advance calculus came and passed(ok, it was bad...). japanese mid-terms tmr.
good news! flash lab dateline on thursday has been postponed to monday! Thank God, I think the game deserves more.

Support Raising Seminar is coming up this Saturday. I'll need prayer on how to present this. I'm sure we all approach raising support in fear and uncertainty, but God is more then sufficient for all our needs.

We continue to look for speakers for the weekly Operation Chiangmai Missions Seminar. Pastor has kindly agreed to speak on the 10 March on the cross and what it means in our lives. I don't know who will come, and how many. But I know my God has a plan far better. Beyond looking at the situation at hand, I praise God for opportunity to show how He is able to work the hearts of people and is always in control and at work in every situation I am in. Praise God!

Missions month is coming up in March. (and so is mid-term exams... haha) but anyway, had steamboat dinner with YF and Sunday School. Somehow, we ended up talking about missions again. haha... I think it's terrible for anyone else, because our topics are so predictable.

Anyway, the missions workshops and seminar topics list with rough dates are done.

tomorrow(technically today) registration for Operation Chiang Mai 2007 ends. Who will God send? Please pray.

just got my blogger stats and I realise how "cold" my blog is... haha.. just an average of 1 view per week. My theory years ago about people not being interested in the things going on in your life seems to be right... at least for mine. haha...

Anyway, had a fantastic chinese new year, with late nights, hong baos, great fellowship... and of course the nice chat with the missions sub-comm we had at Uncle Kok Wah's place. I think God's heart beat is always upon our minds.. and it does seem that no matter what we do, it still upon our hearts. I do wish, God willing, that more would share in the same passion.

Just did up a 1st draft of the topics for the missions equipping workshops/seminars. Praying for God to continue to give wisdom in this area.

I really feel inadequate to do the work, but somehow I'm not so afraid, knowing that it is the will of God. I hope to pray unceasingly in every manner possible as we seek to glorify God in this area.

An essay due this friday, and a flash animation lab, a calculus mid-term paper and a japanese mid term test all due next week. Don't like doing this work... haha..

Today we learnt 2 things.

1. God's plan of salvation and forgiveness of sins for mankind involves all the nations.
2. Every Christian in the body of Christ is placed in a positioned thought best by God and is important and interdependent on the other members of the body of Christ.
   

Thank God for all the faithful ones who continue in studying the word of God, in prayer and in fellowship through this Great Commission group. Though we've known each other for a while now, through this, I begin to feel a deeper sense of friendship and unity amongst us. Perhaps, its just me, but it's still very real, when we work together towards a single goal - to obey God to promote the Gospel to all the world and pray one for another, there is a gladness uncomparable to normal friendships that runs in me. Thank God.

A great reunion dinner tonight, where I learnt many interesting happenings going on. Won't comment too much about it, but suffice to say they are "gossip worthy".. haha... I continue to thank God that I'm in the hands of a God who is constant and loving, that I don't need to depend upon horoscopes, lucky numbers and etc to ensure I have a good year ahead, when I know The Great Shepherd is looking out for His own little sheep like me.

Featured on Waseda Shibuya High School's website. Our little visit to their school and the tea ceremony we had there. 　小さいだけど、いい所だよ！ with an excellent canteen that made good tiramisu @ $1.50!

Today we brought the Waseda High School students around NUS for a tour. As a whole we spent a rather good timetouring parts of NUS that even I have never been to.

For me though, I had an unbearable time with myself... or my lack of ability to speak with them in japanese... The words keep escaping me and it got a lil fustrating. Came back home and prayed about it. I know our Lord is the one who makes the tongue (just as He told Moses in Genesis) and that He was the one who created different languages to scatter the people gathered around the Tower of Babel... He'll still be the One who will give a person ability to converse in a language. I asked that He knowing the desires of my heart, would allow me to be fluent in His time, for His purposes.

Attended a japan missionary's mum's funeral last night. It was quite elaborate, with all the marks of an expensive chinese funeral. Perhaps, what would be sad is to see him at a corner observing his other siblings performing all sorts of rites for the dead. I pray that God will use this for His glory.

Tired out from school and debates. Don't have much desire to do anything... except read the word of God and pray... a sign of burning out. I need rest, will sign out and rest early.　お休みなさい！

Me Church... Where it is all about you.

Anyone shopping for a church?

thank God for a blessed time of studying the 5 part great commission studies, discussion and fellowship. God is indeed at work in our every situation, if we take notice to give thanks to the things occuring around us.

Memorised Matt 28:18-20. God's calling for born-again believers to "Go... and make disciples of all nations..."

I heard of Japan missionary friend whose mother suddenly passed away and he needs to come back to Singapore today. The 2nd such sudden death of an unbelieving parent I've seen in the past 4 weeks. Makes me reflect on my family...

The 5 Great Commission Studies

Well, after coming back and recovering from a cough... thank God for renewed strength to do His work.

I am thankful to God for the many brothers who have agreed promptly at the idea of studying God's word regarding the great commission! We're going to use material from Brother Nat who passed it to us in Chiang mai - 5 Great Commission studies by Jerry Bridges.

It's about the right time now, where I thought we can all come together to investigate the height and depth of our calling in the Great Commission. I pray that God will bless our hearts to His glory and that many more will be able to have the opportunity to join us.

Thank God for His mercies that I'm back in Singapore. Will continue to update the last few days of the blog in Chiang Mai where we went up north and had not net access.

I'm suffering from cough for a few days now. Taking cough medicine. For for the Lord to heal.

So many things to do for the Lord, and so much discipline needed for them...

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God... Psalm 143:10

For the things that you really want in life, giving a 100% isn't quite enough.

Today's food for thought. 100% would mean to fulfill requirement. 100% prayer isn't quite enough, and just making sure you meet the deadlines and turn in all that is needed isn't quite enough. 110%, 150% maybe even 300%.

Learning and growth. Perhaps part of truly taking ownership over my own growth, is to recognise that, meeting requirements isn't enough. Passion to do more and expose myself is part of it all.

今日オチャドロードに行った。初めにコンタクトレンズを使った。コンタクトレンズのはめた方は難しいだから、４回ぐらいで正しくなった。でも、楽しかった。いまさら、また私の眼鏡がない顔を見られる！

ブログに日本語で書いたら、何人が読めましたか。誰かわかりましたか。いないと思います。
今日教会に行くんですから、今から寝た方がいいです。じゃ、またね。

leaving on a jetplane... the airplane tickets to Chiang Mai have been booked. God willing, we'll be there on a journey of faith and trust for 25 days. It's exciting, I know even before I'm there. For the Lord will do great and mighty things that we don't even yet know.

God willing, will He bring alongside like-minded Galileans to serve in His harvest field, to grasp how far and wide the harvest is, and how little the labourers are.

this mission trip like the one to Japan has so many unknowns and honestly, I'm not very adventurous. If given a choice, I would probably remain in Singapore. I've never been to Chiang Mai before, and this would be the smallest group that I'm going to travel the furthest with. But I'm mindful tonight as it was shared during crusade discipleship training, that it is all about obedience and application.

Luke6:46 Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I tell you? 47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.

Obedience to the will of God, and doing what we have each been called to do - to fulfill that Great Comission.

A man who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock? or one who builts on the ground without a foundation? sober reminder to live the walk and walk the talk, moment by moment.

Proverbs 14:
27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life,
that one may turn away from the snares of death.
28In a multitude of people is the glory of a king,
but without people a prince is ruined.
29Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,
but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

wisdom for life.. some application each day.
