Haha, my goodness it's been like 2 over months since I last updated my blog? haha.
Seeing the tagboard, I feel the pressure and need to do an update at long last... haha.
Things have been amazing, finally getting past 'BMT'. Playing on the worship team, seeing people getting ministered by the presence of God. It's just simply fulfilling, but yet how many of us know that other than just these mountaintop times with God, all of us also have the times in the valley?
I think that's what really makes the Christian walk exciting. That as a Church, we are going through a different timing. As individuals, we also are going through different season. Looking at the big picture we begin to see how our individuality can actually help serve the church, that as we go through such seasons, it's so that we can help others in the future.
I really learnt that we always need to progress, that we need to keep moving forward. Yesterday's revelation is only good for yesterday. We need a revelation for today, for today my friends.
It's amazing to see how God can open up our eyes to things unseen. God was showing it to me through the story of Moses, where he was asked to remove his sandals when he was at the burning bush meeting God. We all know that he removed it because God said that it was holy ground. But the cool thing is, God showed me that he was asked to remove his shoes so that he will stay focused and not move from the presence of God.
We wear shoes when we need to move, need to do things, places to go, etc. So the removing of his shoes, was significant that God just wanted him not to be bothered about anything else! It really is a reminder for all of us that when we come to God, let us not come with just our prayers and our requests. But let's just really love God!
This weekend's going to be exciting, Pastor Lia's preaching and also Pastor Steve Munsey too. It's going to rock our worlds!

A life as a.....
Haha, i can't sleep man.
Been trying to sleep the past hour, but no avail... So, decided to do some blogging instead. Things have been quite boring in camp, wells, not that I'm unhappy about the 8 - 5, it's just that I want to kinda do something? haha.
So wells, now in camp, all I do is talk to my sgts and some of my fellow man, do my BRP and just walk around in camp.. Wells, it really seems slack doesn't it? Truth is, it is! Haha, wells, but when the month comes to an end, then I start doing work, cause there reports that are needed to be done.
Been doing pretty much administration in the CG which is fun, cause it's really increasing my mental capacity to hold more. But there are still things lacking, so I got to more on that. Also, just been thinking about how to get people connected to the CG more, especially when it comes to the integration. It really is fun doing work on the ground, seeing how their lives change and destinies open up in God.
I'm just waiting for this weekend, there's so much on-going. Martyrs Svc with Pastor Joakim, is going to be a blast! And also heart fest, it's going to be a fun time and the finishing off with an evangelist service. How beautiful a way to end a fun-filled day and ironically, it's valentine's day too!
Bring a friend, it's the festival of salvation this weekend!

A post too late to be posted.....
Reading blogs and just popping around to the many blogs of my friends that I have not visited in the past months.
Things are simply amazing, everyone's growing, in thoughts, in the things they do, everything's just going another level higher. It's just exciting seeing everyone grow and of course, not get left behind in it!
Think this post is a little late, mainly because my mind is more in order, haha. Kinda went through an ordeal mentally few months ago, but wells, God is always good and always faithful.
Was reading the Bible yesterday and something really struck me. God actually plans the way for us, I mean we all hear that often, but yesterday it was a fresh new revelation for me. Because it was stated so clearly in the Bible! Ha.
This year is just striking the ground, doing what we do best, in loving people, in events, in giving God the best years of our lives, in being who we really are. The 'Ethos' of HOGC, in bred in us.
This year's going to be a blast, wells it's said every year, but this year, it's going to be even greater. A mega event's coming soon and that will be super cool. An event where a new wave of secondary school students will come, it's time where we spot ourselves in there.
The times where we were young and God reached out to us, let's do the same for this upcoming Heart 'Fest' '09!

CNY
CNY's kinda ended and wells, this year, it's really quieter than the usual.
Wells, we did have our share of fun, movies, gaming and for some of us, Kbox. It was good as it was a period of them where everyone grew closer and also, more than that, it was a time where we got to know more people too, haha.
Oh yeah, and some of us ended our CNY with the grand finale of walking around orchard, to selegie and to esplanade, haha.
It's also back to work and school for all of us, haha. And I'm pretty sure many of us are still stuck in the holiday mood, for myself, I sure am, ha. But it's time to get our engines running and start working, ha.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to the this weekend's combined service. It's going to be a blast. And after that we've got paintball on Sunday, it's going to be fun, but I'm sure it's going to be tiring, ending with hoarse throats due to shouting and all, haha.
So till another time, "Team, move out!"

