long awaited....

Just came back from KL. Went to collect my baby flynngie... and at the same time went to meet Cyn for lunch nearby her office. Its been a long time we haven't had lunch. Thanks Cyn for the lunch!
Anyway, I reached early so I went to Salvation (nearby her office) to wait for her. Going through some books on Relationship (tempting to buy but didn't), I grab a copy of Hillsong United latest album "Tear down the Walls". Cover was pretty interesting. Sticker was wrap around it and there isn't any lyrics in it. Hmm... trying to save tree & save printing cost ah! ^_^ To understand more bout why no lyrics... click here to read.
And I got myself a book too... not on Relationships but its a quite a good one too. The title of the book is "If I really wanted to be Happy I would..." *haha* Grab it from the discounted corner - cost RM11.90. Know what, I was really blessed by the cashier in Salvation. She was kind enough to give me a discount on the book & CD cos I asked her whether full-time Staff in Church got additional discount. Tell you the truth, I hardly buy books - its always CDs or DVDs. The only books that I buy are Archies. *haha* Guess God is telling me to buy this book.
The first page says, "If I really wanted to BE HAPPY I would... Laugh more - especially at myself."
Pro 17:22 (NRSV) says, "A cheerful heart is a good medicine."
"Laughter promotes good health, both in body and spirit. It not only brightens your mood but also eases tension. A good dose of laughter has been shown to improve blood circulation, stimulate digestion, lower blood pressure and prompt the brain to release pain-reducing endorphins. Laughter is also an expression of faith in God - it is the best response you can make to your own human frailties as you strive to live a happy life." Do something for your health today - LAUGH!

OK... finally... the long awaited one...

Friends & BB asked me what is baby flynngie? Why so secretive till they have to wait for me to post it on the blog or FB. ^_^ Must keep you guys in suspense ma... so you'll come check out my blog. *hehe*

Saturday 27, 09 - Worship Workshop

The Power of Creative Arts

Foundation 1 ==> Through Him
= John 1:3 (NKJV) - All things were made through Him, & without Him Nothing was made that was made.
= Col 1:16 (NKJV)
- God created the Visible and the Invisible.

Foundation 2 ==> For Him
= Col 1:16b-17 (NKJV) - All things were created through Him and For Him. And He is before all things and in Him all things consist.
= Rev 4:11 (KJV)
- All things were made for God's purpose and for God's pleasure.
- We need to redeem the sound that God has created.

The Power of Sound
- The visible and invisible sound.
- Sound is a form of energy, its made when air molecules vibrate and move in a pattern called waves.
Here they show us a video, where they uses sand to create patterns with the waves/frequency. It's really cool. Not sure whether you can YouTube to see the video... have to get the exact term for it. Will update on this later - need to look at the video again.

- All created matter has a unique sound. All created matter makes a sound and all created matter is a sound.

- Nothing exists but by the combination of force and movement but every movement generates a Vibration and therefore a sound that is peculiar to it. Everything has a sound. (Scientific journal)
Another video was being shown here. In don't know which year and don't know which country (will have to look back at the vid again), one of the bridge collapse by the constant marching, with the same vibration - it causes to shake.

- Frequency is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time.
- In summary: Speed that matter vibrates.
- Resonance is the intensification and prolongation of sound, its basically the sound that the frequency makes.
- Sound is an initiator, its NOT a creator but it is the creative process that God uses. God used sound to initiate creation. Sound is just a tool. Sound has creative power but it is not a creator itself.
- God is the Creator. Eze 43:2
= people tend to forget who the Creator is (God), and the worship the wrong one.
= Lucifer is the one who corrupted the music when God gone silent for 400yrs (during Bible times). That's where some songs has a different meaning when it played from the back.

1. You have a sound.
- Scientist has discovered DNA produces music. They call it genomic music.
- Its like your own blueprint... different human produces a different music.

Did you know that you don't hear just with your ears but you also hear with your bones!
- Psa 102:5; Pro 16:24; Pro 15:30

No wonder why sometime we get chilled through the bones when we listen to certain songs or songs that touches our heart... It gives you the goosebumps.

