Even though i'm feeling tired, I thank God that whenever I need to serve Him, the strength just comes. Whenever I need to meet pple, my sheep, cg, HUP team, etc, strength just came. I know it can only be from God.
Sat morning I went for a late night jog at 2am after meeting the HUP team at Xin Wang Hongkong Cafe @ Kovan. Btw the meeting was goooood! I think the HUP team has a great vision to influence and impact lives through using IT to create a seamless communication platform. Nic, Stanley and Hongyao jia you! Coming back to the jog, it was a nice jog. Knowing that late night jogging is bad for health as it disturb the body from resting, I jog very slowly. Just wanna enjoy the cool of the night, and drain out my thoughts. I like jogging... I havent jog for soo long. I missed it. I really wanna get back my health. My health has deteriorated so much. (today the hairdresser commented that i looked more tired than the previous time she cut my hair). In the past I would jog 2 to 3 times per week. My maximum mileage was 20++ km per week. Now i'm skinny and weak. My knees seems to be giving me problems also. It's hurting much more recently...
Am I getting old? I dun want... I like to be youthful, not just look youthful which can be a problem.. i want to be youthful and mature. Settled and reliable. I want to join marathons, swim, looking pink with health. I have dreams which I hope to pursue. I dun want to be sickly and dull as this is not the life God has for me.

When I'm taking them off the shelf, there are pple around me looking... probably wondering this guy is so kiasu? greedy? hahaha.. so paiseh.
Finally, my Tecman membership card. hmm... pls borrow from me if u need to shop at Tecman. I bought it to enjoy it's anniversary storewide discount (up to 40% off!!! ) but today it's the last day. LOL!

D-Day - 22 June 2008
Yesterday finally the news was broken to the whole cg. I think David was rather stressed up about the announcement, not talking much, just eating his bowl of abalone kolo mee. Probably thinking about how to announce it. I'm eating and enjoying the last moment of tspt cg together.
After some time, david spoke. There was silence following a little commotion of "huh??" I dare not look up or at the faces of everyone as david went on to explain the changes. I was wondering how would the cg respond be at such a sudden news. Then i took a little peep around, abi picking on her coconut (thinking about sthg?), joanne listening and deep in thoughts also, yuhui was blocked by joyce, i cant see joyce cos my head is frozen at a position. Justin and Ellson listening intendly i think. Tears were welling in my eyes.. i continued to look down.
I think our cg has come a long way, tho it's a short one year together. The fellowship has grown deeper over the months especially after our malacca trip and planning and preparing for services together. The trip to adults camp had even deepen our convictions, love and commitment to one another further. Tho we all know that we will part sooner or later at the end of the year, but no one expected it, or at least i dun expect it to come so soon.
There is always sadness during parting, however the deeper the sadness shows the depth of love we have for one another. It's a good sadness. =)
Even as i'm reluctant to leave this cg, i know i need to fulfill God's calling to build His Kingdom. It's a privilege to serve God this way and an opportunity for me to grow. I'm excited over this calling. Frankly I do miss pastoral ministry also. Seeing the pple who will be in my cg, there will be familiar faces.. seems like God is suggesting that i have unfinished work left behind in the past when i'm still in uni. This morning as i'm walking to work, I feel as if I'm peter. Peter is such an emotional, rash and phlegmatic (correct me if i'm wrong) person also. Jesus asked him 3 times "do you love me" and said "feed my sheep". I thought Jesus is asking me the same question too.. "yes I will. Lead me..."
TSPT jia you. I will rem my covenant with you.
YP here i come!

You are faithful
Your joy is my strength
Always you're with me
Your hand will lead me
My trust is in Your Name
You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful

Adults Camp ended two weeks ago. Many things have happened during and after the camp. It's really an ACTSperience God Camp. My experiences with God during the camp are so tangible that i can't help but say that "GOD I LOVE YOU!". For very long, I have never hunger for God so so much. I feel as if my heart has been re-newed, my spirit man is revived and I'm alive again!
My life seems to have taken a 180 degrees turn-a-bout with many challenges awaiting for me. My path ahead will not be easy and i thank God that He will be there to walk together with me. Looking back, God, thank you for the journey in the past 8 years. Despite of my unfaithfulness and repeated mistakes, you have never given up on me. If not for your grace, I won't be who I am today. We will continue to walk together till I meet you face to face together with my loved ones. My heart is filled with so much gratitude towards you. This song speaks of my heart... this is for you God..
Love,
Jan
