Rooted And Delighting In Christ's Awesome Love

nikki's testimony

2009-10-19T23:03:00.004+08:00

HELLO ALL!!!!

Sherrie here. This post is for those who can't read the MMS I sent out! K it's quite long and the original sender sent it in MMS form, and I simply forwarded it, so yeah.

It's a testimony from Nikki in level 4, and some of you may not have received it, but it's REALLY REALLY awesome so I wanted to share it with you guys. Nikki writes:

Hey beloveds! My chi tcher shared this testimony to me and i felt very encouraged by it. Wanna share it with you guys and hope you get blessed too. :) when her daughter was sitting for her o lvl maths paper, she suddenly had a very serious migraine. It was so serious that she could not read the questions or think properly. She became very panicky and started praying to God for help. After which, she began writing whatever things that enter her mind. On that day, she went home crying badly as she knew the importance of maths in her admission to jc/poly. My tcher prayed with her and both of them submitted the papers into Daddy's hand. Guess what! When the daughter received her o lvl result, she got an A1 FOR HER MATHS PAPER!!!(it's impossible for her to score A1 without God since she could not even think properly and read the questions!) THIS IS YOUR DADDY GOD! This is how much HE LOVES YOU and WANTS YOU TO GET A1S FOR Os! After hearing the testimony, Daddy told me that it's not about how much you have prepared yourself for or not about how much you practised your TYS. It's about submitting the papers to Jesus, allowing Him to do the papers through you and watching Jesus giving you the victory. Guys, before entering the hall, spend your time with Him. Submit your papers to Him and be His pen holder during the exam. Don get me wrong, i'm not saying that you no need to study for Os! do your part and God will do the rest! :D

Haaaaa AWESOME RIGHT!?!? I kept reading it again and again, it's so beautiful. God really works in mighty and wondrous ways which we dunno huh! Anyways the testimony is quite long and I don't have unlimited sms so you can see why I didn't sms it out..

Hope you've been blessed though!! Ask everybody to come and read ok!? And I mean EVERYBARDY! :DD

Keep flowing in the Spirit! Listen to sermons cos FAITH COMES BY HEARING! Jesus is Lord over our exams amen? (:

Love, Sherrie

Grace

Hey beloveds,

Really miss ya all lotsa! (:

Grace!

I love this quote which my friend realised. It must have been a revelation for her. Because it is for me. Hope you will be blessed by it too.

GRACE in short is RACE and shorter is ACE.

Grace will cause you to ace any race in life!

You are more than a conqueror in Christ.

You are the righteousness of God in Christ.

You are destined to reign in Christ.

You are the head and not the tail.

You are the beloved in whom the Lord is most pleased with.

You are His child.

Loves.

Accepting My Design
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2, by Os Hillman
09-01-2009

"Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?" (Rom 9:21).

My wife and I like to go to movies. She often comments about the lips of beautiful actresses: "Check those lips out! Boy, God sure short-changed me in the lip category," she laments. She has always felt her lips were too thin. Her girlfriends find her concern humorous and often kid her about it.

Have you ever wished that God made you differently? Perhaps you wished you were more athletic or could have a totally different career. Or perhaps you wished you were prettier or taller or even have a different nose.

God made every person differently and for different purposes. Not everyone is made to be in the public eye. Some are made to serve behind the scenes. It is important to know and be at peace with how and why God made you.
Paul tells us in Romans that we are all crafted out of the same clay. There is no one molded and shaped like you, No one has the exact personality as you. Your DNA is one of a kind.

God uses the common to produce the uncommon. No matter how inferior you may feel you are in a particular area, God desires to use you for His purposes. Your unique qualities are made to fit with the way He plans to use you for His purposes. This is why we must accept our uniqueness. We want His power to be manifested in our uniqueness.

Thank God today for the way He made you.

Bride that can't stop laughing during vows

Just wanna share this, it's so cute!
The guy is so nervous he starts by putting the ring on the wrong hand. Then he says "waffle-y" instead of "lawfully wedded wife". And the woman is so cute, she just laughs and laughs...haha:D

Psalm 1 - A psalm of blessings

1 Blessed is the man

Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stands in the path of sinners,

Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

We meditate on God's word...

3 He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

Therefore, we shall be as stable as a tree, deeply rooted in God's love. The river streams forth peace, where the tree just absorbs lotsa, lotsa water (peace) for photosynthesis!And our fruits SHALL be good results, family blessings and much more favours in every area of our lives. Good health is ours, and we shall not perish but have everlasting life(John 3:16).

4 The ungodly are not so,

But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

<3<3<3 Have a blessed week of holidays:)

2009-08-31T12:09:00.011+08:00

Our sins are our qualifications for going to the throne of Grace.

The difference between the holy textbook and school textbooks:
The Word enters our hearts(and stays there), while other info enters our brains(and sometimes leaves there as well). :p
(no wonder studying seems harder yeah...)

We're gonna embrace studying!

Have a blessed week:)

Mercy, not sacrifice

2009-08-27T17:03:00.013+08:00

"But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” -Matt 9:13

I came across this in the bible and decided to look it up, cause I couldn't understand it. Then God led me to this website... http://epistle.us/articles/mercy.html

I thought it was really sweet and lovely:)

A brief summary:
- The Pharisees were the self-professed "perfect" people. They served God, but in all the wrong ways. They led their lives to perfection, observing every law and commandment, believing to the extent that they were more perfect than Jesus lor. They decided that they were "righteous" enough to not need Christ's forgiveness and love.