2. You have the Power
= Ps 89:15; Ps 118:15

- Entrainment => raised your voice in unity, you can break into the spiritual realm.
-- Occurs when the more powerful rhythmic vibration of 1 object when projected upon a 2nd object at the similar frequency will cause that object to begin to vibrate in resonance with the 1st object.
--- Entrainment happens when 2 or 3 are gathered in Christ Name.
---- Without Unity, we cannot break into God's realm... the spiritual realm.

Tribute to Michael...

Everyone is talking about Michael Jackson now and he somehow steal the limelight of Farrah Fawcett (like what people says). Looks like most of the famous legends all died at young age... people like Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, Leslie Cheung, Wong Kar Kui, Anita Mui (HK artistes), Sudirman (Msian artiste-great composer), the Classical composers (Beethoven, Mozart & etc), Elvis Presley (King of Rock & Roll) and who else... erm... I'm sure there's a few more which I can't think of.
Guess what, I've Google & Yahoo! search on Michael Jackson's photos... Can't seem to find the better picture of him. Only the ugly or the not so good ones. I personally thinks that there is a period of time (during his transition to become a white man), he does have one picture which I like the most. *see picture left or the one on the bottom*
I have no idea why people tend to talk bad or even show pictures of his ugly side... It's somehow not fair towards Michael.
I read on someone's Twitter (random), the person was saying that the kid who accused MJ for molesting him told a lie and got MJ sued (it was the kid's father who told his son to say it). It's all about the MONEY... just want to grab some out of it from him. *sigh* I guess the world feels guilty now of all the accusation being done over the passed 10yrs (??). Its really sad. Died so young - 50yrs old! Really unbelievable!
Just want to ask this question... (was watching his concert over the TV and heard these songs & thoughts came to me) "How many people really take these 2 songs seriously: Heal the World & Man in the Mirror?"
We usually sing it and go crazy over him, faint and scream our lungs out... What does the lyrics really mean to us personally? Did we really "heal the world to make it a better place for us & our children!?! Or did we really looked at ourselves in the mirror and say "we should be the one to change our ways, our doings to this earth!" Not being selfish or pride, not to steal, to kill or destroy this world where God created for us to live in!
Giving us the talents to serve His Kingdom (His=God's)!
It really strucked me when I began to sing the song Heal the World, tears just flown down. "Have you ever accomplished one thing to heal the world... to reach out to the poor... to share the gospel... or basically living without regrets cos you have done all of it."
To tell you the truth, I've reach out to the poor but I've not shared the gospel before. So does it mean I've accomplished what God has asked me to do. No! It takes the step of faith & boldness to do so. *which I'm lack off ^_^*
Come to think of it, life is indeed short! We must always live our lives to the fullest... so that we can tell God that we have accomplish our task! Amen!

What inspires YOU?

Attended a Worship Training on June 20-21, 09 (Sat & Sun) by this group called 1 a.m (One Accord Ministry). Do visit their website to check them out.

On Saturday is more of teaching bout The Heart of Worship.

Fact#1
Worship is the activity of the human soul.
>> We are made to worship.

Fact#2
What/Who we worship is not defined by what we say but how we live.
>> What you value most can be tracked by the trails of your affection, devotion, allegiance (loyal), passion, time, investments & etc...
>>> At the end of every trail is a THRONE
>>>> What you really worship is on that throne. That is your treasure.
>>>>> Matt 6:21 - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

It's so true. We must choose the right "god" to worship. They showed us a video, an interview with Michael Jackson (super long time ago) and from the video you can see the people are crazy for him... they cried, they shout, they faint just for MJ. Nobody taught them how to worship MJ, it just comes out naturally from the heart, pure worship but then... to the wrong person. To them, they are devoted, allegiance towards MJ... we as Christians should do the same way (not to MJ of course!) to be devoted, allegiance to God who created us.

As for Sunday, its more of workshop... training. What makes Worship Inspiring?

Fact#1
Faith makes worship inspiring.
>> Rom 10:17; Matt 17:20

Then we were split into groups of 2 to share on this scripture Isaiah 61:1-2. Share what this scripture speaks to us.

