WRITE, WRITE, WRITE AWAY… MORE POLISHING NEEDED!!
Anyways, evie approached me asking whether I would be interested to write an article for “SURGE”. That’s a weekly e-newsletter that cell members would receive in dumc… as far as I know, this article would be forwarded to various cells in a certain sub-zone… it is in fact a ministry, a writing ministry, that was established roughly 4 to 5 years back… it starts with the prayer intercessors down to the cell prayer secretary, who will then forward the article (or anything at all that has got to do with prayer) to the cell members… each cell has a person who is responsible for mobilizing & rallying prayer in the cell, working in concert with his/her cell leader, and this person is called the prayer sec…
“SURGE” is an article where one can find stories of encouragement, explanation & elaboration of the promises of God from the Bible, which could also be a way to challenge us to improve our spiritual walk with the Lord and to take His Word seriously… divided into 3 sections, the first is SURGE, which gives a short explanation of the main theme for that week… then down to the PROMISE section which consist of verses from the Bible and the promises of God that comes with it… and last but not least the HEARTCRY section which, most of the time, are testimonies contributed by cell members, or anyone at all, to bless God’s people… and yea, praise God for giving me the opportunity to be able to contribute and bless hearts…
Indeed, I was nervous because I have never written something that was to be published for everyone to read… I asked evie if this would be forwarded to all in the church, and she said “only to certain zones.” *Phew* doesn’t sound too bad, haha… so, yea, I agreed to contribute… and it was really by faith AND BY GOD’S GRACE becoz when I agreed to her, my head was still blank about what to write, because the title did sound abit too deep… in fact, what I had in mind doesn’t sound right for this week’s title, eheh… somehow, somewhere it was Him who helped me blend in to the theme… ooh, and inspiration from Him, whoa!! Without Him putting words in my head, it really wouldn’t have turned out the way it is… PRAISE THE LORD!!
This week’s “SURGE” published on Wednesday, 26 April 2006 entitled WHEN IT IS TIME TO GO HOME… Scroll down til you see the “HEARTCRY” section *winkz* My testimony is there... =) God bless!!

SONGS, SONGS, SONGS...
There’s a Hero
If you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid of what you are
There’s an answer if you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a Hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you finally see the truth
That a Hero lies in you
It’s a long road when you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within urself
And that emptiness you felt
Will disappear
Bridge
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
Don’t let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tmrw
In time you’ll find the way
Looking at this song in a different light and meaning altogether, I find it such an inspiration… take note of the H in the hero being in capitals… what do you figure? Ponder on it again, with Jesus taking the place of the “hero” in this song, beautiful meaning =p eheh, sorry, I’m such a music person, that every song I listen to, I tend to look deep into the lyrics… and often times I find “isi tersirat” behind the original *winkz*
EVERYTIME YOU TOUCH ME by diana ross
I wanna call the stars down from the sky
I wanna live a day that never dies
I wanna change the world only for you
All the impossible I wanna do
I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain
I wanna what’s beautiful looking at you
In a world of lies you are the truth
And baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see juz what I was
Show you the loneliness and what it does
You walked into my life to stop my tears
Everything’s easy now I have you here
And baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
Ahhh, as for this one, I juz love the lyrics in itself… so sweeeet XD *lol* love it the original way, not salt and pepper added, kekeke… pls excuse me, I’m juz being “high”, don’t know why, hahaha… probably got the “high”—ness from cell yesterday, haha… ooh, and speaking of cell, t’was really a great time of soaking in His presence during worship!! Tho it was a simple time of worship by juliet, but towards the closing, j-son took over and led us into deeper communion with the Lord, and I cannot deny that it was so truly refreshing, somehow esp yesterday, haha… could really feel His presence in that place! Goosebumps, hehehe… All the more when we moved into the last song ABOVE ALL… in the whole of the song, t’was only the LAST sentence that really “hit” me… AND THOUGHT OF ME, ABOVE ALL…
A couple of things that I’ve been praying about have seemed to be stagnant, probably it’s not His timing yet, I don’t know… and with that, like I said, the last sentence of the song not only “hit” me, but brought a different light altogether as He conveyed those things to me while I was worshipping Him, and reminded me that “He thought of me above all”!! of course I’m still hopeful, but knowing His word says “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways…… and My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts”, I am surrendered, hehe *winkz*
ABOVE ALL
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure what You’re worth
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me above all

