(this is for chaco and dan sim) anyway, u noe wat, the greatest gifts i will get is mun yee coming bck soon d and michelle goh may go bali with my family and i may go phuket with her and her family.. and i missed anna .. the sleeping partner who go through shops and search for my present and wishing me so early in her blog.. and the 'best' part is, she won't b coming bck in christmas..
fiy, and my life is very interesting recently.. i can't begin to describe how interesting it can be..
warning, contains emo writing that may be hazardous to health.. read it if u don't mind. be careful
let me get this straight, i am afraid to get to 21st.. thinking about it make me emo.. i just wan to run away on my birthday to somewhr.. the question in my mind, is hw much have i accomplish? all my dreams and hope, did i take the risk to accomplish anything? when will i finally drive properly like an adult? am i matured or fit to be 21? i said i vow not to regret anything that happened because i learn from it.. so, did i ponder and learn enuff? i have so many dreams and hope, when will the time come for them to come true? of course i am glad to know that my identity is not based on my dreams and hope.. most importantly, do i know God enuff? this term or year, is very interesting, God have surfaced so many of my issue, and nw i am asking, wat is next? is thr more healing or am i suppose to wait on HIM? i guess both, and hw? esp when listening to beth moore, believing God, it challenge me so much.. it convict me last sun .. what do i fear most? even as praying, my eyes are red, that i used to belive that i am uncapable, failure.. and lonely... mayb nw i still hold dat lies.. dats y i wanna run away on my birthday and just go to beach or travel (i wan to travel but thr is no chance yet, alwiz think i can't take care of myself and of course finance) .. so many times, i try to prove myself to be trustworthy and respectable, but failed to fullfill by it.. and den, as bth moore say, the enemy confirm u by saying, c, u r not worthy and nt capable, u have failed.. btw, as PS. Serena encourage us, it just stirred me again, dat we must find around 3 days alone with God.. jason mae did it and finished the bible.. nw i m praying for a time with HIM..
p.s opps, this is a really emo post.. told u its hazardous and b careful lol..
and i found out, mich and chaco also ask the same question i do..lol.. guess we all are bund to the same social expectation and structure.. honestly, i hate it
clinging on to the HOPE that bring life to my heart again and again

yup, sex sells.. that is what my tv and video culture lecturer said the first time he lectured us.. it just bang me so hard.. i m actually wondering did i choose the right course? and i know most of the hollywood movies, nwadays such as don't mess with Zohan, knocked up, good luck chuck, sex in the city, gossip girl.. yes, i do watch them (call me hypocyrite) but don't worry, i watch it in protection of my mind and fully understand the degrading part of it.. the extreme emptiness and nausea will fill me when watching this type of show.. please, sex is something personal and intimate, leave it to the bedroom only... don't need to show it on the screen, good enough internet and pirated stuff is full fo porn.. all these are blooming to a industry definately. its perverted and sad.. corrupting minds and sow seeds of lie into minds.. its like human r only created for the pleasure of sex a.k.a love machine.. come on, we r worth more den dat.. n the worse part is in movie, love happen so fast, like in a few days, n they will have sex, n tada, the new generation instant noodle type of love... aside from prostitution (ur bodies get money out of the service from it), this is another form of degrading.. oh and not forgetting, those girls in car magazine or some car show etc.. its ewwww, what are they posing thr, if u wanna buy or view car, y do u need a girl to stand thr n pose.. a machine to persuade u to buy the car.. or a package dat come together for the pleasure of eyes.. yea, such attraction of a pretty face n sexy body
in my personal opinion, sex is the highest intimacy with a person u can enjoy.. nw, let dat sink in, its a commitment too as intimacy required dat.. like love,it's not suppose to come easy. the word love and sex come with responsibility and commitment, emphasize once again.. (u can nod ur head and oooooo dats y xiying nvr get commited in it)
love love love.. u won't even wan me to start.. its just pathetic.. a loneliness get away.. all those bull shit (pardon my language) for eg, because u appear in my life, i am whole and satisfied, u r the cure to my loneliness.. plz la, it nvr work dat way.. i nvr ever find true wholeness and satisfaction in guys, they r nvr cure to my fallen and broken heart.. in fact, the more u crave for them to b the cure to ur lonelines, the more u need it, like u dig the hole n fall inside, digging more..n its harder to come out once u fall (hallujah, Jesus crucified to b the Hero to pull u out of dat pitt of love or sex addiction) ..so my principle, nvr ever get in a relationship out of loneliness and check if u r ready for it.. n one lesson from a big 'bro' , if u r happy single, den u r ready.. n certain touching can definately arrouse emotion (we are programmmed in our DNA to enjoy dat). finally like what jason mae journal mentioned, in his fren teaching.. it is good to out in alliance our emotion with God leading..we are emotion being and its beautiful but we must keep check of it..i may sound like 'preachng' but its my own experience of defeat to emotion and the continous victory of Jesus.. psst, even as i type this, i am weeping of my pitfall of emotion..along with the very lie i believe which is using my own strength to guard my vulnerable or insecure heart instead of trusting God to guard it(this is from debbie blog, an old fren from a few years back combined church camp.. i am like whoa, dat hit me literally, i did dat too as the realization come)
marriage nwadays is another issue, the dissatifaction out of it, divorce and abuse..the children who have to face the harsh effect of divorce, and the etc effect after they grow up..
and this fren, wrote "who can sit still watching as the world degrades everything that God gives to us. We degrade sex (into an industry), marriage (into a hindrance and legal leeway(sp?)), love (into something only people who visit whore houses are led to believe), bodies (into machines of forceful attraction) and so on. "
i totally agree and inspired by it..
globalisation is another issue dear to my heart.. it is one of my subject.. my lecturer let us watch a video regarding globalisation.. one video that stirred me up is the secret filming of companies such as GAP, NIKE, REABOK, MacDonald and more western corporations.. the workers of the corporations were mostly from cambodia and indonesia, so when film, the workers were interviewed and their lifestyle are documented.. its just sad when u know that the ethics for labour from the countries are not make known to them, they are free to be exploited as the government can't do anything about it, due to the system.. the labour work, 36 hours, standing and only receive minimum wages.. they barely survive.. and they get poorer by each day.. n the best part is, unisonly people like us belive thr is ntg much to be done, we can't are much about it because it is everywhere.. u have to learn to live with it.. i noe its ridiculous, but if God lead, i may go for mission, since God have planted seed of compassion into my heart for ppl who suffer unjustice.. so again u can't help but weep wen u c the condition esp if u wake up feeling like a 'princess' and nw u realise ppl wake up feeling unworthy, exhausted and hopeless, n wat a 'big' fren said come to me, we r very pampered generation..i noe i noe, i m melancholy lol..
just a ranting from me.. signing out ppl..
luv... xy

from the title it sound lame lol.. i mean like hw many times i use similar title before..
anyway, i know my hiatus have been long .. but then, haha, i just don't find the need to blog.. hmm..
life have been life.. pretty interesting.. n alwiz fail to actually study.. sadness..
have a blast in my recent hari raya, with tea party and BBQ.. pics in facebook .. =) even the tea party and bbq have been a veri personal and interesting testimony to me (if u r really interested to know, dial my number =) ).. n it have sure bring blessing to me and hopefully others.. i can only say i am once again surprise and humbled by God way of moving even through this party..
n i nvr in my life i have tea party lol
and thx for the wong kok lunch too.. and thx for a bracelet with my name and the lovely card =) i am blessed early along with others.. but, i am still waiting for the real date of my birthday hint hint..
errrr, here come the 'melancholy me', if given a choice, i wanna go to beach, all alone, with no connection and just spend time with God.. and after the ministering of the holy spirit seminar in my church, PS. Serena reminded dat it is essential to spend 2 or 3 days completely alone with God.. dat stirred me up.. a new desire to just back pack and travel alone with only God is my desire, and if God wan it, HE will grant me the opportunity.. fiy, mich adi got me travelling Christian book lol thxkie..
oh ya, the seminar is another cool part and pieces of my journey.. learning to just trust in God even as the insecurity and intimidation surface while training to prophesies.. the fears of past mistake due to immaturity of prophesying resurface, but as i choose to persevere instead of following my feeling to run away, God honor me by giving me victory over it.. and of cos, the loving and encouraging environment condition is really a blessing.. and what i have receive from God is truly a blessing... i can't forget when aunty christine cried when aunty sue and me share about the baby in her stomach.. and God show her through us how much HE know the baby.. for me, showing me the gender (they noe its a gal but i dun, till God show me) and for aunty sue, God show the little gal is playing with toys.. when she debrieft and share, she just broke down.. lotsa excitement and fire after the seminar as our church is brethen denomination (opps, i noe this is a sensitive issue). just really glad to c my church direction.. n for some, it may not be powerful, but for us, it is the path we are walking as slow as we are.. and i am blessed with the heart of the people of my church.... for me, i am humbled as i am to show ppl HIS beauty, a prophesy close to my heart.. and bringing hope to the broken and destitute.. and amazing hw fast and true God show me about this in the party (again, details are withhold for some reason, u can try asking me in my contact number) ... nt just dat, recently God have been bringing ppl dat need consultation on stuff (nt dat i m gud at counselling) .. i can see the season i m in nw in a sense, ready to bring God love but still with HIS 'lovely' healing (lovely coz my room will be flooded by tears, eyes as big as pumpkin the next day jk jk )
and i will restrain myself from typing certain 'ear or eyes catching' news a.k.a drama (i will call it gossip and dat means i won't b talking bout it without reason, n only restricted to the group involved, its private, personal and confidencial) in mine or in the certain circle of my frens life.. lol.. this wan, if u feel fish to noe, call my frens, if u happen to noe who to contact.. =p oh n thx for the sincere concern n support shown.. err, i have no idea y i sound like something serious happen, dun worry its nt life threatening, just dat this do not need any publicity..
p.s and today is actually michelle goh birthday.. haha.. hope she like the cup cake eventough she can c some alphabets on it, due to the 'perfect' way of me taking it.. n i did try my best to maintain the balance of the cupcake while in my hand alrite.. =p May u r blessed with this little efforts of mine.. (if u read my blog haha)
and i can't wait to watch mamma mia with her n etc..
and i m also really glad dat mun yee is blessed on her 19th birthday.. n wen she come bck.. our plan can come true.. m y, i m waiting... haha

been thinking of it lately, ever since i blog, i have been thinking about beauty so much lately..
Beauty is to accept the imperfection within us and LOVING IT.. I have to admit this is tough one.. i for once is with alot of imperfection, or so i think.. being bombarded with comments like, oh, u look like malay, u so dark.. and mum wanting me to put powder and cutting my foods intake make me obsess about my complexion and weight, nt mentioning my height.. i am below 160.. thrfore i hated sun, and try hard to exercise and cutting foods.. i know some gals go the extreme miles of nt eating at all.. recently my paranoid situation over my skin started when i have to walk alot under the sun and for the sports carnival in kota damansara just finished last sat have reached it maximum.. and u dun wan to noe the exact details.. lol.. so this make me think, izzit worth it to be worried and do every single thing to ensure my 'beauty'..
The thing is, y izzit so important to gals to be beautiful.. and what is the true defination of beauty, since we are alwiz bombared with beauty by media.. since my paranoid situation, i have know and more aware of hw much I (perhaps other gals) are shaped by the perception of media.. not to forget we have the tendency to compete out of jealousy... its our nature desire to be beautiful, thrfore we compete and jealous with other gals, when u desire something, envy will come to ppl who think they dun have it..
so, bck to the question, y izzit so important to be beautiful? y nt cute or just simple? of course none wanna be ugly.. bt the question remain.. y we spend tons and tons of time to be beautiful or secretly wishing we are beautiful? or some just go and have plastic surgery like in nip and tuck.. the sad part is the gals did not gain true self confident even after plastic surgery.. and even models, they have problem with beauty as much as they denied it. i mean, whats with the exessive make up and regular meeting with plastic surgery (in janice modelling company).. and yet we believe dat is the standard of beautiful or hot or gorgeous.. trust me, even beautiful gals are insecure.. they still think, they can be more beautiful.. whreas in some situation, a beautiful lady is a bridge for her to connect with ppl, as ppl will naturally be astounded by her beauty and want to noe her, bt her personality is shy, so ppl bck out, and turn to a simple gal but with bubbling character..
at the end, my question remains, but the word someone once told me keep echoing to me, to be beautiful, u must realize u r beautiful deep down.. and while my paranoid come to a highest point, the source of Beauty came.. telling me dat i need nt worry bout my flesh, it will be alrite, and HE is the beauty, the source of our desire to be beautiful (beauty not in flesh but every aspect of us)

i personally luv to swing.. i can't explain hw dear it is to me.. i have taken a love on swing since small.. the feeling to be push or pushing urself and den when the swing go high, ur heart soar with it.. with a certain fear when the swing fly high on sky, i learn the fact dat i luv adventure/freedom but thr tis fear to limit me from unleashing too far ahead.. encounters to be push and to trust the person who push me my safety is another lesson.. like the book girl on the
swing.. its a beautiful encounter with God, being a girl and on swing with God..
thr is this experience i wan to share, i call it "the swing encounter".. thr are a few time, where my Father will bring me in time of need to swing, and as he sit with me side by side, sometime pushing me.. normally bringing company, luv and comfort to me.. its a Father and daugther time.. dat y dat day, even as me and michelle g went to park nearby my hse, and thr is a swing, veri big and high, wen i swing on it, remind me of heaven.. i can hear my heartbeat and even in the height, something in me rested.. the sky is dark, bt something is shinning-it feels like heaven.. i cry, laugh and soar on the swing.. nt fearing to fall and the height.. i luv swing!

cosmetics bring along the story and whole history of ladies desiring to enhance their beauty of to tranform to be beautiful.. personally, i have encounter some issue over this story.. in search of the beauty within me, i encountered words like, u better put some foundation, because my collegue say u look like malay and dark, very words from my mum.. and then, you don't know how to groom yourself, don't know how to make up and dress up, by my boss of event planning, whom i work for internship.. so after my boss commented, i run to the nearest guardian and bought cosmetics.. along with my mum cosmetic and some my collection but nvr used, i embarked on a journey of applying foundation a.k.a make ups. bt i came to realize cosmetic is not a problem to help u to b presentable or enhance what u have but nt to make u beautiful.. Beauty is when ur face shine naturally after an encounter with God, none can resist dat.. beauty is wen u r able to breath freely in life-to be true to yourself and others.. beauty is wen u r assured of ur identity, beauty is wen u r loved or in love, beauty is when u have joy in life (notice hw beautiful it is when u smile or laugh?), beauty is rest and grace, beauty is the picture of triumph after trials..beauty is when u love urself with God eyes, being comfortable in what God created u to be..beauty is when something in u is birthing with anticipation, thr is life within u- do u realize how divine a pregnant lady who is overjoy while waiting for the baby arrival.. beauty is awakening of heart- where all the beautiful poems comes in.. beauty is soothing cream to the soul,light to the heart and eternal(everlasting, one that u will keep looking at, asking for more and nvr be bored) which captured your heart (beauty is capturing)- once u c true beauty, ur heart will forever remember it and be transformed by it. beauty is pure innocent and simplicity- i remember my mum used to share hw my dad will chase those small little innocent girls, and treat them like princess.. beauty is powerful- y so?coz in bible, esther use her beauty to help save his ppl- the power to fight and conquer.Even in many other example, hw many women use their beauty for gud and evil purpose... Beauty is definately an expression of heart, the depth of soul- even in tv series for eg, no matter how pretty is the evil character, u will not find her beautiful (even pretty) after some time, bt for the heroin, eventough she may be simple at first, bt u will find her beautiful if the show potray her with her inner strength (ability to love, forgive, patience, gud hearted, and etc)
hw much we desire beauty but it is so not appearance... if appearance its called pretty or gorgeous or hot. bt beauty is diff.. and thr is ntg wrong to use cosmetic, dun get me wrong.. and its a gift for girls who dun need to use cosmetics.. wat a liberation.. dun need to rush in the morning to apply.. dun need to spend tons n tons of moeny of cosmetics.. beauty care products are different..
nw, let me give a true eg of beauty after encounter from God, i was baptised in this year easter.. i know God glory is with me, and after baptised, 2 guys came and tell me i look veri beautiful and radiant.. and i knew God shine through me.. =)
tis will remind u about moses.. when he lead the israel people as God appoint him to.. one day, as he was instructed to seek God alone on a mountain top, wen he came down, his face were shinning as a result of encounter with God, till moses have to use veil when he face the people..nw dat is beauty inside out, don't u think so?

ok..let see.. i watch iron man, kung fu panda and amazing grace..
iron man- its a techno movie, somewat cause a hit like transformer and all.. this for me is a movie with a plot that will leave you want to be hero.. an epic story which consist of actions, great gadgets, brain, adventures, romance and a purpose to live and to fight for.. our hero here is heart broken when his father is mentioned as he died in car accident and all.. in the "wilderness" when he was captured by the bad guys, he finally realize about his life and his dad life.. and he found his purpose and use his genious for great purpose (the one for his heart and to stop destruction of world, which is the suit of couse).. bfore dat, he just lead empty life, drinking, leisure, sex and leave the company in the hand of his workers or guardiance.. and i think the plot regarding the betrayer of guardiance is certainly painful as it should be someone you trust.. and the aloneness as he is on a project no one trusted can come true.. and of course, nice cars, nice suit and all..oh, and imitation is always not original .. like the iron suit the guardian copied... he didnt think of the ice problem.. romance wen he chosen this sweet asistance of his instead of flings,a gal dat stayed with him throughout years and is trusted with his wellbeing.. dat can go through dangerous time for him..
kung fu panda- i like this line, thr is no secret ingredient, but if you believe it is, it will be so.. and this is also a movie of searching a depth of identity.. searching of who you are.. and that do you become what ur parent think u should or you pursue your passion (the dream he have at the start of the movie) while honouring them.. also, the sifu learned that to train a person, you have to believe in him and find a unique wat to train.. no one is the same way.. panda also struggle with the fact that no one look up to him as the chosen one, that he is capable to achieve the task.. he also compared himself to the furious five who are greatly trained in kung fu..bside the point he idolized the furious five and so excited to know them..here you can see the issue of intidimation (or inadequate) is one dat ppl suffered... when the danger lurk, he give in to low self esteem and doubt and fear.. bt last minute his dad reminded him of the 'secret ingredient' thus allowed him to choose the victory.. oh as victory and respect from others are in hand, panda did not forget his sifu and show respect to him..he also accompanied him after dat.. ppl especially young ppl are hunger and in search for a sage-someone to trained you with wisdom and love.. and we need to learn the art of submitting, respecting and blessing them.. its a beautiful plot..with lotsa sense of humour.. like Po said in his animated dream, thr is no charge to awesomeness and atrractiveness!
amazing grace- beautiful history.. a man that is given this burden to fight for slaves even as he himself is sick and the fight took years bfore he and the others suceeded in abolishing the slaves rules.. tis is another epic movie too.. with a cause to fight for and romance... i like the romance here, which took years to blossom and build.. of course the politic is another important element in House of Common.. this may not be an easy movie to understand per say..but its a heart stirring one.. to see one nearly lost hope in a battle for a better world and then hope arise again, ushering more ideas to win the fight.. the purpose one hold which prompt him to live on.. the cry of one heart who have been through the horrible experience yet ppl leave wen the issue is being preach or brought up.. one thing, this movie focus richly on the fighther of the cause rather on the ppl dat is in the cause.. if they show a little scene dat slaves on the ship in boxes instead of just the tools, it will be more effective.. tis will enable the audiences to "smell the death" on the madagascar ship.. oh, and i can't explain the feeling when victory were finally gained after all the years.. the intensity of it.. imagine, relieved, joy, "finally we did it" and the "I win" feelings.the mixture of feelings..

