We Have Overcome!!

I'm all for Christ.

i went with Jie Qi yesterday for the sermon by Nick Vujicic at the Heart of God Church.. i felt it to be much of an assurance as well as encouragement and also a prompting - to not be afraid but to take the step of faith towards where God is leading me.

jie qi, shide and jon lim stayed over last nite. and we had loads of fun.

but i wasn't actually thinking much of the fun compared to what has been happening in my life over the last few weeks.

i haven't been attending fellowship/fuel for a very long time. and recently during pastor gary's message God spoke to me and i knew that i hadn't been doing what's right --- being faithful in serving or making time for God thru FUEL. the prompting was so strong and at the same time the resistance to join again was so strong, yet i knew that if i were to walk the path as i had said i would i need to join back.

i guess the main reason behind not going for fuel for so long was cos i didn't noe many ppl and i felt left out. i believe God helped me overcome that and also instill confidence in me over the last 5weeks or so..

this may sound rather awkward or miniscule. but it was a big step for me. but when i took it, God just guided me through. and now im connected once again,in a great buzz group with a great leader =) im learning new things abt leadership and im planning to rise up and slowly take on the destiny tt awaits me =))

its one of those perfect examples when a decision is made and we take the step and the next step is guided by God. we may never know what to expect next be it trials or rewards but we can be sure that God is waiting there on the other side to catch us when we fall -he will never let us fall(certain situtation might be alllowed by God but he ultimately turns them round for his glory and our benefit.)

but more than that, i have been praying more and just immmersing myself more in his word, and i am seeing changes in the people around me - tis part's a little personal (i shall keep it confidential). but things that i have never expected are happening

there are also instances when God has used the sermons and messages to assure me of my walk and that he is actually talking to me and its not my own voice - an exmaple is Pslam 27. i stumbled upon that Psalm one night durng my TAWG, and i was wondering if it was some coincidence or God using that Pslam to speak to me. and during one service he confirmed that he spoke to me through what the pastor preached =))

another way that i'm seeing God working i my life would be through the K-love encouraging word emails that i subscribe to. ever so often there are specific verses addressing my need for the day. there was once when the verses in James 4:7-10 kept reappearing in the emails, everday with jesus, and service.
"come near to God and he will draw near to you."

as im typing this i am tearing a little =) for knowing how much our Father cares about us -me... you...
and everytime i think about God's love i just wanna serve Him more and more.
i have to say that his plan is truly perfect!!!
yep this is one my longest posts but its one when i've spoken my heart.

Each day,
I see Him unfolding my destiny,
Bound with His love.
So, even through trials and pain,
I will praise God for he has lifted me up.
I may not know what is before me,
But I have seen all that has passed.
And this I know that my God will be there with me
All the days of my life -
for he is the same yesterday, today and forever!

Hallelujah!!!!
