Faithfulness

Hey guys!

Its been a pretty busy and random week haha.
Well at least i am finally off anti-biotics, but I think I am starting to get sick again :(
hehhee oh yeh btw spring is so annoying! *sneeze* *my eyes!!* :D

Soem pretty funny stuff have happened to me during the past week at school lol.
Firstly, i was walking at school, and I yawned, then a fly flew in my moutH!! AHH!!
Thats the kind of stuff u see in movies. I didn't know it was actually possible in real life... :)

And today, I 'swallowed' my chewie! I feel sick now haha. Well I alwaays eat chewing gum in the morning, andd I usually keep it in my mouth, but today, the gum dissolved into mini pieces, and I accidently swallowed it! GG!!! Dont buy apple flavour extra gum- it is baDD!!! U die if u eat! ahH!



Fungus:
Praise and Worship was really different this week at Fungus. The 'Praise' part is generally thanking God for stuff, so what we did was to pass the mic around to everyone and they thanked God for what wanted to thank him for.

I really love it how Fungus encourages us to be more genuine with our relationship with God. Its made a huge impact on my life. Thanks Qynnie!

One quality I really admire is faithfulness. Our God is faithful- regardless of who we are, or what we've done. In Chris Tomlin's 'Your Grace is Enough', the first line goes ""Great is your faithfulness oh God; you wrestle with the sinners heart"

God doesn't give up on us just because we are sinners, but he wrestles with our hearts so that we can have a second chance to repent. I try to be as faithful as i can to other people, cause i believe it is a really important quality to have.


Qynnie's 30th! Wohoho!!

On Saturday the 25th, Qynn turned 30! wow! double digits now! hhehe. We went to play soccer on Sunday after church, then went for dinner at La Porchetta Box Hill later.

Soccer:
The weather was warm on sunday, so soccer was pretty fun hehe. Sunday is my unco day, so yeh.. I was keeper for a fair bit of the time. it was fun :) its funny how our team (a pretty noob one) was on like a 4 game winning streak, including defeating Qynns team in like 1 min.

La PorchettA:

I didnt expect dinner to take so long, and I had quite a bit of hw i was planning to do. We ate a buffet dinner hehe. It was pretty cool. I just ate full on pizza lawl.

We played a pizza eatign game after.
There were 4 teams. They were Altitude with darren, Fungus leaders, Fungus boys, And Fungus girls.

The results were pretty surprising. Fungus leaders came first, then the Fungus girls (wow), Fungus boys, then Altitude peeps. hhehee u eat so slow!!

The loser was meant to dance in front of randoms at the restaurant, but we wernt allowed to causr the owner of the restaurant is a homo.... So instead, they went to the middle of the road and harrassed oncoming cars lol.

HAppy Birthday Qynnie! Ur the awesomest youth pastor ever!! (i am being serious!)


Well guys i gonna go and sleep now ehehe. I got a flu again and mega hayfever lol :)
byeeee

2.5 in 1 blog :D

Hi peeps!
Soz for my laze at blogging, so here is a blog :)

1. bahhaha
As u might not have noticed, i been fairly sick for the past week. I had a flu and missed like 3 days off school lol. That made me feel guilty! >.< Anyway, I still sick, but I thank God for not letting me get any worse. Read on :)

2. FunGus!
There was soemthing abotu Fungus yesterday that stood out to me. That was praise and worship. So many times we see people who worship lead just by 'singing a song.' What definately stood out to me was Isaac; leading with a heart that sincerely loves God. That is what leadership is; setting a good example for us.


The topic of the message was salvation. To summarise it- We are saved by our belief in God. Faith without deeds is indeed dead; as how can we say we believe if we can't back it up with deeds? It is also by God's grace and love for us that we are saved. Pretty simple.


3. Jerusha and Mr Tools bday!

Happy Birthday Isaac and jerusha!!! lol! Ur the coolest twins I know :)
Today we went to their bday party by the beach. Pretty nice weather I gotta admit.
From swimming in jellyfish-infested waters, to completely owning Isaac and others, the day was really fun.
lol when we first got to the water, all of us were to chicken to even go anywhere near there. That was coz there were jellyfish! eww! They are fat! eww!
lol after like ages of standign near the waters edge with our jaws wide open, some of us finally decided to just jump in. The water was surprisingly cold, since it aws so sunny lol. I think I only bumped into one about two times :) it felt eww.

anyway mr brain doesnt seem to be functioning properly -.- i cant think of wat to write
Yeh before we left, we planned to do tonnes of meanie stuff to Isaac :)
We had our chilli and oyster sauce to put in his hair, eggs to put down his pants (eew!), shavign cream to 'cream' him with, and flour to chuck at him lol.

We creeped up to him while he was playing volleyball, took him down, then unleashed our stuff on him lols. His hair was like all red and slimy, and he looked like a snowman at the beach with all that shaving cream on him hahha. I was the person responisible for the oyster sauce mess, and I accidently hit on of my fellow comrades; mr goh, while wildly shaking my bottle bahaha. Soz man! yeh all the and around that area was totally red lmao. It looks like someone got shot there...

