The mini concert on Sunday

Today the worship training class had a mini concert in the multipurpose hall at cck! Everybody had the jitters especially me! We were at Jurong west as usual for our sunday service! then we went to have lunch at gek poh shopping area, i ate with Joash, Esther Foong, Pam and Desmond, all of them were hilarious in the way they talked and joked about! after that we took a cab down to cck for the mini-concert which starts at 2.30 so we had sometime to kill while we were there, Pam went to play the piano on stage together with Esther, Jason tan, Jonathan and Desmond... we were trying to help Esther choose a song to sing for the mini-concert...... Desmond also had that same trouble in deciding too! We were also playing a fool on the piano and laughing at Esther and Pam singing songs with funny expressions with some emo songs with hilarious suggestions like falling on your knees and then jumping up and continuing the songs hahahaha.... Desmond also played the piano and made a funny face while singing! too bad i didn't catch it on video otherwise it would have been cool! Then Hannah, Samuel, Daniel and i went outside to practice abit before the time came..... When sis anne came we were told there was a meeting in the santuary so we went up to the multipurpose hall, before that we also drew lots to see who was going first the number was :
1.Desmond
2.Samuel
3.Esther
4. ME!!
5.Kevin
6.Gabriel
7.Hannah
8.Daniel

Well to me we all did our best and had some fun while nerve wrecking experiences for everyone hahaha well here's my video for singing and pretty much embarrassing myself so hahaha btw if you hear a woman's voice its my mom haha! she had been praying for me to not get nervous for the performance. It sort of worked cause i didn't really feel nervous inclusive of the laugh midway, Hannah thanks though you sort of made me forget about the crowd for a short moment hahahaha! Well after that I had nlt1 and then evening service and after that we went with the youths to have dinner, and during dinner we were laughing and telling lame jokes with Renming and Anthony and Mark and Sarah and then went home.

Wow! God is amazing!

How do people cope with hurt?  they cut themselves, and hurt themselves and some even give up entirely and commit suicide! well 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 says

"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred and you are that temple"

Powerful verse isn't it? I know now that if i'm feeling hurt of any kind i should look to God as He has always been there for me, not even my family can be there for me all the way but God has, and i'm glad He's in control. Imagine if there was no God... imagine people living without somebody looking out for them, there wouldn't be any love or anything beautiful, honestly a world without God is just a blank! not even people would be there..... why? because in Genesis 1:1-3 it says

" In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light."

Now imagine a world with an evil god.......where the world would be in chaos and there still would not be any love, imagine if all god did was to create us just to kill each other or to make a joke out of us?

there wouldn't be anything beautiful in this world now would it?

 But yet My God is Living and Good! He created trees to shade us, He made us to think for ourselves and not be some dumb puppets doing stuff without a brain! Everything you see around you from the trees to the birds and the skies and the oceans was all created by Him! Why you ask? its because He loves us and He wants us to have the best view for our eyes! After everything He has done for us all He asks in return is for us to love him whole heartedly, is that so much to ask for?

Updates!

man i haven't blogged in like a week and i've missed so much updates hahaha AND ITS JUST A WEEK! anyway argh got editorials to do fun but boring in a way plus compos and marking for my work! hais its going to be a tiring week, i went to the doctor and he told me that my cough was borderline asthmatic and that i should go on a bland diet, i know in the previous week i got very distracted by different things but mostly jealousy, why i have no idea! anyway its been tough cause i've been ta hanning for quite long already, why do i even care so much i have no idea also! my cough has been getting better i suppose after all i have finished my pill medication though i still have my liquid medication haha i was worshipping God yesterday and i realized that i haven't been giving Him my 100% in my worship and once i admitted it to Him, i felt close to Him again! now i'm going to work hard enough to go back to the level where i used to be, to the point of time where the Holy Spirit would tell me and teach me how to worship Him, to the point where i wouldn't get distracted by friendships and wouldn't let them get in my way of getting close to God and completely depending on Him for everything, for friendship, for financial needs and for my entire life basically! Well i'm still dealing with jealousy problems and i think it kicked it up a notch and went into my dreams! well thats gotta stop! hahaha i had a great time on sat with the youths and then the cw bbq after that was awesome! WELL TRUSTING GOD IS THE ONLY WAY TO CARRY ON IN LIFE! hahaha so i hope it would be revealed why i'm going through this hahaha either way i THINK it's going to interesting! You wanna know something weirder? whenever i'm not close to God my hairstyle when i wake up is crazy but when i'm close to God my hairstyle when i wake up is super super tame! plus i am more active and friendly hahaha there's your proof that God exists!

East Timor Day 3

Got some news from my mom today that they found  a house with an incredible view of the mountains, though there is only electricity from 6pm to 12am which would be hard on me to tell the truth, i will post the pictures later:) today i woke up at 5 pm again as i was too tired the whole day. today i didn't cough as much as yesterday because everytime i coughed my abdomen hurts very badly:( i hope i can go to my net tomorrow:)

East Timor Day 2

Today i didn't recieve news from my mom and about East timor, i'm having a fever right now (38.2) and i actually woke up at 5pm cause i was so tired from coughing! I hope i get better in time for net and the edge:)i think i'm sick because i'm missing my mom, anyway i had a friend who was telling me how many ways i can get better from home, and i had another friend who is praying for me:) well i'm tired again so i'm just gonna go off now:)

East Timor Day 1

Today i didn't get to say goodbye to my parents when they went to the airport, well i came back and tried not to think about it couldn't sleep the whole night cause of a horrid and painful cough, so i made spaghetti for myself and after eating felt like vomitting:( i also had a slight fever and my stomach was giving me problems, I fell asleep until 5 pm in the evening and still felt like vomitting, but my sister made seafood spaghetti which was too much for her to finish so she gave me half of it and it was delicious and then i watched abit of monster house and first class and sayang sayang and i recieved a message from my mom saying that she's arrived safely and they said that they have arrived safely and that they would be going to Quelicai tomorrow here's charis coughing her way to sleep now goodbye!

The Start of Something New

Well it has been a few days since i last blogged, today is the day before my parents leave for East Timor, was feeling scared, I spent the whole day watching a show called "fated to love" or something like that:) i can't remember the title but its really sad at some parts and really heartwrenching parts in the show, its also very addictive...I spent the whole day watching it with my mother and sister so called quality time together hahaha anyway we laughed together and my mom and me cried together cause there was a part where the main lead had to choose between his long time girlfriend and his pregnant wife, and another part where the girlfriend was not wanting to share the main lead with the wife, gave her the abortion papers which the girlfriend said that the main lead wanted the wife to sign and indirectly caused the wife to have a miscarriage, i think that was the saddest part in the whole show! I also have a hurting throat and cough from practicing alot of songs for a mini presentation for worship training(which i love btw), its also because i have been worrying for my parents who are going early in the morning to East Timor. My good friends tried to help me cheer up although the subjects we talked about on msn was like about choosing what song to sing(hannah) or singing in the rain(yes renming you!hahahaha) or trying to forget about what was happening:) anyway i chatted with my new mentor(for worship) who is esther foong!She encouraged me and told me that no doubt its going to be tough but with God's grace, He will see me through! and through this i will be totally dependent on God! hahaha i look foward to the grooming of a new charis from now on! hahaha also this is going to be the start of a 7 day blogging where i will try to keep readers informed of the work in east timor:)jia you charis! I really hope that my parents can find internet in East Timor, so that my mom can keep me informed of the works done by God over there hahaha this is Charis signing off now!
