that's the beauty of being a God chaser. you're chasing the impossible, knowing its possible! (:- tommy tenney([extreme]God Chasers) AMEN! (:
and yeah. chuyi is right.but i am just not worthy of them dont you think? and i dont want to hurt them once again. so the best thing is just to alienate myself around them. i know chuyi i know that i shouldnt but it hurts.the pressure, the force.how much area do i have( force = pressure/area)
i am trying my best though to not alienate myself and i thank chuyi for giving me the assurance that she will stand by me. i have made it a point to try (: and i believe God will help me. but somethings wouldnt go well.devil's working. i have gotta stand strong in my faith. and i cant believe that i wrote that.

and for once i am going to put and bury all my problems deep down, never take them out and help others overcome their problems!
i just don't know where i am anymore. that feeling is BADBADBAD!i want to be a part of it. yet i want to be apart. the numbness to that never works.i just cant trust myself anymore. haha. yeah?this two weeks have been weeks of spiritual warfare. as much as i want to see IGNYTE grow, to see myself grow, i don't want to go through anymore.i just don't think i am ready. but? when will i be?and my mind is in a turmoil.
The BladeI've been walking around with a pain in my backNever seen it coming, only felt the attackInto the left side, out through the heartOur friendship mutilated, you cut it apartI've heard all the lies, they could never be trueNow I can't believe I once trusted youI've been walking around with a pain in my backthe blade that's inside me? It'll slice your neck
yeah. i feel so guilty reading this but at the same time i want someone to feel guilty. i just want those nasty feelings to go away, i want the calming presence of God to come.i just DON'T WANT TO feel alone.i know i am not. but i feel like i am. GAH! i am so confused! :) ytd was so fun! FUEL especially.weeee (:
yeah. haha. it was funny praying for a guy to get over the lost of his not-so-dead brother.yeah! haha. i wonder if God will answer fake prayers. i feel helpless. i cant study, i cant serve, i cant play sports and neither can i have the passion of God so strong. i think it got too high during camp and all of a sudden it just dropped.
fears so many of them. recommit, re surrender, a never ending process.
Our Greatest Fear
(a quote from Marianne Williamson
Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some, it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

yeah. its been a long while since i blogged
XD.
heh. this week has been sorta good yeah?
cept for Friday afternoon and Thursday night :(
an overview of this whole week.
MONDAYhad
napha on Monday.
heh. knee wasn't recovered yet :( but yeah. didn't want to delay
napha anymore so i decided to just do it with an injured knee.got 29cm for sit and reach!
heh. i failed :(
yeah. did standing broad jump got 174cm.
bahbahbah. incline pull ups were real bad.
MY STUPID DUPID KNEE! amazingly my knee decided to bend and i could do nothing to keep it straight. its an injured knee. so yeah. got a C and decided not to do it anymore. went home after school took a shower, did homework,
computered, ate dinner and then sat down to watch TV. then when i stood up, there was this horrible CRACK sound. and then i couldn't move my knee, it was so so painful.
heh. turns out according to my dad's diagnosis that i tore/sprained my ligament. bah :(
TUESDAY(MC)MC! (: yeah! but the stupid
dupid knee really hurt
alot.
haha. IT WAS
SWOLLEN! (: so
ccoooooll ! could hardly walk and the com crashed so i just sat
in front of the TV for the whole day. went to the doctor's and was granted a 2days MC (
Tuesday and
Wednesday)went home watched
some more TV and went to sleep.
WEDNESDAY(MC)watched
TV (: my knee could walk better! (:
YAY! and then the careless
Ruth was walking to take something from the table and her knee cracked again :( BAH! BAD STUPID RUTH! turns out that i
couldn't walk anymore and it was impossible for me to go to school the next day.
THURSDAY(MC)watched
TV (: went to the doctor's again to prolong my MC! got another two days MC (
Thursday and
Friday)watched
some more TV.
FRIDAY(MC)watched

some more TV. cracked my knee! GOSH! so careless. :( and yeah.
shi ying says that she will lend me her crutches on
Monday. nice
shi ying (: yeah!
hiazx. the injury is already
reoccurring itself before it even gets healed. :(