As i said in previous post, i am bursting with thoughts and words..
thr goes.. my bro just came bck from a motivation camp.. they have a book, which is written by max lucado.. its a story about a village live by small wood made people crafted by a carpenter who live on a hill top so that he can watch the wood people. the wood people go by living with sticking either a star or grey circle to each other. star means either you are a beautiful people or you are talented. grey circle means you are ugly or not talented. there is this guy, Lo, people called him fat guy and he is clumsy and not talented beside ugly. he often will be stick with grey circle, sometimes for no reason. This result in his low self esteem and isolated behaviour.
one day, he met a girl who doesn't have any sticker on her body, people who try to stick sticker just fail to let it stay on her. so he ask her about it and she brought him to the carpenter. there, the carpenter said he have been awaiting his arrival and answer Lo why the girl didn't have sticker. it is because, she value the carpenter view than the others.. she know the carpenter created her uniqely and accept her for who she is, not her appearance nor hw talented she is. and the carpenter gently tell LO, because he created them, thefore he cared for them.. and bcoz they care about the sticker, then only it will stick, if Lo, place his believe in carpener, Lo will not care bout the sticker, and it wont stick anymore.. bfore Lo leave, he finally realize dat he is special, and he can't wait to meet the carpenter again.. with this thought, one grey circle fell off.. till den..
it just reminded me to bck to basic.. its a children or teenager book i noe..bt hw much we need to grasp tis.. n we need more of tis kind of book.. most of the time, a relationship with God, u just need to be back to basic, to realize your worth in HIM and let the river of HIS love flow..
p.s tis afternoon.. while i was on the computer.. a tiny pinch come to me.. all the word dat i m fat and all, all the vainess which is alwiz thr come to me at once, not in a pain form but more of awakening form, i noe i have to do something.. i decided to not let it control me.. all the furstration and toil that it caused.. well, i will not go on to all the reason why the word fat form in my mind.. the important part is just at dat awakening time, a liberating thought come to me, a thought that everyone should be confident of who they are, beauty in diff form, shape (size) and packages.. its the confident that make you beautiful, the shine, the confident glow of loving urself for u.. i realized, i am healthy, nt fat.. well, i m not saying, stop all the gym and exercise.. bt don't believe in lie dat damage you, or control u as it linger ur mind.. i was a victim till nw.. n i may continue to battle it but i pray to be reminded of the above simple liberating truth.. nw, i can see my pics and smile, really.. those pics that i hated it bfore.. i believe i need not mention who bring the liberating truth rite? hehe.. still, fiy, its HIM..

i m bck from a spirit filled camp.. pics in facebook.. one word, tis camp leave me longing for more of God.. Praise HIM! the audio and power point is available.. i wanted to share more bout tis camp, bt frankly i dunno hw else to describe it, God just present HIMSELF beautifully thr, along with the theme of our camp, God love our passion.. HIS love just flow in worship and msg, devotion and altercall.. HIS glory stirred the passion in us.. dats it.. period..
finish my exam.. will be working soon hopefully.. waiting for confirmation from michelle and arrangement.. the next 2 months will b a diff journey.. let see whr God wan me to be la..
and i m loving the community of my church.. the fellowship just make u comfortable, like a truly loving family.. the prayer meet in my church is another spirit filled meeting (duh lol)
kdu CF is launching passion soon.. pray for it! a evangelism event.. fiy, can't wait to combine with KBU cf more.. its cool to noe them.. CF camp tis year will include them..wohoo..
ps. i can't describe exactly hw Gos is working in me nw, its overwhelming honestly.. anyhw, like uncle weng chiong put it, let Jesus shine in u, den it will overflow.. i m bursting inside with words, but circumstances and time will let me say it (of course i ask God to grant me wisdom to say it).. haha.. n i notice, nwadays, once u mention something i can share, i will have the impulse to keep sharing.. till the stirring to share in me is over, den i will stop or till circumstances make me stop.. lol.. its interesting la, so will c hw it goes..just a random thought bout myself..

global prayer day is over.. i dun noe hw to describe it except powerful... for those who go, praise God.. pray that the pledge that have been done that day, will be fullfilled with God grace.. and all the prayer on that day, will move the spiritual dimension on God timing..
continue to pray for global rice crisis.. for me, it seem like some place will soon meet famine just as written in bible.. just perhaps la..
of course pray for china and myanmar.. that ppl will be comforted even at tis time.. pray that more ppl will continue to help the victim.. even at this grieving time,gud thing dat come out is ppl show their heart to other human, which is not a often scenery at tis new era.. tis thought keep lingering in my head, ppl will ask y God allow tis to happen? y so many natural disaster strike now? whr is God at tis time? i dun have the answer, bt GOD have..n most of the time, we wont understand HIS plan, bt with HIS wisdom, we will..
continue to cover kdu cf leaders.. last fri, we have a time of surrendering to God lead by miss angeline.. a time to reconsider our priorities is to love God first, not to serve HIM without knowing HIM.. As we kneel and bow, may God awaken our heart again to HIM.. back to the basic...
my church camp is in 9 days!!!!! can't wait!!! our church t-shirt rocks .. and we can swim and go caving...
p.s happy wesak day... and i dun celebrate it ppl.

cell group for cf starting tomolo.. oh boy, can't wait to know the members.. oh n guess wat, jason want to do alumni for cf.. he wan the history of cf.. history to b dig out should i say? lol.. like the artifact hidden bury down for thousands years waiting to be found.. interesting, all the ex commitees and all, u bet..
at tis moment, i am asking alot of why.. y God even bother to send Jesus for ppl like me (ppl like me, most of the time who doesnt noe hw to handle HIS love, who is stirred by small little matter), y i am xiying (i noe its lame), y can't i be more loving towards my studies n classses, y can't i love God more, y can't i hunger more, y i am asking so many y .. i guess all this y is dat nw my heart is just needing HIS guidance, teaching, n God wan us to be teachable, i hope my questions enable God to lead me a step deeper about HIM, even with the simple questions.. another thing is i m human who is given emotion bt seem to have too much of it..lol..literally.. bt emotion is given by God (its part of HIM) n its beautiful non the less, just sadly the fall of mankind unfortunately have corrupted it.. hmm, y do we feel? y do our heart feel the desire, needs, joy, love, pain, anger, lost and etc? guess HE do too... bt in a more 'matured,higher and sacred' version den us, n bcoz we r in HIS image, we can only pray dat like Father like children..for nw as my Father daugther, i m asking HIM to take care of my desire, and needs that have being stirred up for nw.. i see a road in front of me, long and endless.. n i say great, now i will walk on till dunno wen n with no direction.. i try to walk n i tripped, duh, with the intense darkness..n tears drop roll down on my cheek..bt God say, wait a minute, tis isnt life mend to be, with a snap of finger (imagine the sound in ur brain lol), the road is lighten, blinding me actually, n a big comfortable hand on me, n i see the signs post n all indicating whr i should go, then, God say, thr u go, tis is better.. its suppose to be dat way..i wipe my face, i rise n walk.. bracing forward.. well, i can guarantee i will tripped again, definately..i am professional in falling down on stairs n bus n etc..bt i believe in the big hand..

one time, me, michelle and harrison are talking about hw some new generation parents have no hitting policy unlike us, the older generation whom parents still believe in hitting policy.. and the ranting goes on like kids nowadays are so spoiled and etc.. the parents won't hit them and will just tell them nicely their mistake.. michelle claim that this way will nvr work.. for me, the kids nwadays are too well protected and i m sure in any other way, they want independant.. the hitting or not is up to parent.coz there are pro and cons in everything.. this policy may i add depend on the children emotional level too.. some may be too fragile to get hitting, as it may damage their self esteem, but some may need a little spanking. i also heard from mun yee in hillsongs kids, they don't hit kids, they believe in treating kids as a adult or may i say human that understand words, anna agreed.. haha, i guess for me, if u treat the child as young adult, then even if he is not, he will try to be, coz he wan to live up to the trust u given.. and i think, as violent as a kid may be, thr is alwiz an issue behind it.. well, patient is needed to tackle it.. best is, ask God to show u about it.. one thing i alwiz believe, no child is accident, it is a add on of the love of the parents whether it is out of mistake or unplanned.. it is still a gift to the parent like it or nt, a life created out of passionate moment between two (i noe tis doesn't include pregnancy out of rape or force sex).. even in womb, a child can sense rejection..
oh and hw michelle hate it wen children ran amok and scream in public places, lol.. n i begin to wonder, wat will i do if it is my kids, i mean ppl sure find it irritating and all, well, its too early to think la lol, bt i still can't help wonder like how i will train my child (will i use the child attach thingy like wat michelle say-tie ur child to u in public so dat they dun run amok bt still, come to think, they r kids, so yea, depending..beside, it is a gud way to lost weight as u run to chase them lol..), hw i will educate them (should i send them to sunday school or homeschool? to avoid wrong teaching, noo offence bt thr is caution of the sunday school teaching), will i be strict or not,will i practice hitting or no hitting policy, will their faith be influence because of me (how should i let them discover a relationship with God but yet nt make them believe it becoz it is a family faith, how to build their foundation in God that they really noe who is HIM nt based on what i say who HE is.. sometime, i even thinking for a term, wen they r old enough, let them stay somewhr without the family, and let them choose their faith freely, no forcing that every sun u must go as a family to church n etc. u have a choice as God gave everyone a choice, then only the faith is a strong foundation wen u choose urself) and etc etc, all tis questionis in my mind .. one thing for sure, i will definately ask God to shower them love.. a Love higher than my love and bcoz it is this Love i can love, nt forgetting that if i have children, it is HIS power that granted it. wat i learn being a daughter of God is (no one can be a mother without being a daughter) , HE will give HIS children the inheritance wen they are able to handle it.. and sometime HE even trust u more than HE should, and sometime u wasted it (i noe i did out of my childish way or bcoz i m a spiritual bastard, untill i noe my position in HIM), bt HE will wait for u to grow and matured before it is trusted to u again.. and every child have diff level of spiritual maturity thus diff level of inheritance, thrfore diff way of raising them bt it doesnt mean favouritism.. also, God dun value u for ur result, ur work, ur knowledge, ur success, HE as a father, cherish us because we r from HIM, becoz we want us for who we r.. like a mother who still love the son even wen he make mistake..yes, God the father is hurt everytime we make mistake and fall, but HE wan to restore us wen we repent..HIS love is able to forgive our iniquity.. That will be a lesson i wan to pass down..
well, the journey is getting more interesting.. i will walk on to c more... and sry for blabering.. too bad, writing is a way i communicate myself and present my thoughts.. i only long winded in writing.. i wont b able to speak so much ...lol.. my frens should b thxful..
-12:06 AM
overwhelmed is the word i will use nw.. just fill with work and some other 'distraction' haha.. well, so yeah, i am in my blur and silence mood maybe slightly impatient, forgive me for it. bt I maybe very hyper on certain time and ppl.. ahaha... guess nt just me that is stress by work, michelle goh as well... she is so blur that she nearly bang by car thinking of her statistic assignment..probably she is counting the probability of her being bang that the car...lol.. oh and everything she see is all in statistic especially probability..well, degree is tough but life move on... and my ankle is better d..lol..
aaron birthday dinner is soon (happy 20th birthday bro!).. say, in few hours time ahaha.. will post the pics is got.. talking about pics, i uploaded alot of pics in the new created album called pics pics =) in facebook.. check it out.. and in kducf.blogspot, pics of recruitment drive is up..

anyway, lotsa things happen.. just dunno hw to fit all here.. till time make me write la..lol.. emm, cheers
p.s i am bt who i am, i may act differently accordng to ppl n situation (call it fake or fitting it but most of the time, level of comfortablity or circumstances is the factors), i may be easily influence by ppl (especially michelle g, n gal, just dun take credit haha) but most importantly i am who God say who i am, no matter hw i may act (whether i act hw a christian suppose to act, bt of course HE will change me n rebuke me gently if i done wrong bt its all coz HE is teaching me) .. sry,it may sound emo, or hard to understand.. sry dat tis is whr i let out my thoughts, so just forgive me if wat i say u dun agree. at last, plz use ur heart to c a person, dun use other angle but ur hearts, its best with God heart n eyes to c a person. =) cz lotsa time, even myself, we make mistake by using our own eyes to c a person.. I have learned dat using God eyes to c a person grant u compassion n deeper understanding..

testimony time..
preparing..

yay, I am in the water...

up (alive)
since last year the baptism question were posted to me.. and since I am new to the church and all, i consulted my elder, uncle hock seng along with aaron tam.. Uncle Hock Seng patiently lead us to understand more.. I am shown by God how this church function as a family, supporting each other after I went back home from consulting.. most importantly, when i ask God should I get baptize, HE didin't answer me yes or no, instead, HE said, HE can't make decision that i am suppose to make for HIM..that time, I know I am not ready yet..and i remembered the time is Christmas time..
and time flies, and it's flying to easter (alot have happened in between,and God is faithful).. again mr kenny posted me this baptism question... then, one fine day, I am very lazy to go cf prayer meet, but thr is this prompting that i am to attend it. God presence is thr as usual whr we seek HIM corporately, and I must say its my desire to pray out of HIS heart.. then again, when mr ken, drove me to one u for my shuttle van,he ask me for my baptism confirmation.. after I catch my shuttle van, I am reminded that the decision can only be made by myself, and looking back, I know how much love God have showered to me..then, this scene came to me, a man have long prepared to propose a gurl..he is ready with ring, flowers, make the restaurant reservation, but he have to woo and court the gurl first before he can do the proposal.. most importantly, the gurl have to either say yes or no to his proposal.. now i understand y God bring me to this scene, to show that baptism is a marriage and it means commitment for a marriage..HE adi have the proposal long ago for me, but HE is patiently waiting for me to say yes to HIM..to say yes to declare HE is my Bridegroom and to belong to my church family.. by then, my heart is clear of what to do, I say yes..and the joy came..
after my decision, baptism class started and then explanation by elder, Uncle Chris (called interview..lol, but it's quite informal and uncle chris joke somemore)
and on the big day, the easter day (can't sleep the night before, too excited hahah).. i noe God is with me all the way, especially in the freezing water,lol..yeap, I do I do.. God glory is shown on that day..HIS victory is bursting with joy.. we celebrate! i just can't seem to thx God enough to bring me to this church whr the elders is all sensitive to HIS spirit.. God have use this church to bring me breakthrough.. even on that day, after our guest speaker finish, God wan to have more victory, HE pour down HIS healing, deliverance and annointing.. ppl just cry, kneel, Words of live is given, apostle and prophetic annointing were given.. amazing.. I just stand thr and let my tears flow as God break me from generation curse..another breakthrough..

http://su-en13.blogspot.com/2008/02/woman.htmlread this post from my church mate blog, she is talking about this japanese series, 1 litre of tears.. and its really nice.. especially the part of the movie, whr the mum said, above all, I am a mother.. for me, it means no matter wat, she will be fullfiling her duty as a mother.. for me, it just like God's faithfulness.. hw beautiful.. hw strong is a mother love..hw much greater is God faithfulness for us..
i just want to add to the crying part, yes, go ahead and cry, it does not ake u seem weak or nt in control, it means u have the courage to release it through tears and it is beautiful to be vulnerable to God.. trust me, all the tears is precious to God..beside, breakthrough come with tears.. after u cry, i m sure u noe u r lighther.. after crying, u will be able to stand again.. plz don't give up by bottled up ur emotion.. and oh yes, i do need alot of crying to b who I am today, and more to come, but I am nt worried, because like child birth, the pain of crying is just temporarily and when u see the 'child' (the victory) after u 'push' (release), u will remember the joy..
so even for guys, have a good cry when u need it.. find a place whr u can have all the space and piracy u need to have the 'child'.. And most importanly, be honest, if u are angry, make aware of the feeling, tell God and HE won't mind ur language, HE is big enough for ur bashing.. seriously, this is important, because, in order to solve problem, u need to be honest, yes, u need to honor and praise God, but when u dun feel that way, tell HIM frankly no matter how disrespecting u may sound..
p.s read her post and enjoy..

one day, my mum forget to pick up my bro from tuition center (coz she were too tired after work n just drop another bro off) anyway...he suggested dat he use cab to go bck home.. mum hestitated n all.. but after some talk, she agreed. i noe its a small matter but its like a mother bird slowly letting her child fly, even if she is worried n all.. for parent, we r alwiz a baby. well, i noe its nt a big deal for him to take cab n all..but for him , it is, a 15 year old boy who normally protected by mum n all.. my mum protected us, too much sometime, my dad is the one who understand the need for us to survive on our own.. u noe la, mum alwiz the one protect the children n all.. well, by taking cab, its means he get to learn to wait for a cab, tell the hse add n point direction n b aware of the cab driver.. its might b a small thing, but its a step to prepare him to fly as a individual, as a man.. by using cab, he will have the sense of accomplishment (i noe it might nt b accomplishment for u) n being independant.. so, yeah, dats y u r encourage to let ur children do things on their own, with approciate guide of course... it does matters, wen we noe we r trusted to do things..

its jan and all..i m mostly at home being a "house guard" and i get paid haha... anyway, i decided to withdraw from commitee in CF.. i also found out how attach i m to CF.. but my season is up thr.. well, if no sucessor for my position, i will have to wait and see when God will send.. training for the subcommitee will start soon and i hope sucessors can come out from thr.. its a joy that some of the newer commitee in CF are having a blast, even in commitee meet(whr we normally veri formal and quiet) now, they all so hyper and comfortable throwing ideas and jokes that even miss angeline is entertain haha.. well, can't wait for easter, canp and etc..
when i decided to step down from commitee in CF, i keep wondering what will happen after that with my college life and all.. that make all the memory i have thr come up.. hw i m aware so many memories were created thr, whether it is fellwoship, pain from the conflict and fight.. all the jokes too.. its all far too valuable to me.. i also wonder how is God going to continue the connection HE gave to us (u noe who u guys r).. HE keep assuring me that connection that HE gave wil not be broken like that, unless HE allows it.. i were also assured that HE will bring me better plans for this year even as i step down..a new vine, a diff season.. its exciting to noe that ur future is so secure in HIM, that HE holds ur future..one thing, even wen some of us step down, we will still help out and it will always remains as a part of process in our life.. for that, I am grateful...