- Matthew was a tax collector. Tax collectors were seen as sinners for they sometimes raised the taxes or stole for themselves. But Jesus chose to eat with the tax collectors and sinners. He came for the sinners. He came to save those people who acknowledged their spiritual poverty, and those who were hungry for spiritual knowledge; those who yearned to just receive from the abundance of God's grace. Oh it's also in Hosea 6:6..."For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."

Because we are sinners made righteous by the blood of Jesus; not by worth(ours), but by birth(Jesus). Jesus came specially for us. He doesn't desire any sacrifice from us, not to follow the laws to perfection, but to just let Him love us and yield to Him completely, to just get to know God more and more with each passing day of our lives. Jesus said, "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." It's such a blessed and easy life we're leading with Jesus, yeah... We are so loved lor:)

Sometimes, I feel that when I get to know my friends more and more, we start to see more of their strengths and their weaknesses as well. I rmb Coach Pat saying before that the one closest to you just gets the most rubbish from you... But each day, as we get closer to God with each coming day, we just get to see more and more of His strengths and goodness. Because our God is perfect. He never fails and He has no weaknesses. He's not going to get angry with us, reprimand us, or nag at us, even if we just make mistakes in life. Because to Him, we're like Jesus. We're every bit as beautiful and awesome as Jesus. And He loves us ALOT ALOT ALOT! And I thank God for this preferential treatment in our lives:)

Daddy loves us loads:)

The RADICAL t-shirt, at last!!!

2009-07-06T19:30:00.008+08:00

Hi everyone, the final version of the RADICAL t-shirt has been completed, with a few disappointments, but thank God its still done!

Apparently you guys have seen the original, but the shirt printers all say they cannot make that blood-flare thing behind the cross (yeah so sad rite) and there are some issues with font sizes.

----------
----------
The final version is here! Place your orders people! We have to inform the shirt printer alr!

Working 3am into the night yesterday to finish it haha, hope you guys like it!

2009-07-06T13:01:00.004+08:00

hi guys/girls. Hope you all had a great time at the study seminar. here are the notes on the seminar.

firstly, we must remember that people in the world study and labor because of fear. they are driven by fear. but WE, children of God need not fear, because we know our future is decided and God says that it is good :) but the reason we study and labor is because we know that God has given us that platform to shine and to outshine others. we are fight FROM victory and NOT for victory.

numbers 13:31-33
the israelites saw themselves small that's why their enemies see them small. we must not belittle ourselves, we are blood-bought, precious and victorious.
'do i see o levels/n levels as a zone for me to reign over?'
whenever we look to the Lord, we have a different spirit, one of boldness and full of courage.
when we study, actually God is equipping us and training us for better things, his purpose.

ephesians 2:4-10
have a high expectation of the richness of his grace.
our Daddy is abounding in grace and he is almighty. he loves outside time and it's not the amount of time left that matters. he can multiply it and give us length of days!
see the promises of God and know them well, because it belongs to us!

when studying, we must have a VISION because what we see will be manifested in our lives. have a good vision of success, whenever i feel demoralized, let that vision refresh me all over again.

romans 8:30
we are justified and God will surely glorify us, glorious things will come to pass because his wood declares so.
God wants to prosper me and bless me!

studying tips :
1) purpose, plan and pattern
-time table (dont be too charged up, but have a structure)
-quantity ( ask God for wisdom amd strength to help me study)
-realistic ( include time needed to gear up)
-study by the hour (go by the 60 mins chunk)
-time wasters (dont waste too much time doing other stuff, focus during that 60 mins and take a short break after that)
- momentum and speed (once the momentum is there, keep going and dont let that flame die down)

study environment
-own habitat
- quiet environment
-uncluttered environment
-full spectrum of light
-good ventilation
-greenery
-no distractions
-windows
-pastel colors
-instrumental music (try not to listen to music with lyrics because sub consciously, we are actually concentrating on the lyrics than on our work)

1 john 2:27
i'm studying with my Lord and the anointing in me will teach me ALL things, not one but ALL

2) momentum and might
-sleep early
-rest and nap
-recreation (when i plan to study, do it with all my might. when i play, give it my best)

here are some verses coach hee hjun gave us
2 conrinthians 5:21
proverbs 10:6-7
proverbs 11:8
proverbs 11:23
proverbs 11:30
romans 1:16
phillipians 4:13
Hebrews 13:6
1 corinthians 1:24-25
1 corinthians 9:24, 26

have a great time studying with jesus, he loves us dearly (:

2009-05-04T09:38:00.007+08:00

Hello all daddy's blessed beloved!

Guess many of you must have been busy in revision for your mid year exams, for some the mock test and double prelims after all it's one of the crucial times.

Have you ever thought, how come I studied so much already, it is still not enough? How come I seem to have finished studying already but it is still not complete? Wondering how good is good? How prepared is prepared? How finished is finished in my revisions?

Just do your best! Do whatever you can for your coming papers and jia you jia you till the end yeah! Remember the testimony during DARE service, let's trust that as you do the natural, in studying and preparing yourselve for your exams, Daddy God will do the supernatural! YEAH!?! (:

Sharing from last DARE and DG,

"My best must be out of the rest of God!" - Pastor Benjamin.
Keep seeing the grades that you want to receive and trust Daddy that you've and you will receive it. [Mark 11:24]
Eg. "I see that I am an A student, and I really believe it, I will act like it."

