Salt and Light 

V1:

We are salt of the Earth

A Light to the world

That All will shine

For Jesus

That the world may know 

He is God

 

Chorus:

How great His Love

How great it is

His death on the cross

Reconciled man to God

 

V2:

Jesus is the one who cares

He deliver me from my fears

That all the world may know and all will see

He is real in our lives (my life)

 

Bridge:

Jesus is love, Jesus is love

He cares for me, He cares for me

He is the one, He is the one

He is the one, the one that I love!

 

Daddy God, just gave me this song last night; 2 hours,, But it meant a lot to me; of course this song I want to give it to 3 of my closest friends. They have been a part of my life; growing up and all… So they are, Sarah Phua, Sharon Lee and Sinyi! Well it’s written, with Matt 5: 13-16 , was memorizing and meditating upon it and God just gave me the words; though it really got me frustrated that I forget the Chorus but God just gave a new Chorus probably He wanted it that way (: Well, it’s really tiring but was good. Holy Spirit is amazing. I was really tired trying to lie on the bed to rest; then God put this friend name in my head; I was like I’ve not talk to this person for 2 years; not close at all. Then God said send him Jesus loves you! and I did! And asked if anything I could pray for; and his reply was amazing. It started with a Wow! then Amazing, and yupp. God wants to use us to reach the people who needs Him, people who are hungry and who are hurting inside; Are you willing to let Him use you? Open your ears and heart to God; He uses anyone.. Take Care!

 

This is an oil painting by Keith Green; Well this painting was a vision God gave to William Booth.. So he painted it out. Well the centre of the stage as you can see people are happy and contented, satisfied with themselves. Music; dating and everything. It represents us, Christians like we worship God and is very happy ourselves, but look at the sea, many people are like drowning; Do we really care for people like these? Honestly, I don’t, I’m just happy with myself, but through the past week, I learnt so much, it’s not about me it’s God. The world needs to know there’s a God who love and cares. That’s Jesus. Like in the painting you can see Jesus was like trying to save the people but we children of God just stay the way we are Happy and not trying to help the people in need. It speaks a lot of truth and conviction this painting. We need to help these people. But I really like this painting, it makes met think who I really am. 

Well, the past week at the Missions Conference was great, I probably didn’t go for 2 workshops, but it’s fine, valid reasons, went to do outreach, and all. It is good. I’ve learnt to serve the Lord with my heart, my whole heart, I choose to do what He wants me to do. Well, finally I gave my life to full time missions, because that’s what I want to do the rest of my life. Exciting, but scary.. But I’ll be fine (: The world needs to know (: I totally enjoy talking to people about God. Forever,  I enjoy talking to them how do they believe in God.. Telling them who Jesus is ; that He loves and cares for them and my story of how Jesus was real in my life.

I’ve learnt another thing. Not to compare myself with others, because I’m definitely different all the people around. So here’s smth for you to know too. Don’t compare yourself with others, it just cause us to feel really bad when others are like better. This isn’t what God wants, yupp. I was struggling a little with this but I’m certain about it. I don’t need to better, I just want to be the way I am. God gave us different gifts; so no point comparing ourselves with others or strive to do something that make you lose the identity of yourself to be someone else. It’s quite dumb actually. Well this lesson I got to learn it hard, I’m starting school, I’m quite sure I like to compare myself with others when it comes to design and Art. Certainly this guy said this to us at the workshop ‘ Comparison kills Passion’ Exactly, it makes a lot of sense to me. 

 

Lord, just keep me simple , the child who loves you 

who wants to walk in the path you have for me.

Help me not look left or right to people 

and compare with others;

but instead look to You!

Not concerned with the things around 

and just loving you; like in the world there’s like

2 of us. Lord, I thank you for being so real in my life. 

It’s a privilege to know you and have you by my side always.

I pray all these in Jesus precious name, Amen.

