Hebrews 12: 1-2a

The Race of Faith

 1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...
 
I could imagine sis Tien there, part of that great cloud of witnesses, cheering us on. I visited the Beijing Olympic stadium 2 days before I left for Singapore, and I was very impressed by the sheer number of audience seats all around the stadium. I could imagine what it would be like when the whole stadium is filled with audience cheering the athletes on. It was such a spectacular scene.
 
We are the atheletes running this Christian race, and the many saints before us are there, in the audience, cheering us on. It isn't a lonely race. It's a race that many has gone through and completed. When sis Mag shared about how sis Tien gave the 2 thumbs up to her and her husband, I too understood what it meant, and it touched me deeply. It meant to encourage them to go on loving the Lord, to continue praying for the saints, to continue on with the race.
 
With the love of God spurring me on, and the encouragement of the saints ,may I learn to pick myself up and continue to move on.

Farewell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIkUnC7iYwI&feature=related

I was surfing around for SOP songs on youtube when I chance upon this song. What a wonderful song to listen to before I leave tmr. Thank the Lord.

The flight landing announcement caught my attention as I'll be leaving for Beijing tmr. The lyrics and video are wonderful, it spoke deeply to me, to remember to draw close to the Lord, and to FIND THE CHURCH IN BEIJING!

What a wonderful and encouraging and comforting God I have.

DaWn says:
so appropriate for today,
Hannah says:
plane, china, underground church
Hannah says:
i only heard the belt part
Hannah says:
but really, dun b so pessimistic n morbid...
Hannah says:
haha
Hannah says:
what makes you think you might die @ such young age if its not according to His will
DaWn says:
no la, if it's His will for me to die in China, then it's ok
DaWn says:
I'm prepared to go
DaWn says:
if not, then still thank the Lord la
DaWn says:
thoughts of dying came when we keep seeing images of earthquakes in China,
DaWn says:
natural disasters
DaWn says:
air disasters
Hannah says:
haha
Hannah says:
waaaa
Hannah says:
suddenly a wave of negativity overwhelms me
DaWn says:
why leh?
DaWn says:
you also think i will die there?
Hannah says:
lol

luke 6:38

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
 
Thank the Lord for all the saints who love love me so so much.
I think 5/6 of my luggage is filled with stuff from the saints. 
I thank the Lord for all the jackets, socks, hats, gloves, thermal warmers, travel cooker, money, bag, stylus, prayers and prayers, even laptop! They lend me so many things it's really overflowing.

I will serve the Lord- Steve Green


There marches through the centuries
The martyrs of the cross
All those who choose to follow Christ
To suffer any loss
And though their journey led them
Through the shadow lands of death
The song of their commitment
They rehearsed with every breath

Chorus:
I will serve the Lord
I will serve the Lord, my God
And if God should choose, and my life I lose
Though my foe may slay me, I will serve the Lord

Uncertain days now echo back
That strong and urgent strain
To count the cost, take up the cross
And join in the refrain
For should our journey lead us
Through the shadow lands of death
May this be our hearts resolve
As long as we have breath

Chorus

The honor and the privilege ours
With wounds we suffer by His side
And to the glory of the Lord
Those sacred scars
We bear with pride

Chorus

Though my foe may slay me
I will serve the Lord

感谢上帝

Finally reached Daniel. Trudged through Ezekiel for so long! I find Daniel a pretty interesting book, well at least for now. I like the part where it writes that Daniel acknowledges that it was God who reveals secrets, when the King questioned him if he could make known to him the dream.

Increasingly, I find that it is important to acknowledge God's blessings and work in us.

Like the time I finally manage to find the NASA list of air-purifying plants on wikipedia. I searched through the whole NASA website but could not find it. After many days of searching miraculously I was led to the right website. I wrote this to my prof and friend who were working with me:

" I finally found the list of air-purifying plants!........ All thanks be to God!"

Ha, guess this would be the first time anyone received an NUS email praising God.

And today, when my mum told the elderly man who took her blood in the hospital that for the first time in her life, she didn't even notice when the needle was injected. It was painless. The man replied " 感谢上帝!" Wow, he didn't say like " oh, thanks" for his good needle injecting skill, but he thanked the Lord. I am impressed and encouraged.

