i have once type this post out but in d end didnt post it out...so i shall do it now...this post is dedicated to one of d best church i have ever been.....i have been introduced to this church by a wonderful sister of mine, Audrey Tan!..thanks a bunch, drey!
well, i aso do believed tat its nt by coincident tat i came to this church precisely on tat moment...previously, during my 1 & 2 sem, i was attending a church in sg buluh ( i shall nt mention names here=))...but i find tat i cant really grow in tat church due to sum reasons...but i stick on till my 2nd sem..then middle of my 3rd sem, i decided to stop goin to this church n decided to take a break before i find another suitable church n prayed to God for a better church ( as my place very ulu wan, there r nt much english churches there)...how many knw tat there is no such thing as taking a break from church?...well, i have learned tat lesson well..
so nwey, we shall nt got to there yet...so wat happened was Audrey's siblings came down n i spend a weekend wif them at her place..tats where i gt introduced to Harvest Generation Church, Subang Jaya
and to tell u the truth, the very first time i step in, i feel so welcome n at ease...its jus amazing...the church service is great n the message tat is preached is really good...not to mention d church leaders which really encourage u wif their enthusiasm in serving Him..serious, im so amazed becos some of d leaders r even younger than me n yet they can do alot for Him! how awesome is tat?!...so i knew at tat point tat this is d church tat im looking for...n to tell u d truth, i have nt once regretted it although its really a distant from my place, but it is worth it!

lil things..
sumtimes life can get really busy n we tend to forget to Thank God for the lil things tat happen in life...we aso tend to take for granted those things n we only start to miss them wen they r gone..that is human nature...u learn to appreciate things only wen they r no longer there...
so i wan to take this opportunity to thank God for the lil things i take for granted all this while...
~ lil blessing from my frens when i really least expected..jus d care n love that is shown where at times i really frustrated them...yet they still loves me!=)
~ my bufday treats n celebrations tat i have..its a memorable wan...
~ God has taken care of me although at times i x feel it at all..d numbers of times of close accidents...=)
~ God have place me in a wonderful church back in my hometown for me to grow n He has aso granted me a most happening church in subang too!
~He has blessed me with wonderful frens who really shows tat there is one in a million frens (in my case) in this dark world...
~He has taught me hw to love n trust in my frens again n learn to allow myself to be taken care of...in another word, broken down my "very high" pride...
~He has seen me thru many of my trials wen i really felt i cant go on..He taught me to lean on Him instead of myself...again, d pride issues...=)
~He has blessed me with a wonderful fam in Harvest Gen who drove all d way jus to pick me up for church n aso for jus being there....
~ He has given me wat i have prayed for so long until i forgotten abt it...
~He has provided all my needs (big o small) thru my growing years...He has proven time & again tat He is faithful & He cares...
~He blessed me with really great frens tat i have grown close too tat they r like sisters to me....
~ He nvr ever gave up on me..nt once although i have given up on Him more than once...
~He has loved me with His everlasting love although its kinda hard for me to grasp tat fact....
~He send His only son, Jesus jus to die for me & the fallen world...
i can go on n on on how much He has blessed me...but i cant remember all of tat as it is so much!..but this i knw, He does love me despite for my failures & my imperfections....for tat:
Thank You Lord! Thank You for every blessing i gt from u although at times i knw i x deserve it at all...

Harvest Generation Very 1st church camp '08
church camps...dont u jus love this word?..camps r great n it does get better when it is a church camp! and to top it up, its Harvest Generation 1st church camp n i was a part of it!!=)
it been really long since i last wen to a church camp...but thank God i did have a opportunity to go for one recently n i nvr regretted my decision to go..indeed God has planned everything out when u least expected...
well, the camp im talking abt is together wif my church back in subang, Harvest Generation Church...last weekend (2-4 may), they had their first church camp at Peacehaven, Genting..,i have been to tat place for 2 times wif my hometown church but its not the place tat matters but it is d very purpose of d camp...
i have cum to this camp nt expecting much as i had a rough week before the camp...so the feeling of enjoying the camp flew out of d window but nvrtheless i choose to go as i have alreadi sign up n i really needed a break...i guess is really God' s will for me to be there....so as tired as i feel, i still went for the camp...
how timely it is for the message tat is preached is sumting tat i really needed at tat time...Ps Ryan preached about the potential tat God has place in us n the theme of the camp is Building Characters, Impacting Lifes
this msg is so timely as i really felt so dry n numb. n all those mix feeling tat u cant really grasp n explained...after the night session we had on sat, i wen back to d dorm n really cried out to God..i nvr cried tat hard to Him as far as i can remember...at the same time,i nvr expected Him to answer me but i jus needed to let it out on how i feel..n God is so amazing...He does work in many ways to show tat He does listen to our faintest cry...time n again He has proved His faithfulness n His unfailing love although so many times i doubted it...
after the morning session d next day (sun), we had prayers as a cell group n we jus continue to seek God in His presence...suddenly, one of my cell member approached me n sed tat he had a word from the Lord for me...n wat he sed to me was jus amazing...it was d very exact word tat i needed to hear n God has told me what i needed to hear...i was amazed...isnt God jus wonderful?...when u really feel unloved, He alwiz show He cares....He shows tat He is walking beside me thru this journey although many times i dont feel Him ard me...but He is there...alwiz...
its jus so amazing...i did enjoy this camp n this camp has renewed me in Him..this camp has really gave me a new meaning...i really glad tat God has planned for me to cum for this camp as He has a plan n purpose for me...n He will bring me thru this journey...im actually looking forward to c what He has for me!..what a surprise!even to me...=)
so, yeah, tat is hw my camp went abt...will post sum pics once i gt them...till then!