i dunno y but i love this image or bumper sticker form facebook hehe..
thr is beauty in waiting... n even more worth if u wait for the right one... the God ordained Heroic love... thr is pain and loneliness in waiting..but love is not self seeking, meaning for me, it does nt seek to satisy ur loneliness...God will send ur hero wen u r satisfy in HIM n seek HIM first, for it is at dat time u r capable of loving the other one or others ppl... wen u r full of luv, den only u can flow ur love...
i noe i noe it is painful, but a sacrificial love is the most high love, it does not only apply on Jesus but on us too... mayb u say i get tis from a movie n all.. but yea, wat i wan to say is dat, if u love a person, surrender the person to God, let the person free to soar...surrender the person to God, bcoz u noe, it is the safest place he or she can be... u noe love hurts alot of time.. sometimes, owning the person bfore the rite timing or wen God din say yes can be hurting the person, u n God... u protect the person by surrending him or her in a save hands like God.. u will hurt the person wen u r nt ready to be committed in a relationship, u holds a lot of emotional bagage n etc..den it will b best to wait on God to deal with urself, as i mention in another post dat love is nt self seeking (nt to satisfy ur loneliness n nt to ease ur emotional bagage). relationship is nt about two ppl, it involve God n even ur family n frens...thr is a certain responsiblity involved....sometimes, fairy tales doesnt end with the prince or princess together happily but rather letting him or her free to chase his or her dreams and happiness...wen u r able to let go a person, den u r able to embrace and understand true love..God let us do our choice too, HE nvr force us to be own by HIM but rather HE let us love n run to HIM by sacrificing HIS son.. also, a mother, who at the end will have to accept the fact she raise her children in order to free them as a capable adult...she sacrifice for her children in order to set them free, chasing their own dreams n happiness, no price could ne paid..dat is love....
in a movie- thr is a part- whr the heroin pray..she mention about diff kind of love dat exsist, a love ever strong yet not voice outvand the tenderness expressed in a stuborn way, keep flowing in the heart, a father love towards the son.. another kind of love, a love that is mystic, the giver give out of control and it comes in a mysterious way, the gentleness is subtle, whr the lover's ex girlfren who patiently wait for him to wake up n take care of him.. another love is the deep sacrifice love, a love that is without shape n in the air..a love that is hope and the cut is made because it is necessary, she have to let the lover free and the cut is made out of a unwillingness to break apart but it is made at the boldness of love.because the lover n the gal love is too deep, the gal make a choice to let go in order to give the lover a better live..she wan the lover to have all her blessing n live with happiness..she wan him to have a full life n dun want to hurt him anymore...(the lover met an accident in order to raise the money they need to build the dream she have)
-8:18 AM
i realized something thesedays:
i noe i m imperfect n a failure, full of mistake, but once i m child of God, i have to be someone else, because becoming Christian is to die n live again. wen u die, ur new self rise, u r a new being d, a whole new person.. so, nw i have to declare to the cycle of mistake n failure dat it no longer have a bondage over me.. God the ever perfect Father created me with His hand, hw could i be imperfect if i am created in HIS image n likeness? God want to restore me to be the perfect being HE created me..well, even then, i m nt saying dat once i m child of God n declare tis, i can b perfect instancely.. i m simply a fallen human, imperfect, with failures n hurts, slowly letting the Potter hands restoring me to what it is intended to be, the holy spirit control n change me day by day... I m imperfect but HIS perfect LOVE catch me with my flaws. time after time, yes i cry after failures n failures n simply conclude dat i m a failure..but i learned from it n the experience helps me to rely on God.. most of time, the failure is a cycle of past hurts which only God can restore as I release to HIM.
i noe ppl dat is without mistake n can't stand mistake..think about it, it is a mistake wen adam n eve sins.. dats y we strive to make it up by achieving tis n dat n live flawlessly... those mistakes also help me to understand ppl with mistake n hw to fix it or rather hw to deal with the consequences.wat u have go through will grant u the understanding n compassion over ppl who fails in the past..u also learn from past experience n not to repeat it.. its all part of growing up..even albert einstein said, all those failures is nt really failures, he just discover what can't be used for his light.
in the end, yes, i apologise for doing so many mistake..especially over all the trouble cause....
-7:35 AM
i m going to reveal something mushy gushy haha....
yeah, i m talking about love...thr are different kind of love ...
i for once pray for a Hero to show up, a light shining armor to swept my feet away.. a hero dat will protect me, love me, believe in my value, accept me for who I am n gently lead me to another level (spiritual)with his heroic or poetic love..he noes i m imperfect but all the imperfect can be conquer with a perfect love... a hero is someone who is willing to fight for me, but dun mistaken it to jealousy of human but rather the fight is to restore back what is sarced to me or what is meaningful to me..for example, he will fight for me (support n pray for me, wen attack from the enemy come, he will take his sword at the right time) wen he noes dat it has been my dream to preach the gospel...a hero also have to be gentleman but dats alone is nt enough, being a gentleman is nt an act but because of courtesy n love (he does not help u to open door becoz u can't do it and let him feel superior bcoz he can do things for u but rather becoz he want to help u in a sincere heart..at the same time of helping, he trust u can do it, so at times, he just beside u, supporting u and give u the support wen u need it. most importantly,a hero will be secure in God love and secure in his position as God child n warrior. a hero is someone strong yet gentle (made in the image of God)...a hero is someone u could c a future in him... a hero dat is gifted from God to u(gals), is someone dat will seek God (the highest force) wen u do and wash ur ears with God words..also, wen u r undergoing a change in ur walk with God (say a deeper level of intimacy with God or a diff season) he will be supportive n protect u, even wen the season is nt easy..he do nt need to say anything but rather hold ur hand n just let his presence hear by u, or pray and cry with u.. a hand dat catch u wen u fall...thr is more..but it is enough for nw...
i was asked one question before, ppl always change, one day, will u wake up n find dat ur love towards the person change especially as u grow older... i just realized one thing, if it is God ordained love, the perfect love will withhold both of them n best of all, God will work with both of them on a level whr one change, one will change to understand wat is going on..it is important dat both of them seek God, therefore able to communicate as they are tie by God together, the changes (eg, diff seasons) will be dealt at a understanding heart-for God will reveal to the another person what u r going through, if both of u r close to each other hearts, put each other in prayer, God for sure will reveal or help u to interceed for each other..God will also allow both of u to go through same spiritual growth as both of u seek HIM together, allowing the understanding of hearts happen... then, the love will not die but grow as the two are able to communicate in the truth of love n have the same spiritual maturity as they seek HIM together.
p.s. yes, i have high expectation for the 'hero' becoz my Father in heaven says i m worth it, same goes with all gals...i noe dat sometime i act strong and thr is no need for a hero..but looks can be deceiving haha..so i still need guys to help me to carry things lol, and lesson number one, wen a gal say no, it means yes, i noe its confusing guys, but too bad..it just gurls haha...they are shy wahahahahah

yeap...time really fly..faster than an airplane sometimes...without me realizing..i m turning 20 years old this year...and well, i feel old haha...believe me...but one thing, never in any year I look forward for the years to past and to let God unleashed His perfect plan in my life... Its the third year of me in the journey with God, and only one word I can utter, Wow.. and then start starring at the sky and become emo..lol..it just so many thoughts will come to me when I reflect this 3 year journey, and it have been amazing, with joy and tears of course.
Gratitude linger my thoughts, realizing how much i live on other people helps, support and fellowship..at times, how I wish I could be the one that offer helps and support...ah, the desire to grow up and capable come to me again, but this time, taken care by HIM..what can I say beside silently thanking them and trying to show enough gratitude to ppl who have stick by me all this time...my church who just came into the picture of my life have been supporting me like a family and how grateful am I for it.. the Bread (words of God), Water (Spirit) and fellwoship provided by the church has truly been a blessing...
sadly, people come, people leave..memories is the one stay forever...I learn to accept this and cherish the connection while I can...sry la..if u guys think my birthday thoughts are sad and serious, just as anna commended...haha..another gal which I cherish alot and leaving to overseas...yeap, the pain of loss will come soon after she leave, just like the time mun yee leave.. no, I am not starting to become a sad person even as I start to be aware that the world is a place of hurts but then I will look up n smile, for thr is a FORCE bigger than the hurts...i m also suprise by the FORCE, the way HE heal me in issue I never thought exist...the joy which is the strength from HIM...
as times alwiz allow changes to happen..i am starting to miss gud time that i have with ppl n begin to form memories, a sign of growing old as only ppl with handful of memory can do dat...honestly, i miss the time when me, aaron n dan is on holidays, coz we practically hang out the whole day bfore prayer meet n all... now, we r bz with our degree n all..rarely have time for us to hang out n talk (sometimes serious stuff like God, CF, ppl n life, sometimes just crap like games, anime n jokes, lol..fine, its not crap but guys talk)..the two fella is 2 bro in Christ dat i wouldnt trade with anything...i thx God for the friendship form between us, who say gurl n guy cannot have pure friendship? i m close to them, thx to CF, maybe thats keep us together as frens...another precious memory is the bedroom talk n time in anna house... I put the memory close to my heart, a time of bounding with girl..another deep desire of mine, which is to have a God given sisterhood..I at time also vividly remember the time spend with mun yee and joram...a time which will alwiz be a part of me no matter how long. I praise God that HE connect me with this sis in Christ, mun yee and knowing that we will stick together in life, for we have been through tears n joy together..haha, i can't forget the time when we cry together n even fight against each other, yet we made it up with God help...the memory is so fresh, like a still hot just printed paper by photocopy machine.. For joram loo, i thx u for teaching me n believing in me....
Realizing alot of things and continuing to do so..as my Prince continue to pour into my cup...I will drink and drink till I m full...more to come....till next time....

-9:00 AM
This is the revised version
Was prompted to buy this book when it is in my hand...its like love at first sight (it nvr exist in relationship, plz don't ever believe to this lie) I read it and i noe it is God working for me to buy it... coz i cry every night after the book..God literally heal me using the book.. Establishing the essence of me as a women a.k.a female (He created human in His likeness-male and female He created them. Went through a season of God inserting the identity of being HIS bride..HE show me how HE love me for who I am (women), how HE assure me of my worth.. tis book also impart the way to be lily white (set apart) for the Lover... how God wants to heal and throw away all the other lovers, part time lovers... HE want us to give our pen to HIM, so that He can writes the best love story . I was overflow of God love as HE work in me through this book, i can only weep and weep out of my need and longing to be love.. HE show me how gentle,beautiful and intimate HE is. HE let me realize HE put a hole in us, which can only be filled by HIM alone, if not loneliness and emptiness will be in our life. U ask me wat i need now, LOVE from the lover of my soul. So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. Psalm 45:11 KJV - as she writes- inside every young women is a princess in search of her prince..
as for gals that will do this book with me, i shall share more (more means alot alot ahaha)

God noes the desire or my one question- Am I beautiful..every girl want to know that, we are born to desire a fairy tale. But in a fallen world, we believe in too many lies and are wounded... HE want me to know that I m beautiful deep down... how I want daddy to say that I am beautiful, how much i need the love from daddy, its how we are created... Femine is a characteristic of God- inviting, captivating, alluring, giving rest, love and gentleness, caring, strength and stirring... the first four chapter is funny where the last 4 chapter is healing and love...
These two are very beautiful book...most importantly books that bring impact and realization of how we are created...Healing and love comes as well throught this two books (God working of course)
-7:52 AM

we does not function as a church, but a medium to lead them to church... a medium to touch the peers, fellowship and bring salvation.
we have to rearrange the commitee too.. we are still doing it as clement join us back.... since some of the commitee status is still in arrangement, so i won't be disclosing..
We decided to use the telecommunication like digi, celcom and hotlink for each month.. don't worry, they won't sue us for copyright.. we just have the idea of using their tagline- for september, it will be digi month- where we used the tagline of I will follow you..

Following month the tagline will be from celcom-this is kdu territory, snacks and drinks will be blue "p ... the issue week will be about what is your limit, how far will u go in touching... then the bible study week, forth week will be speaker, the fifth week we will organize outing.
For November, we will have hotlink- life unlimited (x-pax), the snacks and drinks will be in red +.+ ... the issue week will be what does it means to be live to the fullness, ur gifts and future and etc.. netx week, bible study, following week, speaker...
For every thursday, we will be doing a study on a book named Habitudes - on leadership(habit and attitudes) for 1 hour.

The Inti CF Ushers came and lead us to the meeting room at the appointed time.. after a time of introduction and all... the meeting started..suprisingly with worship..wow was all i can say... coz once we start to worship... the realm just change... its like we reach a different dimension with our worship... God presence is clearly thr... God is moving the new generation..beside P.S Kent and Ray, the rest of us are the new generation or wat ppl call the pioneers which mean we r the generation to start something new..the first generation... There is the new seed God is trying to birth in the pioneers, especially with this event.. Indeed, HE want to work powerfully among us...a new annointing have come... After worship, indeed, it is very encouraging to hear the testimony of the youth especially from inti CF, eg, the visions and dreams God reveal to them and most importanly the passion and love for God... Its heart warming to know a bunch of ppl who walk with God in spirit... one thing for sure, this event will be used by God to touch more ppl than we ever imagine..(p.s, if u wan to noe more about wat God reveal to them, ask me as i m nt sure whether i should disclose it in blog hehe)
The next session is vision casting of this event..how they come out with the vison to have this event and why 1 month only... FIY, 1 month for a RM 20THOUSAND K event...it is a huge event..We need to to fund raising, each of the incharge CF have to do fund raising for this event... they will give us the offer letter.. we have faith that God will provide us finacially since this event is of HIM... if u happen to stumble to my blog and read this, if u can, pls contribute (amount depend on u) =) thx first .
All KDU cf commitee can say is indeed this rally is God will.. we were praying for interCF event or to visit others CF..now with this event, our prayer is answered..we can now establish a network with other CF just as we are praying for it..Metropolitan share that they don't have many members and are also praying what is the activities and hope to have interCF too, God is a God that answer ur heart desire..Praise God and amen...there are one more CF also share the same testimony..Halleluyah
Another suprise came, P.S Kent (nw working closely with the planet shakers ministry) preaching to us... we thought its a meeting- how come have sermon -only the Father knows ;)
It was a powerful sermon, the encounter of the widow with Jesus- PS Kent challenging us to widen our jar/ capacity...After that, was a round of declaring and worship, asking God to widen our capacity, give us the burden for God to use us and asking God to come to all nation by sing the song save our nations- a powerful declaration for our nation as all of us sing in unity
Last, we are given the task for the event- we are put in charge of promo and marketing and follow up with Inti (after event)

I have been pondering about one thing, it is my desire to grow up that make me sin, we also have this desire to be loved and etc..all kind of desires... God created with beautiful emotions (in His likeness), HE want us to have feelings and desires just as He are.. But wen we fall, satan have captives over our desire, he manipulate and deceive us with our emotions...he can deceive u by using loneliness, pain, hurts to set u in bondage.. God created the hole (loneliness) so that He can feel us with it and only He alone can fill it.. so as we fall, we constanly seek to fill this hole but it won't work (trust me) as this place is only for Him. Eve was tempted and fall, the serpant tempted and stirred her desire to gain wisdom and desire to see things (ur eyes will be opened as the serpant said) God created this desire for wisdom and to see or learn things, HE want us to have the desire to have more wisdom about HIM and to learn about HIM.. HE created with the breath of HIS life, with brains and emotions... of course the satan (deceiver and manipulator) twisted the desire...
new international bible-genesis 2:4-7
You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves

Been joining BUC (Bandar Utama Chapel) since last year October (if I am not mistaken)... Its really nice small congregation and its a cell church... Its great to belong to a family of God-Body of Christ... This year Easter, I have been approached to make decision regarding Baptism. Together with Aaron Tam, we have a talk with our Growth Group (cell) Elder or also known as Pastor, Uncle Hock Seng about it.. Even as that time, God use this time to show me how my church function as a Body of Christ... God let me see how the BUC members support each other (elders opening house to the members, prayers for each other, parenting helps and also funeral time) I see the fellowship thr...Even as Uncle Hock Seng say, Baptism is to proclaim that u now belong to this family of Christ... I also receive Breads in Church which is one of the main functions of church.... btw, i didn't realized how much tis church have people who truly support the members and a place whr God presence comfort instead of condemning or pressuring u when u sin, untill I experience..i won't really reveal the detail of what happen (sorry for no juicy detail- bbtw, i dun think it is juicy at all) as i find it not necessary..wat matters is lessons learned and God forgiveness transfrom me and bring me to another level of submission... He heal me regarding my desire to grow up and break free, I believe in a lie that I am imature and childish as what my parent said since small. I strruggle with inadequate feeling, therefore tries anything to proof that I am capable such as being rebelious and striving hard... I learned from a hard way the first lesson of submissions, still more to come... Praise God for His ever comforting hands and embrace even as I failed Him, assuring me it will be alright with His tender voice... He lifted up all the burden and pressure with His love, only wen I am vulnerable HE can work in me...I can only surrender and abandon myself at that time..When u r the weakest, God is the strongest..Even though it happens about 1 months ago..i will contantly be reminded of it and I won't regret it happens as I truly learned form my mistake.. I won't trade it with anything...For Jesus came to change ashes into Beauty...Thanks for people who stand by me even as this time... God bless

A Perfect Wedding: Inviting the Author of Romance to Make Your Day Beautiful - by leslie and eric ludy --- In this little book, Leslie and I desire to dust off God's ancient path – a path that leads couples to the perfection of marriage intimacy. What makes a perfect wedding, and subsequently, a perfect marriage? The answer is not roses, rhymes, tender rhetoric, or even raw grit and determination. Rather, the Author of romance Himself wants to be your Wedding Planner. A wedding day doesn’t define a great and lasting marriage, but like a pulse, it identifies the life at the center of it. Humanly built wedding days set up couples for humanly marred marriages, but God-crafted wedding days provide a foundation for a beautiful lifetime of profound shared intimacy. A wedding day is a taste of what’s to come. The tenor of a wedding day can often be the tenor of an entire marriage. Is a wedding about you, the bride and groom? Or is it about Someone greater than you? Those who learn the answer to this all-important question correctly unlock the great mystery of marital success. If you are like many other couples in our generation who long for something more than mediocrity in your future marriage, then get off to the right start by assigning God the position of Wedding Coordinator. This book displays how breathtakingly beautiful your wedding day (and your marriage) can be when the Author of lasting love becomes the Guest of Honor. Included with this book is a CD of five original wedding songs that Leslie and I wrote and recorded in our own studio – each song is an expression of one of the specific truths written about in this book, and each one includes a performance track as well. One of our favorite songs on this album is a new wedding version of Faithfully – the full-length song that was originally included with When God Writes Your Love Story. Couples all around the country have used Faithfully in their weddings to express the beauty of a God-written love story.
When Dreams Come True: a love story only God could write by eric and leslie ludy- Whenever anyone says to us, “So tell us about your love story” we tell them to read When Dreams Come True. Our love story, in our humble opinion, was (and is) one of the most amazing in the history of the world. Not because of our own romantic ability – rather, because God Himself scripted the details. All of the struggles, doubts, hopes, fears, failures and triumphs of our relationship are captured in this book. During our single years and throughout our love story, Leslie and I both kept detailed journals, which we drew from when putting this book together. As a result, this story provides an intimate peak inside our hearts and minds during the process of building a God-written love story. It’s written like a novel, but the story is true. If you want a clear example of what a Heaven-built romance can look like, this is the book for you. If you have ever struggled with the idea of giving God full control of this area of your life, this book will offer you a refreshing vision of hope
When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships by Eric and Leslie Ludy- This book has provided the foundation for a whole new way of thinking about relationships among today’s younger generation. Rather than building a love story the way the world does (with a few Christian morals tacked on for good measure) this book introduces readers to a far superior way of building a love story…God’s way. After all, God is the One who invented the concept of romance in the first place! And God doesn’t need to imitate the world’s way of building a relationship…He has His very own perfect, amazing, beautiful way of writing a love story, and it is far more fulfilling and romantic than anything Hollywood could ever concoct. Leslie and I believe that the foundation for an amazing, lifelong love story begins even before you meet your future spouse, by allowing the Author of romance to script your love story and show you how to love like He loves. Rather than chasing after temporary relationships, this book challenges readers to give the “pen” to God and allow Him to script their love story in His own perfect time and way. In this book, we take readers through the “Four Secrets to an Amazing Love Story” – practical things that you can do now to prepare for a love story that will go the distance. From learning to love your spouse even before you meet them, to understanding the difference between mere abstinence and true purity; from practicing the skills of tenderness and selflessness that will make you a superhero spouse, to experiencing God’s best in your single years; from understanding renewed purity to making your parents your teammates – this book is loaded with inspiration, motivation, and practical insight for experiencing a God-written love story.
"Sit Walk Stand"Watchman Nee- An inspiring look at Ephesians and the believer's association with Christ, the world, and Satan. A classic by Watchman Nee
"God Of Abraham Isaac And Jacob"Watchman Nee-
The Christian life is based on the irrevocable promises of God, the enjoyment of all that God has prepared for us in Christ, and the transformation that results from the loving discipline of the Spirit. In The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Watchman Nee draws upon the experiences of these Old Testament patriarchs and presents their lives as an allegory of the complete Christian experience. From our response to God's promises by faith to our ultimate transformation into sons who are conformed to the image of Christ, we must pass through the same life experiences of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like Abraham, we have been given the promise of God for the inheritance; like Isaac, we can enjoy all that God has planned for us in Christ His Son; and like Jacob, we must experience the discipline of the Holy Spirit for the sake of our growth and transformation
"Holy Spirit and Reality"Watchman Nee- The Christian Life seemingly involves many outward matters and things, such as Baptism, the Breaking of Bread, Worship, Praise, Prayer, Forgiveness, Humility, and Love For One Another. As such, it is easy to focus on these things but miss the spiritual reality behind them. This reality is the Holy Spirit. Apart from the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Reality, all of these things, no matter how faithfully practiced, are merely outward conduct that is devoid of any real inward spiritual content. Here, Watchman Nee speaks of the believer's need to advance from outward practices to a genuine, spiritual living that is centered on knowing and experiencing the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is actively working to reveal Himself to us and to discipline us so that we may be guided into God's reality.

Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life under Christ's Control by
Elisabeth Elliot,
Joshua Harris (Foreword by),
Ruth Bell Graham (Introduction)
From the PublisherPopular seminar speaker Elisabeth Elliot has written a book about bringing one's love life under the authority of Jesus Christ. She gives direction in such areas as singleness or marriage, putting God's desires ahead of personal desires, what men look for in a woman, virginity and chastity, and the man's and woman's role in relationships.
Quest for Love: True Stories of Passion and Purity by
Elisabeth ElliotFrom the Publisher"What if I never marry - will God take that desire away?" "I have deep feelings for this guy, but he says I am like a sister to him. What should I do?" "Why should a man still be expected to initiate romance?" These are just a few of the questions posed in letters to Elisabeth Elliot by readers of her best-selling book Passion and Purity. In Quest for Love, Elliot shares many of these letters and responds to the writers' heartfelt needs and confusion with sound, biblical guidance. With warmth and humor, she dusts off "antiquated" concepts such as commitment, integrity, honor, and servanthood, and then applies them to dating and singleness today. Quest for Love is brimming with true stories about how men and women find each other. Some of the stories end unhappily and serve as wake-up calls to those on the edge of making serious mistakes. Others, including moving love stories of Christian heroes, give testimony to "a faithful shepherd bringing people together." The tales in this book reveal that the key to a great love life is adhering to high moral standards - no matter how old-fashioned they seem - and daily committing matters of the heart to Christ.
Why a Daughter Needs a Dad: A Hundred Reasons
by
Gregory E. Lang,
Janet Moran (Photographer),
Janet Lankford-Moran (Photographer)
From the PublisherThe relationship between father and daughter almost defies description. Nurtured with love, the relationship strengthens and brings out the best in both, softening the rough edges of fathers and providing strength and security for their daughters. Why a Daughter Needs a Dad is one father's loving reflection upon what he brings - or hopes to bring - to his daughter's life. The warmth of hugs and laughter, the comfort of familiarity, the creation of a history from which both he and his daughter may draw - these things make up the warmhearted relationship he enjoys with his daughter and shares with readers in this sensitive and thoughtful book. Janet Lankford - Moran's photographs warmly illustrate many of the unique aspects of the ways fathers and daughters relate to one another.
The result is a book that will inspire fathers to embrace the irreplaceable role they play in their daughters' lives, to provide them with the love, nurture, and support they seek, and to enjoy the blessings that come back to them many times over.
Why a Daughter Needs a Mom by
Gregory LangFrom the PublisherMothers and daughters often see themselves when they look at each other: mothers seeing themselves as a child again and daughters glimpsing the woman they will likely become. While this can be frightening at times, it also can be comforting. A daughter needs her mother to tell her the journey from girl to woman is more exciting than frightening and, with the blessing of children and grandchildren, the journey never ends. In his relationship with his own daughter, Greg Lang admits that while she once was his “playful partner in crime” and “most adoring audience,” she now turns to her mother for consolation and understanding. “Mothers are the best listeners,” he writes, “whether the news is good or bad. Moms know the reason for tears need not always be explained, but a big hug, a laugh, and chocolate always make things brighter.” A mom is a daughter’s role model through each stage of life, and wise and fortunate mothers are able to stay one step ahead of their daughters’ development along the way. A mother’s comfort soothes hurt feelings from playground to prom, from first-job pitfalls to first-pregnancy concerns. There is no substitute in a daughters’ life for Mom. With charming photographs of mothers and daughters of various backgrounds and ages, Why a Daughter Needs a Mom will inspire mothers everywhere to empower their daughters to reach their full potential in becoming strong, purposeful, independent women.

