You know God has been speaking so much in this season. If you realised, I removed my recent entry. For one, I didn't think it was explained clearly enough, so I thought I'd do up another entry on a later date.
But for now, here's the power of what God can do through media.
Hope you take 5 minutes to hear this message.
This has been what God has been speaking to me since early this year, through different people and even in my heart. And now, here's another snippet of the move of the Spirit. The same message, shared all over the world by different ones!
Have a great day!

GoodTV - JMa + VanNess
Been extremely busy again... God has been speaking to me so much about many things... and also stretching me in my heart attitude and ability to love and serve Him in many different ways.
Let that be a story to tell and write in near future... for now, let me just show you Jaeson Ma's GOODTV interview... Shin Yee shared with me a couple of weeks ago... Go JMA for JESUS!
(oh the interview is in English - for those who worry it's in Chinese)
And since we're at GOODTV, why not watch again VanNess kor's interview I shared with y'all awhile back... here it is again!
(oh the interview is mainly in Mandarin but VanNess did speak bits and pieces of English when he couldn't find the right words in Mandarin!)
I sit here... and pray that one day we will see XiaoZhu on GoodTV.
Just watching VanNess' interview made me think of the current life that XiaoZhu is living... something within me just burdens for him... I can't do anything man... but I can pray! And so can you!!
Let's pray!!!
Oh yes... and now it's time to sleep! :) Exhausted from a whole week.... ooo~~

JMa - Prophetic Evangelism with Van Ness & Ed
I thought I wouldn't be blogging... So tired right now, it's 12.30am.
Just finished another multimedia clip for Church... but I think it's really bad this time... So I'm telling the committee to show it only if they think it fulfills its purpose.
Maybe it came together with my mood... I remember last year in June 2009, I blogged about SWS (Shannon's Winter Syndrome). LOL.. I'm still thinking about it... I love winters... but I think my emotions are still something I gotta deal with... again and again.
So... I guess like Paul said... sometimes a thorn in us helps us rely on God more...
Anyway, I'm not blaming SWS... but I guess things haven't really been working well lately.. so I guess I'm a bit discouraged. Glad to capture the thoughts the enemy is putting in my head right now...
But I'm happy I've got all my brothers and sisters praying for me... and just the awesome fellowship God has placed around me... the shelter over my head... and blessings in my life... I'll be glad and rejoice.
Anyway, while waiting for my video to be uploaded and sent to the committee, I watched a clip here from JMa's blog...
Prophetic Evangelism with Van Ness Wu, Jaeson Ma, Ed Huang- 1040 Movie
Hope you guys enjoyed it.
Goodnight! :)

The Media Wave - Calling of the Artisan by JMa
God is definitely using the media to touch lives. I can't help but say whoever has a heart for the media industry, you got to hear this message. If you don't, then I hope you do see what God is going to do in this current generation.
This message is so powerful and real in my life. That's because I was having the same revelation and passage during my quiet time yesterday morning. And today, after I watched this sermon, I was affirmed.
Here goes:
At the last “Kingdom Come” in Los Angeles I gave a message on “The Calling of the Artisan” from Exodus 35, 36… watch this youtube flip cam sermon part 1-8. This message is a clarion call to those who have a calling in the arts, media & entertainment field. It is key to understand that God can not create culture without the “artists” creating on earth as it is in heaven. The Spirit of God fills artisans to create, influence and shape culture for His glory. Watch this messages series, be inspired, and know that God has given you a gift to create, innovate and infiltrate culture with His creativity personified through you! Read more here...
He talks about Jin in this part of the clip.

