YESssss!!! I know how to cycle liao!! Haha after a 2 days of training i can finally get the grasp of cycling. Although still not very stable, it is a great improvement compared to last sunday- it was totally dreadful! Now at least i can cycle straight, still have a bit of problems in turning though..
I have met my mid term goal too!



¹² "Even now," declares the LORD,
"return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning."

¹³ Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the LORD your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.

¹⁴ Who knows? He may turn and have pity
and leave behind a blessing—
grain offerings and drink offerings
for the LORD your God.

¹⁵ Blow the trumpet in Zion,
declare a holy fast,
call a sacred assembly.

¹⁶ Gather the people,
consecrate the assembly;
bring together the elders,
gather the children,
those nursing at the breast.
Let the bridegroom leave his room
and the bride her chamber.

¹⁷ Let the priests, who minister before the LORD,
weep between the temple porch and the altar.
Let them say, "Spare your people, O LORD.
Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,
a byword among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
'Where is their God?' "

God really spoke to me this week in this verse Joel 2:12-17, to repent and to submit to Him. I admit tat there are some areas of my life not live biblically and can be a stumbling block to ppl. This verse is like shouting at me telling me to repent now not later. Pastor Michael gave a good analogy today: He was asking 2 person to use a bat to beat him. A said tat he cannot do it because he is afraid of going to jail. However B said tat he cannot do it, because he love him. Its the 2 different mindset but ultimately thier actions are righteous. Its like repentance, would u repent because u love Jesus and Love His ppl? Or would u repent because u scared of the consequences? Either motivation is good but let Love be ur motivation instead of fear!

Break!!

Wahahaha this week is gonna be more block leaves!!! Finally after so long!!! The past 2 mths has been quite hectic though in camp. Alot of happenings also good and bad, but alright God really brought me thru =)

Now for my block leaves, i seriously dun have any plans though... Haha if theres no plans guess i just stay at home, suft net watch anime lol. Just addicted to reading Bleach manga, after reading one chapter, I feel like reading the next chapter again..

Ok aside from doing some random things, i be meeting some of my sheep also who stayed out. Yea I just become a shepherd so i need time to get to know them better. Yup, jiayou to me cox its a another phase of my Spiritual life. Its been quite some time since i last took care of ppl le, by God's grace, i hope this time round i can be a better shepherd yea.

Man Utd reigns

Glory to Manchester United who defeat Spurs by penalties with a score of 4-1!!!!

This season is indeed one of the best season Man Utd has have so far. They are in it for a quintuple, a feat which was not done by any clubs so far. Now the league cup and club world cup is down, whats left is FA cup, Champions League and last but not least, English Premier League. Its definitely not going to be easy but hey this season the squad has strength in depth too. No longer they need to rely solely on the first team players to delivers, the recent results from league proves that the youngsters are reliable replacements. Yea strive on Man Utd!

Water Baptism

On the 1st March 2009, Shem has died and the new Shem has rose again!

For all u guys information, no im not talking nonsense nor am i crazy. I have 'died' today and rose from my watery grave. Yup, i was water baptized today!

Personally its really a big decision to make in my life! Water baptism signifies that u are willing to follow Jesus till the very end and I having doubts whether i can do that though. After much considerations, yea i make this choice to go for it.

In the water, time seems to stop. I feel as if i been inside for a long time even though its only been a short while. I still rem the prophecy one of the facilitator gave me, to prepare for more challenges ahead because God wants to mold me and build up my character. Like pure gold which do not scare of fire, God will tests me so as to build me up and prune me. ( i really hope i can continue to trust in Your words and hope that in tough times comes i will still follow after God).



I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus x2
No turning back, no turning back.
