Hi Siew Choon.

Thanks for replying. It is indeed interesting and exciting to hear from you and what you have to say! I am very glad to know that you are so exciting about things of God and that is indeed very encouraging.

I am grateful to know that you did have prior experience to camps and I suppose your expertise will serve well in this project. Nevertheless time is pressing and deadlines are coming, hence it is crucial for the team to put their acts together.

As for me, on is not exactly the word. Just be passionate. Passion is a very powerful factor. So powerful that it drives people to do things beyond their wildest imagination. Simply the reason why the film of our Lord Savior is Passion, The Christ.

I myself worshipped in New Creation Church. Bible study is on on Friday night and Campus ministry on Saturday evening, while Sunday will be the beloved Sabbath meeting.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with been zealous for things of God because it is that ever living water that keeps us going.

"Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be open onto you... if you ask for a bread, will your father gives you a stone? If you ask for a fish, will your father gives a snake? If your earthly father that's fill with sin knows how to give good gifts to you, what more your heavenly Father in heaven?" - my own paraphrase

Have you tried asking yet? Never restrict God. Since the very MOMENT you received Christ into your life, the Holy Spirit has ever since then gashed into your body, marking you for greatness and understanding. (It's biblical. Show you the reference when we are in contact.) Holy Spirit, been the third trinity of God is there to pour forth revelations and AGAPE (unconditional LOVE) in your life, which brings forth Hope that never ceases.

In that case, I challenge you to ask Daddy God for a hunger for THE WORD and let your spiritual eyes to be open. God obviously meant for you to be in His house but that doesn't mean that God only wants you to receive and be fed in there only!

In every stage in life, there is a particular calling. Now in varsity, the obvious is you are called to study. Learn to prioritise. In the event when school work clashes with services, there must be a way out. Personally if work clashes with Bible Study, I will put my work as priority simply because as a student, I have a right to put my work first. But definitely that is not going to stop me from trusting God for no clashes. However, Sunday services will always have a special place because it is the REST day, the Sabbath. No work is able to take me away from this day. There is still much more to share with you, but we will save it when we meet face to face.

Know that our God is a very practical God. God is not someone airy fairy, that only exist in a religon and Sunday services. Christianity is NOT a religion but a relationship. By accepting Christ means that you accept a new identity and a new, ever lasting relationship.

Enjoy whatever you can and DO NOT WORRY about everything. In short, God just wants to see you happy. He just wants you to be loved by Him endlessly, unceasingly. Enjoy every second of your life simply because it is worth it. Living with Jesus is a stress free and worry free relationship and let not the "calling or purpose" bug you. What is of use the big things in life when you do not even know that Jesus loves you and wants you to be happy.

Think about this. If you have a daughter and you are trying to groom her to be the best whatever you want her to be simply because you love her but in the process your daughter is trying to perfom so hard in order to meet your demands. In the midst of it, the feel of parent-child relationship is lost and she does not dwell in your love even though you really do want her to know that you love her.

That is a very wrong image of God many Christians have. They think that God has call them to do something, big or small. In the midst of discovery, they mistakeningly play God and try to achieve it.

God DO have BIG plans for you Siew Choon, that is because you are precious and unique in His sight. However, if it is His plans, HE WILL SEE TO IT, not you. The very aim of a parent is just hoping their kids to know and enjoy the love they have for them. Exactly or if not double and triple the desires of our Daddy God, wanting to express His love to you.

If you want to love God, enjoy your life first. Thank Him and praise Him for He only has good thoughts and plans for you.

Learn to see the heart of God, as a Father, as a friend, as a lover. Let Him anchor your life and you are in for the road to glory with no returns.

Take care,
You are precious and beloved,
