Checking In

A minister passing through his church
in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
and see who had come to pray.

Just then the back door opened,
a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw
the man hadn't shaved in a while.

His shirt was kinda shabby
and his coat was worn and frayed,
the man knelt, he bowed his head,
Then rose and walked away.

In the days that followed,
each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap

Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him,
"What are you doing here?"

The old man said, he worked down the road.
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and power.

"I stay only moments, see,
because the factory is so far away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is kinda what I say:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM
CHECKING IN TODAY."

The minister feeling foolish,
told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray just anytime.

Time to go, Jim smiled, said "Thanks."
He hurried to the door.
The minister knelt at the altar,
he'd never done it before.

His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
and met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,
he repeated old Jim's prayer:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT ITHINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY."

Past noon one day, the minister noticed
that old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without Jim,
he began to worry some.

At the factory, he asked about him,
learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he'd given them a thrill.

The week that Jim was with them,
Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagious.
Changed people, were his reward.

The head nurse couldn't understand
why Jim was so glad,
when no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.

The minister stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends came to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.

Looking surprised, old Jim spoke
up and with a winsome smile;
"the nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
that in here all the while everyday at noon

He's here, a dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down, takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP,
AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY,
AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS
CHECKING IN TODAY."

... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:23-24

i felt rejected and sad this few days. i ask sis, and she put it across to me that i shouldnt feel sad cause i done what i should do. and if i didnt do what i should do, then i should feel sad.
whatever the case is, leave it to God.

IT'S EASTER SUNDAY!!! ((:

Oh, keyboard lesson was confirmed today. and and the timing that gave me was GREAT! was it's not wednesday after school, but rather it's saturday morning. though, i have to wake up early and stuff. hahaahhaa.

OH!!!! i signed up for keyboard's lesson!! ((: i signed up at believer music. waiting for the payment to be successful. so that they can tell me which slot they put me into. i chose wednesday after school and saturday morning.

actually i wasnt really a music person. i learn it when i was really really young. and i stop learning. only sis continue the lesson. and the reason that i wanted to learn again was that when i was going to church with sis, sis took a pamphlet from a person. the pamphlet stated "Make Worship Your Highest Call." ((: so, i decided to learn keyboard lo. and somemore it's only 2 and a half months.

so, thank God. ((:

Thank You for the cross Lord
Thank You for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank You for this love Lord
Thank You for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crown
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

so, being at samsung service centre. which i also want to thank God that samsung was in century square. cause other service centre is like very far away la. so.. joycelyn ask for her charger to be change. and yes, it's a one to one exchange. hahaha. and then i have my phone asked. so, the problem that my phone have is that i always recieve broken msg. which is very very very very irritating. i'll get a broken msg when if a singtel user sent a 2 or more long msg to my phone. i will only get to read the first page. and the person say that it's the software problem in my phone. and she say that she will upgrade my phone's software. and it will be around 3-4hours.

i did mention that my phone got hang for no reason. and actually i wanted to tell the person. then i didnt mention to her. as i were passing the phone to her, my phone got hang again. and the person saw the hang phone. so, she offered to service my phone. and she being kind and observant. she saw the side of my phone the silver colour paint is peeling. so she also offered to service the paint peeling thingy. and she say that the whole service will last 5-7days!! i nearly faint infront of her. hahahah. days eh! not hours!!

but anyway, my phone is under FULL warranty. so sent all i can, and make use of the warranty. ((: and im using another phone while my phone is under service. oh wells, my phone under service will be out nice and pretty. ((:

and i really want to thank God for joycelyn, for her bringing her charger to change at samsung. or else, i dont think i'll sent my phone for service. hee hee. ((:

annyong ha sae yo,

RESULTS ARE OUT!!!
got back my results today morning. i stayed up late, just to wait for my results. hahahha. results out at 12.45am instead of 6am. and and and, most of my classmates were online can. all waiting for the results to be out. all so kan chiong.

results this semester is good. i did better than last semester. it's God grace. ((: i didnt expect much this semester. but but, God is faithful. He helped me, guide me through the exams, give me displine to study and many many more. all i can say that He helped me in ALL my modules.

the first module that i really really really really want to thank God for is Engineering Science. im not a science person. and i just pass my class test. and when i went for the exam, i did all the questions. and then i found out that there's some mistake that i did wrongly. and that question is that if made one mistake, the whole answer will be wrong. and i think there's alot of mistake la. then, i was super worried, cause i dont want to stay back another semester to re-take that module. i got a B! see, it's God's grace.. ((:

the second module that i really really really really want to thank God for is french language 1. firstly, cause i dont like the language. and secondly, i dont like the lecturer. hahhhahaha. we have this listening test, and i really really bad at it. i just pass the listening test. and the role play... i not too very sure. and the class test, i dont know how to do. after the exam, i was super worried can. i dont want to stay back another semester to complete another comprementry studies. i got a C! OH YA, i submit the opt-out form to the office. and if im able or not able to opt-out of french language, it's God's will. ((: all Glory to God.

the third module that i really really really really want to thank God for is Analog Electronics Project. though it's a pass or fail module. and many people say that the lecturer rarely will fail students, unless the student didnt do the project or something. i want to thank God that i pass the module, cause my project didnt work as it should be working. and the lecturer say that he will check and then see if he will pass or fail us. i was super scared can. i pass la. ((: thank God, thank God.

the fourth module that i really really really really want to thank God for is Communication Skills 1. communication skill is mostly assignment based. we have 2 presentations and 1 exam for this module. so, God have been helping me throughout la. from the assignment part to the presentations to the examination. God have been with me through my presentations. during my presentation He put words into my mouth, of what i should say. and He took away the fear that i've. i got an A!! ((: it's God's grace la.

the other four modules is my core modules. i also want to thank God for... Engineering Math (i got an A), Electrical Principles (i got an A), Analog Electronics (i got an A), Computer & Programming 1 (i got a B+). all these i want to thank God because these modules have common test and final examination. and God have been through with me. the times when i really want to give up, and not to study for the modules. He gave me a heart of displine. the times when i really tired and weary, He gave me rest. the times when im really scared and nervous before and after exam, He took away my fear and gave me peace. ((: all to Him.

all the grades that i gotten, it's not by me. but it's by Him. He who make these grades possible. ((: all Glory to You!!

annyong ha sae yo,

till now im still amazed how God work, even in small ways. after meeting joycelyn, i have to buy this milk (in liquid form) for my grandmother. which only can be brought from the NTUC near my house. i tried to find it at the interchange and cheers, they didnt sell it.

i went to take bus 69, which is the nearest to the NTUC. and it suddenly rain heavily can. it's like super heavily. even im in the shade i still get myself wet, it's that heavy. so i went to the longest route to the NTUC without getting myself wet.

after buying the milk. i dont want to walk to the front gate, partly cause it was far and it is raining. so i walked to the side gate, which apparently i dont have the card to open the gate. cause i lost it last year. and i dont want to walk to the front gate. so all i can do was to wait, wait for people to come out or for people to go in.

when im on my way to the side gate, i prayed a very very very very short prayer. asking God for people to go out or to go in through the side gate. so i cross the road, and standing at the gate there, waiting. and no one. it was super quiet. and then i have this strong feeling to open the gate. and i was thinking, how to open the gate, where i dont have the card. and the gate was repaired. i tried twice, and twice the gate was locked, there's no way i can open the gate. but still, the strong feeling was there, it got stronger. so i went up, and pull the gate. TADAHHHHHH!!! it OPEN!! seriously, the gate wasnt lock.

thank God, thank God. ((:

im still amazed. hahahhahaha...