On a side note...
Hmmm... Apparently, my blog seems dead, ha. Wells, haven't really been updating it up and also personally, don't have much to update about, ha.
Life's simple now, ha. Wells, it's always been just that we as humans make it complicated for ourselves, haha. So now, it's God, church, drums, people and... work? haha. Having too many other things will just get is pre-occupied with unnecessary stuff.
Oh yeah, been going on face-book alot, ha. So I'm like just adding people whom I've seen in church, haha. And it's quite fun seeing some of the applications they have too, ha.
Drumming.... Man, I seriously missed doing that got the opportunity to play again last weekend and it was great, other than just having the chance to serve God in it. It was just amazing seeing people getting ushered into the presence of God. Think as musicians/ worshippers of God, that is really the more important thing.
Joanne was sharing with O2 that when we play our instruments, it should not just be our skills, that show, but rather, it's our spirituality. And that is more important, because skills can never make up for it.
Lastly, on a side-note, I'll try to blog more often, ha. Kinda lost the momentum to blog like I used to, haha.

Haha, had cohesion today and it was quite crappy.
It was mainly dinner, but for 4 hours!? It was insane, ha.
Anyways, I need to get back to the momentum of working, ha. Haven't really gotten out of the holiday mood after having a long break from work. But I'm glad to get the time off also because it allowed me to work out my drumming and other things too, haha.
I'm looking forward to playing again, and I'm getting my first rehearsal this week! It's really been a while, and though it might not seem much, it's really a great privilege to just be back playing, even if it's just 1 song, it's more than enough.
After 1 year and 3 months, finally I get to be involved in rehearsals again! It's going to be good. Gotta get the touch back!

2009
Ha, haven't blogged in a while, and decided to blog for a bit, ha.
Things have been good, had many things running through my mind recently and I'm just looking forward to the new year.
2008 has pasted and wells, for all of us, let's move on, ha. It doesn't matter how the past year was for you, the most important thing is to pick yourself up and move on. We might have completed some things and maybe some yet to. But let's just put things aside and carry on, start the year new and continue running again!
Pastor Lia preached yesterday and it was simply, amazing. What Pastor Lia shared about our 'Ethos' was a great reminder for many of us who have been in heart of God church, regardless of whether you were in the 'Henderson' years or 'FTMS' years. You are still with us, in heart of God church, and in our 'Ethos'!
Like Pastors shared before, we are still pretty much in the beginning, thus don't feel left out, you are family, one of us and true blue HOGC! Hold fast to your calling, you have a destiny in this House.

God is GOOD!!!!!
God is good!!! At long last after so so long, 8-5 has become reality, haha. It's really exciting, not because of the 8-5 only, but that God's really been present in the situation.
Been praying alot in camp and just 4ding that it'd happen and it really did in the end. God's always faithful eventually. But the cool thing is that through these few weeks, many things have changed, haha.
Through praying and spending time with God, my mind was really opened and receive many new revelations too! Excited and happy beyond words.
Praise be to God

Thought Life
Haha, today was mainly a day at home, but yesterday was a good night. Was at Ivan's place and we went running and did some exercise, which was cool, haha. We were the few jokers who were exercising like... at 2am!? Ha!
Wells, that aside, things have been good. Weekend with Pastor Kong was basically.... mind-blowing, what Pastor Kong shared really changed my mindset and increased my faith. Wells, I've got less than a year left and honestly, I don't really have faith that I'll be able to get an 8 - 5 and be back serving God any time soon. But now, I'm stepping out in faith again, having thoughts and proclaiming that 8 - 5 will be possible!
I realise that our thoughts are really important, that we must always be aware what's the most dominant thing on our mind, because God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above that thought! So what is in your mind? Get it sorted, and I believe you'll see God move in your life like never before! Guess that's why God and Pastors always speak about the renewing of our minds and also having control over in our thought life!
Wells, just wanted to blog it out, actually wrote it down in my journal a long time ago, haha. Wells, thought it'd be good to blog it out too.
Anyways, it's going to be exciting weeks ahead! Let's grow and bring the church to 1,400! And keep growing!

Saw this off the net....
Haha, another post in a day. Was surfing CHC's website and read up about Poh. Wow, was really impacted by it even though it was like.... last week's news, but it was so powerful.
You got to read it yourself to understand why:
http://www.chc.org.sg/citynews/?p=1852
It's really about the heart of serving God, no matter the cost....

