"got purpose one"

really leh. everything, everywhere hor, got purpose one...

i seem to be repeating that quite so often this week.
and aptly so i guess.

really such a blessed week! thank You God.
for each and every new CFer! they are really Your answered prayers to us.. and they are each gifts!
Thank You! for Josh Chui, Ronald, Emily (my junior!!!), Shu Fen and Yee Suan!
If you guys somehow happen to read this, the fact you came.. is got purpose one!

And, i'm pretty thankful, that God granted Addi and I such great resonance! God... it isn't that we intend to pray, or our prayers... I'm sure it is You who will be in each prayer meeting / stE / prayer walk. God, You are the awesome, amazing God.
... is go purpose one!

God... thank You, too for the opportunity. it has been three years.KY is in Your hands, God. and even SF, DN, FZ, KM. God, You hear my heart, Lord. i long to see what You have in store for these bros.

And even this morning to church. we were fetched to church by this christian cabby...
and his testimony is such a powerful, well, testimony to Him.
This cabby, though not eloquent in speech, is the kind of Christian man... he was once a hairstylist, lived pretty much quite a lifestyle which was, well, 'cool'. smoking playboy kinda thing... but it wrecked him badly. and somehow, he lost that job. so.. he began searching. for a job. But also for something or someOne more....
He was at such a down point in his life that he sorta gave a 'challenge' to whoever it was on top... he just knew there was this big boss up there, just someone. could it be Buddha? Jesus? etc. He just knew there was this God, supreme being out there...
and so he began to say, whatever, however a job he gets, the first person to help him, he will believe in what god that person believes in.
and so happens, as he kept looking, there was an application for a storeman job. At a church.
So he spent the whole morning and afternoon calling the number. But no answer. Just beeps.
He was really pissed off, and he began to be desperate, and kept saying to himself regarding the "believe whoever comes first" theory...
and he dialled again. there finally was an answer. and it wasn't the wrong number either! ;P
The person who answered was the church secretary. And she realised that she put down the fax no. on the ad. And this guy got the right number... amazing hor?
To cut the story short, one yr into this job, but still not a christian, he just threw his cigarettes away. Without even knowing it consciously. Three years into the job, he accepted Him. and cleared out his idols.

and it was so, like we got this cabby, two weeks into this new job, and he was sharing and quoting verses! and ultimately how Christ is so much his joy and love. He being a cabby, is got purpose one... he say he 'kar kar' share to all his passengers. nthn to lose anyway. and his sharing really touched us on the ride to church.

This is how a christian looks like man.
Really puts me to shame. And more often than not, we expect christians to be the upper middle class people spouting all the God-jargon and laughing with such sophisticated laughter at our upper class calibre and status. Or even forming committees to find out how to evangelise and go for talks and courses on how to reach the world. Not forgetting the note-taking, and the cynical criticism that follows each meeting. And, of course, speaking in good english, having proper jobs, dressing properly and to fit in, you must fit in to us.

Of course, such a paragraph is naiively superficial and sees such exteriors. but it was really a reminder for me. That wherever we are, it really is to seize each oppurtunity, and know.. is got purpose one.

But there are times (like now), where when we really can't understand, really don’t see His plan or trace His hand, must really... trust his heart.
There has to be a purpose at such times. When it's absolutlely bewildering. I trust You, God. I trust that You take care of this... dear friend of mine.

got purpose one.

so what is that purpose?

He alone is faithful and true.
He reigns... with wisdom, power & might.
When the darkness closes in
I will still say,

Blessed Be Your Name.
Our God is the Awesome God.