Loving is Contagious
I finished 6kms today at the gym~ woo hoo! How awesome. I feel so FIT right now! C'mon~~!
It's so good... and I think the couple other times I got really long distances was because I was having so many feelings just mixed inwards... and had to just let them go! Yeah... It's always kind of like a battle on the threadmill... the first 10 minutes are always the hardest. It's like the devil there saying, "You can't do it.. give up." And then when I make it past the 10 minutes, it feels like, "Just give up...!" The victory comes when I ignore the voice of discouragement, and hold on to what is GOOD. And when I reach the 30 mins mark, I'm just so happy I could do another 10 to 15 mins! There you go! The devil loves to make you think you can't do something. But when you've done it, all that you thought you lost or couldn't do no longer means anything to you!
Yes, so many times the threadmill is like my mental training ground. And so many times I have those kind of conversations where God reveals to me my heart condition, or my walk with Him. Who am I 'running' for? How am I 'running'? Am I discouraged? Am I encouraged? Am I on fire? Or am I about to let me flame die off? God has used the threadmill to so often remind myself of the state of my heart... ahh~~
So lately I've began to seek God for certain answers. And last night at prayer meeting a sister said she saw a vision for me... and it meant God is going to reply. Ahh.... It so encouraged me!
I'm on this journey of 'Back to Intimacy' with God. So I'mma press on!!!
So stuff I've been working on lately..
My journal club for next Wednesday's presentation at lab meeting.. (I'm so dreading it..)
Please pray with me to turn this Giant into a Grasshopper!!!
What else?
Here's a video of Jma doing his thing again.... I wanna give panda hugs too.. Hee hee... Find me a mascot, someone! He just makes loving so much fun. Yeah... loving can be fun too!
Spread the love...!
If you watched carefully, you would have heard the coarseness of his voice. He kinda lost his voice throughout the whole Taiwan Conference but still was led to preach under total surrender to the Spirit. It's amazing... and after that he was still out in the streets, fulfilling his new year commitment to God - taking the love out there! Whao! I mean.. at times when I'm sick, the last thing I wanna do is step out of my room and meet people...
May God help us to see beyond ourselves and our needs, to the needs of others! As you bless others by providing their needs, God will bless you by providing your needs!
Awesome...
So... I'm going to sleep now... yeah.. seek God and be with the Creator of the universe, and hear His secrets. God is good!

So I'll be still, and know that He is God.
Yes... wait on the Lord...
Amen... amen!

365 Days of Love - Part 2
Oh man... Van Ness Kor Kor shaved his hair...
erm.. lol.... ok.... anyway... digressing..
Unlike Jma, I'm unable to post pictures or videos of acts of love shown... but I think it's amazing how God creates opportunities for us to serve Him when we want to!
So, bro Johanan lent me his car today for the whole of this month. I've got only about a bit more than 700 kilometres to travel. It's like a 'test drive' before he sells his car. Would y'all please continue to pray for me that I'll be able to get a good cheap 2nd hand car that I won't have to fix after buying it? Hee... thanks! May it be Johanan's car or not...
So with this blessing God has given me, I was able to drive some people around who needed it. Drove Kuzi to prayer meeting... retrived Atieno's boxes and she was greatly blessed... drove Nicole and Ann-Louise home too... it's such a great feeling to be a blessing to others!
God is good!
Before I go and savour the remaining of my red bean soup (don't know if it's still drinkable... will find out later), let me just show you what God's been doing and is going to do in Taiwan...! So don't stop praying!!! Cuz God's gonna more... He's not JUST gonna move... He's GOING TO MOVE BIG TIME!!
Kingdom Culture Revival
I usually don't post the whole thing but today I'll just do that... you can read Jma's entry at this site too.
First night in Taiwan:
Alrighty... I hope we'll all seed in our prayers.... May many artistes and people come to know this saving Grace of God!!

Tonight 365 days of love goes to Taiwan, I am leaving for Taipei Taiwan for a critical gathering called “Kingdom Culture.” It will be hosted by our Asia for Jesus ministry and I am SERIOUSLY EXCITED about what the Holy Spirit is about to do at this major national awakening! I will need your daily prayers as I will speak at the conference once and then speak at four services at my beloved Bread of Life Taipei Church youth church. I will be in Taiwan from Feb 2-7. Each day I will still blog on 365 days of love, but I will be doing acts of love in Taiwan! It should be amazing and interesting… so stay tuned cause I’m expecting miracles to happen daily on this mission. Please pray for me and all the other ministers below…
Taiwan “Kingdom Culture” Conference – At the Asia for Jesus “Kingdom Culture” conference I will be speaking along side Bill Johnson, Heidi Baker, Philip Mantofa and the Joshua Worship ministry team. I believe God will shake not only the city, but the nation of Taiwan through this massive revival event. The conference is sold out with 4,500 registered in the day time and expecting over 15,000 in the evening for the miracle crusades. Heaven will invade Taiwan this coming week from Feb 2-7.
1. Pray for a massive harvest of souls to come to know Jesus Christ in Taiwan as we believe for thousands to encounter Jesus!
2. Pray for me and our ministry team (Caleb Lin, Christina Chou, Grace Su, Howie Ju, Ed Huang from Los Angeles) that we would be united together to minister with and to the local Taiwanese in the power of the Holy Spirit!
3. Pray for signs, wonders and miracles to be released and for Taiwan to receive the a baptism of the Holy Spirit as a nation!
4. Pray for my messages on “Transforming Media & Entertainment for Christ” as I minister to the artists/cultural icons of the nation to raise up God’s media army in Taiwan.
5. Pray also as I will be interviewed on a TV program special with GOOD TV and other media interviews to be used by God

I really need God’s grace as this season has been very busy. There is so much happening and working together to advance God’s work. At the same time, I know that I need to be even that much more intimate with Jesus Christ and filled daily with the Holy Spirit. Please pray God uses me as an empty vessel to be poured out for His glory in these crucial end days. Thank you!
Under the mercy,
JMA
First night in Taiwan:
GOD is coming down in POWER in Taiwan! Stadium is packed with worship to GOD MOST HIGH! Let's GO4GOD! - Jma's Twitter
Alrighty... I hope we'll all seed in our prayers.... May many artistes and people come to know this saving Grace of God!!

Mission: Back To Intimacy
Ah... Happy Australia Day guys~!
I had a nice day I would say. Started off the day with God... yes, I'm on mission: Back To Intimacy.
You can never achieve something good without God. Man might think it's good, but I know it isn't. Goodness can only be achieved and come from the one who is truly Good.
So I'm heading on this mission - 'Back to Intimacy' I will call it.
I know once we make a decision like that the enemy's just gonna start roaring and prowling.... But I know God is with me... and that's what He told me in prayer meeting today.
There's gonna be a purification process... as He will do His work in me as I seek to set apart myself for His Kingdom...
Video Clip of Jma's 365 Days of Love - Babysitting.... it's actually quite cool... Baby Aiden's really cute. Have fun watching the clip!
May we look around for the needs of others... Go forth with Jesus' love!
The verses that comes to my mind:
Think about it..
So yeah... other stuff I accomplished today...
Anyway... back to work again tomorrow! Ah... maybe I should jump on the threadmill too... we'll see! Wahaha... it's been awhile since I've done my kms due to the cough that hasn't gone away.. I already finished my cough syrup (yes, gulped down the last bit about 15 mins ago). So... let's pray it'll go away!
Current prayer needs...
1. I'm praying to buy a cheap and good 2nd hand car (manual is fine) by Feb-March. But one that I won't have to spend money to fix after I buy it...
2. Pray that God will bring forth divine appointments in my path and I will not miss it! Pray for me to have courage to meet people and do God's work too!
Lastly..
I will leave with you a verse that's been threading in my heart recently....

On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
- Matthew 9:12-13
Think about it..
So yeah... other stuff I accomplished today...
1. Swam 1km (20 laps)... woo hoo.. finally used my new swimming gear... I think I accidentally rubbed off the anti fog of my one of my new goggles lens when I was washing it at home... sob... :( But... the anti fog didn't seem to really work at all...! It still fogged up while I was in the pool! lol...
2. Went to work and enjoyed the air con in the office... surfing the net and trying to improve my Japanese... wahaha... and I came across the show Gokusen... whao.... I was so shocked to see 2 of the actors so young... I think they were only in their early 20s back then... they are the Hana Yori Dango's Domyoji and Hanazawa Rui (also Sano-san in Hanakimi).
Wahaha... interesting yeah..?
Anyway... back to work again tomorrow! Ah... maybe I should jump on the threadmill too... we'll see! Wahaha... it's been awhile since I've done my kms due to the cough that hasn't gone away..

Testimony from Jma
Praise God!! Evelyn got her internship we've all been praying for! God is good.... yeah? Thanks everyone for praying... Evelyn thanks y'all deep deep from her heart! Hee (i'm her spokesperson... if you wanna book her, please let me know... wahaha)
So a Monday's just gone by... Work went well... and got to go home early... apparently I was the last one to go home... but still considered early! hee..
Then came home, had dinner and watched Da Lang (Hi My Sweetheart) at the same time... then went back to Uni for Japanese class... ohh.. I think I did well today! Hopefully I don't forget what I learnt... wahaha..
Then came back home... finished up Da Lang... and Autumn's Concerto. Ah... Yeah... 2 drama's I've been catching onto now... Doing the Da Lang dance with Cintia and Evelyn was fun too! Da Lang... da lang... dalang dalang dalang dalang dalang~~~!! Wahaha...
Anyway... also caught on to a great testimony from Jaeson Ma...
I've been so encouraged by his blog lately... seeing him do the 365 days of LOVE... everyday there's a great testimony of how God is using this man... makes me reconsider what I'm doing with my everyday life. God can use us whenever we are available for Him..
I sometimes think I wanna do this and that for God... and plan and plan ahead... but faith without actions is dead. May we find our hands and feet for God.. and do it with a simple heart to love just like Jesus loves us... not so that people can praise our works... but praise the works of our Father in Heaven.
I always so love the song we sing at church that goes "Oh Lord my God.. to you I give my hands... Oh Lord my God... to you I give my feet..."
Yes... our hands and feet to Jesus, not literally... but by our doing and going... all for Jesus!
Let's GO!!! And remain in Him!
Have a great Australia Day holiday everyone... me still gonna go in work for awhile tomorrow.. hahaha... so night y'all~!

Still sick... + Vanness' Testimony by Jma
Ah... tell me what's wrong..
1. My cough that was going away suddenly came back... and I'm coughing worse and harder than before!
2. My new laptop is supposed to be 3-4 times faster than my old one... why is it slower? Is it because of Win Vista?
Anyway...
Surprise surprise!
I was surprised to come into my blog to see so many comments left on my tagboard. Thanks everyone for coming by, it's so encouraging to know that people do read or come by! Especially when I've been told I write too much and it's quite taxing for y'all to read... but I'm so happy yeah..!
Simple Test
I remember in my earlier entry (click here to see), I mentioned how simply blessed I was compared to many ones in the world... and that I shouldn't complain about my living circumstances or little things. Right after that, the test came so timely.... but I believe I was touched even deeper within.
In this hot summer heat, my ceiling fan has to be turned on a maximum speed to be able to just keep myself cool and perspiration free. However, as I was napping after work one evening, I heard a snap that sounded like a power failure. And the next moment, I realised my ceiling fan had stopped turning... after awhile, it picked up again, but it was turning so slowly that I couldn't even feel the air current.... last night was horrible with the summer heat...
But something within me helped me to appreciate the blessed conditions that I am still in despite the heat... a nice roof and a nice bed. God so reminded me of what May Cheung preached on Sunday as to how God provides for us.... Yes! To be able to enjoy is a blessing on top of His providence! Let me live in contentment... yeah!
God is GOOD! I found another fan I once had in the house... left by Rosie when she left... thank God for fans...! (Er hem... and those of you who think you can't live without airconditioning...?) Hahaha..
To each man their own convictions! God is GOOD!!
No Jap~
Yeah.. was supposed to be at Jap class now.. but I can't stop coughing so I thought I'd give it a miss. Especially when the kids at class spend half the time talking nonsense and wasting the precious time of working adults...! I just wanna write this entry and go to bed early!
Against Domestic Violence
I once again got this from Jma's site. Hm... if y'all got time, please send 10 seconds to help in the tiniest way. I'm actually happy that YouTube can be used for such a cause... yes~ please watch the 2 videos!
Van Ness Kor's Testimony
I'm actually amazed because right after I posted Vanness' City Harvest Church testimony video on my blog, Jma posted an entry on his blog! Wahaha... Holy Spirit's at work!
So if you haven't watched the video, it's on my previous entry. If you wanna know more details... here's what Jma wrote on his blog. He also mentioned the same testimony in a video link I posted earlier if you wanna see it... Here goes:
When I first met Van Ness, he was quite lost spiritually, but through prayer and seeking God he made a dramatic turn for the better. He decided one day to personally commit his life fully to Jesus as his Lord and Savior. I baptized him in my backyard swimming pool in Los Angeles. That day I shared with him being baptized does not mean you will now have to be perfectly holy, but it means to trust that God alone can make him holy in His grace. That day he took the step of faith and has never been the same since!
Recently, Van Ness and I did a concert and major outreach to youth in Indonesia together. Thousands of youth from Indonesia came to hear him perform his songs, but Van Ness didn’t just give them a performance he gave them a message.
On stage he wore a t-shirt that he personally made. On the t-shirt it said, “GOD IS BETTER THAN SEX!” I was quite shocked when I saw him wear the t-shirt. He then began to share how he gave his life to Jesus and decided to give up all his past sins and bad habits. But there was one sin that was very difficult for him to let go of: sex.

Yes... let us Shine and SHINE!
Guys... let us not stop praying for different entertainment artistes...! Woo hoo! God is GOOD!
Wanna do some praying?
1. Pray for Evelyn's internship application to be accepted so she can complete her internship before Uni starts!
2. Pray for the cough I'm having to go away, and for my health to become better so I won't keep falling sick all the time!
3. Pray for Cintia's grandma who is now in hopsital to recover, and to know Jesus as her Lord and Saviour.
Thanks y'all... Prayers... TAKE OFF!
Holy Spirit... TAKE OVER!!
1. My cough that was going away suddenly came back... and I'm coughing worse and harder than before!
2. My new laptop is supposed to be 3-4 times faster than my old one... why is it slower? Is it because of Win Vista?
Anyway...
Surprise surprise!
I was surprised to come into my blog to see so many comments left on my tagboard. Thanks everyone for coming by, it's so encouraging to know that people do read or come by! Especially when I've been told I write too much and it's quite taxing for y'all to read... but I'm so happy yeah..!
Simple Test
I remember in my earlier entry (click here to see), I mentioned how simply blessed I was compared to many ones in the world... and that I shouldn't complain about my living circumstances or little things. Right after that, the test came so timely.... but I believe I was touched even deeper within.
In this hot summer heat, my ceiling fan has to be turned on a maximum speed to be able to just keep myself cool and perspiration free. However, as I was napping after work one evening, I heard a snap that sounded like a power failure. And the next moment, I realised my ceiling fan had stopped turning... after awhile, it picked up again, but it was turning so slowly that I couldn't even feel the air current.... last night was horrible with the summer heat...
But something within me helped me to appreciate the blessed conditions that I am still in despite the heat... a nice roof and a nice bed. God so reminded me of what May Cheung preached on Sunday as to how God provides for us.... Yes! To be able to enjoy is a blessing on top of His providence! Let me live in contentment... yeah!
God is GOOD! I found another fan I once had in the house... left by Rosie when she left... thank God for fans...! (Er hem... and those of you who think you can't live without airconditioning...?) Hahaha..
To each man their own convictions! God is GOOD!!
No Jap~
Yeah.. was supposed to be at Jap class now.. but I can't stop coughing so I thought I'd give it a miss. Especially when the kids at class spend half the time talking nonsense and wasting the precious time of working adults...! I just wanna write this entry and go to bed early!
Against Domestic Violence
I once again got this from Jma's site. Hm... if y'all got time, please send 10 seconds to help in the tiniest way. I'm actually happy that YouTube can be used for such a cause... yes~ please watch the 2 videos!
Van Ness Kor's Testimony
I'm actually amazed because right after I posted Vanness' City Harvest Church testimony video on my blog, Jma posted an entry on his blog! Wahaha... Holy Spirit's at work!
So if you haven't watched the video, it's on my previous entry. If you wanna know more details... here's what Jma wrote on his blog. He also mentioned the same testimony in a video link I posted earlier if you wanna see it... Here goes:
When I first met Van Ness, he was quite lost spiritually, but through prayer and seeking God he made a dramatic turn for the better. He decided one day to personally commit his life fully to Jesus as his Lord and Savior. I baptized him in my backyard swimming pool in Los Angeles. That day I shared with him being baptized does not mean you will now have to be perfectly holy, but it means to trust that God alone can make him holy in His grace. That day he took the step of faith and has never been the same since!

