think about thoughts

under the deep blue blanket, lies a great mystery.
some of thier beauty may mesmerized you, while others huant you.
still, they make up the wonderful marine life.
the cycle of killing and reproducing never ends in this place.
with the presence of man, it only quickens thier death.
soon, their lives will be gone and what is left is a piece of lifeless land.
save the earth.

wha. where shall i begin?
God indeed has been very faithful to this brother’s ministry in Far North.
We started small, but the lord has added to our numbers.
Our group currently has about 33 people.
This week, we have witnessed 9 converts! Praise the lord!
indeed, the team of leaders working with me are a team of convicted leaders.
alright, meanwhile, our foucs is to close the backdoor.
we are still looking forward for more converts weekly!
50 for christ!

no time to blog alrdy.
need to rest for tmr’s meeting.

time flies, so fast that one is unable to grab hold of it.
memories are made, as such time tickled away.
faces are imprinted on our minds and hearts.
yet, i hold on to each and every memories.

Joel and i had shepherding at Harbour front mrt control station today.
eh. come to think of it, we always have shepherdings at unexpected places.
When we sat down, and let our muscles relaxed, we start to reminscened about how this group begun.
infact, it all started from last year camp.
That was my first west care group, with only 5 members.
I remembered, that we met on the first night, and shared that we want to see west schools completed.
There were only, Vincent, Yong Le, Keith, one more guy and me.
then so on and therefore. But i must say that this group has come a long way.
Though it was a short period of time, but i dare say that many memories were made.
haha. i still recount that when i first came over to west, i shared a lot with jarvin. about who were in my group and what do i want to see in this care group.

haha. well, those are worth keeping memories.
yupes. anyways, my new team which includes Yuen han and Zheng Kai with my exsisting team (Joel, sherman and sathay) went to sentosa today. we had great fun. we had a whole load of junk food. Did sun tanning, swam in the sea, played soccer and chilled out. looking forward to do more with this team. in order to see 50 strong brothers, we will need at least 6 strong care groups.

inspiration for the day:
John 3:16. The width of God’s love. Universal. If our heart does not pump for other countries people, then something is wrong. real wrong. God’s love is not only for our friends, school and such, but for the whole world.

haha. alright, i’m rather tired. i need to plan for tmr shpd’s meet.
we still want to see more people crossing the line of faith.
NOT ENOUGH.

WE LOVE SUCH PROBLEMS.
WHERE TO PUT THE PEOPLE?!!!! GOSH.

i’m really lazy to check for flaws.

the chocolate lavishes over the solid round ice cream,
as the minutes past, it slides down gently,
and when it reaches the white surface,
the spoon touches it, and with gentle force,
it scoop it up with delectable fingers.
With precise movements, the spoon flew with sufficent force exerting on it and it hit his face.
Laughter resounded across the room.
Indeed, an unexpected prank.

another random thought.

Inspiration for the day:
1- People who are unable to enter the kingdom are people who deny the truth. well, none of us uprightly detest and deny the truth, don’t we? however, selective obedience of the truth is a manisfestation of it. I must admit that there were times, that i was selective in obeying God’s word. This will hinder me from entering his splendid kingdom. what about you? haha.

alright, i spent a great amount of my time today with Bryan and few others. Not forgetting, Sherman.
I want to thank God for a great friend in my life, Bryan. Though we have only known each other for less than 3mths, the lord has made this friendship even stronger. i really appreciate him in my life. Thanks for lending me the starfinder today. I know that it meant a lot to him, however, he still choose to lend starfinder to my team and i. Infact, i made a joke out of it. Our friendship is worth $21. haha. THANK YOU, BRYAN! MY HAO PEN YOU.

Anyways, some updates.
Far north west 5, seen 5 converts today. All sec 1.
we are on out way to 50.
we dare to dream and get our dream done.
because of him.

davidhoe.

wind, it cannot be seen by our naked eyes, yet, one comprehends its exsistence.
However, many of the times in our lives, we failed to appreciate it.
When windless nights occur, we start to bemoan; as if the world was to collapse, any moment.
wind, seems so harmless, but deadly.
when it flares up, it turns into a large hurricane, that may even sweep of few exsistences in this planet, earth.
so seemingly friendly, yet potentially dangerous.

