` 1118; - REVIVAL WOOHOO












MAI LOVELAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY HOMIES :D

Just by looking at these pictures, I can really be happy. Happy, not satisfied.
Just like a year and a half ago, Esther and I were worshipping alone, at the staircase near the Science Block, just writing down names for potential friends and simply praying for God's hands over our school. Especially I was someone no one liked. But I can safely say that I have faith.

And when God says He gives abundantly, He really means business.

And there are more people actually. They couldn't turn up but hey, it's rapidly growing and expanding. Hougang Secondary power. Even there're devils trying to tear me/us/whatever down, God and I would not let it happen.

This shows that in a school like mine, under dreary circumstances, it is easy, it is possible. Growth is easy. Revival is possible. All that matters is how much you want it to happen. No excuses here.

Maybe God gave me the gift of evangalism. He has shown me that even in a difficult school I could still win souls for Him. Perhaps He is preparing me for something even bigger. Somewhere that I would face even more persecution. Somewhere that people are so mixed up they forget about being pure in the first place. Somewhere where malice turns into misery and eventually dissipates into suicide.

But if I can bring revival to my school with the help of Christ Jesus, it means that you can too.
Nope, no superpowers involved.

Well I've got a story to tell
About the King above all kings
You spoke for peace, hope, love and justice
Things that we all need today
You let a broken generation
Become a dancing generation
This is revival generation
You may not hear it on the radio
But you can feel it on the air

Revival town
That's what they're calling this place now

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

If not for love,
where would I be if not for love?
If not for grace
Where would I be if not for grace?

WHAT IF...

I give a cheque to hoGc in ten thousands...hundred thousands...millions one day?
I become the Next Big Thing?
I use my affluence to influence?
I overshadow Ayumi Hamasaki, Lee Hyori and Jolin Tsai?
I'll use my testimony to impact the next generation?
I eradicate poverty in Africa?
I do my best to help starving, orphaned, sickly children when I become someone famous one day?
I help to plant hoGc Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa and many more?
I become a CGL?

My friends will grow.
My CG will grow.
My church will grow.
I will grow.
I want to replicate my Pastors.

WHY NOT?

(:

But for now, I need to do what I gotta do.
At least I have a direction to go to, to follow.
Nothing is impossible with God.

A little boy of thirteen
was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing
and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening
to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom,
even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly
the day turned to night
Everyone was hungry
but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox
at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do
there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus
the kindness in His smile
and the boy cried out
with the trust of a child
he said:

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
to feed them all"

I often think about that boy
when I'm feeling small
and I worry that the work I do
means nothing at all

But every single tear I cry
is a diamond in His hands
and every door that slams in my face
I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give You every breath that I have
Oh Lord, You can work miracles
All that You need is my "Amen"

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small

I trust in You
I trust in You

Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears and inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
no gift is too small

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME AND MISS LOI :D

I shall think of myself as a spiritual leader
I will see myself as one.
Doubts are nothing in the Kingdom of God, they are just lousy bullets used by the devil to throw you off course.

Thank you Prayer Group for celebrating my birthday (Weekiat, Wanwen, Daniel Chan, Yu Chuan, Nigell, Christine, Vivian, Vanessa, Tiffany, Bryan - see I named everyone! :D)

Jolyn, Cheri, Uthara, Xiao Hui, Jiaen for the presents - I love you all!

I will lead my life right so that everyone can see Jesus through me.
Be simple in a sophisticated world.
Simplicity is the key.

School has been GREAT (: Amazing. I mean, last time if I were put in this situation I would definitely be all emotional and let emotions get the best of me but now I've got my identity in Christ and no words than Man ever says can bring me down, which is amazing.

Pastor Josh Kelsey was simply mindblowing. His faith, his passion for the things of God simply amazes me, and makes me want to be more like him and Him everyday. I'm glad that I attended both services because IT SPOKE TO ME SO MUCH.

Haha I shall get a boyfriend then husband who's like him. The zest, passion...it's amazing.
God doesn't listen to what others say about me.
If He doesn't care, what more reason should I?
His identity lives in me.

I actually enjoy the burden being lifted when I'm being myself. I used to be so paranoid about what others think about me but now I don't care :D For I have God on my side (:

Oh no I need to prepare Prayer Group stuff (: All and out.

