I AM NOTHING - Ginny Owens

I could travel over oceans,
cross the deserts, climb the mountains
just to share Your story, bring You glory
and win souls for You.
I could sing like an angel
songs so humble and so thankful
full of drama and emotions
so the world could know your truth.

I could give away my money
and my clothes and my food
to restore those peopl who are poor
and lost and down and low
I could succeed in all these things
find favor with peasents and kings
but if i do not love i am nothing.

I could live a flawless life
never cheat or steal or lie
and ever speak so kindly,
smile so warmly and go about doing good
I could dedicate my self to do what everyone want else wants me to
and listen to them compliment them
and say the things I should

I could show up every sunday
lead the choir and bible study
and they all might come to know me
as a leader and a friend
I could achieve success on earth
but succeess cannot define my worth
and all these actions, all these words
they would not matter to me

cos songs will fade to silence
and stories they will cease
and the dust will settle covering all my self esteem
so as i strive to serve You
won't You make it clear to me
that if I do not love I am nothing

And if i cannot live my life loving my brother
then how can I ever love Who lived His life for me
O sent to earth from heaven
humble Servant, Holy King
come to share a story, get no glory and save my searching soul
You'd knew that i would deny You
and crucify You but nothing could stop You from living for me
dying for me so that i would know

that songs would fade to silence
and stories they will cease
and the dust will settle covering all my self esteem
but as i feel that you've made it clear enough for me to see
that if i do not love,
I am nothing.

Keep Me Burning

This month has been really hectic for me, rushing from camp to camp, work to work, and play rehearsal to rehearsal. I am glad that yes, finally they are all over... and after all these, when i woke up this morning, there was a Sunday School Song that was ringing in my head and i would like to share it with all of you...

Give me Oil in my lamp
Keep me burning, burning, burning
Give me Oil in my lamp
I pray, I pray

Sing Hossana, Sing Hossana
Sing Hossana to the King of Kings
Sing Hossana, Sing Hossana
Sing Hossana to the King

Indeed, at the end of the day, God is the only Almighty One who is able to give us oil in our lamps, to guide us through the most fatigue period in our lives. And in our tiredness, are we still able to Sing Hossana to the King?

Let's take some time to pray and seek God today once again. And ask Him for brand new oil to start or rather SPARK off a brand new year...

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

NO ROOM

"She wrapped Him in cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:7b

Slightly more than some 2000 years ago, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was born. As the passage tells us, He was laid in a manger because there was no room for Him in the inn. All the rooms had been booked and filled.

So it is with the hearts of men today. There is so much clutter in our lives that some of us have no room for Jesus. Even as believers, some of us might have had our lives filled with and hearts set on so many other things, that there is very little left that we are willing to offer to the Lord. Let us reflect on our lives as Christmas approaches and allow the Lord to fill our entire lives this day, and not just a part or a section of it.

LET MY HEART BE GOOD SOIL

Heya everyone! Just want to share something that I learnt on the very first night of youth camp from the passage in Luke 8:1-15 on the parable of the sower. Quick, go flip your Bibles to read that passage again!

This is a parable that I had learnt in Sunday school (many many years ago) and had taught to the Sunday school children when I was serving in the ministry, so when we first turned to it last Friday night I wasn't really expecting to learn something new from it. Guess you could say that my heart wasn't really 'good soil' at that point in time, and that I was kind of prideful about the knowledge that I had.

But God was good and He allowed me to see how the passage applied to my life. Raymond started sharing from the passage and he gave the illustration of how a farmer would prepare the field by ploughing it before he scattered the seeds. He talked about the plough that would be pulled across the fields and how that plough was so sharp that it could dislodge the stones in the field to make the ground ready to receive the seeds. What he said made me think about my own heart condition that day, and to ask if there were any 'stones' in my heart that were preventing me from fully absorbing the Word of God.

That night, the knowledge that I had in my head for so many years had finally travelled into my heart. Time and again, we need to ask God to search our hearts and to show us the areas that have become hardened to Him, and ask Him to soften and open our hearts once again to receive the Word that He has for each of us.

There's a hymn entitled "Let my heart be good soil", but I can't find the lyrics for it to post up here. If any of you do come across it, let me know yah?

We covet your prayers... please cover us :)

Aceh, located on the northern tip of the island of Sumatra, was the closest point of land to the epicentre of the massive 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, which triggered the tsunami that killed at least 238,000 persons and made a further 500,000 homeless.

God is in control

hi guys, just a short testimony about what God has done in my life and all that He has brought me through this past 2 weeks.

