Blessings~

I have decided a week ago, to at least bless someone everyday and record it down. It feels good blessing people and putting a smile on people's face... So here are the blessings for one whole week that I have recorded:

Wednesday, 17th March:

1. Helped Joe to buy printer ink catridge

Thursday, 18th March

1. Refilled Eileen and Robyn's water bottle

2. Helped Robyn and Celine to buy stuff from Coles

3. Pray for Ah Yek for her tough life in Herston

Saturday, 20th March:

1. Cooked Hainanese Chicken rice for house warming

Sunday, 21st March:

1. Pray for Ern Tze's sis as a cyclone hits her place in Mackay

Monday, 22nd March:

1. Cooked dinner for David Lue

Wednesday, 24th March:

1. Cooked lunch for Joe

2. Walked Robyn home

God have shown me His love unto me the past 3 weeks, and from this I really want other people to feel this love too. Here are 3 very interesting situations God has blessed me in,

1. Needed a group mate for my prac, suffered doing all the group prac work and out of nowhere a guy asked me to join his group, and his name is Jared Curtis... =D

2. Carried food to church after a long and tiring day, complaining all the church works and activities that I have to do and attend, out of nowhere Luke from Ipswich stopped by with his car and helped me carry my food. =D

3. I needed 2 logbooks for my courses, to record down results and hand calculation. Searching high and low, far and wide, =P looked in shops for 3 weeks for the standard log book bt no luck, all the shops have got no stock. Out of nowhere, Faculty of Engineering staff asked me whether I wanted a log book today, Praise The Lord!!!!

How wonderful is my God! I know You are always there for me.

Thank You Jesus. *Hugs*

Be Holy-

We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
O Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes from evil things
O Lord we cast down our idols

Give us clean hands
Give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another

God let us be
A generation that seeks
Seeks your face O God of Jacob

O Lord help me to be pure and clean, as I seek You more everyday and wanting to be you true disciple. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Hope Church Brisbane 16th Anniversary!

Jared~~

Finally last Saturday came our church anniversary... It was really a long waited one as it was my 1st attending it and also performing in it! This year the venue was smaller than the previous year, which was in Garden City Church where Hillsongs have their service.. This time around we had it in Canonhill Anglican Church, large theatre, small stage ><

I arrived noon to have rehearsals with the dance team.. And I can tell you it was so tiring having to rehearse again and again... But I just love to perform and the excitement just kept me going all the way.... Before the performance, the girls we putting on their make up and we guys couldnt run away but just had to put on make up as well..... T.T 1st time having eye liner and a lil blush on my face and I totally look like a clown.... ><

Our opening performance was by our Worship Arts and Media (WAM) dance team and I can tell you i enjoyed performing here... The amount of people were there cheering and giving you support, tremendous feeling... all glory to God! Funny thing I did a jump split and i tore my pants in the middle... One big hole.... O.o Spot the split!

After that, every service had an opportunity to present something to represent each services.. The performances were chosen based on the best previous events that happened earlier this year. We, afternoon service did a dance in the multicultural fiesta! and it was such a big hit they asked us to perform again... This time round one of our dancers went back to Hong Kong, so we asked Becky to replace her and she's just amazing... And! this time the performance went really well, I can really tell people enjoyed our performance.. Im so proud of myself and Joe for we did the choreo, and proud that my music edits made it right up there! Its just amazing how God led His hands and use us to glorify Him... Amen!

I just cant wait to perform again! and next is the Hope Brisbane Got Talent, we auditioned last Sunday, me and Joe... Basically we did quirky stuff, juggling, ballet, nobody but you and they loved it! We are going to perform in the Afternoon Service Appreciation Dinner and Im so extremely excited... =) Definitely more to come... Cheers!

WAM dance team

Dance like you never danced before

It's the sandstorm! ahhh! 1st time in Brisbane but its nt as awful as the one in Sydney.. I went out early in the morning to UQ and i thought it was gna rain since it was so windy, then during my lab session i saw outside the window.. Orange! Yellow! OMGOSH! Bt I wasnt that kan cheong, calmly walk out the lab and look outside.. i was like wow sandstorm... mmmkayyy.... fascinating...

But it really wasnt as bad as in sydney... go check google and its crazy orange!

Anyway I really have been dancing a lot.. I mean A LOT! Theres the Hope Brisbane Church Anniversary Service and I'm gonna perform one anniversary dance with the team. And yesterday I found out that the Multiculfural Fiesta Dance we performed about a month ago was really a big hit, so they decided to slot in the same performance again... I was like woooowwww! Amazing Im so excited! Cant wait to give my all.. All glory to God for giving me this opportunity to serve Him in the dance ministry... I always wanted to dance, especially in camps where you have to choose workshops, I always wanted to join but ended up joining music or choir and bla bla.... Looking at staring at the dancers I was thinking, man I could do as good as them, why didnt I go for it...

Joe and his awkward freeze...

Im thankful that Im given a chance now, to shine, to be the light and the salt... And theres definitely more to come...

=)

Happy Birthday Audrey!