` 914; - made a broken generation dance again

I hate weird dreams.

Just yesterday (as in last night yesterday), I dreamt of me and C AGAIN, but this time we were on the bus holding hands, then suddenly HANNAH appeared, saw us and started talking. Then she alighted at KHATIB and then C changed to JOE CHENG (the guy in ISWAK) and we alighted at BOON LAY MRT station, just RIGHT on the platform! And Rain came up to us and started fighting with him! ):

And last night, I dreamt that I was married to Joe Cheng (seriously I didn't think of him at all, and I have no idea why he suddenly popped up), and I was like, er, pregnant. And the next thing I knew, I had 3 children already and I haven't named them! And my mom was all, "Oh we named them already with Joe."

And their names were all starting with JOE! I remember the names were Joelle, Joanne, and Joevel. And I was practically screaming "WHY NEVER WAIT FOR ME! SIAN!"

Then I was whisked to a place in China with B4. Joe was with me, of course.

And then my maid happily sauntered into my room and woke me up.

*

Nonsense aside, I was talking to Gabrielle yesterday on MSN. That woman is super funny. She wants to get married at 37! -.-

And we were talking about building the church, and how blessed our lives were after accepting Christ. We were talking about our schools as well!

She wants to serve God, I want to be a part time pastor.
What a powerful friend I have man :D

Liane shared with the whole Chinese Orchestra during dinner before.

"Pastors told God that, they will be responsible for every single soul that comes into the church. They told God that they would preach their best, they will ensure everything turns out to be the best. If that soul walks out of the church with a closed heart, iniquity would not be on their heads as they do not open their hearts to recieve God."

WOW.
Lord, I am liable for every single person in Hougang Sec. If they do not open up their hearts to see You in me, I can't do anything, only You can. Iniquity will not be on my head then. Same goes to us in HOGC in HS. God, here we are, send us. We're the Freedom Generation, living for revival in this school.

We will have our own story to tell.
We are the Dream Team.

Revival School. That's what they're calling this place.

Hello world.

The full face of rejection of Him in front of your face. I felt it today.
It's saddening really. If it could really break my heart so badly, how hard God's heart must break.
I almost cried on the number 43 bus on the way to Singpost if Weekiat and Joel weren't there to offer me tissue and pat me on the back and make Public Nuisances of themselves in the bus.

Service was fun with Camille here with us today, she was the love. Sorry darl for making you wait. I'll make it up to you someday, I promise.

I dislike my parents for hindering me from going to church till late. But anyhowso I guess it's partially my fault as I didn't study.

& thank you so much God. I love You.

I'm going to bleach my hair tomorrow at Weekiat's house with the help of Fedora. Bye world, I'm off to do theory and drown myself in piano.

Even if you reject God
He'll make sure you'll come back to him.
Not now, but someday soon.

` 861; - addicted to You





Hey world. Camp was mindblowing/exhilirating/exciting/awesome. It's amazing to see how the people you're closest to grow to a whole new level. Yes, camp's good. More than good. It's the best camp I've ever had so far. Trust me, the experience you get from this camp is more valuable than those camps of leadership that only teaches you things in the natural. But this not only teaches you the natural, it teaches you how to make things happen in the supernatural.

Parachute Band was superb. They can really pull down the presence of God! B & C Zone got the privilege and stood in the mosh pit which was the nearest to the stage. I was crying and worshipping and just in awe of everything :D

Revival Night was great. Charleston carried the anointing man. I remember standing there and everyone was being prayed for, except for me. And my heart was racing. Why wouldn't anyone come? And I remembered Jesus waited patiently. My heart was not open to him yet. I immersed into the presence and Ivan prayed for me. He told me to lift both my hands and worship, and as I did so, he grasped my hands like how Jesus was cruxified. "Rise Naomi. Grow to a whole new level. A breakthrough. A total character change."

Did QT with B2 and B4 together. Worshipped for 2 and a half hours non-stop. :D OMGOMG. I'm addicted to the presence of God (:

Others can, Naomi cannot.
Others can go clubbing and have promiscuous relationships, but Naomi cannot.
Others can break God's heart, but Naomi cannot and will not.

