Christmas Gift

Thanks God! I got another Christmas gift from a cell-group member this morning. Thanks~ When I saw the little bookmark filled with the encouraging words, it reminded me those similar things that I usually like to do in the past - writing a few words in a tiny bookmark as an encouragement for others in church. How many years back is not a crucial thing to count. We have been learning so much to be a positive person, today counts, we know, and we should make good efforts for every single day and every tomorrow. We deserved to do that, aren't we?

A few notes have been taken down on today's church service.

1. Make right choices with the right heart.
2. Make choices by discerning God's direction.
3. Trust God's providence.

Christmas Day

Christmas Service, I was late for 5-10 minutes I assumed. It's a combined service, 1st & 2nd. I knew the reason why I was so hard to find myself a seat. The main sanctuary was overcrowded, there were so many people. What would I say but overflowing with thankfulness.

Today's topic was somewhat touched my heart. What's that? It's the matter of doubt, which was the "Questions" related to our belief. (The "why?"" why?" "why?"...)

After the service, a gift was given out to each family, and I got one as well, it's glad to get this Christmas Gift from Church. Thanks God~ Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

HOLY NIGHT~
PASSED BY...
It's time to say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Book Lover

If you can find "life" in a book, then, what can a book mean to you?
Can't even wait for much more longer, but eventually the xxx books sale was already started off yesterday. I really didn't want to miss out the "valuable" or "desirable" published bOoKs, so I just made my very best effort to go there as early as I could, - "Grab" the desired items as much as I could happily. Haha... really can't imagine how crazy I was and how excited the rushing hours went through last night, you know what, I really can't believe that I even entered the hall from the back-door without notice. Well, I'm not a "book worm", however, I love reading.
I somehow managed to grab something as expected.... but not enough.... haha... anyhow... Thanks God~

2012

2012, the end of the world? I watched this movie last night, it's wholly thrilled with horror... a global cataclysm - world end. How can you imagine?..... Movie is just a movie. Anyhow, do u believe that one day the world will come to an end?

Divine Exchange

Divine Exchange
Artist: Abundant Life Ministries

My heart is captivated Lord, by You alone
captured by the awesomeness of You alone
melted by the grace and mercy You have shown
I stand in wonder

I reach to you the one who make the blind can see
who break the chains of sickness with authority
restoring of what was broken
so we may fly again

I live to worship you
I breathe to worship to you
all of my days, your face I'll seek

For as I worship you
You lead me to that place
To that place of divine exchange



Note: The song was sung so often at the end of the church service when Pastor was making certain calling to the congregation. I like this song anyway.

Made A Change

Finally I've made up my mind, I changed my blog skin last night. It was a very interesting and enjoyable experience. I have no blogging for a while. Sometimes when thing has been stopped for so long and we get bored. Perhaps, it's time that we may need a change. And we may then find our passion back. Don't you believe this?

Say Goodbye to my Personal Homepages

Nothing free can last forever. Geocities free homepage was finally closed down.
Two of my personal homepage(s) have just run into a historical page. After all, frankly speaking, I've been leaving them alone for a long long time. ...... sometimes it's hard to say goodbye also, for I'd put so much efforts and times into it. ... many thanks to those who hv visited my homepages, no matter just once, two times, three times, four times, five times or many many times... "THANKS!"

Your Money Map

Title: Your Money Map - A Proven 7-Step Guide to True Financial Freedom
Author: Howard Dayton

I grabbed this book at this afternoon, I am eagerly to learn about the lesson as what the title was mentioned. Money, undeniably, it is not easy to earn. However, we cannot allow it to happen that we become a slave of money. Don't we?

Perspective of Life

It has been quite some time I left here, and now I'm back.
Life has been so busy... and is too fatigued to live for, but the strength of God keeps me living, and to move on continuously from one step to another step. When you acknowledge Him, He can make a difference. ......

I am so grateful that my CG members are actively involve in their daily devotional life, it's such a big encouragement and support to me - a great blessing to share via email. That's why we human being are not an island. We live, and we need fellowship with one another, in Christ, we learn to back others up.


"Today men are consumed by desires to buy things they don't need, with money they don't have, to impress people they don't like. Where do these desires come from?"

