shifted!


I've officially shifted to WordPress.com @ ccorey.Wordpress.com .

Reason being:
1. Wordpress doesnt require me to log in everytime.
2. Logging in doesnt need me to type in my long email.
3. It's way neater
4. Doesnt need much management.
5. user-friendly - I hope.

HAHA.

recently had our Bizart 1 CG at Bedok Joo Chiat CC KTV. Wow, i must say our CG comprise of diversed people ranging from quiet ones, to noisy ones. Crazy ones to serious ones. No matter what we might be, God have a plan for us, a plan to grow each and everyone of us to the one that called us to be.
God is going to use all of us, none will be left behind, to do his work, to be a light that shines his name in TP design, TP business, Any other place! we will shine!
heeeee.
This week, also had bizart 3A farewell. wow, it's been like almost 6 months or more that bizart 3A got together as a group. There's alot we've been thru, good and bad. No matter what, I thank God for this group that bondedd us closely, growed us all in different aspects. looking back the path, I believe, we've all become stronger in christ and closer to one another. For me, I have changed my attitudes, character for the better.
I thank God for all he have planned and installed.

wow, was being said by geckting i think that i post 3 picture was about to start my post, but i just said i going off soon. wooohoo. HAA!

okay, let me recall the events that i've been to recently... hmmmms.
First day of CNY
Stayed at home waiting for relatives to visit and spent a great time understanding on another and knowing each other's life!
Second day of CNY
Went over to m'sia eearly in the morning and reached at around noon. Following are the pictures taken over at M'sia. with cusy, all of them indeed have changed quite a massive bit! =)

came back and den had school, for the next few days followed by service and restructure.
Well restructure was quite a massive one and for me, it'll be another journey with God. Yes, i foresee alot of problems to handle and I have to learn to handle, have the right attitude and most importantly, grow my relationship with God. when I am sensitive to God's calling, God's voice and holy spirit's prompting. Well, I think there's alot more for me to pick up and to continually move on and on out of comfort zone. - expanding my comfort zone.
Okay, just went house visiting with the KUKUs yesterday. It's been so long since i last met up with them. didnt manage to go chalet with them due to service and duty. well, there are still chances eh! =))
Went to gwen's house first, den to serene's house for steamboat which is also at shirley's block, den lastly went to samsam's house for mahjong! Wow, from 11am-11pm we spent our times together. it was indeed a v. fruitful time yeaa! =) below are the pictures. alot more to be uploaded, but i know kaili will upload them. hiakhiak.=)


Okay, gotta go school now. see ya people!

I have a great burden for my family now..

My maid is going back home already. her Dad is having some critical situation recently. Heard from her she didnt wanted to leave, she even want to study in Singapore.. But this have to happen. I feel so lost for her. She cant bear to go back, as she's already part of our family. we didnt bear for her to leave too. My sister cried, my dad also cried. Well, not that we're crazy or what, but she's really a very very nice girl. I have never regarded her as my maid, but as my sister. As my close family one. I see the way my family feels towards her departure, Indeed, a surge of sadness overwhelmed me. I dunno why, but I really cant bear to let her go. Realised how she've been doing many jobs that we do not know how to do if she's leaving. Who's going to bring my sister to school- my sis want my dad to drive her now. ( my dad is already v. tired out) who's going to help my dad makes the food for sale whilst my dad goes for work? who's going to help my dad pay for his bill? who's going to help my dad to run errand? which maid will understand my grandma? who will be able to take care of my dog well. I can bath the dog, but diamond's reliance on my maid is way too close. diamond wont sleep, till she sees my maid. that's how close she's with my maid. haix.

She became a christian after she joined our family to work. She also converted her parents through her strong and persistent faith. How great is our God. even moving till this extend. No one can denies the power of God that's working amongst people's heart.

Recently I noticed how my Dad is staring into space without reacting to the situation. He would not smile , he would just frown, he would just get worried. I see his haggard and tired face, I realised my Dad aged. I havent been realising, how much my dad have worked and pushed himself to get up and chiong the whole day just for the whole family. I really want to do my part. but, no matter how much I do, my dad just wont stop working for a single day. he's not even smiling now. I know there's a problem in him. I know he have a heart issue, heart knot that he wont want to reveal. Right now, seeing him crying becus of my maid's departure, it greatly affected him much more. Without my families realisation, my auntie-my maid, have slowly been doing half of what my dad suppose to do. She's been a great helper of my dad, be it in my dad's business, or in our house, she'll really take care of it. she always do her best, and never allow her emotions to affect her in any way. My dad, is been hit with this fact. no matter how much my dad wanna stay her, my maid wouldnt, her family is quite in a drait state. it made me realise how much i wanna help in this family. i feel so so so burdened, i know my dad is freddiing over money issue, family issue and all issues. but yet, i do not know how to help him other than to do my part. I want to do beyond my part, but I dont know how. I want to see joy in my family, i want to see happiness in my family, but so many issues are coming up, it seems so impossible to have events to get together. chinese new year is coming, but yet, this first day of lunar new year, my mum wants to do business, this means my dad , my mum wont be able to spend the new year with me. Yes, money is important, but to me, I believe God will bless. my dad do not want to start the business, but my mum insisted. What can we say and what can we do.