• "Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades, and friends-but only one mother in the whole wide world."-Kate Douglas Wiggin

• "Every beetle is a gazelle in the eyes of its mother."—Moorish Proverb
• It took me years to realize that when you told me I looked tired or that my hair was dirty, you did it out of love, not criticism.

You're Wearing That?: Understanding Mothers and Daughters in Conversation by
Deborah TannenFrom the PublisherDeborah Tannen's #1 New York Times bestseller You Just Don’t Understand revolutionized communication between women and men. Now, in her most provocative and engaging book to date, she takes on what is potentially the most fraught and passionate connection of women’s lives: the mother-daughter relationship.It was Tannen who first showed us that men and women speak different languages. Mothers and daughters speak the same language–but still often misunderstand each other, as they struggle to find the right balance between closeness and independence. Both mothers and daughters want to be seen for who they are, but tend to see the other as falling short of who she should be. Each overestimates the other’s power and underestimates her own. Why do daughters complain that their mothers always criticize, while mothers feel hurt that their daughters shut them out? Why do mothers and daughters critique each other on the Big Three–hair, clothes, and weight–while longing for approval and understanding? And why do they scrutinize each other for reflections of themselves? Deborah Tannen answers these and many other questions as she explains why a remark that would be harmless coming from anyone else can cause an explosion when it comes from your mother or your daughter. She examines every aspect of this complex dynamic, from the dark side that can shadow a woman throughout her life, to the new technologies like e-mail and instant messaging that are transforming mother-daughter communication. Most important, she helps mothers and daughters understand each other, the key to improving their relationship.With groundbreaking insights,pitch-perfect dialogues, and deeply moving memories of her own mother, Tannen untangles the knots daughters and mothers can get tied up in. Readers will appreciate Tannen’s humor as they see themselves on every page and come away with real hope for breaking down barriers and opening new lines of communication. Eye-opening and heartfelt, You’re Wearing That? illuminates and enriches one of the most important relationships in our lives.
I Only Say This because I Love You: Talking to Your Parents, Partner, Sibs, and Kids when You're All Adults by

My relatives came over my hse on thurs... i came back home on fri to have dinner with them and after dat we went for movie (which is my emphasis here and pardon me if i go off track) so the whole car full of excited 4 teens (my 2 brothers and 2 cousins) and 2 young adults (me and my other cousin)...after much discussion and deciding...we went to cineleisure in the curve and movie on our pick is 200 pounds beauty (a korean movie) when you hear about korean movie, run to the nearest store and buy few boxes of tissues (and yes I am exaggerating it) The plot of korean movie come normally with a package of tears and laugther...
We have about 1 hour plus before the clock tick 12am which is the movie time... we found a snooker and football machine place...so the time is fill with fun and shout from the games...ahaha, first time playing snooker...(yes, i know the jaw is drooping as a result of suprise) btw, i di hit in some balls =)
Here come the review of 200 pounds beauty movie :
To summarizes it... i personally think this movie is out regarding the rise of plastic surgery in korean ladies. It is a rising idustry and profit...dats y business people lovesss ladies, their eyes shine with money as ladies will spend loads of money for beauty purposes...well, pro and cons is thr...
This movie revolves around the glamour life of singer and producers....of course, not forgeting our ugly fat duckling the heroin...the glamour life of our singer, the pretty and hot singer but (notice the but), she is not talented with notes... our heroin which have a angelic and powerful voice plus heart...FIY, she fall in love with the producer, the hero..
At the hero birthday, heroin's heart broke when she accidently heard that the singer and hero are using her for profit...she eventually seek resolve by having plastic surgery...enduring all the agony of knives cutting her flesh.
our heroin turn from a fat, ugly duckling to a beautiful swimming swarm...leaving all the guys stirred up and stalking her...She later find herself being a replacement to the once fat and ugly self... this time, she is introduce as a star for her look and voice...
She also rekindle her romance with the hero... (watch the movie to know)
The singer was jealous and angry of heroin as she was getting all attention and the singer is losing her place..so she set to find out more about her identity...
the concert is the highlight..where heroin force herself to go on stage...the moment she see her dad dancing in front (she refuse to recognize her dad before that and shoo him away as some stalker fans..her fren who backup singer with her before this took the dad away and is angry over her) she cry and stooped the guard from shooing her dad at the concert... in tears she tell the truth out- who she is and why she did it.. she finally found herself back... she apologised for what she did...the crowds encourage her and concert continue in tears....her fren came to the stage in back up singer helping her to finish the song as she can't hold her tears..she went down and hug her dad...
she is still a singer but using her real name after that...she concentrate in her singing and taking care of her mentally ill dad which assume her as his wife...
one point, girls struggle with issue whether they are desirable or not... eventough they are pretty, they still wander around searching affirmation of opposite sex...they want to know whether they have people desire and love them or not. I too struggle with this...it only improve when I allow God to work in this area. God will constanly remind me of how desirable I am...only He our bridegroom can satisfy the needs of being love...for He put in our hearts the longing...He want us to be satisfy in His love alone.

Slowly, as I run to Him...He reveal to me His heart desire and I reveal my desire, weakness, strength, loneliness and struggle, etc...
He assure me of His love by bringing me to places like beach watching sunsets and sunrise...He also bring me to a places whr I am covered by roses... at these place, HE will tell me He love me and how desirable I am to HIM...tears of joy and healing rolling down like waterfall from my cheeks as I was healed from the lie and words that I am nothing, unworthy and undesirable... freedom from rejection... with HIM, I found the true freedom that i crave and long for, I now can be like the horse running freely at the green pastures...even better, i am flying in HIS arm

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
-12:52 AM
Gifts of Prophecy and TonguesFollow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.
But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?
Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. I then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.
For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. In the Law it is written:
"Through men of strange tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,"says the Lord.
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers. So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"
Orderly WorshipWhat then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
From this, u can c dat God is a structred God and He want everything in orderly.... He command the instruction becoz at dat time the people missuse the gift of tongues and prophesy. They even talk to each other in tongue. Speaking in tongue is a way we communicate with God and dat devil will not understand wat we are telling God.The Lord is also concern about non-believers as He is worried dat speaking in tongue might draw non-believers away and even scared them...God is concern also dat we dun stumble our brother or sister in Christ. For example in 1 Corinthians 10 - So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble.
1 Corinthians- Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak
But God do want us to have the gift...He want us to use it for His glory...=)

I am on holidays...whew....but i still in kdu....never get one day of free from kdu... bz with chirstian fellowship and campus friends (basically both abreviation is cf haha) cf camp is coming so we have planning to do (some problem occur but by God grace it is overcome d and we are raring for the camp) God will alwiz be with us, Emanuel! Everything is able in Him as God say, is thr anything big enough for me? for Christian Fellwoship, prayer meet is on as usual at 5pm...we also have to set up booth to promote fri christian fellowship meeting...nowadays i on9 alot as i m waiting for the booth and prayer or commitee meet time to come...was quite tired and discourage at the booth wen thr is no one to help me...but God alwiz encourage me and He nvr forsake me...oh ya..i have anxiety over my exam result as well...(scary, result is coming out soon and i am really worry) I remember this verse at this time- in the multitude of my anxieties, God comforts light up my soul.. well, nowadays as i focus on God and receive Him, He show me more of His holy, perfect and unconditional love...i now realized the importance of soaking (receiving God love and presence) He is really working wen u surrender urself unto His hands, wen we decrease, He increase =p God love is holy as in He is above all the creation and He hate sin...He is never associated with anything unpure or sinful...that is why when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." read Luke 5:1-8 for the whole verse.. why peter responded like dat when Jesus net is overflow with fish? peter can ask Jesus to teach him the way to catch fish like Jesus do instead of asking Jesus to leave them...This is because peter came to realized dat God is holy and God hate sin. of course we are sinners and yet God love us so much dat He give us Jesus, His only begotten son. peter kneel down and confess to Jesus dat he is of a sinful man...it act a sermon from covlife church (youth retreat mission camp)...
Some people claim dat they find it hard to receive God or how to receive Him or feel dat He is far from us... wat u can try is open some worship songs and sing...let the song prepare your heart to ponder on His love and den slowly invite holy spirit to come into your hearts (God is our gardener, He will plant seed in our heart, nurture it, water it and let it become a forest) one very important thing is u can't reasoned too much about God, u received Him with a child like faith...God also says that faith is something u dun c but believe in...thr is one verse- blessed are those who doesn't c but choose to belive in me...btw, God is nvr far from us but it is us who are far from Him..constantly communicate with God, He wan to hear u =p God also remind us of the importance of choosing the right friends. A righteous man is cautious in friendship,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." (Proverbs 7:17) "Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits." He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." (Proverbs 13:20) read the article for more understanding-
http://www.bible-knowledge.com/bible-friends.html=) Ps: Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. hoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:11
btw..can't wait for my next semester =) my final semester...times flies! wish i can strive more for God

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets
of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the
roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen ,
spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm
thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some
fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all
that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield
wipers are like God wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's really good, Aspen."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take
this revelatio! n? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain
keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:
"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some
water

READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
This is a Thomas Kinkade painting.

Jesus Test
This is an easy test, you score 100 or zero. It's your choice. If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.
Jesus said, "if you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
Not ashamed Pass this on . . . only if you mean it.
Yes, I do Love God.
He is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and everyday.
Without Him, I will be nothing. !
Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
Phil 4:13

This is the simplest test. If you Love God, and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you.

L - Life - Long commitment
O - Other - Centred lifestyle
V - Value - Based decision
E - Empowered - Growth relationship
For all you people who say, "I love you"
when you
have no clue what love is exactly!!!
Something to ponder upon...
Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing
and is
your voice caught within your chest?
It isn't love, it's LIKE.
You can't keep your eyes or hands off of
her/him?
It isn't love, it's LUST.
Are you proud, and eager to show her/him off?
It isn't love, it's LUCK.
Do you want her because you know she's/he's
there?
It isn't love, it's LONELINESS.
Are you with her/him because it's what
everyone
wants?
It isn't love, it?s LOYALTY.
Are you with her because she/he kissed you,
or
held your hand?
It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE.
Do you stay for her/him confessions of love,
because you don't want to hurt her/him?
It isn't love, it's PITY.
Do you belong to her/him because the sight
of
her/him makes your heart skip a beat?
It isn't love, it's INFATUATION.
Do you pardon her faults because you care
about
her/him?
It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP.
Do you tell her/him every day she is the only
one
you think of?
It isn't love, it's a LIE.
Are you willing to give up all of your favorite
things
or her sake?
It isn't love, it's CHARITY.
====================
====================
Does your heart ache and break when she's
sad?
Then it's LOVE.
Do you cry for her/his pain, even when
she's/he's
strong?
Then it's LOVE.
Do her/his eyes see your true heart, and touch
your soul so deeply it hurts?
Then it's LOVE.
Do you stay because a blinding,
incomprehensible
mix of pain and relation pulls you close and
holds
you to her/him?
Then it's LOVE.
Do you accept her/his faults because it's a
part of
who she/he is?
Then it's LOVE.
Are you attracted to others, but stay with
her/him
faithfully without regret??
Then it's LOVE.
Would you give her/him your heart, your life,
your
death??
Then it's LOVE.
Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so,
why do
we love? Why is it all we search for in life?
This
pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for?
This
torture, this powerful death of self? Why? The
answer is so simple cause it's...LOVE. It is
such
an addictive thing that even people who are
not
having it wish to experience it and share it
with
others as well.
Pass this to all your friends so they don't
make the
same mistake with their LOVE LIVES!! I like
the
dreams of the future better than the history of
the
past...
Love hurts our feeling, but it's also the reason
our
soul heal...
Jesus love is sacrificing, how amazing is such love and grace?
only Jesus love can heal us!!! His love is perfect and unconditional!
He is the truth, the way and life!!
He is our hope, love, peace and care!!

It's so terrible.....
Please Read This...
Last week a 3 year old girl (in South Africa) was beaten and raped.
She is still alive. The man responsible was released on bail yesterday.
He is walking the streets. If you are too busy to read this then just
sign your name and forward this on.
The South African Government is planning to close the Child Protection
Unit and this is a petition against it. This is a very important
petition. It is an essential part of the justice system for children.
You may
have already heard that there's a myth in South Africa that having sex
with a virgin will cure AIDS. The younger the virgin, the more potent
the cure. This has led to an epidemic of rapes by infected males, with
the correspondent infection of innocent kids. Many have died in these
cruel rapes.
Recently in Cape Town, a 9-month-old baby was raped by 6 men. Please
think about that for a moment. The child abuse situation is now
reaching
catastrophic proportions and if we don't do something, then who will?
Kindly add your name to the bottom of the list and please pass this on
to as many people as you know.If you are signature no.120 - please
forward
the mail-list to childprotectpca@saps.org.za

mailto:childprotectpca@saps.org.za
org.za&YY=43030&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b>>
Please don't be complacent, do something about the kids of South
Africa.
You can make a difference. That child is fighting for life.
This is just one of the million cases of child abuse, so please pledge
your support and help keep CPU (CHILD PROTECTION UNIT) open. Please
give your support to the petition and ensure that it goes to as many
people as possible.
Please don't just leave it, make a difference. In order to write your
name copy this message and paste it in a new mail (compose).
Or click on forward, delete all headers belonging to previous senders,
add your name to the list and send it on to others.

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape ...
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape...
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything ...
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...
A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her ...
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone...
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them...
A strong woman walks sure footedly ...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls...
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face ...
but a woman of strength wears grace...
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey ...
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong...

OUR LORD’s PRAYEROur Father Who Art In Heaven.Yes?Don't interrupt me. I'm praying.But -- you called Me! Called you? No, I didn't call you. I'm praying. Our Father who art in Heaven. There -- you did it again!Did what? Called Me. You said, "Our Father who art in Heaven" Well, here I am. What's on your mind? But I didn't mean anything by it. I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day. I always say the Lord's Prayer. It makes me feel good, kind of like fulfilling a duty. Well, all right. Go on.Okay, Hallowed be thy name . .Hold it right there. What do you mean by that?By what?By "Hallowed be thy name"? It means, it means . . good grief, I don't know what it means. How in the world should I know? It's just a part of the prayer. By the way, what does it mean? It means honored, holy, wonderful.Hey, that makes sense. I never thought about what 'hallowed' meant before. Thanks. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Do you really mean that?Sure, why not?What are you doing about it?Doing? Why, nothing, I guess. I just think it would be kind of neat if you got control, of everything down here like you have up there.
We're kinda in a mess down here you know.Yes, I know; but, have I got control of you?Well, I go to church. That isn't what I asked you. What about your bad temper? You've really got a problem there, you know. And then there's the way you spend your money, all on yourself. And what about the kind of books you read?Now hold on just a minute! Stop picking on me!I'm just as good as some of the rest of those people at church! Excuse Me. I thought you were praying for my will to be done. If that is to happen, it will have to start with the ones who are praying for it. Like you -- for example.Oh, all right. I guess I do have some hang-ups.
Now that you mention it, I could probably name some others.I haven't thought about it very much until now, but I really would like to cut out some of those things.I would like to, you know, be really free. Good. Now we're getting somewhere. We'll work together. You and Me. I'm proud of You. Look, Lord, if you don't mind, I need to finish up here. This is taking a lot longer than it usually does. Give us this day, our daily bread. You need to cut out the bread. You're overweight as it is. Hey, wait a minute! What is this? Here I was doing my religious duty, and all of a sudden you break in and remind me of all my hang-ups. Praying is a dangerous thing. You just might get what you ask for. Remember, you called ME -- and here I am.It's too late to stop now. Keep praying. ( . . . pause . . ) Well, go on.
I'm scared to.Scared? Of what?I know what you'll say.Try Me !Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. What about Ann? See? I knew it! I knew you would bring her up! Why, Lord, she's told lies about me, spread stories. She never paid back the money she owes me. I've sworn to get even with her!But -- your prayer -- What about your prayer?I didn't -- mean it. At least not in her case. Well, at least you're honest about it. But, it's quite a load carrying around all that bitterness and resentment isn't it?
Yes, but I'll feel better as soon as I get even with her. Revenge is sweet you know.Boy, have I got some plans for her. She'll wish she had never been born. No, you won't feel any better. You'll feel worse. Revenge isn't sweet at all.You know how unhappy you are -- Well, I can change that.You can? How?Forgive Ann. Then, I'll forgive you; And the hate and the sin, will be Ann's problem -- not yours. You will have settled the problem as far as you are concerned.Oh, you know, you're right. You always are. And more than I want to get even, I want to be right with You . (sigh).All right . . . O.K.. . I forgive her.There now! Wonderful! How does that feel?Hmmmm. Well, not bad. Not bad at all! In fact, I feel pretty great! You know, I don't think I'll go to bed uptight tonight.I haven't been getting much rest, you know.Yeah, I know. But, you're not through with your prayer are you? Go on.Oh, all right. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Good! Good! I'll do that. Just don't put yourself in a place where you can be tempted.What do you mean by that? You know what I mean.Yeah. I know.Okay. Go ahead. Finish your prayer.For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.Do you know what would bring me glory. What would really
make me happy?No, but I'd like to know. I want to please you now. I've really made a mess of things. I want to truly follow you. I can see now how great that would be.So, tell me . . How do I make you happy?You just did.