You know what, I like the sentences above, I read it last night from a book, it has become a reminder to me as a consumer, how shall I beware of the Madison Avenue Lifestyle to influence me. In other words, ask yourself, we as a Christian, what is the living value of life? purpose of life?

Unity Victory Celebration-13.05.2009

During the praise and worship, 2 pictures only I took, I focused to the left... and shot the scenes. Wonderful God, Beautiful voices, ... powerful prayers..... we stood... we knelt... we confessed... we sang... we clapped...... we worshiped... we shouted...... we all PRAYED!!!...... Your love moved us, Your love united us....... for Your love sake, we wanted to move your mighty hand for this country, to heal the land, to bless the nation...... so much tears were counted by God!.........
Indescribable night! It is a new day.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day~

Mom, you are so great!! Thank you so much!


I was so glad to talk with my mom tonight, and my dad too.
O Lord, let me have more topics with them next times. God bless...

No Fool, Be a Wise Servant.

We did not have Koinos-Cell Group last night! But Extended Prayer Hour! All koinoses were gathered in church for it. What a wonderful gathering! I really appreciated God so much for attracting a lot of people coming to the prayer meeting. This was a combined prayer meeting for both Chinese(Mandarin & Cantonese) and English services. We sang, we worshipped, we prayed, we listened to His words... the presence of God was so great.

So fervently and enthusiastically the invited guest preached the words of God. ...... God anointed her so much, The Holy Spirit with us......
There were something she shared about the power of the darkness in this ages, and how people-Christian from other countries are suffering from the persecution.... and the problems of the unity of churches. ...

I remembered deeply a word that strikes my heart so strong, "Weapon", what do we have for the battle? Nothing I think. But "PRAYER". This is the most powerful weapon gifted from above for we Christian. We should understand that when we say a prayer to God, the devil is shivering and to flee. How great is our God! Won't you hear God now and your eyes still not open ? Thanks God! The Truth set me free. This is our authority. Hallelujah!

A Blessing of God

What is a blessing?
How to define it?
Well, I would say it this way, and you might know what is that.
Since I slept not well last night, I was extremely tired today, I was thinking of not to attend the bible study class tonight, and I was telling myself that I might be unable to attend it due to my body condition. However, my sub-conscious mind was speaking to me something different, and I was understood exactly about it-I will be blessed if I attend the bible study class tonight. Ok, let's say it in the other way, "We will be blessed for doing God's thing(s)." Or I can say, "What a very good blessing to those who pursuit God."
Not only for the good sake of myself, but it is God also.
What have happened before the bible study?
After my work, I went home, I told myself, I would have to make up my decision whether I would go or not.
How did I decide?
If my condition were getting better after my shower I would go. And I told myself, since I've registered for the bible study class (The Book of Acts), thus, I should finish it by attending every class of it. This is the determination I should have.
What was the result?
Thanks God! To tell the true, I was feeling better after taking my shower. Wow! God is so real! Of course, I went out for it.
It was so glad for attending the bible study class tonight, and additionally I was earlier than before. Haha .... Good!! .......

While I'm Waiting

While I'm Waiting
by John Waller


I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord


** I love the lyrics, "I'm waiting...." ... "I will serve You while I'm waiting"
"I will worship while I'm waiting..." ... it reveals & reflects a faithful heart to God..... the process would be very tough & hard...... but never try to give up.... and we will be blessed so much!

Fireproof

We watched this movie tonight in CG. What a very nice and so wonderful movie. It's about "save marriage"...... So moving...

Reference Links:

Ask God to Stop it, if it doesn't come from Him.

Oh.. can't imagine that the day has finally reached to the end of the month. Perhaps we are all distracted always, because we undergo many, many things day after days, and we forget about how practical the existence of time is. However, contradictorily, we are also anticipating for it.
And sometimes, it upsets us when thing doesn't turn out to be the expected result. Then, we will be understood and be acknowledged that the time has yet to come. Now it is always the lesson has to be learned, wait patiently, continue to build up ourselves, faith on, hope in God, aren't we?

Well, I think I was really nervous when it came to my turn to read the verses among the congregation tonight. Haha... well I graded myself 70 point out of 100. It's a compliment to myself. Thanks God. haha...

I liked that final words at the end of tonight's bible study.
"Ask God to stop it, if it doesn't come from Him."

