PERVADING AURA

Faces and hands, all tilted
Upwards
And raised.
Eyes closed, lashes brushing
Cheeks shining with glory.
There is nothing else,
Nothing else;
Except the lilt of voices,
The music-box notes
Of an instrument, far away.
A rushing wind, a sound from heaven
Only spirits can hear and feel;
Only destiny can encapsulate.

Explosion,
Like light shattering into glitter,
Gentle softness floating down.
Turning into fire;
Into power, into love.
GoldshimmersparkleGLORY.
It permeates the air;
It fills the atmosphere.
And I’m on my knees
In awe, in silence
In worship.
Bathed in molten honey;
Bathed in faith and love.

Pervading aura;
Strong enough to hold the heavens,
Soft enough to touch my heart
And hold it in nail-scarred hands,
Just to love me some more.
And give me wings to fly;
Fly beyond, fly away.

And I’m standing alone;
Alone in the presence of
My King, my Father.
Even if all the world
Turns to dust,
Still my heart is on the altar;
Sold out for Him.
Jesus; I’m in love with You.

i love this poem. there is so much heart to it. fedora, you are a great writer for Jesus! Believe me, you are one. Though I'm not a lit student, but when I read this poem, it paints a beautiful image in my mind.

the majesty..
the presence..
the glory..,
the light..
the holiness of God.
Hands lifted high.
Hearts bared,
And laid on the altar of sacrifice.

...even if all the world turns to dust, still my heart is on the altar. sold out for Him...

Forevermore,
Joanne

The joy of the Lord is my strength!
It is this smile and this joy that breaks off chains that bind!
This joy that I have..the world didn't give and the world can't take it away!
Jesus, I'm Yours evermore!

FIRST LOVE

SHe's gone. She left me for another man.
She left me for someone who loved her more than I did, gave her more than I could ever think of giving her, and loved her in ways that I could never even think of, much less imagine.

Right in front of me, while I stood there next to her, she would tell Him how much she loved Him. It never bothered her for people to know of her love for Him. Openly and overtly she would tell anybody and everybody about her "First Love."

She cared for me, told me so, but if He called she would leave me and go to Him for as long as He wanted to be with her. There were times in her last few months when she would longingly call unto Him, wanting to be with Him, all the time knowing that I understood.

Hers was a lifetime love affair with Him. I could never compete with Him and didn't even try. She loved Him passionately, and I was never jealous, because I realized it helped her love me with passion.

At times, I would suddenly come upon her in her secret place loving Him, and I would tip toe away so as not to interfere with their relationship. He came first, and I gladly and willingly accepted my role. Her "First Love" really really came first in every sense of the word.

She would read His love letters to her, which He had written in a book, and would quote passages to me. I wrote her love letters, but mine seemed so anemic and weak compared to His. Only when I quoted some of His passages did they seem to take on life and meaning.

There was never a day in her life when she did not meet with Him, and there were times when she spent hours with Him, telling Him about people's needs who wrote asking for help. People she never met, probably never would meet, but she knew He cared, so she would tell Him all about their neds asking for His help.

She spent time, sharing the most intimate details of her life with Him, things she never told me and never would. She told me He understood her. There were a few times she felt as though she had left her "First Love" and would weep over the distance, and plead for a return to that precious intimacy she had with Him. It seemed she couldn't live without it. It never lasted long, but even a day seemed like an eternity without her being with Him.

She told me last night, as I held her in my arms, that she was going to leave me before Christmas. I cried so hard she could hardly comfort me. I learned to trust her completely, totally, and when she said that, I knew she knew. It hurt. But not as much as she was hurting, from a disease that never knew a friend, and facing death that never knew a stranger. She assured me her "First Love" had conquered all her enemies. He gave her His word that He would never leave nor forsake her, and He kept His word. Having loved her, He loved unto the end!

The name of her "First Love" is JESUS!
She was called the "Loveliest Lady in the Land," because she was a lady of love. All who knew her loved her, and those she knew, she loved. Without doubt, she was one of - if not the - greatest lover in the world.

- Late Dr. Ed Cole

This is one essay which Late Nancy Corbett's husband, Late Dr Ed Cole wrote after his belove wife passed away.