Funny Incident #1:

Joel: "Weekiat do you have the balls to do it or not. Guts man."
Weekiat: "Yeah I do have them!"
Joel: "Oh yeah? Lemme check." *pounces on Weekiat*
Weekiat: "Hey get off me! I'm not allowed to use them until I get married or something."
Naomi: "... hello I'm like the only girl here."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHHH.
I couldn't stop laughing! Because what he said was logical but that coming from Weekiat who's like an overgrown child (according to Tingwei).

Funny Incident #2:

We were sleeping in the linkway leading to the alfresco after QT. Joel was sleeping like super soundly and as he did so, his boxers were showing.

Fedora: "Eh Wee can you like pull his shirt down or something."
Weekiat: "Okay."

And he used a slab of cardboard and put it over, and (maybe) Joel thought it was a blanket or something, and he covered his head with the slab.

Funny Incident #3:

I was putting toothpaste on Weekiat and Joel's faces. Joel didn't notice it until he woke up.

Darren: "Eh Weekiat wake up! It's like 10 am and everyone's like doing BM already!"
Weekiat: "Kaidghiqwudghn HUH? Sue the government! Sue the PAP! Sue everything!"
Naomi: "What has the government got to do with anything?"
Weekiat: "Don't know."

Funny Incident #4:

Zhiguo was sleeping in the middle of the audi (those in HOGC know that it's a bad bad move). Elgin and his partners in crime went to smear toothpaste on his face and he still didn't know. Then Elgin went to wear his disgusting Scream mask and scared the living daylights out of Zhiguo.

Super funny la xD
And Charleston got his new Mac.
I'm ENVIOUS. D:

I LOVE GOD.
I LOVE HEART OF GOD CHURCH.
I LOVE B & C ZONE.
I LOVE B4.

` 849; - and now you know why

I've got a revelation.
2, infact.

I was just telling Tingwei, that God is putting holy discouragement on me now, as every obstacle life puts in our way is to enable us to grow character-wise.

1) My parents aren't giving me allowance and I'm broke.

Possibly God wants to use this time to see if I would still praise and thank Him in this time. For in the bible it says that "The most intimate praise and worship is one that when everything looks bleak and the person still worships Him." Another thing is that maybe God wants me to learn how to be frugal. "Frugality is a virtue."

2) Acne!

Maybe the acne on my face now is God's way of trying to tell me not to judge other people. Last time I've been judging other people by how they look, behave and blah. It may sound cliche but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. "But first take out the log in your eye before telling your friend he has a small speck of wood shaving in his."

I really hope and pray that God clears up my face by this year! So next year I can start in the modelling industry and give my first pay to God. I feel that I've been a robber in God's house, by not giving Rental Assistance for 2 months now and my tithe for this month as I'm broke... well... God created me, He can also erase all blemishes! ^^

My God is good! (:

` 841; - deal or no deal

Life hands us a pack of cards. It's how we deal with it.

Sometimes do you just wonder how some people manage to be pretty, rich and smart at the same time? Yeah, sometimes I wonder it too. Everybody has a different hand. For instance, I have a hand in which I can play the piano, I can actually study when I put my effort in, a reasonably well-to-do family, and a case of moderate facial acne.

Some others, have a good hand in theirs - clear face, pretty looks, filthy rich. That's Her. Him? Well-to-do family, lax parents, good looks that will change into suaveness in 3 years time.

But I know I have something that they don't have.
I have God by my side.

For now I'll play the hand that I have.

-

Thank you God. Ever since knowing You again, my life has been totally transformed. I could never thank You enough.

I can never find a word, surprisingly for me, Girl-With-Too-Many-Words, to find a word in my mental dictionary to describe the boundless joy that I have when I have You beside me. Sometimes as I am walking alone in my estate with the wind whipping my hair around and the gentle breeze of You on my skin, I would rather be there than be with my Beloved Husband if there was a choice. (For I know You have reserved him for me :P)

I love You, more than life. These few days of introspection has changed me. I am now ankle-deep in Your revelations, but like Elisha, I want more of You. Engulf me.

I think Pastor How's sermons and God speaking through him never ceases to amaze me. (Pastor Lia, you too!)

Pastor How was talking about Simplicity on Saturday, and it has never been more relevant even though it was "meant" for the Zone G people.

It's true, I'm always sensitive to people. Overly sensitive. Like for example if someone just says something I don't like or doesn't mince his/her words, I'd go emo and stuff. But now I'm secure in God (:

I've always thought of the world as some weird place where people go around faking relationships just for the sake of getting advantages. The adults call it "networking." I remember quite clearly, about a few years ago, I was in my parent's church. I asked an affluent uncle there why he came to church. He said, "to network."

He said that because in that church, there were quite a lot of well-to-do people, some of which are my father's friends. My parents also know the importance of networking, and they urge me to go to RJC or some /atas/ junior college, to network, gain some affluent friends, and possibly, a well-to-do smart husband. (PAH. The only husband I'll get is a strong Christian from HOGC:D)

They were crushed when I was posted to Hougang Sec.

But now Hougang Sec is in a revival (: And I've gained 2 Best Friends along the way too :D

Sorry, I digressed.

The point is, why build fake relationships? Why waste your time to maintain something that isn't real at all? Might as well build something real and enjoy the relationship. Just be simple, keep your heart simple. Be in the world but not of the world.

` 817; - dream team


Had CG today and it was awesome.
Today's CG really answered my question!
Because I've seen everyone put "DREAM TEAM" on their MSN nickname, and I was curious.


Samantha preached about the "Dream Team", and she said one phrase which was really true "Loving God is easy, but fearing God is the true test of your character." Amazing. Most of us treat God as just someone who we can blah to, to just heal us and such, but how many of us would actully drop everything and obey Him? Relationships must be 2-way, when He helps us, we obey Him back.


And, Jesus is super super zai. He chose to die on the cross for us, when He could actually back out. "Father, please take this Cup away from me if possible, nevertheless, not my will but Yours be done." WOAH man.


And as for the Dream Team, they are a team of people who would bear the burden together with Pastors and the leaders! I want to be part of the Dream Team! :D


-

During CG we played the chair game. My team wonderfully lost, and we were supposed to eat the mealworm jellies (REAL MEALWORMS) that Chelsea brought.


It tasted... agary and crunchy. And the mealworm was like chaoda. Daniel (Goh) saw me eating and he looked totally disgusted, and Weijie was like, "EWWWWWWW."


Had fun grossing out the living daylights out of Best Friend by chewing the agar really slowly.


Dinner was fun (:
Joel bought whipped cream and all of us sprayed it into our mouths. HAHAHA






This is (part of) the dream team (:


Took videos of Weekiat and Joel spraying the cream into their mouths. HAHA.

Okay I need to catch up on beauty sleep. Bye all (:

Isaiah 50:7-9

7 For the Lord God will help me
Therefore I will not be disgraced
Therefore I have set my face like a flint
And I know I'll not be ashamed.

8 He is near who justifies me
Who will contend with me?
Let us stand togeher
Who is my adversary?
Let him come near me.

9 Surely the Lord God will help me
Who is he (or SHE) who will condemn me?
Indeed they will all grow old like a garment
And the moth will eat them up.

` 791; - what measures your faith?

During 1910 to 1945, the Korean citizens suffered under the Japanese Oppression, and the Korean Christians revolted by refusing to bow down to the Japanese national shrine because they saw it as idol worship.

As a result, the Korean Christians were arrested and tortured by the Japanese.

Among them, there was an exhorter named Chae In Kyu who attended the Chun Kok Church in the city of Kang Reung.

In Kyu was then badly beaten up by the Japanese for not giving up his faith.

His torturers asked for him to give up Jesus but he would not. He insisted that it wasn't right and he would never betray Him because Jesus died for him. He endured the beatings, clutching to him his small wooden cross.

His friend tried to plead for him, saying that he was not of the right mentality and he was mentally ill.

The officer retorted to the woman that if she wanted to believe in Jesus, have faith like Chae In Kyu, who was giving up his life for Jesus.

In Kyu refused to bow down to the Japanese flag, to the direction of Japan or to the Emperor like many Christians did at that time, which brought on more sufferings and persecutions. But he still endured it all, carrying his small wooden cross. He was beaten till he could not recover from his wounds, and he was transferred to Daejun Prison Hospital where he passed away on 6 December, 1942.

Rejoyce as you partake in the sufferings of Christ, that your blessings may be revealed to you.
1 Peter 4:3

Do you have faith like Chae In Kyu?
I would die for Jesus.
He died for me, so I'll live for Him.
