the post about FOP

I went to my first F O P in the last 6-7 years after following Christ. While I think F O P is a great event, I have much more reservations about the hype of the groups invited...

D e l i r i o u s is great though.. so much in the spirit...

Nevertheless - its the spirit of God that will move and convict hearts, above the music, above the hype.
But the fellowship of just hanging out with the bunch of bros & sisters was the most rewarding out of this trip. Maybe God answered a nagging question I had earlier in the day...

The simplest word of prayer or song of praise, faith, and repentance probably pleases God...

Starting work at a new place on 10th Aug. I dont know if I rested enough. Imagine i'm blogging at 3am. I'm scared. In fact I think Im scared of many things. Now, I just want to rest in the Lord, and let His will be done...

Dad's on i n s u l i n jabs now. Seems like his liver was unable to process the nutrients he takes in and eventually passes everything out. I'm worried, though I dont show it to him. Maybe its just me being a typical asian. And all I can do now is to pray... and pray too that while on this relationship with God that my life will be change to reflect His glory to my family because of His Holy Spirit is in my life and getting more in tuned to Him.

Tuesday have to go down to mandai for my aunt's funeral send off. She passed away on Fri morning peacefully. I wished she was saved. A really nice lady who always come and visit us though she stays at Hougang. She will always buy something - when we were younger its some small toys and knick knacks. Last few years were chocolates and grapes. She doesnt even earn much, and like my dad was diabetic for a few years but under control. And she went away so fast... I & my family will miss her very much.

Having from last year June to this year June - its almost one year. And in this year, two funerals.

Life is really short my friends. And life is more than about praying for blessings, praying for povisions etc. I believe that He is the Jehovah Jireh, that as much as He feels the sparrows which labours little - how much more will He provide!
It is then no longer about provisions and things we need in our life - so what else is life about? We will labour, and reap what we need. We will also labour in the Lord for the greater things in the unseen, beyond events and things we think we can do.

And I realise... for the past one year (june 04 to june 05) I havent really done much. I havent done much & jumping on the bandwagon with the NATOs (no action talk only). Maybe a bit here and there but what have I actually really done? And this from mr Oswald Chambers hit and got me thinking...

Think about your own circumstances. Are you so closely identified with the Lord’s life that you are simply a child of God, continually talking to Him and realizing that everything comes from His hands? Is the eternal Child in you living in His Father’s house? Is the grace of His ministering life being worked out through you in your home, your business, and in your circle of friends? Have you been wondering why you are going through certain circumstances? In fact, it is not that you have to go through them. It is because of your relationship with the Son of God who comes, through the providential will of His Father, into your life. You must allow Him to have His way with you, staying in perfect oneness with Him.

Maybe God is challenging me, and even people around me? Its time to rise and go beyond where you are standing now. Go b eyond what you think you can do, go beyond what you fathom what God can do. Coming to a point to bow down in repentance of the things you have gone against God. And just continue walking with Him, following the footsteps...

And Faith - faith to believe in a God that will do the impossible.
