So close yet so far

I didn't felt so disappointed when I broke up with my ex,
but today I felt it, I was really disappointed.

I went to see Nick Vujicic. However, there were so many people at the church that, those who were late were all turned away. I was one of them. Even when I was there ahead of time, way before the scheduled time. I searched and searched for a car park and walked a distance. Then I was turn away. 

So close yet so far. Next time, I will be there early =(

Thankful

I am thankful to still have you to care for me and be patient on me.
I am thankful to still have you believe in me despite all that I have done unto you.
I am thankful that you still call me your friend.

Be happy my friend and know that she is a lucky girl ;)

I'm glad I helped.

I stayed back quite late last night, to work on a presentation with my colleague. As much as I'm angry with my boss for changing things last minute, but I guess I have my part to play as well. If only I put in more effort into it, then we wouldn't have to stay so late. That reminds me of a verse from the Bible.

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

Ephesians 6: 5–6

Although the night was tough and long, but I'm glad I stayed back to help. My colleague finally able to present it on her own and she had improved so much then. She thank me later that day and I can felt her sincerity in it. It felt warm and fuzzy in my heart. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-6

She went up to the stage and shared how her illness had overwhelm her. How badly it had affected her sleep, her life, her frustration, not being understood by her husband and finally her frustration with God. Her helplessness had bring her nowhere but only distancing herself from those around her. Then in the mid of the helplessness, God drew her back to Him. Wrapping Himself around her, as she knelt down in her prayer once again,  He told her that she is His "beautiful princess". God promised her that every thing is going to be okay, softening her heart and allowing her to rest in Him. So there she was, sharing her testimony with the church, seeking our help to pray for her and also sharing such moving testimony.

Under the stage, I saw how her husband hold her hands, as though they are a newly married couple once again. I am awe by the fact that she just confess how her illness affected their relationship and yet they can still keep the relationship alive despite all that had happened. What an amazing role model to learn from!

old school

I was having this chat with my colleague the other day and she says that blogger is quite out dated already. Haha, I do agree with her, so I guess I'm part of the old school clan now. I tried other blogging website before, such as tumblr. But I still find blogger easier to manage, not to mention that I can customized the template of my blog (easily*).

So old school or not, I guess I just need a platform where I can share my ideas or keep a record of all the things I thought of or felt of. It does not serve as a broadcaster (though some people will take it personally for all the things that I said on this blog). Oh well, I guess if you are not comfortable reading them, then don't click onto my blog and read. I never put a knife on your neck and force you to read it. Right?

Some of the bible study questions worth sharing =)

Some of the bible study questions worth sharing =)

1. Are you alive spiritually or just breathing, going through the motions?
2. Are you so thirsty for God that on any other day, you can only be satisfied when you've drunk deeply of Him?
3. Do you desire God more than any thing else, like as if He's there in person with you right now?
4. Do you taste the sweetness, peace and love, like God deep in you now?
5. Just the thought of God- does it captivate you?

Time to make the dreams come true.

God's glory comes in all forms and sizes.

Some one said "if being a christian is so hard, might as well, we stay on being a non-christian". It is a very mislead statement. The whole purpose of being a christian is not getting all the blessing from God or to have an eternal life. It is to bring God's glory.

Imagine some one gives  you a 100 dollar note, brand new and crispy clean. You would take right away. Now imagine it being crumbled, would you still take it? I'm sure you would. Lastly, imagine it being crumbled and stepped on. All dirty and dusty, but it is still the 100 dollar note. Would you still take it? I bet you would, because the 100 dollar value is still there.

Now God's glory is like the value of the 100 dollar note. No matter how much suffering we went through, or how good of a life we had, God's glory is still there. Just because is not presented in a pretty or presentable forms, it doesn't mean that is not there. So remember that no matter what situation we are in, God's glory is with us. I hope this makes sense to you.

*********************

I am very much blessed to be part of my current home church. It was a regret for not coming to the church earlier, not able to meet the awesome people from my cell. However, I'm still very much grateful that I'm here with the church today and with my cell group. Being able to meet different people from different background and stages of life really open my eyes to the world. 

Looking forward to meet more beautiful people from church! Keep me in your prayers. 

A celebration =)

Live life to the fullest

I don't want to get to the end if my life
and find that I have just lived the length of it.
I want to have lived the width of it as well.

The right guy, the right time and the right place.

I wasn't ready to commit myself.
I wasn't ready for marriage.
I wasn't ready at all.

Now that I think back, the breakup was not a bad idea after all.
It seems like the best way out for both of us.

I wasn't the one he need.
I wasn't the one he want.
I wasn't the right one.

Hopefully, one day, we will both find the right one at the right time. Funny that he used to asked me that among the right time, the right people and the right place (i think something like this), which one matters to me most. I still find it hard to answer, all three still matter to me.

The right guy, the right time and the right place.

好一句，不够爱。

不够爱与不爱，是不同的。

不够爱，是有爱过，有付出过。
当他／她说爱你时，他们都是认真的。

唯一的地方，就是他们对你的爱，不知有多深。
到底，他们爱你的程度是足够让你们一起天长地久，
或是做个暂时性的情人，

除了她／他以外，无人知 

funny share!

A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and shit on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

What's your lesson for the day?

Every single day, there is a lesson to be learn from God.
The lesson is not made to punish us or to condemn us.
It is made to teach us to be more Christ like.

So what's your lesson for the day?

What is holding you back?

Sometimes, it isn't the hurt or the wrongs that others done unto us that's holding us back.
It is the grudge that we, ourself, held on dearly to.
It made us harder to move on, unable to let ourself love again and eventually

unable to pass on the love of Christ had for us.
