Yesterday, I learnt that we all are fools for something because of something else.
Today, I surrender my all.
When I'm weak, You are strong
You're my feet when I can't move on
You're the way in the dark
You're the whisper is inside my heart
I'm all for you...
I'm a fool for a living God because of virtue of who he is.

Yesterday was really awesome. Ushered for 12 hours straight. Madness. Stood up for 10 hours without sitting down. Even more madness. 1700 people squeezed in the auditorium. Ultimate madness. Dilan and Jessica were great to usher with.
10th year anniversary + Pastor How's birthday celebration? Ultimate crazy! F23 survived with Leona only during service. No one is indispensable in F23. All are important but it will still survive even if Nicholas is not there, even if Jordan is not there, even if Leona is not there, even if I'm not there. Even if all 4 of us are not there. I'm sure people like Wencong and Yili will rise up and really, if no one's indispensable, that really shows F23 is strong. Pastor Lia was wonderful at bringing back the retro songs. Journey of a Dream video was super powerful again. You will seriously never get tired of watching it.
Really enjoyed myself during the Pastor How celebration. Esmonde and the wonderguys and Phenomena's love story was really crazy. Livefeed is going to get killed by Daniel! Anyway, Star Wars was great and the choir did a good job too. Jordan and Nick were great at the lights! Kevin and Amy and the whole gang at live feed too.

Your grace is enough, more than I needAt your word I will believe
I wait for you, draw me near again
Let your spirit make me new
Your presence in me, Jesus light the way
By the power of your world
I am restored, I am redeemed
By your Spirit I am free
And I will fall at your feet
I will fall at your feet
And I will worship you here
Freely you gave it all for us
Surrendered your life upon that cross
Great is the love poured out for all
This is our God
Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Servant and King rescued the world
THIS IS OUR GOD
Everyday, when we wake up and get out of bed, we have a shot to change someone's life. .
Everyday, when we are on the cutting-edge, we either influence or get influenced.
Everyday, you have a choice to proof something to the world or you could keep that pure heart.
Sometimes, it's all about loving our God by virtue of who he is. We get renewed in his presence only to grow weary again. We get filled up by his wonderful love only need to be emptied again. Sometimes it's good to be naive rather than thinking too much. We aren't afraid of trying, failing, getting up again and trying and failing again. At least we're still pure and still in the abundance of our king. I've learnt to be like little children, just such simplicity and purity, and sometimes, we all have to learn this.
It's beautiful to wake up at 5am in the morning just to watch the sunrise. Child-like, I know. But then again, I'm not willing to think to much. Just trying to keep the simplicity and purity. Smiling and moving on. :)

People killing, people dying.Children hurting, hear them crying.
Do you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, father, father... Help us.
Send some guidance from above.
Because some people got me questioning.
Where is the love?
A new season in life. A new territory to conquer. A new freshness in perspective. A new devil to face.

Some live this life without a purpose.
Some live this life according to their talents.
Some live this life for a false purpose.
Some find this purpose, but fail to walk in it.
Some could have been great, some never would in the eyes of men nor God.
I might never be great, but I'll live this life for significance and not for success.
I'll be finding what I ought to do and I'll be doing what many have turned away from.
Read this on Ivan's tweet.
And simply, the cost of a leader:
CrisisComplexity
Betrayal
Loneliness
Weariness
Glory
I'll be paying it.

If you can use anything, won't you use me
Take me, break me, mould me, make meYou died for me so I'm living for you
If you were given a half-filled glass you could choose to:
1) Say it's half empty
2) Say it's half filled
3) Say you're going to fill it up
Like our circumstance, you could choose to accept it or you could choose to change it.

If not for loveIf not for grace
All the sin you'd erase
I will always have reason to praise
It's not by strength
It's not by might
But by the cross I'm justified
When all else falls away, Still I will praise
It's for freedom that Christ has set us free
I live for you and not for me anymore
And your mercy is new with every day
No longer will I forfeit grace
I'll follow you and live by faith
You have made a way for us
When you died upon the cross
Where would I be
If not for love
If not for grace
I know where I'm heading, do you?

No more running wildI'm yours for life
Well you got me here
Well you got me
I hear your call tonight
Your heart is mine
Well you got me here
Well you got me
Keep running back to
the cross,
the presence of God,
the ark of covenant,
the Holy of Holys,
the tabernacles of God.
Don't lose purity, don't lose focus, don't lose heart.
Say it once, say it again, say it a hundred times, say it a million times.
Enter a battle like a conquerer, end it like a victor.
God has given you the power and authority.
Be audacious. Be cutting-edge.
Be edified, be exhorted, be comforted.
Then smile and move on.
Life's not worth living unless you live your life.
Just keep running back...
I'm just crapping up here. My thoughts are all over the place. Argh.

I am a question to the worldNot an answer to be heard
Or a moment, that's held in your arms
And what do you'd think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway, you don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be
And what, did you you think you'd understand
I'm a boy, no I'm a man
You can't take me and throw me away
And how can you learn what's never shown
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me, 'cause I'm not here
And I want a moment to be real
wanna touch things I don't feel
wanna hold on and feel I belong
and how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me, 'cause I'm not here
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me
And I'm not afraid
And I, wanna tell you who I am
can you help me be a man
they can't break me
As long as I know who I am
And I want a moment to be real
wanna touch things I don't feel
wanna hold on and feel I belong
and how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me, well I'm still here
They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
yeah, the world is still sleeping
While I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers
And lies I'll never believe
And I want a moment to be real
wanna touch things I don't feel
wanna hold on and feel I belong
and how can they say I never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now, 'cause I'm still here
I'm still here...
Living on the cutting-edge is tough. It's real tough. But you'll be a fool to give it all up. You'll be a fool to sell your divine birthright. And in the end, I have convictions strong enough to make sure I'll still be here giving my best years of my life to God. The world can judge us but they don't see the things we see, now do they? Nor do they understand the undying passion to serve our King. The world can say we don't change but aren't they the ones that are still the same? They are still sleeping.
And in the end, their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe.
And in the end, I'm still here.
I've been thinking about life.
Does a $2 note mean anything significant to a millionaire? Probably not.
I realise how I've been living has been like this. Small unhappiness has come along the way and but those issues seem to no longer affect how I lead my life.
Expand our hearts. And now? Expand our thoughts.
Be bigger!
Philippians 3:14
I press towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
God is bigger then anything else in this world so seriously, why be affected by the little things? Lift the value of your living. Lift the value of your day. Lift the value of others.
