2008 is going to END !!! xD

Wow, its been a eventful 2008; filled with joyfulness and bitterness for me. One of the high points of the year 2008 was having friends like Aaron Tam, Sherene Jawing,  Jason lee Chun Jon, Daniel Sim, Abigail Sim, Vincent Lee, Philip Tan, Johnathan, Wee Xiying, Abigail Sim, Wan Si, Elaine Voon and many more Christian Fellowship members. 

Studies however wasn't that great,  it was mediocre only; studied half heartedly and it wasn't that great and all since i focused on my assignments rather then my finals... i was also lazy too back then *and i am still lazy* . Personally i do not know why I'm like this... I thank God for the good things that he have given me such as my result, knowing well that i didn't study much but with HIS grace, miracles can happen.

The other high points for the year 2008 was that i was saved in Easter *it would be a another moment for me to remember*; By a chance of chatting with My future Ministry Leader Mr. Kenny Chew Phye Ken with my course mate Michael Yao Kah Sheng in SASS. Mr. Kenny invited me to the Tony Anthony talk and i accepted Christ in that talk. He have been a father figure in my Christian life as a i grow daily and he is the source where i sometimes share my secrets or i just let go some of my frustration to him and he listen to all of my weird stories and advise me what to do and I'm forever grateful for that. Although i at times do not listen to the advise =P

One of the many high would be having many friends in Church & College, all are dear to me.  another high would be my friend brought his girlfriend which is truly amazing to me as i don't think she would come but she came anyways *praise god for that*.

Another high would be helping out in the Combined Christmas Carnival and also celebrating Christmas after my baptism on December 21 *it would be a special occasion for me to remember* ; it was an eventful event  where many people of skin and race were bargaining and looking for cheaper deals in the Cottage Sale *Yard Sale actually but want to have a high class name?? ^ ^* Many stuff were sold but there was left over and the churches finally let it go for free for people to take. 

many good stuff have been said, 

The year 2008 was also a hard time for me as controversy sworn into the ministry because of me and a fellow ministry  which was both of our fault; no one is right nor wrong in this whole incident. The thing took alot of toll on the team and also Mr Kenny as he have  to settle this; fortunately it was settled in an amicable circumstances.

and to end this BLOGPOST; i will apologize to all of my friends for any wrongdoings that i have committed in the year 2008 and i beg for forgiveness if i offend anyone in this year. Many thanks for the people that have been a blessing to me such as Mr. Kenny, Ms. Yoke Kheng, Pastor Chris, Mr. Ho Hok Seng **i hope i got it right**, Mr. Kevin, Sahaya, The Yong Family, Aaron Tam, XiYing, Chung En, Hui En and many more that have helped me.

                           May You All Have A Blessed 2009 !!!!!!

Blessed Christmas to all...

Hohohohohoho !!!!! a Blessed Christmas to all my fellow Church mates and also College mates and friends alike !!! This Christmas is special to me cause its my first Christmas after i was baptized last week and it was significant that my church that i attend to have been organizing a Christmas Carnival in the community near the church place with a few churches to give back to the needy and also to the people that need all encouraging the most is significant thing is that Jesus Christ might not have been born in December 25, theologian have argued that the actual date where Jesus Christ was not on December 25, which is almost in the end of the calender year. this was what one of the combined churches pastor was telling the congregation b4 the start of the Christmas Carnival in Komplex Muhibah  in Kota Damansara.. i don't know much but then again, it could be true or it could be half true.

As i don't the truth, anyways the Carnival was fun & tiring !!! but who am I to care ? God came down on his Father word and took our sins away on his willing as he wasn't pushed to do so by his Father but was asked upon and he took the responsibility onto his shoulder and he came down as flesh itself which is a form of a  baby and he grew up to be a man and he knows the weakness of a human being and the fragility of our heart to believe anything in the past before He told the world that He is the Savior that can safe all humans from Sin itself.