Light + Entertainment Industry
Hm... an entry filled with words... but hope it blesses you.
What Light Does
Just returned from washing the dishes after dinner... it's like 7.30pm, and the sun was already setting, yeah... depending on where you are, you might wonder, does the sun go down so late/early? Hm... that's how it is in Singapore all year round.
So it was pretty dark as I was doing the dishes..... couldn't see where the oil stains were and where I was brushing detergent over. Mum came by and I asked, "Ma, can you turn on the lights for me?"
Ah... nice, clear and bright. Now I know what I'm doing!
Yeah, it kinda reminded me of how we do things sometimes. The world that operates in darkness tries means to clear themselves of sin by doing good, and trying to fix their situations by working things out without light.
How can we do anything GOOD if we're surrounded by darkness? Unless we have some... LIGHT?
Light makes our vision clear. Helps a lot if we would just be in the light. Fixing broken things can be difficult enough. Don't make it tougher by fixing it in the dark.
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
- Eph 5:13-14
Jesus is the Great Light that will illuminate our paths and fix our mess. Look to Him now...!
Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in fact simply the absence of light.
- Albert Einstein
Entertainment Industry
In sequel to my entries regarding Xiao Zhu, I mentioned against judging him, but instead, to pray for him. And as I chanced upon Jaeson Ma's site, something jumped up in my face that affirmed what I was feeling.
I don't know many Asian artistes. Neither do I know many Hollywood artistes. But whoever I know, I do wanna pray for them. And I do see the hope of the Media and Entertainment Industry moving in the Supernatural - touching and healing lives.
Picture taken from Jma's website
I'm very blessed inwardly by the work God has called Jaeson to do and I believe that those who are called in this area can join in to pray over his ministry. I've been following his blog recently and I'd just like to share a couple of what affirmed and encouraged me to take hold of what the Lord has placed in my heart.
In the words of Jaeson Ma:
Judge Not or You will be Judge
I wrote this East Week article a few months back … in light of Tiger Woods, we need to pray for those who are exposed in sin and darkness, love them and not judge them. We all can stumble, but it’s God’s grace that brings us back to life. Pray for those who fall to find grace and truth in Jesus Christ!
Righteous Role Models, not Celebrities
I always tell the celebrities and artists I work with to remember what Mother Teresa once said, “You are not called to be successful you are called to be faithful to God.” I challenge them to think about their choices, their actions and how the messages they convey will directly effect future generations. I cause them to realize that whether they like it or not, they are ROLE MODELS to society. The question is whether or not they will use their influence for selfish gain or for selfless causes?
Prophetic Word on God's Movement in Media and Entertainment
There I released a prophetic dream and word on what God is currently doing in media and entertainment. For those of you who are called to this mission field you must listen to this word given. For those of you who pray, you must watch this word to understand the importance of praying for God’s transformative power to change media from the inside out. As someone once said, “Whoever controls the media, controls the minds of a generation” it is time to influence this culture shaper with God’s creativity, with that which is truly good, true and beautiful.

The video was extremely long. I mean it still is.. lol. The video also talks about what God has been doing in the lives of Edison Chen and Bro Vanness.. and many other artistes. God is GOOD!
Took me a long time to finish watching it. But I am greatly blessed by the video, the prophetic words, the prophetic dream and the teaching he gave. I strongly encourage everyone who has a burden for the media industry to spend some time to watch the clip till the end, because good things at the back are worth waiting for!
I was also reminded of a decision I made last year to give up writing a story I spent years writing - When South Meets West. Back then, I remembered writing in an entry last year:
"Am I sad? I was.... I mean like..who wouldn't be. 3 years of my hard work... I cry at the thought of it. I hestitated at the action to accomplish the decision. But God's promises are all YES and AMEN. And His promises won't let go of me. Three years will be nothing when I look down maybe some what more than 3 years... 5 or 10 years later, and looking back... that fruit, will be a much greater blessing. Not only to me... but to God, His people and even the people around the world." Click here to read more...
Yeah.. I was reminded in the clip when Jaeson mentioned about the need to go through preparation - not man's ways, but God's ways. God has His way of preparing us... and lots of prayer and intimacy with God is what we should first seek!
"If you are not well equipped and with God, Hollywood will eat you up!"
I'm still seeking and finding my calling... and I believe God will reveal it to me as I remain faithful to what He's called me to do, and what He's given me. Faithfulness is something I gotta learn and practice. Not just learn, but practice.
I'm holdin' on to those prophecies made about me and waiting to see the fruits.
So... my luggage is kind of packed and done... a little more than 1 day in Singapore and I'mma be on the plane back to Brisbane. Mixed feelings... but I'm good, cuz I know God's got me covered!