The first time I got this article from Pastor Lia, i pondered.
What will be the one thing which I treasure the most, is the most precious to me and will remember till the day I go Home?
Immediately an answer was confirmed in my heart.
It's these intimate moments which I spent with the Lord everyday.
Loving Him and enjoying my time in the sweet presence of the Lord.

I remembered an ordinary in a teen cell camp, I cried many tears after worshipping God and dweling in His presence. It was my first deep encounter with God. He gave me a promise which I will never ever forget and will always be in my heart. "Never will I leave you and never will i forsake you, Joanne. I love you." At that point of time, it's more than just hearing some "touching words", but it's a life time commitment from God. He love me, even until the day I meet Him in Heaven. He is my First Love and I will never want to leave my First Love. Never ever. God is committed to me and I to Him. Anything can change, but God's love for me will never change. That is why He is my Father and my First Love.

love and fear Him, Joanne

Life has never been the same ever since Jesus stepped into my life.
It's so full of challenges, filled with surprises and some incidents which really made me dig deeper into my heart, change and be the best lady whom God wants me to be.

Lord, I'm longing to bring something that's of worth that will bless Your heart. -smile-

love Him. love others. love joanne.

2005-09-30T02:03:00.000+08:00

You'll love what you love.Whatever you give your heart to is what you'll gain pleasure from.Whatever the heart loves it wants more of.The heart is not satisfied with what it loves.Thus we need to ensure that what we love is the highest.If we love small valueless things, that's what we will get our kicks from.This is why we must choose what we love, high, great things.What we love must be the highest priorities of life.'Love the Lord your God with all your heart....,' (Mark 12:30)

love Him. love others. love joanne.

I received two sermons today, both from my Pastors.
So great that that it keeps me thinking about it even till now.

This morning, I learnt about "The Value of A Day". Our lives are numbered. We cannot live our lives only on big days. Make today count and you'll have a great life. Whatever you are committed to, do it with all your might. It is our attitude towards an ordinary day that determines the value of the day. Today is the best day! Do something significant today! Faith is for now. Living my life day to day and making each day significant!

Another great sermon preached by Pst Lia in the Youth Service.
STRENGTH.
God is calling for strength to come out of His servant. If we want to serve God, we've got to be strong! Greater capacity! I was reading the Spirit-Filled Bible yesterday, the book of Joshua and something just hit my heart. It says..."We cannot help what we see and hear, but our refusal to speak doubts and fear will keep our hearts more inclined to what God can do rather than to what we cannot." What do I say to myself? What does God says about me? - speak the Word of God everyday. Have faith.

Point 3 was awesome! Pluck out those noisy things from your heart. They hold you back. You have no time to think about these things. There are greater and more important things to do for God! Step out of the "self" world and move into our high call in God - to know Him more and more.

Lord, let my heart be so pure and true to You.
The future is amazing!

love Him. love others. love joanne.

2005-08-24T02:56:00.000+08:00

I was on for Resonance [Sat] & Phenomena [Sun].
It's phenomenal! The presence and the anointing of God was so strong...
Even I, who was on stage, felt the presence of God coming in waves.
I just love Him so much. Forever I will be true to You, Lord.

You are my God, my life and my all.
More than what this world offers.

love Him. love others. love joanne.

2005-08-19T11:01:00.000+08:00

Over the moutains and the sea
Your river runs with love for
And I will open up my heart
And let the Healer set me free

I'm happy to be in the Truth
And I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing
of when Your love came down

I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever

Oh, I feel like dancing
It's foolishness I know
But when the world has seen the light
They will dance with joy
Like we're dancing now

love Him. love others. love joanne. =P

2005-08-15T01:19:00.000+08:00

The fear of God moves us.
While love draws us to God, it is fear that keeps us from sins.
It is not enough just to love God, leaders must fear God.

Lord, help me to fear You more.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom.

David and Goliath

In the natural it appeared to be an unwinnable battle. So how do we win an unwinnable battle? What do you do when everything appears to be impossible?

The experience of David gives us the answer. All of his young life was spent tending sheep, hours and hours each day, just staring at sheep. Do you know what shepherders do? Practically nothing. They sit on a hillside with the sheep for days - even months - with little to occupy their time.

It was there that little David learned to play the harp and to use a slingshot. In those quiet times he also learned to communicate with God.

When is the last time you spent time alone with the Lord?

Over the years, especially since living in New York, I have spent many lonely nights in a hotel room just looking out the window all night long. As difficult as the past few years have been, I feel closer to the Lord than I ever have because of the time I have been forced to be alone - thinking, praying and reading God's Word.

Winning an unwinnable batle requires that we ve nurtured in solitude. I'd like to tell you there is an easier way, but there isn't. If you want to win a battle, you first need to get alone with God. It's not easy. If anybody knows that, it's me. But it has to be.

David's faith was not only nurtured in solitude, but it was also strengthened in conflict. He knew what the Lord had done for him in the past, and he was more than ready to face the giant.

Saul asked him, "What qualifies you to go out and fight? You're a nobody." Remember what David said.

"I fought a bear once, and I beat him. I fought a lion once, and I beat him too." As far as David could see, this giant was just another fight.

This whole story was not just as big a miracle, as we sometimes make it out to be. You see, most of us hate the battles. Me too. But if you run from one, you just keep running. The when the giant of your life comes - and it will - you're going to go under. You won't make it. You have no battle experiences. You have nothing to draw from.

The lion and the bears in my life may come in many forms: rejection, sickness, heartbreak, tragedy - you name it. But walking through such trials is how we get out battle experience.

God doesn't give you strength for the battle. He gives you strength from the battle. We want it the other way around. It doesn't work that way.

Don't run from the battles. Stand there and square off. There really isn't anything that can be thrown at me anymore that can destroy me. I've fought a few lions and bears, and a giant too. And by God's grace I won.

The Final Test of Faith

When David stepped on the battlefield, he had nowhere to hide. He was just a small shepherd challenging a monster. But when David spoke, his words were not of weakness but of God's strength. He said to the Philitine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of thr armies of Israel, whom you have defied".

We all know how the dramatic story ends. David reached into his pouch and took out a stone.

This was David's final test of faith. His faith had been nurtured in solitude and strengthened in conflict, but it was proven in hopelessness.

David knew his answer was not in his slingshot. If he had been certain of his ability to use it, he would have taken only one stone instead of five. The young shepherd ad no illusions regarding his own power. He was completely reliant on the Almighty.

When the situation is hopeless, there is only one place to turn. As the psalmist wrote: "I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust' ". Even when it looks like it's over, it ain't over till it's over.

Our Future, God's Past

I'm not one to be pedantic about semantics. I hear Christians raising high alarm over small issues. I decided a long time ago to major on the majors, not the minors. A good preacher does not give valuable time in the pulpit to inconsequential subjects. That's like a lion chasing a mouse. However, there is one point that, although small, contains great importance. It's to do with the "tense" of our statements. If we have received a thing before we have received it, then from that point we refer to it as something that has already taken place in the past tense. In Romans 4:17 Paul quotes the Genesis record of God speaing to Abraham. The Lord says,"I have made you the Father of many nations". Now this statement was well before Abraham and Sarah had even conceived.

They were both "well stricken in years" and well past the age of child bearing. However, we are told that Abraham believed God. He could easily have said to God; "You haven't made me a father of anything yet. You might be going to, but as it stands right now I'm not aware that I'm anyone's father." God was speaking in the past tense. Again let me state that faith is a time rebel. It doesn't live in today. It makes tomorrow's dream today's realities. God lives beyond time. He can see the beginning and the end all at once. He is the beginning and the end. The Alpha and the Omega. The first and the last. Time is a creation of God. One day there will be no more time. It will pass away. God is the end of time. From God's perspective, your future is HIs past. He already knows the beginning from the end. He is fully aware of all the things that will happen in your life in the future. He knows all the things He will do for you in the future. However, as far as He is concerned, He has already done it. It's history to God. So He can say, "I have done such and such." It may be beyond our current circumstances and be difficult to conceive of such thing ever happening. But this was exactly the case in Abraham's world. He believed what God said to him and began to relate to his wife and himself in this way. He could easily see himself as the father of a multitude because God had said that He had already done it.

This is my favourite song for this season. Yong Hui recommended it to me.^^
Thanks Yong Hui! haha. It speaks so much about a person's life.

Listen to this song and let it speak to you! haha.

POINT OF GRACE
Words and Music by Lowell Alexander

Along life's road
There will be sunshine and rain
Roses and thorns, laughter and pain
And 'cross the miles
You will face mountains so steep
Deserts so long and valleys so deep
Sometimes the Journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember
I want you to know

You will never walk alone
As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
And you may feel you're far from home
But home is where He is
And He'll be there down every road
You will never walk alone

The path will wind
And you will find wonders and fears
Labors of love and a few falling tears
Across the years
There will be some twists and turns
Mistakes to make and lessons to learn
Sometimes the journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember wherever you may go

Jesus knows your joy, Jesus knows your need
He will go the distance with you faithfully

love Him. love others. love joanne.

A poem I read from a book - Hind's Feet On High Places

Set me as a seal upon thine heart
Thou Love more strong than death
That I may feel through every part
Thy burning, fiery breath
And then like wax held in the flame,
May take the imprint of thy Name.

Set me a seal upon thine arm
Thou Love that bursts the grave,
Thy coals of fire can never harm,
But only purge and save.
Thou jealous Love, thou burning Flame,
Oh, burn out all unlike thy Name.

The floods can never drown thy Love,
Nor weaken thy desire,
The rains may deluge from above
But never quench thy fire.
Make soft my heart in thy strong flame,
To take the imprint of thy Name.

love Him always.

2005-07-20T13:44:00.000+08:00

I'm back! =P
Haha. My school has started and tons of projects are piling up.

Wrote my very FIRST essay after one year. Felt so good.
My style of writing has changed too. I shocked myself with my essay. haha.
Anyway, school is great...met so many friends. My class is not too bad afterall.
There's still a joker in class. Quite a handful of international students.
It's a fun class! My lecturers are great too! Just two...Uday & Gnanamary! haha.
They are homework givers. Their assignments comes in tons! haha.

I love my life.
I'm growing. Team is growing. Church is growing. My life is in order.
I'm amazed by the transformation..God is AMAZING!!!
I love Him so much, but He loves me more than I could ever love Him.

Just amazed by so many things..

Youth broke through 300!

my team is growing week after week. Souls are saved and added into the Kingdom of God. So many Cedar Girls'! Rani, Amanda, Ying Fang, Suria, Jolene...and Jomain our little princess! Team hit 8 last week. From 2 to 8 in 2 months! GOD, YOU'RE AMAZING!!!

Fedora is rising up! Rani is also coming up another level spiritually! All getting serious for God!

All my new friends in school! Stay tuned...

Ahh... haha. Life is incredible with Christ in me!
What more can I ask for?

Thank you, Lord. ^^

John 14:21(NIV)

"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I too will love him and show Myself to Him."

Worship requires something of you, and that is obedience. Every time you open up your heart in obedience to God and worship Him with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul, our beautiful Lord responds with His magnificent presence. You need to continually be in the presence of God. Not only on Sundays, in a corporate place of worship, but in that secret place that maybe only you and the Lord will ever know about.

a heart after You...joanne.

Today's service was great! I enjoyed my time worshipping God on the guitar, seating in Pst Lia's sermon and receiving the Word of God with all my heart, encountering God, hearing remarkable testimonies! Today, Pst Lia preached about Prayer - knock! knock! =P

Making intercessory prayer! Wow. The testimony on how Daniel brought Ian to God...it's AMAZING!!! Daniel actually felt so burdened for Ian and intercedes on Ian's behalf for 2 whole hours...connecting Ian and God together through prayer! As I was seating at the back, I was so inspired to do the same thing for each and everyone. Even the hardest people will be saved, if we would just pray for them in our spirit! Wow.

I have been feeling so burdened for the Cedarians..the souls in that school. There are so many Christians, catholics and people with hardened hearts. What Lai Ting said today was so true!! It's not about the schools that we are taking, but it's about the souls that counts! Today is supposed to be a Cedar week, but only Fedora turns up. BUT, we are not dismayed nor disheartened. We must press on, push, pray, have faith! Pastor How preached this during the overnight prayer meeting:

Our reality rises to the level of our faith.
The higher our faith, the higher the reality!
BUT, our faith rises to the level of our dreams.
We must dream BIG & SUPERNATURAL dreams!

Breakthrough is brought about by a miracle.
You will breakthrough because of the power of God in your life!