I pray that everyone that come along this website will know that Daddy God loves you dearly, because there is only one you! Even when we don't have the desire to study, don't be discourage for He can place that desire in you to study and to excel in your studies(not catherine only, not mabel only but YOUR studies!), because He is the God whom brings the increase [1 Corinthian 3:6]. It is your portion to reign above your studies! For He is the God who is able to work His miracle working power to work in us and through us! May the God of peace guards your heart and mind for such a time as this! Shalom shalom!

R.A.D.I.C.A.L is the place we call home, where family is.

Loves,
Caihua.

2nd round of photos

2009-03-09T16:40:00.004+08:00

Hi guys!!!

Decided to upload somemore photos today cos I know you all are dying to see your faces in 10 megapixels haha!!!

These are from last Saturday's dinner thing when I kinda showed up late. Unfortunately, most of the pictures are quite blur so I picked these.

--------
Some person whom I don't know ran off with my camera to take pictures of random people I don't know either so most of the photos taken on Saturday are classified as "should be deleted right now" stuff. I think it's her:

Under Justin's and Matthew's suggestions, no one outside Radical (or whom I don't know personally) will be allowed to use the DSLR, apart from people who are mature enough and capable of using the camera with a measure of care like Malcolm who visited us during the dinner.

-Jordan

Radical photos!!!

2009-03-04T18:35:00.006+08:00

Hey guys, Jordan here! Took me awesomely long to get the proper password to login haha!

Here's some of my non-individual-ppl picks of the 197 photos we managed to take in 2 days (yes, 197 3-4MB photos haha). Enjoy!

It takes quite long to upload the big photos so I decided to stop at 6. I burned ONE CD-R of the whole collection alr, can't burn more cos I just realised I finished my 50-disc stack...

Some of you haven't added me on msn yet, so far the only person I remember is Rachel, do add! I very bored wan, need someone to talk to: hellhoundmech_jordanleong@hotmail.com
-----------
Moving on, I have a testimony to share!

God is so good to all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) He gives us favour with everyone and everything!

Today my English teacher came over to me after the lesson and just told me "I think your English standard is very sharp, even better than the rest in class. I want you to be my English rep, replace (the other guy). Your standard is very high, I like the quality of your comprehension answers and essay". LOL, I don't even bother to study about English or anything, I just write by "instinct" and "feel". Thank God for this gift and favour with the English teachers (since pri sch).

I trust God will bless all our school endeavours and stuff in the year to come!!!

-Jordan

2009-02-27T20:20:00.003+08:00

Hello:)

Meishi's message of the rainbows yesterday gave me the urge to post!

My class was having PE last last Thursday when I saw this. Isn't it lovely?:) I was going blind staring at the Sun haha.

Pastor said during that really anointed service (Remember? the one with the blinking Sun?) that the rainbow around the Sun is like a crown of righteousness, that it reminds us that there will be no more judgement. The rainbow represents the throne of grace, and Daddy will never be angry with us again for He loves us:)

And this was taken yesterday!:) I couldn't see the double rainbow though...

May all of you have a favour-filled week:) byebye!

Well, we'll be dressing up for the season of CNY!!
Girls!! Do come in a dress and, GUYS!! Come in a shirt with a tie.
You will have lots of time to dress up enjoy urself and stuff at home yea.
BUT, please come down to kallang mrt by 5.3pm ok!! If ur worry that u'll be late, just plan your time by checking the time needed to travel there by means of any transport. =D
We'll be having dinner before the service. Its gonna be a very romantic place to have the meal. haha. I'm being sarcastic here yea. Try not to be in light coloured bottoms, just to warn you people beforehand.
Do look out for Keegen if you're meeting us at the kallang mrt station. Call him or scream his name out if you can't seem to find him yea. REMEMBER!! BY 5.30PM!!!
Those who are going there themselves, try to queue as early as possible. We'll either meet u in the queue or at the seating area. Do call Keegen once you're there too.
We'll be sitting at the WEST side, all the way in front, the most bottom sections yea. NOT THE FLOOR SEATS!! Look out for all the dare youths there!! haha.
Have a greatly blessed week ahead yea. Look forward for the annoited service on friday with jesus AMEN??
-matt.

2009-01-14T21:21:00.004+08:00

Finally, this sat dg theme is sorta comfirmed. =D
We're gonna wear jap. But, if u don't know what to wear, try something which looks jap. If it's really that difficult, i would suggest i really try to think of more =D sorry. just crapping around=D If you really do not know, come normally. For the hair, jap also[meishi's idea] as in the guys and girls.
We'll be buying sushi as an add-on. Wondering "why sushi??", because i sorta realised that the "puppets" were not utilised fully. So, sushi, just buy then before the service can eat it all up. Simple??
So, we'll be meeting at 1.15 outside the rock. Then go buy the sushi for the group. And finally head for service!! After service there's post-service sharing too!! Do stay for it ok!! Have a blessed week ahead!! See ya all on sat for dare!! =D And do spread around to those people to see this blog ok!! Thanks!!
-matt.

2009-01-12T22:13:00.002+08:00

Hey guys!!
This coming dare, themed japanese?? Think should be. One thing sure is that do come in something japanese. yea =D
So, i was trying to be lame, by just doing something simple. Just buy sushi and eat.
Anyways, if you have any ideas on sat, do feel free to tell us ok!!
CNY's round the corner!! I was suggesting on friday, before the special friday cny service, we meet up for a dg cny meal?? Sounds good?? Any violent objections??
We'll discuss more this coming dare ok!! And do keep the ideas for this saturday's dare theme comming in!!
Thanks.
-matt.