It was a very sensitive argument topic(speaking in tongue) in the churches today...... O God, have Your mercy on "us", take Your throne, bless Your nation.
Absolutely we know that Truth set us free. We are here not to judge, but to love and to proclaim Your love. We learn to obey You the way the bible teaches, Oh Lord Jesus, grant us a wisdom to understand the bible and bring us to walk in the way that align with You. ...

Lord of Lords

Lord of Lords

Beholding your beauty is all I long for
To worship You Jesus with my soul's desire

Hear and surrender in pure adoration

As is fit for the work of your hands

Now unto the lamb who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise him the Lord of Lords

The spirit now living and dwelling within me
Keep my eyes fixed ever upon Jesus' face
Let not the things of this world ever sway me
I'll run 'till I finish the race

Chorus 2:
Singing unto the lamb who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise

** A gentle, wonderful and anointed song, I like the lyrics very much.

Structuring Your Life

Another new week has just started, and soon will be ended. That's life. Isn't it?
My friend couldn't come and join me at church this morning. Because his wife was not feeling well. Perhaps, I think he would better to join his wife to go to her church. Anyway, Thanks God!

Most of the time, I attend only the 1st service, my reasons are:
1. Rush to work.
2. To utilize my time in a more effective way.

However, I went for the 2nd service today, thanks God! It was fresh to me, good to me and my mind was better I would say, because I woke up late, and got enough rest.
Today's title was, "Think Big, but built deep too"
It was a reminder to us.
Think + Action.
-- Spiritually Growing
Pastor mentioned about the devotional time, prayer.....
how much do we spend with God? ... Review!

Believing is not seeing

Thanks God~
"Believing is not seeing." I've learned this for today.
I wanted to attend the Bible Study class, I didn't register for it this Sunday. And that, my CG leader was urging us-CG members to join, she encouraged us. I thanked God that I received her sms before this. Okay, let's go back to my point, I was reporting to work at HQ today, which is far away from my place and church. With Hope, and faith, all the barriers that restrained me to attend it were at end removed. You know what, traffic jam badly along the way to church. But Thanks God! I managed to catch up with the bible study class, though I was late for almost 15 minutes. We studied on the Book of Acts. Well, Well, well, it was really really my pleasure for being there.
I wanted to go, I knew the traffic situation at that time, however, distance and busy traffic road were not the stronghold to keep me from attending the bible study. Thanks God! Believing is not Seeing. Do not slide back for the difficulty.

Good Friday

Good Friday~
The Lord Jesus suffered death to gain us a new life, sin shall no longer be our master. (Reference:- Romans 6:12-23) Hallelujah!! God is Lord! Lord is God! My Glorious Lord!!
Thanks God! We've Sis. Juwita Suwito be our special guest tonight. I really appreciated her talent-singing, to God be the Glory. It was good to remember our Lord Jesus..... we've our Holy Communion tonight as well... Thanks God!

Today is Good Friday, do you feel the difference?......

Shopping

Day off~
Thanks God!
It's a good day!
Noon time,
I traveled to a place which far away from my residence. Oh~ God... my way was lost in the middle of the road... I stopped several times at certain places to ask for the right direction, thanks GOD!! Several kind people I met were willing to give me useful information, and one even took out a piece of paper and a pen to draw me a map. Thanks!! Eventually I reached there. The place was really new to me, it was strange to me as well, and the atmosphere was a bit quiet. Was the safety of this place good?......... okay, just leave it, no comment. By the way, for what reason I went there?
-- Ans.: Christian Bookstore.
I spent for quite some time browsing around there. Again, I grabbed a book, I dare you-embrace life with passion, by Joyce Meyer, some very cute pocket cards, and a free CD-Let the Praise Ring.

Well, honestly saying, I think most probably I wouldn't go there if nothing particular. Too far, I would rather go to the nearest branch. Why? I wish to save cost & time.

** Attended again for the orchestra show this afternoon, to be honest, I like only the Piano Concerto. Great!!

Your mind is the battlefield

There is a war going on, and your mind is the battlefield.

Oh God~ Thank you Lord! I love this message so much. I read this from the book of Joyce Meyer, It was liked a lightning which sharply and strongly shine on me speedily, oh Lord, my eyes was opened, it refreshed my mind, what I meant was that I really realize that this is the war of spirituality. No matter now, tomorrow or the next coming days, it does happen in my life, the fact is, I need to overcome it. Be alert of this, I can learn to trust in God at all time. Am I not? O Lord, have mercy on me, bless me. Thank you God! Praise you Lord!