After the prayer meeting, I just just felt so full of faith inside my heart! I went home to pray and pray and pray. The harder it is, the more I want it! I believe with all my heart that Cedar belongs to Jesus! Amazing! From 2 to 4....4 to 8....8 to 16...16 to 32. and it shall go on! This generation belongs to Jesus! Fedora, Rani & Cherie shall move in the power of God! They are given the mandate from God to take Cedar Girls' School for Christ! Take the Schools!!! Not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of God!

Joshua 1: 2 - 9

Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them--the children of Israel. 3Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. 4From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. 5No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 8This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

Let Your presence and Your power go before us!
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess..that You are Lord!
Show them that You are the One and Only true God!
Lord, a miracle from Heaven. The power of God upon the school.
Your presence with us, as we take Cedar for Christ!
In Jesus Name, Amen.

It's ours! Take it!

Breaking Through!

After the conference, the presence and the touch of God remains significantly in the deepest part of my heart. Pursuing the presence of God is my first priority in life now. I've not encountered God in such a deep way for a while already. Just like how Pst Sun described it to be... the two lovers met each other once again. There's such intimacy and longing between the two lovers. Wow. Jesus is my First Love. No one can ever take His place in my heart. No one.

I'm just longing for more of His presence.
No longer I, but Christ who lives in me!

I love Jesus.

love Him. love joanne.

I just want to be more like You
Walk with You beside me
Lord, won't You be my guide
Place your heart
Inside my soul
A heart that's ever true
One that's after You

...create in me a new heart, Lord. =)

After Your Own heart. Joanne.

i don't know what to blog about today.
i'll be going to church later to finish up the cd booklet.
followed by going to peck's place for her birthday celebration.
oh. i'll be meeting Jia Qi there too!!! yay!
She's finally back! Hmm. Didn't go out with her the last season, but NOW!!
We must catch up with each other! Her response: "You Better!"
hahaha.

There's this song which I really like, it's called"Breathe" by City Harvest.
The first line goes like this...

You are my God
Closer to me than the air that I breathe

When I was singing this song in the midst of my work, I actually covered my nose so that I can stop breathing...and I almost went breathless! haha. But, I think it's really true. In desperate situations, people actually need God more than anything else! And I can feel God closer to me!!! I really want to experience and know Him more every single day of my life. It's never enough. I just want to be, more like Him...with Him beside me all the days of my life. I know He's always there with me, on the top of the mountains and also in the deepest part of the valley. I know He's there.

This is something we have to grasp.
I just love Him so much.

love Him. love Others. love joanne

2005-05-23T01:52:00.000+08:00

yay! fedora is finally recovering from her dengue!
she's starting to feel hungry and she's off the drip too!
wow. God is just so amazing. I teared when I read the sms from her dad about her recovery and I just thank God from the bottom of my heart for healing her.
When I was in the hospital, looking at that frail looking fedora, my heart just cried out to God.
But, now...God is at work! He's so wonderful! Nothing is too small or too big for God to handle. He's able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ever ask for! He's God!

today, i learnt about self control. it was a great lesson. I just want to give up everything for God and never leave Him. He's so precious to me. Just so important. Nothing compares to Jesus.
I will be a great disciple of Jesus Christ with great discipline! yeah!

Joanne, with hinds feet on high places!

love Him. love people. love joanne.

2005-05-21T15:43:00.000+08:00

i'm now in church...blogging!
Oh wells. just came back from the hospital.
my poor sheep, fedora was admitted into the hospital for dengue.
she looks really sick was this "drip" that's beside her.
BUT, she's gonna be well!!!! Amen!
I prayed for her ^^

I really thank God for her.
She has grown so much in God and now...
she's taking her school for Jesus!
Rani, Joy, Alethea, Aileen, Daryl, Eileen etc.
This is what God can do out of an ordinary girl from Cedar!
Even the second generation Christians!
There's no doubt about it.

love Him. love people. love joanne.

2005-04-28T22:09:00.000+08:00

What we say and what we do must agree.Our people will do what we do more than what we say.What walks in fathers runs in children.The way we handle our people is the way they will handle others.What we do to our people is what they will do to others. Our action will always be more powerful than our words.People accuse or excuse themselves on the actions of their leaders.Our lives are the most powerful message we will ever preach.People ask themselves, 'What would (that person) do in this situation?'And thus they get counsel from knowing the life of their leader.

