| I realised that I’ve been subconsciously deliberately making choices to make each day count. Thank u for a blessed day of fellowship. I woke up early like it was any other day and was able to spend some time with my ever-enduring Friend. It gave me the energy I needed for this weekend, it helped set my heart right. I knew with so many tasks on-hand I can easily fall into the performance trap or being task oriented when the priority is to love His people & facilitate bonding among the girls.
Thank u so much for what U deposited into my heart. I would not be able to feel & do what I do today without the love U planted in my heart for Ur people. I love pouring out all that U’ve blessed me with & taught me & see others grow into confident man & woman of Urs. My prayer is for this connect group to be a vessel of Urs to build bridges with the many who have yet to know U. Its my prayer that every single individual man & woman, through fellowship & time in this connect group will grow to be confident in who they are, to have their hearts & spirit unlock & claim that which U’ve paid the price for 2000 years ago, that which rightfully belong to them.
I thank U for this privilege to shepherd Ur sheep, each day Lord, give me eyes to see the way U see each of them, to love them the way U love them, to see the shining jewel beneath the surface, to encourage, to build each of them up to be Proverbs 31 woman & might warrior of Urs. In all that I try to teach or impart, Holy Spirit I pray that U go before me.
It was kind of hard to explain why I chose to bless my connect group by spending money on mussels and king prawns. It was funny how one of them commented about me sponsoring the group with food. Lord, show them, use me to show them that U are their provider, not their job, not their parents, but U. I’m committed & convicted of upholding the spirit of excellence, hospitality, generosity & extravagance not only in the form of worship on the platform, but worship through the way I live my life. I’m committed to Edge’s vision & spirit & as a leader to be a carrier of that which U’ve birthed in the hearts of my leaders.
While writing all these, I guess I am very disturbed by something, it kind of whacked me in the face. Perhaps I was too sensitive. But Lord, I claim and hold dearly to Ur Word that acts as a balm to my soul, that lifts my eyes, that gives me hope, that breathes life into me ,
‘You’re going to take over whole nations; you’re going to resettle abandoned cities. Don’t be afraid – you’re not going to be embarrassed. Don’t hold back – you’re not going to come up short. You’ll forget all about the humiliations of your youth, and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory. For your Maker is your bridegroom, his name, God-of-the-Angel-Armies!
Lord, U know my priorities, U know my desires, struggles, motives, my coming & going. I can hide nothing from U. Search my heart Lord & remove anything that stands in the way between U & me & anything that does not reflect or serves as a good testimony to all around me. I am committed to living a life of a worshipper, to live a life devoted to U, a heart surrendered & conscreated that only U will take centre stage. U are my God who reigns in every area of my life. My heart and life is Urs, to do as U please. I was drowning and shattered but U reached out, pulled me out from the mud & set my feet on solid ground. I am Urs. Each day my decision is to give u my 100% and more because U deserve it, because U are God. Jesus, align my perspective with Urs, that when I minister from the platform tomorrow, it would come out from a heart that is not filled with doubts brought about by the conversation tonight, but from a heart of a woman who is gird with strength, whose confidence comes from U. I desire for Ur glory, for more & more of U in my life, in Ur house, that not one individual who walk into church tomorrow will leave without being touched by U. Let Ur glory fall in Your house, all over the nation as Ur people gather to worship U. “Save Australia, pour Ur Spirit out, send revival to this land”. I know Ur favour & hand is moving powerfully in this nation, Lord, give us the nations, give us the nations.
Lord, let Ur Spirit fall, have Ur way in the service tomorrow, in connect group, let miracles take place right in the service, healing, restoration, bareness broken, divine friendships & appointments take place, bondages broken, pour Ur spirit Lord, pour Ur spirit.