Jared~~

Hours of waiting and preparing its finally here... its your birthday and i really hope you will enjoy the rest of your day after your paper... ^^

Let me tell u the great plan that was supposed to be carried out, I was going to buy a Creative Zen mp3 player which is so awesome as it records good sound quality... I tried it and I loved it so much. So after buying it ill record a song onto it and send back to malaysia, which I will ask someone to pass it to you, most probably elucia and there will be a letter as well for her to read then play the Zen.

So that did not happen due to many unforseen reasons.. hahah.. So here it is, a vid for you which Im quite satiesfied with it... Hope u like it.... ^^

Happy birthday once again... =)

Band of Brothers and Simply Women Dance Performance

Jared~~

Hey yea! It's been awhile since I last posted something... Ive been quite busy these few weeks, winter is now over, mid semesters are coming soon, involvement in church are just a blessing to me....

Dance! Thats what I have been doing a lot, previously I danced together with my group in the Multicultural Fiesta and the video is posted on the Project Passion Blog, check it out the link is in our sidebar under blogs I follow...

So the most recent event was the Band of Brothers and Simply Women organised by Campus Christian Movement and also Hope Brisbane Church. It was really good and we brothers enjoyed each other's company as we work together hiking up Mount Cootha. Well the girls had different events such as making up, self defence and also dance.

Well on Sunday, committees asked us to put up a performance for this event, and in 2 weeks we actually choreographed the moves and practiced it.. Its really awesome to see how God's hands move as we only had very little time and we manage to put up a good show.. here's the vid...

And theres more still to come! Im currently working thru my way into worship team here.... which is hard considering how big the church is... ^^ bye off to study...

happy birthday WENE JUNE!

Jared~~

What Is a Birthday?

It's knowing you're
“somebody special” today
And waiting to see
what the hours bring your way,
Forgetting the things
that you don't like to do
And doing the things
that seem pleasant to you…
It's enjoying those
marvellous little surprises
That come from all over,
in all shapes and sizes -
a phone call or letter
that brings you delight,
warm wishes and greetings
from morning till night -
It's making a wish
as you blow candles out
And having so much
to be happy about
That you can't help but dream,
as the hours slip away,
Of many more happy
returns of the day.

Hapyy Birthday!

Wene June play again the video i posted in this blog about Jonathan's birthday.... and listen and at the same time read the poem above... enjoy the song again and happy birthday to u my friend... All the blessings unto you as you are set to be a man of God and shine His light wherever you go.... ^^

ExtraOrdinary Power of the Lord on Special people in a Small Church on a Mountain

~audrey~

Today. What an incredible, awesome day it has been. The Lord is Great. My Lord, my God is great! I want to share this with all of you and whoever else that reads this to remind what an awesome God we have. There is none other like Him. To encourage you in your walk with the Lord. Here's what happened to a very special lady in our small little church of All Soul's.

Aunty Sandra is an elderly lady that attends our church. She has gone through a whole lot in her life. Many negative things. So many sickness and cancers and hardship. She had a rough childhood. But at the age of three, she heard bells ringing and saw it coming from a church. She snicked her way into the pews at the back of the church and was mesmerized by the organs and the settings of the church. By the tender age of eight, she gave her life to the Lord. She surrendered all she had to the Lord. And since then the Lord has been with her every step of the way. The Lord has appeared to her many times, revived her from near death experiences, so many she has had. What a blessed woman she is. For someone who has suffered so much, she put all her faith and gave all her love to the Lord. In return, she is truly blessed by our God. She has sooo many stories and testimonies to share. And the Lord continues to bless her life

Her testimony she gave this Sunday morning:

"22nd of June, it was night time, John my husband and I were asleep as usual. Suddenly i heard a voice calling 'Sandra, Sandra'. I woke up half asleep. 'Sandra, Sandra'. I opened my eyes, sat up on my elbows, and there was a blue glow together with a a golden glow. And there He was, my Beloved Jesus. His face full of love. A look of love that no human can posses or show. His eyes so sharp yet full of compassion. His hair long and brown. His skin, dark. So lovely.

The Lord reached out His hand and touched my head. He said 'I bless you my child'. And just like that He was gone. I woke John up telling him what just happened. I felt my head burning, a hot sensation. John switched on the lights and looked at me and told me, 'Sandra! There's a cross on your head!'. Surely enough, on my head, a cross. Thank You Lord. Thank You."

She ripped the plaster she had on head, and there, in front of the whole congregation, she stood with a cross on her head. My jaw fell to the ground! I was amazed and shocked! Never in my life had I seen anything like this. Straight after her testimony, I had to lead in praise and worship. My hands were sweaty and shaking as I stood on front of the church. I was soo..amazed and in awe of My miraculous Lord. I got a good clear look of Aunty Sandra as she was seated right in front of me. And that just made me want to burst out in worship for God.

The Lord stamped His name, His "logo" onto Aunty Sandra. She is His. He branded her His child forever and ever and ever. It kinda looks like you know when cowboys brand their cattle with hot metal. It's incredible!

In such a small community, and such a small church, it's easy to feel discouraged. Feeling uninspired, like you're not getting spiritual input. Sometimes we feel like the Lord is not with us. Like He has forgotten us. Today, He assured us that He is right here with us. I feel big things are gonna happen in the small community of Cameron Highlands. There are already happening. We needed encouragement from the Lord and He gave it to us. Oh how He did!