GAH! and i just realise that
Christmas is 5 months away. time to save money!
things aren't going well as planned.
Monday, July 23, 2007
yesterday was the most
impactful service for me this year! (: not because
PGC preached(he preached good though (:) but because i could really feel God! well the whole service was fun! especially serving with Ruth and Abby (:
haha. CH smile, CH codeword. bah!
GAH! :)
so Ruth, Ruth and Abby were serving as bulletin-
ers and greeters (:
heh. so fun! yeah. we missed praise and i wanted to miss worship. i just couldn't face God yeah?
so during worship sat with
chuyi and
valerina.
hiazx. i think
chuyi is still angry with me cause i said that to
rachel. but yeah. i didn't mean to hurt her feelings.
God was speaking to me during worship.. i couldn't sing, i couldn't lift up my hands.so i just stood there responding to God. he said this:
" Ruth. i know that you love me. you love my people. in times of need and trouble, you're there. you put aside your troubles for them. you sacrifice for them. and it hurts when you cant be there with them because you love them. surrender them. i love them too. and i will help you love them even more.....i don't want you to carry their burdens for them but give them to me. i want you. to carry my fire. to carry it to your school. your class and people around you...."i know we shouldn't cry. it isn't wrong but crying leads to self pity which is bad :( when God told me that i cried because i love God. and i was determined to do what God has told me to. it was so GOOD! (: to know that God knew what i was going through ! (:
yeah. sermon came. and i
didn't expect God to speak to me because the sermon was on the power of the
holy spirit, not surrendering or anything to deal with
wat i was going through. but God works in his small and miraculous ways! (: i just took out my bible
didn't want to write sermon notes. so i just concentrated on
PGC's preaching. and the first verse he spoke
strucked me.
John 14:15-17 (New International Version)
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15"If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you.yeah. the link. and then, every sentence he spoke struck me. every sentence there was
something that i was going through. something that i was guilty of.but this one struck me the most : " if you do not want to grieve the holy spirit, the only thing you can do is
surrender. there's no other way."
everything started falling into place from then on.i knew then why i had tried to surrender so many times but i failed. it was because my heart
wasn't ready. there i
decided to surrender and to start everything as a new day(:. with God by my side:). bro
Andy prayed for me. he told me that God was telling me to carry his fire. to my school to my class......YEAH! (:
Sunday, July 22, 2007
heh. and now i know why my roller skates, basketball and bicycle are so so important to me.
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
i find it ironic, when people tell you to do something they don't.
heh. i am in school now doing my
IH homework. its BORING!
no born again radio, food,
handphone and almost everything i guess.
but i have
air con, a slow computer(not being sarcastic),no teachers, PEACE! (:
by the way, go here [strongly encouraged! (:]

Tuesday, July 17, 2007
yeah. i know i
shouldn't be blogging now. God seems to be telling me something all this while.
ever since the first week of school. a virtue -
PATIENCE.patience
doesn't mean
waiting a long while for a bus neither does it mean simply waiting. patience has got to deal with your heart. For example, in judging people, we should learn to be patient. it takes a while, effort to get to know a person. and i
don't understand how some people just like to judge a person by its cover. patience means to slowly learn. it takes a while it takes a long while. for you to be patient enough to a friend, a not so nice one, and teach them something that they want to learn. and all this while i think i am lacking in it. yeah? but God will help me, i believe so (:
BE PATIENT
Monday, July 16, 2007

