Really bad day (2/3/15)

Hey guys, 

So I was having a reall bad day and I read this really beautiful verse that was just so reassuring that Daddy God has great plans for me :')) 

 

So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. (Romans 8:31-39 MSG)

Deacon Hee Jhun and Yuki's wedding (11th April 2015)

Hey guys, 

The end of this beautiful wedding also marks the beginning of an exciting and God-filled journey for this lovely couple. Thank you Deacon and Yuki for giving me this opportunity to emcee at your wedding. Tbh when I first realised that I was going to emcee, I was very very shocked because 

1) I have no experience 

2) IT'S A WEDDING 

3) I'm like 17?!?!? 

To think that I, a seventeen year old girl was going to emcee at someone's wedding was indeed unbelievable. It was very surreal and I despised my youth in the beginning because I couldn't believe it. However, as I stood on the same stage where both Deacon And Yuki exchanged their vows and even kissed, I felt incredibly honored and privileged. Indeed, this has been an amazing journey and thank you very very much Deacon and Yuki for changing my life as you have for the past 4 years in Dare. I really am excited to see what God has ahead for the both of you in the upcoming journey! 

Let's be real I was so emotional during the wedding. Like I cried because it was so touching and I was so happy. Like finally after 4 years, I see coach so blessed and happily married, looking into the eyes into his lover, his best friend. It's just so touching mannnn. HAHAHA QUITE FUNNY BECAUSE i was standing by near the sound console, and Jermaine as leading the 'Blessing Song'. Towards the end, she choked because she was on the edge of crying. And then I started crying, and Zephen turned around and he was like "oh you're crying, you're crying!" And I was like noooooooooo I'm not..... HAHA like I guess we were so impacted by the leadership and sowing of time and effort into the ministry that we feel so blessed and happy when our leaders finally find the one that the Lord has prepared for them. 

So so so, I have been reflecting a lot since the wedding ended and I am going to thank a few people who have been so encouraging or people who have been heavily involved in the planning for the wedding. 

Flashmobers 

So this group of people are the ones who have injected aloe of joy during the few practices we have late at night. Although it was a handful of us- Aloy, Deb, Rachel, Shanti, Anna, Zeph, Sebastian, Chloe, and Cheryl (DGL). 

I really enjoyed myself in the past few weeks because ya'll are so cool especially Aloy!!!! We've grown closer and you'll always "where's Jo", "stand here Jo", "Jo I saw that (my mistake". ahahaha Like I feel a sense of belonging because Aloy is like super friendly and nice lah?!?!? 

UOA HELPERS 

So this group of people have been the one working their asses off to prepare for the wedding, in different aspects like programme, event, deco, logs, etc. The wedding wouldn't have ran so smoothly without each and everyone of ya'll.  And here's a girls shot AHAHHA 

Emcee buddy, Zachary

I thanked you on Instagram so I'm just gonna screenshot it LOLOL 

Everyone who encouraged me

To be real honest, the emceeing was like dry humour 99% of the time HAHAHAHAHAHAHABAHHA. Like there was this tinge of awkwardness in the air bleh. But it's like really God's grace that people laugh and stuff so ya. Thank you those who like encouraged me in the Lord cos I was feeling quite lousy. But really, the sense of honor and privilege to 

Emcee at Deacon and Yuki's wedding was like undeserved unmerited FAVOUR. , that it overwhelmed the condemnation I felt. ROMANS 8:1 ALL DAY ERR DAY. 

I constantly reminded myself that it wasn't about my performance because whatever mistakes I make, the Lord will cause Grace to superabound ah. So even though I feel like there were people who like cringed and stuff right, it's okay because the Lord has it covered man. LIKE I CAN FEEL HIM TELLING ME ," Yo Ko I got this covered can you relax" HAHAHA it's okay Jesus qualifies the called right!! So He shall qualify me to emcee for other stuff next time YAS. 

Finally, I wanted to just end off with somethig Evan shared. OH AND THANK YOU EVAN. Like she was in 10 whatsapp groups- that shows how involved she was in preparation for Deacon's wedding. She's so sweet and encouraging man! So yes she told me that this isn't for nothing- like being invoked in the wedding. You are actually sowing into your future, in the sense you are benefiting cos net time you will also get married. And it's so beautiful because all the leaders who were on comms, ensuring that the programme ran smoothly, sure this will be added unto them for their own weddings man!

That's all I got tonight :-) I was supposed to sleep like 1.5 hours ago cos I'm so shagged. 

Indeed it was a beautiful day. All glory to God, the best is yet to be- i.e my emceeing skills 

Shalom,

Photo time!! 

Fear and doubt robs (11/1/15)

Hey guys, 

It's been a while since I blogged (although I have no idea if people actually read my posts hahaah) and it's about time! 

For quite some time, I've been having this fear inside of me, building up as I continued brushing aside the negative thoughts of receiving poor Os results. Hey cmon, the fear is real yea? So yes, as time went by, this fear started to hinder my vision and I started to lose faith in His promise of Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT)

I started to doubt myself, and started looking to the careless mistakes of the papers I took. As I took my eyes off Jesus, the fear escalated. And I found myself afraid. 

Afraid of what? 

Of asking God and trusting Him for good grades. I felt as if I had no right to expect good results, because it would be wishful thinking. The continuos brushing aside of those negative thoughts instead of hearing the word of God to build my faith, led me to look away from Daddy God's unmerited, undeserving favour. 

I can expect good results not because I worked hard for them, am smart enough, etc, but because of the very fact that His goodness isn't based on my performance, but His greatness! 

Moreover, the first arrow service, just yesterday, was a very timely message. It was about faith, and how it comes by hearing the word of God, believing, and finally by walking it out! Fear and doubt robs you of your dreams and desires. But you know our Daddy God is just so amazing? :-) He loves us so much. Idk how else I can explain His love because it's just too much!! 

In all, I just want to encourage you to step out and ask the Lord with audacious faith! How many A1s you want, which school, which course, which group of friends, etc, ASK OF HIM! Many a time we are afraid to ask the Lord because we are afraid that it won't come to past. But why are we limiting God, when He is not only able, but WILLING to give us more than what we can ever aka or imagine! 

To end off, I'd like to encourage all those taking their results with a few very powerful sharing a from precious friends! 

Shalom,
