Renewal

This is really uncontrollably funny! Tried revamping my blog and went to www.blogskins.com but somehow, what was very easy in the past (when I was in JC) is super tedious now! Gosh...am I aging?! Why is the changing of blogskins so tricky now? Anyway, this didn't affect my mood to blog at all! ^_^

Firstly, I must really say that my sudden urge to blog arose when I was reading Xinying's blog. It just dawned upon me that I used to love blogging so much...as much as I love tweeting now. Though my blog is a non-living object, I do feel guilty of neglecting it. So...*Sayang Blog*.

Current Mode: THANKFUL

I have lately been thinking about everything that is going on in my life - the big and the little; and I just cannot help but to thank God for life itself. It is a privilege to be breathing and a bonus to be serving in His house, loving Him and being loved by Him.

Yes, I'm in the LOVE season. 2 weeks ago, I had one of the most amazing zone meetings in my life. Kelvin spoke a word over me and that literally ply open my ears, eyes, mouth and heart. (Thank You Kelvin!)

Matthew 9:17
Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

This is not a new verse to me but the revelation is piping hot from heaven. It is not unusual for me to dream big dreams or to do big things, but it's pretty challenging to dream new things. I know that I am in a season that God wants to give me a new vision, new heart, new capacity, new thinking, new everything. But like what Dr. Kim said, God dislikes waste and I know that unless I renew myself, I will waste all these great things that God has intended for me. I need a new wineskin to contain the new wine.

For 1 whole week, I thought and prayed about nothing but renewal - "God, change me. God, renew me." Honestly, I said these prayers without knowing how! Haha. I thought my life was too OK and I didn't know what to change or where to start! Thank God for God encounters. :) I come to realize that without God's intervention, my eyes will always be blinded. *Bam!* One night, One touch and everything opened!

It is impossible for God to fix something that is not broken.

Of course, I shall not blog about the details but for God to fix me, I know I must...

• Never be complacent about what God has placed in my hands,
• Always be faithful in being the best steward I know how,
• Continue to hunger and thirst for God, etc.

The result of new wine in new wineskin is preservation and preservation is sustainability, longevity, eternity!

It is a process and I will do my best to pass every stage and level with flying colours.

Surprise Blog

I am here to blog! Haha. Thank you so much to my faithful friends who have been constantly visiting this very long never update blog. Honestly, I didn't intend to blog tonight (as you can see from the time now that it is not really a blog-able time for Rae!) but I just feel random. ;p

This Sunday's gonna be Vision weekend! We always learned that "without a vision, people perish" and I realized this week that "with a vision, people really cherish". Haha. I know this may sound a little cheesy but it is really true. Not sure if you have ever observed - an individual who has a vision will fight for it with his/her life no matter the price and pain. To many, it may seem like insanity but to me and to God, this is tenacity! I remembered Jiahui used to love this word - tenacity - the ability to bounce back. People who made/make it big in life are not people who have never failed before but they are the ones who have failed countless time and still, you will see them around. They never leave and always bounce back. They are willing to lay down their lives and we all know that the process may really be torturous but the reward at the end of the day is always the sweetest and most worthy of all.

This week's really "amazing". I have to confess that it has been a long time since I felt my emotions and strength so taxed. Well, whenever things like this happen, I know the harvest is here. It is yet again a time for ploughing and eventually reaping and rest for a season. I love God! I love this cycle that He operates in - Plough > Growth > Rest > Plough > Growth > Rest > Plough > Growth > etc etc. Thank God He never stops!!! PS: I don't wanna serve a laid back stop halfway Master.

I am certain PK will share a powerful message this Vision weekend and I know for sure that the harvest is ours!

KEL - 200 is ours!

Dear Dear - 26 is yours!

Rae - 52 and 10,000 is mine!

W459 - 40 is ours!

Asher, Xinying & Jingying - VICTORY is yours!

Own it as if you have owned it!

My Friday Night

Yes, it is a Friday night and I am at home! Yes! AT HOME! Reason? My eye is infected again! But I still must thank God that the frequency of this infection is slowing down. If you have known me more than 2 years ago, I've eye infection at least once a month? :) So God is really good! He's healing me. Slowly but surely!

Well, since I'm at home, I've decided to make my time worth it. Hence, I made a decision to blog! Wahahaha.

On my 12th day of vege fast today and I'm 3 hours away to my 13th day! (YES!!!) 12 days have passed and 20 more days to go. Then it will be CHRISTMAS DAY! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!* I'm smelling Christmas! Haha.

Anyway, the past 12 days are really adventurous. I went to Swensens and ate Tofu Salad for the first time. I ate cai fan and for the first time my whole plate is green and white. I ate yong tau fu and it's all white (i.e. tofu, golden mushrooms, dried mushrooms, steamed tao pok). I went Jack's place and while Edwin's beef plate is sizzling, I stuffed potato, fruits and vege salad into my mouth. I went to the Straits Kitchen buffett at Grand Hyatt and ate Carrot Cake and Rojak. I had mexican food but it's vegeterian. I ate subway and ordered Vege Delight. Hahahaha. I'm going green! These 32 days are really renouncing the flesh for me because I HATE VEGE! Ask Edwin, ask mummy ask anyone! I don't eat VEGE! *Yucks* But because of my gastric problem, I cannot go on full fast. Haha. But really, I just love God more with everyday I fast. I love W459 more with each passing day of fast too! So W459, you must be happy that I'm fasting! :)

Anyway, 2 Chr 7:14 means so much to me. I've been clinging on to this and I know new grounds are breaking! Time to smash! Whooots!

Alright...I shall go feed my soul for a little while. WATCH TV!

PS: Please pray for my recovery! I want my pretty eyes back!
