Last night was our first combined meet in OCF in 2007. It was an evangelistic night. I had a busy week n I struggled with time management and trying to meet the deadlines. But my Friday nights are always blocked for God n OCF as I have done for the past 2 years. The family is forever so warm n new people are always welcomed into our mist.

For the first time, I prayed with Linda yesterday. A young sister devoted to God which really encouraged n inspired me. Somehow I noticed something different about her. Her enthusiasm for God struck me.

I was with the ecamp comm. for the most of the evening helping out for the registration. The turnout is really great and everyone is already getting excited abt Easter Camp. My heart is expectant of ecamp.

Yesterday during the altar call that was after the sermon, when the last song was playing, God brought someone into my mind in regards to salvation. Someone that he asked of me to pray for in the past 1 yr. I promised God to persevere on in prayer and faith. Something specific which God asked of me which I will not disclose but its between me n God. The promise made last night to my Father shall be honoured.

It’s a night of remembrance. It’s a night of love. It’s a night of rejoicing for the souls which are saved.

All good things come from God….

This morning, just as I opened my eyes, the devil tried to take a foothold of me. Well, he attempted but I take pride in my Lord to announce that my Lord is my victorious armour. The devil did not even managed to touch a strand of hair on me.

Confidence Lies in my Lord.. Try as u might Mr Satan.. U will FOREVER be Under my FEET!

The Little Greedy Pig

Deborah spoke about dots and stars the other day..

Dots represent our imperfections..
Stars represent what we r good at..

Dots vs Stars...

I have a friend who gives me dots all the time..
When I do well.. there r no stars..
But once I make a mistake, I get a handfull of dots..

Those dots u gave me r almost right all the time..
n I do make improvements from them..
But after that u will tell me that there r more dots here n there that I need to change..
N still no stars..

The Lord brought u to correct me in my ways..
N I recognise that because u have always been able to point out what is unseen to others..

But the Lord brought other people to give me stars..

Someday, if I get a star from you,
I will be very happy..
Because its rare..
So rare..
I never got a star from you before..

Its not the approval I wan..
Its the appreciation I need..

For you to see me as how the Lord sees me..

For those who have been praying for me, thank you so much. I have almost fully recovered now. God spoke to me today when I stepped into CRC. It was him who gave me the courage to face my problems head on. It was Him who gave me all the comfort and solace I so badly needed. It was Him who lifted me out of the pit once again. It was Him who forgave me of all my mistakes.

How many times have I broken your heart? Still you forgive...
How many times have you heard me pray? Draw near to me...

Everything I need is you from beginning till forever…

My Princess….

I Will Set You Free

I, your King, stand outside the door of your heart and knock. I see you locked up in your private place of pain, but I won’t force my way in. I will continue to wait patiently outside until you are ready to let me come in. I long to hold you in my arms, wipe away your tears, and tenderly encourage you with My love and truth. I will continue to knock even when you turn a deaf ear. I won’t stop calling to you from outside the door of your prison of pain. You do not have to answer, but I won’t give up because I love you. I know your heart’s cry is for the wholeness and healing that only I can bring. It’s not too late, my princess. Today you can unlock the door in the darkened room of your heart and let Me come in. Like warm light and a gentle breeze, I will refresh and nourish your soul.

Love,
Your King and Your Key to Freedom

Revelations 3:20
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.”

Now I dun really have the time to blog but I still wan to blog. For those who do not know, I had recurring dreams from Friday till Sunday last week. I couldn’t sleep properly most of these 3 nights. I was spiritually attacked by Satan. The few nights satan planted negative thoughts in my head when I was asleep n I woke up in cold sweat most of the nights. I would suddenly open my eyes as early as 430am in the morning n I couldn’t think at all. For a moment I froze. I had several self doubts. I was depressed. I was afraid. I couldn’t focus when I was awake. I was paranoid over many things. The only thing I could focus on the last few days was when I was preparing for bible study and my devotion times and when I was praying. Those several hours were the best hours the past few days. That was when I shut myself out of this world n I listen only for the voice of God. Those hrs were the best. My heart longs for more time with God.

I confided in a few sisters about the matter and I know they prayed for me. Ivy and Mel came last night. I am so glad they came because I wanted to tell them what happened. Thank you for coming to pass me bible study material for this Friday as well as to pray with me. I really appreciate it.

I have never really had horrifying dreams that paralyse me before. Perhaps except one. There was once in 2nd semester last year. One of the mornings when I woke up, I could feel the devil sitting on me in my own room. Initially, I was so scared. I hide under my blanket. Can u imagine me hiding under my blanket? I was afraid to see satan face to face. But that was only for 5 mins then after that I thought to myself. Pris, why are u hiding? U should get up and pray. So I did. I got up n prayed in the name of Jesus n I cast the demon out of my room. I did it. I wasn’t overpowered by satan. I was empowered by God. I remembered him. I was shaken initially but that was only 5 mins. I knew I had to do something. I cannot remain in bed. I had to put up a fight with the devil. I had to claim God’s promises.

