X'mas Celebration @ BPC

The Christmas celebrations in Bethany Presbyterian Church (BPC) has been improving each year! In terms of decoration, performance, songs, atmosphere, food and people are getting better and better. And of course, glory be onto You!

I was really glad that my friends from SP wushu turn up today despite of the heavy rain. I was so happy to see them when I met all of them at Kovan station. Had some hearty chat while waiting for the rest. When all reached, I brought them to the same bus stop where I came from BPC and we took bus 80 and went to hougang.

Yup hougang. Not Upper paya lebar. I led all of them and took the bus at the wrong direction! Shame of me then.. Can u believe I have been going to BPC for more than a decade and still go the wrong way. Haha.. Kept apologising to all who followed me unknowingly till we reached Church nearly 1/2 hour late. If not they will be on time.

But nevertheless, I thank God for the whole event. It was a wonderful night where many people found their true Home. It was a touching scene when one raise up his/her hand to accept Christ. A simple action by raising up one's hand determines where they'll spend their Eternity.

Praise the Lord!

Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. (Psalm 126:5)

So far!

Things have been going quite well in the course I am under training currently. Really thank God for that. 2 weeks just flew pass with another 2 more to go before I get posted to another unit and subsequently, another 7 weeks of training before I can at least be a junior specialist instructor.

Faith, Love, Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding and Courage I prayed about have been increasing bit by bit as the days goes by and I really thank God for it and those who have prayed for me.

This is the third training course I have attended so far since my army enlistment in April. Having been in army for 8 months did improve my physical abilities but what about my spiritual life? I am wondering if I have grown closer to Him since then. The food I ate spiritually is definitely lesser than that of what I have consumed physically. Perhaps, I can say my spiritual conduct is still not as good as my physical.

Other side issues have also been getting on in my mind concurrently. Things that are not meant to be shared yet remains as a burden that I am carrying daily. The loads have been becoming heavy lately. Diverting the load to Him seems so common and that is why I am able to have a smiley face daily. Unlike the old me who used to have a fierce look and anti-social attitude – perhaps in some way, I am still like this. Lol.

Haha.. Putting in one’s shoe is one of the powerful lessons that the Lord taught me and that is why I can understand one’s feeling without expressing it externally. Perhaps that’s my weak point – the ability to express myself. Peeling myself slowly with Time is one of my resolutions in the coming year and I hope that the fruit inside the many layers will be as sweet as honey.

I am still consider bitter for now I think – haven’t ripe yet.. HAHA!!

Oh ya! I have finally passed my Basic Driving Theory! … after 3 tries. Duh! ~ You can laugh at me but I tell you that I passed because of faith and not because I have studied. I lacked of faith in passing for the previous tries and that’s why I failed without knowing the reasons then.

Really happy today not because I did it on my own but also of the knowledge and understanding I prayed about with the help of the Holy Spirit! Thank God. Although it’s nothing to be happy about but this is a testimonial for Christ showing that having faith in passing before the test is not just a thought but a future action that you put yourself in your future shoes.

I celebrate my results by applying for the subsequent driving practicals and final theory lessons which in turn cost me an atomic bomb! Man.. I am both sadden and excited for the costs and the first practical driving next week respectively. When I got my license in time to come, I am going to use it to glorify You!