FIRST DARE GROUP OF THE YEAR!?!?!

2009-01-09T23:23:00.004+08:00

hey guys... hows DG today man?(my first post on this blog...or for the matter any blog) well i had a brand new revelation of the grace of GOD man... its abit late now but i wanted to share with those which never come what was shared during todays DG. we did bible study on Joshua 1:1~8 and Psalms 1:1~6.

ok...so Joshua who led the people of isreal into the promise land encountered giants. however, he saw them not as giant enemies BUT AS GIANT BREAD FOR US TO EAT. imagine how much we can grow(not horizontally) by eatting those huge giant piles of homework AMEN(i needed that)...

so verse 3 says that every where the soles of our feet tread upon will be ours for the taking.(soles here in hebrew literally means the sole of our feet AND the soles of all our belongings.) so rest in the finished work of the lord in your "o" levels for it is yous for the taking.(don't take your o levels paper and step on it ok?)

verses 5/6 proclaims that if the lord is for you, who can be agaist you? wanna compare the size of the lord to your homework? the lord is much bigger than the universe... he's a goggolplex times bigger den any of your circumstances. he will NOT FAIL YOU or forsake you. don;t care what your teachers say bout your results... cuz? JESUS WILL NOT FAIL YOU... he will giv you revelations in your studies amen?

verse 7/8 says that if we keep the law(Jesus kept the law PERFECTLY and as he is... so are we IN THIS WORLD which means we get all the benefits so don't find me saying i ask u all keep the law.) we will prosper whichever way we go. be in into triple science or double science... GOD created all the sciences.

that sums up Joshua... ok here comes psalms... and since i spent an hour on this...prepare for some CHIM-ology. wah this is so exicting... i feel like i'm preaching=.= ohh no... i wanna do back stage stuff... lord here i am...send me(back stage) ok... enough rambling... more good news.

PSALMS 1:1 blessed is the man(hebrew:steward) who walks(grow) not in the counsel(advise given) of the ungodly,nor stands(abide) in the way(a course of life) of sinners, nor sits(to abide) in the seats(dwelling places) of the scornful(people who like to scorn. so all we need to do is just don't grow on the advise from worldly people, don't live a life of sin. we should also try to avoid hanging out with people who always put us down. so remember to filter your eye/ear gates from the devil.(if u find trouble avoiding the scornful, just pray to the lord that he gives you the power/wisdom to avoid them.)

1:2 says to delight in the word of the lord. we should try to feed ourselves with the word of GOD. being fat with goodness is good right? goodness weigh nothing(i'm overweigh by the way) and to "meditate(to speak,mutter,ROAR,imagine,talk) day and night" on the word of the lord. and when you meditate on the word, you are pretty much eatting spiritually.

1:3 and he shall be like a tree(wood which signifies man) by(to be beside. so close that it is touching.) rivers(plural cause each of us have a "personal" river to tap from) of water(figuratively means body fluid) that brings forth(to give in great latitude of application) fruits(rewards) in his seasons. his leaf shall also not wither(fail or be disgraced) and whatsoever(ALL... E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G) he does(he is in charged of) will prosper(will bear fruit/rewards)

it basically means that just by accepting jesus, we have a river of life flowing within us which gives us rewards for our seasons(means ur amaths test coming up, GOD will give u a revelation on AMaths not chinese...or maybe both) our leaf(our organs and parts of our daily life) shall not fail. and EVERYTHING WE ARE INCHARGE OF WILL BEAR FRUITS.

1:4 the ungodly will be blown like chaff( unwanted stuff basically) away by a divine wind of GOD this verse is not saying that you will be blown away if you sin, but YOUR SINS HAVE BEEN BLOWN AWAY. we now no longer have sins in our lives and we are absolutely righteous in christ, so live life recieving the rewards for the righteous.

1:5 the ungodly(unrighteous) will not stand in judgement(judgement here is to BE JUDGE RIGHTEOUS. WE HAVE ALL BEEN JUDGE RIGHTEOUS.) nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous(righteous here is tsad-deek coming from tsad-dak which is to be GIVEN OR MADE righteous. we did not earn righteousness but we were given righteousness.)

1:6For the LORD knows(apointed) the way(the way of living) of the righteous(tsad-deek) but the way(way of living) of the ungodly shall perish(be voided of) does that mean the ungodly will die? yes by all means... the ungodliness within us will perish. we stand righteous before the lord because we are MADE righteous in the blood of christ.

and i hereby end my sermon. i suggest those that came for DG read too cause i added in alot of things i had no time to say during DG due to time. be blessed by what GOD has bless me with... Don't go holding back all the good stuff k? if any part of the "sermon" u feel uncertain about can always ask me cause i don't want you guys mis-understanding it. understanding it will really bless you though.

on a much lighter note, DG WAS AWESOME TODAY... i think its keng siang's first DG? even though i spent like only 1 hour doing the "sermon" up there, GOD seems to just speak to me and i feel so loved by him when there was like a small voice telling me all the little secrets in my head.wow... my first post sure is a lenghty one... must learn to cut down

2008-11-28T22:33:00.001+08:00

Greetings, everybody! :D

I am proud to declare that Jesus has sent me to revive this dead blog and give it ressurection life! Yeah, everybody say Amen!!! :) :) :)

Ok, so yesterday some of us Radicans (?) met up for a supposedly group outing and we caught 4 Christmases, played at the pool and took pictures! (Okay, mainly the girls, but still, !!!) :) And yes, it was a good day, good time with each other and I daresay we all had fun! Right? But it would've been better if everyone could've gone. That's highly unlikely though, because it's so hard to get everyone free and available on the same day! But nevermind, dont stop praying yeah guys!?! If it seems impossible for us, it's possible for Him :)

So anyw, here are the pictures we took! Ha hee horh, enjoy!!