And then we were to again split into groups of 2, with someone that you're not familiar with. This is to train us how to listen and ask God for a picture to symbolise of your partner. Then we need to draw that picture out and pass it to the person you team up with. So I team up with D. We prayed to God for a visual for each other. D drew a picture of a huge tree with heartshape apples on it. I have to share with him bout the picture - what it speaks to me. My interpretation was to be fruitful and strong. D's interpretation was similar, but the heartshape apples were to have the passion and be strong in God.
As for the picture I drew for D was a frame (without picture in it, dunno how to draw people). ^_^ So later I add on some stickmans. D's interpretation was a puzzle, some puzzle missing. D guess correct. I told him its like something missing... coz' of the empty frame. God will fill in the missing pieces. ^_^

This is a good practice that everyone can learn. Not exactly 2 by 2 - it can be done with a group. This was actually taught by the Bethel Church. When they gather together in a group to asked God for a visual and everyone has to draw something to put into a puzzle. Kel (frm 1 a.m), shared with us one testimony from one of the Singapore Church (they did the same thing as Bethel Church). Some drew a pictures of traffic light, flower, a pregnant lady and so on. Then these people would walk around the neighbourhood to search for traffic light with flower and also a pregnant lady... true enough - they saw a pregnant lady walking pass. They talk to her and showed her the picture they drew. Someone picked up that her baby was in trouble... true enough, she had some problem with the baby so they prayed for her.
And another testimony happen in Bethel Church was about a man who has a problem with his right calve and its hard for him to walk. Someone drew very accurately bout his right calve, torn ligament. Just as they pass the picture to this guy, before they even prayed for him he receive his healing, no pain at all.
Wow!!! As I was listening to Kel sharing it... I was touched. It takes boldness and a step of faith to act it out.
They even shared a video about a lady got healed in the supermarket when someone from Bethel Church prayed for her. God's presence was so strong, the cashier made an announcement with the speaker phone saying that "God's presence is here, anybody wanna receive healing now!" Simultaneously a man was jumping for joy in the supermarket and so on.

Who says God can't do miracles on the spot!!! It's really an eye opener.

Fact#2
Excellence makes worship inspiring.
>> 2 Cor 4:7-10
>>> At the end, we do not stand by any man's excellence, but by the singular excellence of God brought out by the truth of the Gospel.

Fact#3
Unity makes worship inspiring
>> Ps 133:1 - Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in Unity!
>> Eph 4:1-13

I can't wait for the part 2 of this Worship Training which is on 27 & 28 June. Share more next week... ciao!!!

Feeling stupid...

Have you ever felt stupid in your life? I'm sure everyone does... in different area.

Last couple of weeks ago, my mom decided to clean one of my green cupboard which contains all my Galaxie magazines, Dragon Ballz comic books, and cassette tapes of my favourite artistes... and of course with some personal stuff like journal and so on. So mom told me to clear out the stuff and try to recycle those magazines.

Yeah! I did. Finally given up on all that posters & magazines of the "idols" that I've been collecting since teenage and also the lyrics that I've compiled as my own song book collection (lyrics cut out from Galaxies). 

I've come acrossed this blue diary with all the contacts and stuff that I wrote... it's dated on 1995 (when I was in Form 3). Silly stuff has been written in it, you know, things that all naive and teenage girls would do. Things about who she bump into at McD's or at Mamak stalls, who she hangs out with and so on. It got me smiling as I read it - it's really silly. Oh! And things like who I've spoken with over the phone for hours by just talking craps and hangs up the phone at 3am. Those were the days! Being the naughty one but shy on the other hand. *haha* I remembered how I always wanted to mix with naughty students cos that's where you'll look cool and you get to meet some leng chai's (1-2 years my seniors). Unfortunately, the people that I mixed with somehow don't accept me. Cos they see the goody girl in me... *haha* but they still let me hang around but not in the so called "gang" thingy.

Talking bout phones call and all... I've tried staying up late just to wait for someone's call and yet that person didn't call up at all. Feeling disappointed and guess what... I cried! Oh gosh! How naive and how... *speechless* Those were the days... really! 

What am I writing these for...?!?! Hmmm.. I have no idea... Just want to release some "silly me" out to my blog. Shame the devil maybe!

Gosh! How different it's like when you don't have God in your life!?! Imagine I didn't attend the Church that I'm attending now... I can't imagine how my life would look like now. Still wandering in the wilderness - maybe. At least when there's hiccups in my life now, I know where to turn to and to ask for guidance. Only God knows our inner self, our heart... all He ask for was to surrender all our desires, our passion, our ALL to Him and He will do the rest.