After Isaac washed off all that stuff, things went a little out of hand- nearly every innocent bystander got creamed! lol! Luckily I wasnt a victim of the creaming lol. I feel sorry for Isaac with those eggs down his pants lmao- i bet they dont feel to comfortable!

After that I went back the end :)

Cya peeps. I am really tired now lol.. cya!

School!

Hi peeps!!
School is starting on Monday! oh noO! the worst part is daylight saving the day before school! ayaHH! I lost my prechus sleep :( Oh that reminds me to start my hw lol. hehehe. any smart people wanna volunteer? haha

But i gotta say, these holidays have been pretty refreshing and fun at the same time :)

Yesterday at Fungus we talked about reading the Bible i thinkk
well in our discussion group, i was actually surprised that not many people read the bible reguarly, and some have never actually read it at all! woah! I wonder how they survive lol.
Some people see reading the bible as a chore; but it reality, it is really beneficial. Oh sHUCKS! i just glanced at the weather forecast for monday on my taskbar. gg its 13 raining -.-

Well back to topic:
Personally, i dont see how we can grow in faith or extend our relationship with him without God's word. Like yeh if u dun read the bible, you wouldnt know what God expects of you, and what is right or wrong etc. When u go to church and stuff, the pastor guy basically takes out the verses for you and explains it. That is good; cause its like readign the bible.

But why then should WE read the bible ourselves aswell?
Firstly, cause wat the pastor says may not be extirely relevant to your life during the many situations you go through. So by readign the bible yourself, God can speak to you all the time, and entirely to you.

Yeh we were going through some discussion of why some of us didnt read the bible. I remember kimmy said if it was liek a glossy magazine, she would read it. lol. I begun to wonder if my blog was a pain to the eye? I better start putting in some pics lol. That might help ur eyes not to hurt too much.

But about the bible reading thing: I find reading the bible 'food to the soul'. For me, if i dont read the bible, something in my life seems missing. You can learn heaps of stuff from God's own word, so put some time aside, and welcome to the wonderful world of hardcore bible reading ^^

Here is a pic i found. its really funny haha



Well anyways enjoy school/uni guys! Rememebr to put god in the center of everything you do, cause he deserves more than all we can give him. God bless!

FUNGUS IS BETTER THAN FGA KIDS! lol

Sup peeps!

Holidays are nearly over hee. yeh and today was a pretty funny day. Qynn and his evil Fungus leaders challenged the FGA kids leaders to a soccer match hhee. We played indoor at Whitehorse Aquatic. For those who cbs readign more, i can summarise it in one sentance; we got owned.
lol it was pretty funny, coz they had the 'calve man' Isaac Ho. hahha. we were no match for his huge calves lol.

Well their team was made of Qynn, Zimmer, Pete, Choong, BanzoO, Mr Tool.
Ours consisted of Nick, Shaun, Daniel, Joshie Wawa, Keeann, TIm and MEEE! haha
I think we lost like 7-14? well something like that. We got gged hha. Now we gotta wear t'shirts next week saying 'Fungus is better than FGA Kids.'

To be honest, that is not even a punishment lol. Its a reward ^^ Coz we are in FUngus anyway.. so yeh lol. hehee i scored 1 goal. I cant play indoor for some reason.. I think its cause my shoes that are so called 'indoors' cant even grip the ground lol. Cause of that, I cant sprint or stop running without completely sliding lol. Well at least those shoes are good for shuffling ^^ coz really slippery gaahaha

well yeh, pretty cool day haha. Today's church message was really good cause it is relevant to so many of us 'Christians' lives. I din take notes, but go to fga webbie i think. There got the powerpoint. It was about the Wise vs Foolish minds.

That made me think of something. Wise (FGA kids) vs FOolish (FUNGUS! WOOT!)
lol of course i kidding hhee.

Well anyways, bye peeps. Enjoy ur week, and god bless!

CIA day and teachers meeting! ^^

So hi peeps!

Lol yesterday was a pretty packed day aswell as really hot. Well yeh it was CIA day and also my kids leader teacher's meeting.

