Muddy, wet and FUSTRATING experience
 
Today, i had my zone finals for soccer..and i didn't expect my team to lose. I was very very very disappointed. I thought i was at least going to score a few goals...but no one in my team scored..Under 14 girls..are not that good, but they are also not that bad. I underestimated them. I played like CRAP today. I don't know why..i reckon God just wanted me to lose for a reason..maybe it's too tell me that i'm not the best around..(i'm not anyway)..i seriously don't know why God let my team lose..we didn't play badly..just couldn't convert the built up. Gabrielle was kinda sad i guess..luckily Aisha was there to lighten up the mood. If you know what i mean=)
 
I'm sure God has a reason to let my team lose. But just that now i don't really know what the reason is. Hm.. I did  my devotion today..and it was about building others up instead of tearing them down. I think it was a very very good message for me. I sometimes talk badly about people, when i do that, i feel like i shouldn't be..but still i do it. Like today, the Ref in the game was crap..like..big time crappy. There were so many handballs in the opponents' team and it was just...fustrating. My whole team wanted to tell him off in the face. I said that he was a crap ref and that he was an idiot in front of my friends...i think i shouldn't have done that. I should learn how to look on the positive side of a person.
 
Thankfully there was even a ref there..if not i think it would've been a really rough game.lol..i don't wanna die becuz of soccer..=P
 
Anyway, we can try again next year=) I don't think we'll win for Indoor soccer this time..but, next year we can win for soccer. I hope=) I thank God for the fun time he gave me though. It was a muddy...erm..wet and fustrating experience...lol..
 
God Bless ya

The Tree
 
I've just done my devotion. My memory verse for today was:
 
"My job was to plant it, apollo watered it, but God was the one who made it grow."
Corinthians 3:6
 
It was something like that..haven't really memorised it yet.=P
The tree is meant to be a non-christian. If, for example, 2 christians are trying to get a non-christian to recieve christ into their lives. The credit doesn't go to either of them. Instead, the credit goes to God. We, christians can just plant it...water it all day long..but it may not grow. Only with God's help, it will grow. Only with God's help, a non-christian can accept God.

I was just thinking..i don't even HAVE the guts to tell my friends about God..let alone claim any credit. Like I said, God's main mission is to get more people to know him. But i don't see myself doing anything about it. I'm only trying to get one buddhist to God right now..i wish God would just soften her heart and let God touch her. I pray that God will just give me the courage to do his ministry and whatever he has planned for me.. 

I bet some of you won't know what i'm talking about. But, i hope God will either tell you through me or through someone else..sigh* I want all the christians reading this to ask themselves.." What does Jesus mean to me?" Your answer SHOULD tell you whether you're a real christian or not.
 
Today's post is really really tedious and chim, but i just felt like writing it out. That's all=P
 
GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

Yo peeps!
 
I haven't wrote a post for quite a long time, so i'll write what happened this past week. Anyway, Quite a lot of things happened.
 
On Sunday, i scored my THIRD GOAL of the year! Isn't that just "great"?! THIRD! THAT MEANS THREE GOALS IN ONE SEASON. But the third goal that i scored was like..the match winner. But i'm not very happy, cuz that goal was the ONLY goal in the game. A match bwt my team and hieldelberg, the team on the bottom of table. Anyway, my team was suppose to thrash them like we did against Whittlesea(i scored my 1st and 2nd goal against them. I'm probably not going to score more as i've just got ANOTHER injury...
 
The whole cohord of year 8s went to Science Works yesterday. It was really fun..not VERY educational like Science Centre in Singapore. Science centre is like..more educational..more words to read and still fun.. Science Works is just play play and PLAY! Don't really learn much. You'll only learn from the Planetarium and the workshops the hold. But i reckon Science Centre's Omni theatre is still much better. Better graphics and more interesting=) Man..i really miss the singapore science centre=( *sigh
 
Anyway..when i went to do the standing broad jump. I almost fell back, so i jumped forward..and in that process, i sprained my knee. It wasn't really THAT bad when it was a fresh injury. At least..i thought it's only sprained.. I woke up at 4.30am this morning in PAIN! My knee was like..aching TO THE MAX! It was sooo pain i couldn't even go back to sleep.. In the morning, i woke up at exactly 6.40. I tried to get out of my bed, but i realised that when i moved my knee joint..or moved my leg..it hurt soooo bad..
 
Now's 1.43pm, as u guys noe, i obviously didn't go to school..AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION..I AM NOT WAGGING..Fortunately, there isn't soccer training tonite..there's team photo taking instead=) I must learn how to SMILE properly..=) haha..alrite, i'm talking crap RITE NOW..-.-
 
God Bless EVERYONE!