As you know, 6 of us from YF are going on a Short term mission trip to Aceh on the 16th of December. We were not able to confirm our return trip as our team was still deciding if we wanted to come back on the 19th (which means that the trip would be REALLY short) or 21st (which means that we would be able to do more work there) 20th of december was not available. So i called the travel agency before our meeting to confirm that there were flights on both the 21st and 19th and told the agency that we might need to book 21st instead of 19th (which was the original plan)

Anyway to cut the long story short, when we decided on which day to return which was the 21st, i procrestinated for about 2 day (excluding weekend) before calling the agency as i though that no one would wanna leave aceh... hhaha. However when i called the agency they told me that there were NO tickets left!!! (its because of all the volunteer workers who are returning to sg for christmast) Oh nooooooooooo! I was so shocked that i celled Huiling immediately. I was so upset!!!! Then huiling gave me a string of other agencies to called and i called one by one, i think i called a total of like 8 agencies! After everything i was still upset n huiling told me this "Dont worry if its in God's plan that we go to aceh, He will make the way for us" and wow my heart totally fell at peace and i knew that in some way, a miracle would happen!

And it did!! Yesterday one of the travel agency called and said that they managed to get tickets for us.... HOORAY!! God is indeed soverign and in control in all situations!!!

COUNTDOWN!

2 days more to youth camp! Hope everyone has been feeling excited and looking forward to it! We're going to have a great time with one another and with God! Let us all continue to ask the Lord to prepare our hearts so that we might understand the Word and see how it is relevant to our lives today!

What is your best youth camp memory so far? Tell it to everyone in less than 30 words by tagging it on the tag-board!

yoyozzz...

if you are reading this blog, i would like to ask you to join me in a 3 min short prayer right now, for the upcoming Youth Camp 9th-12th December, 2005. Just 3 things to pray for:

1. God to sustain all camp committee members, games group leaders and cell leaders and
speaker Raymond. Preparation is intense and we need more of God's POWER!!!

2. Hungry hearts to receive from God's message in this camp! No point we all go play and fun
liao come back find nothing meaningful right? We must be eager and desperate for His
message!

3. Let all newcomers and pre-believers to this camp find this camp warm, fun and TOTALLY
meaningful! We want them to know the love of God's family, and needless to say, we want
them to know God and have a relationship with the everlasting King!!!

Ready? 3 mins starting from...now! Let's pray!

THE SERVE PROGRAMME

Hi guys! Since the As and Os are over, many of us have lots of time on our hands, instead of bumming around or getting a brainless job in a office ( i say it's brainless cos of my own experience doing the shredding of paper during part-time job days =p) why not consider joining the SERVE programme? =) If you are truly interested in serving God while you're still young, just drop me an email or let me know and I'll sign up for you! Hurry hurry dont wait! (tinatan@livingstreams.org.sg)

The Serve Programme started in 1999, to support parishes in their attempts to disciple their youth. It aims to guide young people into a richer relationship with God, and a deeper desire to do His work, especially with regard to missions.

Serve is tailored to youths who are waiting for their GCE O level or A level examination results. There are three components to this programme, namely -
2 months of lectures; on topics as varied as ‘the character of God’ and handling money.
teaching on missions, culminating in a 7-10 day mission trip.
a 3-month attachment in their own Parish.

The Serve Programme 2003 was launched on January 2nd this year at St John’s-St Margaret’s church, with 32 participants from 11 churches. Their supporters, consisting of former Servers, church leaders, parents and guests, joined them for a time of worship, in which past participants of Serve had the opportunity to share how they had benefitted from it. Youth Pastor Soh Bee Ling (COOS) also testified of the changes she had seen in the young people who had been through the programme. Ven. Rennis Ponniah preached on “Meeting God in His Word” and the evening ended with the dedication of the participants to the Lord. Many of the participants of this year’s Serve Programme have now moved on to further studies or national service. May the Lord continue to impact the lives of these young people.

Currently still in Children's Camp

As the title says... Yup yup i am still currently in children's camp. And to be honest, i wasnt really looking forward to it. :p maybe because i have attended way too many children's camp and that after every single camp, i will lose my voice because i would screaming at the kids non stop.

However, when we were having worship with the children today. i felt. touched. When i saw the children lift up their voices to sing to God, it was so loud, so clear and most of them were closing their eyes, concentrating upon worship. Not only that, when they were praising God, they were jumping up and down, doing all the actions, unaware of the people around them. It came from the hearts of these children and we adults felt it. The funny thing was, we didnt have to lead them into worship. Instead, they led each other into sincere worship. To be honest, this was one of the best worship i have ever had...

And it got me thinking once again... when was the last time you truly enjoyed worship? when was the last time you even truly worship? As we grow older, what is missing out in our worship? Our hearts? Our shyness? Our constant concern about other people looking at us?

If you happen to read this in time, please do join the kids for worship on Friday 2nd December 2005 @ 730pm at Christ Church Secondary. Come experience something within them... and let the children teach us something.