 

It feels I’m like at the top of this world seriously; 

This 2 days are amazing days of life; life changing; 

Brought the YWAM missionaries around on tuesday to do street e;

Amazing stories; There are 20 and more people gave their lives to Jesus on tuesday..

I was talkiing to a auntie; her daughter is a Christian; I just pop the question; and She said yes! It’s like her eyes were all watery when she finish saying the prayer. It’s amazing and awesome how God saves!

I truly love talking to people just like how they do; about Jesus about God

When He is the love of your life; you just want to tell others who He is.. It’s no point keeping Jesus to yourself and not telling others about Him. 

This is what I want to do the rest of my life; I’ve always love sharing the Gospel and all about Jesus and the things He had done in my life. They are all amazing! 

Well, you’ll never find me writing an entry at 6.50 a.m … But I’m really excited and decided to get up! I’m going for go forth conference! The missions conference.. It’s going to be great! I love missions seriously! 

I want to Love God like all the YWAM missionaries; they are really radical for Christ; I don’t care but I just want them to know Jesus the love of my life.. I’m so joyful and happy; I guess because when you does the work of God; it’s unexplainable joy! 

I thought it’s really a challenge for me to really not be afraid to share the Love of God. All of them is God sent to be an encouragement to me. I always want to witness; I always this thought, but hated to go alone; if I’m going alone I’ll not go. But looking at them; joining them it’s like there’s not much thought here; Don’t think and just go share it with them.. They really encouraged me a lot! 

Just that I was complaining I do not know people who thinks like me; I guess God proves it to me; these people exist! They think just like me; we just connects right through like the fastest internet speed or smth. My frustrations; they understand.. It’s so amazing! I can’t say anything but amazing!

Here’s something for all of you to think about, are you living your life out as Christ; in the things you say and even do; even how many people actually you shared this most precious gift of God with. That’s Jesus. Pray and ask God; to use you as a vessel in this world we live in.. Hang in there people; we don’t belong to this world.. 

I’m disappearing for the GO Forth Missions Conference.. ( I have no idea why I signed up; but it’s going to be amazing ! once again! )

Will share more stories again!

Evangelism (E) is a deep thing in my heart, that I thought I should write about..

I’ve been on i think 5 mission trips or more, certainly there are life changing moments in all of them.. 

When I was 17, went into Ngee Ann Poly, and studied there, join Campus Crusade for Christ (NPCCC) and I learnt a lot about the lost, about the ppl who have not known who God is. Subsequently, thru all the different activities, I learnt how to do basic evangelism with them.. So it’s a joy to do it, to really witness to people out there who have not known God, hearing their thoughts and everything.

I will never forget this the rest of my life, it was a tuesday morning, i reach school at 7 a.m for morning prayer for the ministry, it was harvest week, so we’re suppose to witness to the students in school. I was really tired, I had no strength, I prayed to God to grant me strength for the long day I’m going to have. Then in the evening like 5, we gathered to pray and worship before going out to witness in the campus. Then, God was saying to me, someone is going to receive Christ.. I was like errr… never in history all the people i shared with have never accepted Christ. I was like impossible! Then, went out to talk to ppl about God, the girl was like so ready and I pop the question, she said she wants to receive Christ. I was like faithless or something, because of uncertainty and doubt, I went through the booklet again with her to make sure she knows and she said yes and that she understands, I was so happy! Like God someone is your child today at this moment! Heaven Rejoices!  

That’s why I truly believe that the Lord uses anyone, to reach out to the world, I really think that, everyone can do it. Share the stories of the Lord with the people the miracles He did, I feel that’s already evangelism. I guess, this been growing in my heart, bigger but I was not aware. I went to China the past march. Spent a month there to reach the students in the universities, sharing our stories with them, though it was hard to say in Chinese, and even sms them in chinese.. Going to campus everyday, to spend time with them and make friends, and share God with them. They come to know the Lord in a special special way. It’s a joy for me to talk to people about God, maybe why I was really out of place the past week with my friends. 