any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple
Luke 14:33"in the same way if any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple."
and thanks chuyi. and no you arent the lousy one. i am.
You dont have to say sorry you know? You deserve to be happy! You are God's daughter! Don't feel sorry for not being a good friend. You have been a terrific friend! You know, last year when Mrs Tan told sixORCHID that secondary school girls hold hands (because they were good friends), i was apalled and i never thought I would be doing the same thing six months later. But i am. I hold your hands whenever we run around church. You're my best friend, my dear twin. Dont back out on me now ok? I need you by my side. You have done nothing wrong. Dont go around apologising to people. It's not your fault (it's not theirs either). You know how it breaks my heart to see you so sad?
dont leave me ok?
i love you<3
chuyi.
Sunday, July 8, 2007
leaders,potential leaders, they need to grow in the Lord. surrender everything to God. family, friends. never mean more than God. throw them away to God. nothing you do for God will ever go without a sacrifice. nothing. friends are the people who stick you up,who stay by your side. i love then. i miss them. i feel that i am not there for them anymore. i feel so vulnerable. so so stupid. so naive. why why why? why.
yesterday i was there at the altars preparing to give everything back to God again. i couldnt. i couldnt. there God spoke to me. he said
" Ruth. give everything to me.even your friends,surrender and i will be there"
i cried big time. in chuyi's hands. i looked at her, i cried more. than i just left. i left the altars. i didnt turn back. i didnt surrender.....
quoted from chuyi's blog:
Ruth was crying, big time. Looking at her,
my sister, crying, I started crying myself. I was begging God to take away the pain from Ruth, begging God to bring me away from my horrible horrible situation. And i just continue hugging ruth. Just hugging her real tight. Her whole body was shaking and i just cried along with her.
and i dont think i deserve such a nice friend like her. God thanks. i know i am not surrendering. but i thank you for everything. i'm sorry.
chuyi i am sorry. val i am sorry. janet i am sorry. alison i am sorry. brenda i am sorry.michelle i am sorry.corine i am sorry. rebecca i am sorry. bro zhihao i am sorry. sis kimberly i am sorry. sis christine i am sorry. pastor gary i am sorry.pastor prisc i am sorry.bro marcus i am sorry.gid i am sorry.ben i am sorry.julian i am sorry.joshua i am sorry.ariel i am sorry.kirin i am sorry.shiying i am sorry.sonia i am sorry.eleanor i am sorry.laura i am sorry.jie rach i am sorry.sis cherie i am sorry.
i know this sounds super emo. i need to pull myself up soon. NOW. i just cant. but i will. one day.
YEAH.
just as i thought everything was going to be okay, it turns out it isn't. every time i look into the past i see it again. and i come to the realization of how bad i was last year.
but God changed me. I am a changed person (:
somehow people just don't believe that i am.
badbadbad.
and i wish they did.
now i fell like i let everyone down. i let God down, my leaders down, my pastors down,my family and my friends down.i know that it isn't that right for me to cry at the altars. i should be the one helping my friends, praying with them but yesterday i couldn't. i just broke.i know though that this is a period of my life that God will guide me through.
a test and a trail. and just like pastor
Gary says :
" thank God for the bad things that happen"i will. but i really really hate tests.
bleah!
GAH!
haha (: but God will guide me so what do i have to fear yeah?
Joshua 1:9be strong and courageous do not be afraid for the lord is with you wherever you go! YEAH! (: feel so much happier now.
heh.
YEAH. today is GREEN DAY
dont you find my school very eco-friendly?GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN everywhere.

Friday, July 6, 2007

TGIF i really really thank God. how he has pulled and strectched me these two weeks,sleeping at 12 and waking up at 5,not forgetting the many rehearsals along the way for

SYF opening.and the overgrowing mountain of work, way more than last term
:(thanks to God though, i coped so much better than i thought i could when i trusted him.
it really works trusting in God!
and during these few weeeks i've seen myself grow in God. i love the feeling!
(:all the
sacrifices i made to see myself grow heh. and to help and see others grow too!
(:seeing myself changing my flaws and working on them!
heh.was readinmg poems again and i saw this
Sacrifice
A sacrifice you make today Will never ever be goneA sacrifice you make today Will soon be passed onA sacrifice you make today Will stay in many heartsA sacrifice you make today Help many play their partsA sacrifice you make today Will never be forgottenA sacrifice you make today Will never be mistakenA sacrifice you make today May even change historyA sacrifice you make today May be kept in someone’s memoryA sacrifice you make today Might light someone’s day upA sacrifice you make today Might fill someone’s dry cupA sacrifice you make today Will always be treasuredA sacrifice you make today Will always be remembered Anders Zookiedont you see the link? i find the poem a good one! thanks anders!
(: heh. its so funny when i blog about something i somehow manage to find a poem to go along with it! yeah.
and then all of a sudden i am randomly reminded of this song
"Billy Bob went home after school on a bright sunny day
when his mum said go clean your room before you go play.and he showed REESPOONNSIBILIBILITY chub chubREESPOONNSIBILIBILITY chub chubREESPOONNSIBILIBILITY chub chubRESPONSIBILITY." jie, you remember it?amazing how i remembered it cause the i learnt it when i was 6 or younger. yeah. hehe.