At Vivo's rooftop, against the sunset. It's Meishi, Rachel, Amanda, Cheryl, Sherrie, Joey, Kia Min, Matthew, Justin. Some lady took this for us.

Girl power, man! Us girls in the waterpool waddling (rather uncomfortably for me la). Matthew the photographer-for-the-moment took this.

Unglam picture #1 - Joey and her ANNOYINGLY LOW BELT AND UNBUTTONED BLOUSE!!!!! grabbing for something, somewhere....

Joey took this random shot. She didnt even say "1,2,3" la!

SUPER UNGLAM SHOT #2 - Joey pulling out/down her wedgey/shorts/panty?, Cheryl looking leftwards, Sherrie (scariest) smiling tad bit too broadly at no one (look to her left, like no one's reciprocating her smile la!!!), Rachel in a 'i am bored' pose, Amanda looking out for idk who, always looking out..., and me, um with a weird pose and expression. I had no idea what i was thinking about....

Another random shot.

I was laughing.at something. Cheryl ever so sweet, smiling. Amanda's staring right at your face Matthew! Woah, watch out! LOL

Aw! Pretty Rachel posing for the camera in front of that nice christmas tree! This is so unusual, she hates taking pictures!!!! Must keep this for times' sake :D

Sorry Rachel but this just had to come right after your nice shot. (She is so gg to kill me for this) Hee

Randommmmm, again. Crazy monkey at the back.

Anddddddd not forgetting our photographer-of-the-moment.. - Matthew!! Taken by Joey. Good shot right? Lol Thnks Matthew, from all of us!

This is the really cute botak boy whom Sherrie, Amanda and i were trying to woo, as in, get the attention of and take a picture with. But um, obviously we failed. :( :)

Joey's artwork. Temporary evidence of her presence there at Vivocity's rooftop on the 27th November, Thursday, at around.. 640pm Hah

Managed to capture this beautiful shot of the cable cars amidst the setting sun. Actually the sun reminds me of Jesus' face shining ever so brightly 'like the sun' and the pictures during service.. Looks more like something you'll see on TV, not bad ah!

Our view in the...Northwest? Ha ha and the hugee christmas tree!

And last but not least... THE BEST PIC OF THE DAY I'D RECKON!

JUSTIN IN PINK! Imagine that! Any by the way, he wasn't squirming. He was simply too elated :D

Yeapppp that's all the pictures that we took ytd. Dont worry, we will take moreeee! Ha ha it's always me who initiates it i think some ppl find it rather annoying!! Ha ha sorry cant help it... Anyw i just wanna say smthg before i log outta!

Thnks everyone in RADICAL for making me feel so welcomed and loved! Im sure Rachel shares my sentiments too. It's been so much good fun with everyone of you for like what, the past 3 months only? And i really am thankful for each and everyone of you who's a great blessing to me! Really, man. And camp's coming, that speaks of greater, better fellowship and times spent together! Im sure it's gonna be a BOMB with Daddy God's hand upon it so yeah man keep looking forward to it! Yeah so really thnk you everyone for being so friendly and making me feel part of ya'll even though im super new. Im really blessed to be part of RADICAL with such great, godly and positive and happy ppl and a leader as great as Coach Mel! Amen amen amen! :) I've never regretted one moment since i've became a 'radical'. :) Yeah, appreciate everyth so much ppl!! This is God's love man. And im sure as we flow thru next year and the many more times ahead there will be an abundance of goodness together as His love guides us thru it all, yeah? :)

Anyw camp briefing's tmr so ill see you all there!! Sounds wayyyyyyy excitingggg omg at least my blogging crave is satisfied. :B

Take care everyone, God loves you!! And he nvr fails.. :) :) :)

Gdnight, sleep tight and dont let the bed bugs bite!!

MOVIE + DG OUTING TOMORROW (24 OCT 08)

Hello all, sorry this is late but I've been real busy.

We'll meet at 3.30 pm at Yishun MRT, Y/Y? (:

Yes~

SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW!~

The ticket costs $8.50 + booking cost to be shared by everyone, and we're having dinner together, so bring enough ok!

Sherrie.

movie outing~

2008-10-21T14:36:00.003+08:00

HELLO EVERYBODEHHHHHH :D

As most of you all know already, we're having a super duper fun-filled action-packed (ok la not really) excitingggggggg DG outing before daregroup this Friday (24/10)!! :D

HEEHEE. It's Amanda's and Donatus' idea, so we should really thank them yeah.

Anyway! We're gonna watch HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 before having dinner then going for DG together! :D veh special one ok?! We're watching it on its premiere date hehehehheh. :D don't pretend that you don't want to watch!

Yeah, so here are our options:

A) 4.30 pm show at GV Yishun (Northpoint)
B) 4.30 pm show at Cathay AMK Hub

LOL. That's it, really. I've checked and I found out that Cathay Orchard isn't even showing it. Same for Eng Wah Cinemas, though I don't know why. GV Bishan only has shows from 7 pm onwards, which is really too late already. Haha. Yeah.

