- Went to TYA BBQ and it was fun able to interact with the kids..it's the first time I feel I am much more closer with the kids in TYA. I think it's because I have been coming for TYA in alternate week thus maybe the kids might feel a bit astrange when I approached them. Well the BBQ do help me break ice with some of the primary four to six kids..It do remind me of my time with the kids in GKids..Anyway back to the BBQ..yup the weather wasn't very good on that day..so it actually rained when we were enjoying our food..and we got to move to some shelther which was quite a distance away..But the rain do stop after sometime and I am glad beign able to play at the beach with the kids..building sandcastle..playing with water hee...The whole BBQ end around 7 plus..Tired..but I thank God for the bonding..

14 Jun - Went to bugis shopping with my sisters... really crowded with people..but i still want to shop for some office wear...hee thank God for his provision...Finally able to go shopping..hee haven been going shopping for some time =]
15 Jun - got to wake up very early for service today..Thank God for Pastor Lawerence..His sermon today sharing about the world suffering from hunger despite of having more food produce than before...John 6:35 "I am the bread of life"..Jesus is the bread of life.. the food that last and with him we will never suffer from any other hungry ( other than the hungry for Him..)..I agree with what pastor said.." the gate way to the great way of God is Faith.." we are always hungry..people are hungry..not just for food..for money..for love for any other things which we call them "tempory"..and here Jesus informed us "not to go for food that spoils but for food that endures to enternal life.." ..If there is any greater blessing in this world..it is to have God who take care of your life, who loves you more than anyone do, who bless you unconditionally...God is the greatest blessing in our life... And I hope I will not forget this...cos often I am disturbed with other things and needs in my mind..I just cannot focus on Him..I believe that like many other..sometimes we do struggle with sins..and even some situation in life..where we know the simple answer to these is..a prayer and a cry to our abba father...but we just forget..or rather struggle..
Recently, i listen to pastor's joseph prince's sermon..from the cd which was given when me going to Hillsong concert..pastor joseph share about the greatest story in the bible.."the lost son" find in luke 15:11 -31...the way he share this parable was really good..it makes me have a sec thought about this story..and I just realise..oh no I can I not know such great love of the Father...As i listen to the sermon..i couldn't help thank God and worship Him for his goodness... (Will share more with the girls on cell hee)..
Anyway back to pastor's lawerence sermon.. I think pastor do share some remarkable quote and question which I feel like writing it here..
1) Are you seeking God or seeking experience ?
2) U don't have to do anything to earn God's love..His love is a gift ...
3) Don't ask God for ministry, for nation etc..Believe that He has and will bless you..
4)The gate way to the great way of God is Faith..
5)To overcome hungry is to be hungry for God..(when you are hungry for God..he filled and remove all the other hunger..
How many times do we have to break his heart ?
How many times do our heart has to be wound ?
How many times do we have to lose our way ?
How many times do we have to be reminded of the way ?
How many times do we have to remind ourself never to sin again?
How many times ..then we can be awake?
I often ask myself these questions..when ur loved one break your heart..the pain is the same as the time we break His heart...Hee that's the way I remind myself of God's love and warn myself..hee don't break his heart...And God is teaching me only his love can fill my other hunger...I think I really need to learn this lesson....thank God for that...
Today is father's day..not only for our earthly father..but for GOd our heavenly father..HAPPY FATHER'S DAY =]
Hee like to dedicate this song to reader...This song ..the first time i hear it was three four years ago..hee sound "old" but it do remind me ..of "You, God"..
"How Could I Live" - Hillsong
How could I live without You
How could I surviveWithout Your love
Without Your touch
You're the One that heals me
And cleanses my heart
And sets me free
Now i come right before You
With my hands lifted up
With my heart humbly bowed
At Your work on the cross
As You hang there and die
You were paying the price
For my life, For my life
For Your love is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the seas
And all I want is You in my life
No one else can satisfy my soul
Can make me feel this way
Only You Lord, only You
