was back in singapore for mere 9 days. went by so fast. sorry to those i didnt manage to meet up.
sorry yiwei, f, n gals,...... sorry.

Traveled 32 hours to get back to Redding. Was beat. So I followed up with 14 hours of sleep.
I’ve been waking up at pre-dawn, 5 plus the past 6 days. Only today and yesterday was foggy enough, like how winter’s day should be, not to be able to see the sunrise. I really hope that I can stay like that – waking up so early and having that time to myself and God.
It’s been really cold these two days. Wondering how long does winter last. I dunno!

This trip has been really really fantastic. I was so blessed (and very packed in meeting people). For one, I was impressed by the hunger and humility of people – my pastor, the church’s intercessor ministry, various people whom the Lord spoke to through me. it was incredible. To say the least, I was apprehensive cos “a prophet is without honour in his hometown.” But I was given so much favour and influence it surprised me. well of course I realized hometown for me is “home”. I crashed and burned and wasn’t able to minister and have those incredible breakthroughs and prophecies that I said to most I met up with the 9 days I was back. I really need to work on that – work on loving my family and walking out the real gospel amongst them.

Being back has been really good. I really feel like it’s home here. it’s easy to feel that way when I have my own apartment (slightly smaller than a 3 room flat) with my very own room (I don’t have that in spore), car and a nice routine. And moreoever, the friends I have here, or rather the brothers and sisters, the faith, the spiritual climate, the things I am learning here just tip the scale. Haha. I’m really glad to be back.

For the longest time, I having been feeling like I stumbled into the new year. My newsletters to my supporters over the last 8 years prove it. But this year, I feel such a readiness and a huge anticipation.

2010 is going to be a year of breakthrough and harvest. There will be great growth and advancement of the Kingdom and of course, in me too. My spirit testifies to it and my whole being just lines up and welcomes the new year.

Being back at All Saints also showed me this is going to be so for us as a church. I was tasked the testimony and countdown segment of the Watchnight service. The atmosphere was so different. People were so ready to come up and give testimony. and the focus was also SO right. It was not thanking people but God. I believe God is ushering All Saints into a new “era”, a new season of deeper spirituality and pursuit of Him, and readying us to play that our role in the revival of Singapore.

The Church (not just the local church, but the Body of Christ) will come into her destiny.