Well, talking of course its easier than doing it... cos' its like ages and we tend ignore the timing that God has set for us. God's timing may not always fits our schedule.

Argh!!! I don't know what else to say... I'm really speechless now. Can't continue my blog... guess there's no ending to this blog. Just purely releasing my anger. Damn!!! How can people be so insensitive!!!

Sorry God!!! Just can't help myself. Don't seem to have any more patience in me. You know what I mean... Just feeling tired! I'm all out!

Anyway, I'm still awake... (1:30am) watching Lady and the Tramp.. part 1 and part 2 on YouTube. Just finish part 2, it got my crying... being stubborn doesn't help to solve problem. Family is always the right place to be in. Just like the parables of the Prodigal Son.

Guess I'm talking crap now... if this blog doesn't make any sense to you... it's OK. It's not meant for you then...

A good teacher....

You are indeed a good teacher
You taught me lots of stuff
When I first started off as a learner
You taught me well enough to be able to support myself in some ways
but at times I still need some guidance from you
And yet you do not hesitate to teach or to guide me through it
Such a humble servant of God, I see it through your gestures
You do everything with a smile even though you may not like it at times
but you still summit to the leader of yours

Words just couldn't express how much we gonna miss you...
Your friendly smile and gestures...
Your humbleness to serve others first than yourself...
Your Cambodian coffee that we gonna miss...
Your laughter... and the Joy that you bring...

All I want to say from the bottom of my heart is...
I still have alot to learn from you...
And I'm gonna miss working with you
And someone who I sometimes can depend on or to share with...
It's my pleasure to be able to work with you for 10 years now...

I pray that God will bless you abundantly and to give you little ones to nurture and to grow to love God more. Amen!

Healer is He...

The time now is 11:15pm, Thursday.
I was very reluctant to go online at this time, just had my showers and thinking that I should just read Archie's and wait for my BB to call me around 12am (or probably snooze in after my hot shower ^_^).
Just after showering, this thought came to me, "Since I'm afraid to share out testimonies in front of others, why not I just share it out in my blog?". But the laziness tends to give excuse not to testify of God's work and to give glory to Him through this IT generation.

So, I actually have 2 testimonies to share here.

First was about my dog Yuki. Who has been with me for "God knows how long" *haha* I think she's been with us maybe more than 9years. She had an accident few years back, just in front of my house. Someone left the gate open and she went out for a walk across my house. Its my fault cos' I called her name loudly inside my house and she came running back home and *bang* the car came and knocked her. I was speechless at that moment and I rush out to looked at her and hoping that she's fine. True enough she looks fine and my mom quickly called my brother to come down and fetch Yuki to go see the nearest Vet. Thank God that my brother is around and to cut the long story short... Yuki recovered after a few days at the Vet. Well, that's not the testimony that I wanted to share actually. *hehe* This happened like 2 weeks ago. Out of a sudden I noticed that Yuki doesn't look OK to me cos' all she does is lie on the same spot. I was abit worried, thinking whether is she going to die? Cos' she looks weak. I found out that one of her hind legs was numb and she couldn't like walk much. I sat next to her one night (just before I go to sleep), I wanted to cry as I pet her head. I told God not to take her away, not now! So I prayed for her hind legs to be strenghtened and removed that numbness on her legs. I rebuke it in Jesus' Name. I prayed for her hind legs for 2 nights and after that I totally forgot bout it. Then the next day (after the 2nd prayer), she could walk around but in a slower steps and guess what... Yuki was wagging her tail so hard when she saw me came back after work. I was really happy seeing her walking around. Really Praise God for it, for healing her hind legs. ^_^

As for my 2nd testimony, this happens to me. Just one week before my Church Camp (camp was on Jun 5), I went to Penang on May 29 (Fri afternoon). Supposed to go to a Pastor's house for lunch and then head straight to 1 Utama after that cos' I'm departing from 1 Utama. The day before Friday, I had fever and abit of bodyache. I thought of taking panadol and go straight to bed but I didn't take the panadol... thought I'll be fine in the morning after my sleep. Well, I'm wrong! My body was aching like crazy and body was hot. I keep telling myself that I mustn't take leave cos' I haven't finish my work yet. So off to work and I took 2 panadols after my breakfast. Thinking to myself that I'll be alright and I can stick to my plan. When the time draws nearer to 12noon, and my colleagues where like informing us to meet downstairs at 12noon. I was really in bad shape. I told my colleague that I couldn't make it for the lunch (Pastor's wife cook Nasi Lemak, how to eat!!!) and help to apologize on my behalf. I felt so terrible and I quickly finish off my work within that 2 hours. I don't have the appetite to eat at all. I have to forced myself to eat some bread before I take another 2 panadol to sleep when on the bus. My fever gone up like crazy, I could feel my whole body was burning hot. I reached Penang around 8:30pm and my BB take me out for dinner. Told him I don't have appetite, so went to eat fish porridge. Couldn't even finish the porridge... and I had to forced my BB to help me finished it. Sorry ya BB!
Reached his house and went to shower... body temperature is still high. So my BB keep pestering me to see the doctor. So I went and the doc said I have high fever. "Gosh! 38. something leh" The next day, I had a very bad sore throat. After shower I went to check my throat using my mobile torch light and a mirror. I was SHOCKED!!! I had tiny ulcers on both my lips, and some medium and tiny size ulcers all over my throat...! I couldn't eat much and all I ate was soup stuff and again I have to force my BB to eat mine as well. I feel bad lor! The worst thing was, I still went for durians on Sat when my BB already planned a double date with his colleague. Don't want to spoil his plan, so I agreed to eat a little bit only. *haha* Amazing right! Ulcers all over my mouth and I still go for durians... people think I'm crazy. After seeing my throat this bad, I layed hands on my throat and command the ulcers to go and asked God to heal me. I was abit scared and worried. Afraid that I might need to go hospital for check up and so on. The next day comes, guess what I saw... not healing on my throat but a few spots on my fingers. At first I thought it was some allergy towards the doctor's medicines cos' so far I haven't had this problem at all. My BB encouraged me to drink more yogurt, probably I'm allergic to some stuff which I don't know or maybe the medicines. The spots getting more and more on my fingers and also my toes. This got me worried again and my faith somehow drop down. But after awhile I prayed and lays hands on my throat to rebuke the ulcers and moving my fingers towards the red spots on my hands and toes. Ask God for healing and remove every bit of it. My fever came on and off for that 2 days, but we still manage to watched 2 movies in 2 days. *haha*
I was feeling much better on Sunday and Monday but my red spots still there. I came back to PJ on Monday night and Tuesday I'm back to work. I was abit worried again on the red spots on my fingers and toes, so I sms my colleague telling them I'm going to see doc in the morning. Waited for almost an hour in the clinic, the nurse called my name, went into the GP office have to wait again cos' she had to answer an important call... so waited for another 10mins. Finally she came, and asked "Good morning! What can I do for you? What's your problem?" I showed her my fingers, told her I had red spots on my toes as well. I asked whether is it allergy. Know what she said...? "Oh this ah... Its Hand, Foot, Mouth disease" My jaw dropped! I replied her saying, "Huh!". I was hoping she said its allergy and say "I give you some cream and you can go home." But nope! She asked, "Do you have ulcers and difficult in eating?". I said "Yes!" and showed her my lips and throat. She tested my temperature and said I still have abit of fever. I was still numb in hearing the word HFM... don't know what or how to ask her regarding this disease. She asked me, "Do you have any kids at home that has this disease?" I told her my niece so happen had fever one week ago and my nephew also had fever on Fri (the day I left for PG). So she made a comment saying, "You probably got affected by your niece and nephew without you knowing."
I couldn't take any leave cos' last week was a busy week - Church camp within 4 days. I layed hands on my throat and my fingers and toes... pray against this sickness to leave and prayed that it won't spread and stop at where it is. Cos' I'll be facing more children and old people at camp. Don't want it to spread to others. The day draws nearer... guess what... ulcers is all gone and the red spots too. I was so happy and thank God for the speedy recovery.
I guess we should all leave our worries aside and replace it with FAITH and to trust God to do miracles. The camp speaker did mention that sometimes healing takes a few days to see results and some may have immediate healing. Its all depend on your faith and prayers.
How much can you TRUST and BELIEVE that He can DO ALL things... ?
He is a God of Possibilities! Amen!!!