CIA DAY:
Cia day was pretty fun actually lol. Umm most of the cia peeps came tO the box hill base, and from there we went to box hill gardens for a picnic ^^
lol thanks to Kim and Michelle for all their hard work in organising the day. It was much appreciated :D
Cept i wanna contribute more to cia and fungus in the future. And yeh Michelle was cookign eggs at the office, and u might guess wat comes next lol; the whole place smelt like EGGS!! ahahahahh!!!
I could smell it from the other side of the place lol :)

Well for lunch we had the 'stinky eggs' that michelle made, some tuna, ham, cheesEE! ahaha
It was so windy aswell!! ahh my hair got all stuffed up haha. But at least someone like Jared din go, or he will be like AAHH!HH my HAIR!
Also the sun was burning hot lol. But it was still fun :) I forgot to pack water lol = mega dehydration!
We playeda couple of games, including booting all the little kiddies of the playground ^^
lol u know those flying fox things? well we were inspired some kids playing this game involving 2 peeps full on kicking the thing to each other at opposite ends lol. After the parents were staring at us open-jawed. lol...
Well we also playeda couiple of silly but fun games after. They were a catwalk involving using newspaper as a costume, and also a weird tellign-story game, where everyone had to contribute 1 sentance etc. having hughbert in the group, you wont wanna know wat happened in the story lol... So yeh, go to micheeleee wong's blog to see it haha.
We also played a feeding doughnut game after. This changed my opinion on doughnuts forever lol. My advice: doughnuts are EVIL!!

After the cia meeting i stayed at box hill for dinner until the teachers meeting lol. I ate way too much!! Tnx for SOnja who gave me a gloria jean's voucher :) I got a large cookies and cream which i shared with herrol (glowing calves boi). After that i went to Blue Hills and ate more!!! ayahH! My tummy was so big that i couldnt see my toes no more! (ghaha jk!).

Yeh everyone was late for teachers meeting lol. They all thought it started at 7.30 when it really started at 7. During praisea nd worship i could feel all my food bouncing with me lol. But i gotta say, it was a really bold decision for aud to do P&W with the lights on. Keep it up Aud! :)
But yeh, we honestly dun need a perfect atmosphere to worship God. Real worship comes when we put everything around us aside, and really focus on God. THere is nothign i love m,ore than seeign a burning passion for God in someone's life. Cmon worship God regardless what others think of you; coz our god really deserves our all.

Pastor Qynn gave the message last night. It was about the '1 percenters'; those who do all the hard work behind the scenes, who generally dont get any credit for it. You may be someone secretly organising a Fungus rally or something, etc. But you know, people around you may not recognise your contricution, but God sees every single thing you do, and will reward you for your deeds.

DOnt worry if you dont get praised for tyhe good things you do. DOnt look to please; look to please God.

Well yeh, i better get going now hehe. Bye peeps, and God blesS! Keep ur fire burning for GOd!

Kidshaper- Worship

Well yeh Luke Harris was the guy giving this message. Pretty cool eh? btw if u dont know who he is, he is the kids pastor of the Brisbane Church; the ones who did the albums "All of my days" and "Saturate"

Well to worship, you don't need to be a good singer or instrument player; all u need to do is worship from the heart. Soz if i repeat a lot of the stuff on my blog cause i uploading my notes from Kidshaper, and most of this stuff i already covered anyway. But yeh :)

Practice makes perfect. To be a good worshiper, do it everyday in your own life, whether it be worshiping God in the good deeds u do, or by singing praises to him etc.

We shouldn't actually need cool music or guitars to worship God, cause that stuff just sets the atmosphere of worship. It helps us get used to worshiping him. That is why free worship pwns. (please excuse my absurd language, cause i am taking it from my notes :D )

To make worship sessions succesful in a minestry includes choosing appropriate songs for ur sessions. Once u get people to God, he takes on the responsibility. He knows wat u need and hunger, so seek a breakthrough each day.

Fungus/ Kidshaper

Yeh i gonna put up my kidshaper notes thingy.

Well before that, last weeks Fungus was pretty cool. There was something about the message that struck me. I think it was about being a good works machine for God. Being a Christian is meaningless and useless if we don't live out what we say. In each cell group we also made commitments for the week, of something that would do good works for God. We were assigned a 'stalker' to make sure u got it done and stuck to the commitment lolol. My job this week is to stalk Mr Tool.

Well i made a commitment to do the dishes for my mum the entire week. So far, I have actually remembered to do so lol; coz I forget stuff really easily hehehe.

Well yeh now for the kidshaper stuff:

I went to a seperate session called 'Personal Breakthrough'. Here was some of the stuff:

Keys to personal breakthrough-

1. Forgiveness
We were forgiven so that we can forgive. Unforgiveness actually chains the grievance upon yourself. God sets us free from burdens, and if we are unforgiving towards others, the burden stays with us.

... wow where did the resst of my notes go lol....

2. Repentance/ Confession
God will only forgive u if u humble yourself before him and admit u sinned, and make a commitment to turn from your evil ways. Once u are forgiven by God, don't turn back to sin; stay away from it. If u can't resist the temptation, remove the temptation; simple.
As humans, we often sin because we don't even know it is a sin. The devil tries to say it is ok doing wrong. Well it is really dangerous if we don't even know wat we doing is a sin; just like unbelievers, they have no idea that many of the things they do are wrong. Thats why we needa reach out to them.\

Ok now i actually can't find my other notes from the session. Maybe i just didn't take any cause i was sleeping during the sermon? (ahh Sonja don't kill meeee!!)

Well yeh thats the end of this post then :)

Bye peeps i will upload more later!
