Realising God

A Gentle Thunder Max Lucado Once there was a man who dared God to speak. Burn the bush like you did for Moses, God; and I will follow. Collapse the walls like you did for Joshua, God; and I will fight. Still the waves like you did on Galilee, God; and I will listen. And so the man sat by a bush, near a wall, close to the sea and waited for God to speak. And God heard the man, so God answered. He sent fire, not for a bush, but for a church. He brought down a wall, not of brick, but of sin. He stilled a storm, not of the sea, but of a soul. And God waited for the man to respond. And he waited... And he waited... And he waited. But because the man was looking at bushes, not hearts; bricks and not lives; seas and not souls, he decided that God has done nothing. Finally, he looked to God and asked, "Have you lost your power?" And God looked at him and said, "Have you lost your hearing?"

After that, I rested at YWCA for awhile before taking a taxi home to rest. Whoaaaa. Pretty scary and I'm feeling kinda weak now. But an interesting experience I guess. Thank God it only happened near my stop, and my brother was nearby. You know, I used to think - how come so many people have experi

Hey look folks! I donated some rice yesterday! Through freerice.com where you play simple games of a topic of choice (eg, vocabulary, geography) and each right answer contributes to a donation of 10 grains of rice! So yups I donated 1780 grains of rice yesterday. - Okay for a brief update of what I've been doing the near 2 months that I haven't blogged, here's some backtracking. And actually, I'm not going to type much because I am... lazy :D OCF AGM Camp; Convention in Tasmania 30 Nov - 6 Dec 2010 Bestest campsite ever in Hobart! It was a camp obviously covered in much prayer and preparation. The speakers, Pastors David Cook and Ron Nguent were the "old school" type who did straightforward teaching from Romans and Corinthians. Me likey. The programme was smooth. The food was yumyumrubstub. The intercenter/interstate fellowship at this convention was so much warmer this year. As for AGM, while people may say sitting at a "long meeting" is

And so, it begins.

I'm back! Sorry I haven't blogged for 1.5 months. Been really busy. Am back in Singapore for good now and... will update this space soon :)
