Thursday, August 06, 2009 Two Year Old Sings Lord's Prayer--SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!! Sunday, July 12, 2009 Meaningful songs. Saturday, June 20, 2009 After so long, I am back writing my blog… As many had known that I had just transfer to Adults 2nd service on 31 May 2009, I will said here come the adults life but on the other side I am still very young in the group too. Just less then a month I been with the adults group, I will said I already started missing a lot of people whom I work closely with in PolyDiNs Service and also my beloved girls when I was their CL, we had a lot of up and downs and a lot of fun time together, i shall said I will not forget the memories. I also miss the leadership team which we used to serve together in DI and the things we always want to see as we pioneer. The other group I miss is the UA people, I remember whenever there is a deadline to meet, and we are always prepare to give and helping out thru out the camp also. Last group I miss is my MM team, every duty we work together we always laugh and always learn from one another and I miss serving with them. Last but not least, another group I miss is the one I am very close with, different congregation is hard to see one another but as long we keep in contact and give out same time for one another, it is possible to meet too. Anw I will be catching up with some during July 1st week lehz..excited for the meet up too… meet up... Actually I just came back from a 4 days 3 night camp at KL @ the Legend Hotel. This is my first experience in adult’s camp and this is my first time in KL as I always wanted to go. To my disappointment, I did not get to go to the Twin Tower during the free and easy :(. In this adult’s camp, the theme is HEROES. First thing that came to my mind is, who the HEROES in my life? During this camp, my entire 3 objective was being answered by God and in this camp I learn many things thru Pastor Jeff and Pastor Simon. I can sense the spirit is very high during this 4 days in the ballroom and all I can said is that I did not regret going because I learn many thing from Pastor Jeff and Pastor Simon. **ermm I don’t know wad I am trying to said in this entry cause what come to my mind, I just type… Stay tune for next update.

Tuesday, April 14, 2009 Josh Bates Never Give Up On Me lyrics Time after time you've been left behind Like the sun when it's starting to rain Time after time you've been forgotten Like a picture that's faded with age Time after time you ran after me When I was still running away Chorus: You never give up on me No, You never give up on me Though I'm weak you are strong You told me I still belong No, you never, never give up on me Time after time I've used your grace As a way to do what I please I've taken for granted prayers that you answered Never been all I could be You are holding out your hands And now I clearly see Chorus You always erase all my mistakes You lift me up when I'm down Through all the ages, Your love never changes You welcome me just as I am Chorus Never give up, never give up on me...

Can be depended on to follow through. Usually puts the needs of others above their own needs. Stable and practical, they value security and traditions. Well-developed sense of space and function. Rich inner world of observations about people. Extremely perceptive of other's feelings. Interested in serving others Meet ISFJs Life As an ISFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you takes things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. ISFJs live in a world that is concrete and kind. They are truly warm and kind-hearted, and want to believe the best of people. They value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people's feelings. People value the ISFJ for their consideration and awareness, and their ability to bring out the best in others by their firm desire to believe the best. ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after the event occured, if the situation made an impression on the ISFJ. ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method. ISFJs learn best by doing, rather than by reading about something in a book, or applying theory. For this reason, they are not likely to be found in fields which require a lot of conceptual analysis or theory. They value practical application. Traditional methods of higher education, which require a lot of theorizing and abstraction, are likely to be a chore for the ISFJ. The ISFJ learns a task best by being shown its practical application. Once the task is learned, and its practical importance is understood, the ISFJ will faithfully and tirelessly carry through the task to completion. The ISFJ is extremely dependable. The ISFJ has an extremely well-developed sense of space, function, and aesthetic appeal. For that reason, they're likely to have beautifully furnished, functional homes. They make extremely good interior decorators. This special ability, combined with their sensitivity to other's feelings and desires, makes them very likely to be great gift-givers - finding the right gift which will be truly appreciated by the recipient. More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people's feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set. Many ISFJs learn to express themselves, and find outlets for their powerful emotions. Just as the ISFJ is not likely to express their feelings, they are also not likely to let on that they know how others are feeling. However, they will speak up when they feel another individual really needs help, and in such cases they can truly help others become aware of their feelings. The ISFJ feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. They take their responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on them. The ISFJ has a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. In such cases, the ISFJ does not usually express their difficulties to others, because they intensely dislike conflict, and because they tend to place other people's needs over their own. The ISFJ needs to learn to identify, value, and express their own needs, if they wish to avoid becoming over-worked and taken for granted. ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed. When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that "everything is all wrong", or "I can't do anything right". The ISFJ is warm, generous, and dependable. They have many special gifts to offer, in their sensitivity to others, and their strong ability to keep things running smoothly. They need to remember to not be overly critical of themselves, and to give themselves some of the warmth and love which they freely dispense to others. Relationships ISFJs place a great deal of importance on their personal relationships. They're generally very giving and loving people, who place the needs of others above their own. They sometimes have a problem with becoming overly emotionally needy, and with keeping their true feelings hidden from others. They take their commitments very seriously, and seek lifelong relationships. ISFJs are extremely dependable, and put forth a lot of energy into keeping things running smoothly. They sometimes have difficulty saying "no" when asked to do something, and therefore may be taken for granted. ISFJ Strengths ● Warm, friendly and affirming by nature ● Service-oriented, wanting to please others ● Good listeners ● Will put forth lots of effort to fulfill their duties and obligations ● Excellent organizational capabilities ● Good at taking care of practical matters and daily needs ● Usually good (albeit conservative) at handling money ● Take their commitments seriously, and seek lifelong relationships ISFJ Weaknesses ● Don't pay enough attention to their own needs ● May have difficulty branching out into new territory ● Extreme dislike of conflict and criticism ● Unlikely to express their needs, which may cause pent-up frustrations to build inside ● Have difficulty leaving a bad relationship ● Have difficulty moving on after the end of a relationship ISFJs as Lovers ISFJs are committed to their relationships. They have very intense feelings, which is not immediately apparent to others because they tend to hold things inside themselves without expressing them, unless they have a strong reason to do so. Their intensity of feeling makes their intimate relationship their first priority in life, with the possible exception of God. They seek monogamous, lifelong commitments, and can be depended upon to be faithful and loyal to their mates once they have made a commitment. ISFJs have a difficult time leaving a relationship which is bad, or accepting that a relationship is over. They tend to put all of the blame on their own shoulders, and wonder what they should have done to make things work out. If they have been loyal to their vows and have done their duties, they will be at a complete loss as to what went wrong, and will have great difficulty accepting the end. They are "true blue" lovers, and may even remain faithful to their deceased partners. ISFJs tend to be very selfless, and to put the needs of others well before their own needs. This may backfire on them, if they get into a situation in which they are taken advantage of, and do not have a good outlet for their strong emotions. In this kind of situation, the ISFJ might bottle up their feelings inside them, and form strong resentments against others. The ISFJ should work on recognizing their own needs, and place some importance on meeting them, rather than always putting the needs of others first. After all, if you can't take care of yourself, how can take care of someone else? Sexually, the ISFJ sees intimacy as a tangible way of strengthening their relationship bonds. They also see as something of a duty, and are likely to be more interested in serving their partner than in their own personal satisfaction. Although the ISFJ is not likely to be very wordy about expressing their love and affection, they're likely to do so through their deeds, and will deeply value their partner's responding affirmations. The ISFJ is very warm and selfless. They'll put forth tremendous amounts of energy and time into doing what they feel is their duty. What makes them feel best about themselves is when others show them their appreciation of the ISFJ. Consequently, the best gift that the partner of