Youth work is really not easy, because every youth is different. It is always my prayer to ask the Lord to give me wisdom and strength to help them and to be with them through their teenage life. Of course there were times that I got discouraged because there is only that much I can do to help and some times thing just don't turn out the way I expected. I just have to trust the Lord that He is still in control. But there were many times that I was very encouraged by their growth, testifying the efforts they put in to change because they want love God.And these are the rewards the Lord gave to me in this work I am doing. I realize for myself too that I am getting old, loosing the energy to run and to have fun with the young ones, trying very hard to stay at their "level" is taking alot out of me these days. But i thank the Lord that he still keeps me and me agrants me all that I need. Please pray for me that I can keep going till the day I can't anymore, and that I will continue to trust the Lord and to stay humble in my submission to him as my Lord all the time. As for now, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going because I have the Lord. Amen!

She is gone..........YEAH!!!!! No la, we will miss her, but don't cry, she will be back soon. SO let's pray for her that the Lord will keep her and grant her strength to live and witness for him wherever she is.

Today is the begining of the LENT season, one month before the death of Jesus, we set this month aside to journey with Christ. It prepares me for good friday and easter sunday. It was a good journey for me last year, I really learnt alot throught the preparation for the death and the ressuraction of Christ, and the Lord had thought me many thing about myself.

This year, to begin, He has already thought me about me heart. Today's message is from matthew 6. In matthew 6, there are a few statments keep repeating themselves.

1. They will recieve their reward in full. Talking about those who pray, fast and do things to impress people or to please people so that they can be viewed as good and "rightous" by man. Their will recieve their rewards in full. 2. But those who pray, fast and do things in secret, they will be rewarded by the father. The Lord brought upon my heart about how manytimes we do thing to impress people or to prove that we are capable, indeed, we will recieve our reward in full when we put in our efforts to do so. And sometimes that is what we wanted, even when we are serving God.

2. The father will reward you when he see that is done in secret. I ask myself, when I am faithfully serving God, doing good deeds, being obedience to God's word, do I look forward to recieve reward FROM the father? do I seek to please him? God brought this though to my heart and I went down my knees and ask him to forgive me and grant me strength to be able to keep seeking him and his reward in all that I do. That's why at the end of the passage it says: where your treasure is, there your heart will be. I told the Lord that i want to make my treasure His approval and His reward, not in man's praise or self achievements. And this is just the begining for me. The speaker at the end ask, do you need a heart tranplant? I need a heart transplant from one that is beating for self to one that is beating for God.

Some of us went bowling on the 3rd day of CNY! It was fun. a few of us are really pro man! make a guess? Judging by the pictures, you may get some hints. Hope to get more people the next time round. It is really fun and good work out after all the CNY goodies and "ba Gua"!!!! Hahaha.

Hey this Andreas' Rugby team! They are quite power la. But rugby is a very XIong spot! someone actually was thrown into the drain. didn't get to see andreas play, but according to dazz, he played well! It's amazing to know that he so small size can play rugby? Anyway, today there is another match against greenridge. I am going to give my support to him!

Yesterday Sarah thought us a new song! It is a very meaningful song. I can't help but to search my own heart, to see if my heart is beating for him alone? Or is my heart chasing after other things in my life? so this is the song. I pray that it will minister to you as well.


In this quiet place with you
I bow before your throne
I bear the deepest part of me
To u and u alone
I keep no secrets for
there is no fault you have not known
I bring my best and all the rest
To you and lay them down

With all my heart
I want to love You, Lord,
And live my life
Each day to know You more.
All that is in me
Is Yours completely;
I'll serve You only,
With all my heart.

You faithfully supply my needs
According to your plan
Help me lord to seek you face
Before I seek you hand
I trust you know what’s best for me
When I don’t understand
Then follow in obedience
In every single step

Someone asked me in the beginning of this year, “why you so happy?” I said, “because I have God!” He replied, “what a good way to start a New Year.” I said, “it ‘s not a way (methods) but rather it’s from my heart, I really mean it.”

I really want to thank the Lord for his faithful guidance to me in 2006. As I read through my pass reflection letters, I remembered that I asked the Lord to grant me greater love for him. Indeed he has allowed this relationship to deepen through the events in my life in 2006. I am glad to say that even in the beginning of this year when it did not begin well for me as I have to struggle with my feelings, even then, His word and His Spirit was with me throughout. And I can confidently say that I have gained much in my relationship with him since. Matthew 28:20 – “…I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

My personal vision for 2007 is to continue to be faithful with all that the Lord has entrusted to me, to depend on him in prayer and learn to trust him more. This year will be a year for me to develop the leaders, to help and to pray for them as they lead SNP to greater heights. And I also hope to get myself more involved with the mission work in Thailand with Rosanna. Pray with me that if God is willing, I really want to do more mission work in the years to come. But first, I want to get myself equipped with the language. I am looking out for courses. Pray with me.

I would like to share also my thoughts with you when I was teaching Sunday school on Romans 1:18-32, I discovered that God’s wrath is when God gave them (mankind) over to what their evil hearts desire. I was terrified when I realized this! That means God doesn’t care anymore! Imagine, if God is out of my life? His grace and mercy is not extended to me? What will I be? Where will I be? I will be rotten and dirty, evil, sad, depress, angry, bitter, like what Romans 1:31 - senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless, and I will be at a place full of such people! It really scares me. But it gives me new understanding to what His love brings, and that is His mercy to me when he did not give me over to what my evil heart desires, but patiently taught me, and watched over me, as I grow to love him more and live righteously before him and man. Thanks be to God!

On this note, I would like to change my opening statement, this year begins just the way God wanted it for me, to start with a heart of appreciation for his love and mercy and to desire after his righteousness in all that I do through Romans 1:18-32. I sincerely give my praise and thanksgiving to He who accepted me into His everlasting loving arms.
