a special wedding
attended the wedding of 2 special friends today. it was amazing. as i recalled how i got to know the both of them, i thank God for them, and how He has brought them together. both of them have been wonderful examples for me all these years. they both have led me in one way or another and have encouraged me along in minstry. what he said about her was so true. i like her passion for people. i like her love for God. thank you so much for being such an important part of my life. thank you Lord, for her, for leaving footprints in the lives of many. it's a privilege to know her. really. here's a hug for you.... *big hug* i'm so so so so so so glad for you and him. may your marriage be filled with His love and His grace.

baby Jesus
about 2000 years ago, a man came into the world. He is the reason behind BC and AD in our calendars. this person is Jesus Christ. He, the creator of the universe came into the world as a baby. this is humilty. and He did this for us. so that we might know how to be right with God. He could have came into the world as a full grown adult. but he didn't. he came as a baby, going through everything we went through. he had to learn how to talk, how to eat, how to brush his teeth, how to wear his sandals, how to walk......... he wasn't a super baby (if you know what i mean). he went through all this for us. He was born on Christmas. He was born to die. He died so that we may have new life. He would rather die than to see us die. God's LOVE is amazing. the good news is that He didn't remain dead, he rose again on the 3rd day, conquering over death. Jesus is alive. and we all worship a living God. not a dead one. thank you Lord for your Son.

christmas service
had christmas service in church today. thank you yeeli and zien for coming! received many gifts too. i love every single one of them. mark is so thoughtful. he gave me a file that has a verse on it and it's very cute. the christmas present that touched my heart most was from J. it was a card. it meant so much because i think God was telling me something. i'm not sure. the drawing was amazing. (: thank you J.C and K gave me this huge flower stuff toy thing that can record voices and playback. they recorded their voices inside saying, "merry christmas jie jie sherlyn". so cute!
glad to see the 3 Js back... jean, jane, jimmy. with so many others like toby, ruth, evelyn, joy, etc etc... ha. they all came to church today after coming back from overseas for a short holiday. i didn't get to talk much with them. would have wanted to, but there were too many people around.. but still, i was very glad to see them! especially the 3 Js.... miss them alot!

God has been so gracious
I prayed 3 prayers for the event1. I prayed that God give us a miracle. that miracle was that more than 100 people would come for the event.
2. I prayed that God will give us fine weather on the day of the event. it rained the day before the event and the day after, but it didn't rain on the event day.
3. I prayed that the students who signed up would not back out last minute on the day itself. only 5 out of 103 students backed out. and we even had 7 new sign ups on the day itself.
God answered all 3 prayers. it was so amazing. i really experienced what it means when john 15:5 says that without Christ, i cannot do anything. everything is by the grace of God. by human effort, these 3 would not have came true. this is the most thrilling and memorable part of the whole process of planning for this event. personally, i think God is teaching me a lesson: to depend on Him. (but of course that does not mean i can just be lazy and not do anything) i thank God for His grace, His listening to our prayers and His love for His children.
thank you all who helped out in one way or another (:
your help meant alot. thanks. from the bottom of my heart.

here or there?
it feels really horrible to be physically at one place while your mind is somewhere else... what happens is that you are not really here or there, and i think the people around you can sense it...

bible trail day 2 and 3
when we share the Gospel, we need to know that sometimes people do not believe in it. and that it is because they suppress the truth by their sin. we must continually depend on God and the Holy Spirit to change the hearts of those we are talking to. we will also have to listen to them carefully and to hear it out from them. let us not be too quick in giving others an answer, but let us learn how to listen, and then share Christ to them in a way that relates to them. let's do so in gentleness and in respect.another thing is that God does open opportunities for us to share Christ with others. just that sometimes when the opportunity comes, we fail to identify it and take hold of it. rather, we close the door of the opportunity that God has opened.
we are not ashamed of the Gospel!!!! for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

here i go again
Why is it that sometimes we are so afraid to tell our friends about Christ? Why do we often speak about things that wouldn't last? Each meeting with our friend might be the last chance we get to tell him/her about Christ. just say it! just tell others about Christ! check out the lyrics. "Here I Go Again" by Casting Crowns
Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away
So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words
What am I so afraid of?
'Cause here I go again
Talkin 'bout the rain
And mulling over things that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love Him
But here I go again, here I go again
Lord, You love him so, You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe; he will never die
But how then will he know what he has never heard
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
You love him, You love him
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard
