有时劳苦和重担压着你的心头叫你每一步都沉重
当你伤心的泪水流不停的时候你要相信主都知透将面具完全卸下敞开心灵深处最真的你打开心里最黑暗的角落让耶稣照亮使你得自由就算你有诉不尽的痛耶稣是你安慰祂医治所有伤痛有时劳苦和重担压着你的心头，叫你每一步都沉重当你伤心的泪水流不停的时候，你要相信主都知透
耶稣陪你走，在祂没有医不好的伤口
打开心里作黑暗的角落，让耶稣照亮使你的自由
就算你有诉不尽得痛，耶稣是你安慰
祂医治所有伤痛.

so lifestring makes another trip up to the north, JB for another session of serving. this time, we are guest of a chinese christian song writing competition. guess what, lifestring was inspired by such a competition as well so i guess it was pretty sweet reminiscence for the 3 seniors who have been with lifestring for the past 21 yrs.. i shall not reveal their age but hahaha seriously, they have done an amazing amazing job, God have blessed them so much much through this long long and tough tough journey. it is seriously no walk in the park serving in this ministry. it is no longer part of our church a long long time ago, we are an independent organisation.
when we were there at about 1630 doing our rehearsals, it was very obvious to us that the acoustics and the sound system was really 'not there'. but still it is never a stumbling block for lifestring, for who can be against us when God is with us. Amen!
i tell you, i've never been to a song writing competition and what i saw tonight, filled me with so many different emotions and thankfulness. there were 2 groups of contestants, the open category and the young people.
the young people category consist of people of probably 16-25? i'm really not sure. but what i'm sure of is, they have a huge huge potential. the songs they compose, the lyrics that go with it, it really make me so guilty so guilty, what have you been doing addison? what have you been up to people? is your heart a willing heart for God to use you? to use the talents and gifts that he has blessed you with? after all, it all originate from God, the all Almighty One Himself. one day, it might just be taken away from you.
the songs they composed were not perfect but still, strictly speaking, for a eg, 20yr old to have done what they have done, it is really All praise to God.
i really hope this just not just end here for them, that they did not just compose a song or a few songs for this competition. but i pray for the passion to write songs for Christ would continue to burn in them, the passion to spread God's word through music would continue to dwell in their hearts and be like lifestring, or like many other missionaries out there, who never gave up no matter what obstacles they felt never give up no matter if you are at a stagnant stage but keep fighting, keep fighting, if your heart is right, if your focus is right, God will make a way, just as He has promised.
You may not serve in the ministry that i've just mentioned about, you may not be talented in anyway, you may even be physically burdened but trust in the Lord your God, keep your heart open to want to serve in His Kingdom and you'll be amazed at how He will make a way... :)
the winner of tonights' competition?
Our Lord God Almighty

so many 'things' have happened recently.
sadness anger anxiety
i broke down while on the phone with the girlfriend
tears have not flowed so freely for a long time
but i'm glad i cried these tears
to sum it all up, don't ask God to wait for you, it would be your greatest regret, ever.

Horrified by many profanities in matinee show on NS life
I ATTENDED the matinee show Own Time Own Target at the Drama Centre in the National Library building over the weekend. One magazine lauded it as a 'laugh out loud, rediscovery of zany side of national service'. I presumed this meant it was a family-type show and took my two teenage sons, aged 16 and 14, to the show on the premise of a MediaCorp-owned magazine review.
To my horror, I was cringing uncomfortably in my seat the whole show, highly disturbed by the language used. I do not have a problem that the language was coarse and in dialects. But it was offensive when every sentence and curse uttered by the officers (rightly or wrongly, provoked or otherwise) at the NS boys in the drama was a profanity of the female genitals.
The show was a full house, with young and old, males and females equally represented. I am sure I was not the only one who was disturbed by the excessive cursing and swearing by the officers at the recruits. My observation was that people laughed out loud not at the clumsiness of the recruits but mostly because they felt uncomfortable with the profanities.
As a mother, I find it hard to imagine that after years of sheltered school life where students are taught values, to be gentlemanly and polite and respect their elders, these boys have to do NS run by officers who do not blink an eye when they curse their mother, sister, girlfriend and the whole female population by way of conversation.
My boys were shocked to realise that NS is a rite of passage where they will be officially subjected to bullying, shouting and cursing - nothing gentlemanly at all.
If this is a light-hearted look at life of NS boys during basic military training, I fear to know what my boys will face in their real-life situation when they enlist. Please, someone, assure me this is not so.

i saw this on the ST forum. Not that i'm supportive of the authorities using those obscenities but if you really can't take it and so do your sons, take them out of this country man, leave...if there is a time when we need to take up arms to defend this country i'm sure no officer or soldier would want such a man around him.

long time since i've blogged.
oh well some updates, i'm out of army, since 24th of april 2009
it was a long journey, met many ppl some stayed some left but the memories would always be there.
there were good memories and also the not so nice once but i choose to rmb them all because these are stories for the later part of life, stories that i would want to share with my children.
forgiveness...i've never never ever imagined it to be so difficult to handle. so difficult to forgive. it makes me so scared and send shivers down my spine when i think about it sometimes.
but i know that's you 'mr evil' trying to pull me away from my heavenly Father. i would keep praying about it. i want to be able to forgive one day from the bottom of my heart and not just on the outside and in my speech. and i know and strongly believe that i would, because God is my hope, my life, my sustainer, my everything. and all of me is his because that's where i came from.
recently lifestrings have been facing a prob about the lack of members and our practice timing and also our busy schedule later towards the end of the year. i really pray for God's hands to be in all this. i pray for his intervene and we be able to open our 'eyes' and be more sensitive to his blessings and grace which are so much so much that sometimes it just totally humbles us.i thank God that i've entered this ministry. until he calls me away to else where, there is no way i'll leave this ministry. and i'm preparing myself to enter another ministry in church next year. especially when the girlfriend goes away to aussie i wana use the time that was for her for God. i want God to work in me, to prepare me to let me be the man that he wants me to be for the next stage of life.
its work day tmr! haha to gan eng seng pri ! i hope the kids would learn well from the class tmr.
645am i have to be there, that is one wake up timing which i have not woke up to for a long long time.... lol!!!
i miss the girlfriend! her name is tan qin qin julyn! she is away in japan. i really hope no one bullies her and she returns safely.
there are some songs which i like to share but its really late already i'll probably type it out tmr when i'm back from the lessons...
if you're reading this! :)
thanks for paying this dying blog a visit although you've been disappointed so many times when you came :) thanks for reading! maybe you can jus leave a comment cos i'm too lazy to set up the tag board once more hahahaha :) God Loves U! He really does:) gd nite!
