Rainbow of Promises
Sunday, December 27, 2009
Yesterday, as I walked passed the MRT control station at Expo, I saw a rainbow reflected on the floor.
How many people will slow down their pace and take a look at this sight?
None...
But I slow myself down and looked at it.
A smile came upon me.
This is the promise between the Lord and I that all I ever think or imagine, He will add upon me.
And today as I looked through my blog design, it is rainbow, the promise between the Lord and I...
Thank God for always reminding me of all His promises.
And I know, 2010, will be a year of greater breakthrough! =)

Focus Back to GOD's Promises
Over the past few weeks, has been knowing people... Hearing many stuffs and having people telling me that I got great potential to do this and that, or what should I do for this and that...
Like usual, voices of people trying to lead me to make the so called right decisions.
But I decided, no one, I SAY AGAIN... NO ONE, beside GOD, can determine where I should go.
I made a decision, and my focus will always be to God.
What if I never work with this and that person?
What if I never make this decision?
I has been sharing here and there with some people about what others have approached me about.
Some with flakiness, some with a heart of truly wanting to help me fulfil my vision.
But the end of the day, this life that I live in is not just about vision but people.
People-orientated.
I might be a very vision-orientated person in the past, but right now, before vision is people.
When people become my focus, God will bring me into my vision.
I truly believe... And end off, I stopped thinking and FOCUSING!
Those that heard a little from me, like I said, I prayed and will continue to pray...

A conviction!
Tonight had a explaination to Chloe that caused me to be awaken when I suppose to sleep.
Was sharing with her some stuffs and ended up telling her the actual date of my vow...
To many who knew me, I actually share with them a little about my desire to have a vow until SOT 2009 ended cause 3 years ago I planned to come to SOT 2009 since I would like to earn for the school fees, but... in between, because of the encounters and desire to focus and train myself to be a better person, I actually set that actual date somewhere later as I felt in my heart when is the better date.
Today, whoever that met me, I will just shared with them the 1st half of the story.
Not because I wanna to hide it. But ever since last year, I felt that I shouldn't share about the actual date.
I don't want to face the same problems I faced so many times over the past 4 years.
As I was sharing with Chloe, I was pouring out the full story and the conviction that I had.
I got doubted by people before when I shared about it and my conviction.
And today, after so many months, I decided to share with Chloe also beside sharing it with Leslie.
I still strongly believe that my timer in my blog showed what I believed it.
I don't put it for nothing.
I put it because it is a reminded of my conviction.
I fought for it, I rejected others for it, and I even goes against people to keep it.
A conviction is a conviction.
I will never forget the experiences I went through to fight for it.
Even until today, my heart is still strongly believe in it or else I won't be telling people that I don't think I will get committed to another person before that date.
The heart know it better when is the time.
And to Chloe who asked me what is my definition of a vow, all I told her is... I did try to extend it last year so that I can accompany my friend who will be ending her vow 5 months later than mine, but after a talk with my ex-CGL and prayed, I also feel that it is silly to do it.
So in the end, I never did this funny thing.
But I won't deny that I will still celebrate with my friend when she ended her.
I still remember the looks that many gave to me because I told them I wanna get attached on my birthday, and where on earth can I do that when I ending it like the day before? By miracle? By conviction?
I do know God answered prayers, so I just pray...
And still, a conviction is a conviction.
When it is finished, I can share with people that I did keep this promise and I am happy to keep it.
My countdown timer is still counting the days of fulfilling of this promise.
Now, what is your definition of a conviction?Labels: Promise

Remembering the Promises of God
Today Pastor Kong talked about Sri Lanka.
Seeing the photo, reminded me of what made me wanted to go for the trip.
I wouldn't forget all the encouragement way back in my younger days.
When my ex-ZS encouraged me to believe that I can be sponsored and used my license to make a difference.
4 years down the road, because of Yi Lun, I made it through and this is just a beginning.
Thanks Pastor Kenneth for the opportunity too.
And I shared my testimony for the Sri Lanka trip for our LYL services last sat, for the Jurong 3.30pm service at Chinese Church Hall and for last sun, Expo service at 12pm at Conference Room 1.
God has really been good.
He has provided for my needs in this season and I met a couple of people who saw the photo from the mission trip. One of them, my fellow SOT classmate told me that she heard about what I went through previously from our common friend from the fellow zone and we had a great time talking.
I really thank God for keep on staying for me in this season.
He is faithful and trustable.
Because of Him, I can be at where I am.
In the midst of all, God also deal with me in various areas and bring me further with Him.
In my whole life, I had never see rainbows as many times as this season.
The 1st time I saw it was when my great grandma passed away. I never knew her but I knew many unknown relatives through her funeral. I wasn't saved yet but who knows, 4 years later, I was saved and walking with Jesus.
The 2nd time I saw it was after service, when I was still doubtful about my decision to fight for the ministry I want to go for. It was a decision after 3 confirmations and after which, God opened many doorways for me to meet various leaders that ultimately brought me into the ministry.
The 3rd time I saw it was the 1st day of the Sri Lanka trip. Pastor Kenneth told us that the Abraham's promise is here and God is with us and we leave the hotel room in the middle of the night, praying for the journey. Even with cope up, we prayed it through and made it safely to our destination.
God is faithful and truth.
In Him, there is no worries.
Once again, my faith is stirred up.
God has brought me this far.
It is not about my age that matters.
I has enough people that told me that 21 is such a young age and I got a long way to go.
And I believe I going to walk a long way till I finish my purpose for this generation.
Jer 1:4-11
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
5 “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I:
“ Ah, Lord GOD!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the LORD said to me:
“ Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me:
“ Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”
This is just the beginning and I will continue to walk in faith according to His promises. =DLabels: Promise
