Hello again!

It's been more than three months since i've updated here.

Well, nothing drastic has happened in the past three months, except that my church moved to a new place, coincidentally my workplace moved to a new office location as well. AND coincidentally my job scope changed as i transfer to another department, AND i officially settle into the youth ministry in church again after four years.

So, nothing much happened besides those.

To cut a long story short, i'm beginning to serve in church as a cell leader again. I am very thankful and happy about this...  Thank God for bringing me back to the youth ministry and opening doors for me to serve Him!

My dear Isbrana, i'm so touched by the comments you leave here, i guess you are the only one who reads my xanga... heehee. I missed you! Hope to catch up with you in chat or here soon. I've not logged into chatrooms for many months... and even if i do get the chance i stay for a while.

I missed the other xanga friends too... love reading your updates, so do update more!

That's about it for now, once again, if you happen to surf by, do visit my "more updated" blog at http://tabletofmyheart.livejournal.com

Hi all, just updating to let Xanga friends know that i am still alive.

Things have been going well for the most part here. Really thankful to God for some of the chances He gave for us to witness to non-believers.

A friend is facing some serious spiritual problems at home - real demons and stuff.. she's a non-believer and has approached us to help. She has in fact tried all sorts of "gods" (in Chinese cultural, there are countless "gods") but to no avail. I really want to thank God that our church pastor is willing to help... pastor and wife will be meeting them this weekend to explain salvation to them, and how only Jesus can set them free from all these bondages and spirits... praise God for this witness opportunity!!  It's really our hope that this couple will receive Christ into their lives.

Other than such things, well i'm still busy with work... enjoying most of it. Will be transferring to another dept at the workplace soon. Looking forward to it with fingers crossed

Family-wise, well mom had an ankle fracture a few months ago, and is healed now though not fully. She is walking about fine though. I was initially scheduled to be in the Philippines for a month, but due to her sudden accident the plans were cancelled. Well...if God willing, doors will be open again.

Hmmm.. nothing much exciting going on. I've been very very absent from cafejesus or chiens... most obvious reason is the time difference - when i'm at work, i can't chat and that's when everyone else's chatting..hehe. Otherwise i'm on MSN or Skype..

How about you all? I miss hearing your stories... i update frequently in http://www.livejournal.com/users/tabletofmyheart/ 

You may or may not know me personally... or perhaps just chatted with me in the past, that's why i'm in your Xanga list.. well, i do read your updates now and then! So do keep writing your exciting stories... i enjoy reading them much.

God bless and see ya!

Hello my Xanga friends!

How're all of you? :) Things are going good here. Work is escalating to a fever pitch due to our annual 30 Hour Famine Campaign, but i'm really enjoying work like never before. This year, i've had many chances to try new ideas, work in new areas and expand creativity. Thank God for the chances. :)

Changes really hurt, eh? Our dear boss announced his resignation a few days ago at our staff meeting. Although it's for a good purpose and he's leaving to another country office, i can't help but feel extremely sad. He is like a father to me... the little ways he showed his care for each of us, treating us not like employees but his daughters. :.( Some of us were holding back tears when he announced... i guess it's weird eh? To feel this way about a boss. But he's more than a boss to me.. i wish him all the best and God's love. He is someone who has mentored me and many others spiritually, in more ways than he know. I really thank God for him in our lives...

Jesus...

What comes to your mind right after you hear this name?

I think i'm influenced by the portraits of Jesus that we see around. Many drew him as a man with huge, sad eyes and shoulder length brown hair. Most pictures showed him to be of average built. Once in a while you come across a picture where the artist has chosen to make Jesus look well built, muscular.

I wish cameras / video exist in the days of Jesus. Then at least we will all be able to see what he looked like... as a human. Not that this is really important... but it would be so lovely to have his face in my mind's eye...

I thought that i should at least write something here and stop neglecting this blog.

Things have been moving rather strangely over here in kristyland. Suffice to say that all in all God has been really merciful. I really don't deserve it. Believe me when i say that, you have no idea how evil i really am.

Sometimes, it disturbs me when people tell me that i am a nice girl, a good Christian girl...etc. Because i know i'm not. When once in a while someone gives such high praise i never know the appropriate response. I did toy with the idea of exposing all my hidden wickedness to the person, but oh well... suppose that would frighten the daylights out of him/her.

So to stop people from saying these things about me, i've resorted to giving very direct and honest answers during conversations. For instance, someone asks a question, "Do you trust God?" I can say with sincerity, "I try to. But i can't say that i do all the time." BOOM! Immediately everyone starts wondering if im still attending church, reading my bible, praying...etc.

In my church group, whenever i let my guard down and say whatever's on my mind, i can see a veil coming over the other's eyes. Nobody can accept the unchristian, evil side of kristy. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't bother me a bit. It's just something that happens in almost every church group i've attended.

Anyway, that's just some random thoughts i have today.