And please read this,

But the good news is that God is fighting on your side.

Your weapons:-
1. Word of God
2. Praise
3. Prayer

Battlefield of the mind - Winning the Battle in Your Mind

A friend introduced a famous person to me 3-4 weeks ago, she is Joyce Meyer, a great lady in the world, particularly in the Christian community. I had listened to her audio sermon before. It was great, anointed. ..... and so I grabbed one of her book unconditionally this afternoon when I saw it in the Christian bookstore where I visited. And thanked God! I got 10% off the price of this item. ^_^

(1) Sometimes I get so tired,
Just trying to find a place,
To lay my head,
I look up to the sky,
I feel the warmest light comfort me,
I've seen the great heights,
Reminding me... that I'm alive,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna waste another day,
Or night,
I know there's something more,
Than what we're living for,
I see it in the stars,
I feel it on the shores,
I know there's something,
I know there's something more.

(2) I think we're all afraid,
That we might be alone,
Alone down here,
We all want to have some faith,
At least that's true in my case,
To just believe,
I've seen the great height,
Reminding me... that I'm alive,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna waste another day,
Or night,
I know there's something more,
Than what we're living for,
I see it in the stars,
I feel it on the shore,
I know there's something,
This world may crumble,
Into the ocean,
It could all end tonight,
I undermined you,
Then tried to find you,
My only source of light,
There breathing,
I am alive,
Breathing,
I am,
Alive,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna waste another day or night,
I know there's something more,
Than what we're living for,
I see it in the stars,
I feel it on the shore,
I know that I'm alive,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna waste another day,
Or night,
I know there's something more,
Than what we're living for,
I see it in the stars,
I feel it on the shore,
I know there's something more.



*** At this very moment... I feel so good... I like this song very much ... it touches my heart... comforts me,... it reminds me that who is the one that I put my trust in, who my God is ... honestly say, sometimes... or many times... we are getting very tired.... tired of what? nothing... but tired of difficulties that will never cease,... aren't we?

Live enjoying the present

Sermon Notes:

1. Some live in the present but too focused on the future.
2. Some live in the present and overwhelmed by the present.
3. Some live in the present but bound by the past.
4. Some live enjoying the present but yet preparing for the future.


Which one reflect to my present circumstance?

BBQ + Dinner

It was great I would say the BBQ last night.
After my work, I made haste to that sister in Lord's house, I thanked God that I was able to find the way to get there. Yeah~ it was quite smooth though the traffic was suck in the middle of road. Thanks God~

I didn't eat very much last night. It was not because of my appetite was not good but it would be better to take food in a moderate manner. oh ya... how to eat healthily? it's an very important lesson. By the way, I did enjoy the BBQ & the gathering last night... met some new friends... but forgot their name.... so careless...

Anyway, it was good to have dinner with a couple-my friends tonight. Good time!! And thanks for the advise regarding to my career.
Thank you Lord!

Combined Koinos BBQ - 27.02.2009 (Friday)

What was it inside wrapped bbq paper? Fish....

What's that...?

Can't see the chicken wings? Haha...

Morning Trip

I am very tired...
It was so excited but still tired I would say.
Anyway, I did enjoy it.
Okay, so what was it about?
I was aroused by the knocking sound of my door. It was about 3.2x a.m. Wow... so early... okay!
It was my pleasure to offer my help. Went out to fetch a friend's elder sister who was waiting for us some where in the city, and then, drove them off to the transportation centre of the city. (Have a peaceful journey, God bless you two)Thanks God! Everything worked smoothly, though I drove on the wrong road at first, however, I was able to get my way back in a very short while. Praise the Lord! You know what, to tell the true, my mind was still unclear at the time I went into my bed again after I reached home at about 420a.m. ...... and woke up again at about 900 a.m. to go out to work...... so funny...... though it was painful, as I had got not enough sleep but it was a very good experience, and I recalled some memories many years ago....
It's a tired day.... my eye bags are getting worse.... ah ah... gotta sleep early tonight.... God bless~

Praise You Lord

Thanks God! Day off today.