HALF OF EACH!!
But then again, who cares what people say, as long as I know this decision comes from the Lord Himself… Yes, I used to be so conscious about what people will think of me, so much so I tend to make decisions based on what they will say rather than what I feel is right… well, not anymore!! I’m juz so sick and tired of the fact that, if you’re not following the so-called rules closely (and correctly), you’ll tend to be the hot topic for the day… Arrrgghh, what the ---- Why should I live my life worrying about what others will say and think of me? Remember last year’s theme? Ahaha
Some asked, “how can you be splitted in two places, as in serving in one and worshipping and growing in another?? Don’t the doctrines differ? Which will you be following then?” well, my questions back to you, “aint Jesus the same no matter which church you go?? And which is more important, personal walk with the Lord and ministry of my service to Him, or juz for the sake of going with the flow? or have you ever thought about the importance of placing urself in an environment where it brings out the best in you?” if I can have the benefit of both places, AND give of myself in both places, why not?? Haha =p
Yes, I’m half here and half there… so what? Wahahaha *winkz* Juz so wish that I could be there for my first home evangelism aka home e (dumc’s version of harvest event) tonight and the easter production on sunday, but juz coz of this chicken pox… issshh!! *lol* hope they’re having fun tho, ehehee… Go, PraiseGivers!! Rock on for Jesus!!

ITCHING LIKE NO BODY’S BUSINESS!!
First it was the headache and giddiness on Sunday night over to Monday morning. Having planned for an outing with Wai Ling and Chee Keong (fondly known as CK) for that morning itself, I didn’t wanna cancel it again as it has been quite a while that we discussed about it, but didn’t get down to it. So I didn’t wanna spoil the plan by calling it off. Now off we go, the 3 of us, together wif CK’s mom, headed for a time out at MVM. I wonder if it’s due to the virus oredi in me, and then got exposed to some germs or bacteria.
Anyways, side track a bit... Some pics for the eye *winkz* as usual, kekeke =p
Some quick shots right after the movie, before heading for lunch... Wai Ling's supposed to be in the pic as well, but she plainly refused this time around... Dont know why, haih =p ok, fine, next mission is to fill our growling stomachs, so leave it up to them to recommend... of all places, MVM is one spot where my family will choose to avoid, so that explains my unfamiliarity, wahaha... so, they decide, i juz tag along... So final decision? Little Vietnam *winkz* cool... and for a first-timer like me, i'll juz be satisfied with watever i'm blessed... my responsibility is to settle the bill at the end of the day and make sure everyone's happy, hehe =p
That's Wai Ling doing the honor of selecting our dish for the day, kekeke... Beside her is CK, her so-called "husband" also my so-called "boyfriend" wahaha... Long story to it, so let's juz leave the "husband & boyfriend" explanation out, oright?? *lol* it's juz all our craps, to spice things up rather than living life so boring =p now how can i miss my turn?? posing time, kakaka...
The fever and headache started taking effect the minute i got home from this outing, haiyo... hahaha, but thank God it was after everything... and it was on and off… In fact it shot up to 39C on weds!! One more degree and I’m over to the dangerous level… quickly, I decide to go take some rest, and as I was restlessly lying there, the word chicken pox came to mind, so immediately got outta bed again to check the signs and symptoms of it from the net… expectedly, they all matched!! and true enuff, after confirming with my doctor uncle, chicken pox is the very answer... Oh dear, why didn’t I get it earlier, way back when I was still working in Beautiful Gate? A couple of them were down with it back to back, and with hope that I would oso get it, i deliberately hung around them, but tak kena, haih… the itch started taking effect last night, and believe me, it’s torturous, cudnt sleep well at all the whole night =( It’s only the second day and I cudnt take it oredi?? How am I gonna last two weeks?? Arrrgghh!! Can you imagine how bad it’s gonna be with the pox all over your mouth?? I mean inside the mouth!! Darn, so uncomfortable!! And with the medication all over my body, I seriously look like a white-spotted clown *lol* I juz wish no one will pop by with the reason of visiting me =p and when my mom reminded me about it, I seriously hope the PraiseGivers would not gimme a heart-attack-surprise visit, haha…
Friends advised me on things to do and not to do, food to take and not to take. A couple of em were juz there to keep me company while I worked my morning shift before taking a half day leave, thanx people *winkz* you know who you are… the sad thing is, I’d missed work at JICA on weds, then postponed to today… but lit’s obvious I’ve missed it again =( not only that, I might most probably miss DUMC’s TOY SYMPHONY easter production!! Again?? Isshh!! Chicken pox punya pasal!!
All in all, I’m having fun sleeping and resting most of the time of the day, wahaha… 11.00pm, off to bed again, kekeke…