May i ask if you could keep our church, All Souls' Church and the Cameron Higlands in your prayers today. Thank You!!

I serve a truly amazing, compassionate, incredible, miraculous God! Keep praising Him today and always. He deserves it wholly and fully. WOOT!!
God Bless you all! =D

Jon's birthday! 10th of June

Jared~~

Heres another update, it was our friend Jonathan's birthday and I can say it was amazing... One of the best suprises i experienced in my life... Jonathan was one of the seniors in the group so an extra special birthday suprise was planned.. I came out with a song the day before the birthday instead singing an old traditional birthday song, looked up the internet for a very suitable poem and then asked Matthew to present it. Before his surprise we gathered at eileen's house to practise the song and discuss how was the surprise gna go.. cakes baked, songs rehearsed and all ready to go! let the following video serenade you, it almost made me cry watching it again.... enjoy.....

CHORALE FANTASY by Ludvig van Beethoven

With grace, charm and sweet sounds,

The harmonies of our life,

And the sense of beauty engenders,

The flowers which eternally bloom.

Peace and joy advancing in perfect accord,

Like the alternating play of the waves;

All harsh and hostile element

Render to a sublime sentiment.

When the magic sounds reign,
And the sacred word is spoken,
That strongly engender the wonderful,
The night and the tempest divert light,
Calm without, profound joy within,
Awaiting the great hour.
Meanwhile, the spring sun and art
Bathe in the light.

Something great, into the heart
Blooms anew when in all its beauty,
Which spirit taken flight,
And all a choir of spirits resounds in response.
Accept then, oh you beautiful spirits
Joyously of the gifts of art.
When love and strength are united,
The favour of God rewards Man.

~audrey~
something that made me rethink..


I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up.


I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.


I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.


I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings;
Happiness is up to you.


I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from
worldly cares and brings you closer to me.



I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.


I asked God for all things
that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life,
so that you may enjoy all things.


I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said... Ahhhh,
finally you have the idea.

Examssss

Jared~~

Exams started today bt i dun have any... mine is on wednesday and i have been basically studying in uni alot for the pass week... so i hope i can really do well bt its gna take alot of hardwork... engineering.... *sigh* whoever wants to take engineering please think twice as u will go through a lot of hardwork bt if u really do enjoy it, go for it..... if u like calculations and practical stuffs, go for it.... im just wondering what would happen if i were to do some liberal arts thingy... hmm.. *pondering.... what do u think???

bit pantsssooo~~

Jared~

lamo pants and high socks plus sneakers.... dork in making...

Went to uni early 2day and friend asked me to go gym with him.. bt i didnt bring pants for gym so he brought for me.. ended up wearing freaking big pants... doesnt look big from here bt it was big that when i sit and lift up my legs i can see my ass through the mirror... >< stay fit...

Words fall through me and always fool me....

Jared~~

Ive no idea why i put up that title... Probably listen too much of Falling Slowly... lol... emoing this few days with that song.... I think I might make a cover of it bt doubt can do it good coz of the false voice part... Kris Allen did it really good though singing it one key higher...

Bah I couldnt go online for 2 days and its just so frustrating! So frustrating that i ended up sleeping more than 20 hours for that 2 days..... (while emoing with Falling Slowly).. Was about to go uni at 8 just now bt suddenly the net came back up at 7.30.... So decided not to go and do my work here and emo with the song as well.. HAHA! well gta start doing my work now and nt waste time.... gud luck to everyone having exams hope it wont be a stressful week... my end of sem exams are coming in 3 weeks as well.... cheerszzz...

Take this sinking boat and point it home
we've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
you've made it known

I miss you guys!

Jared~~

Was playing guitar last Tuesday after prayer meeting, when suddenly my friend Keith started singing Feliz Navidad.... Then I started playing and singing together, after that started singing other christmas carols...

I then began to realise, when is Christmas gonna come???? omgosh im so looking forward to Christmas! Im so looking forward to December!!! Arrgghh! Jesus' birthday!!

And I realise one thing, I miss each of everyone of you here alot.... I miss the times that we sleep together in dorm, sing together in choir, watch u guys do dance, and also the band! Its just amazing... Thinking all these things made me smile on that night.. you guys make me feel young again and I will always put all of you in my heart for the rest of my life... Cheers!

Where's Jen?? xp

Just For You

Jared~~

yup yup! finally finish with my own song... i cant write my feelings out here... so sing it out! hehe.... comments would be appreciated....

When I'll ever see you again
Oh when I will do?
I want to see you once again
to proclaim the love that I never knew

Time is not on our side
I know i have to wait
I want to see you once again
to proclaim the love that I never knew

Will you find me in this place
Will I find you in your place
Will ever this love come true

Hug me, Kiss me, Love me tender
These words are meant just for you
We will always walk together
and I will always be here just for you
to listen and to hear your problems too
just for you....

Everytime I think of you
Makes me go hey way yeh!!
My heart now longs for you
It will always be the same