| Oh no, I wouldn’t have time to complete my report due on Friday!
I’ve been putting extra effort at work, more concentration, trying to raise productivity.
Sigh, can’t go gym during lunch today! Stupid meetings.
Spent lunch time taking minutes from 12-4 pm, started work at 8 & finish at 5.30 pm!
It looks like I will not have much of a lunch break today either since we are having a phone conference from 12.45 – 1.45. Manz, right smack in the middle of lunch time.
I want to go to the gym!
Should I go for leadership meeting tonight? Should I go to choir tonight?
Competing priorities… Hm…
Kim is here & I would love to spend as much time as possible with her
Debbie’s birthday is on Friday & I won’t be around, so the only time available will be dinner tomorrow.
Oh no, and I’ve not packed my luggage for Sydney!
Sleep less?, hm, not any option, I am already sleeping much lesser than my norm hours, but any further reduction will not do me any good during the conference.
In the midst of all the busyness, I find it hard to prepare my heart & mind to be ready for conference.
It’s not good. Teach me to be a good & wise steward of time Lord, to know what is more important. Learning to be accountable & responsible can be non-beneficial in times like these, where if I don’t go for creative ministry or leadership I will feel really bad, cos I know that the reasons I have are not valid. And I realise in such times, I lost patience & develop a can’t be bothered to make time or take time to explain things, to be gentle & patient, hang out with mere acquaintances or even to catch up!
Hm, should I go to the worship or leadership stream?
Ok, back to work…
Applying spirit of excellence to every minute of the day…. | | |
| I'm back online!
Praise the Lord for my MacBook!
I'm luuuvvvving it!!
But I'm still trying to find my way around
Colours & pictures are so much clearer & brighter
It's no wonder those who have it rave on & on, attempting to recruit more into the Mac family.
The really cool thing is I get to record & thus improve on my singing!
Half an hour of free trial personal training session has left my body aching.
Looks like the regular cardio exercises were not exactly working
I'm so tempted to get a personal trainer
But well well, all will have to wait till one day I get to earn more money.
I'm leaving for Hillsong this Friday! Yipeee! I'm finally getting to go on a break I've been desperately yearning for. I'm soo looking forward to getting to know Mey & Sarah better! Free accomodation in England in the future would be part of the package too I guess. Haha. Hm, my friendship with Mey, i would say it's probably some sort like me & Kim, how she just felt she had to call me to go for camp etc & a friendship was built.
I thank for the ability to bless though the pocket hurts. I thank God for being my provider & I will never lack.
Prepare my heart Lord as Hillsong draws near. Every year, something significant happens, lifting me to the next level with U. I'm expecting no less this year & I'm all ready to throw myself into every session 100% even if i'm physically tired or a speaker's voice might be monotonous. I need to have more love for people to be able to be a good connect group leader. A love & passion for people that only U can give. I need to exercise wisdom, extent grace, be patient & gain understanding.
There is a time to play, a time to slog, a time to grief, a time to stand tall & push forward. Seize every opportunity that comes along the way, make every day count. Teach me to be an even better steward in the time & money you've placed in my hand that I do not just doddle around & letting the minutes run. Let me never repeat the mistakes I make & not take Ur mercy foregranted. Teach me when to be silent even when I see things going wrong & others going round & round in circles, digging holes to walk into consequently being crushed & broken.
I thank God for the many friends who you've placed in my life to act as examples, who reflect U. Thank you for the many who I don't really know well, but it's cool that they are around my age. I've been wishing there would be friends I can do life with, who are kind of the same level & sitting under the same teaching, with stronger ability to prioritise & with passion & eyes fixated on U more than mine. | | |

Your true color is Brown!
What's Your True Color?
You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

| Yeah!! I've booked my tickets to Sydney for Hills Conference! I'm sooo looking forward to a break. I havent had one since last September, if you would consider a 1 week trip home as a holiday. All the recent public holidays have been filled with meetings etc that I find myself desperate for zone out time & to be able to wake up with no agenda for the day.
Edge Church will be recording our live album next Sunday, & an exclusive recording with the Youth cum Young Adult ministry on Friday! We've been practicing really hard for it, sacrificing Saturdays & more weeknights.
I hope soon enough I will be able to return to less hetic weeks. Well, not that I don't like what I'm doing or really mind running about, but I'm just so exhausted.
Every Wednesday night will now be spent alternating between Accelerate & leadership meeting/training. We're going to start 3 international students connect group too!
For the first time last Sunday, I was rostered as a backup vocalist! Yeah! Thank God for the awesome privilege to sing week after week, & though i like being a backup vocalist cos it gives me more room to move, but more than anything, each service, i wish God would use me to challenge & encourage people to draw closer to Him in praise & worship. Once again, on Sunday, God encouraged me through compliments received by 3 individuals and many more passing comments. I'm glad through the way I praise & worship, cause people to be uncomfortable & realise that God deserve so much more praise & to step out of their comfort zones & offer extravagant worship to our King!
I read through my 2005 journal & realised that there were a few stuff which I've pen, have come true, some of which, sad to say, i had taken foregranted that I didn't even recall it was a dream/desire which I submitted to my Heavenly Father. Thank God He has super memory & is a dream giver & dream fulfiller! | | |
