New York, The big Apple baby! =D

less than a month!

It’s the Marine, Sailor, Soldier and Airmen

It’s the Marine, Sailor, Soldier and Airmen not the reporter
Who has given us the Freedom of the Press.
It’s the Marine, Sailor, Soldier and Airmen not the poet,
Who has given us the Freedom of Speech.
It’s the Marine, Sailor, Soldier and Airmen not the politicians
That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
It’s the Marine, Sailor, Soldier and Airmen who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.

God Never Blinks: Lesson 4

Lesson 4: Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

What I learned is that, some times, people often take themselves too seriously. They want to achieve this and that, sacrificing their time and health, and the end of the day? They will be all worn out, unable to take a step further and feeling empty inside instead of being satisfied with their achievement.

So are you one of them? Are you beating yourself up for the unreasonable high expectation and pressure that you have been giving yourself? Or that hope and dreams that you think others had put onto you? Well, good news! Now is the time to put them down and not worry too much on it =)

Go on, jump out into the rain and dances your heart out.
Put on that lovely dress that you have been keeping for special moments
Skip your way down the hallway like a kid
Wear different color of socks or better still, if you are a guy, get one of those silly cartoon tie
( I think guys with those guys have a good sense of humor =p)
Start a food fight!

haha, no matter what it is, make sure that, you are enjoying life as it while working your way towards your dreams.

Freedom from human rules

A leader in church went for a short trip with an opposite gender member in the church. No one know of it, until they have came back together. They were no married of course, hence many critics was poured unto them. Regardless of any sexual sin was ever committed, the judgment was placed.

This happened long ago, and I was shocked to hear bout the details now. Because I knew them, and I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Since the leader was strong in his stand when other couple were getting too close physically, I thought they will not be easily tempted. However, I am in no position to judge either, I am a sinner too. Still, I'm really annoyed at the fact that this leader was out there judging people around me before, I'm pretty sure he had something to say bout me too..

Today scripture speak of Freedom from human rules 2 colossians 1:16~23, which answers this scenario perfectly. No, I'm not saying that this leader should be judged and punish. No one in this world is qualified but God himself. Instead, this passage gives us a good guideline on how to face them and that how we can learn not to be like them or else, we will be facing the same treatment like they will be facing.. I do pray hard I don't and won't be like this.

Brother and sister in Christ, please correct me of I'm wrong. Slap me if you ever need to. I'll be greatful to you later.
