I'm back!!! :D

Whee I've got mixed feelings about being back in Singapore!!
It definitely feels great to be back but I reli miss the people back in Laos too!
They were such nice folks, and their lifestyle is super simple :D
To quote weilin "Many people measure wealth in terms of how much money they have, but I say that these people are wealthy, because they have little and yet can give so much"

I miss many many things.
Miss the rice planting, sch painting and esp. the interaction with kids!!! :D
OMG the kids are super adorable and they know how to stand up for u too! :P
The last day at the village was most emotional.
It was hard not to tear.
I truly understood wad it meant when good friends have to part.
Though its onli 2 weeks, but I believe that the bonds we've built was last a lifetime!

Took many pics, but shall upload my favs here onli.
Check out the rest on fb :D
Note: The following pics are in REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. You are advised to scroll down to the last pic and start viewing from there as u scroll up :D

Inherit the blessings of God!

Recently my posts have been all about how good Jesus is.
And this is something I muz keep saying, and saying, and saying.
Love Kaiqi's prayer on Sunday.
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus", says Romans 8:1.
AMEN!!
NO MORE CONDEMNATION!!
Why is there no more condemnation?
Because Jesus took it all at the Cross!
He took every pain, every suffering, every judgement, every punishment and every curse on our behalf.
He took our place, died our death and became the ultimate sacrifice!
Do you know that He died for all your sins?
And when He said all, he meant ALL!!
Some people believe that Jesus died for our past and present sins only.
But when Jesus died on that Cross 2009 years ago, all the sins that you now know are forgiven are future sins.
Do you get it?
The Cross is out of time!
It was the ultimate way of God saying "I love you" :)
When will we ever realise that God loves us so so much?
Confession becomes a thanksgiving for the gift of righteousness!
Repentance leads to overflowing joy as we realise the richness of His Grace!
The gift of No Condemnation will empower us to sin no more!
Romans 5:14 puts it very clearly:
"For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." (NKJV)
Wad a powerful verse!!
It tells us that when we operate under grace, sin will have no power over us!
Yes, we are not perfect, but when God's love and grace so fills us, and when we realise that there is no more condemnation, we will be empowered to sin NO MORE!!
Praise God for He is indeed our saviour and our redeemer.
He that saw no sin became sin so that we who are not righteous can receive His righteousness and reign in life! :D

Today I was worrying abt the Hillsong tix.
Whether I would be able to get so many ornot.
Cos priority is given to New Creation Church this year.
Thank God for Liru, who reminded me that we lead stress-free lives.
Knowing our part and leaving the rest to God is sometimes the best thing we can do.
But many a times we want control over many things.
It was a simple yet powerful lesson.
Believe and trust in Him.
Things will work out, not because we juz know it will, but because we truly believe that God wants the best for us! :)

It is important to know our identity in Christ.
It is something that cannot be robbed from us once we are sure of it.
We are His Beloved :)
Deeply Loved.
Highly Favoured.
Greatly Blessed.
Saved by grace through faith.
When we are sure tat we are His Beloved, surely the blessings will start to flow in our lives.
He came to give not onli life, but ABUNDANT life!
Every single promise in the bible is ours to claim and receive! :D

This will prob be my last post b4 I leave for Laos.
I believe that it will be an exciting and enriching trip for me :)
I may not know what to expect for every single day that I'm there.
There may be uncertainties.
But I am assured of one thing.
And that is He cannot love me any more or any less.
His love is constant, everlasting and unchanging.
He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore.
And that is more than enough for me :)
I am safe in His hands.
'No evil, no terror, no arrow, no plague.
Shall ever come near me.
For You are my safety my hiding place.
Jesus I trust in You.'


I'm leaving early sat morning.
Will be back on the day the rest leave for Shanghai.
Shall take many many photos, hopefully with a new camera :D
The trip's gonna be a blast!
His name will be lifted on high!! :D

p.s. Dont miss me! :P

Perfect Offering

Your single Sacrifice
Removed my sins forever
Boldly I draw near to worship You

Your selfless Act of love
Perfected me forever
Justified I rise to honour You

Now unveil my eyes
I behold Your glory
The beauty of Your face is all I see

Hallelujah
Exalted, risen King

I worship You

The sharing :)

It was a great day today!
Wonderful movie.
Great Company.
And Fresh Revelation! :)

I truly understood wad it meant by Man can plan but when God takes over, it's a world of a difference!! I learnt abt diif viewpoints without compromising on the one truth that we all know, and this is found in John 3:16. Do you know how deeply loved you are? :D When u begin to truly understand this simple truth, your whole life will be transformed from the inside out! Special thanks to Jing Hui for her fresh revelation! :) Its so amazing la, the grace of God!!

This verse hit me when I was waiting for the rest and reading : Hebrews 8:12

'For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more'

Truly, the love of God is so great and deep!
What I have realised is just the tip of the iceberg!
And I believe there's so much more to come! :D
In love there is no fear!
And this love refreshes you from top to bottom.
Strength that comes from within.
Coupled with an excitement to know abt Him more and more!
And you cant contain yourself but to tell others about the Good News!
Which is exactly wad I did today! :)))