felt like rattling some thoughts off my mind.
anyways, i had a day filled with smiles. i love smiles.
met up with wen jin this afternoon at isle, and we had a great time sharing our learnings. Afterwhich, i met sathya and we wondered off to meridian and had a cold dessert there. I must admit that his walk with God is growing deeper day by day. hmm. then i met melvin and yk for movie; james bond. It was really filled with tactful stunts and worth the money. met k cube after that. Had thail express for dinner. anyways, calire will be flying off tmr, and i hope the no one will high-jack the plane. She better come back in one piece, if not ten pieces. haha. nvm.

some thoughts and inspiration for my day:
1- After being in church for few years, one will realize that all the teachings do not change much. It’s always about God and his love, grace, forgiveness, and such. The word of God is so simple, but it never fails to refresh our minds and soul. Through this book, many other daily living books have been birthed. Gosh, sometimes, i really cannot comprehend why people will invest so much money and time on these daily living books, but hardly a large fraction on reading his word.
2- what do we build our faith upon? was have a spa with my thoughts a moment ago. why do i still commit so much to jesus? In short, his love and grace. Till today, my stand has not change. You just need to find for me flaws in the word of God that cannot be explained, i will forsake this walk with him. If not, i will still hold on to this sound faith.

am looking forward to tmr.
1: meeting sherms for shpding at night.
2: meeting bryan, rk and few others.

God, thank you for such wonderful people in my life.
i must say that i have a very STRONG SHEEP, JOEL.
keep it up man!

super STRONG GOD
AND BTW, GOD IS SPELLED AS GOD AND NOT DOG.
FYI.

haha.

i greatly enjoyed these few days, though o levels holidays only exsisted for merely few days.
it is the presence of God and holy spirit that paints a smile on my face. thank you, Jesus.
To be frank with anyone of you, i love having a close relationship with God.
I love walking closely and in step with him.
Even till today, i cannot help but to lift up a pen and start writing letter to God, as and when i can. =)
He’s my personal saviour, lord and friend.
Jesus mean so much to me. =)
Because of him, i have made also friends who i can entrust my life with. =)
opps, if by now you have not realized, i treasure friendship.
However, God is above all. =)

there are few things that are running through my mind.
firstly, we have one brother from AES that cross the line of faith on19th nov2006 at arund 1158pm!
praise the lord! =)

i just want to take something to enunciate what i shared with my team just now, over the phone:
1- Evangelism is neither a job nor a task but it’s the reason for our very exsistence on earth. If not, we can fly our way to heaven.
2- 50 is a goal given by God, we will not shut the mouth and lock the lord by lowering down our goal. Even if, we hit the all time lowest, 5?, i’m not going to lower down this goal. This is because, God has given this vision and goal to us, and we will not give up. Even if it takes us bringing people to sunday service on 31st dec2006, i’m certain that my team and i will do it. =) i have a team of committed leaders. =)This vision is given by you, so we will never give up
3- if ever, one day i were to stop talking about outreach or discipleship, my group can jolly well remove me as the leader. If not, it will be pointless. What’s my exsistence here in this grp? yeah.

i was listening to the lesson one of pastoral church just now for an hour, and something caught me spellbound.
The sheep that we shepherd, one day might be some guy taking over the politics and influencing the world.
This is why, we as shepherds must give our very best in our shepherdings. And lay down strong foundations! =) yup!

i had a great day which was filled with many memorable events.
Firstly, this morning, we had ulm at church office. =) i was dumbfounded when i saw all the superlative books on the second level. gosh. haha.
secondly, i was dead hungry, that after the meeting i became rather ‘d’ and rushed people to buy food. =x. well, at least, i ate till my stomach was laughing. =) haha.
thirdly, i went to east coast and met up with bryan and the rest. Gosh, i will NEVER FORGET THIS IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE! When i was about to play soccer, and i turned my head, a ball flew and smacked onto my face, and i was caught in a trance for few seconds. i shall not mention name. but yup. even when we played, the same guy almost kicked the ball into my face again. well, i know he didn’t mean it. haha. so it’s okay. still my gd friend!=)
then we cycled to grab hold of dinner. haha.
fourthly, i had an hour plus chat with my team just nw. =) a convicted team
alright, that’s my day, from a bird’s eye view.

i love you, Jesus.
and once again, i just want to say thank you for everything that ya have done in my life.
the converts we saw today, the few marvellous lessons that ya never fail to teach me plus the great friends you have given to me. i love you!
alright, time to slp.

going to zoo with my classtmr.
sowing time! =)

i’m too lazy to check for errors.

