"DO NOT remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

Isaiah 43:18-19

Moses, and that Moses

2008 is woohoo~, a very "good" year for me. Looking back, just wondered what exactly have I acheived. Spiritually I've grown, character wise I've changed. But 2008 is really not good enough. There must be something more.

Yes, there must be something more. 2008, I'm still not wise in my time and money, still loves to procrastinate, still not disciplined in various aspects of my life.

School life is stressful. I'm very much affected by the "knifes" flying in class. I'm furious when people just...just CMI, though sometimes it's really my own folly. Many times I stumbled. And I found that I'm not as cheerful, not as bold, not as full of faith as before.

Recently I've been looking at the life of Moses. Yes, that Moses who split the Red Sea, not the food critic who split the Red Lobster.

Moses is a much talked about character, he is a hero of faith. He was the one who led the Israelites out of Egypt, he was the one who was so close to God that he saw His back.

Hebrews 11:24-28
24 It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
25 He chose to share the oppression of God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin.
26 He thought it was better to suffer for the sake of Christ than to own the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his great reward.
27 It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible.
28 It was by faith that Moses commanded the people of Israel to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons.

But...

Yes, Moses was as such. But as I begin to read Exodus, Holy Spirit just began to pound on in, hard.

Exodus 2:11-15
11 Many years later, when Moses had grown up, he went out to visit his own people, the Hebrews, and he saw how hard they were forced to work. During his visit, he saw an Egyptian beating one of his fellow Hebrews.
12 After looking in all directions to make sure no one was watching, Moses killed the Egyptian and hid the body in the sand.
13 The next day, when Moses went out to visit his people again, he saw two Hebrew men fighting. “Why are you beating up your friend?” Moses said to the one who had started the fight.
14 The man replied, “Who appointed you to be our prince and judge? Are you going to kill me as you killed that Egyptian yesterday?” Then Moses was afraid, thinking, “Everyone knows what I did.”
15 And sure enough, Pharaoh heard what had happened, and he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in the land of Midian. When Moses arrived in Midian, he sat down beside a well.

In the days of Moses, Pharaoh is government, government is Pharaoh. Law is Pharaoh, Pharaoh is law. Moses killed 2 people. Under the rule of Pharaoh, Moses had committed a crime! He is a murderer! It is only after Moses saw that burning bush, that he began to have a intimate relationship with God. One touch from heaven and our lives are never the same again.

The truth is, the world judges, hurts and condemns, but God forgives, heals and accept. Many times I felt too condemned to walk on, to breakthrough, to shine. But He always convince me otherwise. He forgave, healed and accepted Moses, so will He forgive, heal and accept you and I. When you're not faithful, He is always faithful.

This season...Son

oh my oh my~ i should really go and cut my hair....

10 Great Reasons to cut hair

1) Due to global warming, Singapore is now such a hot country...and that thick bush on my head traps the heat and makes me perspire.

2) My parents like to buy "Buy 2 get 1 free" shampoo, normally only I'll go and get some proper ones. Shorter hair = lesser shampoo being used = shampoo last long = save money.

3) "Men without vision shall perish". My long hair blocks my sight!~ When I walk, 60% of the time my hand is "holding" up my hair so that I can see clearly what's ahead.

4) When I drink soup, my hair "drinks" with me :-)

5) I don't want my face to be slammed by basketball because of blocked sight.

6) Long hair tickles my face ^^

7) There are still 2 tubs and 2 tubes of wax, 2 tubes of gel waiting to be used. No point using them now, they can't support my long hair.

8) They say my hair is untidy. Sometimes I agree with them.

9) Cliff says my hair looks ok, so does Joshua and the other guy, I think so too. But Yong Xiu says not nice! Michelle ask me go cut my hair~ so does Rena and Jasmine -.-"

10) Ok, here's a sequel to "thank you lord". When I work night shift last night, an uncle came in and say "Xiao Jie (lady), still got sell Straits Time?"......I was stunned, so was he...



Went for Cliff's discipleship just now. I thought I know something, but the truth is that I really know nothing.

Holy Spirit show me and guide me.

owned

woo~ my goodness, it can be fun to be owned in dota, but not in exam.
had my biomedical physics exam 2day....man.....it is literally "mutated" maths
lahz!~...i walked in with confidence and walked out drained. all the hardest qns from past year papers came out this year... -.-" i never like maths, besides using it for counting my money, i really don't like it.

when i walked out the exam hall, i was still in a state of "shock" -.-" ....should go to chua chu kang rite away preparing something, but instead i went home, took my guitar and prayed...God is good :) even if i did not do as well as i've expected, i'll still love Him, serve Him.

Daniel 3:17-18
17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”

Woo~! 1st paper "slaughtered", 3 more to go~ it dosen't matter how i started, it's how i end it. Cliff taught us in men's discipleship that we should be a good finisher. yes, i'm still casting my eyes upon GPA 3.

anyway, should be able to get a B at least for biophysics...
woo~ mon is my engineering maths exam....wah....so exciting....-.-"

^_^ SHOUTING OUT LOUD TO THE GOD WE SERVE

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...thank God i still know what is a blog. Had an early Sabbath ^^ suppose to have it on fri but i'm not feeling well and did not went to sch so...i came to blog^^

Man, this semester is so hectic, stressful and chaotic. Completed 4 projects and 2 more due on wed. After that i'm a free man once again~ erm no, still have my main exam -.-" Interesting fact about myself i've noticed, there is never 1 project in my life, and i mean it when i say 'never', that i completed without rushing through(sorry to my project mates who always got a heart attack when project due dates are near ^^), doing last minute work. Yeah, i squeezed projects which people spent weeks to do into a few days....^^ God gave me grace everytime, but I don't want to take advantage of my Dad. It's time for a change man...

Life is tough, but God is good. Exam's coming soon, and i'm excited, coz i'm gonna break through GPA 2.75, I want a GPA of 3.

The past few weeks, or i should say, months, had been amazing. There are ups and downs, and the seas are always rough. But i thank God, my character is being moulded, my spirit man is strengthened. Life's only life when there are challenges. I'm living, and not just existing ^_^

Father I pray that I'll know you more and more,
as I take a step towards you God, draw closer to me,
let me get deeper into your presence, into your heart and thoughs.
Whatever things I do, I pray for patience. In my studies, in my ministry,
and in my relationships with family and friends, I pray that God, You'll anoint me.
God, teach me how to pray.
