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!

Prayer request

Hey, Jmin here.

Well Next Tuesday's my school's high jump competition.
I need the rest & energy for my legs.

Please keep me in your prayers. My legs need enough rest to prepare for the competition. & also the energy, coz I'm gonna try breaking the school's high jump record so I really really need your prayers...

Go green house members!

Thanks so much guys! :)
God bless~

Pei Wen!! We will always think of you..

i found this funny pic of pei wen which i took after youth service at dream cafe... enjoy! haha

Blessings, one after another

I really thank God for blessing me with so much! Yesterday I went out with a bunch of friends and had quite some wonderful time together. =)

I also thank God for today for I met two new friends! One which is a 21 years old guy and a 13 years old girl, who is very adorable (speech wise).

I also felt so blessed when I saw the appearance of my lecturer in the church! I mean, how often can you see your lecturer in church? (unless he/she is your church mate =P) She was visiting today, and she saw me when I was usher-ing! I believed this is destined by God! why? because normally I don't go for 2nd service unless I have usher duty, and so happened she came to visit my church today! the day when I was usher-ing. And I got praised by my lecturer's friends when I was sort of helping out in the way ministry =P hahaha so happy =P (I'm praise deprived =P)

Then another sister also blessed with RM15 Ang Pow money! Yeah! So blessed, Thank you Lord!

Swollen foot?

No one has been posting anything here for a long time. Haha.

Anyways I got a testimony to share. Yesterday in college, I fell while trying to catch the bus. Yes, very embarrasing moment. Good thing not many people saw. Haha. Anyway, I dunno how but I burst a few blood vessels in my foot when I fell so when I got home I could no longer walk. My foot was all swollen and blue-black.

But praise the Lord cos I got my miracle! From not being able to walk AT ALL, I am able to this morning. It's still painful but at least I can move around on my own now. Wheeeee! God is good! Haha.

So see you people this weekend! And why isn't anyone posting anymore? Lol.

oh btw, just to let you that the Klang youth CG is starting tonight. (:

cousin's well being

Praise Jesus! my cousin's dengue fever have come to past and will not haunt her again. she is completely healed although there was a time where she got a very high fever at 110 degrees Fahrenheits. She is totally fine.. and back to her normal life.. She thank everyone for the prayers.

so.. Praise God for performing this miracle not because of our efforts in praying, but because God is kind and just enough to perform this miracle because she believes she is a child of God and Christ has died for her sins from the cross.

Thanks again.. Warm regards

Just wanna wish you all a

blessed chinese new year.

God bless ya'll with grreeeeat abundance and prosperity :]

Remember those days? that you and Pei Wen:
Laughed together,
Cried together,
Smiled together,
had fun together,
chatted together,
did silly stuffs together,

or maybe you have never encounter any of the above, but we will never forget Pei Wen.
Simply because she's Pei Wen, a blessed daughter of most high.

Personally, thank you for buying the Karpersky's Anti-virus CD for me, I was so touched that day, you're the first person who bought something for me and sent it to my house, stupid it might seems, but it was really touching.

Goodbye Pei Wen.

It wasn't really such an accident but it kinda was...

As in,unexpected.

Wow.My hands ache so much I can't type properly.

As Weng would say,Aish.

Oh!
Speaking of which,I gathered lots of quotes from various people yesterday at Pei Wen's party.
Don't be surprised if they're not funny.They just...were.
To me

"Wow,it's a ten-string guitar."
Aaron

"You and your Percy Jackson."
Weng Soon

"Yamseng?But that's cheers,right?"
Mei Yii

"Angelyn,come here.Come and read my mind."
Alex

We played a PS2 dance game (read:Aaron and Alex) but they both gave up and left us to try our hand (literally)at it(read:Me,Jane,Weng Soon and Sybil).And so we played.With our hands.Hahas!And we made lots of noise(read:splat,splat,splat.).And when I got frustrated I would bang my hands hard the sensor on the dance mat (read:SPLAT!SPLAT!SPLAT!SPLAT!!)And so...it was fun.

Noooo, don't go...........

PEI WEN IS LEAVING!!!!!!!CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??

