Group photo for the first door standing ~ smiling usherers feature the sunshine~

Shake ar Shake ar! Shake the visitor's hand noh..~ ar noh ar noh~

Before this picture, we prayed for the ushering for today so that it will be smooth one..

Genesis 41:52 - The second son he named Ephraim (sounds like the Hebrew for twice fruitful)and said, "It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."

Life about Joseph suffering for 13 years before he become the prime minister of Egypt. Joseph has suffered long enough. But one thing for sure in his heart, he never give up on God and trust God that sooner or later he will be set free and end his suffering.

The thing that i want to share are regarding the mission trip to Kampar and ushering during Sunday Service at HOG Serdang. Again, this time UPTEN unit have went there to support them. Although it may be seems like suffering to us, but actually this is a fruit to all of us. It is a blessing from the Lord when we started to serve Him. Fearing the Lord is the start of wisdom. We must know how to seek His face and receive God’s anointing time to time; ponder to the Lord and He slowly will build up the His people with the character of God’s people that living in Christ. =)

Feb 14 - A Scent Of Love

My Journey Of Love

1. My Wedding Day

    She felt inferior and told me she's just an ordinary woman. I assured her that she's different and totally special as compared to other women, that she's like lily among thorns. (2:2-3) She was yearning my presence with her. The commitment to each other without fear of deceit, manipulation and exploitation is the basis of our genuine love towards each other. (1:7) Oh, how I longed to see her...

2. Memories of Courtship

   Never have I seen such a beautiful woman. She was attending the vineyard, and so, I disguised myself as a shepherd to get to know her. Before I knew, our relationship grown and I decided to take her as my wife. My beloved, I will never let problems, conflicts and ravages of time to deter us from enjoying our love relationship, the gift from God (2:12, 13). I will remove everything that could potentially cause problems between us (2:15)

3. Memories of Engagement

    Today, I returned to her in the splendor of a king, to express my how much I love her and propose to her. (3:6-4:15) She accepted. (4:16) I knew it is awkward for the ones who will read my letter, but I continue to praise my beloved with beautiful imagery, for I know how vital it is for me to express my admiration towards her, both words and action to enhance the marriage. (4:1-7) She's like a private garden and a fountain of my own, for which man will be willing to share his beloved with others? I appreciated and praised her virginity (4:12) My love for her is refreshed, for she'd been a well of living water. I will refresh her as well, so that our love for each other will not dim (4:15)

4. A Troubling Dream

    It is inevitable that as time passed and familiarity grew, we lose the initial sparkle for each other. I'll learn to be a haven for her, renewing and refreshing our intimacy and passion. My beloved, let us focus on the positives, reconciliation and renewal. (5:2-8) Do not hesitate to come to me, although we're now apart (5:6-8). She's my love, my friend. Remember how we develop our friendship that made our love for each other deeper and far more satisfying. (5:16) Please come back to me like you've used to be...

5. Praising the Bride's Beauty

    My beloved, my love for you had not diminished since our wedding night. Although many other women are available to me, I will still choose her. (6:8-9) I am as excited as I was before, for every kiss from her, refreshes me (7:9)

6. The Bride's Tender Appeal

    My beloved, in me you're secured to express your love for me, even if you initiate in lovemaking. The security of true love that I give to her and she have in me, gives us the freedom to initiate acts of love and express our true feelings. (7:10-11) How grateful I am, that she would want to show her affection to me even in public, to show how much she loves me. I too, will do the same (8:1)

7. The Power of Love

    My beloved, I'll accept your love as a gift from God. May my love for you reflects the perfect love that come from God Himself, love as strong as death and priceless, given freely to you. (8:6-7) How grateful I am to marry a woman, who knows how to control herself from sexual temptation, for I am assured, if she had been persistent in her morality before marriage, I will have nothing to worry about after marriage. (8:8-9) She doesn't keep private property for herself, for there is trust and security in our love for each other (8:11-12) This is how we love and commit to each other, reflecting God's love for us...

Extraction from the book of Song of Songs, "Life Application Study Bible"

To all those who haven't have a love relationship, do not rush into relationship or marriage before you're ready to have such a commitment (2:7, 3:5, 8:4) If you're already in a love relationship or married, congratulations! You have a guideline from the man of God, to enhance your love relationship. God bless =)

A Touch of Love

When doing caroling with the Myanmarmese

Halo~ During the Christmas Eve, our church are slightly did some different way of doing caroling compare to the previous Christmas. We did our Christmas caroling at those Myanmarmese hostel and a HIV centre. During that moment we visited them, we can feel their joy within them and can see their eyes were filled with tears. This is because of the love we shared towards them so that they won't feel lonesome anymore. After conducted this Christmas caroling we learned that basically there are plenty of people in this world are longing us to share our love of God to them. Hence, lets us don't be a selfish person who only know how to receive but lets us be a person who willing to give and lets us don't practice it only during Christmas but practice it in our daily lives. Before i end, i have some verses which help us recall us back what Jesus had taught us.

JOHN 13: 34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

The 5 monkeys HUhuHU~

Below are the Christmas song presented by the Myanmarmese:
