Prayer Request for a friend

Hi all, there seem to be no posts for the recent week or so..

I didn't came church last week for some reason.. but i'm fine here..

This post is for u guys.. our cg mates.. let us show what Jesus can do! what our miracle worker can do!

My high school friend, i knew him since form 1.. although we were never close, never same class.. but he will always be a friend.. will treat him as a friend.. whenever and wherever.. but his whole life came to a standstill.. on friday.. evening..

Basically, he was in the gym, doing his usual routines.. while he was doing chin ups, he suddenly blackout, and let go of the bar, fell towards the floor. His head hit the steps as the bar was quite high and he need to go up a few steps.. but the worse part was.. his back of his head hit so hard on the floor.. that it drew commotion from the whole gym.. His friends were there as well..

The impact was so hard, it cause a severe internal bleeding. We thought he would be fine.. but he went unconscious for 3 days already. this is the fourth day.. the first scan doctors did for his brain, it was fine.. he was still unawake, doctors removed his blood clot.

However after the scan today.. the news wasn't very good.. but Jesus is doing the impossible right? doctors told that he might be on coma for a while, or he may go home to be with the Lord.. or he will awake paralyze or mentally ill as part of his brain cells are dead. So.. doctors told his parents to prepare for the worse...

Alot of his friends overseas are coming home to visit him today, due to his critical situation, he is still in ICU. he is really in pain... and his mother is praying hard for him.. hoping for a real miracle..

So... please pray for him.. although i dont know him well.. He still is a brother in Christ.. your prayers will definitely help.. appreciate it alot..

His name is Andrew, his age is 20 this year.. and he has a life ahead of him.. I believe he will be a living testimony.. thnx.. will update the situation soon...

sry didnt type it in many colors.. but hope u guys read it.. thnx

God is definitely Good

Grace is the power of believing... and yea.. believing what you want it to happen is crucial. without the proper belief system, we won't be able to achieve what God wants us to be...

but thats not the point.. the main point is i didnt believe..

But.. God was gracious.. he knows what i want, he knows what everyone wants.. am i right? He knows us till the number of our hair.

Today, March 24th.. got my results for 1 mid semester paper and 1 assignment.. I was believing, expecting a really disappointed result because i didn't put in effort for my mid semester paper, and my assignment i just did it during the week..

results came in.. Thank God&Jesus&Holy Spirit! i got 11/15 for Management Accounting Mid Semester.. ok.. 11/15, its not an A technically.. but its good.. because...
1st: I studied like the day before exam...
2nd: The highest marks achieved for this paper was only 14.. so (14-11=3 not bad la)
3rd: Of all the friends i know so far, in college, i'm par with one, the rest i got higher than them.. not bragging.. but this is all Jesus' favor on me..

Second, Assignment, thank God again, 13.67/15 for Business Stats. again, last minute work and all, really thank God that i didn't get 12/11 because i am aiming for an A for this. Hopefully i will get it...

So thank God for this! thank those who keep me in prayer, really appreciate it!

i have a prayer request, just a short prayer, that i will do well for my finals.. which is in 3 weeks time.. Thanks alot.. Just believe that Jesus do for you, it will do wonders! and i believe that everyone here will succeed, just by believing.. not my the works of our own hands.. but by believing.. also have to study.. but cant study forever right..

I have a testimony.

My school had sports events in the stadium last friday( Good Friday). & I participated in the 400m race. I prayed to God for his strength and just told myself to enjoy the race. And praise God!, I got first for that event. Not only that, I broke the 400m school record which hasn't been broken for 7 years. Thank you, Jesus! God sure is goood! :D

Um. Hello there.

It's about time I made a sound, I guess.

For those who know me, it's been a while, hasn't it? I've not done much to keep in touch with you, but in all fairness I've not been keeping in touch with anyone, truth be told. Good to see you again, I'm glad to make known that I'm still alive.

For those who don't know me, I'm Tian An. I've been in the U.S. for over half a year now, before that I spent six months living in Holland. But enough about me, I'm pleased to meet you.

So I have established that I am alive. Some of you may see me on MSN rarely, that's because I rarely am on MSN in the first place. My blog will not tell you much either; and I should expect it to, because I find it a place for me to process my thoughts and to unleash any suppressed creativity. Neither am I very drawn to Facebook, as popular as the social networking site has become. I spend less than a minute there on average. So how can you find me? E-mail is your best bet. But that takes the most effort than say, sending a Facebook message, doesn't it?