Well, today was a bit busy. But it's good!! People may say, they don't have enough money to spend. And as for me, well, I think this is true. Why? Because time is money. And we always have inadequate time to spend for our works personally. Haha.. do you agree with me, I guess you will do. And I did experience this.

I like the message shared this morning in church, it's about "forgiveness... love..." it's like God was talking to me... praise and worship session is always very moving... I was nearly weeping, but the fact that I was resisting my tear(s) to be flowing out, and dropping down. I was strong to do this, but it's not 100%, it was 60-70% I would say, until the time I used my finger to tip on my cheek, it's wet, oh God, my tears, you know what, the tear was flown down without control. I failed to stop my tears flowing out. Praise You Lord! You touched me, You soothed my heart.

God is my shepherd, He will lead me, and stretch out His arm to me in the time of trouble(s)... Have Faith... Trust HIM!!

It's great! I went to attend a classical music concerts this afternoon, Symphony no.IOO in G Military, Haydn. Wow... so great!

God is in Control of everything

" 我深信神使萬事互相效力,叫愛神的我得益處! "

I saw this message was declaring in a new added friend's facebook.
Let me referred to the bible(Roman 8:28) and translated it this way,

I know that God causes everything to work together for good to myself who love God.

Wah... What a very good faith in God! And indeed, somehow it reminded me how powerful the word of God is. Our God, my God, the only God, who I trust in, is the most powerful one. Hallelujah! Praise God! Praise God Almighty! He is the one who conduct amazing work(s). That words were really encouraging me. Thanks God!
Faith on! Fear not! Be courageous! And Strong!

** It refreshed my heart when we were singing this song in the CG last night. Unfailing love, which is God's love. O Lord, praise You Lord~ Give thanks to You, God.

Trust & Hope

The days seem so tough to me.
It strikes me so bad, it hits me so much,
I have never thought of this were to happen.
And the fact has just shown to me how merciless it is,
in a flurry and discouragement, my tongue could not tell of any words,
I wish I could gain as many sympathies as I could,
Oh no, I expect for more understanding and supports,
however, God is to tell me that it is not the reason.

I need to be strong, and stronger than before,
Oh Lord, I say,
"I think I am not strong enough for this times."
But the fact is telling me that,
I am able to face it, and to overcome it.
In the stillness, I continue to learn to trust in You,
Your soothing hands comfort me, and heal me.
In You, my precious Lord, I put my trust,
You make me strong, and there's hope and peace I found in You.


** facing a very hard time in my career, and yet God is with me, and He comforts me with His greatest love. I sing to God, in His presence, I'm undone.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday!
I was blessed! Thanks God!
It was really different to the past few years!
1. Over the past few years, this was the only 1st times I received a birthday greeting from my superior early in the morning, as well as the birthday's cake tonight, it's very nice and it tasted really good. You know what, it was the very 1st SMS birthday greeting I got early in the morning. I was really moving. Her relationship with me was getting better dramatically. Thanks God! my efforts, my prayers, my endurance... have not become a void of work though the favoritism existed badly.
2. I felt really good, and was very happy tonight, 2 of my friends were celebrating my birthday with me. We really had a very good time in that Japanese restaurant. Wow... the food there tasted really good... and we luv it so much.
3. Thanks for the SMS greetings & blessings, as well as phone greeting and greeting over internet.
4. Thanks for the Gift! Thanks for the time! Thanks God!
5. Thanks God! I did really enjoy the praise & worship time this morning. Great!

I didn't buy any birthday present for myself this year, but I did it differently this year-spending something for others.
I hope my birthday's wishes will come into reality within this year! Oh Lord, please remember this. Amen. :)

The measure of a Christian

And finally it came to the night of CG gathering. Thanks God~
I was really excited. And I thanked God that I was managed to find my destination. Before that, I had had my dinner, and my shower, wow... so refreshing ...
Every one was very nice. And I like a little baby of a couple, well..well ... well.... she's just so cute...

We studied the book of James - chapter 1: 1
'The measure of a Christian.'

Well... this is something to do with who? a Christian, me myself... how am I going to response to God's love, do I need to do anything in order to gain His love, His salvation ... His mercy...
Grace.... it is the grace of God. Our love to God is not determined by only what we do for HIM, but a pure heart.

