Bowling

What does Jacintha and bowling have in common? NOTHING. But anyway I did went and play bowling for the very first time with my youth group. It was outing week for the youths...yeah! After so long, finally we have an outing...WOOHOO!!! The youths of cause were Extremely happy bout it, some even took the opportunity to go shopping, since now Mega Sale is on...

I'm not a heavy shopper, but oh well, the sale banners on every shop are real temptation to me. Coming back to bowling, we went to Pyramid right after main service. What's amazing is people who are not frequent goers for youth service suddenly appeared for this outing. Six of us me, Daniel, Wei Wen, Yi Wen, Kevin, Christine and Pooi San played in the same game. Guess how much does the bowling ball I use weight? 6.... Impressive? This is what my friend Yi Wen told me, ' You roll the ball with both hands and I'll kick the pins down for you' What does that suppose to mean......

I dunno how many times the ball went into the 'longkang', but still I managed to end the game with 33 points...Way to go Jacintha!!! For a first timer, I think it was ok... right?

Support

Just came back from campus today morning. I went for Audio Warfare yesterday. Actually the whole purpose of me being there is to support Lenard’s band that was competing that night. They didn’t won, but it was really a good effort from them. The other good part of me being there is I got to meet Andrew Tan, Yeah the Malaysian Idol finalist Andrew Tan…=) His band ‘Unabashed’ was invited as guest performance and I got to hear him sing live… how cool is that? But I still prefer him singing more mellow songs; rock is so not his thing. There was this other competing band called PG165 from MMU Malacca’s CF. They sang ‘Dare you to move’ by switchfoot and ‘You’re everything to me’ an original Christian song by them. It was totally cool. Normally in a competition like this, who would perform a Christian number. The band took the competition as an opportunity to minister for Christ as well… real cool!!! The best part of all is, they ended up winning third place in the competition….YEAH!!!!

Well, some of my friends didn’t make it pass the audition round of Audio Warfare. However, I'm sure they have given their very best, and that is more than enough...=)

*To you guys who didn’t make it pass the audition round, don’t be discourage.....
Stand back up STRONG and continue running.

It’s not the end yet.

Your passion for music is just great,

so don’t allow failure to be an obstacle for you to move on. I believe in you*

Stress Level Rising

I've been really stress up with all my assignments lately. One assignments I was suppose to build my own personal web page. After done building it, then I have so much problem linking the pages....arrrrgggg..... But thank God everything work out fine...FINALLY!!!! Thanks to some help from David. Feel kind of bad lor, cause yesterday was actually his birthday and I made him repair my work. That's not the worst part, I made his burner spoil....sigh.... dunno issit my disket fault or issit the burners' fault...haha... That's why I feel kind of bad, of all day it happens on his birthday....sigh.... a birthday present from me...hahaha.....

Yesterday we had 'Word Extreme' for youth service. It wasn't a really good one I would say. The lesson was a bit hard to teach. I couldn't really relate the lesson to the youth. It was quite a serious sharing, all eyes looking at me, and I myself being blur,I don't think I managed to teach a convincing and applicable lesson to them. Partly it was my fault also cause I didn't really put much effort into planning it I would say. I was just so busy with my assignments and homework. Planning the lessons was one of the last thing on my 'to do list'. Feel kind of bad for not giving my best to God...sigh..God definately deserves better...sigh

God has proven His faithfulness and provided for me time after time, again and again. He showers me with new mercies and blessings every day.But still I don't know why I have the tendency to worry and lack faith when problems comes my way. I know that He can do wonders in situation but somehow I still worry. Dunno why. Really feel bad to treat God this way. But I know that feeling alone is not enough, I have to do something about it. Yesterday our church received our sovereign status. Really thank God for that. We sang the song 'Great is Thy Faithfulness' and it really reminded me of how God has been so faithful to me. His Hand has really provided much for me. He has always turn bad situations into something that I can give Him glory for. It's really just amazing what God has done for me. The way He still loves me even when I failed to give Him my best.I really think that God deserves much more from me. He deserves my praise, my adoration, my love, my respect,my best, my all......


Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All i have needed Thy Hand had provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me.

Busy!!!!!

Arrrrgggg.... I have been so busy with assignments and all. Don't even have much time for my ownself....too glued to the computer right now.......Arrrgggg..... Good news is, i'm almost done with my assignments, 2 out of 3 is completed....YEAH!!!
What to do, i don't have a computer back in campus, so i have to rush to complete all my assignments at home, during weekends. There goes my weekends...sigh......

Despite it all, God remains FAiThFul...=)

Last week, i was really, really stress out about my design fundamental drawing. We were ask to draw an interior picture and exterior picture that has a good perspective and shows space. So i chose a corridor in the FCM building which i thought had a good angle. However, my picture didn't quite showed space. Was really 'geram' that it didn't. So, on friday when i went for cell group, i asked my cell group members to pray for me for my work not to be rejected by my lecturer. I was a bit stress up then. Then the next day, David (my sister's boyfriend) saw my drawing and told me some changes had to be made here and there. So i changed it until quite late at night. However, it still looked weird...sigh.... and so i decided to bring it to church to ask some real artistic people for help. In church, my friend told me that the drawing should be changed this way and that way, and he actually wanted to redraw the whole thing for me. But he didn't managed to cause we were so busy with team building that sunday. So i brought home the drawing, not much changes done on it. I was feeling really tense up already cause i was suppose to show my lecturer the drawing the next day. I went back to campus that night, and guess what, my roomate actually said that my drawing needed changes here and there.... there goes my stress level. I broke down silently that night, while my roomates sleep. It was just so stressful. I prayed really hard and cried to God. I told God how hard i've work on this drawing, I've given my best, and if it did got rejected by my lecturer, I would be so crush. I did feel better after that. God is always my COMFORTER. Then next morning, which is the day i was suppose to present my work to my lecturer, i decided to go back to the spot where i drew the picture to do some final touch up. Class started.....the lecturer actually asked us one by one to show him our drawing. I didn't really wanted too show him cause i saw that my drawing was a bit different from my other friends. I thought of just leaving the room, redraw a new picture and then only present it to him. However, that didn't happen, and i'm glad it didn't. I took the courage to present it to my lecturer. I was just so nervous while waiting for my turn, not knowing what to expect to come out from his mouth. When i showed him my drawing, he actually said 'Good Job'... that really, really blew my mind. I am so sure that it was God's Hands in the whole situation. It really amazes me how God works. It is always way beyond my imagination. It's just Great, God is just SO GREAT!!!

I just want to encourage you guys who reads this, that you serve a GREAT GOD who can do GREAT THINGS. Most importantly don't forget that there is GREAT POWER in PRAYER, so PRAY!!!

I hope that you are blessed by this testimony...=)

~THank You Jesus for EVeryThing~

~Nicole Nordeman~ I AM

~Nicole Nordeman ~ I AM

I am Pencil marks on a wall, I wasnt always this tall
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed.
You watched my team win, and watched my team lose
Watches when my bicycle went down again.

When I was weak, unable to speak, still I could call you by name
And I said Elbow Healer, Super Hero, come if you can.
You said, I AM.

Only sixteen, life is so mean
What kind of curfews at 10 pm?
You saw my mistakes and watched my heart break
Hears when I said Id never love again

When I was weak, unable to speak, still I could call you by name
And I said Heartache Healer, Secret Keeper, be my best Friend
You said, I AM.

You saw my wear white by pale candle light
I said forever to what lies ahead
Two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream
Too much it might seem when it is at 2 am.

When I am weak, unable to speak still I will call you by name
Oh, Shepard, Savior, Pasture Maker, Hold on to my hand.
You say, I AM.

The winds of change and circumstance
Blow in and all around us
So we find a foothold thats familiar.
And bless the moments that we feel you nearer.

When life had begun, I was woven and spun
You let the angels dance around the throne.
Who can say when, but theyll dance again
When I am free and finally headed home

I will be weak, unable to speak
Still I will call you by name
Creator, Maker, Life Sustainer
Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer
Lord and King, Beginning and End
I AM. I AM