finally, after the tormenting and the stupdity of examinations, i’m free!
i hereby declare, that o levels are gone! GONE!
in the bilnk of an eye, it just sliped past me. =)
God, thank you!

i have this buring desire to make a post. =)
ever before the start of my exams, the brother’s ministry in far north west have grown tremendously.
not only have we grown numerically, but we have also grown in our walk with God. =) claps! hahaha
alright, so the question is this, how did we do it?

alright, i shall just share one principle my team and i discussed today.
the worship and prayer life of a leader, will determine the capacity of the group ability to grow, =) yuppees!

haha. i shall update myself with some current world happenings! shall read news now

this blog has been silent for many days.
too many days, that it cannot be counted.
so silent, yet still beating.
so white, but yet so plain.

it doesn’t matter to me, about what you think.
it doens’t matter to me, about how you feel.
it doesn’t matter to me, about how you smile.
it dosen’t matter to me, about how you frown.
it doesn’t matter to me, about the sadness in your face.
it doesn’t matter to me, about the tears that well up behind yours lids.
so it doesn’t matter anymore.

what really matters is the smile on his face, not mine.
it’s about his expectation, not mine.
he wants my best, not aces.

thank you for reminding me.
it’s you that i’m running after, not grades.

this examination have opened up my eyes.
i have seen the dark side of human.
sometimes, people just get so caught up in pursuing their aces, that they have forgotten about the friendship with God and man.
can i live in a world of utopia.

however, this only leads me to a conculsion.
david, it’s not about getting the grades that people expect from you, but it’s about a smile on his face.
he wants your best.
it’s not a fight, but a test of character.
it’s not a battle, but a paper.
it’s not the glory, but the smile.

10 papers left for this coming wk.
shower me with your prayers, as i take this test of character.
i love you, jesus.

davidhoe!

with great amount of force, i pushed my eye lids, i turned to the side of my bed and i pressed the button.
i told myself that it would be another five minutes, however, the past repeated itself.
i woke up at the loudness of the ring tone, and it was Jerld. In dilemma, i stretched my head off the head, and it was unpleasantly surprsing to realize that it was five minutes to ten. we were suposed to meet at half past nine in the morning.
In a fluster, i hopped out of my bed, as it there was a spring, and dashed to the bathroom. I took a quick but clean shower. Then i landed in s11 at half past ten. I was determined to completed a chapter of social studies (half), and i was glad that i did it. We headed for believers’ gathering. It was flooded with many people. yup.
As the time drew neaer for service to commence, my heart was racing. For the past few weeks, though we had experienced the faithfulness of God through converts, but we have not broke the 20 mark. To make matters worse, our confirmation dropped by a four from thursday to friday. So we were about 18, and miraculousy, we hitted 23/22 for service today, with two converts. Praise the faithfulness of his.
All in all, i would like to comment on the faithfulness of God and his grace. Thaank you, jesus.
we are on our way to 30 then 50! yups.
i love my team of leaders.
and my friends too.
davidhoe!

As far as the skies stretch, so will that be the extend of your love.
Glanced through those tinted glasses, we see torrents of emotions, smashing on oneself.
His eyes gleamed with fear, hands filled with perspiration and a heart that is broken.
Uncertainty, would be the best word to resemble him.
Amidst all these tramatic stress, he stills visit the faithful austere room.
In this room, there is 180 degrees turn of emotions.

Dear God,
Over a span of two days, i have been convicted by a truth.
In your word, David asked you to strengthen him according to your word.
It caught my attention and challenged my mentality.
David did not asked you to strengthen him according to the wonders your can create.
But simply, according to your word.
Your word paints a clear picture of who you are.
That simple truth had taken me aback.
I was flabbergasted.
Father, i just want to take sometime to thank you for being faithful to this ministry, though at many times, i felt unworthy, but your word has strengthen me. Thank you for bringing us to 22 brothers. Joel and i counted during shpding, that this unit started with abt 10 guys. In a span of one month plus, we are 22. Amazing!
Also, i want to thank you for your faithfulness towards me.
i love you.
Thanks for giving me a great team of leaders. Joel, Sathya and Sherman.
Through the crest and troughs, we will keep faith.
We will lead with word centred spirit.
A HEART LIKE DAVID, A ZEAL LIKE PAUL AND A FAMILY LIKE ACTS.
30 people! here we come!
run into your arms!

davidhoe.
i’m tired.