SOARING LIKE EAGLES
Before you read, i would like to thank Aaron for passing this to me during cf camp at peacehaven.. I think these lessons are relevant for all you eagles out there..6 Lessons From Eagles"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."Isaiah 40:31Have you ever wondered why Isaiah 40:31 is written the way it is?Q 1 :: Why is the Eagle mentioned specifically?Q 2 :: What so special about Eagles that they have a place in the Bible?Q 3 :: What is the linkage between waiting upon the Lord and renewal of strength?Q 4 :: Why is it that when you mount up with wings like eagles, you do not get tired?Read on and you will find the answer.The eagle is a creation of God. It is the most majestic of all birds and is mentioned many times in the Bible. In fact, the eagle is mentioned 38 times, much more than the dove or other birds.An eagle is around 90cm tall and reaches over 2m between the wings. She builds her nest on the cliff or in a high tree. The nest is so large that a human can sleep in it. It can weigh 700kg and is also comfortable.With the basis of God's Word, we shall see what the king of birds can show us concerning truths about God, and also about Christians. May the pracital lessons contained here be of encouragement to you. God Bless.Lesson 1 :: All Baby Eagles Must Learn To FlyHigh in the mountains, a baby eagle is born. Like all other babies, there are two things that baby eagles, known as eaglets love to do: Eat and sleep. The baby eagle would spend its initial life in the comfort of the nest. Everyday, mama eagle would find food and drop it directly into the open mouths of the hungry eaglet. With a satisfied stomach, the eaglet then goes to sleep and the cycle continues when it becomes hungry again.This goes on for a few weeks, until one day, mama eagle would just hover over the nest. This time, there is no food. After hovering a few rounds, mama eagle would make a dive into the nest and begins to shake it violently. She then takes one of her babies in her mouth and starts soaring into the skies. The baby eaglet begins to tremble, "Mama is mad! Mama is mad!". Suddenly she drops the baby eaglet that starts to struggle. Just before the eaglet smashes againt the rocks, mama eagle would sweep down and pick it up. This goes on for about five to eight times. The eaglet starts to wonder why mama is doing this. Every time it is being froppwed from the sky, the eaglet would streggle by flapping its wings."Mama can fly. I want to fly liker her too!" the eaglet says to itself.What a beautiful picture! Mama is teaching her young to fly. At about the fourteenth of fifteenth try, the eaglet begins to fly.Relevance :: Christians are like baby eagles, comfortable in the nest. They come to church once a week to find food. They would wait for pastor to drop "spiritual" food into their mouths. When the service is over, they would go home, "sleep" for a few days and the cycle continues, until one day, something happens and they streggle. The nest gets shaken and they dont know what to do."Its the devil! Its the devil!" they exclaim. No, its not! Its just our loving Father who allows our nest to be shaken because He wants us to grow into maturity, so that we can fly. Its no point being an eagle that cannot fly.The Word of God says in Exodus 19:4 that God bare the children of Israel on eagles wings. Here we see the eagle symbolises God, The way mama eagle treats her young shows us how God treats His children. Just when it seems like were going under.. SWISH.. like mama eagle, God, comes and picks us up.In the world, they pish people upward when they are going up. But God lets us fall down to get us up. Hard times come, but after a couple of times I start to pray a little bit more, I start to read God's word a little bit more. And suddenly I realise that the answers to my prayers are coming.hard times always come but I find Im not helpless, no, I see that I can stand on Gods word. What has happened? Ice learned to spread my wings! Ive learned to fly. GOD carries us supernaturally through all our trials, even if we dont feel it. Yea, who can see the wind. While mama eagle teaches her young to use their own wings, God teaches us to believe His Word and use our Faith.Lessons 2 :: Eagles Are Made For The High PlacesUnlike other birds that fly in the lowlands, eagles are made to fly in the high places, out of sight of the naked human eye and out of range of the hunters rifle.Relevance ::God made us to fly in the high places, free from the worlds control. A tourist to the Jurong Bird Park once commented that the eagles there looked very clean. In reply, the bird keeper said: "When eagles are in freedom, they are the cleanest birds. But when they are in captivity, they are the dirtiest."God made us pure and holy to conform to the image of His Son. If Christians are in captivity, that is, being subjected to the ways of the world, we can be there "dirtiest" of all creatures. Unless we "fly" in the high places, out of the worlds control, and according to how God has made us, well maintain the dirtiest of creatures.Lesson 3 :: Eagles So Not Fly, They SoarEagles do not fly like other birds, flapping their wings profusely and using their own strength. Instead, eagles SOAR majestically, making use of the wind currents to gain height. What makes the eagle so special is that she sits on the rock and reads the wind and when the time is perfect she takes off and soars upward with her great wings. There is a special up-going wind where the eagle rides the wind and circle high and higher toward the sky, without effort. She just spreads her wings.Relevance:The wind is referred many times in the Bible as the Holy Spirit. We can learn to cooperate with the Hily Spirit and let Him lift us closer to Jesus. The eagle in this case is the Christian who is being lifted by the Holy Spirit up and closer to Jesus.Like eagles, we should learn to ride on the current of the Holy Spirit, instead of relying on our own strength. Only then can we "gain height" to "fly" in the high places. Isaiah 40:31 talks about growing in Christ, that happens when we have fellowship with Him in the Spirit.Lesson 4 :: Eagles Go Through Specific Periods Of RenewalWhen they are about 60 years old, eagles go through a period of renewal. An eagle would find a secret place up in the mountains. It would start to claw at its face and tear out the feathers that have been damages over the years. As a result, it would bleed badly. The eagle would then wait patiently for the rays of the sun to heal it.Through this, the eagle renews its strength by getting rid of the unnecessary things. Otherwise it would not be able to live till 120 years that it normally does.Relevance ::Like eagles, Christians need to go through a renewal period sometime in our lives to rid ourselves of the unnecessary things and to wait upon the Lord. Renewal is a divine principal where God cuts off the unfruitful things in us so as to bring out the fruitful.Lesson 5 :: Eagles Get Sick, Just Like HumansWhen an eagle gets sick, it does not go to the doctor. It simply finds a favourite spot in the mountains and await the rays of the sun to heal it. The sun plays a major role in the life of an eagle and as such, is a major source of healing too.Relevance ::When we get sick, besides going to the doctor, do we also look to the Lord who plays a major role in our lives as our source of healing?Lesson 6 :: Every Eagle Has To DieWhen an eagle is about to die, it will fly to its favourite spot in the mountains, wraps its wings round itself and look at the suns rays and dies.Relevance ::Ideally, all Christians should die looking towards Jesus as our source of hope and comfort.Isaiah 40:31 -- "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Start of Something New
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Start of something new

When There Was Me and You
It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care'
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
Thats coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
Once upon a song
Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you

I was in a convenience store one day, standing in line behind a man paying for his groceries. When he was finished, the clerk sent him off with a cheery "Have a great day!"
To the clerk's surprise (and mine) the man exploded in anger. "This is one of the worst days of my life," he shouted. "How can I have a great day?" And with that he stormed out of the store.
I understand the man's frustration; I too have "bad" days over which I have no control. How can I have a great day, I ask myself, when it's beyond my control? Then I remember these words: "This is the day the Lord has made" (Psalm 118:24).
The Lord has made every day, and my Father will show Himself strong on my behalf today. He has control over everything in it—even the hard things that will come my way. All events have been screened through His wisdom and love, and they are opportunities for me to grow in faith. "His mercy endures forever" (v.1). "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear" (v.6).
Now, when people give me the parting admonition to have a great day, I reply, "That's beyond my control, but I can be grateful for whatever comes my way, and rejoice—for this is the day the Lord has made." —

Dr. Cliff Arnall, a British psychologist, has developed a formula to determine the worst day of the year. One factor is the time elapsed since Christmas, when the holiday glow has given way to the reality of credit-card bills. Gloomy winter weather, short days, and the failure to keep New Year's resolutions are also a part of Dr. Arnall's calculations. Last year, January 24 received the dubious distinction of being "the most depressing day of the year."
Christians are not immune to the effects of weather and post-holiday letdown, but we do have a resource that can change our approach to any day. Psalm 118 recounts a list of difficulties including personal distress (v.5), national insecurity (v.10), and spiritual discipline (v.18), yet it goes on to declare, "
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (v.24).
The psalm is filled with a celebration of God's goodness and mercy in the midst of trouble and pain. Verse 14 comes as a shout of triumph: "
The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation."
Even when circumstances hang a sign on our calendar saying "Bad Day!" the Creator enables us to thank Him for the gift of life and to receive each day with joy. —

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.” —Psalm 126:2-3
My grandnephew, his wife, and their daughter are serving as missionaries in New Guinea. He closes his newsletters with these words: “Having fun serving Him.”
With the word fun, he means pleasure, not a sense of amusement. How pleasurable it is to be an instrument in God’s hand—leading people to the Savior, comforting the sick and sorrowing, bringing transformation to troubled marriages, and doing good in the name of Jesus.
I’m quite sure the writer of Psalm 126 would agree. The six verses radiate with a spirit of joy and gladness from beginning to end. The psalm opens with a reminder of a time when God “brought back the captivity of Zion” (v.1). God had miraculously delivered His people from a grave situation (exactly what it was we don’t know). It was like a dream come true—and His people were filled with joy as they responded with refreshing laughter and hearty singing. It was a revival!
After a prayer for another such revival, the psalmist made a promise to all who serve God: “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy” (v.5).
An abundant spiritual harvest can lead to laughter and singing. Yes, serving Him is fun! —

One dark night I was driving through Amish country when I suddenly encountered a black horse carriage slowly clattering down the road, half on the shoulder and half on the blacktop. Only a swaying kerosene lantern glowed in the back to warn me of its presence. It was an unnerving experience. As I drove past, still feeling the effects of a rush of adrenalin, I realized how easily I might have smashed into the rear of the carriage. I concluded that since Amish drivers have never driven automobiles, they don't understand the danger automobiles and trucks pose to them at night.
Most people acknowledge that there is a tremendous amount of superficial, tasteless, and immoral programming on television and radio. Further, most Christians and other people who believe in a personal God sense the entertainment industry's hostility towards biblical values. These circumstances make it tempting for Christian parents to unplug the television, turn off the radio, confiscate CD players, and prohibit movie attendance. Although this response is understandable, such an attempt to completely isolate oneself or one's family from the modern media is likely to backfire.
If Christians react to a largely corrupt media by ignoring it entirely, they face a danger similar to the danger that the Amish face when they ignore the reality of modern, high-speed transportation. Most Christians long for the "good old days" when movies, music, and books were censored (voluntarily, if not officially) and the influence of the entertainment media wasn't so pervasive. But, in spite of corruption and flaws, the media isn't wrong in and of itself. Like automobiles, medicine, electrical power, and most other tools of our modern world, the media can be used for both good and evil.
The Bible tells us that God sent His Son into the world as a light in the darkness. The Light of the world didn't flee from the darkness; He displaced it. As the "children of light" (
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light ), we are God's light-bearers (
Matthew 5:14-16 ;
1 Thessalonians 5:4-8 ), called to expose the "unfruitful works of darkness" and redeem the time (
Ephesians 5:11,16 ).
If we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit and the authority of the Scriptures, we are capable of judging all things (
1 Corinthians 2:15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment). Of course, that doesn't mean we shouldn't exercise discernment in the things we devote time to. We also need to recognize our particular areas of weakness, and not give the devil a foothold in our life by yielding to temptation. Just as earlier generations were able to read literature with understanding and discernment, we can exercise discernment in our use of modern media.

If the wine Jesus created at the wedding of Cana was alcoholic, does this mean that He approved the consumption of alcohol?
The Greek word oinos, translated as "wine" in the New Testament, simply means wine. The Greeks had a different word for grape juice. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia suggests that in New Testament times wine usually existed in a fermented form. It states:
Unfermented grape juice is a very difficult thing to keep without the aid of modern antiseptic precautions, and its preservation in the warm and not overly clean conditions of ancient Palestine is impossible (p.3086).
The references to wine in the New Testament are both positive and negative. For example, John the Baptist's refusal to drink wine was a sign of his special responsibility as the last prophet in the Old Testament tradition, and Jesus was not willing to take wine while on the cross because of His desire to experience fully the "cup of suffering" that His Father had given Him. On the other hand, Jesus used wine to illustrate His teaching. His first miracle was the creation of wine at the marriage in Cana (
John 2:1-11 ), and He used the illustration of "new wine" and "new skins" to stress the need for a change of perspective about the law (
Matthew 9:16-17 ).
Timothy was exhorted by Paul to take a little wine as medicine, while drunkenness is severely condemned (
Romans 13:13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy). The New Bible Dictionary gives the following summary of the New Testament's teaching about the use of alcoholic beverages:
To sum up, then, it may be said that while wine is not condemned as being without usefulness, it brings in the hands of sinful men such dangers of becoming uncontrolled that even those who count themselves to be strong would be wise to abstain, if not for their own sake, yet for the sake of weaker brethren (Romans 14:21).
The June 20, 1975, issue of Christianity Today contained an interesting article by Robert H. Stein: "Wine-Drinking In New Testament Times." He observes that the wine used in ancient times was mixed with water in ratios of up to four parts water to one part wine. Mr. Stein explains:
In the Talmud, which contains the oral traditions of Judaism from about 200 BC to AD 200, there are several tractates in which the mixture of water and wine is discussed. One tractate (Shabbath 77a) states that wine that does not carry three parts water is not wine. The normal mixture is said to consist of two parts water to one part wine. In a most important reference (Pesahim 108b) it is stated that the four cups every Jew was to drink during the Passover ritual were to be mixed in a ratio of three parts water to one part wine. From this we can conclude with a fair degree of certainty that the fruit of the vine used at the institution of the Lord's Supper was a mixture of three parts water to one part wine. In another Jewish reference from around 60 BC, we read, "It is harmful to drink wine alone, or again, to drink water alone, while wine mixed with water is sweet and delicious and enhances one's enjoyment" (II Maccabees 15:39).
Dr. M. R. De Haan expressed his viewpoint concerning the use of wine in moderation:
It is the abuse of wine rather than the use of wine which is strongly condemned in the Scriptures. I know that in European countries, even among Christians, wine is oftentimes used as an appetizer, but not in excess. Personally, I do not use it, and I wish that we could eliminate it entirely. But it is well to remember that the use of wine does not mean the abuse of wine. Certainly it was never meant to be used for the purpose of intoxication, and I believe that it would be a great deal better not to use it at all, seeing the evil to which it often leads
-1:18 AM
In his book Jesus Among Other Gods, Ravi Zacharias tells a story about a girl who became hopelessly lost in a dark and dense forest. She called and screamed, but to no avail. Her alarmed parents and a group of volunteers searched frantically for her. When darkness fell, they had to give up for the night.
Early the next morning the girl’s father reentered the forest to search for her and spied her fast asleep on a rock. He called her name and ran toward her. Startled awake, she threw her arms out to him. As he picked her up and hugged her, she repeated over and over, “Daddy, I found you!”
Applying this story to Mary Magdalene’s search for Jesus in John 20, Zacharias comments: “Mary discovered the most startling truth of all when she came looking for the body of Jesus. She did not realize that the person she had found was the One who was risen, and that He had come looking for her.”
We who believe on Jesus sometimes speak of “finding” Him. But why did we seek Him in the first place? Because, like the shepherd who went out into the darkness to find one lost sheep, God seeks us. He is waiting for us to realize our lostness and reach out to Him. He will pick us up, embrace us, and give us His peace. —

According to Acts 11:26 the DISCIPLES OF CHRIST were called Christians.
...and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
The Greek word for Christian (christianos) is derived from the word Christ (Christos). So likewise today, a person can be considered a Christian if he follows Jesus Christ.
A disciple is someone who strives to understand and imitate his Master. The decisions he makes in his life are based on what he learns from his Master's life and teaching.
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it." (Mark 8:34-35)
According to the New Testament everyone who follows Jesus is also called a child of God.
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God... (John 1:12 NIV)
A follower of Jesus receives the gift of eternal life. He is spiritually reborn, allowing God to lead and form him. A child of God chooses to obey his Father.
By this we know that we have come to know Him if we keep His commandments. The one who says, "I have come to know Him" and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:3-4)
As long as a person refuses to submit his life to the holy God he is spiritually dead because of his sins.
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?" Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:31-36)
Jesus wants everyone to be saved. If a person repents (regrets and turns from his sins), Jesus makes him free. He is made holy by God and is given the power to live a completely new life in God.
...that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. (Ephesians 4:22-24)
Every member of the church has been sanctified (made holy) and is therefore a saint (Philemon 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1).
As children of God all Christians have one Father, God. So the relationship among believers is a brotherly relationship.
But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. But the greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. (Matthew 23:8-12)
He said, "Who are My mother and My brother?" Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother." (Mark 3:33-35)
Therefore we can use the terms disciple, child of God, saint and brother/sister synonymously with Christian.
HOW CAN WE KNOW WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?
Christian life is based on the acceptance of salvation through Jesus Christ. Jesus sets Christians free from sin. He reveals the truth to them so they are able to understand the right teaching about God's nature and live a holy life in his will. Having the right teaching and living according to the will of God are inseparably connected to each other.
Unfortunately there are many so-called churches around today that do not conform to these biblical standards. It is possible to see whether a religious denomination is biblical by thoroughly examining its teaching and lifestyle. It is more difficult though, to see whether the individual members are Christians because there is often a wide range of differing practices and opinions concerning faith within a single group because of the lack of effort made to reach deep unity. However, there are some essential elements belonging to a relationship with God which show clearly who lives with God.
a) LIVING ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD
Becoming a Christian involves a conscious decision to follow Jesus. This is also known as repentance. John 1:12, quoted above, speaks about the necessity of "receiving" or accepting Jesus, showing that becoming a Christian is based on a decision. Not everyone who decides to follow Jesus knows the exact point in time when he made that decision. In some cases the decision to hand control of one's life over to God is the result of gradual positive steps, putting into practice what one has understood, and cannot be pinpointed to a certain date or a special experience.
The consequence of repentance (Greek: metanoia = change of mind) is that the new person sees the world with new eyes. He has a new system of values and lives for other aims than before he knew God. Through repentance the broken relationship between man and his creator is restored and it is through this relationship that a Christian lives according to the will of God. God makes his Holy Spirit to dwell within each Christian, enabling him to live a holy life.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
Repentance means regretting and leaving behind one's former sins and devoting oneself to seeking and doing good.
But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. (Romans 6:17-18)
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:1-2)
The life of a Christian is a continuous process of sanctification. God works within each Christian to conform him more and more to the image of his Son (Romans 8:29). That does not mean that a Christian is without sin for the rest of his life, but that he basically separates from sin. The result of this sanctification must be visible in the life of every Christian (John 15:1-10) because God gives him the power to strive for a holy life (2 Peter 1:3; Romans 6:12-14).
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (Romans 8:2)
The fruit of having a relationship with God is visible in the good a Christian does, manifested principally in brotherly love.
So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. (Galatians 6:10)
Brotherly love (the love among believers) is the sign by which the disciples of Jesus are recognised (John 13:34-35). Brotherly love is based on the decision of each Christian to devote his life to his brothers and sisters.
We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (1 John 3:16)
The knowledge of God's own loving nature is what leads Christians to devote themselves completely to serving God and others.
The one who does not love does not know God for God is love. (1 John 4:8)
...anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. (1 John 3:10)
Relationships among brothers and sisters in faith differ from other relationships because Christians have the same attitude towards life and share the same hope and aim in life. Since a Christian is not in unity with unbelievers in these points the amount of co-operation possible is limited, but even in this case Christians must do what they can to encourage mutual respect and a peaceful coexistence.
"I have been baptised so I am a Christian..."
Some people think that a person becomes a Christian through baptism. In Romans 2:28-29 we can read:
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit...
In the same way it is the inward change that is important for becoming a Christian and baptism is only an outward expression of the inward change.
"I am a good person..."
There is an important difference between being a "good" person and being a Christian. Somebody can have many good attributes, he can even be a devoted helper or a generous person, but these things do not make him a Christian. Good attributes are advantageous for others on a certain level, but they can only be used in the best way after a person has repented to God. If a person wants to be "good" without repenting to God, there is a danger that his "goodness" or "greatness" will cause others to respect and honour him instead of honouring and following Jesus.
The example of the rich man (Luke 18:18-30) also shows that Jesus expects full submission to God from his disciples. The rich man was also a "good" man. No doubt, he really did follow the commandments Jesus mentioned (at least to a certain degree). Nevertheless, he himself sensed that something was still missing for him to receive eternal life. We can see from Jesus' answer that the superficial compliance with a list of laws is not enough. Jesus points out what the man does not want to put in God's hand. Jesus claims ownership over our whole life, as Peter recognised in this situation and said: "We have left our own homes and followed You" (verse 28).
Following Jesus means seeking what God wants to do with our life in all points and in all moments. We must be ready to give up everything because of God. We must turn from our egotism and materialistic pursuits and be ready to let go of our ambitions, careers and hobbies - not only when faced with persecution. We not only have to separate from our sins but we also have to set the right priorities in our life (Luke 9:57-62; Luke 14:25-30). We must be ready to abide in our faith even if our family or friends disagree (Matthew 10: 34-38). We have to accept that they might turn away from us and persecute us.
We must obey God rather than men! (Acts 5:29)
b) THE RIGHT TEACHING
Jesus said that the Father seeks worshippers who worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4:23). Jesus revealed the truth, as can be seen, for example, in Jesus' prayer shortly before his death:
For the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me. (John 17:8)
The gospel, and for that matter the whole word of God, the Bible, has been given as a guide to lead us to understand God's will. God revealed himself throughout the Old and New Covenants in order to show us how to live. The truth can be recognised by everyone - as Paul points out in his second letter to the Corinthians:
... by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. (2 Corinthians 4:2-3)
Anybody who is ready to obey God can recognise what his will is.
If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. (John 7:17)
The recognition of the truth, i.e. the right understanding of God's word is the basis of a relationship with God. Knowing God does not only mean understanding theoretically what God wants from us. It means grasping his message wholeheartedly and living in fellowship with Him.
This is the eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. (John 17:3)
Therefore the New Testament lays special emphasis on the right teaching, even making it a condition of being saved.
Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. (1 Timothy 4:16)
False teachings give a wrong understanding of God. The result is that if someone accepts false teachings he does not know the true God and cannot have a real relationship with Him (2 John 9). Only someone who is not willing to submit himself to the truth of God will accept and remain in false teachings.
Today there are numerous denominations which regard themselves as Christian churches. They have an array of different teachings and they offer various forms of religious life where their members are not required to devote themselves to God for a holy life.
Contrary to this, the church, the community of the believers, is built on the teaching of the apostles (Ephesians 2:20). It does not accept new teachings (Galatians 1:9). The church is the pillar and the foundation of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15). It's teaching is consistent, undivided and unchanging (1 Corinthians 1:10).
The different denominations cannot be called parts of one church because they have contradictory teachings. This does not mean that nobody can become a Christian in a denomination where false teachings are taught. But if he is growing in faith he will be confronted with the false teachings and he will have to refuse them in order to keep his relationship with God.
WHY MUST WE KNOW WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?
In this age of "tolerance" and pluralism it is considered disrespectful to question someone else's belief. The "delicate questions" are often avoided so as not to offend. But a relationship where problems and differences cannot be discussed is not harmonious or honest.
If we take on this thinking that we must not question what another person does or believes, we exclude the possibility of having really deep relationships and community. It would mean that we would not be able to help each other because we cannot see what the others need. However, God's plan is that Christians are accountable to one another and can give one another real support (Hebrews 3:12-14; 1 Thessalonians 2:8-12).
Only people who want to obey God belong to the church (Matthew 18:15-17; 1 Corinthians 5:9-13). The church must hold up a mirror to its contemporaries so that they can see the kind of relationship Christians have with God (Matthew 5:14-16).
Sadly, there are many people who claim to be Christians but who deny it by their deeds. We must examine their faith and show them what is missing in their relationship to God. They have to be called to repentance. That is what it means to really love them, because our desire should always be for everyone to live in obedience to God. It is not possible for Christians to have fellowship with people who consciously decide to live in error. We must not adopt their teaching or their way of thinking (2 John 7-11).