Here In Your Presence

Here in Your Presence
By New Life Worship


Found in Your hands, fullness of joy
Every fear suddenly wiped away here in Your presence
All of my gains now fade away
Every crown no longer on display, here in Your presence
Heaven in trembling in awe of Your wonders
the kings and their kingdom are standing amazed

Chorus:
Here in Your presence, we are undone
Here in Your presence, Heaven and Earth become one
Here in Your presence, all things are new
Here in Your presence, everything bows before You

Bridge:
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchless in every way
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchless in every way
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchless in every way
Wonderful, beautiful, glorious, matchless in every way

Chorus:
Here in Your presence, we are undone
Here in Your presence, Heaven and Earth become one
Here in Your presence, all things are new
Here in Your presence, everything bows before You

Here in Your presence, we are undone
Here in Your presence, Heaven and Earth become one
Here in Your presence, all things are new
Here in Your presence, everything bows before You


** I like this song when I first heard of it. It's a wonderful song... nice!!

For your Good sake

I haven't blogged for a little while. ... One of the main reason I haven't blogged is because of I don't know how to say already, what I mean is I've got so many things squeezing in my heart, I'd like to speak out, and yet I fail. Well... it's okay.

It was quite busy recently. And there's ups & downs...... no matter it was the political issue of the country that broke out recently, or thing(s) about I myself. Anyway, I just hate favoritism so much! But I can't do anything to change it. ...... but ... but you know what, I'm not defeated. I'm strong enough to go on my life, and still there's the love of God which encouraging me to move on.
And you know what, "God's power is our/my protection". Who can harm me?

.......

I've come out a conclusion for myself,
no matter how embarrassing things happened to me recently, and no matter how terrible thing to be fed up with, ... but one thing,
I know for sure,
God wants to link me back to Him for a very good sake-Good blessing. And He has given me a very good reason to accept & comprehend a very particular doubtful question an answer. Now I understand the reason why. It's sad, but thanks God!

Boarding - 29.01.2009

After check-in, getting ready & waiting for the calling of boarding... but after this pic was taken, I went for my meal first.
Date: 29.01.2009 Time: Morning.

Ruth 1:16-17

All the while the bible audio was playing... and this happened to me suddenly, the verse, "Don't ask me to leave you......." came in to my ear... it was like a lamp that was just switched on in a dark room. It touched my heart deeply.... the words were so moving... and my eyes got wet...

Here are the particular verses I've taken down... (Ruth 1: 14-18)

And again they wept together, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye. But Ruth clung tightly to Naomi.
"Look," Naomi said to her,
"your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. You should do the same."

But Ruth replied,

"Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!"

When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more.

Schoolmates Gathering - 26th of Jan '09

Smith, Hong, Anthony & me.

Acknowledge God

Wow... you see, time just passed by like that... now I'm back to this city. ... I miss my family... what can I do?... "Acknowledge Him, & He will instruct you to walk in the right way..."

Haha... I'm very sure that I'm not a workaholic. You know what, tomorrow I will have to go back to the company started to work again, but now I'm still in a very deep holiday mood. I hate the burdens that bound me all the times at work. Anyway, O Lord, You're my strength, You're my hope, You're my Mighty God! You're my Shepherd.

Damn tired...

Happy Chinese New Year 2009! Good blessings......

On My Way Back to Hometown

After doing my preparation & packing my luggage ... now it reaches to 1.50am. Just finished my shower... it is 23th of January 2009 today.

I was very glad to hear from a sister in Christ yesterday afternoon, her invitation of asking me to join their fellowship for tonight is very much appreciated. Well... I think I would only be able to join them after coming back from my holiday. I was just a little bit more to be excited.

New Year... new Life (I really hope to live a new life in Christ again...)... New Hope ... and of course, the blessings of God would be falling down abundantly....

Leaving soon ... & very soon.

Rewarding myself a gift

Thanks God~
Finally I grabbed this watch tonight~ no one willing to present me that, so I need to get it and paid it myself. Bargained for a good price for it. Thanks for my colleague's help too. To be frank, I have been wearing no watch for many years. Now it's the time to reward myself with this as a CNY gift. :)

Wow... I really can't imagine that how fast it can be... after tomorrow... then, I will be leaving... what about my preparation?.... da... da... da... okay, now this is called, "busy".

May God bless......

CNY Scene - 1U

Won't you feel the atmosphere of Chinese New Year...?