So those are our options ok? Go and vote for which one you want at the tagboard ((:

To all the old-timers, it's been a really long time since we've all properly met up with each other - remember how much fun we had last year? Plus there are many new people for you all to get to know!

And to all the new people, here's a chance for you to get to know more of us better ((:

Jesus' heart for everyone is, really, to have kingdom friendships and be rooted in His love leh. So do make an effort to come, and bask in His love through Godly fellowship ((: He never disappoints.

In addition to voting, you'll need to sms me to confirm that you're coming so that I can BOOK SEATS FOR US :D yeah, cos it's the opening date, so we might not get to sit together if we buy the tickets on that day itself. I'll probably book on Thursday afternoon or something, hopefully. [:

If you don't have my number, just leave a tag on the tagboard ok!

Sherrie.

Hello here are the seriously long-awaited photos from the queue at The Zone concert on 24th May :DDD heh.

Sherrie :D

2008-05-11T18:01:00.003+08:00

got this card from somebody, thought it was pretty meaningful:)

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day

I had so much to accomplish

that i didn't have time to pray

Problems just tumbled about me,

and heavier came each task

"Why dosen't God help me?"

I wondered,

He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,

but the day toiled on grey and bleak,

I wondered why God didn't show me,

He said, " You didn't seek".

I tried to come into God's presence;

I used all my keys in the lock,

God gently and lovingly chided

"My child, you didn't knock,".

I woke up early this morning,

and paused before entering the day

I had so much to accomplish,

that i had to take time to pray:D

Our Sentosa Pics

2008-04-21T21:01:00.004+08:00

Hey beloveds,

Sorry for taking so long to upload the pictures for our Sentosa outing... I've been quite caught up with my work and stuff so here they are finally... I'll send the more personal ones to your email account. Enjoy! =)

This is us while waiting to board the monorail into Sentosa...

This is us at Siloso beach where we saw some TCS actresses filming and playing volleyball...

And this is where we eventually ended up when the rain started to come and go..at the pool table!

And finally these are taken on our way to dinner before heading home!=)

Till the next time we get to go out together....live life to the fullest! =)

The DGL whom Jesus loves,

Coach Mel

Photos from bible study at Millenia Walk 160308

2008-03-16T22:15:00.005+08:00

Hey beloveds,

Let's resurrect this blog k? I know everyone is busy with your own things but let's remember to value the kingdom friends that God has given us and continue to share and encourage one another through the DG and this blog.

We had a good session of bible study after service today at Millania Walk - do come and join us next time and be edified! =) Remember to bring along your bibles!

From left: Vinosha, Geraldine, Sherrie and me (Jeremy was our photographer!)

From left: Sherrie, Vinosha, me and Geraldine (Jeremy was our photographer again...)

The grace of God be strong in your lives as you start a new term. I pray that you'll see new breakthroughs in this semester as you grow in the love and revelation of Jesus! Victory is already given - receive it and reign!

Love much,

Coach Mel

You have a platform

2008-01-15T23:25:00.000+08:00

Dear beloveds,

Here's a short summary of what was preached on Sunday by Pastor Brian Houston. For those of you who missed the service or sat through but didn't understand, he was basically saying that God has given to each of us a certain amount of influence (may be through our gifting or position) and not to despise it but be faithful to it because He can use it to bring glory to Him. He also reminds us not to lose sight of what God has placed in our hearts when we are faced with distractions in the form of opposition or attacks but to stay faithful to it. When what we are doing lines up with the dreams that God has put in our hearts and the words that we speak about it, great things will happen.

Neh 8:4-6
You have a platform – don’t underestimate the platform that you have
Be a steward over the platform God has given to you
Even an attack can become a testimony for God
You have a platform:

of purpose,
of stature (elevated platform),
that brings glory to God (being faithful to the platform) and
has great impact and influence (a place where great things can happen)

God uses people so don’t undervalue what is in your hands
The statue of your platform will grow when you are faithful to it
There is always a Hitler (represents opposition) in the crowd – don’t come down to his level or let his voice determine the way in which you live
Jesus fulfilled God’s purpose by staying on the cross even when people were mocking and questioning Him
“If you are the Son of God..” – the people questioned Jesus’ authority. Don’t let your authority as a child of God to be undermined.
Neh 6: 1-3 God had given Nehemiah a dream to rebuild the wall but there were people trying to get him to come down.
Distractions may come in the form of mindsets or values to cause you to stray from the bigness that is in your heart
Some people never stepped up into the opportunities that they have
Don’t let the fear of making a mistake stop you from taking the adventure of faith
Psalm 45:1 When what you have in your heart, your platform and the words that you confess line up, it is powerful.

Be blessed! =)

Love,
Coach Mel

2008: A Year of Manifested Blessings

2008-01-06T23:19:00.000+08:00

Hello my BELOVED R.A.D.I.C.A.L.!!

Blessed Blessed New Year!! =) I’m really excited for this year because of the new things that are happening in my life and the expectancy of GOOD THINGS that I know God has in store for me and all of you as well. I’m already hearing some of the good things that are happening to some of you and I know that God is positioning many of you in your schools in leadership roles or opening doors for you to take part in competitions and so on. Know that it’s the favour of God at work and that same favour will equip you for the work that is to come. God will use you in these positions of influence to show forth His glory so go and shine for Him!!