Yoz

Yesterday i had indoor soccer for sport. At least..it was SUPPOSED to be INDOOR soccer..but it ended up being outdoor. Cuz there was only one indoor soccer court. So now my group is THE group suffering out in the cold for the next FIVE weeks..great-.- Anyway, me and Aisha were like the only girls there yesterday. Gabrielle was at tennis, Hannah doing the role and Tessa..BLUDGING..-.- But Bruce came later and left a little earlier, cuz someone kicked the ball into her face and she had a blood nose..OUCH..Hope she's feeling 100% now=P

I just got scolded by my mum becuz i was wasting too much water washing the dishes..great..that shows how "smart" i really am.. Nvm, next time, i shall wash the plates till it's sparkling clean with using LESS WATER THAN MY MUM USES..just wait and see..grr.

Nowadays, Betty, Bruce and Aisha have been coming up with WIERD GAMES..and i mean literally wierd. It's like u shake a pen and pass it on while singing an Itlian song.. When they asked me to play..i was like "o..k,"=.- Anyway, i played and..yea, um..I guess..it was like 50% fun..i think...um..yea, i think.=.-

I was like looking at my pictures that i look in China at the end of grade six(pri 6). I was like.."AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I DON'T NOE THAT PERSON! Guess why..i think those that noe me for a long time..should noe why..-.-do they? I was like..soooo FAT! ok..fine..chubby-.- Anyway, i'm still overweight now..i think, but i think i was seriously FAT looking at my pictures in the past...
Then i carried on to look at the pictures i took in Cambodia. It was like..half or 2003, about a year ago. I was..like..4 times less fat (can't say slimmer, cuz im not), then when i was in china. I was like..-.- I realised that it was becuz of my TENNIS..like duh..i mean, i had to work out like..vigorously. 3 tennis sessions a week after school..DEAD BEAT after every training. Mr Chew(the coach) even wanted me to stay for FOUR DAYS A WEEk...and my studies were like rock bottom at that time. I didn't have much time to do my homework and play soccer with my soccer mates..Thank God that i moved to australia and escaped that...sian sian sian, nowadays i can't seem to get the vocabulary i NEED!..what's the word for very..um..vigorous exercise..-.-MY ENGLISH IS CRAP!

Anyway, i think my tennis training was really really keeping me fit. When i stopped training i start to gain weight..(arggghh)..i still train for soccer..but not under the HOT HOT! HOT!!!!! Sun. In singapore i was like literally getting blacker and blacker and blacker and blacker..getting tanned every training session. But, i wonder why i didn't get any sun burns..hehe(>.<)God protected me i guess=)I remember not having enough PE shirts..eeeeek=P haha..

Am i talking a lot about tennis?..NOOOOOOOO i don't wanna be a tennis freak like BRUCE! SAVE ME!!!! okok, i better stop here..*beep*

God BLESS EVERYONE!

I'm BACK!

Hey guys! I'm back from a wonderful, amazing camp!!! I've learned like sooooo much. I'm wondering how i'm gonna write like..so many things..ok..um..

On Monday, the first day of the camp, i wan't really enjoying myself. I wasn't really giving my ALL to worship and singing Almost empty words..But i was starting to open up my heart to God by night time. Paul Rayside the pastor was teaching about spiritual gifts. They were gifts given by God and used not only for ourselves, but for helping others as well.

The way the youths worshipped kinda touched me deeply. They were just giving their all to God without caring about what others around them would think. The fact that they give their hearts to God during worship, i believe, makes God really really happy and i really want to, one day, give my heart TOTALLY to worshipping God. Now, there are still some stuff holding me back from giving my ALL. But i'll continue to pray that God will take all the barriers away.

There were some of the youths that prayed for the gift of JOY. God filled them with his spirit and they were just filled with awesome joy. They were so happy that they uncontrolably wept and laughed..it was so touching, almost made me cry. Then there were youths with Visions and words from God. One of the girls decided to stay back after worhip to worship God somemore. She said God gave her a vision, that he was standing in the midst of the hall and walked to her to hug her. There were non-christians there that was so touched by what they were seeing that they became christians. Others also had words from God, like God was very happy with our worship and he wanted us to continue giving our all.

