OUR NEW HOME

Hey, it's been awhile since I updated this page and so.. Here I am writing what I'm feeling now. Just so excited for this years' Building Fund (BF), because Pst How shared with us a piece of good news! On 21st and 22nd September, it was the start of BF! BF week 1! Pst How shared with us that we may be getting a new place by mid 2015, and it's very near our current location, just a few min walk from where we are right now. It is very near HQ as well. How great is that? God is so so good. Pst How shared with us about all the accounts in church. I'm just so inspired by how my Pst always gives his best and nothing less in all the svcs he preached in. Some people may get bored by just attending one svc hearing all about accounts and everything. But for me personally, I went for two svcs hearing the same accounts Pst How shared, I'm really inspired by how he always give his best in all the svcs he preached in. Especially during the last svc of the week, svc 4, he still gives his best no matter what. Pst How shared a short but very powerful message. Rehoboth. Not forgetting that Pst Lia led us into praise and worship. Whenever Pst Lia starts to lead us into worship, you can just feel His presence, the presence is just too strong. When the video, "Our journey of a dream" was played after svc ended, I was very moved as I watched it. I may have watch the very same video twice because I went for 2 svcs but even when I watched it the second time, I was still very touched and teared the second time watching it. Really amazed by how both Pst How and Lia sacrifice to build the church. Pst How would even personally clean the place, Pst Lia started youth svc. The last thing I want to share about that weekend was the testimony being shared. Natascha shared so well. I was so impacted. She really gave to build His house for those like hers. So moved hearing her share her testimony even though I heard it twice. Inspired to be like her to never take this place for granted.

Last weekend, 28th and 29th September, it was BF week 2! I went for 2 svcs again. Pst How again gave his best in all the svcs he preached in. Furthermore, that very week, Pst How went on the trip to KK and preached for 4 sessions. Also heard that after touching down, he rushed to church immediately to have meetings and even prepared for AGM. Preaching for another 3 svcs during the weekends, a total of preaching 7 times for the entire week, but you don't see him complain, he just gives his best for all the svcs he preach in. I think my Pst is just so amazing. Pst How shared that when we are young, it is easy to sacrifice but hard to be generous. When we are older, it is easier to be generous but hard to sacrifice. I think it is quite true. After hearing what Pst How shared, I was determined to be even more generous especially to my family. I treated my mum to her favourite food after her work on Saturday and even shared with her what Pst How shared with us. Also, I really like this verse which Pst How shared.

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
                                                                        Matthew 6:21

I want my heart to be in the house of God. So impacted by the two testimonies shared by both Josephine and Sheena. Listening to what Sheena shared, I wanted to be more like her. She is so mature and independent. She gave to build His house when she had all the reason not too. She even designed her own piggy bank to save and fulfil her pledge. When Pst Lia led us into worship, I couldn't help but tear because I felt that He was assuring that everything will be going okay for me. Wanting to give for BF even though I may not have much left for myself, I just felt that He was assuring as I build His house, He will build mine. This will be my second BF. Even though the amount I pledged last year may not be a huge amount but after this weekend of BF, I was reassured by what Pst How shared, "Unequal giving but equal sacrifice. God looks at the heart, not the amount.". This year BF, I shall choose to have faith and trust in God, trust that I will be able to give to build His house. What's even better? It's building His house together. LR Zone had our very own Building Fund Fun on Sunday, where the zone just come together and eat together, play together, and just living our best lives together. The team was just so amazing. They prepared delicious food at affordable price, planned games to have fun together. We are all so excited to build His house together. #LRBFF2013

Lastly, I am going to put this little card in my wallet. W.I.S.D.O.M. To 1) Pray and plan, 2) Radical not reckless, 3) Sacrifice luxury not living, 4) Give by faith not by credit.

I am super excited to build His house!! (:
