the heart of a child, a true worshipper

worship~
it's not just a time of singing songs or clapping hands..
it's an expression of our faith..
voicing out our thanksgiving..
showing adoration for who He is..
a sacrifice of praise..

Fight for Christ(54'c) 2009

HUGE camp 2009

sometimes, it is easy to worship..
but are the worship that we offer really come out true from our heart?
are we just merely open our mouth singing praises but doesn't mean it?
just like saying the three words "I LOVE YOU" to your love ones but takes no action is showing the love that you have for him/her..
it takes action.
it's the matter of our heart..
do we have the heart of worship?


we can raise our hands to sing..

we may declare in public how much we love Him..

but the question is,
are we becoming His true worshippers?
are we building the kind of relationship with Him that He desires to have with us?


yes. worship Him in spirit & in truth..
worship is a lifestlye that we need to cultivate..

a total surrender of our lives to God our Creator..

if you ask me what kind of attitude of worship we need to have..
i will use a child to illustrate this...

in nature, a child is an innocent being who just let out how they feel..
they don't hide their feelings. when they are hapy, they laugh..when they are sad, they cry..
it is only when their mind are being polluted by adults around them as they grow up,
they begin to hide their feelings in order to protect themselves..
for example, not to cry in order not to appear as being weak..

when a child prays, they ask in faith...

when they focused, they seek God earnestly...

when i first started to join First Kids kindergarten & learnt to worship lead the children..
i began to see & learn from these little children..
*it's amazing to see how much you can learn from them*

when they worship, they really give out their hearts..

God hears their prayers..

their hearts are pure, & God loves them..

despite where they come from or what is their family background,

God still loves them....us.

it is true that when we faced problems or troubles, we seek God even more..
because we need Him in the midst of our struggles..
we learnt to depend on Him.. how much we needed Him in our lives..
through the storms & pains, we experiences His realness, His power, His grace & His love even MORE~ He is faithful~ =]

God definitely want us not just to seek Him when we're in need..
He want us to seek Him everyday of our life..
keep the relationship with Him alive, strong & close..

personally, when i see these children worship, i'm touched..

it's true that God knows everything.. we can't surprise God..
but we can do our best to "touch" our God with our worship~ =]
let it be true from our hearts..
the attitude of worship is very important, because we are representing God..

especially worship leaders, their roles are very important..
they are the frontliners..
they are the ones who lead people to worship..
in another word, to connect people to God..
if worship leaders want to lead & have the people to worship God,
they must first be a true worshipper of God..
to worship Him in spirit & in truth..

we must know to whom the songs and praises are given..
God is the One..
our only focus.

this serve as a reminder for myself too..
let's change the "THEY" perspective to "WE"..

we must bear in mind that we are worshippers, not performers..
many of us failed to do that..
because we care how we did in worship..
like, "do we sing well enough??"
we tend to think about how other people will think of us..
worship is not to show that we are better than other people..
we are here to worship as one family..
we are here to lead them..

God look at our hearts, not our talent..

we need to give our 100% or focus on Him during worship..
that's what pleases Him.
He don't care how well worship,
what matters to Him is why we worship..
because even we did mistakes, He won't be angry or what..
His grace is sufficient for us. =)

let us care for what God thinks about us, not man's..

You make all things new..

God You are so so good
There is none like You
You make me sing out loud for joy
Lord Im so grateful.

Jesus Your love for me
Like nothing I've ever seen
I lift up my hands
To praise Your name
O how I love You
Jesus I love You.

Everytime Im in Your presence
I cant help but to overflow with gladness
You are so good and merciful
All I wanna do is to stand and worship You.

I delight myself in You O God
Make all my hopes and dreams come true
Only You are worthy Lord
All I wanna do is to shout my praise to You.

*You make everything beautiful
You make make all things new
You are ever so wonderful
You are always good.

heard this during joash's memorial service...
really touching. my tears rolled down my cheeks once we sang the bridge part(*)..
yupe, God makes everything wonderful & all things new for joash~
& my life anew.

joash, your legacy continues..

last few days were filled with emotions..
wish that it as just a dream..
really hope that moment i woke up, joash is still alive.
but the reality is, he's longer here..
he has gone to a better & beautiful place, gone home to be with our Father God~

those who know joash definitely will find it hard to believe..
but one day we'll be able to accept it, & we'll meet again one day in Heaven!

