Do Worship!

Nothing can compare the great comfort of His presence.

Worshiping Him..

God who loves me with such an abundance love and grace.

No one loves me like You do, God!

You teach me how love, how to forgive.

What is this great love?

Who deserve for it?

Mom always tells me to sing a praise song, sing a worship song, which I didn't really understand how and why I need to do so. Whenever I called her through phone because we were in the different cities, and told her how stress I was, how tough my life was, what my problems were, then guess what she said?

"After this, you go and sing a worship song."

"What Mom? Don't you have any other advice? I mean, I said I'm having a problem in my school, why SINGING is the answer?? I sing songs in the church once a week, more or less 45 minutes each time, wouldn't they be enough?"

I knew my mom was a person-who-appreciates-music-very-well. She was the one who used to teach me and my brothers piano (only for several years, until we became more pro than her, hohohoho). But I also knew my mom was a newborn Christian! How come she spoke like that; I didn't even remember my pastor reminded me that frequently, to SING.

"Mom really likes this song, 'Allah Kuasa'."

She started to sing. But there was something different, I could feel that.

"Mom keeps singing this at anytime, until Mom memorizes every single word and sings it without mistake. Mom puts the lyric of this song on the cashier table, so that whenever nobody is coming to pay stuffs, Mom starts singing this song. You know, your Dad, Mom told him to do so. To keep singing, keep worshiping Him. Make it a habit, and you will feel the difference, do you understand?"

I kept silent, quite shock for such a response from a mother to her daughter.

Now I understand what she meant.

You come to the Lord, bring your heart, ask Him to satisfy you because you believe only Him who can turn the emptiness of your heart into joyful, thankful, and merciful heart.

Yes, for us, Christians, worshiping is our tool! Worshiping is powerful!

Nothing compares the great comfort of His presence, through the worships.

Truly, it is not how good your voice is, how well you can memorize the song lyrics; it is all about your heart. How thirsty your heart determines how great you will be satisfied by Him.

By singing and worshiping Him, I know that I am nothing. The more I worship Him, the more I feel "yes God, I believe there is always You who love me, no matter what. I let Your will be done in my life. I am waiting for those miracles, for those good things."

By giving our heart and our soul, Jesus is the one who owns our life. He takes control of everything, the whole of us.

Several days later....

".....and Mom reminds you to sing a worship song, because----"

"Yup. Sure I will."

"...... Wow, doesn't sound like you. Okay then."

Curriculum Vitae

I've finished my first-completed-CV just now.

I was so happy although I didn't put my CAP into the resume. I thought my CV's gonna be sucks because of not putting my CAP score (which implied that it was not so awesome), but hey, it still looked nice!! Why? Because it was my CV!!! It IS my CV, and I was soooo proud about it!!! :) :)

Those 2-page-file simply summarized a lot from my life. Yet I couldn't type in every single miracle God has given into my life, it was still awesome!!!! I typed in my degree there, "Bachelor of Science" (Forgot whether ppl type the "Hons." or not, will ask my friend later), as well as my major: "Majoring in Life Sciences with specialization in Biomedical Sciences." Wasn't it awesome??? I also wanted to put in my exchange programme, but it seemed better to put it in AFTER I go back from Sweden!! (yes I think I'll type it in RIGHT AFTER I arrive at Singapore from Stockholm (from UPPSALA)!!!) :) :) :)

Yet, that CV was still a draft one. I sent it to my senior (my big boss W.A.H.) for him to comment on. He always knows how do things excellently. He does every job very well. And thus he is a senior to whom I trust the most :)

Back to the CV....

Feeling tired after finishing the CV, I was thinking, how if we have to send a CV to GOD?

Yes, to God!

I imagined:

For example, I was applying for a job (or maybe a place in heaven?) to God because my time on Earth was almost over. I wanted to check it out about how to go to Heaven. Then in front of the Heaven's gate, His angels ask,

"Hmmmm.. you areee... let me check. Aha! Miss Christine, yes, can you give me your CV please? What? Haven't prepared yet? Okay, no worries. Anyway, now is still the CV submission period for you. Be noted that the CV must be brief and no more than 2 pages. Please send the softcopy of your CV...."

(OMG I think I can memorize the email sent from NUS)

"..... directly to my email: i.am.an.angel@heaven, okayyyy?"

(how cute the email address is..... =.=)

"And oh ya, successful applicants will be shortlisted and notified via your cell group leader. So do attend your cell group meeting every week. Otherwise you'll miss a lot of information."

(jgerr. looks like an advertisement for CG. hahahaha. Anyway God can use anyone or anything, so this is just an example.)

Then I went and prepared my CV, the best CV I had ever written!! And, humm, what did I write in there?

