Genesis 22 (NLT)

Abraham’s Faith Tested

1 Some time later, God tested Abraham’s faith. “Abraham!” God called.
“Yes,” he replied. “Here I am.”

2 “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”

3 The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, along with his son, Isaac. Then he chopped wood for a fire for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had told him about.

How did it feel
when Abraham was told to sacrifice his one and only God-given gift?

How did it feel
the night before they went up the mountains?

How did it feel
when Abraham was saddling the donkey?

How did if feel
when Abraham was gathering the chopped wood for fire?

How does it feel
to crucify your feelings, thoughts, flesh
to obey God’s will?

Matthew 26:38-40 (NLT)

38 He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

39 He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

40 Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour?

How did it feel
when Jesus had to grow up, gradually finding out who He is?

How did it feel
for Jesus to live with his own people who didnt believe in Him?

How did it feel
to do good for the people who didnt appreciate a single bit?

How did it feel
to make a prayer which you know the answer to?

How did it feel
to really taste death?

How do real sacrifices feel?
How does ‘no longer I’ really feel?

Helper = (GK) Parakletos
“a person just like Me”

What is a helper to a leader?

A helper, just like the leader.

Just like = DNA
“the DNA of City Harvest”

How does it feel?

Its fun to be crazy over an affair with the people you enjoy being with.
Extra credits to the similar color tones we were wearing coincidentally!

Look at how filled the melting pot is with popcorn!!

Power in Unity!

PS: Quote from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince,
every entry requires a payment.
How true, like redemption.

What is a rhema word for?

or specifically,

What do you do with the words that someone prayed over(for) you?

Many times we think it was spoken for the moment you were in
or the circumstance or situation that you are in

but then again,
it doesnt seem like it hit bull’s eye.

2 yrs back when I was in SOT,
we had to practise Word of Knowledge on each other.

Someone prayed that
I would be who I am
And I wouldnt have to try to be someone else
Because God made me the way I am
And people will love me the way I am
not who I would want to be.

I thought that was logos,
you know what I mean?
Cause it seems like everyone needs affirmation.

But the one important thing I did
was to write it down in my memory bank.

And 2 yrs later,
I feel like that word is really a Word of Knowledge
to me, personally.

Because 2 yrs later,
I need it.

God is the smartest ever.

What is value to you?

Is value what you put on someone?
Or is the person THE value?

It has come a little late,
but at least it did.

And friendship like I said in my previous post
robs time and effort and even sacrifices sometimes
but we benefit wayy more than we lose.

So we ended work a little late,
then we made all kinds of irrelevant and random jokes about stuff no one needs to know
and if you have seen or heard me laugh (hint: volume),
yea,
I laughed like what you can hear in your minds now
from Millenia Tower to Millenia Walk to Marina Square to Citylink and all the way to Raffles City.

Did chocolates/candy shopping at Marketplace,

then we spent some time at J.Co. (:

Is it tiring?
YES.
If you make yourself think that you are gona be tired tomorrow.

But,

NAH.
Cause they are worth it.

VALUE.

Thank you girls,
for taking time and the effort
for our meet up!

It was great,
catching up and sharing about our dreams and ambitions.
And talking about issues that
really tug at our hearts and thoughts.
And we really enjoyed the music too!

Friendship really takes a lot of ourselves to keep and nurture.
But they are God given.
So whatever that God put into our hands,
we got to treasure
cause not only are they gifts from God
they are God’s.

So that which is precious to Abba,
is precious to us also.

Our department did a donation for Little Charmaine,
remember the 4yr old girl who has cancer and is need of donations for her operation?

The money donated was used to buy cushions!

And we received our pleasant comfies today

Guess what are these?

Or these?

I chose Lazy Daisy!

And this is Bishan with Lazy Daisy (:

This is Caleb Lai, who sits behind me,
and is rushing to finish his pouches so that he can join the other guys in lan gaming after work.
We call him Cable Lai sometimes,
but most of the time, we call him
Birdbird,
affectionate name for Calebebeb.
HAHA.

And this is mosaic Calvin,
who doesnt like to be captured in photos,
helping Bishan stuff her cushion.

Calvin trying to mosaic Bishan with her Little Piglet (literally) cushie.

So happy with her cushie!

Fighting, as always.

Bishan messed up his hair cause she couldnt get it back from him.

If you are still guessing what the 2 photos were,
its my cushion beside Calvin’s tshirt.

I was reminded again today
of how people

reach

in different ways
at different speeds

no matter what their personalities
no matter what their talents and abilities

but
they will reach

and in the end

answer to their bosses

if they reach their purpose
then good

but if they dont
they got to find an answer to why.

The only way up
is the way down

and many answers are found
down

on our knees

twice
in 2 weeks

Yes, Abba

I got it.

I did my favourite today,

NAIL PAMPERING!

In Cookie’s words, “You did MANYcure today!”

Cuticle repair,

Massage and Moisturize,

Whitening,

Blue legs!

Waiting..

No more photos cause the manicurist did my fingernails while waiting for my toes. (:

Had desserts with han, waikit and cong yao after fellowship yesterday.
Cong yao’s R(A) stories made han and I laugh hysterically!
Even waikit had to tell him to stop cause it was embarrasing

This is the Han I used to know,
and now she is back!!

“God made me fast and when I run, I feel God’s pleasure.”

Whats yours?

Whats mine?

Michael Jackson had a talent.

Whats mine?

What did God made me to be?
What did God put in me?
What did God envision me to be?
What did God see in me?

God made me ______ and when I ______, I feel God’s pleasure.

I dont believe the choices I made were mistakes.

But

The character of a vision is to tarry.

Seedtime and harvest.

It will come.

Because God didnt and wouldnt forget about me.

Visions dont die because they just do
They die cause you die