The Difference Between Rich/Poor People?
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
"Life is too short and friends are too few."

Dear all,
Thought that this could encourage you if you ever undergo tough times. I believe God holds me in His arms when I go through tough times.
IF SOMEONE HAD A GUN HELD IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND ASKED YOU IF YOU BELIEVED IN GOD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? SAY NO AND FEEL ASHAMED THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? OR SAY YES, I DO, AND DIE STANDING UP FOR GOD?If you would say no, DELETE THIS E-MAIL , NOW. IF YOU WOULD SAY YES,
AND STAND UP FOR JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE READ THIS AND PASS ON.
Note: This is a true article that was printed in a southern newspaper less then a year ago TAKE A DEEP BREATH BEFORE READING THIS
There was an atheist couple who had a child. The couple never told their daughter anything about the Lord.
One night when the little girl was 5 years old, the parents fought with each other and the dad shot the Mom, right in front of the child. Then, the dad shot himself.
The little girl watched it all. She then was sent to a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and took the child to church.
On the first day of Sunday School, the foster mother told the teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and to have patience with her.
The teacher held up a picture of Jesus and said, "Does anyone know who this is?" The little girl said, "I do, that's the man who was holding me the night my parents died."
this little girl is telling the truth that even though she had never heard of Jesus, he still held her the night her parents died
Funny, isn't it?
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says.
(Or is it scary?)
Funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Funny how we can go to church for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week. (Are you laughing?)
Funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me. (Are you thinking?)
Pass this on only if you mean it. Yes, I do Love God!

sista Yen n bro Eujin came to CF last fri n shared with us...
sista Yen talk about her life journey and how God is working in her life...
what is important in the sharing is let God be the director in your life then you will have a blockbuster movie that worth million dollars. Remember that you are the camera man...Bear in mind that God is a oscar award winning director. We just have to let God direct us for His plan for us is the best and He love us...sometime we might go off focus from what God direct us but God is graceful enough to cut off the scenes...with Holy Spirit(director words or msg) annointing,we will be able to walk hand in hand with our director (obeying His words and direction) As a camera man, u must merge with ur director,not work independently,become one body wit Him ...dun ever rely on urself for we r weak n God is almighty,with Him all things is able...amen! In another words, u become interdependent wit ur director (u rely on His guidance and be grounded in His words, let Him be part of u....but dun take me wrong,u rely on God but He wan to train u as well, dun be luke warm, dun be laid back and continue to press on,move on and never stay on the same path) Don't have the mind set that i have God,He will give me everything i need just by praying...not it doesnt work dat way,yesh,prayer is the strongest weapon but God want us to
take the step of faith (which is pray about it,listen to His signs and at last just do it like NIKE =p) God will guide and lead us but don't expect God to feed us like baby....God want to teach us how to fish, not just throw fish at us...
another thing sista Yen and bro Eujin said is the words backsliding doesn't exsist,it is not on God vocabulary...it is created by man as in 100% man made... Life is like roller coaster,it is up and down (it is part of learning and growing process) if u dun pray for 1 week,God still love u as His precious children...He will nvr forsake u...u might be weary but i doesnt affect God love to us as He is graceful =p amen! so we must also have a personal love relationship wit God
-4:48 AM
Why do i say so? because everytime in CF prayer meeting, i am alwiz the victim they joke about... ok,partly coz i talk alot =b ok,it my fault! i m guilty lo.... it actually a joy that we r able to have laughther n joy due to blackmailing n making fun of me! Oh God, i can't believe i m so useful! kakaka! u see, perasan (miss angeline call it guilt n aaron the president call it syok sendiri) but aaron also said dat if i m not in CF, it will b silence...the proof that i m useful hahaha!.btw,bear in mind,i m just playing! I regret that i said that thr is a few clowns in CF...how come i nvr aware that they will refer it to me whereas i refer it to aaron n mr kenny...sigh! oh well! Another thing is Mr kenny n Miss Angeline was quite surprise that daniel told them i preach (in facts, i also veri surprise)...Mr kenny show me the unbelieving look wen he was told...miss angeline just said according to bible that wen u preach, enemy will attack u (the attack might come in form that ur frens will say harsh words) this words is true man, see for urself as Mr kenny (second teacher advisor)just show me the look, u see, he just hurt me by not believing me...he even show me the punch sign of hand wen i said he is harsh! so mean n rude. rite! i noe he was just joking la but he make Miss Angeline said i was having a role wit him, so i jokingly told him dat we settle outside, once again,they especially Miss Angeline complain i m like gangster haha! normally miss angeline will support me but 2day she also join in to attack me! Oh,how true is the bible verse! hahaha! U noe wat happen after prayer meet outside, he playfully use neck tie to hit me...i din even settle wit him but he settle wit me, one thing is how come i alwiz lose in a debate or argue? haha! i alwiz lose especially to aaron n mr kenny! so sad! mun yee, daniel n karen alwiz can see free debate! thay laugh laugh only!
Oh ya, praise God dat tis year He gave me the wisdom n peace to pray in prayer meet. I also preach n worship lead for the first time tis year! I have been worship lead for 3 time recently. Yay! seriously, last year i m not able to do those things. Miss Angeline our teacher advisor said that tis is taking the lift of faith, wen u decide to take another step of faith for God, God will bless n guide u in it...In Fri CF meeting, more jokes...aaron n eujin was talking about the place they wanna travel, thailand was one of it...i said i wan to go n save the prostitute there, n all of them was like shouting Miss Angeline, we must pray for xiying(me) deliverence.... aaron was talking about his sister after dat...he show me her pic as i insisted, so after i saw her pic i said i wan her...jkla,i m not lesbian! eujin han quickly added dat we have brokeback mountain movie and now i can make one name brokefront mountain! muahahahaha!
one biggest joke is after dat, aaron out of no where said i like mr kenny (hello,mr ken is just my bro n someone i respect) aaron called mr kenny n talked to him which, the conversation wen like tis:
aaron: hello, kenny...sleeping ar?
aaron: oh,soli soli!
aaron: xiying said she like you
(i m desperately saying no n making sounds)
aaron: wait ar, i pass the phone to xiying
me: hello
(shoot,arh kena prank coz aaron din dialed)
aaron adi laughing hard at the corner! i laughing hardly run over to him n hit him! feel like strangling him at that time man! daniel n mun yee just laugh n said kesian! they watch free show again! comedy! anyway,later aaron reveal his secret of doin prank...he said he did dial but wen he put near his ears n he quickly press the red off button...sigh, even mun yee n dan believe dat he dialed before dat! he is a prank expert la! this is mainly the jokes highlight! was nearly on the verge of tears from laughing wen anna n michelle came...was tired after dat so didn really talk, so aaron said "wen xiying din talk, it is so quite, so we really need you here" my answer"yea,i m like the clown la" all of them crack out laughing again! conclusion,i m really the CF clown n noise contributer man!
Mun yee, thx for bringing me to the nice Thai restaurant near Atria...it super nice! we must call li yan next time! the condition is so cooling n the foods best man! oh ya, it is great time la as we have gurl talk...I m really blessed to have u around in CF sista! amazingly,it is so easy for us to pour our heart out as we share the same value n most importantly God! Continue shining for Him! Keep the fire inside ur heart! will continue bugging u ya? hahaha! huggies!
Will have another post about sista Yen n bro eujin (another eujin, not eujin han) sharing n dat day fri CF meeting...to be continue! God bless!

There were two nuns...
One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM) , and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL). It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.
SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for the past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.
SL: It's logical. He wants to rape us.
SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes at the most! What can we do?
SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster.
SM: It's not working.
SL: Of course it's not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster, too.
SM : So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute.
SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and I'll go this way. He cannot follow us both.
So the man decided to follow Sister Logical. Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is worried about what has happened to Sister Logical. Then Sister Logical arrives.
SM: Sister Logical! Thank God you are here! Tell me what happened!
SL: The only logical thing happened. The man couldn't follow us both,so he followed me
SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?
SL : The only logical thing happened. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.
SM: And? SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me
SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?
SL: The only logical thing to do. I lifted my dress up.
SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do? SL: The only logical thing to do. He pulled down his pants.
SM: Oh, no! What happened then?
SL: Isn't it logical, Sister? A nun with her dress up can run faster than man with his pants down. And for those of you who thought it would be dirty, I'll pray for you! .

Everything come after u have a love relationship wit God and you put God as your true love! Aaoh ya,wat important in a relationship especially in christians are both party must pray for each other, if not this reltionship is not goin to work (i m single! hehe! 100%perasan! kakaka!) anyway,miss angeline was talking about life partner in yesterday prayer meet...she also ask me to read christian marriage books hehehe!

This 2 weeks i have been staying untill 7 sumthing for prayer meet (tues n thurs)... it been great to fellowship and communicate wit God. The great part is we pray for each other and learn to be b prayer warriors...it actually easy to become a prayer warrior, all u need pray wit ur heart and look onto God wen u pray. Wen u pray, it just u n God...it all about relationship wit our Father in Heaven...Wen we pray,we dun use our mind but heart, never think wen u pray but just say out what u want to communicate to God. God love it wen we pray! As He say,ask in His will n u shall receive...After we pray, God give our heart peace dt surpases all understanding. I am glad that God put me in this Christian Fellowship family...i learn n grow a lot thr (through the hard way!hehe) Last year,i nvr pray before in prayer meeting but tis year i decided to take the lift of faith and now my president n others complain that i pray veri long n i should give others chance to crawl (learn to pray) as well. hahaha! Praise God! Prayer time is a time aaron and mr kenny victimize and make joke of me especially on my words,blackmailing me about my so called "secret" and alwiz said that i dun't do hseworks (ahem,it true dat i have maids but i do hseworks wen my maid is not around)!!! arhh! evil la they all...miss angeline, mun yee, daniel and karen will share the laugh! Neway,it is gud to bring joy to ppl rite? It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves u have a sense of humor by Max Eastman. man,i have a lot of sense of humor den! hehehe! One thing is, before and after prayer,i will be hyper and laughing all the way...if mun yee around, we will be singing songs and dun care about ppl who pass by! haha! It is so nice to noe her la, we share alot of intimate stuff and become really close for some reasons! wink wink! mun yee rocks! It is so comfortable to share everything wit her and mun yee, thx for sharing wit me! It great and a blessing to have u around sista! It is great to encourage each other so dat our faith will grow... We crack alot of jokes as well especially by aaron the president aka joker hehe! But even though aaron joke around, but ppl respect him for his wisdom,faith and experience about God and life. He can noe someome personality by just looking at the person (the way he or she sit, eat,talk and wear). But he say he dun do that anymore because it is very judgemental...God say we should not judge others for if we do so, we will be judge as well. btw,God is the best judge, u wouldnt want to interupt His work... =) Oh ya, because i go through some trial and suffering, it actually refine my character,let my faith become stronger and i m able to share or testify God luv...God does provide a way out and He is our comfort...Tell me, without trial, how does we experience God working in our life or cherish ur life? Life is full of problem, it up to u to choose to laugh or cry on it. By clinging on the fact that Jesus die on the cross for us, there is no reason for us to be weary because of the wordly things. So,bro n sista, rejoice because we are promise heaven and eternity life. It is not the nail that put Jesus on the cross, but it was love. Everything was done, so u would come. Come to the Father, though our gift is small, broken heart, broken life, He will take them all. We should not love the world for if we love the world, means we are parting from our Father in Heaven. In everything dat we do, may it b on God will not based on world and let our life bring out the beauty of our LORD. Till next time ppl! take care n God bless...=p hugs Love sinners but not sins

i noe i have been missing in action for blogging recently... new semester started and wit 5 tough n heavy subject! btw,i m a bz person =b seriously, wit assignment, presentation, cf and campus frens! 2day the think pink event (gender awareness) is so cool! it is by the AWAM and mass com (PR subject and Mass Com club) student... they have guest clebrity- Harith Iskandar (He is so funny and cool...he can really make jokes) , Aisyah Sinclaire (beautiful mix gal and MC of the event) and Liang (Opps Asia artist and devoted christian, i even received a hug from him!whoa!so happy, just exagerating it la)!!! Talking about Liang, it remind me to talk about Easter Talent Time celebration in KDU auditorium organize by Christian Fellowship. Eujin is the organiser for this easter and he is also the MC for the event (he is a great MC trust me! he is funny and cool up in stage!) We also invited bro eujin (another eujin=p, he is a very gud preacher, really like his sermont as he share his own testi and also bible words lively, read my previous blog and u will noe eujin more) and his wife sista Yen (a beautiful lady and sweet lady devoted in helping her husband doing God work), Liang (Opps Asia artist and a devoted Christ! He loves music to bits! he is so cool, loves him as a bro and admire his singing talent loads! i take a lot of pic wit him! =p His head is so shinning! haha! p.s, he is bald =b) Our easter talent time start wit dinner and the foods are delicious! Me, mun yee, dan, paul and li yan are the ushers... it so fun coz we get to shake hand wit everybody and go round to ask them hows the foods or how they are feeling... we also snap pic at dinner and fellowship with each other. After dinner is the worship by nick (former cf president) church. it a great worship as God is present! Halleluyah! then the main item start- talentime contest! whoa, the contestant all are so gifted! Praise God! Bro eujin, sista yen and liang are the judges... everybody is enjoying themselves as we proceed with the talent time contest, we are jumping up and down or letting our body go with the music...the winner is called lawful criminal band as they are make up of law student and they rock man! Tze Peng can really sing and his other members play guitars and drum well! Rosalyn can sing well (gud vocal and pretty gal), kah jun play piano well like Maxsim hehe! Chris, clement and jiah hsien have a great time singing songs for Christ =p After the event end, me, mun yee, aaron,angela, eujin took a lot of pic wit liang, bro eujin and sista yen =p will send u guys the pic soon ya =) wait patiently =b Eventough we are tired but dat nite is a great sucess for God! A lot of ppl came and get to noe God as Pastor Chris convey the msg about God on dat nite...a day of reaching out i would say coz even Malay came =p so nice... =p take care and God bless! muakss and hugss! God equal to luv...family can be create as long as thr is luv and blood relation is just a bonus =p! In CF, we are like a family or wat u call God community, which is great as a lot of them are from other state and CF is their second family...it is important as we learn to encourage and have the family luv toward each other =) Love and unity is needed especially in God family, christians need to show that they are unity among themselves, then only non-believers will see that God is good and loving!Halleluyah! xD

Saturday, mum just came back from Genting after her studies...anyway, she just recover from her etopic(pregnancy outside the womb) operation...thx God that she recover d! Praise Him! Mum is very happy when she is back so she and dad brought us to watch movie named i not stupid 2 (a singapore movie). The movie is so powerful and close to our heart...audience laugh and cried(i mean me la hehe),it is a intense emotion movie...The words spoken by the actors are what useds in daily and the situations are also what happen in our life. It touch me and my family in a way that it is close to our heart. It amazing how the director can make the crying scene not lose it humour side as well. The little boy so called jerry in the movie make it more sucessful. this movie actually reveal on the people everyday lifestyle and parenting as well. Oh, the director act as a parent inside the movie...It a great master piece! I personally recommend it! There is actually a lot of youngster and families went for the movie that day, so it really great way of conveying the family msg and also making a stronger family bond (especially among youngsters and parents) There is a lot of value that the movie convey to us... Praise is important, it is not to flatter or wat but to make us more confident. Suitable praising will make us feel appreciate and happy =p ! Another value is find the key of the relationship and then only things will work out. Especially for teacher, they need to find the key of getting student attention so that the students will improve. sometimes, in order for things to change, we ourself need to change first. Some parents think that to take care of the children is to cane and scold them...they forget to care about the children feelings and didn't listen to the children. it make the children feel neglected and not understand...vice versa la, children have to try to understand and care for their parent. try analyze and communicate wit the parent y they want it dat way, i noe it is not easy but at least there are efforts put on. we must learn to listen to others and only den we will b listen...fair enough? sometime, teenagers thought they r rotten apples in their parents eyes but actually they r not and the parent love them alot whithout them knowing. Anyway, the biggest lesson is LOVE conquer especially in a parents and children relationship...For my family, it a great time to connect with each other. my parent even ask how they r doin as a parent! whoa,imagine dat! it so bizarre and cool...

Just finish CF...yay! great speaker and service(especially to anna as worship leader and bro eujin from FGA KL as speaker along with his wife yen) It great that it wasnt a formal talk but more to a conversation and more interactive in a way. The msg is about finding vision and God plan in your life...He said we need to step up and seach God fire for us, then only things will be clear for us. After we encounter God fire only we will have mission and we don't need alarm clock to wake us up in the morning because we know we are living with purpose and fullfiling God calling for us..Bro eujin told us his own testimonial, it about how he is a bad brats when he is in his early secondary school because his bro birth and he suddenly felt unloved. then one day, his mum told him to attend a youth conference when he is 14 years old along with his sis, his mum promise to paid him 50 bucks if he attend the conference till the end! wise mum!haha! so his sis is incharge to make sure that he attend till the end. at first he is struggling to sit for the conference but what the pastor said touch him. it about a girl story... He also told us 2 more story... abraham and 3 soldiers...read the bible for detail ^-^ oh ya,bro eujin also said that when we read the bible we will hear music ringing....true true! As u read the bible with ur heart, u will find it applicable to ur daily life and also feel the peace from God...Peace from God comes from the understanding...Only when u understand what u read and have faith in, den only the peace come to our heart

Before the prayer, as usual we will chit chat and ask about everyone condition or who need prayer...CF is like a family and i am so glad that i am part of it...i used to have a feeling of being overlook but i was wrong and i noe they all love me as a family. it just the evil trying to control me and make me felt like dat before, thx God dat You cast away the evil away! yay, and my feelings is changed! i love all my fellow CF frens and other frens as well! i saw jiah hsien shirt with a great wordings...M.A.D- making a different! it is such a great words! i noe jish hsien used it as his blog title...thx ya jiah hsien for letting me to put it up n my msn and blog! hahaha! i alwiz lend ppl idea! kakaka. i learn by stealing ideas haha! We should be MAD in life...making a different not only in our life but others as well. it important that we live our life till the fullness and with good purpose! we ought to reach out and help out other as well especially when they are in trouble, make a different in frens life, support them and try to show them the love! be a shinning light and let strike ppl life with God love.Let them see Jesus through u! Last but not least, hope CF have a great service later! i commit it into God hand and in faith CF will be great with God present! Amen! Story to b continue hehe!