- Pst. Phil Pringle

That's why our lives are the most powerful testimony for God =)

love Him. love Others. love joanne.

Features

Are You Dreaming BIG Enough? - Tommy Barnett

A challenge from America's favorite pastor: Dream a dream so big only God can fulfill it.
Dreams are not merely the nightly thoughts you experience as the brain sorts out the day's events. They are the goals and visions that fire your heart and saturate your soul with joy at the very thought of them. They are those continuing visions of what you want your life to be at its highest level of fulfillment--what you want to do, how you want to do it, what kind of person you want to become in the process.
Your destiny and reason for living are wrapped up tightly in your dreams and desires, like the genetic information inside a seed. That dream in your heart contains your spiritual "DNA," the very blueprint for who you are. Your dream is that idea, that vision for your life that burns inside of you--something you can't ignore for long. It keeps coming back to your mind because it is part of who you are; it will never leave you alone.
A dream doesn't drive you; it draws you. It is like a big magnet that pulls you toward itself. I don't believe that there is a man or woman without a dream, because God designed every member of the human race to have dreams. Without a dream, a person will be frustrated in the present and will miss his or her future.

love Him. love Others. love joanne.

Could I Ever - Planet Shakers

When I woke up today
And thought of all the things You'd done
I find myself here
Feeling oh so overcome

You gave Your life away for me
Truly my heart belongs to You
So let me say

How could I ever thank You for
What You did at Calvary
When You bled and died for me
How could I ever turn away
Knowing that You paid the price
That I could never pay

When I think of the way
That You died upon that Cross
Bearing my sin
Even though my heart was lost

How could I ever thank You for all that You'd done for me... joanne

2005-03-08T12:09:00.000+08:00

It's been really busy for the last 2 weeks~ It feels really great to have a good sleep last night! I woke up this morning fresh and with excitement. (It was rainin heavily!!?!) TODAY IS THE DAY!!! THE DAY OF BREAKTHROUGH AND BREAKTHROUGHS FOREVER!!! - guys remember... it's the 12th December!!! Laying down every sin and weight...run this race with endurance. Pressing to the mark of our high call. I can't imagine how it's going to be like when our church grows to thousands! It's gonna be awesome... awesome and awesome. God loves His church! There's nothing that we can do to make Him love us more...He already love us with all His heart and everything else! Wow. I felt a BAM BAM BAM in my spirit as I woke up today. Something just broke through in the spiritual realm. I know it's gonna be awesome today and forevermore.

His Daughter,
Joanne

2004-11-16T18:52:00.000+08:00

They wonder when they see
Why I love You so
Will they ever know
You've done more than the world
Has ever done for me
They ask me as I live
Who I'm living for
Remember the promise You made...

I love You
I need You, Jesus
Every breath I breathe
With all my heart I'll sing
Your Word, Your Truth
Lives in me
You're the reason that I dream
The reason that I sing - Jesus.

I'm committed to You all my life, Lord.
Anything & Everything...for You.
I can no longer be under a ceiling
I'm more than a CONQUEROR.

love Him. love joanne.

2004-10-14T15:49:00.000+08:00

Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm back!?!
Hahaas. I lurve this blogskin...absolutely ;p
thanks ying for helping me out. I seriously think that there's something wrong with iwebmusic.com.
heh heh.

Exams are around the corner...mugggg.
I've got to focus and focus and focus.
If I want something that I've never had before, I've got to do something that I've never done before - study smartly.
More coffee. More chicken essence. More brains and more thinking. *squeeze out brain juices*-_-"

All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me!!!

love Him. love joanne.

2004-09-12T13:40:00.000+08:00

Saturday's service was fantastic!?!
I think I've really learnt a lot thru' Pst How's sermon.

SPIRITUAL AGGRESSIVENESS
Nelson Mandela once said this, "Once a fighter, always a fighter."
This phrase keeps on ringing in my mind...
There was an spiritual impactation.
Though I am weak, but His power is in me; therefore I'm made strong!

Joanne will never bow down to defeat!!!

Leaders -
1) Make things happen!!
2) Sees the problem, rose up to do something about it.
3) Take the Kingdom by force.

