew has warned of a campaign of intimidation including hacker attacks against the weekly's website, protest plans and widespread criticism in the media over last week's ruling.
"We believe these actions (are designed) to create a climate of fear and a perceived threat to national security so as to pressure the court in reversing its decision," he said this week.
Religion and language are sensitive issues in multiracial Malaysia, which experienced deadly race riots in 1969.
The row over the use of "Allah" is among a string of religious disputes that have erupted in recent years, straining relations between Malays and minority ethnic Chinese and Indians who fear the country is being "Islamised."
Malaysia's population includes indigenous tribes as well as the large ethnic Chinese and Indian communities -- practising Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism, among others.
More than half of Malaysia's Catholics are from indigenous groups, most of whom live on the Borneo island states and who mainly speak Malay.
I urge you to pray. We need to pray. No one knows what will come next and it is not for us to judge. At this moment i am reminded that we shall pray for each other, the Christians in Malaysia that we will not go against them but persevere. Let's wait upon the Lord.
Romans 12:21- Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
May God show us His way at this very moment, give us wisdom Lord.
We should always remember The Greatest Commandment.
Matthew 22: 37-39
Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
Let's not forget God's commandment on us. Let's pray.
Memories that change life
Author: Theresa / Labels: carolingLast night we had a family dinner at gramma's place, i went early to help out. I sat on the dining table to prepare the food together with my dad and my aunt, with my gramma sitting at her chair. My gramma starts talking about the Eklektos went to her house for caroling. She was quite specific, she starts to ask me who is this who is that, she remembers what color of shirt they wore, and their pretty little head. I was surprise to know that she remembers all that and she keep on talking about it. At that point i knew it she really enjoy having them over and she is truly blessed. At that time all her mind is thinking about that day, i know she really enjoy having so many young people in her house, she felt so warm and perhaps treasured.
I love my gramma. She gave everything that she is to her children and everyone. She use to always cook amazing food, always bless us, always. Now she just can't do that much anymore. When she tried to help, she will get scolded. Some people just pay no respond at all towards her. They thinks she's a burden. Worst when these people are family members and close ones. Hmm. That is why i think she enjoy so much to have the Eklektos around for caroling and there's so many of you that go and talk to her, shake her hand.
I just wanna say a huge thank you to Eklektos for making all this caroling visitation possible. What you guys did was truly a blessing and it brings memories that change life. Please do continue doing this because you never know, you might save someone's life. Your prayers in different language is such powerful. Hakka is a language where everyone in my family can understand and you have people who knows how to pray in Hakka=] Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Thank you Eklektos. I'm gonna take one of your group photo and give it to my gramma, i hope that's ok with you guys. May God continue to use you guys as a blessing towards people all around this world in different ways. Merry Christmas.
Blessings.
More Like Jesus
Author: Theresa /So we are to be more like Jesus ya? but what actually are we suppose to be? I know we all heard this, we are to be more like Jesus. But what more like Jesus??
Let's see, He preach and He teach, He seek for his disciples and disciple them , heals the sick raise the death,give to the needy, oh and He pray, He fast, casting out demons, He heals the blind, He did all this miracles like walking on the water and all this and last He sacrifices Himself for our sins.
John 14: 12 - I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing.He will do even greater things than these,
Yes this is Jesus Himself who said this, anyone who has faith in Him will do what He have been doing! and even greater things some more! So we're suppose to do the things that He have been doing and even greater stuff? We should share the good news, disciple,give, PRAY, and fasting. Heal the sick, raise the death, casting out demons and all this miracles! and look! Jesus said we will do even greater things! WOW.. I wonder.
You know, the basic is to share the gospel. That's what Jesus did at the first place. Correct me it i'm wrong. And let's not forget teach. He teach alot don't He? The Great Commission- Matthew 28:19 Therefore GO and MAKE DISCIPLES of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and TEACHING them to obey everything I have commanded you.
I think Jesus means what He said. As we are the children of God we are made to be able to do all this, of cause only by Him through us. In Jesus Name there is authority. Jesus said this,"All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me. (Matthew 28:18) "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (John 14:13-14)
Do all these things in Jesus Name and it shall be done. But do not take advantage and use it wrongly, for this name is so powerful that no one can assure what will happen what you mis-use this name. That's what i think.
All glory and honor belongs to Him. No pride. You are doing a great job for God, that is because God choose you and you obey. All wisdom comes from Him alone. When Jesus asked the disciples who people said He was. Then He asked them who they thought He was. Peter answered correctly, "You are the Christ." Then Jesus made a very significant statement to Peter,"This was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven."
I guess that's basically what you're suppose to be doing on earth?
God forgive me for my selfishness. Make me more like Jesus. Amen
Blessings,

Because He is a God who remembers
Author: Theresa /Few months back, I have some trouble playing my guitar. A 12strings classic guitar with a wider gap between the frets and the wider neck it has, i suffer from terrible pain on the bone and also the muscle that connects the thumb to palm on my left hand(forgive me if I describe this wrongly, i'm not good in all this what name of the bones and muscle that connects to where), so every time if i've playing a harder chords or on that guitar for a longer time it will gives me all this pain. This pain is actually cause of an injury 2years back when i was having all this practice for my bowling competition, unknowingly i was actually injured and i didn't seek for any medical advice immediately. That cause me to have this pain not only when i play this guitar of mine but sometime when i use my hand too much to draw, which is like my assignments. So from time to time i will have to bandage my hand, the worst case was there was a time it's so much pain that i can't even use my hand to draw anymore. Yes.
So i was asking God for healing that time and some time after that i was asking God if it's possible for me to get a guitar. I don't see the possibility at that time so I just pray that God will take away all my pain when i play my guitar, and indeed God took away all the pain. Praise the Lord. THANK YOU GOD!! There was once i ask God again if i can have a guitar that i can just enjoy with( i actually told my parents that i think i wanted to buy a guitar when i am able to, they agreed and supported me to get one when i starts to work, cool)
I can't stand playing 12strings anymore because it's hurting so i put on 6strings only. At the process of changing and tuning this 6strings, God actually showed me that i've got the best just right in front of me! This guitar that I'm having is actually a Yamaha, bigger body part, the melody that created by this guitar is beautiful when it's 12string it create amazing tune, melody or whatever you call that. I was so amazed by God! I mean, He was like, "hey! the best is here!" When i look at my guitar and i agree, yes this is definitely the best among the best. So after that I've never asked for a guitar anymore but of cause my hand still hurts sometimes, but it doesn't matter because God have given the best, i really appreciate all that. Last month i think, Joy was asking me if i wanted to buy a guitar because she is selling hers, i would love to but i can't afford so i told her i can't and i will help her to look around for buyers. Her guitar was the music to our prayer meetings all this while in college. THANKS JOY!=]
Yesterday, i went to pick up Joy to go to church together, on her way to my car with her was her guitar case. So i was wondering why is she bringing her guitar along. I was thinking is she giving me that? is she crazy!? haha. When she open the door she said "i'm giving you my guitar, do you want it?" I was like YES! the best part is she even give me the guitar case! now how cool is that! I thank her and really, words just can't express how thankful i am and how blessed i am. gosh.. thanks JOY!! Right after that i thank God, all this while i was just thanking God for the guitar at the same time i wonder why this guitar? I totally forgotten about asking Him for one.
Awhile ago i was reading Joy's blog, she was talking about why she decided to give me this guitar instead of selling it and giving me even the guitar case that she treasure so much and how she got it at the first place. It was God all this while! She was prompt to give this guitar and the case to me and it's confirmation after confirmation that leads her to do this. I was amazed! I ask God, "God, what do you want me to do with this guitar? why give it to me?" and He reminded me is because i asked for one. HE REMEMBER!
Even tho it has been quite awhile since i asked for a guitar and after awhile i didn't actually ask for it anymore, but He, remember what i asked for before and satisfy this desire of mine in His own timing and He always gives better and more than what i asked for. AWESOME GOD!! THANK YOU GOD!!
Again, words can't express how thankful I am. A special shout out to Joy. This is what God is doing in both of us!! gosh!! thank you Joy! it's because you obey=]
Peeps, i do not know what is the desires or the dreams that you had, have or will. One thing i know that is He remembers, He gives the best to you, sometimes just not what you asked for but it's the best for you. Trust Him, because He is a God who remembers.
Blessings,

Look around
Author: Theresa /Look at yourself. Look at things around you. Still not enough? Complain?
I think if you’re reading this, you’re blessed. But, what about them?
