yest i was listening to pst kong's msg, heart of worship. this morning i was praying.
when i was in the toilet bathing, running my head under the water, God asked me.
do u noe what is it that makes Pst Kong so successful as a pst? do u noe y he is there tdy he is?
den God told me.
ting cos he is broken n dependent. as "big" as he is as a senior pastor, ting he knows everything he has come from Me. he knows that he cannot live without me.
then God said.
ting he loves Me more than his church, his ministry, his wife, his family.
ting what abt u?
jus now i was jus looking thru the bs i m supposed to give. it talks abt the jerusalem church.
there was once upon a time that i was so amazed by what was going on in acts.
yes we r doing great things.
but there is so much more.
God i yearn to know u more. to long for u more than anything else in this world. to say
whom have i in heaven but u. there is none i desire besides you.
and i was looking at somebody's blog. and God. i wish
all my members will live a godly life. they will be spiritual, they will hunger after you. they only wan u in their life.
they will be pure, they will be holy. they will not lead a double life. they will not curse and swear, they will not lie, they will not make sin a lifestyle. they will be a light that shines in church, and even more in their schools.
God i wish they will be teachable. they will be willing to be discipled. God i wish they will want to progress with you, they will want to move on in you.
God i pray they will not be self-centred. God i pray all that they think abt will not just be themselves and themselves and themselves. God i pray that they will love you more than they love themselves.
God i pray they will love you and they will love people. they will have a passion for people jus like Jesus has. they will reach out. they will make evangelism a lifestyle.
God i pray they nv will think they r the centre of the universe.
God i pray they will LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR YOU.
God i pray they will know how to honour their leaders, pastors and they will run with the vision of the church, every single day.
God i pray they will love the word of God. they will not be bored in messages, they will not fool around in church, they will treat the word of God seriously, take them notes and receive the word of God.
God i pray they will be faithful and fruitful. they will not be stubborn n refuse to change.
God i pray they will be kingdom-minded. they will not be distracted by the things of this world, by BGR, by playing computer games, by fun, but their eyes will be set upon you.
God i pray above all else, they will love You. with all of their heart, all of their soul, and all of their mind. I pray they will love You more than anything else in this world. they will desire you. God they will not wan anything else. God they will hunger and thirst for your presence.
God i pray. change us. all of us. bring us back to that first love. take us into the book of acts i pray i pray i pray.
God open all of our eyes. that we will not be blinded. but God we will look inside and say yes i need to change. and we will look outside and say yes the world needs us.

many times i will come to a place, in which that i feel that a lot of discussion is pointless. that is sth i dislike sometimes in sch. i understand that discussion is necessary. but i hate going on n on about the same topic yet all that we do is talk! what is the point of discussing a problem yet not doing sth about it.. hoping that by raising the problem, the government will be aware, somebody will be aware and do sth abt it? that is the job of an intellectual isn't it? to raise problems.
xq once told me oprah winfrey is a nice show. n i cant agree more. know what? i love pple like that more than the voices in the society. chan eng once told me that the pple knew that the US gov din do a good job in Katrina, and many protested. that is a good thing, becos u keep the government in check. but u noe what i like better? i like people like oprah winfrey. that she raises money, asked the pple to give, and she rebuilt the homes of the pple who lost their homes in Katrina. i appreciate pple who dun jus talk the talk, but walk the walk. that she will not talk about what is happening.. but she actually goes there and acts it out.
there r many voices in the society, really. everybody has a view abt everything, from the students to the taxi drivers to the working pple to the auntys and uncles at the market. but how many in the society really go out there and try to change our world? i jus wish, instead of doing a lot of talking, we will go out there, working within our constraints, and change our world.
yes make a difference.
walk the walk, not jus talk the talk.

intelligence
when i was younger, i din think much of myself. many relatives will praise me for being a good girl, and for being a good student. but i will jus smile. i m someone who always expects a lot from myself, and i m very hard on myself. perhaps cos my mum was very hard on me.
when i got my psle results, everybody was pretty amazed. but i thot i could do better.
when i got my o level results, i also thot i could do better.
when i got my a level results, i also thot i could do better.
lame right, but ya. i have nv been satisfied.
a lot of pple told me that "xiaoting u r a very smart girl!" -- no la that only came from kevin. haah. but a lot of pple think and said that i was smart. or shld i say intelligent.
but how do u define intelligence? and frankly speaking, what is being smart?
does it mean that u can get really good grades, that means u r smart?
does it mean u speak very well, that means u r smart?
what determines u to be smart or not? and what makes u noe if i m smart or not?
yest somebody asked chan eng. r u smarter or xiaoting smarter?
den chan eng said xiao ting. haah. but what is the basis of comparison? i really wan to noe.
when i m studying chinese, i dun really feel smart, seriously speaking. n i dun think i m very street smart either.
so xiaoting, what r u? haah
*i m not trying to boast that i m smart or intelligent. but jus wondering. r u smart?

