YOU have turned my life UPSIDE DOWN and INSIDE OUT. :)

Voila~!

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
- Matthew 11:12

I will take it by force.

I’ve been looking through all my old sermon notes.
From City Harvest to Heart of God.
Still looking through them.
Noticed a trend.
The notes get longer. And less untidy (As I stop falling asleep in service..)

It’s truly been an amazing journey in Christ, in Heart of God Church.
Go, go read all your old sermon notes.
You’ll be able to draw a timeline of your life.
This is mine.

July 2004: Red Rain Concert in HoGC. I came to church for the very first time!
12 September 2004 (I think): I moved over from CHC to HoGC (because I couldn’t stop thinking about the only place which gave me such assurance that I was home).
End November/ early December: My first Overnight Prayer Meeting, where I also received my first prophecy over my destiny.
End November/ early December: Youth Camp!

25 December 2005: Christmas Service! Leon came to church for the first time!
End February/ early March 2005: I rose up into leadership (because I stopped being an insubmissive baboon).

I missed out so many things in this timeline.
The sermons which really spoke to my heart.
Some of my other pitfalls.
And so on.
The people who backslidded.
The people who were saved.
The lives that were changed.

These things which moulded me into the person I am today.
From the cold hearted *doooooooooooooooot* that I used to be, to one whose heart is on fire for Jesus.
From the insecure little girl that hid within me to the (slightly more) confident person that I am.
From short, spikey red hair to long(er) black hair.
From hating kids to teaching hearing impaired, intellectually challenged, primary school kids.
And loving them. :)

Wow.
This IS the greatest game of life.
Beats DOTA, SNK vs Capcom, Tekkens 1-5 and all that nonsense anytime.
Hey, it even beats shopping. :)

I love my life.
I love God.
I love running the race.

It’s gonna be an amazing AMAZING year.
Think Big.
Grow Big.
BE BIG.

I have a BIG GOD.
And I’m gonna be a BIG person.

Breakthrough.
I can almost smell it.
Unworthy 30.

:)

I’m lovin’ it!

loved by Jesus!
