anyway, i've been working... and i haven't been doing very well in working... its suppose to be a part time job... but its worse than full time... well, i've been thinking.. and praying.. that someone would just tell me to quit... out of 5 friends, they asked me to quit... haha... but from a non christian point of view... till i hear that from someone that since God has put me in this team, i should focus on support raising... that really triggers me... cos, i've always wanted to work to earn money to support myself to japan and when that someone whom i always argue with says that i should focus on my support raising... my first thought... "Thank You Jesus!!" i found my answer... you know who you are...
anyways, i'm sorry i've not been helping... whether in uploading the soft copy or whatsoever.. and everything.. even jiamin's newsletters have to put on hiatus for a while... been really down and depressed though... not much breakthroughs... but i guess i'm growing.. quietly...
i miss seeing you guys so much.. really~~ its fun to have team meetings and have fellowship together.... so, let us not stop our dying love for each other... haha!! and lets not let our enthusiasm drop!! we gotta keep pumping energy into it!! whenever you feel tired, rest in the Lord... when you are thirsty... drink in His living water!! when you need some encouragement!! says AMEN!! when you need comfort~ shout Jesus!! when you need friends... msn us!! hahaha!!
dearie teamie~ don't forget to blog... any peanuts or ant bites... doesn't matter... even one sentence a day encourages each other!! especially those who are deep in exams... that would be pleasant!! lets just say... since we are stuck with each other for 25 days there... so, gotta know each other real well first... yar!! AMEN!!! i'm so tired.. yet happy when i meet up with you guys!!
cheers~
p/s: i've did some changes to the yahoogroups... so its gonna be Nagoyans@yahoogroups.com instead of the super long cannot remember email... and this is gonna be the yahoogroup website...

How's everyone doing? Guess most of us are pretty busy with exams. Let us just press on, during this period of time, let us continue to fix our eyes on Jesus and aim to finish the race! Guess God has been really working in my life, many things happened and i've learn how to deal with conflict resolution and really to love unconditionally. I really wanna thank God for bringing me through the trials that i had and building me up to a stronger person. I just wanna encourage everyone through this verse.
17and I promise to lead them out of their troubles. I will give them a land rich with milk and honey, where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live.
Exodus 3:17 (Contemporary English Version)
Exodus 3:17 (Contemporary English Version)
Our God is not only a God that brings us out of our troubles, our tough period of time but one who cares more than that..... a land rich with milk and honey he'llprovide.
Guess this exam period will be a tough period of time for most of us but everything is possible with Jesus!! Amen??

to know You / Nichole Nordeman
It's well past midnight
And I'm awake with questions that won't
Wait for daylight
Separating fact from my imaginary fiction
On this shelf of my conviction
I need to find a place
Where You and I come face to face
Thomas needed
Proof that You had really risen
Undefeated
When he placed his fingers
Where the nails once broke Your skin
Did his faith finally begin?
I've lied if I've denied
The common ground I've shared with him
And I, I really want to know You
I want to make each day
A different way that I can show You how
I really want to love You
Be patient with my doubt
I'm just tryin' to figure out Your will
And I really want to know You still
Nicodemus
Could not understand how You could
Truly free us
He struggled with the image
Of a grown man born again
We might have been good friends
Cuz sometimes I still question, too
How easily we come to You
No more camping on the porch of indecision
No more sleeping under stars of apathy
And it might be easier to dream
But dreamin's not for me

i was just listening to this song and well, i'm not sure how many of you identify with me, but sometimes i really do question who is this God i believe in and where does His will for my life lies. Sometimes this whole "what's Your will" thing seems so elusive that i get pretty frustrated about it as well. Before we can even go to Japan to tell of the people there that there is a Redeemer waiting for them, let it be our prayers to "really want to know [God]" first, yeah? :)
Have a blessed weekend!! Praise God for all things new - especially a new day and a new week. grins. This is the season of singing! Sing praises to God. :)