Well, and today, I also have to " 感谢上帝!" that all went well for tuition. We finally managed to complete DECIMALS! ( with the exception of 1 more page left as homework for her).

And I " 感谢上帝!" that I finished making the present for Alex. Yeah bro! Hope you like it!

And I " 感谢上帝!" that I live in Singapore. Watching the 10pm documentary on Arts Central today makes me appreciate water so much more, and thank the Lord that we have access to clean water. I lived through 1 morning and afternoon yesterday without water and it was TERRIBLE. Felt like I was back at Pulau Ubin for YYPC last year.

I " 感谢上帝!" that He provided for me friends to go with me to Tsinghua, and a travel companion who's a Christian!

I " 感谢上帝!" that my dad brought me around Ngee Ann to look for plants for my research today.

I " 感谢上帝!" that my mum lent me her sweater when I was freezing at the NHC.

And I  " 感谢上帝!" that I have a super funny bro who's a computer and appliance whiz, and a happy-go-lucky sister who seldom get angry.

I " 感谢上帝!"  for the immensely cute p6s that I shepherd in church.

I " 感谢上帝!" for nice fellow serving ones and pianists in church.

I " 感谢上帝!" for the various various serving ones who labored to serve me these 21 years. Now that I'm also a serving one, I finally know how tough it is to serve kids. I can remember serving ones complaining to my mum about how talkative I was, or how naughty I am. I must have bothered them endlessly with my chatting with Joanna, or running off to the toilet with Jo during prayers so she could recount to me the previous Power Rangers episode. hahaha....

I
" 感谢上帝!"  for the numerous saints in church who love me endlessly and still think that I am "Dawn Dawn" the little girl.

Count your blessings dear saints, and you'll be surprised what God has done for you.

SEP

The post-lady? came with a package this afternoon at 12:09pm.
It's confirmed. The 10% uncertainty has finally been put to rest.
I'm really leaving. Like REALLY.
 
All this while, a 40% part of me hoped that package would be thin, containing just a slip of paper with these words " we regret to inform you that your application has been rejected..." But a 60% part of me knew it all along that it will be the opposite.
I knew it all along. I know God wants me to go.
To leave S'pore for a little while, to learn to trust in Him more, to leave my life in His hands.
 
There's lots of things to be done. Lots of things that I haven't done by myself before.
Need to apply for Visa, need to plan my trip, need to buy clothes, need to get my modules, need to read EVERYTHING in chinese, need to contacts saints, need to....

Can I doubt His tender mercies,
Who through life has been my guide.
Heavenly peace divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whatever befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
For I know whatever befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
 
All the way my Saviour leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my sould athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! a spring of joy I see.
 
All the way my Savior leads me;
Oh, the fullness of His grace!
Perfect rest to me is promised
Inmy Father's blest embrace!
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song thro' endless ages,
JESUS LED ME ALL THE WAY.

p5 and 6 concert reflections...

When I was tutoring SY yesterday I read through with her a passage about plays in her eng textbook. It brought back many beautiful memories of Children's Camp, and those bitter-sweet rehearsals. Looking through the pics posted by Esther also jolted back many memories.
 
This year, the p5 and 6 play was alot more demanding than last year's. Instead of just one class, we combined the p5s and 6s. In order to get everyone ( the kids) involved I had to create many many roles, and the p5s had to make many many props. Rehearsals are also not always so smooth sailing as last year's. I had some back up by sis Mag last year, but for some reason I was left to do it all alone this year. Not that I'm complaining, I do understand that the rest of the S.Os in p6 are close to clueless about what I plan to do, and I don't blame them. It's difficult to tell them what I have up in my mind. So anyways, 90% of the rehearsals for the p6s were directed by me. Not easy, I have to say. Towards the end, there are times when things get so tough I really felt like bursting into tears. I felt so responsible if the things didn't turn out well on the actual day. On the last day of the camp, things got so tough till I decided to lock myself in the toilet for a while to cry and pray ernestly to the Lord for help. Confessed to the Lord all my shortcomings, for not knowing how to coordinate everyone, for not knowing how to delegate ( like what Bro steven always say), for not praying and trusting in the Lord more, for lack of asking the Lord for guidance and instead doing things my way. I threw the resonsibility back to the Lord and asked Him to handle it.
 
Thank the Lord He is gracious to bless when we repent and turn back to Him for help. On the last day, the kids were super cooperative. We prayed before the start of the rehearsals, and after that, there were no major problems. I was very pleased with the actual performance. There were a few slips but aiyah, it's a kid's performance so it's ok la. God really blessed the concert. My mum was surprised when I told her Max was in charge of the music. It was so good she thought it was handled by an adult! She was even more surprised when I told her Grant was in charge of the powerpoint. He clicked the powerpoint at the exact timing. Way to go! Also, it's a wonder how 20 or 30 over kids can hide behind that minature puppet stage. The  20-30 over kids had to hide in an area of about a bamboo stick length and 1m in width. Pretty amazing.  
 
In the end, it all turned out well becuase God was there to bless it. I'm sure the kids also enjoyed it very much. Through those 3-4 months of preparations and coordination, props making, it taught me how wonderful it is when all the saints come together to work for the same thing. Bro Steven was the main IDEA MAN. He started us with the idea of having a puppet show and basically gave us the whole concept of the play. All the beautiful props were made by shu er. I helped a little. ( I drew the houses, and realised that even for a SDE girl like me, drawing houses isn't easy!). She had to deal with props missing a leg or a hand every time we rehearse because the kids can get quite rough with the props. My mum and sis thinks the house with the mum praying inside is one of the nicest. It's now pasted (permanently?) at the back of 4th flr extension. Pretty. Sis Ming Ern was the back stage coordinator. Not an easy job. Sis Mei Ling lend us her clothes rack. Bro Steven was the lights man. Bro Kai San was in charge of the powerpoints, and then trained Grant to do the powerpoint. I did the acting coordination and main direction. Sis Woon Cheng took care of training the kids for their song item.  Caleb filmed one of the rehearsal, Alex helped out sometimes...... I couldn't have done it without them. Like my mum said, you can't build up the church on your own. You need the other saints to work with you.
 
Indeed. Together, we build the church. I've also gained a great group of adult friends within the children service. I love working with the p5 serving ones!! ( ok la, and also W.C Alex, Caleb, W.E, Shane and Pari!)

God's love for us

Prayed for a spiritual revival last night, and today I get to watch this really powerful and touching video on Tiffany's blog.
 
Wow. The amazing love of God towards us. The sacrificial love of God. My econs prof once told us there's 3 types of love. Agape love, sacrificial love is the rarest the most costly. Indeed. And we Christians have it. Thank God!
 

Father Hear Your Children

This song kept playing in my mind when I woke up today and throughout last night.
The piano intro is so nice. My type of music.
Didn't really appreciate it when I heard it at Steve Green's concert, probably cos I didn't understand what the word "penitent" meant. But i went home to search the word on dictionary.
 
penitent:
adjective
1. feeling or expressing sorrow for sin or wrongdoing and disposed to atonement and amendment; repentant; contrite.
 
Now I understand. The song became beautiful after understanding it.
 
 
 

Father Hear Your Children

Father, hear Your children call
Humbly at Your feet we fall
Prodigals, confessing all
To the cross we bring our blame
All our life-long sin and shame
Penitent, we breathe Your name
Penitent, we breathe Your name

By Your love, by Your grace
By the blood of Jesus wash our sins away
Make us new today
Hear us as we pray

We're blind, but pray for eyes to see
Where we're bound, Lord make us free
Stained, we plead for purity
Where we're sick, apply Your cure
Take our guilt and make us pure
For Your mercy Lord, is sure
For Your mercy Lord, is sure

Lord, we have no other place to go
Only You can heal the wounding of our soul
Let forgiveness flow
Let forgiveness flow

service

The youth conference message was very impactful, but it's hard to put into words what God has told me, since it's really personal, and I ain't supposed to blog abt personal stuff, so sorry.
 