being emo
it's weird that i m feeling a little emo right now. but i realise that i usually feel that on sat nights.
there was jus this realisation tdy in church. many times when i go thru problems, trials, obstacles and challenges, sometimes i will ask myself, the reason behind me doing all these things. many who noe me wonder y i gave up so many things for this. many think it is a pity. many, when they noe, r filled with bewilderment. it seems few understand.. y i lay down my life for Him.
i remembered i used to blog abt this incident. when my ex classmates wanted to go genting, they asked me. and when i knew it was on a weekend. i said no. becos i simply did not wan to miss church. and lim yang said. jus for this ah. den i said ya. and there r many things i have given up for God. and tdy..
when we started the service, and i was standing there singing n worshipping God, i felt like yes. this is wad i m living for. when the presence of God hits me, i jus like.. yah God. everything. really everything. i will not exchange anything in this world for this.
i love u lord.
i will not forget the times i promised i will lay down my life for u.
i will nv forget how i stood at the window and said, if this world is to give up on u, i will nv give up on u.
i will nv forget how every time things go wrong, whenever i m devastated, lost, hurt, disappointed, wounded, u will lovingly take me in ur arms and say, ting everything's gonna be ok. becos i m around.
it's you
you who have won my heart
taken me into your arms
comforted me like a friend
your love
surrounded me from the start
i nv want to be apart
from u ever again

the 300th entry.
this is not directed towards anybody but jus thoughts about how this world has become.
jus felt that what the Bible said is so true.
2Timothy 3:1
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! "
somehow in my heart i felt that this is the case in this world, especially in our generation and the generations below me. many have lost the spirit to serve, the spirit to give. love is benefiting others at the expense of yourself. i dunno if i m being over critical or what. but somehow i m so overwhelmed. by the fact that so many jus place themselves as the centre of their lives. one of the things i dislike to hear is ..
"but i jus dun wan to.."
"i dun feel like.."
"can i dun do this.."
"huh.."
i really pray from the bottom of my heart. there will a new generation who will rise up. pple who will lay down their lives for God. pple who will not live for their own desires. pple who will not jus wan to do things their way. many times pple say n think. but i want to do this.. i wan to do that. my question for u is. what does God wan u to do?
i remember since young, i have learned. of living out the will of God for my life. in everything i do, i will ask God. is this what u wan me to do? but i feel like the entire paradigm has changed. instead of asking God, christians now turn to themselves. what do i wan? and it is I, I, I, I, me, me, me and myself. pple dun serve God the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit. they serve I, me and myself.
christians who r reading this. my members who r reading this. my frens who r reading this. u noe i seldom say such things on my blog. but there is a burden i m carrying right now in my spirit. and i have got to say.
i beseech you brethren. if u r living only for urself right now, if u r always living for ur own priorities, for ur own life and pleasures, stop this moment to think. love is benefitting others at the expense of urself. i beseech you! stop living for urself. start living for God. ask God what He wants u to do. i really believe, that God is burdened, at seeing a new generation who lives for themselves. Bible said, David served God's purpose in his generation.
Will u serve God's purpose for ur generation?
Will u run with the vision of the church?
Will u live for, not urself, but for the vision God has placed in u, in ur cg, in city harvest or where u r?
frens stop looking inward. stop looking inside and say "I want this, I want that". start looking up to Him and say "what do u wan Lord?"..
let's be pleasers of God.
jus felt that what the Bible said is so true.

reflections
tdy saw sth a guy did n i felt so touched. he has learned to love, and he has learned to protect and to stand up for. and i have been amazed. and this is wad i think is manhood.
man who stands up when necessary. not to fight, but to protect.
man who will love n commit.
man who will be there to offer a shoulder or a listening ear.
that sisters do not have to take their place.
God raise up real men in our midst.
living to be near You Lord
I long to seek Your face
Lord forever You're my secret place

He gave me my answer
i was thinking, troubled over that entire problem. i was telling God i dun have the capacity to handle it.
but God works thru amazing ways. I was jus watching get rea! on channel newsasia and God gave me my answer.
the show was talking about this girl's home and how the founder is acty a pastor and he helps them in totally unconventional ways. i will not say i exactly agree with it, but i agree with love.
yes i agree with love.
i saw how he faced the struggles he does, how many times more difficult it is acty being a pst to these pple, how he loved them unconditionally.
this is wad i m called for.
beyond growth, multiplication, i m called to make disciples, to love them, to see them one day impacting their worlds for God. yes this is wad i m called to do, isn't it?

this is what happens to u when u stay at home for looong hours. u start thinking a lot of nonsense. haah.
有时候感觉我的世界不停的威胁着我
它誓言要垮下
许多时候
如果剩下的 影响的 是自己
或许我会无所谓
但是我身上背负的
却是更多更多
这些更多更多
让我一定要向前走
让我不能停滞不前
我不知道
为什么我这么喜欢在原地踏步
我已经那么习惯现在的生活
但是习惯是一件很怕人的事情
当我看到那座山
我真的好害怕
我好想转过身来
往后逃啊逃
我真的不想去面对
真的
但是。。
我却没有选择。
当初做的决定
让我如今没有选择
一定要往前走
一定要
when my world threatens to crash, will u promise to hold it up for me?

was jus reading a primary sch fren blog. wad amazes me was how both of us can be of the same age, came from the same sch, yet lead such different lives. she is now on nepal, and she has a bf from nepal.
sometimes i wonder has it been right to take this route.. this route commonly taken.. this route that is safely tested. and as i grow older, i m really seriously thinking. ting, what do u wan to do in the future?
for a really long time, things have been smooth sailing. so different compared to the life i had when i was younger. but it was those days that mould me to be who i m tdy. that kind of strength i have.
i dun wan to live my life as the average university student anymore. i need to jump out of it. live another life. fulfill my potential.
jus another random thing. i was jus telling my fren. i feel like i m living in a bubble. 与世隔绝。
