1 corinthians 15:58

My dear brothers,
stand firm.
Let nothing move you.
Always give fully
to the work of the Lord,
because you know that
your labour in the Lord
is not in vain.

In another few hours, I'll be off to sydney.

As rayson puts it, it's our Unstoppable II.
And I am excited!

Make me a dreamer.
Make me a visionary.

Fill my lacks.
Remove my doubts.
Light my path.

Only I, myself, am stopping God from what He wants to do through me.
And it shouldn't be that way.

Got this off Qinyan's blog.
As I did the questions, I couldnt predict what kind of results I may get.
Unlike love lang test, where some options are just purely obvious.

Here's my quiz results and some are awfully true!

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Alright...
Most of today was spent with YWAM and the cg.
It's the first restructuring I'm experiencing in wam, and it was ages ago from the last restructuring I experienced (Minus the transfer)

I don't exactly feel the drastic change; maybe not yet.
To me, ywam, or rather MinOps, is like this huge cg already.
There isnt any structural walls to begin with.
Perhaps cause we are really from everywhere and there isnt anything specifically to hold us together.
Rather it's our ministry, stringed up with this greater vision to impact the congregation with what we do.

And here we have, a farewell gathering with Daniel.
Thanks for all the 'provoking' questions.
And yes, I'll continue to feed my vision.

As some were sharing, I realised the most common thing that they thanked Daniel for was his patience, especially when Daniel becomes their 出氣筒.

I haven't screamed at anyone after flaring up, except to my parents I think.
I've gotten impatient, yes.
And my '出氣筒', to much apologies, are sometimes my dear volunteers.
That was one of the areas that God prompted me to grow in.
Especially since half of what I feel, people cant see.
Which is very dangerous...

And here's our last CG dinner.
Ian's missing from the photo.
Anyhows, it was about 1 year 7 months ago that I stepped into this group.

It felt like they were familiar strangers to me at first because I have been working with these people, though not very directly but still...
It wasnt an easy time as I question my purpose quite often initially.
But these bunch of people, through supper, jokes, laughter helped me integrate.
I guess I have became more sanguine because of them!
Honestly, I may not have known every individual on a deeper level through these times.
A little regretful, but nonetheless, I believe we are not bounded by structure.

Jem's phelgness and wisdom in the Word and pastoral heart.
Qianjin's proactiveness and gift of cooking.
Jia's spirit of excellence and caring nature.
Kaiwen's observation skills, guitar and house (haha).
Amelia's servanthood and histerical laughter.
Simon's quirkiness/lameness and servanthood.
Lee's pastoral heart and eagerness to grow.
Huiyang's shyness, random quirkiness and a heart to learn.
Ian's faithfulness and inquisitive mind.
Deng's randomness and gentle spirit.
Aloy's pastoral and willing spirit.

Here's the excited 'fans' queuing up for Jem's autograph.

This may sound a little complicated.
I was at 1st service and during altar call, Ps Jeff called for people to respond.
And I was having some trouble receiving a breakthrough in my prayer when I responded.
It's like an object getting stuck.
I questioned my eagerness, my level of faith, my willingness.
Something along that line must have had some problems.

And Shirls happened to be beside me and prayed for me.
I was really touched and convicted as well.
Though I still was stuck even after the 'Amen',
It occurred to me that I got to work on my lack.

On a side note, I'm not sure if because the chords played during altar call was similar, but the song 'I offer my life' came to my mind before they wanted it for 2nd service worship.
Not being sure of the actual lyrics, I realised these are just what I needed from me, for God.

All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

My prayer is my vision, my dream.

It's pretty official that I got to be self quarantined after the trip from Sydney.
I'll plan what I want to do in that 7 days at home...
Probably alot of watching of videos and dvds and stuff.

I've taken a liking towards korean music programs cause they feature covers and new renditions of pop tunes, oldies and stuff.
Madame B Salon, Music Travel LaLaLa and some others.

Currently watching one that features SNSD (I dont really like their cuteness and all, irks me. But they are not bad vocally...) and SUJU.
The studio video directions are simple until, it's quite boring.
Then again, they might not want to over complicate the programme.

Younha's rendition of Gee is superb!
