through! pray also for compassion
and conviction. now in kok house.

eat somewhere near RC. anyway,
recently God showed me the area of
loving my sheeps. i realised that
people really need love. the children
now do not have much family love
then comes the church to show them
the True Love.

God, praying and reading the
Word. hey do you know how to
crush the devil? when christians
unite together in God, serving God
powerfully, that crushes the devil!!
unity in God crushes the devil. woo.

yoyo. woo. i'm just joyful about
what God is gonna do in my group!
woo. nothing can really describe
the joy. so grateful that my sheeps
are doing something about what
God had called them to do! wooo.
thank God for the changes in their
lives. XD my sheeps went to
serangoon macdonalds after
service and for the first time, they
did not go to play LAN. yep. and
also they got to know one another
even better by sharing what they
like. wow. and they also share
about how to do a survey, how
many sheeps they want by end of
april, june and this year. woooo.
and all these i didn't told them to
do. wow. encouraged by how God
had moved in my group. yep. if you
are seeing this and you are from
NEA3, let's really serve God fully
with all our heart! and do our v. v.
best to extend God's kingdom
because people really need God!!!
wooo! SHIOK LA! lols. yep. i'm sure
it's also because of yesterday
retreat hahas. XD by how God
answered the prayer for the bus.
though it's common in a way, but i
think when people really see how
God really is real, their life will
change. lol. alright man. i also
enjoyed gideon's teaching on SOW
hahas. interesting and funny XD
he had improved in his jokes haha.
but thank God for him, as i think
back about gideon, i'm v. grateful
that God had placed such a great
leader as my shepherd last year.
yep. can see his passion for people
to change to become more like
Jesus and also his love for people.
yep. was supposed to meet a
zhonghua nonb at 1pm at mac.
but he did not come. i guessed his
cca was dragged. pray that he can
come for other weeks hehee. yep.
great time in service. yea.
responded for faith. faith in
believing that great things will be
done through me by the help of
God and His grace. really want God
to use me. anyway, today coreteam
meeting was a real great one. was
at istana. we shared about the
time where we were at the lowest
point of our life and God helped us
out by His grace. and i'm not
ashamed of sharing mine. yep. i
shared. and just so grateful how
God brought me through the area
i struggled last year that stopped
growth from coming. the key is
don't be deceived by the devil. i'm
a fool to not even know that i'm
deceived. daniel shared his. and
it's really showed how much daniel
had really changed. i'm sure who-
ever listened to that you will know
how much God really had changed
him. can see his tears in his eyes
as he shared about God's grace.
" God is very forgiving. " and i
truly truly agreed with what he
said. many times i did SOOOOOO
many countless sins but yet God
still loves me. thank you God. yea.
God ROCKS man. read grace's blog.
we have to learn to love challenges.
woo. one thing i also want to apply!
instead of viewing challenges as a
struggle, i think we should view it
as ' It's time for growth ! ' wooo.
yep. hallelujah to the Lamb of God!

two last thing lol. thanks eelee
for the card and the prize and the
affirmation ! and.........
this is really where i belong! XD
woo. great and.. fun.. and indeed a
thanksgiving day XD first ever NE
family day. yep. though it's short
but still enjoyed myself. yep. the
verse John 12:24(hope i did not
memorise the wrong verse hahas.)
unless we die to ourselves, we will
produce many fruits. serving God...
not very easy >.<. hahass. but it's
worth it. God is looking for fully
committed people that is obedient
to His message... really want to be
such people, who really give their
whole life to Jesus. but it's gonna
be.. real difficult. hahas. yep. but
whatever difficulties come, it also
goes because God is there to help.
yeah. this verse, 2 Chronicles 16:9
in the encouragement card that i
received for the prize thingy.. goes
like this.
"For the eyes of the Lord range
throughout the earth to strengthen
those whose hearts are fully
committed to him."
John12:24 and 2Chronicles 16:9
seriously, i think God is speaking to
me through these two verses to
really give my life fully for Him.
giving my life fully. give comes from
a decision. your decision to give or
not to give. woo and also the word
fully. wow... a calling and reima
word from God! hold me accountable
i really wanna to make a decision to
give my life fully for God in all areas
that i know how....
okay. i lost my slippers. don't know
where it gone to hahas. but i think
it's with someone else. hope so.
oh yar.. who wants northeast photo?
it's not v. clear though.. but i went
to make it brighter but still quite
grainy. if anyone have the grain
removal program, please help me
remove it. anyway, after long fun
day, went for coreteam meet at park
way. going bowling this friday with
my cg. many of them didn't come for
family day today which is badddddd.
only syekit and jeremy came. but
still thank God jeremy came... for so
long he can't make it for cg. okay.