an ISFJ can give them is the expression of their love and appreciation. ISFJs have difficulty with conflict situations, and would much prefer to just sweep things under the rug. Sometimes facing a conflict situation helps to resolve it, and the ISFJ should realize that the world will not end if they face the conflict, and express how they feel about it. A conflict situation is not necessarily a "problem" which needs to be gotten rid of, and it is also not necessarily the ISFJ's fault. It's a common problem for ISFJ's to not express their feelings until pushed to some limit, after which they explode in anger and say things which they later feel they shouldn't have said. These kinds of outbursts can be reduced by expressing their feelings on a more regular basis, rather than keeping them pent up inside. In general, the ISFJ is usually a traditional, family-minded individual who places the comfort of their mates and families as their first priority in life. They're great for providing for everyday basic needs, and have a depth of caring which is very unusual, and not found in most types. They highly invested in the health of their relationships, and will work very hard to make things run smoothly. They are dependable and affectionate lovers. Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, the ISFJ's natural partner is the ESTP, or the ESFP. ISFJ's dominant function of Introverted Sensing is best matched with a partner whose dominant function is Extraverted Sensing. ISFJs as Parents Parenthood is seen as natural state and duty to the ISFJ. They are responsible about ensuring that their children have their practical needs met, and try to teach them the rules and observations of our society so that they grow into responsible and independent adults. ISFJs may have difficulty administering punishment or discipline to their children, although most are able to overcome this discomfort because they feel it is their greater duty to instill their children with sound values. As individuals who value order and structure, they're likely to create well-defined boundaries and roles for their children to live within. ISFJ parents have a very difficult time if their children grow into "problem" adults. They tend to believe that it is their responsibility, and that they didn't work hard enough to raise their children well. This may or may not be the case, but usually it isn't. ISFJs usually put forth a lot of energy and effort and don't give themselves credit for doing so. In many ways, an ISFJ makes an ideal parent. Their children will not lack for structure, appropriate guidelines, or warmth and affection. Their children will remember and value the ISFJ parent for their warm natures and genuine efforts on their children's behalf. ISFJs as Friends Although the ISFJ is likely to place God and family above their friends in their priorities, they genuinely enjoy spending time with friends and colleagues. In fact, ISFJs usually feel a strong need to talk problems and issues over with people before making decisions on their actions. Some ISFJs like to discuss things over with their friends, rather than their families. ISFJs enjoy spending time with most other types of people. The love to observe people's reactions and emotions in situations, and so enjoy being around diverse types of people. The ISFJ usually remains reserved around others, and does not open up very much. However, since they have a need to talk things over with others in order to make decisions, they do really need some close confidantes in their life. Their preference for these companions is other Sensing Feeling Judgers. They really enjoy and respect the company of Intuitive Feelers as well, but are not able to relate to them quite as well. Friends of the ISFJ will value them for their warmth, dependability, depth of emotional awareness and understanding. Content above copyright of BSM Consulting, www.personalitypage.com Thursday, April 02, 2009 Read a book and this is so right. Do you know what potential leaders look like? I have yet to find an organization that had all the good leaders it needed. For that reason, good leaders are always on the lookout for potential leaders. If you have done your own research on leadership characteristics, use what you’ve found to create a description of what you’re looking for in potential leaders. If you haven’t, you may want to use one of my lists. This one is taken from my book The 360” Leader. I’ve found that good leaders and potential leaders display the following characteristics: • Adaptability—Quickly adjust to change • Discernment—Understands the real issues • Perspective—Sees beyond their own vantage point • Communication——Links to all levels of the organization • Security—Does not find identity in position • Servanthood—Does whatever it takes • Resourcefulness Find creative ways to make things happen • Maturity—Puts the Team Before Self • Endurance —Remains a consistent in character and competence over the long haul • Countability—Can be counted on when it counts If you see people who display most of these characteristics, you are probably looking at people with great leadership potential. Proverbs 20:19 (NLT) A gossip goes around telling secrets, so don’t hang around with chatterers. Proverbs 20:19 (MSG) Gossips can't keep secrets, so never confide in blabbermouths. Proverbs 20:19 (NIV) A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much. Proverbs 11 1 The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales, but he delights in accurate weights. 