was quite a bumpy ride during the past 2 days..shall not elaborate so much right now but i know i have to grip on strong hold to the Lord even if i face obstacles in learning how to be a marketplace minister...indeed, i'm learning how to have the faith to overcome, believing that it is the one God who will deliver in the end

i'm loved by the King..

Time spent ragging was something which I've never imagined it to be. It is almost like madness spending that amount of time awake doing RAG. But the interesting thing is I've never once felt that it is a waste of time and in fact I'm enjoying the time spent there. Maybe its because I've taken ownership of this project and it has become very much integrated in me now. My responsibilities in the role I play has changed significantly through these weeks. One of the reason why I've committed so much into it is because I want to see this project succeed, which i believe is the dream of the whole team.


There are many things God has been teaching me through my commitments in RAG. Being a marketplace minister is one i've mentioned previously. I've learned and exercised the need for a strong hold onto God when I'm being placed in the marketplace. It simply means I'm thrown into this "unprotected" environment where I'm faced with many worldly challenges and dealing with many people with many working styles. Its easy to get lost or lose focus, thus the need for this strong grip onto God as my reference point. It is not easy and I think sometimes I felt that i could have done in all aspects but the Lord has helped to remind me this weekend regarding this and I would not want to disappoint Him in the coming weeks as I work towards doing my best for Him.

3 weeks before RAG day itself. Critical period where we'll going into the final phase. This will be the time i believe I'll be tested much. Praying that I can overcome and will trust in God in all aspects...

Just came back from tribe camp...This week has also been significant because in the midst of my busy commitments, the Lord has revealed His presence on many occasions through the week. There were some answered prayers, though simple, but have nevertheless showed how real He is in my life and has encouraged me much in my faith in Him. With that, I went for the tribe camp with an expectant heart to be refreshed in Him.

I'm glad I've made the right choice to squeeze the time for this camp for the Lord didn't disappoint me. It was an opportunity not only for me to take a break from RAG but also to pause and reflect on my commitments and ensure I'm walking the path right with God as my reference point. I'm glad He renewed me and re-energised through this camp. Instead of feeling tired from back-to-back schedules, I've felt my strength and energy restored. I guess this is primarily because i know my purpose in each commitment. I'm currently enjoying each and every process which is happening in my life and I'm excited abt how i can be used by Him in every aspect of my life..

Btw, I'm just beginning to attend another round of guitar lessons which had its first lesson during the past week. It was a decision made a while back to re-ignite this love in playing guitar and to continue in improving in skills during this yr of Sabbath. Indeed during the first lesson last tue, I was very refreshed as i enjoy the worship I had through guitar-playing. It was an aspect which i felt complement my worship in dance...

Looking forward to another exciting week ahead!

the past few days are quite mad..its lk rag all the days..from early morning to late at night..that includes rag and flag camp for the past 2 days...guess it is what they call the real rag experience...but i'm enjoying the experience right now..everyone chipping in to make this dream come true..its not the dream of one rag director or one rag team but the dream of one science fac waiting to be realized...

and one thing i really learn through this period is how to be a marketplace minister...although there've been prayer walking through the sem, it is only now that as i interact with the pple themselves, be in the midst of them that i truly begin to learn how to be the minister for my own marketplace...its not yet very evident but its a learning process which i'm going through...

may i always be available for Him and be used wherever i go..
