A Place of Freedom
A place of Destiny
What will result when the two clash
Awaken the chaos within
The point where light and dark converges
May 30th
Started the day with a very wet and dangerous IPPT. I slipped with doing my shutter run and could not make the timing... I could not get my below 10 sec timing sad. Then I did my broad jump... I had such a bad slip that I kind of a hurt my back and spine. Well there is the tingling feeling when I landed badly. Then I went for my 2.4 km. I dislike taking IPPT with officers. They all ran so far ahead that I had no one to pace la Sad... But I got my best timing so far. 13.05, I still need to improve.
Then I went to find Adrian at church. I met Bryan and him and we went over to beauty world for lunch. We all had chicken rice la. Lol. This might be an example of peer pressure but, well. I just have a craving for chicken rice la. I need to recharge for RADICAL CONFERENCE ma.
Adrian and me then waited at the 2nd floor for I don’t know how long la. Till we got chased out la. Then we waited on the first floor to get good seats hahaha.
I think this is the first time I was so excited about service la. I just ran up the stairs behind Bryan lor. But I still managed to get some good seats.
There is only one word to describe the conference >>> Awesome
The conference started out great with Pastor Dave as the first speaker. And when I thought that it would not have gotten any better, God showed me how He powerful He can be, Pastor Preston is such a powerful speaker. If I were to rate the sessions from a scale of 1 to 10, the first would be 100, 2nd 1000, 3rd 10000 and 4th would be way beyond the previous ones. I can only say that our God is GREAT.
From session 1, I’ve learnt that we all will face furnace in our lives. Even as we face the fires of these furnaces, we all must know that Jesus will walk into the furnace with us. Knowing this, we all must have the faith to believe that Jesus will pull us through the problems we face. It is impossible to do things with our own strength. But with faith in Jesus, nothing is impossible for us.
Interlude: Adrian, Daniel and I went over to KAP for dinner and to meet Kenny to pass him my games... Well we tried to evangelise to him... But I have a feeling that God is telling me to trust in Him timing. I pray that I have opened the door in his heart. And God I pray that You will nurture the seed that was planted.
From session 2, I’ve realised that Ps Preston really look like Shrek... Ok my bad. But he is a very powerful speaker. And from it I learn that Christian walk is about the process. But due to technology and advancement, we start to take the process out of our everyday life. It is with the process that we make choices, and it’s these choices that will shape who we are. We cannot go through a Christian life on “borrowed” fervour, faith and passion. We all must strive to build it up ourselves. And it is here, that I finally realised that I might have been using borrowed fervour and passion. I want to pray that God will once again burn in me His holy fire, the passion for His name and the love for Him. We all are made differently and it is up to Him to use us to how He had made us.
Went home straight after that, chatted on msn for a while before I knocked out cold.
May 31st
My fire for God is burning at full blast; it is like God telling me:” Keith go to church now, get a good seat and hear my words”
So what to do? There is only one answer. Follow God’s directions, so I went over to church and met some friend along the way. I met Bryan and we waited for a while before the ushers set up the barriers.
I don’t like standing beside someone with the same name as me... Keith yeo was there beside me and whenever someone calls either of us, we’ll turn to face them -_-...
The moment they let us in, Bryan rushed in like a wild horse and me behind him. And those people who were in front of me grabbed on to Bryan like something from the scene for pt 3 of Lord of the Rings. But for the first time I was able to get a front row seat and I can tell you it is awesome. I never felt God’s presence so strongly before. All Praise to God alone.
From session 3, for once I learn that you should never sit in front of girls when you know that they will scream. From the sermon, I felt God telling me that since He can take all the sins of the world and forgive us all. Then we as little Christ must be able to do the same. We all must be forgivers. And we should change the way we life our life. We all should remove our masks, which are the expectations that others have of us. We are also called to be real heroes, no heroes like superman or whatever, but a hero, a person who is willing to help others in situations where our surrounding is falling apart. We must model our role model who is Jesus Christ our Lord.
Interlude: Fervour had to entertain some brothers and sisters from china. We had about 3 games to get to know each other. And shepherd and the others girls decided to put Adrian on permanent forfeit. Why? Cos they want him to sing for them. Hahaha. I pity you Adrian.
We then took the church van to beauty world for dinner. Then we all rushed back to church and well, shepherd and wei kian helped us to cut the queue. Yay our shepherd rocks... We then formed a chain and started cutting in. The queue was something like this Wei Kian, Desmond, Me, Shepherd and Miao Xia... The others just became lost sheep... Hahaha... It reminds me of Meh...Meh...Meh... Mmmmmeeeeeeehhhhhhh... Splat... I’m such a sadist
And finally session 4, from this final session: God told me that we will face situation in our lives. But we must look past those situations that we face and focus on Jesus Christ. When we are down, we can rely on friends to help us go closer to Him, but we must first search our friends. We must make sure that they are right ones. Friends who are willing to carry us to Christ, I not only want to have friends like them, but I also want to be that kind of friend. When we are down emotionally or spiritually, we can be easily led by our friends. So it is of the utmost importance to have friends or be friends that will lead you to Christ and not away from Him.
After the last session, we decided to have a cell group outing. The guys were suppose to be playing CS but we have to be members of the Lan shop to play so we gave up and decided to join the gals and liquid’s cafe. It was a fun time there playing all kinds of games... Even a game called Romeo and Juliet hahaha. I managed to solve the game. Hahaha.
Then Felicia, Collin and me went over to west mall area. Collin alighted first and Felicia and me after that. I sent her to her block as it was quite late (like 11.30pm) and crossed over to the interchange to get 106 home. But well, it just left when I got there, but I managed to catch 61 instead... I want to take 106 la... lol
And well that is the end of the day.
