I finished Pst Ulf's 'Our Holy Calling' finally... There's one part which really touched me... He mentioned something about being a pillar in the church... Pillars have a different calling. They exist and are there without people around realising. But they are vital to support the church. Without them, the church wont exist. It's true physically, it's also true spiritually... And also on a smaller scale at the cell group level...
A cg needs to have pillars who will support the functioning of a cg. The pillars are there day n nite, rain or shine, without any words of complain... Just hoping for more pillarts to be built so that the burden is lighter... And when there are more pillars, the weight which can be supported also increases... And one day, when the number of pillars increase n increase til the pillars no longer feel the burden, then it's time to multiply. Conquer new grounds...
Just came back from CG. Really touched by the presence of God... Felt the hunger renewed... Been feeling so drained recently cos of work... So thank God for a great meeting just now... Hee... Going to read my bible le... Needa catch up tons man... Rach is going to kill me le... Hahaha...
Send your mighty wind
Renew this life within
Spirit of God fall down
Fall with your fire and power from high
Ignite in me again
Our hearts live in Your name
Spirit of God fall down
Pour as your rain revive us now
Restore our lives and quench these thirsty souls... ...
Great day ahead... Exciting times... Living from faith to faith... Faith robbers, get out of my life... I'm going to protect my spiritual walk... Feed my lambs, tend my sheep, feed my sheep... Not the goats!!! Hahaha... So the lambs n the sheeps will be full n taken care of... God touch me, use me, empower me, enlarge me, guide me, lead me, use me, move thru me... I give my life in exchange for all of you... I love you Lord...

Book Review - The good women of China
Recently I just finished reading a book called the good women of China. The author was a journalist who used to work as a radio broadcaster in China. She asks the women to call in to share their stories and they can remain anonymous in order to protect themselves.
So there were many cases of rapes cos the ppl were deprived of normal sexual relationships with their wives due to the war. Women were abused and tortured, some even lost their minds. In the poorest tribes of China, where one has to travel long distances to get in, the women were traded as commodities. The food they ate were also miserable.
As I read each story, I really feel that I am so blessed where I am. A caring and loving family. A safe place. Having a good education. Having equal standing with men. Given the same opportunities. Not prejudiced against...
Any one wanna borrow the book, let me know k? You'll really feel that those men shld be killed and the women are so pitiful... Each chapter talks abt one story of a woman, and it's really easy to read. All biographies, the author interviews them and write their stories down... Yep... :)

Ceilings...
We had a zone meeting with Jeremy last friday. Was really impacted by what he shared abt on ceilings we have set for ourselves, consciously or sub-consciously. So impacted that I called up Melinda on Tues nite and shared with her cos she missed it last fri...
This msg has been haunting me for the past week... I have been in my company for the past 2.5 years le... Have been taking it quite relaxedly... In the sense that I just do the minimal, such that wont get scolded by mgr or client. I know I can do better, but the resistance is very great and the motivation to break thru is not there... Cos in a few months time, I shld be out of here... So was really challenged by his msg that I just kept working and working for this week... Sleeping at 2+, 3 everyday and waking at 7 to go to work... So drained this week, but I know that I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me.
But even as I continue to expound on this word, there are 2 more expansions which I feel that this word can be applied...
1) DUN let other ppl's 'ceiling' hinder you from breaking through!!!
Why is your breakthru dependent on others? You need to remove all baggages, leeches which are clinging onto you so that you can run and soar... At the rate that God has spoken to you. By allowing someone else's problems to be your problem, you'll always be slower... THen you see ppl ard you exceeding you, winning the race in front of you and you will become lethargic and give up... So in the 1st place, dun let ppl leech on you...
2) Dun set ceilings over other ppl...
Similarly, we shldnt help others to limit what they can do in Christ... We shld always challenge the ppl ard us, this will stir us to keep going also... As we challenge ourselves to break through each glass ceilings, we need to encourage and pull the rest of the ppl ard us to do the same also... Then it'll be fun and a joy for the ppl to be striving ppl and this is how we all breakthru and grow together...
Yep... So these are the things which are constantly bugging me.. And I am in office now.. But am leaving soon... going dinner then home... I can do it!!! I can excel... I can complete all the things which are outstanding... I can... I want to... I muz... Yeah!!!

Seam bursting
I was in the office today when i turned my head to the left and saw some hairy flesh... Erm... Ok ok... The guy beside me? The right side of his pants were torn at the seam... The upper thigh part, then he was crossing his right leg at the ankle so while I was turning my head to the left, I saw it la... Then I quickly turned back n continued working... Not sure if he knows abt it... Oops...
This happened to me too... Hahhaa... Twice these few weeks le... Both times i discovered it myself... Just hoping that no one else saw it before me... Both were pants...
One was on the left inner thigh... Which I discovered during lunch... So I went back office and took a stapler and went to the toilet n stapled it back... Hahaha... Then I even went for driving lesson after that... Heh...
The other one was on another pair of pants, at the area below the zip... Found it at client's place... As the hole was not visible while walking, I left it... And I cabbed back home after work, so quite safe la...
So I think I going to check all the seams of my clothes b4 I wear... Especially for those clothes which have been more than a year old... Better be safe than sorry... Imagine I have a hole at my bum and I wont know it... So paiseh... Hahaha... And I think u shld go check ur clothes too...
I thot if this title cos of that chains are breaking song... Hahaha... Still cant get it out of my head... So here it's seams are breaking... Hahahaha... Lol!!!