There were many others. But i think God told me something through a worship leader.
I was expecting God to give me a vision like he did to other people or give me the gift of tongues. Or just make me feel like he is in me. But the one of the worship leaders that was a woman told the whole group of us that she felt God telling her that some of us in the room are expecting a strong breeze to just blow us away. It means expecting something big from God to happen to us. But then she continued to say that, God says that you don't have to expect a huge strong breeze. Just take notice of the small feelings that God gives. It doesn't have to be a huge strong breeze. Cuz a strong breeze or a small breeze..it's still a breeze and is of God. So..yup, i was kinda touched when i heard that=)

God also made my camp kinda fun as in like playing fun. Cuz God gave me quite a lot of new friends and one friend that was quite like my camp buddy. Cuz she and i would go and play soccer with some Asian boys, Most of them were Chinese. It was really fun, cuz the boys thought i was like a crappy player. So when i got the ball i was like dribbling through a few of them and yay, i scored ..lol. They were like WHAO..haha. Boys..they are all the same..Girls can be as good as them or better and they just think that girls are ALL crappy -.- hate that. So, i really thank God for the fun he gave me as well.

One of the main things that impacted me quite a lot was The Mission. Before Jesus went into Heaven again..he said these words:

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth."

Acts 1:8

Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth is like saying Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and to other places on the earth. Get the drift? so..yea, i think God's purpose in many of our lives is just to spread the Gospel and tell the unreached about Jesus's amazing love. There are soooo many unreached people groups and REALLY NOT ENOUGH missionaries. People who haven't heard about Jesus are dying this second and they may go to hell just like that...

Anyway, i thank God for the camp. He has really open up windows in my life and a new prospective in life in that sense.

God Bless EVERYONE
Jerusha/Jerry/Sha/Chick/..wadeva u guys meanly call me

ps. Sorry for the seriousness, but read it seriously!

Camp..i don't noe whether to be happy or sad

I'm going to go to a youth camp for the next week. So i won't be writing any post for the next one week. Pls don't miss my publishings..i noe you will die without reading my posts..but, still, don't worry, i'll be back one piece in one week=)(i hope)

Yea, i'm leaving tomorrow for the church youth camp. I wish i was back in singapore saying this=/ I wanted to go for the CCS youth camp so bad..=( But now i'm going to Crossway's youth camp..250 youths going..great. I'm not afraid of youths getting slained or people speaking in tongues. I just wonder if i'll have a good time there. I mean..i don't even know anyone there..AND I HATE CAMP BATHS AND CAMP CANTEENS AND CAMP BEDS! I just hate all of it. I just like the games, adventure, worship and sermons..erm..yea..in this camp i think i'll treasure the sermons=) People, PLS PRAY FOR ME!To make new friends there, OR AT LEAST, Survive the whole week without getting homesick.

I mean, if it was a school camp..i won't get homesick cuz my friends are there. I feel like i'm going to the first day of school(aussie school) again..challenging challenge of making new friends AGAIn...maybe i won't make any new good friends. But normal friends=) I mean, nothing can beat my friends in Singapore=P..er..i think. I feel like im on the verge of talking crap..=X

When i did my devotion today, what God told me was to Trust in Him. And that's exactly what i'm going to do. If God wants me to do something, i believe he'll make it all good for me. Especially for a youth camp to know him deeper=)So, now, I'm trying to just give it all to God and have confidence that he is with me and I can say "No worries"=P

God Bless all OF U!

I Hate PRICKY PARROTS

NOw's the school hols, so my parents brought my bro, my grandma and i out today! It was quite fun=) First we went to a tiny bird sanctuary. We wanted to go yesterday, but it was raining..so yea..cancelled the trip. Today, however, we bought some bird seeds and fed beautiful red and green parrots. There were Pink and Grey ones..SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL AND CUTE!! BUT..they are the ones that rather eat from the dirty seeded floor than to eat from our hands. Well..it's their loss >.< Anyway, it started out good. I was like taking some seeds from the huge bag and stuck my hand out..then one by one the birds flew on me!

After a while..it got quite bad. My bro and i had some..um..well..quite a lot of scratches on our hands and wrists. The parrots really had SHARP nails. Isaac was explaining a concept of how the parrots' claws can actually rip through the skin on our wrists and burst the blood vessel-.- And the parrots will lick the blood "spurting out"..=.=
ANYWAY, enough of my bro's um.."interesting" parrot concept..

A stupid green coloured parrot shitted on my head. First it landed on my head..and my mum wanted to take a pic of it..i wanted the pic. so i left him there...i was like..la la la..then my mum said there was a small patch of bird poo on my head! GREAT-.- i hate green parrots..i didn't want to feed them after that. I felt like throwing a stone at the bird that pooed on my head..but too bad there were onlookers..ahem. So, that parrot should just count himself..VERY LUCKY..very very very lucky..-.-

yep..that took up most of our time out. I'll write more next time! So do u guys like my new song? I reckon it's really touching for those graduating=)(im far away from tt)

God BLESS EVERY LIVING PERSON READING THIS!