I wil rise up and grow my team!
Breakthrough 20 soon & 30 by the end of 2004!!!
I can do ALL things thru' Christ who strengthens me - the Bible.

once a fighter, always a fighter :: joanne

2004-09-07T03:01:00.000+08:00

Therefore, when I am weak, I am strong. Weakness makes me dependent on Jesus again, so that instead of trying to solve everything according to my own ability, I look up to Him and expect to see His power at work. It is in that power that I will be strong

love God.love joanne...singing about His love., says Paul.

2004-09-01T18:49:00.000+08:00

heyy. I guess I'll start blogging again. It's been a long time since i last bloggggg. Read my blogg!!!!

2004-07-21T00:10:00.000+08:00

The only thing that a student can do to glorify God is to - do well in his/her exams.
Gonna discipline myself even more from now on, I'll definitely do well!

Looking at a sketch of a Cross on my wall, with a question written on it -"Will you do it just for Me?"
Sometimes when I'm a little tired or when things starts to become a routine or even sometimes when I don't have the urge to study...I'll always look at the sketch and give a reply..."Yes God, I'll do it just for You." *a heartfelt cry*

With Him, all things are possible!

- whatever pst lia & how are doing now, I want to do the same when I grow up. I will.
loving God wholeheartedly and loving people fervently. replica - a little pst lia =)

building His house. love Him. love joanne.

1+1 = 150

Yay!!! We hit 151 during the last weekend!!! Woah woah woah ~ so happy la. Jian Ming and I were counting the attendance yesterday and it seems that we're waiting for the grand announcement of the first 3 sets of 4D numbers! hahas. Can't wait for the youths to grow to 200! It's so exciting manz!

Saturday & Sunday's sermon was so powerful. Pst Lia preached about the attitude of gratitude - I was convicted in my heart to be a grateful person.*Pondering* I love God with my time, my blood and my sweat, but come to think of it..I've never really love God with my finances and I was so challenged to really take a step of faith in my finances on saturday. I'll always look at those people who give their testimony on how God has blessed them financially and I really want to do the same thing too..glorifying and thanking God. It'll happen.

I want to love God with my money.
My heart is with God, so my money will also be.

I have faith. I believe that I will prosper in Him.
So much that I can't contain it!!!

:::::::::::::::::::

God, I thank You for blessing me all my life.
From the time you created me in my mother's womb.
You gave me great parents and a wonderful brother
You gave me Pastor Lia & How
You gave me heart of God church
You gave me great friends in church, when I somehow have none outside
You gave me love and hope
You gave me strength to move on in life
You gave me great people in my team
You gave me Jesus
And You gave...

thank You.

love Him very much, ah anne

2004-06-28T01:19:00.000+08:00

I had a great time in the youth service today!?! I really felt very challenged to rise up even more and start running towards my enemies...having much faith in God. Many people asked why do we strive or why do we give so much of our time to God...but, i can't really seems to be able to answer them, because explanation is not a revelation. I love God. I love people. I want to do the things that God has called me to do. I want to do whatever my pastors are doing - God loves me. That's the greatest revelation in my entire blooming life.

I'm really inspired to run this race - in faith. There's a lot of times whereby I really need to have much faith in God. Something just hit my heart and my spirit today... there is a cry in my heart to rise up even stronger than before! I'll be different. Confident. Secured. Faith filled.

It's a BRAND NEW DAY!!!
A new day, a new victory, a new joanne.

love Him. love joanne.

2004-06-27T14:35:00.000+08:00

a brand new day
a brand new beginning
a vision in life
a heart that belongs to God
a brand new joanne

Character is the result of choice.

love Him. love joanne.

as i'm blogging... was listening to this song by Utada Hikaru, 'First Love'. simply love this song, esp the piano version. Many thoughts came across my mind as I sat down infront of the computer pondering about some stuffs...

first love? The very first person that comes to my mind is.... definitely Jesus.

Really really love God very much. I can't imagine life without Him. my best friend. my beloved daddy. my patient listener. my encourager. my first love.

life without Him is a living hell and I'll never ever choose to live there. I have no place there. hahas. Sometimes, whenever i come before God... there are so many things that I want to thank Him for, but I'll always end up crying many tears, cos' words just can't express how much God loves me and how much I love Him.

I see people come and go, some rise up and some fall away. Have they build their own altar? hahas. I definitely have built my own altar many years ago... it's the most precious relationship in my entire blooming life and it will be for eternity....

loves Him. loves joanne.