Then, right now, I’m not excited for school in LASALLE actually. (: Must be thinking I’m mad, God grant his promise and sent me there though I really love that! but I’m actually really on fire and passionate and excited about ministry in school though. I have something for the ‘art’ people. Though they can be emo a lot, but I know they are searching! HuiHui Thanks! you just made me think they are actually ppl searching for a purpose in their life..

I must say God answers my prayers! just last week, I was dying to do street e.. But I just don’t know how, I don’t have friends in church that I can go out with to share God’s love. So I prayed desperately that Lord, I am really eager to go out to witness.’ probably only this i can’t remember, but I know I was like so eager to do this. Then suddenly this week, YWAM came and they are doing street e. I can’t help but say YES! and I always had a desire to reach out to the people in the skate park, maybe this will come true somehow! Brothers and sisters in Christ! Whether you are young or old, you still can share God with the people. Inadequate or adequate, it doesn’t matter to God. The world needs to know the Truth, share it!  

samsam seems to be not sane suddenly, wanting to do so much! I guess I’ll list my to dos so that I’ll not forget

1. Get a painting done!

2. Upload photos 

3. Design the you can’t eat money t shirt 

4. Pray Pray Pray

 

That’s about it for now! I’m off!

Food for thought

I’ve been thinking a lot, due to the past 2 posts, I found out the cause of everything.. 

It’s very dumb, and I realized I was stupid enough..

I tried conforming to the world, because I felt out of place, but I knew I just can’t 

Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Utterly failed attempt to be someone else i guess, it’s pointless people! to be someone not you.. be real! ppl like fashion, suicide, money, car , relationship and everything else… it’s not worth it to be change or try to have what they have and do what they do, it’s like not cool at all! that’s like copycat! (: my point is it’s not worth changing yourself for all these; because they are like vapour in the wind and you’ll not bring them with you when die..

‘ Only when the last tree has died

and the last river has been poisoned

and the last fish has been caught 

we will realize that we can’t eat money.’

- Cree Proverb

 

True, what do you think!

I’m going to design a t shirt with this! 

Magnificent Obsession - Steven Curtis Chapman

Lord, You know how much
I want to know so much
In the way of answers and explanations
I have cried and prayed
And still I seem to stay
In the middle of life’s complications
All this pursuing leaves me feeling
like I’m chasing down the wind
But now it’s brought me back to You
And I can see again

This is everything I want
This is everything I need
I want this to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You, Jesus
Be my magnificent obsession

So capture my heart again
Take me to depths I’ve never been
Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy
Return me to the cross
And let me be completely lost
In the wonder of the love
That You’ve shown me
Cut through these chains that tie
me down to so many lesser things
Let all my dreams fall to the ground
Until this one remains

You are everything I want
And You are everything I need
Lord, You are all my heart desires
You are everything to me

You are everything I want
You are everything I need
I want You to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You
I want it all to be for You

I live in a world, I feel I don’t belong

A place I find so familiar but now unfamiliar

It feels so strange these days

I just feel I can’t connect with people around me anymore

I don’t know why

Movies and Jokes flies all around

People surrounding me

Yet I feel all alone

In a world I call my own

Conversations about God seems to be gone

Every conversation, is more about ourselves more and more

Is this the way it should be?

It’s a pain in my heart, I can’t explain

Perhaps it’s me I’m desperate for Him, who love and made me

I just want Daddy God, more than anything

Complexity of this world overwhelms me

Simplicity is the only word I have

Just spending my moments, just with the Lord 

It’s all that I want

A heart on fire

A heart so hungry 

He must grow Bigger

I must grow even smaller

in this heart of mine

 

I wrote this, for my heart is in pain and there lies anguish, I don’t know why. I feel so unfamiliar with the world right now, like I just don’t belong really. People can go on about movies and actors, I won’t know any. Others will go on about jokes, I don’t find pleasure in any. I just feel I’m squeezed out in this place. I don’t think I know anything much. It’s more and more about our very own selves then God. I struggle all about it. I probably do not know anything, but I do know the Lord, that I trust and serve. I just love Him, He meant the world to me, that’s all I know right now. I don’t have anything, but I simply have Him by the side of me, loving and comforting me. it’s so strange now, for me these days… maybe this has become an obsession. An obsession with God. 

