We are celebrating the 8th Anniversary of New Life Community Church!
During the week, I've been wanting to cut my hair and participate in the celebration with a new look. Vain hor~ Hahaha... Nah.. Just want to have a fresh start.

Anyway, I went to my usual stylist to get my hair cut. And I prayed as I reach his place that I'll have a nice hair style. And then he asked me how I want to cut. I just told him to cut how short, etc. and he remarked: "Wha, so short? You don't look nice in short hair. Your face will appear to be even more round!" Then I just told him, I just want to have it short. Cause even as I have long hair, I'll still tie them up anyway, and its getting so hot nowadays. And he started to cut and trim and kept reminding me that I won't look nice in short hair, and warn me, saying "Don't say I never warn you, he even blew dry my hair to illustrate how my hair would look like once it's dry, before he style it for me. I just told him that I just want to have it short, and he remarked once again, "So you just want to have it short and not to look pretty ah?" I just said "YES!" LOL..

After I got a nice hair cut, I was quite happy with it, and I thought it really looked good. But then as the stylist kept saying I don't look nice, I started having second thoughts.
I came back home to change, and do some housework before heading out to church earlier to help out. Then I put on my make-up and looking really nice before heading out.
As I made my way, I felt people looking at me, and I thought whether my hair was really terrible.

Then I decided, I don't care how people look at me. I think God has bless me with this hairstyle, and I'm happy with it, why should I bother! So I just made my way to church feeling confident.

Once I reach church, and stepped into the admin office to help out, my fellow sisters called out to me! LYNN!! WOW.. YOU LOOK VERY NICE LEH~ LIKE PRINCESS WOR... YOU LOOK SO MUCH NICER IN SHORT HAIR!

I felt so happy when I heard that! Not often people say I pretty leh.. Hahaha... Anyway, as we were wrapping gift items and stuffs, they kept telling me and assuring me that I look nice ~

And after helping with the wrapping, as I stepped into church, some of my friends couldn't recognise me! They thought I was a guest of someone! LOL... I worried for nothing whether I looked nice or not! And throughout the night, I guess God just wants to assure me again and again that I really look good with this new hairstyle. Cause I didn't hear a single negative comment and all comments made are all positive! Hallelujah!

That night's dinner was scrumptious! There was sushi, dessert, kuey, mee siam, chicken, fish, beef rendang, lasagna etc...

I was so full that I was worried whether I was able to jump and shout later for praise and worship! LOL.. Lucky, God was good. I was still able to jump and have fun and no stomachache! Hehehe... After praise and worship, Pastor shared about how much our church has grown and shared some testimony.

Our church has been a church of healing. And he shared about a 70+ year old uncle, who previously suffered from lung cancer. He was told by doctors that he's already in the last stage and that he only have around 3.5 months to live! And when he came to be healed, he said that he felt "Hotness" around his chest area, and the following day when he went back for his health check, the doctor actually told him that he's been totally cured! There's not a single trace of cancer cell in him. God has healed him instantly on that day!
And recently he came back for another check just to be sure, and guessed what. He's totally cured and the doctor was very happy! Pastor even said, those who do not believe him, can check with the uncle who has got medical records.

Another amazing thing has happened to Pastor himself or rather his father-in-law. It's really too amazing to share here. If you want to know, I'll tell you. God's so awesome. He's doing super-natural things in our church that we cannot judge base on our own understanding/knowledge/logic.

After the sharing, it was ministering time. This time, we have Pastor John Steele with us, who's annointed with the gift of prophesizing. So I waited to be prayed for by him.
He just said that sweetness will come to me and then I was slain.

Next, I went up to be prayed for again, and Paul came up to me to pray for me. I don't remember the exact words, but it was something like gentleness be upon me and that he has seen the transformation in me and again I was slain.

After I got up, Paul suddenly called out to me, "Lynn, Lynn, come, I want to pray for you again"
So I went up to him again and it was on my career and that God will let me have the right career and that wisdom will be upon me and again, down I went. I was slain.

As I was lying there, Pastor Simon came by and said "The Joy of the Lord will be your strength!" Just like during the last day of church camp, I started laughing and laughing... And pastor came by a few times saying the same things and I kept on laughing. Again it just feel so wonderful to be pampered by God. :D

After I recovered, pastor was nearby and he said Hi and extended his hand to help up. I went up to a few other princesses and told them, this is what happened in church camp, except this time round was milder. They weren't able to make it for the camp.

As the service ended and everyone starts to leave, Paul came up to me and said, "Lucky I prayed for you the second time, otherwise you wouldn't have the joy again" :D
I must say the second round of minstering was really what I needed. I'm thinking of changing a new career and wanted it to be where God wants me to go. Most likely the change will come about next year.