For those of you whom I haven’t gotten to catch up with yet, know that the favour of God is going to be so strong in your life and God’s blessings are going to hit you left, right, centre and everywhere. Just picture a giant magnet (that’s you) and the many pieces of metallic objects that are drawn to it (God’s blessings). That’s how it’s going to be this year, a year of MANIFESTED BLESSINGS!

Some of you might know that I am currently looking for a new job and while waiting for it to come, our Daddy God gave me TWO openings for a temporary job in a single day. I’ve already started working at one of the two places so He is really faithful to take care of our needs. The best part is, I’m really enjoying what I’m doing though I’m given rather tight timelines and I look forward to going to work! I pray that it will be the same for all of you going to school as well, that it’ll just be so good that you’ll look forward to it!

If you find that your year hasn't started off too well, don't be disheartented. Know that it's just gonna get better because the BLESSINGS of God are upon you!

We’ll be having our very first DG session this Friday evening at Cressebella’s house!! Come expecting to receive from Daddy God and be blessed by one another.=) Details are as follows:

Venue: Blk 99C Toa Payoh Lor 2 #08-21
Time : 7.30 – 9.30pm
Meeting info: Braddell MRT Station Control @ 7pm

Remember to sms me to let me know if you are coming so we’ll know whether to wait for you.

See all of you soon and have a FAVOUR-FILLED week ahead! The dew of heaven be upon you!

Daddy's beloved princess,

Coach Mel

Deut 28:2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord.

(Jesus has obeyed so that the blessings will be yours today!)

Good day everyone, how was school today! Its the third day of school and is everyone getting settled alright or are you recovering from the shock after being in holiday mood for so long and nearly forgetting there is something called school work.Our of curiosity, how does it feel to be 1 year older, and with another badge of juniors under you, (referring to all new sec 1s)and for some, how is it lugging your bag an extra level to your new classrooms? Well whatever it is, hope all the people here are doing well and looking forward to a great new year saturated with god's blessing.

HAHA all that prep talk. Always wanted to do that :)

Well if you aren't settled down as yet, you'll have the entire weekend to do so and chill, so yippee!

Greatest apologies to all you toons. I probably will not be able to come for many dare and Dg sessions now that school has started... in addition I'll be going to main service with my parents now but yeah what is one to do? *looks resigned* I'll try to stay on track and will pop in from time to time but thats more or less all. Yup yup BTW you all rock! Keep me updated okay? Thanks.

Cheers
LSC!

MERRRRRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

christmas is abt jesus's bday and not santa claus or exchanging gifts or wthever lah, REMEMBER IT ! :)

BELDA :D

2007-12-21T12:43:00.000+08:00

UMMMMM, actually right. for the entrance fee i think you guys should bring $14.70 cos uh, we'll be going in in groups of 4. cuz groups of 4 hor no overtime charges.

and it's wayyyy cheaper than going in individually! cos if you're going in by yourself over time charges will be approx $5.30 per hour. SO YUPPPP.

and please don't come in shorts.

geral.

Sherrie

PS - i've updated our profile and links section!! :DDDD yay so now our blog's like super complete la! Haha.

Profile page - look at the names of the people. A lot of names which you don't recognise right!! Well, keep praying that they'll come for dg outings and that we'll all be able to get to know them! ((: some of them might end up being your commando friends ok! I've spoken to a lot of them over the phone and they're really nice. (:

Links - if you have a blog just go and link yourself la! :D

2007-12-16T22:09:00.000+08:00

Haha, yeah it's normal for my posts to be long: As the saying goes, 'It is the silent ones that think the loudest.'

n I can assure you that through my years of canoeing life, I've never seen a female canoeist back out from a training session because of a 'Red Alert' . (Feels very weird talking about this :S) But over all, we'll just have to paddle by Faith (and not by sight) that everything goes smoothly

P.S. So when does the voting end? And for that case, when is the decided destination comfirmed/declared? (Orchard is winning: Shows that North-zone people love to chill in the South :P)

2007-12-14T15:34:00.000+08:00

Hey, come 2 think of it, kayaking and ice skating r very close 2 each other.

Der's only 1 ice skating rink in S'pore, n that's @ Juring Entertainment Centre. So da closest kayaking place is Jurong Lake. That's, like 2-3 bus-stops away from each other, or you can even just walk since it's almost like frm SAFRA Yushun 2 Yushun Interchange, for those who went bowling.

So if rAiN is da main concern, I propose we try kayaking first s a main plan (hey, pay 1hr [$5], get nother hr free!). DEN if it rains, we can still quickly change-plan 2 Jurong Entertainment Centre n go ice skating.

Both ways, we still have 2 go 2 Jurong, so 'change-plan' is juz a few footsteps away lor. N if it rains half-way through kayaking, GooD - bcause den 2hrs already finish lor, so can move on to ice skating another 1hr 40 min (I take it it's 2-6{4 hrs} like last time). But if u think ure too wet n da rink will b too cold den can still go arcade, lor. AND if still not enuf, then I think der's still a few shops along da Entertainment Centre, so if u nid to barangbarang, can still go (cheaper den Orchard, wad).

Da only problem wiv this is just clothing if we nid to quickly change plan, but kayaking always nid spare clothings nyway so doesn't really matter. Price-wise, nid around $20 (Kayaking+IceSkating+Dinner+Arcade[if u wan, lah]).