true. faith. what's the difference
between a faithful shepherd and a
world changer. faith makes the
difference. i really need to put my
faith and trust to God for my ministry
every area. my group, everything.
view things in God's perspective. yep
faith shall be the key to growth for
nea3!! nea goal, 35 end of march!
it will seem impossible as we are not
even on the 30 mark but we gonna
trust God for converts then retained
then become disciples for Jesus!!!!!
God gives elpizo to man :)
Thursday, March 11, 2004
sorry forget about one thing. please
call me joseph instead of my name.
lol. wanna to be remind of why i use
this name for my baptism name.
thanks!
praise the Lord for all the things He
had done in my life. i really thank
God that i've grew. as i reflected
back my years with God, i'm just so
astonished by how God helped me
through things that i don't even
think that i can overcome. there
are areas that i struggle for real
real long. but yet by God's grace
and by His help, i'm able to over-
come these areas. There's this
excitment in my heart to express
my gratefulness of how i grew by
God's grace. i've become more
sensitive to God which inturns
becomes more sensitive to people
and i've also become more
discipline in my walk with God. i'm
really glad that i'm in this meaning-
ful race that lasts forever. yesterday
while i was doing my dnt, i thought
about things that people do in the
world. one answer i got back from
all these was meaningless.
although i really enjoyed photo-
graphy but God revealed it to me
that all the things we do in the
world for ourselves, basically for
man, is meaningless. woo, how can
i contain all these privileges by my-
self. i'm gonna do something to let
people now how much i am really
enjoying! God is giving me more
fruits in my school. God also showed
me that people DO have spiritual
desire for Him through a believer
from my school who is just the age
of 14. there's also problems
happening in my group which also
showed me that God is pruning the
group. Thank God for everything.
Praise God for everything. He just
ROCKS man. hehe.
ok. anyway, didn't get to sleep for
yesterday morning. lol. o.o sooooo
tired. but not sleepy. anyway, daniel
just met me for shepherding at mac.

deviantart person taking portrait
photograph. v. nice :D haha. any-
way, thank God for yongwee! can

one who knows tell me please. thx.
2nd question goes like this,
Did you receive Jesus as your
personal Lord and Saviour?
3rd question...
If there is a point of time in your
life, that you need to lay down your
life for Christ by God's grace, are
you willing to?
not sure whether the questions are
totally correct. but roughly is like
that.
yep. i think this is also the first time
i saw so many people baptising
together. last time it's like 20+.
today was like so many that we
need to squeeze in the room. XD
anyway, went to suntec with nea &
nec dudes. lol. played Xbox tennis.

God nevers fail. :) v. grateful to God.
just few minutes ago, the coreteam
came to visit me. kinda surprised.
lol. because i saw people coming but
they did not even make a sound. so
i thought it's my father. hahas. in
the end is daniel, jeremiah and ding
chuen big thanks for all of
you. :D
i'm back. spend around few hours
to get back my internet. i'm not
going to school for two days! o.o
why? it's because i had high fever
39.2 o.o highest temperature i ever
reached to. hais. i will be missing
so much lessons. especially my dnt.
on thurs. the teacher again will think
that i am just trying to run away
from class. -bah- anyway, it's cold
in here. not because of weather or
whatever. but because of my fever.
arhhh. pray for me! i'm still not v.
confirm the reason why God allow
this. but from what i learned, was
that appreciate the people in your
life.while i was walking to the clinic
yesterday, i was just so touched by
my mum and my elder sister. how
they helped me along to clinic. not
just them. i began to reflect back
how the church really helped me. all
these truly really touched me that
began to make me tearing. so
wonderful life i have because of what
Christ had given me. seriously, only
fools will give up Christ. with Christ,
you can have lotsa of love and care
and even more. okay, i'm off to rest
for now. bye!