Let me be the first to admit that I have not spent much energy trying to stay connected with you. Whether it is for the best that we all continue to live our lives where we are and let alone those old ties we've made, our Lord knows. But what I do know is this: all that matters to me is that you are walking with God still, on my part I assure you I am. I have fallen and stumbled, rejoiced and cried, prayed and kept silent, suffered confusion and experienced revelation; you will not see me a perfect saint (so far am I from being one), but with cheer in my heart, I am still walking with Him, as much as He enables me to.

Have no doubt that I miss you all, and have spoken well of you to our brethren here. I don't know how God has been molding me since the last time we met, but I know that He has taught me things I am still trying to learn, and that His grace tastes a little sweeter than before. He is faithful, and He is good.

I remember the excitement among you when this blog started, and I am still excited for you too. This blog's a good thing. Even better if you dare go deeper and share more of your lives. You've got nothing to lose, we're all family here. Serve, love and pray for one another, and "press on to know the Lord" (Hosea 6:3).

Just keep walking.

Peace,
an

Wow.

I can't believe it.
I'm actually 2nd best in my maths class?
No ways.
And the top is the boy who gets AAs.
Like I said,wow.
And guess what is my strongest point in maths?
FRACTIONS.
Wow again.
I guess I've kinda come a loong way (with God's help,ahaha) from std.3 and getting 50-something (nevertheless,a C) for my year-end maths test.

Thanks ,God!
Weird.I never even asked for help and I got it.
LOL.So blessed!


::Edit::
Wishing you all a...
Happy Easter!*

Wootz~

I just got back my assessment results and i manage to get 4 a's.
I didn't expect 4 a's. I thought i could only get 3 cause i felt like i had no hope on history which was the last paper to be handed out until i saw my marks on it. It was the first time i got really high (maybe for my standard) for history.
Praise the Lord :]
And now i am looking forward for my mid-term.
I pray and hope he will help me to achieve higher and better results.
God bless mark Lee Jay min whose running tomorrow and all the other green hse members.
Go greeen~

Gnite and god bless :D

Blessings.

Helloo! :)

I have lots to thank God for ever since i've been MIA in this blog :)

I dont know how i can possibly list it all here, cos He has certainly been very generous and His hands of protection can be seen ard me so clearly all the time. I really thank Him for that :)

Well, lil things like getting out late frm my apartment and realise i m gona be late for the bus and praying all the way that the bus will be late (haha, ok, bad prayer i know) and reaching the bus stop to find out that the firetruck was at one of the lanes and BLOCKING the bus frm passing, hence i was actually early and one of the first to get in the bus.

Hehe, and things like being in a really wonderful new cg, where my cg leader actually went to e-bay and bidded a heater for me cos he knew i was soooo cold during the summer period (yes, aussie weather is very weird).

Meeting really really great friends over here who're really sincere and very sporting.

And of course! Went for Muiss interview last week (muiss= monash uni international students society) and actually succeeded in it! With his grace and favour upon me ! (Haha, something i would've never thought i would be doing) And hence as one of the committee members of muiss, under activities sumore haha, i actually getta organize stuff that involves the whole of Clayton campus students, and meet ppl frm all the campuses ard monash. Very very fun.

I really really thank Him for His favour, blessings and protecting and also for blessing me with a wonderful bunch of friends whom i know keeps me in their prayer everytime :)

Take care ppl! :) [oh, and alex, u can remove my prayer request now hehe thanks! :D]

Results

Hey all.

Got my A-Levels results today. First of all, I wanna thank God for His peace throughout the whole time. I was supposed to get my results on Friday. Then it got postponed to today(Monday). All my friends were in constant nervous mode and having panic attacks, can't sleep etc etc... But I didn't feel a thing at all. Up to the very moment I finally receive my results.

And the results were quite bad. But I'm taking it as a lesson learnt and working harder the next round. And surprisingly for literature which is my hardest subject, I'm on my way to get an A. I have another 3 or 4 units to take but it seems like that subject is going to give me my much needed A. Thank God for that.

So yeah, you know how Pastor says when you're in trouble or facing problems, it's the hardest time to just praise Him and thank Him for the things you have now? Well, this is hard for me but I'm learning to look at the good and not the bad. The past weeks, I've been seeing God's hands everywhere and it's wonderful. I'll share about it later when it's the right time. But yes, thank you God for the peace, the acceptance, the one unexpected A and everything else. (:

For the first time!

For the first time my father praised Christianity. I'm so glad and happy to hear that and give all glory to God. Typically, my father will be the one front stabbing and insulting Christianity. But miracle happened today!