1 way or another, praise da Lord we're still 1 united RADICAL so 2gether we can still hav FUN! Where unity is concerned, Belda explained ice skating, and the '$5-for-2hr' offer is for 2-seater kayaks, so we can pair up and be united in that sense! N if we're really xchanging gifts on water, den juz remember to bring ziplock, lor! (But it'll also b funny 2 try 2 pass each other gifts on ice, cause we may end up sliding da wrong direction n giving 2 strangers, lol!)

1st things 1st, God's still in control of our lives, and He'l know how to get optimum fun 4 us all! So we'll just hav 2 ask Him to show us what He thinks is best 4 us to do: if He wans us 2 ice skate, He'll send rain; if He wans us 2 kayak, He'll send sun!

But I dunno, I juz giving my suggestion hor. Ny1 got other ideas?

-Miguel (Wah, Singlish is harder than I expected :S)

2007-12-13T20:27:00.001+08:00

I WANT ICE SKATING!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR

haha,of course,thats my personal opinion only

because i feels that ice skating we can be more bonding,somemore if we go in in grp admission,no overtime charges!!which means we can skating the whole day till our leg breakkkkk...LOL

somemore,is indoor leh!not need worry abt the weather and all :)

belda
ps.taggggg more taggggg more !

err... lol

2007-12-12T17:00:00.000+08:00

Greetings from Chicago =P

2007-12-09T05:31:00.000+08:00

Hey beloveds!!

How are you guys doing back in Singapore? Had fun during your outing? I'm sorry I missed it but we'll go out again before school opens ok?

I'm currently staying with Shile (one of our previous camp nurses) at her hostel here in Chicago and I've been shopping A LOT (bought a second luggage which is filling up too and I haven't even gone to New York where shopping is supposed to be even better than here) and visiting the major museums here. I went for an architectural tour too..it's actually quite interesting how the styles evolved through time and how architecture is influenced by external culture, disasters, function and technology.

Have gone for a Chinese fellowship session with Shile - the Chinese Christians here are really nice and warm, and according to Shile, the hunger is tremendous. We are so blessed in NCC, where Pastor feeds us really well and we have excellent musicians. Over here, everything is not tip-top but God still moves and He still blesses people. It's just sad that people don't know how much they have in Christ that they cannot walk in the fullest of their inheritance. So my dear youths, don't short-change yourselves coz you have been given so much! Pray that the truth of the gospel will set many lives free. =)

Today's been a lazy day where I just did my laundry and some packing and nothing much else so far. Will be going to visit a friend with Shile in a short while. Thank God for her - staying with her has been like taking refuge from the demands of life in Singapore and I'm really taking the break that I so need and I would like to say deserve. So pray that I will be a greater blessing to you when I return. God has been really loving me in my own love language so I'm really thankful for that.

ok, gotta go and prepare to go out already. It's snowing again =) I've tasted my first experience of snow and I think I'm really satisfied in that aspect. Have always wanted to see snow and though I didn't expect or ask for it this time round (have been to other cold countries in winter), God still fulfilled my heart's desire.

Will show you guys pictures next time round - not much time to upload here coz Shile is doing her finals assignments and needs the computer. I'll do it when I return to Singapore. In the meantime, stay blessed and loved by Daddy God!

Blessed,
Coach Mel

VIRGIN POST!!

2007-12-03T13:04:00.000+08:00

Hey all Radicals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Camp was awesome yeah?! (((: heh. All those who loved it, BREATHE!!!!! Omg haha camp was so awesome. Everyone loves it!!

Ehhhhhhh. LOOK! THIS IS OUR VERY OWN RADICAL BLOG! :DDD woo hoo! Praise God!! ((((: if you're reading this, you've already gotten the e-mail with the camp group pics and info about our dg outing this Saturday (8th Dec!) :D

Remember:

WHAT DG OUTING! We're going bowling! ((:
WHERE Yishun Safra!
WHEN Meeting at 1.30 pm at Yishun Interchange
WHO Radical of course, with Coach Lily cos Coach Mel's gonna be in the States for a holiday (: (I've asked her to get Krispy Kremes for us! :D HOHO.)
$$$ slightly more than $10 just to be safe. Haha. $3.80 per game!

Yup, that's about it yeah :D and and and, as I promised, camp photos will be up soon! Mm, we'll get everyone who took pictures to contribute, one by one ok :D

Omg do you feel the loooove x) I dunno about you but I do! Jesus loves us so so so much that we're all spilling over and loving each other too (((:

... ...

I'll tell you something. That Botanic Gardens outing right, we (well, the few people who attended, anyway) were the opposite of what you see today lah. And and and I was believing for us to come together, like really hard cos no one wants to be in a family who they don't enjoy right?

And guess what my singlemost revelation was!!

You calm the storms
Raise the dead
You cause the blind to see and the lame to walk again
Yesterday, today
Forever You're the same

HAHAAAA REALLY LEH!! But praise God, He loves us so much that he made us into the complete polar opposite of what we were at the Botanic Gardens ((: He'd made the BLIND have SIGHT you know! Means that whatever that guy didn't have AT ALL, Jesus turned it around so that he had IT ALL! His strength is made PERFECT in our weakness!!

Aren't you so glad that Jesus is our God?! (((: and that He loves us soooo much? Remember yesterday's sermon? Just be conscious that you're His beloved, and all your giants will come crashing down (: really really.

And that's why I've set our signature (at the end of every post) as by "the youth whom Jesus loves". Anddddd I'm expecting great things to happen for us! (: believe with me alright. (ok this post got waaaay longer than I meant it to get)

Omg I FEEL THE LOOOOOOVE!

- Sherrie :D

HAPPY LAR!!