Pei wen, because you are leaving, maybe you should belanja us...again. No lar, haha. I just came back from her house, hoho~ for those who wasn't there, or not even in the country, you just missed the once-in-a-life-time kind of experience...( except the part i had tummy upset >8( )

The games, food and even the piano ( err...). The food was just sinfully, professionally, skillfully, wonderfully made by her mom with the help of their kakak ( dunno wether peiwen helped out anot, aih) And it was amazingly, unexpectedly, wonderfully, luxuriously, delectably, lusciously, delightfully, scrumptiously, yummy-ly, er, deliciously delicious! Ist is beyond description, im serious. Dunno wether Aaron enjoyed anot ( you and your high standard-ness) The tummy upset thing is another thing ok?

The game, the dancing game... I can play only the fast songs, the slow ones fail, because of over-excitedness...But most importantly, i thank God i enjoyed it and I will definitely miss pei wen alot.....T_T Why???

Fallen From Grace: A Bible Study of Galations 5:1-6

Scary title. But this phrase has been thrown about in the Christian circle, and has discouraged many believers. So let's do a little Bible study to clear the air.

First and foremost, when a person sins, he/she does not fall from grace, contrary to what many people believe. In fact, when a person sins, he/she falls into grace. So let's study in depth the scripture in which this phrase was derived from.

Galations 5:1 - 6

1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

New King James Version

Verse 1

Paul clearly states that Christ Himself has set as free. But free from what? The preceding verses offers some insight. After all, the verse starts with "therefore", and whenever you see a "therefore", we must find out why it's there for.

In a nutshell, the preceding verses speak of Isaac, the child promised to Abraham by God, and also of the "bondwoman and her son". This refers to Hagar and Ishmael, born also to Abraham but not in line with the promise of God. In short, Hagar and Ishmael speaks of Abraham's works, his efforts in attempting to bring forth God's promise with his own hands. God clearly does not want this "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman." (Genesis 21:10).

What does this mean? It means that God wants us (His children and heirs to His promise) to not depend on our own efforts (that doesn't mean that we don't work... we just don't depend on our works), but to lean back and depend fully on His wondrous grace.

Also the "yoke of bondage" in which Paul warns us not to get entangled in is not sin. But rather, attempting to justify our righteousness by the law.

Verse 2

This circumcision that Paul speaks of is, of course, not physical. But rather, this circumcision refers again attempting to uphold God's commandments, thinking that in doing so we will be made righteous. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Paul says if you do so, then Christ will profit you nothing (in some translations: Christ will be of no effect to you).

It makes sense. We can only either be justified by our works or justified by Christ. The Bible says that no man can have two masters. The moment we depend on our works to make us righteous, then the works of Christ can no longer take effect in our lives.

Verse 3

Again Paul repeats this for emphasis. But more than that, he reminds the congretation that those who aspire to be justified by law have to keep the full law. Every single whit. Remember that God's standards are no less than perfection.

Verse 4

And now we come to the verse in which the phrase "fallen from grace" is found. Notice I highlighted "you who attempt to be justified by law". This clearly means that it is not sin that makes us fall from grace. If not, the verse would have said "you who have broken the law".

Verse 5 & 6

The key is revealed here. "faith working through love". Without love, there cannot be faith. But what is this love that we speak of? Our love for God? There can be two readings to this verse. The first - God is love. Therefore "faith working through God". The second - and this is beautiful - it's faith working through God's unconditional love for us, that while we were yet sinners, Christ came. Amazing!

"In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." (1 John 4:10)

Reflections

So rejoice and bask in His unconditional, undeserved love for you. The experiences that Mei Yii and Angelyn have gone through are beautiful examples of the love of God working in their lives. And this love is for every one, so long as they reach out for it.

I liked what Mei Yii said "But you cannot... cannot ever deny that being in love with God gives the deepest sense of inner peace", and that is so true. Once you experience the love, you don't have to worry about what other say about you or your church or your pastor or your friends. Why? Because what they say don't matter any more, because you've had just received a fresh one on one revelation of His wondrous love.

God bless the your week ahead richly :)

In His love and mine,
Eddie G.