Living the God Life

Just wish to read a new spiritual book, therefore, I took some time browsing around in a Christian bookstore in the afternoon after my lunch. In fact, I was looking for Anita Corrine Donihue's writings. I like the way she expressed her writing, but since I couldn't find it, I just purchased this one. I can spend my time on plane to read this book. Yuh! I will be going back to my hometown very very soon. ......

I hanged out with a friend to 1U tonight, however, you know what, I ended up my shopping with nothing, but Häagen-Dazs ice cream, it was funny I think. I am not a shopaholic anyway. Perhaps I was too picky and unfamiliar with this place.

Returned home late tonight, I found an invitation letter from a church in my mailbox. To be honest, my first impression was very happy, with a full sense of curiosity I opened up the letter. And then, I understood the reason for this. :) it's so warm...

Seek Him

Day off~ Thanks God~
I wanted to sleep more... but as usual I myself was awakened. Perhaps I've used to be like that. I mean I wake up at that hour usually.

Well, I think there are too many stuffs to cope with, and I don't really have enough extra time to spend with. And by the way, thanks God! Finally I've got most of the required photo(s) printed out, you know, it's always costly for that service. But if I don't do it, then, I will disappoint my family. That's a compulsory offering, I need to do it, it's a blessing, ok. :) And likewise, I've brought one of my jeans to a tailor, and she fixed it successfully, and thanks God, she charged me with a reasonable price, it costs me RM3.00 to sew back the pocket.

When your mind was fully congested by too many stuffs, then, it's the right time to come before God, and take your time to read, to speak and to listen to Him. Then, you will find the peace of mind from God.


What have God said to me? Seek Him.

Give thanks!

A brand new Day! Give thanks to God!
Waking up early in this morning~ And today I went on my 2nd times to join the 1st service of this church which situated at this area. Well, I was surprised that somebody came to me, and asked for my full name. And that, one thing I felt very warm and happy, is that they still remember my nickname. Even though I previously attended the 2nd service of theirs, but their very good memory made me felt good. Thanks!

However, my attempt for joining their 1st service was failing myself to be punctual to reach at the office. I was almost 20 minutes late. So God, how? tell me please...

Here's the bulletin for this Sunday, and it came with a few pieces of "Ang Pau" that printed with words of blessings.


This was the another bulletin I collected from another church on last Sunday. I like their vision, "BUILDING GOD'S COMMUNITY & MAKING KNOWN HIS GLORY".
Great~ and I like their gathering... Yeah! however, nothing seems to be perfect, the celebration schedule is not match to my working hour. What I mean is, at the time I am still worshiping God and am listening to His sermon, it has already been reaching to my working hour. x_x



After my work, I made haste to one of the education exhibition in which held at a shopping centre. But, I would never thought that I would be late or missed it out. You know what, today is the last day, and it ended up at 7pm. My arrival time was over. Sh?t! I was totally late.
and I was disappointed too.

Anyway... I did grab something for Chinese New Year in this big big shopping centre. Yeah! Dinner... leaving... home....

Greeting Card

Blink~ I found this in my mailing box tonight. To be frank, I was very glad to receive it, because I seldom receive any greeting card for the past few years. And I myself also very rare to post CNY greeting card to others. Thanks~ And you know what, instantly I replied the sender by phone tonight, it was so glad. ... However, funny is, the name of the recipient is my younger sister's name & family, haha... okay, the sender typed it wrongly, ......."Sorry... sorry...".... it's okay, I accepted. Thanks! Anyway.

Lanterns & Trees

the night of lanterns..

Red Lanterns

Nice scene.

God is my healer

I'm not feeling well. Somehow I finally made up my mind, I stayed back at home, and took sick leave today. Okay, this times I went to see another doctor at another clinic. It's glad that she gave me advise, and taught me how to do a practical "self-healing", ....... wah... I've got it. And at last I asked if I could do any exercise, such as swimming & running, as I've been doing no exercise for almost two weeks, and she told me, swimming is okay, it is good(breathe), so I swam this afternoon, it's enjoyable. u know what, this is what we call "Medical Consultation", I was happy and satisfied with this, not like most of the other doctor(s) I met before this, they didn't give very much consultation & even no helpful guidelines, in general, they would ask you what's wrong, ... then, said, he/she would give the relevant medicine(s) for me, that's it. And the price, there's no much different. Anyway, I was thankful to God!

