11:59 PM
today is father's day.. and, its also my sister's 18th birthday... and my whole family went out for dinner together :) nice meal... and we went to the supermarket together... i think, its the first time we went together... enjoyable.
i woke up early today, for service... bt well, i was late.. lols! i was supposed to meet amy at 7.45am. but i woke up at 7.56am. LOL! so, i rushed to the mrt station... and yes, there was combined service today, so it is at 9am.. woohoo! i love walking to the mrt station in the morning because i wont sweat :) HEHEE! on the train to expo, i was telling amy about some la bi xiao xin stories and she was laughing madly... amy is really funny. and she calls her pig 'ah' LOL!!! anyway, we reached church rather late... almost 9.30am :( and the worship was ending.. but anyway, i was standing at the top there.... and i looked down, woah man! the view was so beautiful! the whole hall was filled with people! and not just people... its people of God! i like combined service.. even tho after service, u'll get squeezed like a fluff toy... but its still nice ;) and the sermon was really great too! and the chinese translator was funny. lols! ok, the sermon was about... the bread of life... i caught something that was said by my pastor.. smth like that: "nothing can satisfy you. only the bread of life can! u can be the most successful person in the world. richest, but empty." and i agree with that. though im a believer for only.... 2 and a half years, i realised that indeed, nothing can satisfy me... there were times i just didnt bother abt God, put him aside and did my own things.... but what do i feel? miserable. i can be lying and slacking at home, but not feel rested at all. And only God can satisfy my needs.
during service today, we sang a very nice song... yea... i just changed my blog song to that.. wahhaa! anyway, i rmb hearing this song during service before.. some time ago... cant really rmb... maybe this yr, maybe last yr. but i can rmb that when i was listening to that song, i was feeling very depressed and upset about things in life... and tt song reminded me about it. well, the lyrics of the song.... "im desperate for you. im lost without you" the exact words that described what i was feeling that time i guess. yeaps, a very touching song.
today, i was reading john... i forget to read my john yesterday... and as i was reading john 14, oh.. the words just spoke to me... "In my father's house, there are many rooms; if it were not so, i would have told you. i am going there to prepare a place for you. and if i go and prepare a place for you, i will come back and take you with me tt u may also be where i am." and my eyes was filled with tears when i read this verse "I will not leave you as orphans; i will come to you." haha.. john 14 is meant to be read today. hahaha! i think if i read it yesterday, i will just scan thru. so, thank God! haha :)
