Hi all,
I’m sure some of you guys have seen this video before. Needs no explanation. Just a reminder for everyone that we are to draw close to Him this season. It’s a simple, yet genuine and intimate letter from God. No matter what is the current level of faith you have, let Him remind you that we are always in His mind ALL THE TIME!!
In the Garden February 18, 2008

G
I come to the garden alone,
C G
While the dew is still on the roses,
D7 G
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
A D7
The Son of God discloses.
G D
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
D7 G
And He tells me I am His own,
G B7 C
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
G D7 G
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.
I’d stay in the garden with Him,
Tho’ the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go, thro’ the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
Manga Messiah February 6, 2008

Well well, the gospel in comic form. Now I am just waiting for a pop-up book version of the gospel. Interestingly, I did learn quite a few things reading the comic.
One, was that Jesus was in fact defining a new family relationship, one created by mutual faith in the Lord when he said the seemingly harsh words “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers? The person who does the will of my Father in heaven, that person is my brother, my sister, my mother.”
Two, was that the thirty silver coins for Judas’ betrayal was normally money intended for the purchase of sacrificial animals. In this case, it was literally payment for the sacrifical lamb of God.
Three, in the time of Jesus, High Priests are apparently more higher ranked than Chief Priests. Annas and Caiaphas are either both High Priests then, or one could be the “Senior Minister” while the other acts as the “Prime Minister” in the priesthood order.
The literal title of the books sounds a bit funny though – Comic Savior?
You Are My Hiding Place February 5, 2008

As I was meditating on Psa 32, I stopped at verse 7:
“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.”
And then I remembered the refrains from this song…so beautiful, so ministering….indeed, whatever that u r facing right now, put your trust in the Lord, for He is your hiding place and He will sing over you with songs of deliverance.

My Lunchtime Testimony February 3, 2008
Posted by dydytan in Testimony.2 comments
On Thursday, two of my female colleagues asked me out for lunch. We went to this nice place that sold German cuisine near my office and ate pork knuckle and German sausage. Yumyum… too bad I puked everything out after lunch cos I was just recovering from gastric flu.
Anyway, this entry is not meant to talk about the food… it was more of the conversation that left me a deep impression. Let me give some intro to the other 2 characters. Colleague S is a lady who just started work 2 years ago. She is quite well-to-do and always works very hard, cos she always eats in. But she buys herself very nice, branded and trendy stuff to wear. Colleague J is a very clever girl, is a management trainee, first class honours student, beautiful, speaks very eloquently etc
This was how the conversation went as we were eating the sausages and pork knuckle…
J: Hey Cindy, you always seem very busy. What do you do during your free time?
Me: Oh Mon I am free, Tue tennis lesson, Wed cell, Thur free, Fri cell, Sat GB, Sun church..
J: Oh how about pak tor?
Me: Oh yah forgot to mention, one of the free days will be spent pak tor.
J: Wow your life is very fulfilling. I like your life.
S: I admire your life too but I am someone who needs alot more free time
Me: Oh yes I like time by myself too but it’s still possible to find pockets of time free here and there..
J: Why are you involved in GB?
Me: Oh it’s a long story.
(Before I knew it, I realized I was sharing my testimony with them)
Me: I used to lead a havoc life when I was young, it was only after I became a Christian in NUS that my life changed.
J and S: What?! I thought you were born a Christian cos you look so “guai”….
Me: Haha no…
J and S: How many bfs you had last time?
Me: Haha you don’t want to know anyway that was how I was in the past.
S: So what made you change your life?
Me: (I couldn’t find any other way to paraphrase so I just said) I felt God told me my life was not right. I decided to change my lifestyle and here I am now. I felt that I made alot of mistakes when I was younger which could have been avoided if I had a mentor then. Thus I decided to join the Girls’ Brigade, in the hope of impacting the girls.
J and S: That’s very meaningful….
(With that, we finished our lunch and went back to work)
(8pm at taxi stand, I bumped into J)
J: Hi Cindy, Wanna thank you for sharing about your life this afternoon. Will like to hear more next time.
Me: Oh it was nothing much….. my pleasure… Good night…
With every lunch appointment that I make, I have always hoped that it will be one that I can encourage another colleague. At least for that particular lunch, I’m glad I am able to speak of His goodness in my life. Sometimes I really wonder how I will have turned out if I hadn’t known God in NUS. Thank God, thank Serene and thank all who have been ploughing in NUS. Don’t give up! I’m sure there are many more like how I was there!
