My first four weeks!!




I've again abandoned my blog . I was just too busy during these few weeks n not being able to settle down n drop down a few lines here . anyway , Uni started for 4 weeks. I'm looking forward to easter holidays !!! Although i'm only taking 3 subjects for this trimester but the work load is just TOO MUCH!!! One of the subject which i'm struggling with is BIOL 361 - it's a lab paper . I'm struggling with my lab report everyweek . My flatmates knew it best as i always complain about it. I have to design an experiment about Marfan Syndrome in two weeks time . I've got no idea what to do with that!!

Uni life is more than studies. I've joined the church leadership team last week . After an one hour chat with Kellee( my youth pastor) , she suggested me to take on the fulltime crave ( young adult) leadership role . I've told her my commitment in ICF n she suggested me to give it a try on the leadership team n go back to her anytime if i felt burnt out . I've listed out my busy days - Mon:ICF committee meeting n ICF leadership training (fortnightly) , Wed: Life group or church crave leader training , Fri : ICF , Sat : Discovering Jesus group by ICF , Sun : Committed to three servises in church .

I guess i'll be fine coz i know there r ppl who r busier than me :> I'm really glad to get to know Mel n Mel from Kiamaia :> We called them small Mel n Fishing Melvyn . They r both from sg . They talk singlish all the time . As i've been away for the whole summer , i've missed out a lot of things but when i looked into Esther Yap's life i've learnt many things . As i rarely had any church life when i'm in msia( parents don't allow me to church) i don't know much about the problem in church . I've learnt that church can be very imperfect as ppl in church can stir up so many issues . I've strongly felt that no one is perfect as we r all sinners n we r all in the process of learning . Got touched by what Pastor Kong from CHC said on last Sunday " Our church is the most imperfect church ." When ppl see the outward appearance like the quantity of the ppl in church , God looks into the quality of each individuals . Furthermore , i've learnt how important spiritual boundary is . As sometimes we listen to ppl's problems we tend to share the burden without noticing n as times goes by we'll be carrying a lot of burdens and one day when the other person crashed we will also crash . Ppl usually don't look into this matter that much but it may cause a serious problem in ur growth . It will not only affect u but also affect the ppl around u . It's like a snowball effect . The more i look into how i treated ppl the more i see the room of improvement . My sensitivity for ppl's needs r still weak n even sometimes i knew ppl need help ,i'm unwilling to step out from my comfort zone to offer my help . So many things to pray for , the more i know God the more i see how different i am to Him. But no matter how imperfect i am , He still loves me , isn't that awesome?

Praise God that two of my friends came to Christ last week . Can't stop my tears seeing Carson walking towards the stage during alter call . How many hard works behind this single soul ? A guy called Bruise had planted a tiny seed in him three year ago . Carson always refuse to come to church , he won't show interest when u try to talk to him about Jesus . But yet seeing how the ppl beside him praying for him for all these years i just can't stop my tears from rolling down my eyes. The ulimate work that had done behind him was from our Lord Jesus Christ . He laid down His life for him before he was born ,before he even knew Him , He died for him . How great is our God!! There are too many things in life that i can praise God about . I promise i'll try my best to write it here :> Want to glorify His name no matter what .