I'll end this blogpost with a special thank to all who have been a blessing to me. Many thanks to Mr. Kenny Chew Phye Ken, Mr. Kevin Cheong (ANC), Miss Gan Yoke Kheng (ANC), Senior Pastor Christopher Leong, my House Church Elder Mr. Ho Hok Seng and to all whom have been good and kind to me in my times of badness and goodness with many thanks and apologies to all whom i already said and to the friends like Vincent Lee, Sherene Jawing, Joshua New, Wee XiYing, Aaron Tam, Philip Tan, Johnathan Inggit, Bian, Clarice Chan, Yuen Yim, Michelle May, Michael Yao Kah Sheng, Ash, Parames, and many more....

If any wrongdoing in this year, i seek forgiveness for all the wrong stuff that i had done!! May u Have a great time celabrating Christmas with Your Closest Families and Friends.

Baptism...

This post was made in the Friday in the wee hour of the morning;

The time will be coming when i will be baptized, i will be baptized in December 21,  2008; Only just after converted into Christian in which i accepted Jesus Christ as my saviour during the Easter Talk where Tony Anthony talk was held in a hotel near Petaling Jaya... its been almost six months and there's been alot of changes that i have felt in my life,

i may still be annoying by talking too much *ps: i know i talk to much, trying to shut-up or tone down my talking xD* , My Christian life went well until a certain point where thing happen and its been a testing time for me and a fellow college mate and also ministry worker as my Ministry Leader is also one of the Christian Fellowship teacher advisor.... fortunately the issue is settled already and thankfully  we could talk to each other now and I'm glad that she have a companion that will be always by her side all the time which would make her feel safe.

God is good, HE is very good, HIS greatness and mercy flows like a river if u ask and confess your sins, i had done that and now i want to show my declaration of intent to show that I'm a children of god and i want to show of my baptism as a sign of my commitment to The Awesome One which is Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm kinda tired from all the ordeal of holidays as I like being in a place where i know like KDU College... i have spent most of my time in KDU and probably i will when i leave KDU after receiving my diploma..... I then will wait for any confirmation from God above.... then i will do anything that He commands me to do so....

note: post returns on 21 November 2008

..It was an event that was and will be significant for me as I was baptized by my GG leader Kevin Cheong and was assisted by Kenny Chew.. before the baptism; i has to share a word and i think i pretty much didn't follow the stuff that i was supposed to be saying but who cares ^ ^.

After baptism i felt clean from all the bondage's that has hold me back in the past and now I'm a new person.

What i get from the message by my Church Pastor in his sharing after the baptism service is that someone has called me to be baptized; the privilege to do the same has come upon me to do the same thing to my friends or to some one that i might know little in which i will gladly try and pray that i would be able to do so.

Jesus is the great Person up HIGH and we HIS children will gladly exalt him with all our hearts poured out grateful to HIM knowing HE came down to earth Two Thousand years ago to bear all of our sins and those that do not believed in HIM.

mood: joyful xD  currently listening to Dancing Generation by Matt Redman 

How Good is the Lord.

The Lord is Good all the Time... He is so Good

................................................He only gives the best to HIS Children in Earth;  HE do not give the worst of gift to HIS children in Earth. 

in Matthew 7: 9-11 NIV translation :  " Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children , how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! "

My result was released this week and i was pretty nervous as i hadn't really studied and furthermore before the exam was my 3D 2N camp @ MBS Rawang..... before camp i have to rush 3 assignment due on that day [ a presentation, 2 assignments ] itself in which i stayed up all night but i was pretty comprehensive whether should i go to the camp or not but i kinda feel that God was asking to go and let HIM take care of the result and all of my worries so i finished the assignments on time and also the presentation on that day it self.... then the time to go arrive and i carried my heavy luggage to college and waited to summit after doing the necessary check on the assignments and i passed it up.

The Day after camp was my first paper and i can say that i didn't study... although its a subject that do not require studying.... the next paper was more hectic and i browse through the notes and went on into the exam hall.... in which to testify, i just browse through the notes or i didn't at all.... 

result was announced or released @ 17 December which was Wednesday.....

i didn't wanna check because i was scared.... but then again... this isn't my first time worrying on results..... 

i went to college yesterday and checked my result and to my amazement, i passed all except for Consumer Behavior... no surprise  as the lectures are usually wordy based.... 

to my surprise i got 

C+ for Media Planning, Creative Strategy, News-Writing for E-Media, Mass Media Law (i fail short of getting an A in Mass Media Law but who cares... xD )

but i have to re-sit Consumer Behavior...  nothing to worry =D

small matter and i Thank God for the result... pray before the exam ....

mood: Joyful.... song mood: God is Good.