Maybe it'd become like this:

Dear Heavenly Father Jesus Christ,

RE: Application for Heaven Eternal Residences (HER)

Believing in Your salvation and Your cross regardless of how long I have declared it, is the only thing I can bring as an applicant for Your Heaven Eternal Residences (HER) for academic year now/forever. I am a sinner whose past-present-future sins were washed away by Your Holy blood, now expecting to graduate from School of Life (SoL) at University of Earth (UoE) in *month and year*.

Of the competencies required for this position:

- Understanding of Romans 3:23 - Everyone sins.

- Understanding of Ephesians 2:8-9 - Human can do nothing for his own salvation

- Understanding of John 3:16 - Jesus is THE answer

- Understanding and practical of Romans 10:9-10 - Confess with mouth, and believe in heart that Jesus is GOD.

Other than the above competencies, I can also bring to You:

I look forward to meet with You in HER to further praise and worship You. I can be contacted anywhere, anytime, via anything. Thank You very much for Your salvation and blood.

Yours,

Christine Liwang

Hahahahaha.. It would be really awesome, wouldn't it???

The good news is, by believing in Christ we are totally guaranteed a place in His HER! :)

No need to prepare a resume, no need to consult a lot of stuffs to your seniors!

BUT there's still a deadline to confirm your place there.

Since He's a good God, He'll surely remind you if you're coming closer to the deadline date and yet haven't confirmed your place.

God also wants that, after you have finished in confirming your place, do remind your friends and people out there! Each person's deadline IS different, no one knows when your friend's is! The time might be very soon for the ones who sit alone in the corner of the LT, or for him who you really don't want to meet for any reasons (especially while you're eating in Frontier, Techno Edge, The Deck, The Terrace, Foodgle, Super Snacks, Fongseng, etc), or maybe for the ones who you spend a lot of time with during the classes. Hey, do you know whether they have done their confirmation or not? Ask who? no one knows! Ask the person! Make sure they know that, they don't need any CCA points for HER. No bidding rules, as well as there's no balloting system. Places are always enough. Only direct declaration is needed, then their places would be automatically guaranteed. Let them know, no appeal will be entertained after the deadlines. So what are you waiting for? DO SIGN UP NOW.

Oh no, why do I sound so NUS? =.= hahahahaha..

Actually I didn't mean this post for this topic. I was just too excited typing and this post was getting longer and longer. I even too tired to read this once again. It's morning already!! I sleep late again. My parents would be very angry if knowing this. But I am happy, because I'm writing this post, not wasting my time on Facebook. Maybe I'll post this on FB, hope someone will read it. Hahahaha. Thanks God for such a great life :)

Midterms!

Yesterday (since now is already 'today'), I just had 2 midterms in a row. Both were my core modules. 1 was a Life Science Module, the other one was Stats for Life Science Module. It was a 1.5 hour paper for the Cell Biology, and was 1 hour for Stats.

Cell Biology LSM2103 was NOT all about memorizing, surprisingly.

It was more to the analytical stuffs, which then became a shock therapy for me during the test.

I studied hard for the module. I tried to memorize and summarize every single word, dot, diagram, anything! But I guess only 30% of all those things came up in the paper. I was not too good in analytical thinking. Now I can only pray and hope for the best. No matter what, it has finished. I promise I'll study hard for this module for the rest of the semester. Still got time. Still got chance. This module's gonna be the best module for this semester, I pray.

For the Stats midterm, I really spent too much time for the 1st question. In fact, that was only about counting the mean of a data set. I was just afraid I counted inaccurately. Hence, I counted for several times, which then appeared to give the same result, means my calculation was correct from the 1st time I did. But really really thank God! There was 1 question which I was quite sure I answered correctly. Suddenly I realized, it was impossible to get such an answer like that. At that time, my lecturer asked us to stop writing. Hence quickly I calculated by my calculator, and it was true: my calculation was wrong. I wrote the new answer -which I believe must be correct. Even if the 2nd answer was not correct, the 1st answer WAS not the answer- just before my paper was collected. Phiuuww..

I have finished 4 CAs already up to now. They were Chinese, Experimental Bio, Cell Bio, Stats. Only Chinese's result that has been released. This Chinese test, which I hope I might get almost a perfect score, appeared to get lowwwerr that expected. I answered wrongly in a question, which worths 4 marks. My friends -who got a higher score than me- actually answered wrongly in more questions than me. However, she did it for some 1 mark or 0.5 mark questions. I was quite sad, but HEY! I impossibly did as excellent as that if it was not God who guides me! So, give thanks to God!! Thank You God for the Chinese test result, waiting for the others. The best is yet to come!! :)