2 Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. 3 Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people. 4 Riches won’t help on the day of judgment, but right living can save you from death. 5 The godly are directed by honesty; the wicked fall beneath their load of sin. 6 The godliness of good people rescues them; the ambition of treacherous people traps them. 7 When the wicked die, their hopes die with them, for they rely on their own feeble strength. 8 The godly are rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead. 9 With their words, the godless destroy their friends, but knowledge will rescue the righteous. 10 The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed; they shout for joy when the wicked die. 11 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart. 12 It is foolish to belittle one’s neighbor; a sensible person keeps quiet. 13 A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence. 14 Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers. 15 There’s danger in putting up security for a stranger’s debt; it’s safer not to guarantee another person’s debt. 16 A gracious woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth. 17 Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you. 18 Evil people get rich for the moment, but the reward of the godly will last. 19 Godly people find life; evil people find death. 20 The Lord detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity. 21 Evil people will surely be punished, but the children of the godly will go free. 22 A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout. 23 The godly can look forward to a reward, while the wicked can expect only judgment. 24 Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. 25 The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. 26 People curse those who hoard their grain, but they bless the one who sells in time of need. 27 If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you! 28 Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring. 29 Those who bring trouble on their families inherit the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise. 30 The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.[a] 31 If the righteous are rewarded here on earth, what will happen to wicked sinners?[b] Monday, March 23, 2009 "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." - C. S. Lewis "I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all, but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess." - Martin Luther Saturday, March 14, 2009 YES YES YES!! Meet up with 2 people yesterday at Suntec and we went to gelarie ice cream place. The place is not many people as most people must are crazy with the IT Fair. We set at gelarie for about 2 hours and we just chat about life n ministries. Personally I love this type of time with the people. Thru out the chat, one of them said that I am strong enough to last till now and I said is because I think about people and people matter to me a lot. The other things is that the person mention that xiuzhen you are being ill treat and yet u can survive till now and I said yes I can and the person said I admire you and the person mention that if I am you, I had left church long ago. Haha. Just to let you know that these 2 people are the one I seldom meet up daily but somehow both of them are important to me. They are people who understand me and not only that we understand one another too. I just want to meet up with these 3 people to spend a one to one time together.

U wan to know it is you, den sms me or call me and ask. -sh..... -st..... -fi... meet up meet up Thursday, March 12, 2009 Wednesday, March 11, 2009 Choices. It’s inevitable, isn’t it? Life is all about making choices. You can’t have the best of both worlds. Choose one, and you’ll have to be mentally prepared to lose the other. It wasn’t easy for me to come to a decision. This matter had been troubling me for days and weeks. And up till this afternoon, I was still bent on choosing the first. Guilty as I felt, I couldn’t imagine otherwise. But the conversation I had with a friend last night & what she had said to me kept ringing in my ears. I’d come this far; I couldn’t go back there again. So I made my final decision. I’ll need oodles of self-control not to fall back into that trap. I’d probably end up losing something I really treasured, FOREVER, & feel upset about it, but ultimately I know God is still with me…- Below is a random songs and words that is very meaningful. haha I’ve been waiting for my dreams To turn into something I could believe in And looking for that magic rainbow On the horizon I couldn’t see it until I let go Gave into love And watched all the bitterness burn Now I’m coming alive Body and soul And feelin’ my world start to turn And I’ll taste every moment And live it out loud