Looking at my grandma, she's aged 88 now, she've reduced the no. of times she go to the market from 3-2-1 now.. she's not as strong as before. she's not as energetic as before. she's weaker, she's tired, she's old already. Seeing at these situation, i really feel lost, feel i dunno where to start from..

Father,
I desperately pray for protection over my family, over every single situation that might be happening. Take control, let your power reign. I want to pray that my maid's dad will recover upon your healing powers so that she'll be able to pursue her interest, her love in studying. I would want to pray for my dad lord, Lord, let my dad realise, money is not all that matter, yes, we need them, we cannot live without it, but you've said, even those birds in the sky are fed by You, are we not as important as they? God, I know you're looking, I know you're in control. I want to pray for Joy in my family Lord... my mum is not a christian, I pray for her conversion Lord.. my dad have left you for a long time, and is lost in the world now, Lord, pick him up, bring him back into your embrance Lord! I pray for my grandma that God you'll strengthen her as she goes and to complete much more of your work in her whole lifetime Lord. she's a faithful servant of yours, she've done her very part to see her whole family, her sons, daughters, grandchildrens being baptized in the name of Jesus christ Lord. Your power and your awesomeness have been witness in her whole life. Continue to help her and strengthen her Lord, let her health be a great testimony to the world Lord! I pray for my brother's and sister's salvation too Lord, they've lost their way in christ once again, Lord, select them, choose them. For God, I believe you'll continue to search for them and seek for them till they come back to you Lord. I will do my part, and let your will be done. God I pray for all, take charge and use me Lord.

Amen.

xoxo

One year ago, on 14th of January, was the day that i set free, was also the day that i dont understand till today. It's sort of a time where i was really down, really upset, really broke down completely. Till today, i dont understand. what was the mistake that created so much misunderstanding between the both of us. But I saw how i changed, when i Let you Go, when i let my Heart be set free. yes, it hurts, but what could i do at that point of time? What else could i saw?

I thank God for a renewed life. I thank God for a refreshed life. I thank God for all that he've installed in my life. Without God i think i am stil in the lost world trying to reach to him.. which would lead me to nowhere. I Thank God for picking me up once again. How God changed my life amazed me to the max..

From a girl who cannot stop hurling vulgarities to someone who stopped her vulgarities.
From a girl who hated her family to someone who is adoring her family.
From a girl who yearn for every single possessions to someone who shed off her belongings.
From a girl who's alway wants others to please her to be someone who is pleasing God.
From a girl who do not know where i am going to someone who is rest assured in God's plans.

God can change life, he can also transform life! amen!

I believe deep down in our hearts sometimes we feel pek chek if we keep talking to someone and that person avoids u for a year and is still persistent in ignoring you, you'll definitely feel upset. for that person maybe someone whom you really want to speak to at some point of time.
I've been experiencing this.. and i realise something diff. when i came to know God.. no matter how many times i failed God, God will not say, " i am angry, i will ignore you.." God stil listened! be it as a sinner, as a child of God, as someone who feels ashamed to face God, he still listened! i think it'll be tough for me to listen to someone who made me angry and upset. But God doesnt just listen, but he provides a way out, he provides for us! Thank God yeaaa?!



I thank God for my changed life :
To be a transformed life that can transform lives.

I`m simply a girl with the name of Joanne Tan. I am a child of God, and I simply love God with the bottom of my heart. I`m turning 18 soon in oct-7-2009. I realise alot more when I come to recognise his voice. The voice of truth, courage and love. My life took a turn on the 17th of May 2008.with the addition of joy through my loving CG & unit. That's when i realise that there's so much more to life, than the life that I we have been living. Have you found the life purpose that will last till you die?


I've found mine, what about you?

Goals-

- Grow myself to a CL.
- See people's life transformation.
- To lift Jesus's name on High.
speak out! -