Just awhile ago when I was in the superstore, the counter beside where I was, there was a young married couple. They were just going to pay for what they’ve brought. Husband walk towards the counter with a pack of cookie hoping to buy one. Wife hold up the money on her hand which is only RM20, just enough for what they need for a period of time, immediately her husband put back that pack of cookie and go back to his wife with a sad yet it’s ok face on him. After having the cashier counting all the item, she realize there is enough to get one pack of the cookie, she turn to the husband and tell him to get one, husband replied, “it’s ok.” As she moved forward, I realize, she is pregnant. I looked at the husband’s hand, realize that’s not a car key. I wonder. I look around her again I realize there’s a boy beside them (which I’m not sure if it’s the brother or their son) with a motorcycle helmet on his hand. When they walk out from the superstore, husband put his hand on her back and support her. I prayed.
This couple, with not much that they have, can’t even afford an extra pack of biscuit and expecting a baby to come. Ride a motorcycle with a boy and a woman which is also pregnant. This man, yes he felt sad but he understand and he choose to support the family and wife with that extra money instead of using it for his desire for that pack of cookie. He choose to.
I do not know about you, but I, I do complain now and then. This scene just reminded me of how silly I am to complain when I am so blessed. How selfish am I when all I think about is me. I was thinking. What about these people? Where does hope comes from? I have hope in God, great family, great surrounding, but, how about them? God reminds me once again to think about others and be thankful. Please, don’t think “ What did happen?” The question is “ What will happen!?” Who are you to judge? You have no right. There’s nothing that I can do to help them, but just pray. I believe prayer is powerful.
I want to be a blessing to others no matter where I am. I am already really blessed. There’s more than enough. I choose to be a blessing towards people around me not matter I know them well or not. No matter we have met before or just met. It’s not about me at all.
How about you? Maybe it’s time to look around. Be thankful.
GO!
Author: Theresa /Asia. God is wiping out in Asia. Natural disaster here and there all around Asia. There was just this strong wind that wipe KK just awhile ago, non stop rain pouring down. I believe this is only apart of what is going on in Philippine. This is the time my friend, pray, pray and pray.
Once again I'm reminded of the Great Commission.
Matthew 28: 19, 20.
Therefor GO and MAKE DISCIPLES of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and TEACHING them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
This is whats going on in Asia.
People, you do not want more evidents to show you that this is the time.
I knew this is gonna be long, but I just wanna share it all out!! =]
Am thinking bout last PK we had when i was leading worship. It was pretty amazing! the best part was that i didn't even realize how amazing it was until the end of it when Elder Annie comes forward took over the worship and show us a thumbs up! Right after that i was thinking, "What just happened?" Amazed.
I think the kids was really enjoying themselves praising and worshiping God. Enjoying His presences. I am still looking for responds and feedbacks from others just to make sure and confirm what was God doing. A or 2 before that day, i was asking for revival to be happening in PK. The children and also ourself individually. I now believe strongly that the children can do greater things then just come and sit and listen and learn just like that. After seeing the video that shared by Ps. Joshua, i know that God can use children to pray for the nation, to bring souls unto His Kingdom, to spread His good news, to have that understanding, maturity and anointing that we seen God pouring out towards the adults and young people. It is time to let God and trust and believe in Him.
I am not sure what is God preparing us for last Saturday. I felt strongly that needed to pray for His protections upon all of us and letting the worship team to pray for themselves and their instruments before we starts the practice. At the same time i saw the adults was praying powerfully, i can felt that power of the Holy Spirit even on that stage without knowing what were they praying for. My heart was really to see and expect from God. I was really really excited since monday to lead worship and also to meet up with the Doulos team. This is the first time(well at least in what i remember) that the worship team is so complete, i mean everyone was there. Perhaps God wants to speaks to everyone of them.=]
Until today, i still am not really sure what did God do on that day. Towards the kids, the team members and the Doulos team. Whatever happens on that stage, i really am not sure what actually happened on that stage!! BUT it was GOD, it was GOD. No one shall takes credits, to HIM the praises belongs.
My prayer is that God will rise up these children, God will speak to them in His own way. No more 'BUT's, trust God 100%. I pray that there kids will experience the Holy Spirit and leaders of the nations begins here. I lay down my life to see this revival happens. I die to myself to obey Him. I am not only saying this, this is a challenge for me and i will do my best. For His Glory, i will stand strong. How bout you? God=] You're awesome!
One very important fact i learn. Only when we come in unity, things happens, great things happens. God pour down His special made anointing and gift towards us individually. It is when these different kind of gifting and anointing comes together, BOOM! greater things happens. WOW!!!! i think now i know why the whole worship team was there!! As a worship leader, I think my focus of that day was alot on the worship team, so ya..=]
God is doing something great in Praise Kids as a team and also every individual. God even bring His blessing from 3 different country by the Doulos team! how cool!!