yesterday, few of us from YES 08 went for the memorial service at taylors college..
the song "always good" touches me so much..
tears flooded the hall that we're in.
many people shared out their testimonies, the times they had together with joash..
it's really amazing to see how great is the impact that joash has placed in all people around him..
joash really put in a lot of effort, never failed to show cares & comfort to those who need..
he served God through singing, playing the guitar, piano & drum with all his heart..
he never complains..even once.
his cheeky smiles really brightened up our lives~
though he is very talented, he has great humility..
he simply introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Joash" to whoever he meets..
he is the friendliest person that i've ever known..
yesterday only i found out that he always hit the quota of knowing 20 person a day..
which means, he could simply talked to anyone & introduced himself!

somebody said, whoever became joash's wife is the luckiest person in the world..
suet ling, the love of his life is that person..
it's so touching to hear the story of joash, having his leg sprained in last february, hopped all the way down from 20th floor*he used the staircase because the lift broke down on that day* just to deliver the roses on time..during valentines day. knowing that his cantonese was bad, he purposely learnt how to say the chinese new year greetings so that he could greet her parents when they met..
joash loves everyone, but he loves her even more.. that's a truth. :)

it's amazing that eventhough through this difficult time, she could stand strong & encouraged all of us to be strong too & move on..
we'll support you too!
after we went for the memorial service, many of us actually felt a lot of better..
God's presence & comfort was there..
ian chuah & i thought of going out to share something on behalf of YES 2008 as well.. but time doesn't allowed us to do so. :( urrrgh~ one day might record a video on our own for you ah joash! :)

the memories of him & knowing what he has done really made us able smile again..though we deeply miss him.
indeed he has finished his race well, & he got his prize..
may God say to him, "well done, my good & faithful servant"

joash, you'll always live in our hearts..
in every coming YES gatherings, we'll remember you & all our sharings & testimonies will be dedicated to you.. you're more than a tuki warrior..

beatrice neo said:
"As we had always said tat we are a special group. We really are. Bonded in spirit n hand-chosen by Christ. Wit only 1 Joash, it wasn't enough to impact this world. But by d death of Jo, so many more Joash-to-be were inspired.
Let's impact d world, YES-ians! In memories of Joash!"

thank you joash! we'll carry on your legacy & rock the world for you~!

hmm..today is father's day, i'm sure you're up there celebrating father's day with our Father in Heaven & also your earthly father who is now with you.. :)

we miss you!


yeah, now only got to know that you're a king of mess.. don't be a messy kid when you're up there ya! haha

p.s: in the remembrance of joash, i'll dedicate all my cupclays*my art work-go click* to him~to all who love these cupclays, may you'll remember this great friend of mine...

you are always in my heart, joash wee..

in loving memories of Joash Wee Ren Qian (11.10.87 - 17.6.10)

PEKAN: Five members of a family were killed and three others badly injured in an accident between a multipurpose vehicle and a trailer lorry at Km87 of Jalan Kuantan-Segamat Thursday.
Five in a family killed in a crash along Segamat - Kuantan Road (from the star online)


Pekan police deputy chief DSP Amran Sidek said the dead were Roland Wee Seng Hock, 56, senior assistant of a secondary school in Muar, Johor, his son Joash Wee, 23, two daughters Jasinth Wee, 18, and Jelyn Wee, 16. The other was Seng Hock's mother-in-law Lim Kim Boon, 79.

Those injured were Seng Hock's wife, Chew Chin Loi, 54, and their two other children, Jemima Wee, 17, and Josiah Wee, 13.

They have been sent to Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan for treatment.

The family, from Taman Mas Ria, Muar, was believed to have been on the way to Melaka in a Naza Ria MPV after having spent three days of the school holidays visiting a family friend in Kuantan when the accident occurred at 7.45am.

The empty trailer lorry was travelling from Segamat to Kuantan, he said, adding that the slightly injured driver had been detained.

Amran said Seng Hock, his mother-in-law and two of his children died on the spot while Jasinth died during treatment at the Muadzam Shah Hospital due to a severe head injury.

This was the second bad accident in almost a fortnight on Jalan Kuantan-Segamat. On June 7, six people were killed in an accident about 10km away from the accident spot. Bernama

you've brought us smiles & laughters in many ways..=]

i still remember, when i first had a great hit on the back of my head,
you simply put your hands rubbing my head & said, "poor wai chi..."

when you heard that i was feeling down, you'll cheer me up with, "owh..come i give you a hug"

thank you so much..

you're not just a leader, you're a talented person too!
you're a good guitarist*i miss your singing*, good drummer, good tennis player, great MU fan~