However, I want to share that, being a servant to the Lord is not easy. 
 
I'm starting to understand the difficulty in serving the brothers and sisters when I'm handed the task of doing the administrative work for children's camp this year. There are hundreds of forms to look through, money to collect, duties to be assigned and reassigned and reassigned again, buddies to be given and reassigned and reassigned, mentor/ mantee to be chosen and changed and changed and changed yet again,t-shirt sizes to collate, papers of papers to print, requests after requests to entertain, smses after smses after smses, calls after calls after calls, emails and emails and emails and emails, questions, questions, questions, cut name tags, reprint nametags, highlight names, color color color......
 
Wah. It makes me fall on my knees and pray for wisdom.

Wow. Still sang in Thai. If only I could get the lyrics.

Above All

Above All 超越一切

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUaAR1Ari6E&feature=related

Somehow the Chinese version touches me more than the Eng version, esp the "You took the fall and thought of me, above all" part. The Chinese translation for that phrase  in the song is " He humbled Himself because He loves me, above all".Makes me wonder why would such a great God come to die for my filthy sins, if it's not for love. What a great love that is.

Got a job

Praise the Lord for His providence.
I FINALLY GOT A JOB!
I'll be working for Dr Kua's research on Green Chimney.
 
I want to thank the Lord for:
1. giving me 2 other friends to work with me, Adrian and Yanni. (I thought I'll need to work alone.)
2. the job isn't very demanding. just an avg 2.6 hours daily!
3. I don't even have to think of what to say during the interview.
4. Dr Kua already made up his mind to employ me before I even went for the interview.
 
What an experience.
When God decides that's the right way for you to go, He literally throws open the door for you.
You just have to walk through.
 
Thank you God.
 
 
 
 

Psa 27:1


A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

พระเยโฮวาห์ทรงเป็นความสว่างและความรอดของข้าพเจ้า ข้าพเจ้าจะกลัวผู้ใดเล่า พระเยโฮวาห์ทรงเป็นที่กำบังเข้มแข็งแห่งชีวิตข้าพเจ้า ข้าพเจ้าจะต้องเกรงใคร

A verse to encourage myself an I prepare to go for a job interview with my prof.

year 2 over

EXAMS OVER!!
 
Goodbye for now, NUS,
I'll miss you.
I'll miss walking up the Engin/ SDE path like a mad woman rushing for lectures,
I'll miss mixing mortars in the lab,
I'll miss eating at June's,
I'll miss chatting with my friends in the LTs,
I'll miss hiding in the comp lab,
I'll miss my great group mates.
 
It'll be next year before I return.
Till then... Tsinghua here I come!
 
God is great. Gotta say this. Watched the Ratatou__( not sure how to spell) movie, and the scene when the reporters were asking the chef how he was able to cook well, and he didn't say it was the rat, but said something else.. left an impression on me. The rat has been guiding him to cook, but he didn't dare to acknowledge his help. It's like God and us isn't it. God helps us in many many ways, but sometimes we don't dare to acknowledge it before our friends.
 
So now, I gotta say,
GOD HELPED ME ALOT DURING MY EXAMS!
IT'S GOD, NOT ME!
ALL THOSE EXAM SPOTTING WAS GOD HELPING ME!

Psalms 121

Khon naa rak
 
Aa caan nuk hai raw fang pleeng nii muea wan nii. chan khaw jai pleeng nii! dii jai maak! Like finally. after 1 1/2 years of learning thai, I have finally progressed from totally not understanding what song was about except the word "thaw rai" till today when i can understand about 70% of a song.
 
But still, I think I'm still lagging behind in class. Thai 3 is really not easy. Everyone seems soo keng.
 
Oh, enough of such depressing stuff.
 
 
Campus meeting yesterday was good.
read Psalms 120-122.
Bok told us his testimony of how God told him to stay in S'pore and not go to US to study.
It was pretty cool.
It reminds me of the time I knew God talked to me, also in Germany.
How God told me He has the ability to take care of my future and that I don't have to worry so much about it.
That was during the Uni application period.
 