This is what the Bible said about Unity.
Ephesians 4: 1-16.
The important of Unity.
Verse 11: It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
12: to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
13: Until we all reach unity in the faith and in knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
The power of Unity.
Verse 14: Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves,g and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
15: Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
16: From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, AS EACH PART DOES ITS WORK.
Special thanks to the PK WORSHIP TEAM!!! You guys are awesome!!! To PK TEAM MEMBERS!!! thanks for the supports and prayers!!! To DOULOS TEAM!! it is definitely a pleasure to have you guys around. I'm amazed by how they teach in simple ways.
Lets stay United, glue together!
Blessing=]
Well, recently been quite stressful. I'm currently doing my final project and at the same time doing some freelance since around July. I guess you can see how stressful it is har? Well, this stress brings something good after all=]
This is the most stressful for me, no idea+ rush = Sitting There Realizing Everything Still, SAME! (STRESS). Lets share.
I was trying and doing my best to rush some works for my boss and at the same time searching for ideas and inspirations for my final. You know, ideas doesn't comes overnight, well at least not for me. For 2days, I've searching and searching for concept for this final project of mine, something that I've never did before. I was also preparing myself to meet up with some clients for my freelances. Sometime I just do not know where to start. The whole week I was so so stress, so stress that I do not know what to do anymore, I just wanna sleep and get my brain some rest. Till one night, I break down, I told God what am I going tru, it's not like He do not know and I'm not actually complaining, I was just telling Him. I told Him everything and how stressful I am. Wow after that conversation, I felt so release and refresh! I woke up the next day with full of hope and strength.
Things sounds good aint? Well not all that. I was preparing some drawings to present to my client that afternoon, suddenly, my boss called. He told me that in less than 15min he's gonna need to meet up with that client! I was so shock! Well it was my fault because I get the time wrongly. He was so mad that he scolded me and I was trying to find a way, I told him that I will meet up with him at our client's place and I promise him that without thinking how am I going to be there since I don't have a car!! Just after I told him that, my dad came home! I was like..THANK YOU LORD!! I knew it was God.
Met up with my boss and he doesn't look that mad after all. I apologize and we prepare our way to meet client. I felt release when I saw him. With not much expectation of what will happen next, I started to present my ideas to the clients, there was 2 of them. One older man and a young lady. After presenting, one of the owner said " this is nothing special, I also can design lar" I was like...okey~ we'll see what you have to say. I was not mad but I think it was alil funny so I smile and starts to listen to what he wanna say. He starts to share bout what he saw in China and this and that. The more he shared the more out of concept he is. I look at the young lady and look at my boss, I smile.
I admit that my design is not that beyond expectations, I have limited knowledge about all this at this age also my friend. But I wasn't feeling that bad when people tell me that. When he said that I was actually excited to wanting to hear what he's gonna say, what's his idea. So I listen and found out I still think my design is better in someways, not every ways but someways. I still love my design better. Haha=] The other owner too share her ideas and we spend the rest of the time thinking bout the ideas. I do not talk much when I know I shouldn't waste my time=] I was exhausted that day only because of that few hours.
You see, things doesn't goes good all the way. Challenge are always ahead. When I told God about all this stress, indeed He really refresh me but it doesn't mean that I will not have any challenge the next day. It is because I was refresh that is why I can still face the stress of shocking boss calling and meeting client in less than 15min times to get ready. Not to mentions the "this is nothing special, I also can design lar". Seriously, if it wasn't God that is in control, I think I have already explode on the spot!
I wanna give a big fat thank you to God for having things in His own hand in this times of stress. When you stress, it actually leads you to something amazing. In my case, it leads me to joy and peace while dealing with the clients, overcoming my stress in this. The best part is overcoming=] Thank you Lord. Another thanks is to the client. Thanks to him that now I know how to deal with clients in a different ways. Thanks to his one sentences that give me a goal that I wanted to reach now=] Please do not get me wrong, I really learn from all this in the good way.
Stress comes once awhile, but for me I know that it will leads me to something good, something that I can learn from. I will be thankful for the stress that I had. Overcoming it is the best=]
I pray that your stress = something good too=]
Blessing.

Asking for Your love
You are the only one, I can ever have
Your love will never go away

And you said “My Child”
I hold You tight and give You all of my heart
Letting myself to love You more

Just one hug I need
One that change my life ever more
One that take away the rest
One hug
Just one hug I ask
The warmth and comfort like never
The love that you put together
