Swimming!

Does any one knows when was swimming introduced to the public?? Well, according to the Wikipedia, swimming has been recorded since prehistoric times; the earliest recording of swimming dates back to Stone Age paintings from around 7,000 years ago! Long aye? However, the first book about swimming was only written about 432 years ago by a German professor and the first swimming competition was held about 210 years ago =D

My first swimming experience was when I was about 4 years old, I used to have this mini swimming pool in my house. However, grandpa was afraid that his little ones might fall into the pool one day and drown. So dad have no choice but to filled up the pool and make it into another car porch. Sad huh? =( oh well, we still got to head down to nearby, big public pool all the time =D

So yeap, ever since then, my favorite past time have always been swimming. Luckily, there is a heated pool in Dunedin that I can go to. Though we need to pay to go in, but being able to go at least once a week already makes me a very happy girl =D

I am really tired of explaining myself over and over again.
Feelings: very disappointing and tired of talking to you

Thank you for teaching me this valuable lesson Father =)

Words just can not explain my gratitude to the Lord for answering my prayers now =D I prayed for a chance to serve Him and being part of the Connect Ministry had never come into my mind.

To be honest, I often find it hard to connect to people. Well, things just do not come naturally to me that easily as compare to the rest of the member in the ministry. Yeah, and doing things that I am not good in, does seems like a superb big challenge to me >.< I was struggling for a while if this is really where I meant to serve and this verse came to me.

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
2 Corinthians 12:9

With this, I am more than willing to surrender myself to the Lord, along with all the weaknesses within me. For only in with His love and grace that I can serve, and not with my own strength alone. Thank you for teaching me this valuable lesson Father =)

A new Book =D

Just went down to the Civic Center to pay my parking ticket, here goes my $40 flying off my pocket... T.T Oh well, just wanna say that I also went to the nearby Manna bookshop and got this awesome book from there =D

The title of the book is "His Princess: Love Letters from Your King". This book is written to encourage all ladies out there that you are God's precious Princess. It also tell us of who we are, why we are here and how much we are loved by God. Is pretty inspiring =) Allow me to share the 1st love letter from our King to you...

I choose you before the foundation of the earth to be My princess. You are royalty even when you don't feel like a princess. I will wait for you until you are ready to start living the amazing plans I have for you. I know you don't know where to begin or how to become what I've called you to be, so let Me teach you day by day. Start by recognizing who I am: King of kings and Lord of lords. The lover of your soul. When the two of us meet alone together every day, I will show you how to let go of things in your life that are holding you back from the blessing I want to give you.

Remember, My child, just I have chosen you, I have given you a choice to represent Me to the world. If you are willing, I am here to give you all you need to complete your calling.

Love, Your King and Lord who choose you

YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE ME, I CHOOSE YOU. I APPOINTED YOU TO GO AND PRODUCE FRUIT THAT WILL LAST, SO THAT THE FATHER WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR, USING MY NAME.
JOHN 15:16

Just a random thought

Women tend to look for men that they can reply on, not men that tell them to be independent.
If they are independent, they will not be needing you.
So men stop telling your woman to get it done by themselves, just because you felt lazy.
Do it with a proud heart and mind that you are chosen to be the one that they can be rely on.