Contract...

Only a handful people know that i have a binding contract with my ministry leader Mr Kenny Chew Phye Ken [ mostly is church/gg members and my fellow campus ministry team and a few people that are significant in my Christianity life. ]

The Contract states that i can't drink sugary drink when ever I'm near him. of cause i didn't drink in front of him but i have a clause that states that i can drink sugary drink when ever I'm not with him.

I have tried to abstain myself but unfortunately i only can abstain myself for half a day....  but i usually lose control and drink sugary drink all the time..... thus breaking my promise.....

.... i have tried and fail... after which i went to KDU Christian Fellowship Camp @ MBS Rawang. One the second day, Pastor Albert which was a cool pastor btw ask who ever need to prayer for repentance; almost all of the people in the room said they want prayer of repentance.

 i started praying and I heard an audible voice from HIM saying repent for the mistake that i have committed * i think it was the sugar contract*

then when Pastor Albert prayed for me, i felt Mr. Ken and my course mate Michael laid their hands while Ps. Albert prayed together with Mr. Ken & Michael. 

Tears of Repentance started to flow but only after Ps. Albert prayed for me, i turned to Mr. Ken and weep  *i mean seriously weep... tears was flowing abundantly*  . During the moment i cried, i ask for forgiveness from Mr. Ken for breaking all of the rules in my contract.

the song Healer by Mike Guglielmucci is good as in one of the best song thats about Healing.

one of the verse in Healer is good.

Nothing is impossible for You

Nothing is Impossible for You

Nothing is Impossible for You

You hold my world in Your hands

It's said by Jesus to His people in Matthew 19:26 : "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."  The verse and song points out that to do anything, ONE just need to pray in HIS name and all will fall into position.

I thought that before i can control my sugar intake but i couldn't; the temptation is there. But by the Grace of God, HIS power are still hard to be known but all of HIS action is for the best and not for a turn to the bad.

He is so good, he will provide if u ask, if u knock the door will open. he's good all the time every time....

Grace of God

The grace of God is unimaginable,

HIS Great Work only some can comprehend, HIS people knows all of HIS great work and his promises; no one is bigger then HIM. He provides the best to HIS people.

The Song entitled Mighty to Save by Hillsong Australia is significantly important because its show the compassion from Jesus Christ to choose to come down to die for the people that belief in HIM and to those that do not belief of HIS Great Work.

Mighty To Save

Everyone needs compassion,

Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)

How can a man that can do many great thing die for our sin ? its unbelievable and i wasn't that awestruck cause i was already a pre-believer when my Late Grand mother became a Christian.

E-MAIL MESSAGE FROM ASHLEY MOM- ANNA. can’t believe right. but i got it from someone people blog. is not the exactly wan. but i still looking for it

Nicholas Wong

like i said, you will find Ashley story here, here it goes:

Ashley Akinns

Hi, I feel kinda weird writing this email. And i doubt if it ever gets to Mr Louie Giglio. I am a Senior at The University of Florida. I got a new roommate this semester and she is a Christian and I have never really been into the whole Christian thing because every pastor or speaker that I have ever listened to didn’t speak in a language I could understand. I have believed in God and Jesus, but never really understood it because the preachers at the church that I have always been forced to go to every Sunday of my life. They speak all high and mighty and I never really felt connected, and I felt like God was only for the perfect people.

