I know I am supposed to be asleep by now because I need to wake up by 6:30am later.
I know I am tired, but I just can't get to sleep.
Haha.
I am just in awe.
Of today's service.
Of today's message.
Of today's praise & worship.
Of hearing Pastor share.
Of seeing Daniel doing announcements.
Of Zone F growing and rising up.
Of people rising up to take the burden.
Of D7.
Of the real godly men and women in it.
Of the army guys.
Of what is to come.
I told God today...even if it tires me, I am going to run, run, run. Growing the kingdom of God, doing the things of God is never an easy thing. It requires strength, faith, determination, heart.
It is going to be a xiong year next year. I can just see it. 5 core modules, work assignments, ministries, events, people work, training sessions, meetings, and if possible, me driving around in Yishun...
...but I can't wait.
Of course, it also means I must starting preparing my life now.
Building that commitment.
Building that capacity.
Building that strength.
KC is gonna grow.
Army is gonna grow.
A generation of real godly men and women whose hearts are constantly turned towards the next generation.
I can't wait for my examinations to end next Wednesday.
TOTAL FREEDOM.
Back in ministries, back in action.
I am already meeting up with my pTLs and planning follow-ups. And Dawnie is going to put me on projection duty next weekend.
HAHA.
On a few last notes before I go rest (and claim health in the name of Jesus!), I am so happy to see Merrilyn back, see Joyce...and I know I will see Ori soon, with Joan and Samantha Chan.
I CAN'T WAIT.
The D7 chefs countdown.
Haha Merri bought me this awesome Liverpool suit. Jersey complete with shorts.
We ate at Joyce's mother's stall which has great fish soup.
And Joan and I discovered a common interest. (: (:
Oh yeah. I want to change my blogskin, my room, and sort out my laptop documents.
And I want a MACBOOK and iPOD.
I am going to 4D them.
A MacBook has 320GB worth of hard disk. Imagine the number of things I can put in. I can hold in the testimonies and photos of ALL the schools in Singapore and still have space to play The Sims 3.
Life is awesome.
Can't wait to be back in action.

It is really weird, how someone you grew up with can suddenly be such a stranger to you.
Same roots, different vision, different lifestyle, different outlook of life...
I think real men can afford to be more vocal. Hah. I have no idea why they hide things the way they do, and then pour it out on a world wide blog.
BUT, I guess, in a way, at least it is an alternative.
So I finally found my brother's blog after his numerous attempts to hide it from me. Haah! Never under-estimate the power of curiosity of an elder sister. (:
Somehow, reading his posts placed this burden in my heart...
He has really grown up. Haha. It's not just a parents thing man, but also an elder sibling kinda stuff.
And in a way, I am pretty proud of him. I never knew he could write so well (:
I definitely need to spend more time with him, loving him and everything else.
Salvations in this house, o God.Joshua 24:14-1514 "Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

Wow! What a powerful week! (:
It is another level in every, single way.
I want to be like Pastor Kong, Pastor How and Pastor Lia (:
Men and woman of God.
Seeking the Kingdom, always.
Haah.
It is so peculiar. The leadership of the world, and the leadership in His House.
Right here in His House, it is never about me.
I will be more than willing to continue to work hard and sow in the background, just to see you and you and you know Him just as I know Him.
Coming back to Him...
Coming back to the basics...
Back then, I was a babe in Christ...faithfully sitting in one corner of my room doing my QT quietly to Him...talking to Him...
I can just imagine that that was how David used to spend his time with God. Out in the fields, while the sheep were grazing...he was there...sitting on a rock...lying on the grass...just talking to God, being in awe of Him, loving Him, worshipping Him.
Four years later, here I am. Same routine, same grind, same God, but a deeper love.
But not deep enough.
Pastor Kong said that as he walks more with God, he spends more time with Him.
I need to do that, even more. Much much more.
More of Him, less of me.
More of Him, less of me.
More of Him, less of me.
(:
