hey peeps! belated
MERRY CHRISTMAS!, which is also
HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!sorry, had no time to blog yesterday coz i was damn busy. so shall blog bout ytsd today(:
25 december 08!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!! im so glad that you were born, coz if its wasnt for you, we wont be able to have this fabulous festive! of sharing, and exchanging presents!:DD
ok, sooooo i woke up at 6.45 am! coz had to be in church at 7.15, but low and behold we started at bout 7.45(?) which means i should have woke up at like 7. anyw, i reached there on time, but i was like the only one there, besides of jondave, josiah and a p6 girl, so i sat outside chapel to wait for phoebe( not really waiting for her lah, but like someone i really know)
sooo, yup i waited. ohhh, and the funny thing was when jondave came back from cheers, there is like this drain that links to our church, yup and the boys always like to walk by that way coz its shorter? so i guess he slip and he ALMOST fell, hahaha, it was hilarious! then when he got up, he was like "did you see that?" and i was like"yup", then he was like, " whoa, luckily almost, almost" hahahahaha.
so people started arriving, then we had to wait outside, coz the 'key' uncle wasnt there yet, so we couldnt go into the chapel. we waited..& waited and we were all complaining coz we never woke up so early on christmas. haha, and there were many
'santa clauses' giving out cards. and i am going to be one this sunday;) lols, received lots of card. haha so ego/.
the door finally opened, then we practiced, and had warm ups, and we were all half dead! and, luckily there was this screen infront of us that showed us the lyrics. coz none of us memorize. haha. oh, and during worship, the projectionist forgot to change lyrics, and we were like _______. haha, it was really weird. then after 1st service, practiced a bit, then 2nd service. then i had to wait for my parents to finish service, and we all couldnt go in, coz it was packed! so we stayed in the room, and talked. haha, and jondave started to throw chocolates everywhere!:D finally service ended, met abi and hseun chi, then went for lunch.(:
after that, when for my dad's colleague party, then to my 'nanny's' house for another party. stayed there for like more than 2 hours, then went home! i was exhausted mann..
ohhh, and i felt really guilty bout not writing any cards, so i weakened out, and decided to write. so yup!(:
and thank you jesus for dying on the cross, and for paying for our sins, because if not for you i waont be here on earth!:D i
LOVE YOU JESUS!(:bye, dearies;)

The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And 'til I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You
- Till i see you by Hillsong united
HELLO!
im currently having fever, so yup pray for me to get well soon coz i'll be performing on christmas!
so anyw, i felt that today was rather meaningful even though i stayed at home the whole day.
oh, and btw the song above, yup i've been singing that like the whole day, and i everytime i sing i will start tearing. and i really feel Jesus talking to me today. that what happened yesterday, i mean about me feeling really bad after my performance i think that its Jesus way of teaching me, that i should have practiced harder and that his teaching me to face failure.ohhhh! and i really wanna thank God for making me go RHEMA, coz at first i didnt wanna go, until phoebe and abi persuaded me, then i signed up, coz i also felt this prompting, and it was just A WEEK BEFORE RHEMA! yup! and i think i made a right decision, coz i feel that i have changed after going to rhema, like i take worship seriously now, and im starting to pay attention to the sermon.(: so im really happy!
& i guess that everything God planned for me, its good! and i shall follow it, and not try to change it.
okay, anyw i've got my aim for 2009!
1) Grow closer to God, like never before
2) Spread the gospel to at least 5 people next year
3) finish reading the Bible by end of next year
4) do devotion everyday!
5) LOVE GOD!!!:D
hahaha, looks impossible, but nothing is impossible with GOD!