On hindsight, what God said was true.
He helped me get into uni, and have blessed me thus far.
Good grades, good friends, good time.
Though Thai is getting tougher and tougher, (gone are the days you can spend half the time in class laughing at each other's funny thai pronounciation), it's pushes me to improve more and to pray harder.
 
I think my life changed (a little maybe) after that time. Hannah thinks so too.
 
To sum up, I think this psalm is an appropriate summary of what happened since Germany till now.
 

Psalm 121

A Song of Ascents.
 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
   From whence comes my help?
 2 My help comes from the LORD,
   Who made heaven and earth.
 
I prayed to the Lord on that hill in Esslingen. There, God showed me how vast the skies and heavens are, how small man is, how even smaller my problem was. He is the God of the Universe the one who made heaven and earth so how big can a problem of a small person like me be to Him? He can surely handle it, so I can safely let Him handle it. I'm glad to say, He did indeed handle it very well. 
 
And now, with the upcoming exams, Children's Camp preparations, internship (pending) and finally SEP, it'll be another adventure with the Lord, and more things to blog about!
 
I can do all (all) all (all) things
Through Christ who strengthens me.
I can do all (all) all (all) things
Through Christ who strengthens me.
 
Go to school: all things,
Obey the rules: all things,
Keep my cool: all things,
Through Christ who strengthens me.
 
Make new friends: all things,
Give and lend: all things,
Make amends: all things,
Through Chirst who strengthens me.
 
I like this song. It helped me on monday when I was scared to face the next day. Loads of things to do, lessons till 8pm, so God encouraged me with this song. It's a kid's song but i like it. God helped me make new friends yesterday too.

God-given group members

 
Since the semester is drawing to a close, I should write about this:
 
I thank the Lord for giving me such nice ppl as group members. I thoroughly enjoy my time working with them. It's hard to imagine how a big group of 7 ppl can be such good friends. It must have been God's grace. All the experiments, survey collection, report typing was a joy. ( difficult to imagine isn't it? Most ppl hate doing projects, but I like it. That pretty much explains why I am studying Project and Facilities Management.)
 
~ Zhen Rui, Han Xiang, Yan Wen, Cindy, Jacelyn, Germaine, Dawn~
(PF2104 Mechanical and Electrical Systems group members)
 
And the other very enjoyable group:
~ Zhen Rui, Han Xiang, Yan Wen, Cindy, Adrian, Wan Theng, Stephanie, Dawn~
(PF2303 Material Technology group members)
It was such fun doing the expts with those ppl, esp brick-laying.
 
God truly is a gracious God who gave me such nice group members. I do hope one day they would come to believe in the living and loving God that I know.
 
 
 
 
 

Perfect God-devised timing

Didn't know why I had the feeling I must work on my reports.
Didn't know why I didn't want to have a nap.
Didn't know why my friends chose to stay in the comp lab to play games instead of going home.
 
But God knows why.
 
Here's the reason why.....
 
1:00pm Worked on our Mechanical and Electrical System project in the comp lab.
 
3:15pm Most of the work was completed.
 
3:30pm Went home, bought stuff for the p6 kids concert.
 
5pm: Reached home, took a bath, wanted to take a short nap but.... but had this feeling I mustn't.
 
5:15pm On the comp...took out my pencil box...fished around for my thumbdrive.
 
BUT IT'S GONE!! that precious small thing that contain loads of info is gone!
 
5:16pm Called Han Xiang( a fellow group member), who miraculously was still in the comp lab playing games and thus was able to retrieve my thumbdrive. Praise the Lord!
 
5:30PM HX left sch.
 
Do you see it now?
If I didn't follow that feeling and went to take a nap after my bath, I would not have realised I left my thumbdrive in sch until in the evening.
Also, if I were to start work a little later, HX would have gone home.
And if my friends didn't stay in school for almost 2 more hours to play games in the comp, they wouldn't have been there when I discovered my thumbdrive was lost.
 
Perfect God devised timing!
 
Praise the Lord! Thank Him for His care.
 
The thought that I was alone,
Broken down afraid
But You were there with me
