"The greatest thing in all my life is knowing you"

When we sang this song during the PCLM, many memories just came back to me. I remembered years ago at this "Life in the Spirit" camp.. this preacher was talking about knowing God initimately. He said do not just know the God of the house but to know God himself. Meaning dont just know God because of ministry. At the begining when God appeared to Jacob, Jacob didnt know God. Thus He had to introduce himself as the God of his fathers, Abraham and Isaac. But after Isaac westled with God and had an encounter with him. He knew God personally... and God didnt have to introduce himself... that sermon spoke to me. I responded to God that day and i remembered singing this song "the greatest thing in all my life is knowing you".. is YOU!I made a committment in my relationship with God.

Then when we sang that song again in PCLM, i heard the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit

"Do you recognise me now?"

tears just streamed down my face

God has poured down so much of his love and grace in my life. All these years, he has never failed to guide me, love me, comfort me, direct me, rebuke me, inspire me, believe in me, being so patient with me and shown himself to me. He has been holding on to my hands all these while...

his love and presence just overwhelms me

Yes Lord, I do recognise you now

You are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.

I will not trade you for anything else

I m down with chicken pox and this is the sixth day.. 8 more days to go :D
I had fever on tuesday at the office... so went back at noon.. then after a nap, i discovered a few rashes on my face and body... Bingo! Its chicken pox

I was not feeling too well in the begining... with the fever, the itch, the ache and my rendang trip! I was supposed to go for a $300 rendang trip but with this chicken pox, i have to say goodbye to rendang!

But I thank God for my parents who showed alot of love to me during this period of time... and in a way they also encouraged me spiritually :) I was complaining to my mom that I would miss the trip and why have chicken pox at this time? Then my mom said "Aiya you should thank God that you have it now. Better have it now then have it while you are at the trip. Then you cant come home. wouldnt it be worse?"

Well, i never thought of it that way. Thanks mom!

Thanks for all the smses and well wishes.. i pray that i will make full use of my time now that i m feeling physically better.

Ooh Aaron, Ting, Keith and Yongle coming to my place later and they are bring me a dota CD.. hahaaa... all you pple watch out, here comes the dota master in the making!