Excitement till the year ends
Haha, life's been good. Wells, as usual, it's only the 'work' part which is kinda crappy. Just feel joy recently, wells it's quite hard to explain, but I guess it's just the joy of God.
Been really thinking alot the past few days, even back at 'work'. Wells, the church is really at a season for growth so been really thinking about it on an individual level. Think there's like so much more to grow in, and the year's already ending. Wells, got to go for a final push before the year ends!
I'm still praying for the door to be open, ha. Though I've only less than a year left, still the desire to be back is burning even greater! I miss the days of playing the drums with the team, the days of just being around with church, messing around with people, getting to know newer people in church, being around Pastors and the leaders. So so many things!
Wells, till then, guess it's all about prayer and growth till the door opens, I want to ready when I'm back, so it's back to basics and work? haha. Wells, been really practising my craft and it's really fun just messing around and practicing on the drums, haha.
Yesterday's soccer was fun, wells if you know, I don't really play soccer, but it was really fun, it was a light-hearted session, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I look forward to more soccer games, haha!
I can't wait for the upcoming services, it's going to be a blast! Service with Nick Vujiic was super powerful, like Joanne blogged, he's a man with a big spirit, a person who really knows God intimately and is secured in God. I need to be more like him, how many of you know that though we seem physically able, we sometimes really aren't? It's because it's not about what we have or look on the outside, but what's on our insides that really counts!
It's going to be an exciting Nov and Dec, with the coming growth and the people. 1,400 will happen. Let's carry the burden with Pastors and the leaders!

Seasons (past writings)
Thought of posting this, haha
Seasons
There is a season for everything under the sun
When we move according to God's and the Church's season
We will be succesful and blessed
Thus follow those seasons
Rather than that which your heart desires

Dated: 02 Nov 2008
Haha, it's not going to be another 19 days before I update my blog.
Things have been good. Been really going through a period of soul-searching with God, ha. Wells, it's more like a re-shift of focus again and that it's time to keep progressing in God.
Service was great. Pastor How was sharing with us about the anointing and one the things that really impacted me was actually that the world will see the scars that we have and know and know and know that the God we serve is real.
Think about it, how many youths in Singapore have seen 2 of their friends passed away in front of them due to an accident? We really have gone through much as a church, if only we can see that we really are a different group of people. But like Pastor How shared, we are not better, we are just different.
It's been really a good week, was really seeking God in camp too. And really got what I've been seeking God for and yep, so it's here all over again, ha. I know I say this many times, but yeah, it's the time for us to grow as Christians before we do anything else.
Also, Nick Vujicic and Pastor Kong's up this coming week. It's going to be a blast. We're all going to go up another level again, and with that we're heading to the 1,400 at the end of the year.
Let's go people, just abit more and the year ends. Let's keep going for God.

1 line
Haha, I just thought of blogging 1 line that I read off a book:
God always keeps His word - if we keep the conditions.
Just something for thought, it really kept me thinking and also what we need to do!

Growth
Haha, an entry with the same title of a past entry, but it's really been 1 of the most important words for me this season.
It's really just been a time of growth and focus. A time to implement things in my life and also a time to stop doing somethings in my life. And it's really been great, though of course there are struggles with the new things, but it's all been good.
It's just a great feeling when you really are focused and growing. You feel light, that there's not bothering you and God and that you can just really run fully for Him and do what He already has intended for you. Was talking to Hong Hwee and we realised that we are going through the same thing, and also was talking to Ivan a week back and we are also going through it.
It's really a season of growth, not just in the numbers for the church, but we as Christians need to grow individually. Remember the times where the growth just came? It was because we were focused on God. So let us continue to chase God as we build His church. Let's not be people who labour in vain, because if God builds the house, nothing will be able to pull it down!
So let's continue to grow in God as we do the labour of love that we all so love to do! Growth!

