Today's the day. We are finally leaving for Mongolia.
It's been a long long time since we first started and all for this purpose. God's purpose.
God's global glory.
Though I'm physically down, I'm excited! I cant wait to see His beautiful love and grace that He has lavished upon the Mongolians. Yet on the other hand, I am excited to see how the Word of the Lord is coming through. How christian brothers and sisters coming from different background, different worldview, different culture worship the Lord and how we work together for the same cause. Indeed, in the end, tongues of all tribes and nations will praise the name of the Father!
Lord,
help us to catch a glimpse of heaven. Thank you for giving us the privilege to be part of your saving grace and saving work. Because truly Father, you are self-sufficient and you do not need human hands. How wonderful it is to have us partaking Your work like this!
Satan's darts have definitely been strong and he is no doubt working harder to get us down.
But
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." 1 Cor 10:13
And
"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Phil 1:6
For
"And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" Rom 8:30-32
PRAISE THE LORD!

Peeking into the boys' world.
Guns.
War.
Legal system.
Fights.
Engineering.
anything else?
ya ok there was. mainly movies. But again. war shows. haha
Well, it was good anyways. Met the guys for supper. Was hoping Chingz would turn up but she didn't. Nevertheless it was some kind of an 'awkward' fun to be listening to the male's world. The church guys. I was glad that they were discussing bout John MacArthur's sermon and christian ethnics in the very perverse and crooked world we'll be working in (besides the guns and war). They asked so do you kill a convicted person if instructed by someone working in the government but not via the proper channels...sth like that (or rather.. thats what I think they discussed about). Didn't know half the things they were talking about anw..
But far better than just talking about lustful stuff. Females and males. alike.

Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth, Would care to know my name, Would care to feel my hurt. Who am I? That the bright and morning star, Would choose to light the way, For my ever wandering heart.
Bridge: Not because of who I am, But because of what you've done. Not because of what I've done, But because of who you are.
Chorus: I am a flower quickly fading, Here today and gone tomorrow, A wave tossed in the ocean, A vapor in the wind. Still you hear me when I'm calling, Lord, you catch me when I'm falling, And you've told me who I am. I am yours. I am yours.
Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin Would look on me with love And watch me rise again. Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea, Would call out through the rain, And calm the storm in me.
Not because of who I am, But because of what you've done. Not because of what I've done, But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading, Here today and gone tomorrow, A wave tossed in the ocean, A vapor in the wind. Still you hear me when I'm calling, Lord, you catch me when I'm falling, And you've told me who I am. I am yours.
Not because of who I am, But because of what you've done. Not because of what I've done, But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading, Here today and gone tomorrow, A wave tossed in the ocean, A vapor in the wind. Still you hear me when I'm calling, Lord, you catch me when I'm falling, And you've told me who I am. I am yours. I am yours. I am yours.
Whom shall I fear Whom shall I fear I am yours.. I am yours..
Lord,
Thank you for the song to remind me about its not about what I've done. Though what I've done does make an impact somehow but it will because of you... Lord.. may you have mercy on your people and that people who cross my path, good or bad, see the loving bits of me because of You and see the bad in me because of sin. May they taste the sweetness of Your love and witness the greatness of Your power! You the Lord of the earth hear me when I called..and caught me when I fell..Thank you Lord.

What's wrong with me!!
The idea was really to give way and be kind... but my body just wouldn't barge.
I guessed I really wanted to teach her a lesson on basic courtesy but I did the obvious opposite. I wanted to let her have a taste of how distasteful it was to not show a little bit of concern for people in the same lift.
What's wrong with her!?
Teenager! I bet she's bout 16years of age. It really didn't reflect well when she entered the lift, pressed the button of the level she's going to and didn't even bother asking the rest of the people in the lift. She just stood there and watched. For goodness' sake...how much does it take for you to open that mouth of yours!
Ok.. I thought I should have given her the benefit of doubt.Maybe she was having a terrible day... but still. Roar. Likewise for me. I know I shdn't have handle it this way la. Then I was scolded by my mum for not giving her the space to get out! Great. I dunno why I reacted that way. Honestly I was just pissed at her behaviour and that girl just doesnt seem to really care. The worst was... my mum kinda hinted that its none of my business that the girl behaved this way. TRUE in a sense. It's upsetting to know that because this is the way adults think, no wonder kids these days are becoming from bad to worse.
Now, who's the culprit really..
Parents.
Stop complaining.
Maybe you haven't really understand what the world is coming to and the amount of damage you have contributed.
True, vice versa for the younger ones but come on. Have parents been a better example, kids today may not have been that bad. Sin. Isn't that so real. whether in my small ridiculous episode and the world at large today.
ok.. Self control.self control. Be rational, Ting!

Honestly..
I'm very nervous bout the english lessons we have to teach there... :x
I'm totally not prepared or rather we barely started.
The amount of information and the strategies to teach my most hated subject overwhelmes me. English language. The very medium we use to communicate everyday is also the very last thing most of us know how to teach. At least for me, it is the case. I've worked so hard for GP in JC and it still came out as a C6. Obviously, language, english language is simply not my cup of tea! ARRRGGGHHH I can't stop complaining! I've totally no idea whatsoever how to teach TENSES! it seems to be the easiest and the hardest at the same time!!!!
I rather do all the games, all the activites to teach than coming up with what to teach and how to teach it! Each of us are expected to take one group each. hmm. im totally not confident about this. O Lord! Teach usSSSSS!!! Teach meee!!! this has to be some divine intervention lo! O Lord!! Have mercy!! :(

Just me
"Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint." Isa 40:30-31