For those who are concerned, I felt very much better last night after much prayer n quiet time with God. I regained my confidence. I got everything intact again. I wouldn’t say I am perfectly ok now. But in comparison to the last few days, I am definitely stronger than before. I believe that spiritual attacks come when God is about to do something great in my life. It’s a huge threat to the devil. It’s the time of testing. Pris, r u ready for the challenge?

Next time if I am attacked by the devil again. I will stand up, put my feet to the ground and scold the devil. Yes, I will do that.

Thanks Ivy for ur prayers just now. My heart is warm with ur love.
Thanks Mel for cleansing my room in the name of Christ.
Thanks Yoshi. I love u.
Indeed its restored. Indeed it is cleansed in the blood of Jesus.

Where would I be without the cross?
Where would I be without your blood shed for me?

It finally coming to the end of this week soon n I have completed all my assignments for the week, just left with some reading materials to read.. then it will be all done.. Currently I am reading " The Confident Woman" by Joyce Meyer. Its a good book, will blog abt it when I am done reading..

I had a good week.. not too bad.. just had my physio prac today.. I had a cool group, all aussies except me, but they are all friendly n intelligent so discussion went along smoothly.. Thank God for that! Initially I was worried that I will get a crappy group cos if I really do then I will really be in big trouble cos the project is worth 30%... so I m glad it all turned out fine.. My physio tutor was excellent too, she gives very clear explainations which was pretty easy to follow. At least not another tute which was like sitting in a pressure cooker.. argh, I cant take that..

Yesterday's dinner was one of my best meals in adelaide. We went to this Vietnamese restaurant near Port Adelaide. It was pretty far but was alright cos we drove. It was Sean's birthday, so a group of us went out for dinner.. the food was so so so nice man... The appetiser was a seafood salad, gosh it was the best I have eaten. Then followed by Quail, and cold roll... I enjoyed cold roll the most cos it was interactive n fun.. then finally was our chocolate cheesecake.. Its one of the most satisfying dinners..

I miss fifi, nunu n yiyi... miss u guys loads.. when I saw u guys on tuesday, I felt more than happiness.. really..

yiyi, see u on sunday.. want to catch up with u soon.. hugz..

I had my first tute yesterday, my biomed tute.. It was the most stressful tute I have ever been to.. it feels like sitting on a hotpot and steaming in a pressure cooker.. N I am serious... so stressful.. as usual we had tutes in pbl style.. for those who dunno.. pbl stands for problem based learning.. just some fancy word thats being used at uni.. but anyway.. let me tell u what on earth happened..

Start of the tute.. obviously the tutor took our attendance.. but this tutor was very interesting cos each of my tutes are accessed on a weekly basis so therefore he needs to grade us each week.. so if I dun find anything constructive to say obviously he is going to mark me down.. so the tutor drew on a blank piece of paper our seating arrangement blah blah blah...

Then the tute started... then this is how he went... So who want to start the discussion? ....... silence for 2 mins.. ..... then he started asking questions.. whenever anyone gave any answer.. he would ask .. erm.. so why is it this n not that? so the whole session was basically why this why that.. u answer this .. u explain that? Thank God I know what to say when he arrowed the question at me.. Gosh! I was relieved at the end of the session...

After that I had a chat with my seniors.. n she went.. oh he is famous for being difficult but his tutes r good.. this I agreed as well..

I have another tute on thursday and friday as well.. its cracking me up.. was trying to fix it yesterday.. my physio tute.. but seriously.. there are only figures and diagrams in my lecture notes.. n my text isnt that good either... I got to fix those case studies somehow... anyway I am not the only one in a fix..

Can u believe that I am listening to audio lectures at home though I went to uni for those lectures? Goodness me.. since when I become so hardworking..

I must fix them tonight..MUST!

The whole week flew past so quick.. I was at Henley beach with OCFers yesterday.. it wasnt very sunny.. in fact it was windy n cooling at max temperature of 28 degrees but then some of us were sunburnt still... but it was fun though.. my sunburnt skin is gonna take a while to heal..... But I suppose it will be fine.. we had team games with water balloons and so on.. captain's ball... it was nice teamwork n at the same time we had loads of fun n gotten to know quite a lot of newcomers which was great! Lunch was pizza by the cooling sea.. one of the few times where we could actually relax and enjoy the sea breeze.. we also buried mossie in the sand.. which was a combined but interesting effort.. hehe... we took pictures.. waiting for samuel to get them uploaded.. imagine urself being buried in the sand.. been fed pizza n cordial actually isnt too bad right.. hehe... Anyway beach day was the highlight of the week.... Ooo.. I almost forgot I met baby Jian Kai for the first time yesterday at Aunty Merrilyn's place.. Eelaine n Raymond's baby boy.. he is sooo cute... tanned little boy.. slightly thin but he will put on weight soon.. We had meeting at Aunty Merrilyn's place as well though all of us are really super tired.. n Aunty Merrilyn had a packed schedule.. it was a good session.. alot of teaching materials n guidance. A well compacted session which is worth every minute of our time.. anyway yesterday was a fantastic day.. i got to go soon.. got to prepare for church till then...