Age....
Ha, 1 year has passed and with that, I've become older too. Many thanks for the greetings, love you guys. To the many years ahead, where Church goes to the thousands! I look forward to receiving greetings from you guys every year!
Anyways, I'll be 'working' on the weekends this week, which is quite crap cause I'm going to miss church... but wells, I'm still too new to take any time off to attend church, so I just got to wait till I become more senior? Haha.
So what does it mean to grow by 1 year? Is it age? Or? Was just spending time with God before the time came and was just praying and asking God for increase. That I would grow to become even more matured spiritually, there's just so much more to learn and to grow in, so many areas that need changing also. Truth is, I feel that I need to grow even more now that I've been a Christian for so long, and that there's really more that I don't know about God also, haha.
Wells, I think it'll sound weird, but isn't it true? We only grow to realise how much we can never comprehend God? I just want to keep growing and seeing where He's going to take me for my remaining year of 'service'.
Grow me and make me. I just want more of You daily, let Your Presence stay with me!

Post It......
Haha, it's been ages since I last blogged and having the chance to finally be back in civilization it's a good time to do some updates.
Wells.. eventually I'm back to doing shift work, meaning that I'll be back in camp tomorrow, crap. But just endure... 1 more year to go and also with the new schedule, hopefully I'll be able to serve God again soon. I can't wait to be back!
Missed out alot last week. Wasn't around to see Ivan, who finally booked out after confinement! I'm looking forward to hanging out with him soon, haha. I guess it's really an HOGC army guy's thing, whenever we book out we head down to church. To enter into the presence of God and God's people. Being around pastors, the leaders and the close friends that you have, just really soothes your soul, haha.
Like Ivan said, we miss all of you! Even in camp, we always think of you. That's why sometimes you get smses from us, and of course the smses that we receive from you guys mean alot too!
And yeah.. fellowship, haha. Been lacking that the past week, though I got to have it yesterday while hanging out the drummers, haha. Just talked and did nonsense, it was a therapeutic session for all of us, haha.
So yep, that's about it for this entry, I'm quite scared about friday. Going to have a grand finale to end our training before we turn ready.... Got to do well or at least pass, my weekend can't be burnt again!

More than Words......
Ha, wrote this in camp after finishing up my journal entry, so thought that I should post this;
"My heart's cry on the inside
Though one may struggle to and fro
But hanging on is the thing to do
No longer are we in control, but
His ways are that we should go.
No longer do we live our lives
But now it's Christ who's on the inside
Though thousands may fall on our sides
He will bring us into His Light.
So keep the faith and that fight
Because he who holds on wins the prize
Many have kept and ran this race
So let us continue to keep the pace
Loving You with all our hearts
As You did, with Your Blood.
The Cross on Calvary was stained
With His blood and price which He has paid"
Yeah, was super inspired after writing it, ha. Wells, that's all for now, maybe another entry in the night, haha

True Worshippers......
It's a good day in the office, ha. Woke up at 7am and watched some drum videos and also finally I could grasp a little bit more of the half time shuffle, ha. But still... I've got a long long way to go.
Anyways, that aside. It's really a great feeling to be in church. I miss the days of being on staff, being around in the office doing work and serving my Pastors. It was just good to have been able to do it even if it's just for 1 day. Like King David said, one day in Your courts, is better than a thousand in the world.
Oh yeah, was talking to Liane just now while I wanted to post and we said that Indonesian's have really powerful worship songs. Wells, if you didn't know, Captivated is from true worshippers, which is from the Church, Jakarta Praise Community Church. They also did songs like, Amazing, Alleluia to Christ and the new song, Hati Hamba which actually means Servant's Heart.
Was just reading through the lyrics while 41st day was doing soundcheck and was already so impacted by it. The lyrics are more than just lyrics, it is really a revelation of one's personal journey with God. It's just super zai la.
Anyways, think that's about it for this entry, I can't wait got service later!

Growth!
Haha, been awhile since I last updated my blog, so here it goes... haha
It's been a tiring week at 'work' ha, cause been doing alot of admin work after having been nominated and chosen as the IC. Wells.. I'm just waiting for a change! But it's been quite relaxed as there's been having alot of free time as the course ends like... next week? Ha, so I'm just waiting to see what's going to happen after this course, ha.
Anyways, I'm in church now, getting the chance to stay overnight, which I have not done in ages, and I'm actually really happy to have had the chance to do so in a very very long time. To be able to serve my Pastors is such a great privilege!
Many things have been in my mind recently, about what's the current season for myself, and it's really just about growth. Wells, like Pastors shared with us before, we as Christians need to be progressive people. We need to be people who are constantly growing and moving on in God and in life. So yep, grow man grow!
It's already September, and in like 3 months, it's going to be December and the year ends, exciting year it has been. And it's just the beginning! I can't wait to see how much more God will be taking us. So to you readers out there, to the many years ahead!