The Moment u r in Tension
U will lose your Attenstion
Then U r in Total CONFUSION
And U'll Feel IRRITATION
This May Spoil Your Personal RELATIONS
And get things into COMPLICATION
Then U May Raise CAUTION
And U have to Take MEDICATION
Why not try understanding the SITUATION
And try to think about the SOLUTION
Many Problems will b Solved By DISCUSSION
Which will work out better in your PROFESSION
Don't think this is a free SUGGESTION
It is only for your PREVENTION
If u understand my INTENTION

FROGS Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.
A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.... The race began....Honestly: No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!!" "They will NEVER make it to the top." or: "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!" The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one....
Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher.... The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!" More tiny frogs got tired and gave up.... But ONE continued higher and higher and higher.... This one wouldn't give up! At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!
THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it? A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal? It turned out.... That the winner was DEAF!!!! The wisdom of this story is: Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart! Always think of the power words have. Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions! Therefore: ALWAYS be.... POSITIVE!
And above all: Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams! Always think: God and I can do this! Pass this message on to 5 "tiny frogs" you care about.Give them some motivation!!! Most people walk in and out of your life......but FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart In two days tomorrow will be yesterday. Today is no special day and I have no particular reason for writing to you.. I have no news to tell you.... nor any problems to discuss with you.... or gossip to tell you... It's only one of those happy moments... when I thought of you... and I would like to share these thoughts with you... MANY SMILES BEGIN BECAUSE OF ANOTHER SMILE...
To The World You Might Be One Person; But To One Person You Might Be the World. You have been Tagged by the Froggy, which means you are a great friend!! ¤ »¥ «¤ »§ «¤ »¥ «¤ »§ «¤ »¥ «¤ »§ «¤ »§ «¤ »¥ «¤ If you fall down 10 times,Stand up the 11th

2day we have a bowling outing in one utama..... It just loads of fun and laughter! A great time to fellowship with each other! A lot of people went and it just cool as we can reach out to so many people especially non-christian! People will also noe that christian fellowship can organize something cool and fun! yay! =b... It is also a time where we discuss how to make CF more appealing to people...mun yee suggested that we should convey the christian msg using a more lively and light way... well, i agreed coz sometimes bible study is quite scary for new christian and non christian, so it will be better if there is christian jokes or something to make it less tensed up... Anyway,right now i am busy for new club Campus Friends, hope to make it a sucess and a place where people can make friends, to find out the purpose and passion in life . Btw, CF is having easter celebration at 7 of April in KDU auditorium... It is going to be a great event coz we have talentine, band singing, sketch (drama) and foods!! isnt it great?

Basically i cant live without doing anything (beside studying la =b, exam soon =( ) i am just hyper! kekeke! God give me the strength and He is my refuge...Glory onto Him! Take care and have a nice day! God bless! Keep on shinning for Him!

yes,i found the key to heaven! thx God for giving me the key to unlock the door to heaven... All of us actually are given the key to heaven. but it is whether we want to receive the key or not. Some ppl may fear the suffering in the process of getting the key as in casting away all the sinful act that we done before...Some might fear the commitment after they found the key such as obeying God words. Some scared they will let God down as they can't resist the temptation of devil... for some youth, they are worried that they can't fit in the cool, happening or wordly ppl... yes,a lot of time we might feel different but bear in mind that there is judgement day to come and your rewards is going to pile up in heaven, what best is you gain eternity life as said in Bible...isnt that great? God love us alot u see and He send His only son Jesus to take away our sin....God is good, loving, graceful and merciful isn't it? When you feel like your world is falling down, cling on Him and you shall stand up again in God grace...

we are always lonely arent we? we always hear that he or she is desperate and lonely...how much does tis loneliness control us? izzit like the song, i m lonely? do we be in a relationship just because we are lonely n seeking a cure? we can't deny that we are emotional being and will somehow feel lonely or the need to be love by someone. i admit that i do feel lonely n need of being love. But i channel by loneliness to make frens n serve God. God equal to love. He is the only person that satisfied me for the love i m always searching for. Because of Him,i found a faithful and true lover. He is the lover of my soul, accept all my flaws and even sacrcifice His only son Jesus to take our sin away. Through God, i learn to luv myself and others. He make me grateful n blessed to be who i am. Merciful and patient are what He potray to me! He will never leave me or closed the door no matter what i had done and nothing i can do to make Him love me more. have u experience before where you keep on tearing your heart bits by bits to others and end up losing ur heart or faith? But loving God is different, He won't abandon you or tell you that He want a break up or make your heart break. In fact,i rejoice everyday as a result of loving God. I remember the moral studies that i taken in college, loneliness is different with solitude. solitude is refreshing while loneliness is sadness and withdrawell from people. Solitide is feeling that you can control while loneliness is feelings that cant be control. Let talk about walking in a relationship... first,it is not easy. A lot of commitment is needed. emotional maturity is essential as you have to be strong in your emotion and you must love yourself before you love your partner. Love need a lot of patient,mutual respect, mutual understanding and commitment. it is not just a cure for loneliness nor trying him or her to see whether he or she is the right one. it is also not a dating game, or being in a relationship for the sake of dating or just for sexual pleasure. Love for me personally is to combine two soul into one, to complete and balance out eack other, and to understand each other. Love is pure and holy.

This can really make you think.
It actually made me mad while I was reading it This is deep.. and I wasn't going to share it but you'll see. It is very true!
A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN
I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night.
You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, you are mine. Remember, you and I have been going steady for years. and I still don't love you yet. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long a possible to pay him back.
You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had. We have been cursing people out, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, bad attitudes. SURELY you don't want to give all this up. Come on, let's burn together forever.
I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I'd like to say "THANKS" for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you.
When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick. Sin is beginning to take it's toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while underaged, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible. Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that.
Well, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess you sins, live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. t's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.
wow, so how your feelings now? Are you guys aware of how much God love us and the devil hate us and able to tempt alot of ppl to sin. It never too late to change and turn to the right way for ppl dat had been tempted before. We are all sinners and Jesus take away our sin. Heaven is free and it all whether you want to believe in God anot. God is the truth,the way and the life! nothing you can do to make Him love you more and mothing you have done would make him close the door. Cheers! Praise Him! May the glory be with Him!
-10:53 PM
Dear Beloveds,
One year is coming to an end! Praise God He has seen all of us through another year! We have been so blessed by Him! Continue to walk strong in Him and persevere to do all that He desire us to accomplish in our lives and through our lives.
As you spend time at home during the holidays, try to spend as much time with Jesus as you can and get to know Him and His ways deeper and better. Your future is in His hands!
Take care! God Bless! c ya next year!
A "Very Blessed Christmas and wonderful Year" to all of you!

By the time the Lord made woman,>>he was into his sixth day of working overtime.>>An angel appeared and said,>>"Why are you spending so much time on thisone?">>And the Lord answered,>> "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?>>She has to be completely washable, but notplastic,>>have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable>>and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,>>have a lap that can hold four children at one time,>>have a kiss that can cure anything from ascraped knee to a brokenheart>>-and she will do everything>>with only two hands.">>The angel was astounded at the requirements.>>"Only two hands!?>>No way!>>And that's just on the standard model?>>That's too much work for one day.>>Wait until tomorrow to finish.">>"But I won't," the Lord protested.>>"I am so close to finishing this creation that is soclose to my ownheart.>>She already heals herself when she is sick>>AND can work 18 hours a day.">>The angel moved closer and touched the woman.>>"But you have made her so soft, Lord.">>"She is soft," the Lord agreed,>>"but I have also made her tough.>>You have no idea what she can endure oraccomplish.">>"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.>>The Lord replied,>>"Not only will she be able to think,>>she will be able to reason and negotiate.">>The angel then noticed something,>>and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.>>"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.>>I told you that you were trying to put too muchinto this one.">>"That's not a leak,">>the Lord corrected,>>"that's a tear!">>"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.>>The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressingher joy,>>her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,>>her loneliness, her grief and her pride.">>The angel was impressed.>>"You are a genius, Lord.>>You thought of everything!>>Woman is truly amazing.">>And she is!>>Women have strengths that amaze men.>>They bear hardships and they carry burdens,>>but they hold happiness,>>love, and joy.>>They smile when they want to scream.>>They sing when they want to cry.>>They cry when they are happy>>and laugh when they are nervous.>>They fight for what they believe in.>>They stand up to injustice.>>They don't take "no" for an answer>>when they believe there is a better solution.>>They go without so their family can have.>>They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.>>They love unconditionally.>>They cry when their children excel>>and cheer when their friends get awards.>>They are happy when they hear about>>a birth or a wedding.>>Their hearts break when a friend dies.>>They grieve at the loss of a family member,>>yet they are strong when they think there is nostrength left.>>They know that a hug and a kiss>>can heal a broken heart.>>Women come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.>>They'll drive, fly, walk, run, or e-mail you>>to show how much they care about you.>>The heart of a woman is what makes the worldkeep turning.>>They bring joy, hope and love.>>They have compassion and ideals.>>They give moral support to their family and friends.>>Women have vital things to say and everything togive.>>HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW INWOMEN,>>IT IS THAT THEY sometimes FORGET THEIRWORTH.

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep itin the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant foradults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital. He died.The mother was stunned! She was terrified how she was going to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the deadchild, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.
QUESTIONS: 1. What were the five words? 2. What is the implication of this story?
ANSWER: The husband just said "I am with you Darling".The husband's totally unexpected reaction is aproactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life.There is no point infinding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world."A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness,selfishness, andfears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.
MORAL OF THE STORY This story is really worth reading. Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human relationship.

Did you know that when you envy someone, it's because you really like that person?
Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weaklings and most succeptible?
Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need some one to protect them?
Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are : I love you,Sorry and help me The people who say these are that actually need them or really feel them, and are the ones you really need to treasure, because they have said them.
Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones that actually need your company and help?
Did you know that those who dress in red are more confidence in themselves?
Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?
Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?
Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?
Did you know that those who need more of you are those that not mention it to you?
Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writting than saying it to someone in the face?But did you know that it has more value when you say it in the face?
Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?
Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?
Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.
But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself , if you know someone that is in need of something that I mentioned of,and you know that you can help,you'll see that it will be returned in two folds.
"One day, we mad people will change the world...or we are already changing it " THE BALL IS NOW IN YOUR COURT... If the world were to end in 24 hours,all the phone lines, chat rooms and email will be saturated from people sending messages to others, saying: "I regret having made you feel bad", "Pardon me", "I love you", "I hold you in high esteem", take good care of yourself" and sometimes "I have always loved you, only I never told you".

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the bed. It was addressed, "Dad". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands: Dear Dad, It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you. I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice, even with all her piercings, tattoos, and her tight Motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion dad, she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be very happy. Even though you won't care for her as she is so much older than I, she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too. Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!! Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren. Your son, John
PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk center drawer. I love you!Call when it is safe for me to come home.
-7:59 PM
Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom., I thought...I don't have time for this... And ... this is really inappropriate during work.
Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is exactly what has caused lot of the problems in our world today.
We do like to have Him around during sickness... And, of course, at funerals.
However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play... Because that's the part of our lives we think we can, and should, handle on our own. May God forgive me for ever thinking...
That there is a time or place where...HE is not to be FIRST in my life.
We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.
If you aren't ashamed to do this...Please follow the directions. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."Not ashamed?
Yes, I do Love God. HE is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and every day.
Without Him, I will be nothing. But, with Christ, He strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
This is the simplest test.
THE POEM
I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer and jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done. My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time to spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends, they'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do
That was my constant cry, no time to give to souls in need ...
But, at last, the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord. I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said "Your name I cannot find I once was going to write it down ...But never found the time." Make sure that you scroll through to the end. Easy vs. Hard Why is it so hard to tell the truth but yet so easy to tell a lie?
Why are we so sleepy in church but right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?
Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff?
Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine, but yet so easy to look at a nasty one?
Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?
Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the bars and dance clubs are getting larger?
Do you give up? Think about it. Just remember - God is watching you. Prayer Wheel-Let's see the devil stop this one!
Of all the free gifts we may receive, prayer is the very best one...
There are no costs, but wonderful rewards ... GOD BLESS!
May God keep you and bless you. If this doesn't give you chills, nothing will ... This message is very true. Hope you are all as blessed as I was from this story. I wonder how many people will delete this without reading it because of the title on it? Notes: Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).
-7:42 PM
This morning when the Lord opened a window to Heaven, he saw me, and he asked: "My child, what is your greatest wish for today?"
I responded: " Lord, please take care of the person who is reading this message , their family and their special friends.
They deserve it, and I love them very much". The love of God is like the ocean: you can see its beginning, but not it's end.
Angels exist, but sometimes, since they don't all have wings, we call them friends, such as you.
take care my angels!

Yesterday i was rushing to church for URM duty. I beat the traffic lightbecause i needto rush to reach by 5pm. I realise thru my rear mirror that a police car wastailing me frombehind. I know i was in trouble. I drive slowly to see if he will wave me tothe side of theroad. True enough he did. He walked up to me and asked for my ic & drivinglicense. I told him i was rushing to church because i am already late. Hethen looked at the bible beside me. Straight away i said, " I know why youstop me. Give me a summon because i know i am wrong."The policeman ask, "Mengapa mau saman?" I said, " Because I am wrong. Idrive thru the red light."He said, "Tiada saman. I am only concern about your safety. You can go now."I was so touch by this young, handsome, malay policeman.This has reminded me that we need to be quick to tell God we are guilty ifwe are in the wrong.A lot of people (not URM definately) has forgotten how merciful our God canbe if we are willing to come to the Father!God Bless all of you.
-10:37 PM
A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father.When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows.An empty chair sat at his bedside.
The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit."I guess you were expecting me, he said.'No, who are you?" said the father.The minister told him his name and then remarked,I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up,""Oh yeah, the chair,"said the bedridden man."Would you mind closing the door?" Puzzled, the minister shut the door."I have never told anyone this,not even my daughter," said the man."But all of my life I have never known how to pray.At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer,but it went right over my head."I abandoned any attempt at prayer,"the old man continued," until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me,"Johnny, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus.Here is what I suggest." Sit down in a chair;place an empty chair in front of you,and in faith see Jesus on the chair.It's not spooky
because he promised,I will be with you always'."Then just speak to him in the same way you're doing with me right now.""So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day.I'm careful though If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair,she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm."The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old man to continue on the journey.Then he prayed with him, anointed him with oil,and returned to the church. Two nights la ter the daughter called to tell the minister that her daddy had died that afternoon.
Did he die in peace?" he asked. Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock,he called me over to his bedside,
told me he loved me and kissed me on the cheek.When I got back from the store an hour later,I found him dead.
But there was something strange about his death. Apparently, just before Daddy died,he leaned over and rested his head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?"The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said,"I wish we could all go like that."
Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.
I asked God for water,
He gave me an ocean.
I asked God for a flower,
He gave me a garden.
I asked God for a friend,
He gave me all of YOU...

Hope this short mail will touch your hearts in a small way. Enjoyreading. Letting Go. Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that necklace and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, "Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I'll tell you what. I'll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of chores that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don't forget that for your birthday Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?" Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her chores very hard everyday, and sure enough, her Grandma gave her a brand new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere - to kindergarten, bed, and when she went out with her mother to run errands. The only time she didn't wear them was in the shower - her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green. Now Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, "Jenny, do you love me?" "Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you," the little girl said. "Well, then, give me your pearls." "Oh daddy, not my pearls!" Jenny said! . "But y ou can have Rosie, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit, too. Okay?" "Ohno, darling, that's okay." Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. "Good night, little one." A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story,"Do you love me?" "Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you." "Well, then, give me your pearls." "Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She's my favorite. Her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and braid it and everything. You can have Ribbons if you want her, Daddy," the little girl said to her father. "No, that's okay," her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. "God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams." Several days later, when Jenny's father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. "Here, Daddy," she said, and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father's hand. With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and with the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet box. Inside of the box were real, genuine, beautiful pearls. He had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the real thing. So it is with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasure. Isn't God good? Are you holding onto things God wants you to let go of? Are you holding onto harmful or unnecessary partners, relationships, habits and activities you have become so attached to that it seems impossible to let go?Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing.................God will never take away something without giving you something better in its place.

You'll enjoy this; and maybe itwill test your brainpower... *****************************************1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way. 2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator? Wrong Answer. Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions. 3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend... except one. Which animal does not attend? Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there.This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities. 4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it? Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting.This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The Lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. The lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite. The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves. When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups." "Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change." "If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it." "Ability may take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there."-John Wooden, Basketball Coach.

In the year A.D. 30 many Jews and God-fearing Gentiles who had gathered in Jerusalem for the Jewish feast of Pentecost asked this question after hearing Peter speak to the crowds about Jesus. We also asked ourselves this very same question, as does everyone who thinks more deeply about the sense of life, regardless of whether they are an atheist, a Buddhist or a Catholic.
We have come from a wide range of backgrounds, religious and non-religious, but we have all come to realise that the many different paths available do not lead to one and the same destination. There are so many ways out there to choose from - so many people offering answers; Protestants, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Adventists, Methodists, Pentecostals, Buddhists, Muslims, atheists, ... The question is:
What is the right way? What is truth?
The answer you often hear is, "Everybody has his own truth", or, "No one can really know it". In our opinion, such statements contradict the fact that there is an objective reality. Either the earth is round or it is flat. It cannot be both. The one reality remains absolute and unchanged regardless of the way you look at it. It is the same with religious questions. When it comes down to it, it is not possible for two opposing and contradictory alternatives to exist simultaneously - one for you and one for me. If the reality is that there is a resurrection after death, then there cannot be reincarnation. You cannot have both eternal life after death and the annihilation of the soul. If matter was created by God it cannot have existed from eternity. Or let us consider some other questions to which contradictory answers cannot both be right: Is Jesus God, or is he not? Does God predestine people to condemnation, or does He give them free will? Can a Christian fall away from God, or is he 'once saved, always saved'? Is man sinful by nature, or is he not? Does hell exist, or does it not?
Questions like these ought to inspire everyone who wants to get to know God's nature to form an opinion. Can we remain indifferent when faced with these questions if we are interested in finding out how to live according to God's will?
To find answers to these questions we do not think that we need a new revelation, or some kind of new special method of interpreting the Bible. Nor do we think that we are the source of the truth - we are very aware of our imperfections and humbly accept our limitations - but we believe that truth is accessible, because Jesus revealed it to mankind.
The majority of people hold the opinion that there is no absolute truth. In our society, the view that the truth is relative is the predominating ideology. Many people have become accustomed to this stream of thought and think that one's idea of truth is relative and has no validity for others: "What seems good to me is what is right for me!" However, if everything has the same validity, then in the end nothing matters. The standard according to which good and bad, right and wrong are measured is completely missing. Everyone can find something to suit his own personal taste and needs. People paint their own picture of heaven, choosing the colours from a palette of their own desires and wishes, creating their own religion, which seems to fit well enough for the time being... In fact, religion is widely treated as yet another branch of the arts, like the world of fashion in which people shape trends and trends, in turn, shape people. However, God's way is different...
How does God want me to use my life?
In God's eyes every person who does not seek the truth is enslaved. But Jesus wants to deliver us from slavery - it's up to us to accept his offer.
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, {then} you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (John 8:31-32)
The truth will make us free - this means that we need to see the truth about ourselves, we need to realise and confess our sinfulness, and accept that we need God's forgiveness through Jesus, as Peter said:
Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
Then He can give us the power to give up our sins and live a holy life, then He can give us the strength to devote our whole life to serve Him. Jesus wants to redeem us, He wants to set us free from selfish desires and sexual sins, from vanity and envy, from the feeling of inferiority and pride, from arrogance and the urge to win the favour of other people.
Jesus also wants to set us free from all kinds of deceptive teachings which lead people to concentrate on themselves even more in the effort to save themselves. But He also wants to set us free from wrong ideas which people call Christianity, where people devote vast amounts of time and energy to the cause of social justice but neglect the spiritual fight against sin.
Jesus wants to free us from teachings which provide an assurance of God's forgiveness but forget that discipleship is all about following Jesus. He wants to liberate us from doctrines which promise God's grace, but renounce obedience as legalistic. For this reason we seek the truth, searching for God's will in both our lives and teaching.
This search for God's will led us to the question:
What should a Christian community be like?
The community of Christians in Jerusalem that formed after the apostles' preaching is described in Acts 2:
They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer... Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart... (Acts 2:42 and 46)
For Christians in that time it was natural to come together for fellowship and to deal with the teaching every day. Their common life bore witness to their great interest in, and love for God and their brothers and sisters. We, too, have this sincere desire to share our lives with our sisters and brothers in faith, to read the Bible together, and to take part in each other's joys, sorrows and spiritual fights. We are very thankful that we can live in a time when good transport and convenient working hours make daily community possible. For us, daily community is an expression of love and a result of the wish to live out what we believe, to devote our time to God and to our brothers and sisters in faith. We use our time for the things that are important for us.
If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 1 John 4:21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also. (1 John 4:20-21)
This vibrant, committed fellowship is of great value in helping us to strengthen one another in our struggles and practice the principle expressed in the Bible:
But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. (Hebrews 3:13)
We do not want to build superficial relationships or show a good front to one another and by doing so avoid revealing the reality about ourselves. Instead, we confess our sins and weaknesses to one another in order to help one another in the fight for holiness, following the example of Jesus.
...love one another, even as I have loved you... (John 13:34)
This is the kind of love we want to live - not just on Sundays or at celebrations but every day alike; not only with particular friends but with anyone who wants to live in the truth.

