Pentecost Service
It was Pentecost Day yesterday. Service was awesome! Worship was not long, only 2 songs one of it being the NZ National Anthem.
There was a sharing from a ex-Holden marketer (Holden is the biggest car company in Auckland, most government sectors use Holden). The testimony was how she quit her high pay job from Holden to become a student in order to wait for the next call from God. It was certainly encouraging. I could not imagine myself doing that! She really have faith in God. Looking at myself and my life, I will need to rely and have faith in God more.
Auckland Mayor Dick was with us. he is really tall! He gave a speech on how churches should be involved in politics to get the country driving to become a Christian country. NZ have gone astray these days.
Sermon was the best. It was how God have given us so much Hope! I know most of it but have never think in such a way Pastor Bruce delivers it. There was on particlaur guy name Thiam who was a 35 years pilot. During his frist 2 years, he faced a fatal accident as a co-pilot. When he was on a flight from HK to US, flying 500 miles from land, one of the engine failed. While his pilot says he was going to check on the passangers, he was left alone in the cockpit. I thought he was gonna pray for his life. But instead he pray for his wife and baby daugther. How amazing! God then give him a verse from Gospel John saying that he will be save. God has done this in my life before. Giving me a verse 3 years ago and it was a promise. To others, it myabe only a verse for the Isralites, but to me it was alive and real. Today, as promise, it was given to me. Noone supports me then, everyone discourage, but I was sure. I was touched, but I forget about it. The sermon was the time that I realized how much Hope God have put in me too. As Christian, we always knew that we have hope but when trial and tribulations come, we are the one who will fall too! Sermon really remind me of how God gave us hope and at the same time promise. It is not an empty hope but a real and firm one. Be grateful all the time.
The rest of the service is still great! Overall, it was the best Sunday service I have gone to for more than a year! I went it empty expecting just like any another combined service with heaps of activities but to my astonishment, I come out full and filled by the holy Spirit.
Thank God for yesterday! May the Holy Spirit keep filling me and be content of what God have given.

Why is Eve created from Adam's rib?
A very romantic explanation that I read!
God created Adam. Adam was alone. God decided to give him a helper. He took a bone from his rib to create Eve, his other half. God did not take the head bone because Eve will headed Adam. God did not take the foot bone because Eve will be trampled by Adam. God took the rib bone. Rib bone is at the centre of a normal man which symbolized the equal between man and woman. The rib bone is also under Adam's arm, where Eve will be safe under Adam's protection. The rib bone is also close at heart, where Adam will love Eve with his heart.
How romantic our God is!

I have an answer for you
In my previous post someone ask me "How far is too far in a relationship?" Refering to Romance and physical intimacy
I was not able to answer.
I read the books "Not without a Hint" and "Boy Meet Girl". I got inspired, love and through prayers, I got the answer!
Now, read it carefully.....
*Dating - Two individual get together without very much to know what they will do for the future, ie not considering marriage.
*Courtship - A process where two indidual get together where they weight the possibilities of marriage at the end of their relationship.
Courtship or dating, the word is not that important. The process and what you do in the relationship is more important.
So how far is too far?
*Consider the things that you do in your relationship. Imagine your relatiosnhip did not work out at the end, are you able to say, I have honour and respect my brother/sister in this relationship? In a relationship, when you are not confirm that you will spend the rest of your life with this particular person, do you think you have the right to enjoy intimacy - romance or physical enjoyment, over him/her? There will be crash and burn when your relationship is over. Ok, say that you did get married and do you think anything you do before marriage is over? No, think twice, you will have to carry the guilt and regrets into your marriage. If you think you will regret what you have done during your courtship, are you sure what you have done is hounouring God? Are you sure you can honour and respect your brother/sister this way?
The bible teaches us to love one another, love our sisters and brothers as we will love ourself.
At the end of your relationship make sure you are able to say these words. "Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world and especially to our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace."
Be sure you have the ability to say that after your relationship and you will be sure that you have honour your sister and God.

Wednesday - Foggy Day
It is Wednesday today and foggy today. The first time when I am in NZ for 4 years that Symond Street, the part from Wakefield Street to Alfred Street, needs 15 minutes to get through.
It is foggy outside means its nice to sleep. Yeah, its cool and very nice to sleep.
During prayer last night, we have a fellowship prayer time which was really good. God is really with us in prayers and we pray earnestly for the Youth Fellowship. We pray for all leaders, particularly the Youth Leader, we pray for people who are extremely busy, Melissa and Vincent, hope they can sope with the stress and commitment, and grow too when they are stress and tired. We pray for people who have yet to know Christ. Come thinking back, I have been with this fellowship for almost 4 years! It was since the first time I came to NZ. Been through thick and thins, high and low plus finding someone :)
Reading "Not without a Hint" from Joshua Harris at the moment. Someone ask me a question of how far is too far for physical intimacy for a couple in Christian views. I do not know how to answer. Sigh, maybe I am searching for the answer myself. The Bible does not specify how far is too far. Hope I can give that person an answer soon. By the way, the book is highly recommended. I have "I kissed dating Goodbye" and "When boy meets Girl" too. Anyone who wana read, you are more than welcome to get them from me. But be sure you return to me not like Joey who takes 4 months to return thr book to me >.<" I thought I lost it them.
Hope today will be a better day and fruitful!

Moody ~
It is Tuesday and I am moody today. The picture shows clearly my mood with the black and white color plus the mao's face. I have no idea why but just everyone who tries to talk to me, I tend to do not like them. Eventhough they are people that I love. It is just so odd.
Sometimes it is small things like this that makes me wonder. What on earth am I feeling like this? Am I crazy? Histeric? I have no idea. I tried to smile back at everyone and try not to look like I do not like them but I think they still see it in my eyes.
I am at work and I have deadlines to meet but I certainly do not feel like doing my work to meet the deadlines. Some people who have higher pay than you just talk - they are call consultants. They think they are the genius while you do all the work. At the end of the day, they are the one who took all the credits. And if your work is doomed, you are blamed coz you are the one who did the job. The worst matter is they have a higher pay than you do. Usually double or even triple of my wages. Talking about fair. And I do not think this is any fair at all.
Its not even 1pm and I am already thinking about going home. Just a very moody day that I want to go and sleep. Maybe its the weather or is it?
Ok, just another random post that I have no idea what about.
