Hi bros and sisters!! its a long time since i blogged..however i have been reading the posts u all have put up and the posts has indeed cheered me up and encouraged me alot..thanks once again!

now that everyone (at least most of the pebbles have gone back to sch and i am not yet employed..sad to say.) has gone back to sch or to work..i can contribute more to this cute and nice blog..with the wonderful blog skin done by angela..great job!!

I would also like to share sth that i have learnt from my qt on the 3rd of jan, those who have the NIV NT devotional shd be able to read it..

the passage is abt the visit of the Magi ( wise men)
The Magi travelled thousands of miles to see the King of the Jews (Jesus). When they finally found Him, they responded with joy, worship and gifts. The Magi worshiped Jesus for who he was.

What is worship??
The essence of true worship--honoring Christ for who he is and being willing to give him wat is valuable to you.
After these few days of worship retreat, all the sermons were on worship and today God has reminded us abt worship again. This shows the importance of worship.
Worship is:
1. worship with joy for Jesus has saved us
2. worship God for who he is
3. honor Christ in watever we do
4. giving God wat is valuable to us
Worship God for He is great and almighty, faithful, loving and nv changing.
i would like to share abt the last day of retreat when rev ephraim spoke of the "yu ping" (sth that is valuable and precious to us), breaking the yu ping is also an act of worship, we worship God as we live our lives for God.

The 2nd part is from rom 1:16-17
This part really spoke to me and i hope that all may benefit from it. (esp those that needs strength and grace in serving the LOrd.)
If you focus on God and on what God is doing in the world
rather than your own inadequacy, your embarassment and
feeling of not up to the task will soon disappear.


May this be our prayer...
Lord, let us learn to fix our eyes on You rather than on our inability and
we know that You will guide and lead us and uphold us when we stumble
and fall..

and may all pebbles say...
amen! amen! and amen! I am emily.. hehee