 

it’s 3.05 am… that’s the last thing I would ever do… To be here writing seriously.. But I can’t sleep… What a terrible feeling.. I adore sleep.. But I wonder why…  Well let’s see, what shall I write ..  I’m heading back to school soon! I really can’t wait, but none the less it’s a kind of fear, because I just don’t know what to expect.. It’s different certainly, will I become artsy ? I don’t know I have no answers to all the questions. Well, on a side note, I’m just who I am.. Still samsam.. I doubt that will change, because I am what I am when God made me. It’s been so long, and finally it’s something that i chose? People asked me why design? I can’t explain it.. 7 years of love and passion of it.. putting things together? something that I can really express myself with.. When it comes to communication, i probably don’t share common topics, not that I rarely speaks, but it’s not something I can connect with? I would say Design is a language for me, something different and precious to me.. I just can’t wait for school .. whatever it is, this is a fact.. but I see myself getting more sleepless nights when I start school, when the assignments and projects, i certainly see this coming.. that’s enough

I’m really sleepless today… I am here pouring over graphic magazines in my room typing this…. irritating feeling.. but i shall attempt to sleep again.. let you know the outcome when i do sleep..

 

 

 

He’s the artist, Leonard King behind this Salvation Mountain.

He spent more than 20 years on this project..

I thought these pictures were dreams at first… 

I never expect such a place existed.

That would be my dream job, isn’t it? I would love to spend all my time doing such things… 

I’m putting this place to my list of must visits in this world.. Salvation Mountain is certainly one of them…

I adore, these artwork, it’s amazing..

Enjoy people, if you’re going there let me know, I’ll join you!! 

No words can describe.. This is a dream for me, yet it is reality and it exist… 

The Salvation Mountain

I’ll dream of it tonight! 

It’s an inspiration for me (: 

 

 

Basically last week and this week, I did nothing! 

I’m really Happy about that, I guess I was sick last week and still recovering and it was a timely rest that I needed… 

In the midst of serving God and ministry, I realised few days ago, I lost my joy with the Lord! I was like uh oh… I miss the moments I always enjoyed with Him.. When you felt you’ve lost it all, getting upset about it.. Wondering if daddy God will bring it back once more.. For me that moment, I thought perhaps God just wouldn’t anymore.. But I was on alert mode ; I knew I’ll give stupid answers and I knew I believed in a lie, how would God not answer me to let me enjoy those moments with Him once again.. God just made my day! 

Then I met maggie for lunch, I thank God I got out of the house and went NTUC with her, it’s been a long while since I roamed the supermarket, the feeling feels great, got home, on the mac and finished a design that should have been done last week but I fell sick and I’m happy with it the funky design(: Hope the kids will like it… (:

Design; I was really upset about this, suddenly I felt I’m asking myself is it the way for me… Because I seem to be stuck in a style of design and I got sick of it myself.. But I gotten an answer, if you design it from the heart, the design will be something that you’ll be happy with and it’s a piece to remember. That’s part of design for me.. School Orientation on 31 July.. I slowly await.. I’m so free!!! 

I’ve found the joy I have in the Lord; hope you will find yours… He will answer that if you ask! If not all the rest are probably lies and don’t believe in them.. Find that moment while you and Daddy God enjoy like Him reading to you the stories of the Word.. Enjoy with the Lord ! I am super super happy now! I can’t explain why either! Perhaps it’s because I found Truth.. May you find the truth (:
