It's actually fun!

For the first time in my life, I'm looking forward to future ktv sessions. :)

Wonders of the Holy Spirit

Cell group was awesome today. Today's the first time we have it on a Friday. There was ministry and a short time of praying for each other after that. I shall blog about the short yet significant prayer session because it really impacted me. We are suppose to pray for our partner(s) whom we don't interact a lot with without asking each other for our individual needs. In other words, we are suppose to discern in the spirit and pray for each other. The last time I did it was last year in SOT! But SOT one was more "hiong" of course, which makes the process more exciting! Nonetheless, it's always good to revive something which I greatly missed.

I was initially nervous, but prayed and saw 3 words in my mind. I then prayed along the line of the 3 words and allow the holy spirit to lead. To my amazement, it was accurate! And praise God for my partner who prayed and spoke accurately into my life too! How amazing is that! I was really excited after that! The manifestations of the gifts of the holy spirit are really great testimonies of how real and tangible God is in our lives! I'm really more inspired and convicted to move more actively in the gifts of the holy spirit, because it is so easy to neglect them or even belittle the power of these gifts when the comfort of settling in the natural realm is deceitfully satisfying. This experience really reminded me that we should integrate the holy spirit in our lives. It should not be shocking to see miracles emerge out of the prayers we make. In fact, we should expect them in our everyday lives as we walk together with the holy spirit, who gives His power freely to us. We will miss out a large portion of an exciting supernatural walk with God if we were to constrain our lives to the natural realm. That will mean totally missing out on the power of the holy spirit, and losing the ability to influence and be an effective witness. I'm really inspired to understand the holy spirit better and to walk closer with him.

Bye Bye

I really really like this song - the sophistication of the lyrics, rhythm and tune. She's amazing.

Bye Bye by Mariah Carey
This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up some times
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown full things separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
Theres so much more left so say
If you were with me today face to face

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And we were here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3

Bye bye

And you never got a chance to see how good I’ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
Am standing right here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye, bye

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)
And everyday life goes on like (everyday of my life I wish)
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile” (I wish)
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by (I wish, I wish, I wish as time goes by)
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And we were here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Its hard to say bye bye bye bye bye bye
So come on somebody sing it with me
Wave your hands up high
Hey hey, this if for my peoples who just lost somebody
So this is for everybody
You put your hand to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye bye)

To my precious tree

I love my tree! I really really do. I really appreciate the time you devoted last night to talk to me though you could have spend the time studying for your exams. I'm truly grateful. I feel so much better and indeed the truth sets us free. There's nothing more important than to walk in truth and love, being honest with yourself, with the people around you, and definitely with God. Fears and insecurities in our lives can sometimes act as binding forces and hinder us from becoming who we really are and what we can be in God. And as a result of that, we end up putting up a facade of ourselves and conform to the norms of our environment. We end up living a life that is not of truth, and not of faith; suppressing the inner us - our thoughts and our feelings.

So siew! Just want to say you are the best sister and friend in the world and thanks for sowing into the salvation of your fruit. Your counsel has always been precious and most importantly, you know me the best! :) Love you sis!

And I'm finally blogging again! This is a product by me to my dearest friend Xia Jiao while I was bored mugging for my exams 2 weeks ago . The wonders of a tablet PC. So Jac, to complement yours, I'm displaying this on my blog too! :)