Well my roommate went to this Passion Conference over winter break. And she came back and moved into my apt and she was real and genuine about all her Christian stuff, like I have never seen before in a person. She said that God changed her at this conference, so i was like what are you talking about. And she told me. She told me about how God was cool, and how God really wanted a deeper relationship with her, and she wanted to really love God the way he loved her, so of course I was like well huh? She then said you need to listen to Louie talk about God, so I asked who Louie was, and she put on the Indescribable talk, and then we watched the Passport talk. And in the Passport talk you said that Christians do not have to just hope for the best at the end, that they do not have to do enough good stuff. You explained how to get to heaven in a simple way, in a way that I have never heard before. I actually got it, I got it that it is not about being so good, cause I am not a good person. I have screwed up a lot. But then you said grace, and talked about how is was different than other religions. Because God is a loving and a kind God who wants to forgive me. My roommate then explained that he wants to forgive me.

Now for one of the reasons I am thanking you. One, I am now a Christian. And two, my roommate said that she had never really cared about telling others about how much God loved her before she went to this conference. So though I am not sure who will ever read this. Please tell Louie thanks from me, for talking about Christ in a way that a college kid can understand. I know that Jesus has changed my life and as I get ready to graduate college in May, I am gonna be a different person. I am sorry this is kinda rambling but I just had to tell you that I now know about the Grace of God, and I have life for the first time in my 22 years

Ashley

I will never forget the day her message came. And I’m not going to forget last Friday. Waking early for the last day of Thirsty, I happened to see this on my Blackberry and opened it.

Dear Mr. Giglio,

It is with a heavy heart that I send you this email. My daughter is Ashley, she wrote you an email that went on your blog and podcast Well, today May 3rd at 4pm we buried Ashley. She was killed in a car accident late on Sunday night. She lost control of her car and hit a light pole. She was the only car involved and had serious internal bleeding. She died in the arms of my husband at the hospital from unstoppable internal bleeding. But I have hope of seeing my daughter again. I have this hope because after years of praying for her, and watching her live a lifestyle in college that is known as the typical college experience. The last semester of her college career I saw a woman, not a college girl that I have never been more proud to call my daughter. I can point the thanks to you and Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Matt Redman, and everyone else involved in your Passion Conferences. Ashley fell in love with our Savior over the last 5 months of her life. She was so excited about graduation this week and moving to California to work her first real job. She had a life ahead of her. I miss my beautiful princess more than anything in this world.

But I just felt like you should know that she listened to as many of your talks as she could get her hands on and read your book I am not but I know I am and she was so excited about God and her new found faith. Words alone can not thank you enough. I may never meet you here on earth, but I know that someday I will be able to meet you and give you a hug in heaven, but only after Ash does. Thank you so much for praying for my girl, and your support of her as she was starting her new life. Also thanks for being a man of God who has a passion, and love for college students.

Your vision to share the gospel and getting college students to do the same made all the difference at a funeral today. Instead of being sad and scared for her. We were able to sing praise and worship songs today. Though there will be tears and I am so very heartbroken and crying as I type this, it is only because I will not hold her for so many years. And I will miss her for the rest of my life. I know I have said thank you a lot in this email, but because of you and Christa (Ashley’s roommate) and people at the Bible Study that she was going to she was happier than I have seen her in a very long time. In the email she originally sent you, it said she had life for the first time in her 22 years, and please know she meant every word of that. She lived the last few months serving and loving and learning more about Christ. She will now spend eternity in heaven with Him so one more time thanks. I know this was long and I debated for the last 4 days as to whether or not to write you. I know you are a very busy man, but I also figured you would want to know.

Ashley’s Mom

Anna

By the third line tears were streaming down my face, blurring the words, but not the sudden reality of it all. I had just received an e-mail from Ashley a few days before saying how excited she was to finally be through with college and headed to a “real job” in the Bay Area of California. And now she was gone.

I was crushed, but I found myself pumping my fist in the air, confident that Jesus Christ overwhelmed death and the grave. And just in the nick of time, He reached through the confusion and hopelessness and brought Ashley back to life again. Her mom was kind enough to allow me to share her e-mail and sent a photo of Ashley so we could all put a face with the name that has brought much rejoicing throughout the Passion world in recent months. Anna, please know that you and your family will be in our hearts and prayers as you begin the process of living without the daughter you so deeply love. You will see her again. And with our prayers we are praising God for matchless mercy…mercy that saved the day and carried Ashley safely home.