I know this is the time, This is the time To be more than a name Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time This is the time of my life Time of my life Holding onto things that vanished Into the air Left me in pieces But now I’m rising from the ashes Finding my wings And all that I needed was there all along Within my reach As close as the beat of my heart And I’ll taste every moment And live it out loud I know this is the time, This is the time to be More than a name Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time This is the time of my life The time of my life And I’m out on the edge of forever Ready to run Keeping my feet on the ground Arms open wide, Face to the sun And I’ll taste every moment And live it out loud I know this is the time, This is the time to be More than a name Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time, This is the time of my life, my life More than a name Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time, This is the time of my life, (Na na na na na, na na na na na) This is the time of my life, (Na na na na na) The time of my life, Time of my life. this is the time of your life. :) - David Cook/ The Time Of My Life “Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.”- Deuteronomy 7:9 Job 17:11 (New International Version) 11 My days have passed, my plans are shattered, and so are the desires of my heart. Monday, March 09, 2009 When I Think About the Lord Lyrics: When I Think about the Lord, How He saved me, how He raised me, how He filled me, with the Holy Ghost. How He healed me, to the uttermost. When I Think about the Lord, how He picked me up and turned me around, how He placed my feet on solid ground Chrous* It makes me wanna shout, Halleilujiah, Thank you JESUS, LORD, your worthy, of all the glory, and all the honor, and all the praise... I am not dead or i am not running away. This is my very first time i am sharing it out in this blog and people who read, dont start judging or doubt me. If you want know more, ask me personally. The whole month of February, i went thru alot of Ups & Downs and it was during the last 2 weeks of February, i went thru the worst and i just dunno how to describe over here. During one of the days, i rec'd sms and i was ask to meet up. During the few meet up, question was raise up and i have to answer to each question and guess this sound like i get caught and the police is questioning me. haha. As she ask me and i told her, i feel nothing at first because is just another session and session but as she continuing asking more question which is very deep, i feel hurt, i feel sad and memories just flash back. I know i have to tell therefore i took the courage and reply her the answer with tears just flowing down my eyes with those meet up she plan. During this few meet up sessions ends,i did not take train home but i took cab because i want to go home fast and do up my projects and prepare my presentation but i know i will find it hard to concentrates. In the end i manage to concentrate because i told god tat i am going to leave it aside first so i could concentrate to do my projects and prepare my presentation which is more important as i want to be a salt and light and i want to do it well. Want to also said that if u r leaders, you should not leave your sheep aside n not shepherd them n dun wait till they backslide den you regret because this will be too late. We should not treat our sheep as a small kid but treat them as a young adult. Want to also said that if u r a member, you should not take your leader for granted. As your leader are also human. Dont wait till your leader or shepherd backslide or what, den you regret because this will be too late as you cant turn back the clock. i would like to keep updating this blog but cant due to many factors. Currently right now, i am unsure where should i start but i will said I HAD ENOUGH OF EVERY THINGS IN This place. Suddenly thought of this songs Well you done done me and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my best test Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours Well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find love love love Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me A lá peaceful melody It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved So I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait I'm sure There's no need to complicate Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer My breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and laughed I guess what I'ma saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons It's what we aim to do Our name is our virtue I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait I'm sure There's no need to complicate Our time is short this is our fate, I'm yours Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody) It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm sure There's no need to complicate Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours No please, don't complicate Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours No please, don't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait The sky is your's!

Sunday, November 23, 2008 keeping a balanced view... From the shepherd's perspective, It is already tiring as we try to move our people to another level of maturity but it is even more tiring to keep reminding our people that God is sovereign so please dun do anything on ur own accord, will u sheep! the qns: Can't you crave growth as much as u fancy sin? From the sheep's perspective, Why does my shepherd not understand that I am already trying and it is stressful enough with all the other aspects of my life are not doing as well as it should.. Why does she harp on growth when she fails to recognise i am in need of tender care and in huge deficit of love? How can you then say I am wrong to pursue what i need? All she thinks is the doing, can't she not be so task, can she just spend time with me doing what i like and not harp on how i need to grow? the qns: I am tired, just let me be will u? the many reasons our sheep hate growth. In the pursuit of spiritual growth, i have to admit that as a shepherd we tend to forget to nurture our sheep as we encourage them to grow. We often get frustrated with "why did u do it again?" and we are also too caught up with the benchmarks we set to grow and neglected the process of it. We thus need to shower care and concern just like how mothers play dual roles in this. Similarly for ourselves, when we take a step to turn away from our own self, it takes not just courage but determination and the constant encouragement to stay away from it, to walk in goodwill. We therefore need to be this cheerleader; know where they are coming from and give them countless number of chances like how Jesus did, celebrate with them for the little decisions they make; they knit the fabric of their lives and definitely to protect them by preventing them from falling and getting hurt. ALSO, prepare urself to have to go thru the trouble of picking them up even after warning them the harm they will face when they choose otherwise. IT IS TERRIBLY HARD TO DO SO but we need to embrace them. we have to be the ones that help them get back on their feet as they nurse their wounds. Wait patiently, they will be that innocent lamb that needs u to guide them back to the right way. Wait, watch and pray! Open ur doors to always welcome them. However, as a sheep, we also need to recognize that our shepherd loves us and like what Matthew 7:9-12 says, they will not harm us and will give us good gifts as they represent God, our heavenly dad. as motherish as it sounds, "it is for ur own good." It may seem totally unappealing and the pressure from the outside always tell us the good and fun they want us to have, but know the consequences of doing what u like and not what is right. This has been the constant nag and 'stress' (as a sheep deem given by the shepherd) your shepherds are talking about. Like it or not, this is factual. Before u acty start thinking that your shepherd only focuses on the task more than your feelings, think in their shoes, understand why they do what they do. Have you not recognize how much they have sacrifise for u. okaes...sacrifise too much of an extreme. Perhaps how much they went out for u, just simply to hear u speak in the night when they have truckloads of other things they can do, "why do they have to listen to u especially after not heeding their advice?" honestly, they are not exactly the freest people on earth nor are they aunt agony(s). I tell you why, they CHOOSE to listen to you because they LOVE you and want the BEST for u. so if you are the above, pls do the following: #1 Talk to God about it first and confess if you have been secretly plotting some rebellion #2 Call the involved party(s) and apologise for the way u think and the behaviour u gave #3 Account to your leader's leader and seek help in reconciliation the world will be a better place to live in.. Wednesday, November 19, 2008 This was taken at abigail (yu yu) house during CG. Saturday, November 01, 2008 It was once mentioned that reading books on vision or thinking about vision is quite a dangerous act to do at night. it can give you sleepless nights and keep your eyes wide open, and your heart bubbling with excitement. just only from the introduction is a short abstract that i would like to share with the readers of this blog: vision will prioritize your values. a clear vision has the power to bring what's important to the surface of your schedule and lifestyle. a clear vision makes it easy to weed out of your life those things that stand in the way of achieving what matters most. without vision, good things will hinder you from achieving the best things. without vision, there is no relational, financial or moral compass. consequently, they often make foolish decisions. the above para kinda "jumped" out at me when my eyes went through them. rightaway i was reminded of the current sermon series going on- priority living. vision and priority go hand in hand. His agenda must be my first priority. i am bought at a price, the price that no one else can ever paid. Ephesians 2:10 (New International Version) 10'For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (The Message) 10'Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing. Just feel like encouraging everyone especially to my lovely cg girls: DI A1 is not only a CG that exist just like that.. But we are ONE BIG FAMILY.. It actually does not matter who we serve with, who our leaders are, The IMPORTANT KEY things here is we must SHARE ONE COMMON GOAL (Great Commission, campus ministry) And ONE COMMON HEARTBEAT FOR CHRIST! AMEN. 1 Chronicles 4:10 (The Msg) 9-10 Jabez was a better man than his brothers, a man of honor. His mother had named him Jabez (Oh, the pain!), saying, "A painful birth! I bore him in great pain!" Jabez prayed to the God of Israel: "Bless me, O bless me! Give me land, large tracts of land. And provide your personal protection—don't let evil hurt me." God gave him what he asked. |
