Gokusen 2009 The Movie Trailer



Yakumi's simply my heroine! (But I haven't watched the movie yet. :<)

A Worth of Sacrifice / The Bridge

Have you ever questioned God’s love for you? When things do not go the way we want them to, we question God’s presence amongst the trials and difficulties we face. However what we often forget is the immense love it took for our Heavenly Father to even send his one and only Son down to suffer and die for us- people who weren’t even worthy to be saved. Watch this video and be reminded of how much God loves you.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”- Jn 3:16


Graffiti Bridge to Life

Watch how the Gospel is represented in this awesome combination of graffiti and hip hop. It will certainly connect with your youthful heart. Enjoy!

The Stool

Although we know that God will make the best decisions for us, to what extent do we have no qualms in allowing Jesus to sit on the driver’s seat and to steer our lives according to His plan? Do we show complete obedience to Jesus even when we do not agree with the decisions He makes for us? Let us reflect whether we are still directed by our own desires.

Day 15- Formed for God's Family

Benefits of Being in God's Family

1) We will get to be with God forever.
2) We will be completely changed to be like Christ. (Still being pruned by God and in the process, I realise more and more of my shortcomings and sinfulness.)
3) We will be freed from all pain, death and suffering. (Not exactly true. All Christians are required to carry our own crosses / bear with our suffering, but we wait in patience and hope as we trust that our Lord Jesus will carry us along.)
4) We will be rewarded and reassigned positions of service. (I'm often being condemned both in my mother's and school leader's eyes, but somehow God is the only one who lifts me up and assigns me
a position of responsibility in the catechism class ministry- the Overall Coordinator. It seems like only God can see the value in me and nobody else appreciates me.)
5) We will get to share in Christ's glory.

The riches of his grace such as kindness, patience, glory, wisdom, power and mercy will pour on us abundantly on Earth.
But in eternity, we will inherit even more.