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty, he said...no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever....and he said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough.
As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said....
You're not pretty you're beautiful.
I dont want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldnt cry if you walked away...I'd die...

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?" The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it." Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?" The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university." Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the university for study. He said it might help somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could." Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said: "Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm, sure the food will be great. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that? Signed with Love from: God, Jesus &Me.

Wow, this is about our life!!! Some of you might ask what is the big deal about our life??? If you ask that you are so wrong! There are a lot of philosophies and issues in our life!!! It is big deal dear people, trust me! Well, of course I’m not going to write about philosophy as I am not a philosopher! Whew, what a relief for you guys! Ha-ha! But (oh no! I know what you guys are thinking! I know a bit of mind reading! Just kidding!) I will write about issues in life that are quite important. Bear with me for this exclusive life journey! You might not agree with me in this walk of life but don’t worry, I won’t force you to accept all my opinions, ways and styles! I know you guys have your own great opinions…use your critical thinking power while reading my book and feel free to disagree or criticize! One concept that I learned is when people criticize you, (duh, of course you feel angry! How dare he/she comment you like that is the line running through your head) what you should do is to try to get over the anger emotion and analyze what he/she said (s what he/she said true? what is it that I should change?), then you decide whether to change yourself. Comment or critics from people are important to let us be aware of how we portray ourselves in people’s eyes and obtain useful advice to let us grow in becoming a better person. Of course there are situations where you don’t have to care about how people think of you! If you are nervous about how people see you, you tend to be acting or fake around them which is not good because you can’t be yourself and you are sure enough let people see that you are not comfortable there! Hmm, how to prevent this from happening is to be confident (how to be confident? Keep in your mind that you are special and useful in your own unique way! Praise God for that! In God eyes, everyone is a grace to Him!), don’t wear too outstanding clothes (my own opinion & experience) and know that everyone is not perfect, dun worry about your flaw too much (of course it will be best if you try to make your strength overshadow your weakness) because everybody has! Just act natural and cool about it! Dun sweat about it! What to write some more? Click, searching for brain neurons…what!!! Error, no brain neurons detected! Impossible! I wouldn’t be living if my brain neurons die, I would either be heaven or hell (hope it is heaven! Arhh, don’t want to crack my head about it and by the way, it is in God hand!) It true, research show it! Go log on internet and check for yourself! Don’t be lazy! I mean myself! Opps, reveal my weakness! Hehe!) The word ‘impossible’, wouldn’t it be great if we turn it to ‘I am possible’! Done research already about the brain neurons? Don’t tell me you don’t know what is internet? If you don’t, you better don’t life in this era… just joking! Don’t go and try to kill yourself because I shan’t be responsible towards your life! Talk about putting responsible upon life, I found out that nowadays people tend to commit suicide when they face problems that I personally feel can be solve with some guidance. Trust me; there is no problem big enough worth to die for! Why modern or civilized act so uncivilized? Like people from thousand ages ago who don’t know how precious is a life. Guidance is needed in this case. Anyone else intend to become a counselor? With the stress of job, money or other kind of pressure mankind are facing, this job promise a good fortune and future! Since when did I recommend people job? A minute ago I guess? One thing is your life is given by God (in Malaysia, there are many religion, so suit yourself!) and you have no right or privilege to take your life like that! I take it as a selfish act for people who commit suicide! It is true that everything end when they die but it is a different stories for their loved one especially their family, relatives and friends. Their loved one has to bare the memory and sadness until the end of their life! I know it is harsh to say but isn’t it is an act of cruel? Well, I left it for you to think and analyze it. Think about it, how many unlucky people in world are suffering from all kind of various diseases struggle to breath for one day, a few hours, 1 hour or even 1 minute! What did they do to deserve it? Some are just small kids! Only God know because He plans everything with hidden meaning (Uh oh, God is secretive aren’t He? Dun worry, the truth will be revealed one day! He is merciful and graceful towards us because He send His only son Jesus to die for us!) If you think your life sucks and you want to end it right now, wake up! Go check around the world and you will find out that there are many needy people in this world that waiting for miracle so that they can live. You will totally swimming in your own tears when you see them. Try being a social worker, you will be give thanks that you are able to live, you will be much happier and definitely cherish or perish the time in your entire life! Helping people give you a sense of fullness and happiness because you are able to help them. I don’t think there are many people willing to become social worker as there are plenty things for us to do in life such as homework assignment, preparing exam if you are student and if you are working, your working day already take up half of your day. With so many things for us to accomplish, we might feel stress if we couldn’t accomplish what we plan to. This is where stress management is important. Many class or books about stress management have been here to reach out for people who need it. If you don’t know how to manage stress, you might end up in mental hospital (I won’t want to visit you because I am scared! Joking!) Maybe for some people shouting or throwing tantrum towards people (that not the way to get out emotion and you just hurt people feelings, I used to be like that as my emotion is unstable) my suggestion is exercising or anything that get the sweat out of your body (this work for me at least), you can also shout it loud at a place where no human beings are detected. Why not talk to your intimate or trustable adult or counselor. One point here, when you are in the middle of heat or fire, quickly runs away because you don’t want people to get fire burn, I mean hurt anybody. You must also blurt what make you angry because if you don’t, one day the volcano will explode (seriously!) you will certainly break down and become insane(oh no) if you don’t know how to mange stress! Actually there is a scientific name for this stress disease (go back home and look for medical dictionary! hehe!)
In this new generation, humankind needs to work or study extra hard to survive! You have to be better than others in order to crab a place in work or study. There are so called stratagems involve especially in workplace. It isn’t just about work but relationship or the bond between people (sigh that the hard part and it is what make people stress! That why there are a lot of books or talks about how to manage human relationships in work) Why oh why it is so hard to deal with human? I guess it is because everyone wants to become successful in life and this make them put on a mask while they are in work place, never use their heart while dealing with people. Another thing is each one of us has different personality as we are brought up by different way, culture, value and religion. (Well, that what make the world “colorful”, isn’t it?)
I remember one Chinese quote that say it is good that we can speak human language when we deal with human and speak ghost language while we deal with ghost; but it is best if we speak ghost language while dealing with human beings yet they still can understand what we say and speak human language while dealing with ghost yet they still can understand us! This for sure isn’t easy to be done! Practice make perfect! Sounds familiar? It true! Anything that we do, preparation and practice make us more confident as we know well what to do because we already get use to it! I hope I will remain silent to my words!! Ha-ha! Because alot of time i didn follow my own words!
Oh yea, you guys heard the phrase an eye for an eye and an apple for an apple? Do you guys agree with it? I will not force you guys to view the same as I do but I am just merely giving my point. Of course you repay a kindness with kindness. When it comes to evil it is a different thing, normally people will take revenge. Bible (seriously, it is not as boring as you think, trust me!) did say that an eye for an eye but it doesn’t need to be done like that! Why can’t we overcome evil with good and leave all the injustice in God’s hands? I know you might think that it is stupid to do that but one thing is hating a people will not make you any good but only fill your heart with hatred. Furthermore, you will feel angry, unhappy, sad and more negative emotion. This is bad because why you want to punish yourself with other people sin? You are putting the burden onto your shoulder, doesn’t u think so? I know that it hurt a lot to bear when people done evil on you but you have to understand that human aren’t perfect and they are living in darkness! What you can do is show them love and bear with them, it not easy to do and a lot of patience is needed. Don’t you feel lighter once you forgive those evil things that people do to you? The joy and happiness just back to you like that (whoosh, magic!) Talk about overcoming evil things, temptations and problems, you will have to overcome it everyday! It is just whether small problems or major breakdown in your life. Believe me; I deal with it almost everyday! One thing is you don’t feel shy to admit your weakness and that you will need guide from the right source (right source is very important because they will give you right advice, I get this words from one of my friend and don’t you think it is true?)
The right influence is important because as a human, we are easy to being influence by our surrounding. How to get right influence? I personally think that it is done by joining extra-curriculums in school, good affiliation, sports and of course religion places (these places will give peace to your soul and every religion promotes good values in life!) One thing about religion is if we are saved (I am using Christianity sample, I apologized if I have offend anybody), it is right that we should hate sin but we shouldn’t hate sinner but we should love them and support them! This is so true; judge yourself before you judge others! I admit that we always judge people especially by the first impression. We are always stereotyping people without any reason. I have to be frank that I may judge people unconsciously and I am changing myself. You know why we shouldn’t do that? This is because everyone is special or different and you might never know what you can learn from the people you judge! Think about the feelings when you are being judge, if you hate being judge then why should you judge? Do you feel happy if other people sad? Of course it is clear that we can humbly confront the people when we know that they are doing sin. It is our responsibility to carefully tell people especially when we know they are committing sin. There is a saying which is a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without adversity. There are a lot of hardship to go through before you truly grow up as a human (no one is perfect, I am being honest!). We are growing especially spiritually everyday through the things we gone through. There are a lot of these love thingy people like to know about, I have come across this saying by a writer. If you like a person but he/she doesn’t like you back, then he/she isn’t worthwhile for you to wait (I have this experience before, it is hard to forget but time will wash everything and let the feeling over by making yourself focusing on other things like studies, sports and others) Find a person who know how to appreciate, accept, love, care for you and endure you! In quest for searching love, you don’t have to lower your value or compromise your belief (this is a debate by many people because some believe that they should change themselves to get love and some believe they shouldn’t, what you guys think?) don’t waste your time waiting for a person who doesn’t worth it, go on with your life and search for people who will understand you and remain your friends no matter up or downs. God is a suitable person for this friend that we need, He will be beside you until the very last breath of yours and He is forever faithful!

When you are facing your greatest fear and despair,
When you feel that your heart has been broken to pieces,
When you are walking on life's darkest highway

Tony Dorsett"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." -
Albert EinsteinThere is no Gain in the world: so be it: but neither is there any Loss. There is never any failure to this infinite freshness of life, and the ancient novelty is forever renewed. We realize the world better if we imagine it, not as a Progress to Prim Perfection, but as the sustained upleaping of a Fountain, the pillar of a Glorious Flame. For, after all, we cannot go beyond the ancient image of Heraclitus, the "Ever-living Flame, kindled in due measure and in the like measure extinguished." That translucent and mysterious Flame shines undyingly before our eyes, never for two moments the same, and always miraculously incalculable, an ever-flowing stream of fire. The world is moving, men tell us, to this, to that, to the other. Do not believe them! Men have never known what the world is moving to. Who foresaw--to say nothing of older and vaster events--the Crucifixion? What Greek or Roman in his most fantastic moments prefigured our thirteenth century? What Christian foresaw the Renaissance? Who ever really expected the French Revolution? We cannot be too bold, for we are ever at the incipient point of some new manifestation far more overwhelming than all our dreams. No one can foresee the next aspect of the Fountain of Life. And all the time the Pillar of that Flame is burning at exactly the same height it has always been burning at! The World is everlasting Novelty, everlasting Monotony. It is just which aspect you prefer. You will always be right.

William W. PurkeyIf I'd gotten the job I wanted at Montgomery Ward, I suppose I would never have left Illinois. I've often wondered at how lives are shaped by what seem like small and inconsequential events, how an apparently random turn in the road can lead you a long way from where you intended to go--and a long way from wherever you expected to go. For me, the first of these turns occurred in the summer of 1932, in the abyss of the Depression.

Socrates"... I was reminded of a remark of Willa Cather's, that you can't paint sunlight, you can only paint what it does with shadows on a wall. If you examine a life, as Socrates has been so tediously advising us to do for so many centuries, do you really examine a life, or do you examine the shadows it casts on other lives? Entity or relationships? Objective reality or the vanishing point of a multiple perspective exercise? Prism or the rainbows it refracts? And what if you're the wall? What if you never cast a shadow or rainbow of your own, but have only caught those cast by others?" -
Wallace Stegner, The Spectator Bird, 1976

Laura Swenson"May you live every day of your life." -
Jonathan SwiftStill we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds. Simplify, simplify. Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one; instead of a hundred dishes, five; and reduce other things in proportion.

William FaulknerIt gets to be part of your everyday routine. I expect to be there on Sunday. I expect to be there at practice. I think back to when I first started school in the first grade and how long it seemed to take to go from first through 12th. You figure in ninth grade you're never going to get out of high school, and you couldn't wait. Here I am in my 14th year and going on 13 for not missing basically a day of school… Part of it is being able to escape injury, overcome some injuries but also be able to play at a high enough level for so long to still be here doing it. The streak itself doesn't stand out to me that it's something I have to continue. As long as I'm a Green Bay Packer, I expect to play. I expect to help this team win and be a tremendous leader. And I expect that to continue until the day I don't play here anymore. commenting on his consecutive-game streak (211 at the time of this article)

If you have never experienced the danger of battle,the loneliness of imprisonment,the agony of torture orthe pangs of starvation,you are ahead of 20 million peoplearound the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator,clothes on your back, a roof overyour head and a place to sleep,you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank,in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are amongthe top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive,you are very rare,especially in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smileon your face and are truly thankful,you are blessed because the majority can,but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug themor even touch them on the shoulder,you are blessed because you canoffer God's healing touch.
If you can read this message,you are more blessed than overtwo billion people in the worldthat cannot read anything at all.
You are so blessed in waysyou may never even know.
If you are feeling blessed, replay the blessings bestowed unto you and do something for others.
A blessing cannot be kept. If it stops with you, then the blessing will disappear. The blessing will only keep working if it is continuously passed around. If you are a recipient of a blessing, keep the blessing working by being the source of blessing to other people.

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two
I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..
No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
Don't try so hard, the best things come when you! least expect them to.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality...
I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.
But I did not quit on the bamboo.
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
"In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. "I would not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.
Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...
But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He said to me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots"
"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others." He said. "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet, they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high!"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and bring back this story.

1. Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
a. free ur heart from hatred
b. free ur minds from worries
c. live simply
d give more
e. expect less
2. Its better to lose ur pride to the 1 u love, than to lose the one u love becuz of pride. We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
3. The measure of love is when u love without measure. In life there are very rare chances that ull meet the person you love and loves u in return. So once you have it dont ever let it go, the chance might never come ur way again.
4. When sumthing happens ti you, good or bad, consider what it means. Theres a purpose to lifes events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry to hard. Ypu cant make some1 love you, all you can do is be some1 who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize ur worth.
5. When u truly care for some1, u dont look for faults, u dont look for answers, u dont look for mistakes. Instead, u fight the mistakes, u accept the faults, and u overlook the excuses. Never abandon an old friend. U will never find one who can take his place. Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older.
6. Disappointments are like road humps, they slow u down a bit but u enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Dont stay on the humps too long. Move on! When u feel down when u didnt get what u want, just sit tight and be happy, becuz God is thinking sumthing better to7. No one can go back and make a brand new start. Any1 can start from now and make a brand new ending. God didnt promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Relient KFOR MOMENTS I FEEL FAINTMy of a point of no improvement
What are the death I still dwell in?I try to excel but I feel no movement
Can I be free of this unreleasable sense
Chorus:-Never underestimate my Jesus
U're telling me that there's no hope
Im telling u u're wrong
NEver underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumble
you will be strong you will be strong
I throw up my hands, of all imposibilities
Frustrated and tired where do I go from here?Now Im such a flaw, the coward that I lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles , is overcoming my fear
"What have I got to lose to share about the overflowing love of God? Gold and silver I have none, God's piece of love I have I share with u
"-Daniel Yap JH-"He is no fool to give what he cannot keep, in order to ain what he cannot lose" -Jim elliot-

You are not an accident"God doesn't play dice"-Albert Einstein-
You are who you are for a reason.You're part of an intricate plan.
You're precious and perfect unique design,Called God's special men or women.
You look like you look for a reasonOur God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,You're just what he wantd to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose, And no matter how you may feel,They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,And they bear the master's seal
Noe that trauma you face was not easy.And God wept that it hurt you so;BUt it was allowed to shape your heart. So that into his likeness you will grow.
You are who you are for a reason,You've been formed by the Master's rod.You are who you are, beloved,Because there is a God!

Lady : Why do you like me..? Why do you love me? Man : I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you.. Lady : You can't even tell me the reason... how can you say you like me?How can you say you love me? Man : I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love you. Lady : Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend'sboyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you! Man : Ok..ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because you are caring, because you are loving, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movements. The lady felt very satisfied with the man's answer. Unfortunately, a fewdays later, the Lady met with an accident and became comma. The Guy thenplaced a letter by her side, and here is the content:Darling,Because of your sweet voice that I love you...Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you.Because of your care and concern that I like you..Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you.Because of your smile,because of your every movements that I love you..Now can you smile? Now can you move?No, therefore I cannot love you...If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love youanymore.Do love need a reason? NO!Therefore, I still love you... And love doesn't need a reason " Sometimes the best and the most beautiful things in the worldcannot be seen, cannot be touched, but can be felt in the heart "x

Message:
>ROSE>
The first day of class our professor introduced himself and challenged us, to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug"? I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course.you may"! And she gave me a giant squeeze. "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age"? I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel". "No seriously", I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one"! she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Everyday for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily>made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped all of her 3 x 5 note cards. Frustrated and a little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order, so let me just tell you what I know". As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor everyday. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly rarely have regrets for the things we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets. She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose". She challenged each of us to study the lyrics. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it! These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE. REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY, GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. Tonight, before you go to bed, give your problems to God. He will be up. He is always up for us, ALL.

Messsage: Tess was a precocious eight year oldwhen sheheard her Mom and Dad talking about her littlebrother, Andrew. All she knew was that he wasvery sick and they were completely out of money.They were moving to an apartment complex nextmonth because Daddy didn't have enough moneyfor the doctor bills and the house payments. Onlya very costly surgery could save him now and itwas looking like there was no-one to loan them themoney.She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother withwhispered desperation, "Only a miracle can savehim now."Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jellyjar from its hiding place in the closet. She pouredall the change out on the floor and counted itcarefully. Three times, even. The total had to beexactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes.Carefully placing the coins back in the jar andtwisting on the cap, she slipped out the back doorand made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Storewith the big Indian Chief sign above the door.She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give hersome attention but he was too busy at thismoment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffingnoise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with themost disgusting sound she could muster. Nogood. Finally she took a quarter from her jar andbanged it on the glass counter. That did it!"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked inan annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to mybrother from Chicago whom I haven't seen inages," he said without waiting for a reply to hisquestion."Well, I want to talk to you about MY brother,"Tess answered back in the same annoyedtone. "He's really, really sick... and I want to buy amiracle.""I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist."His name is Andrew and he has something badgrowing inside his head and my Daddy says only amiracle can save him now. So how much does amiracle cost?""We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'msorry butI can't help you," the pharmacist said, softening alittle."Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn'tenough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much itcosts."The pharmacist's brother was a well-dressed man.He stooped down and asked the little girl, "Whatkind of a miracle does you brother need?""I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes wellingup. "I just know he's really sick and Mommy sayshe needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay forit, so I want to use my money.""How much do you have?" asked the man fromChicago."One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answeredbarely audibly. "And it's all the money I have, but Ican get some more if I need to.""Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "Adollar and eleven cents-the exact price of a miraclefor little brothers." He took her money in one handand with the other hand he grasped her mitten andsaid, "Take me to where you live. I want to seeyour brother and meet your parents. Let's see if Ihave the kind of miracle you need."That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong,a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery. Theoperation was completed without charge and itwasn't long until Andrew was home again anddoing well. Mom and Dad were happily talkingabout the chain of events that had led them to thisplace."That surgery," her Mom whispered, "was a realmiracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?"Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much amiracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents ... plusthe faith of a little child.A miracle is NOT the suspension of natural law,but the operation of a HIGHER law .

>I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked Side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.
My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received." I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.
The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. "How is it that? There's no work going on here?" I asked. "So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked. "Simple," the angel answered. "Just say, "Thank you, Lord" "What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked."If you have food in the refriger ator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep .. you are richer than 75% of this world."If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity. Also, If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ....you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 700 million people in the world."If you can attend a church meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death .. you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world." "If your parents are still alive and still married .. you are very rare."If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you are unique to all those in doubt and despair."

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you." Epilogue: "There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations" "Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled" "If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy" "Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel like there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living person you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too strong for fear, and to happy to permit the presence of trouble.
Isnt the written material above worthile to b think by us? it is wat we should follow...i personally would say dat!suit urself! =p enjoy reading...
