Readings
Wednesday, December 31, 2008
As another year comes to a close, it's now time to reflect upon 2008. It has been a great year with many more ups than downs. Here are some highlights of the year.
- Moved from W351 to W389 in may after 7 months.
- Graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Electronics.
- Enrolled into School of Theology (14th student intake) and had the time of my life. This is the best thing that happened this year.
- Joined Choir Ministry, although only a short 5 months
- Turned 21.
- Guitar Lessons with Poh
- Enlisted to serve National Service on 11 Sept 2008 in Pegasus Company.
- Passing out from BMT.
- Entering into 1 MI Bn.
- Asia Confrence (although only 2 services, but I had a good time).
- Mediacorp performance for Campus Superstar with the new, improved Euphoria.
- Experiencing God like never before.
I was reading the post I which I had posted last year end. Indeed this year has been greater than the last, and I believe that next year, it will be a greater year.
Here is to thank certain people for this great year:
W389 - For being so welcoming to me when I first entered the cell group. All the fun times, all the discipling from Joe/Edmund/Tian Yi was worth it with all of you by my side. Thanks for making a positive impact in my life. I know I can definitely count on you guys
Team 16 SOT - Thanks for all the times in SOT, all the prayer focus, OPM, fellowship, doing projects, gatherings. Everyone of you have made an impact in my life. Special thanks to Michele-jie for being our ever so great team leader.
All other friends I know from SOT - You guys have made an impact when I am down, looked out for me all the time. It has been great knowing how and what God has done in your lives, keep on keeping on for Him.
CHC Choir Ministry - I had much fun during my time in choir, made many friends too. What impacted me the most was seeing God move even in Choir Practice, man, it was awesome. You guys are all spiritual giants. Thanks to all my friends in choir, I will never forget each and everyone of you!
Geraldine - for all the times I pestered you about my phone. Thanks for being patient. Keep on growing in capacity to do more things for God. Jia you!
Poh - For teaching me guitar, spotting my mistakes and correcting my techniques.
And most of all Jesus Christ, for showing himself ever so real during the times when I was most down in BMT and lifting me up to where I am today. Also answering many of my prayers, both personally and for others, making me stronger in the faith and placing me in my desired unit.

Lessons with Poh have been great, learning a lot on how to lift up CG atmosphere by adding more dynamics to the song, be it praise or worship. I really thank God for such a great teacher, teaching me how to improve in the areas that I am weak/bad in. Shall go and practice whenever I am free.
On another note, I am thinking of joining Wildcards Cheerleading team, to improve from my current standard. But it will clash with CG meeting. So I have to seriously consider. Gotta see if Wilcards side can compromise a little or not.
Current song, Above all else. This song is ministering most to me now.

My Life, Your Song
WHOSE HANDS ARE THESE
HOLDING MY TRAPEZE
WHEN I FLY
YOU CARRY ME
WHOSE EYES ARE THESE
WATCHING OVER ME
EYES OF LOVE
THAT SET ME FREE
UNAFRAID
WHAT'S AHEAD
YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE BEFORE
MY WHOLE WORLD
YOUR DESIGN
YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE
JUST RIGHT BEHIND
MY LIFE IS YOUR SONG
TO YOU MY HEART BELONGS
LET ALL EARTHLY CROWNS
FADE IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS
MY LIFE IS YOUR SONG
I'LL SING FOR YOU ALONE
NOTHING IN THIS WORLD
CAN TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU
OUR LOVE GOES ON AND ON
WHOSE ARMS ARE THESE
SHELTER ME FROM HARM
IN THE STORM
YOU ARE MY CALM
WHOSE VOICE I HEAR
WHISPER IN MY EAR
WHEN I'M LOST
YOU'RE ALWAYS NEAR
IN ALL MY LIFE
BE GLORIFIED
WITH CHRIST IN ME
NO LONGER I
SO TAKE MY ALL
CONSUMING FIRE
YOUR LIGHT IN ME
I'LL LET IT SHINE
A great song, easy to play too, one song which I love when I heard it the first time, love the tune for the pre-chorus. I do not know when, but somehow this song will speak to me in a situation somehow somewhere.
