Praise God for GCYC!

Gateway Cities Youth Convention...though I'm not that old (only 25), but youth convention sounds abit kiddy for me. Well, there's no more Youth Day holiday for me since I'm in poly mah. Haha.. Therefore, I often associate youth with secondary school people. But by divine intervention, I was there for the convention and I must thank God for it.

1st night on 16th Aug: I remembered asking God how to praise Him in the mist of my mess at home & work. Was discouraged, more than just PMS. Nevertheless, I'm glad to be with my Chinese sisters. Seeing them touched in that 1st night. The vision 1 of them saw was an affirmation to the prompting I had regarding gift choices for them. Hallelujah~ The vision is great & I know it's true. Praise the Lord!
.
2nd night: I was still struggling to focus on Him & therefore impatient with even little things. Ultimately I knew nothing can be done if I don't reconcile with the one I should. Asked God for strength to do so, because if I do, it will not be just FiOne doing it but God within her. FiOne will NOT want to do such a silly thing in the eyes of the world. But my God is God of reconciliation and I want to imitate Him. I want to please God.

So with that little prayer that I'll take the 1st step to talk to dad, God answered on the same night when I reached home! Basically I didn't even do anything to initiate communication!!! Dad came to me instead and prepared the things that I don't fancy doing. With that, we're settled (at least in my heart). Tonight, 1st thing he said to me when I reached home after the convention "There's durian". Yummy, was abit hungry as I didn't eat much dinner due to tiredness. Hmm... my family's common language of love is to ask one another to eat. So, yup, that's how I know I'm loved by them.

3rd day: It was eye-opener for me to see what's God doing in the nations around Singapore! My heart had been zoomed in only to China all these years & it didn't matter to me what happen anywhere else. God's also doing MIGHTY works in the lands of our neighbours! Praise God! But as China (Beijing/Shanghai/Lanzhou) is presented, I felt God's reminder so strongly that I prayed I'll surrender to His will.

Tough, my tears rolled...
Tempted, my heart ravelled...
Thank-giving, my soul released...

For I shall not forget the God of my salvation, the Lord of ALL & the destiny He has given to me.

Praise God for answering my prayers that Ya Nan will be joining me in Chinese service tomorrow!!! Her heart is already opened, just need the final loving push of faith of the Holy Spirit. :)