Jesus Christ, He is the Healer!

First Novel

See... this is the classic novel I grabbed this evening. I've been thinking & wondering for so long... I wanted to buy a novel book to read, and finally I got this. Thanks God! Perhaps, there will be more to read on the coming days...... see, this guy really look like want to be a "worm of book". haha...

Burden(s)

It was very great last night, chatted with a friend of mine... Thanks God~
The morning was new, refreshing... and it came with hope. But why am I still holding the bag of burden?......

I was excited. One of the reason was that I will be going to join the Church Prayer & Healing Night.
......
It has been a long long time I've never been attending the church prayer meeting. U know what, it made me realized this only at time when I was sitting in the auditorium. Well, it was a very good start of the year 2009. This was the first church prayer & healing night of the year. It's a blessing for attending it tonight. Was it not. I was really touched by the "invisible" voices that whispering in my heart. Many times I just ignored it like a habit. However, God will never ever stop doing His wonderful & amazing works. You would never know if you were not experience it before.
I asked for God's forgiveness for my mistakes & problems...... I need prayer, but I didn't go to the front of the stage when the Senior Pastor was making the calling, I saw many people stepped to the front, but I remained standing and prayed myself. why? I knew why.

Prayer Watch:
International, Pray for the nation, Pray for the Church... etcs

I did not have my dinner, my dinner was a bread, and the instant oatmeal I simply cooked tonight... anyway, it's a sweet memory... Thanks God~

Faith

Oh God~
The night sucks! I terribly coughed the whole night. I really didn't know how many hour I slept last night. I really afraid of unable to wake up in the next morning to attend the church service. But thanked God! I managed to get up. Well, I think this was the 4th times I came here. It's something that made me felt guilty, and it whispered in my ear. Okay, I think I should stop asking my friend to come along with me to join the English celebration since he doesn't know English at all. Though he told me it was ok, but I think I shall ask him to go back to Chinese celebration for his best understanding.

What is faith? Today's title talked about faith.
We've special speaker with us, he asked, ... So... what is faith?
The answer given was something I had never thought of or heard of, which is, RISK.
FAITH IS RISK.
So weird?... perhaps... but NO. I agreed.
In a sense that we all need faith when we come across to a very difficult or a very hard circumstances.

Regretless

It's another step I've just moved myself on.
I still can't foresee the full picture,
so I won't believe the unseen views before it reaches to its end.
Positively, it can be happy or sad,
but I told myself, I would never regret of what I've been going through for this.
For I would regret if I were to miss up the opportunity that will never ever come back again in my life.

Relieves Coughing Please

Oh..God~
2 things to mention, one is good, one is bad. However, give thanks to God for all.
1st. Give thank - I'm recovering from my flu.
2nd. Get Sick - my cough is getting worse... I cough badly.

I really cannot stand for it, I want to get well very soon, therefore, I went out tonight ... at a franchise, carefully I chose a cough syrup, it's called "peppermint cough syrup" for cough due to colds, with some promotion words printed on the cover,
"RELIEVES COUGHING
SOOTHES SORE THROAT
LOOSENS PHLEGM
EXPELS MUCUS"

Ok.. ok.. let's see how, 50ml, got it. what's the brand? oh.. no need to mention here. Hopefully it will be good to me. May God bless.

Run to God

I was just so moved last night when my friend told of her feedback to me. I thought she has spoken to the wrong person, and I said sorry, it wasn't me. You know what, ... then only I realized. It was me who did the good job. She was talking to the right person. haha... I really appreciated her for remembering me. I would never think that something I consider it just a very little thing, and I just did it as normal as it is, and it will at last make a different. How amazing work! There were all just a forwarded emails, but God utilized it to do wonderful thing. Thanks God!! We may sometimes overlook or look down at any little thing we do. However, the fact tells us, it's not like that. It can be a blessings to other people.

Holiday mood... Chinese New year is around the corner. I have my own new year anticipation(s), but time is always the constraint. You expect to do something, or to go for something that is very exciting, & interesting... but you can't fight with the time. And financially you don't have enough spending for it.

Let the Hope of Life shines upon us, let the Love of God showering us, let our faith grows like a big mountain... let's keep on our efforts, run to God!
