Christmas Wish

"wat is ur christmas wish?"
have u ever tot of tis question or always answer urself?

few days before christmas, i went shopping, to get some gifts and look for new cloth, at the same time enjoy the "atmosphere". there was a performance in the shopping center, one of it was "santa clause performance", before he come out, everyone has to shout and welcome him, the audience were sporting, some r parent carrying their kids, the situation was so warm..
when i was driving to office last week, i heard from a radio segment, they talk bout santa clause, many ppl believe the existence of santa clause, hoping to receive gift during christmas especially kids. for not disappointing the ppl especially kids, there's a real santa clause in Finland (if not mistaken from radio), for ppl from all around the world to send card or wish(es) to santa clause, base on the record, roughly less than a million cards/letters received a year. some are greeting to santa clause, some r wishes, some even wrote a long letter, may b just to share their problem and because of tat the organization r only able to reply 10% of the cards/letters (not bad, good job!) wat a santa clause tat ppl r looking up to.

but wat is the true meaning of christmas? a show time of santa clause? (if i'm a film maker, or one day i can produce my own movie, i will create a movie talk bout santa clause. he wil appear during christmas, and kill the ppl quietly, violantly and horribly~~ no one will suspect santa clause cuz he is just so loving, he just come to give.. haha..) christmas is all about birth of Christ Jesus, to bring hope, peace, joy, love, etc. if Christ Jesus nvr come to the earth, there wouldn b a christmas, (may b it wil b santa claumas).
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:17
God loves us, He knows our needs. All he wans from us is just come to Him, no matter who v r. we can commit any problem and burden to Him, share wit Him, tat's wat he delight, he wouldn just listen 10% of our prayer, He is limitless, he wil lift up our problem/burden and walk wit us. we dun have to make our wish during christmas or birthday, we can make our wish everyday.
i thank God tat He chose me, i always enjoy the goodness from Him, when i have problem, He wil nvr leave me but He wil wait for me and always say "i'm here, my child.."
if u r tired, hopeless, wondering wat is all bout life, wat is the purpose of doing wat i'm doing now. i'll tell u, Jesus is the answer.

i would like to pray wit u if u wanna accept Jesus as ur personal saviour. =)

Holy or Glory

Uncommon Beauty

The Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. —Psalm 149:4

For some folks, the word holiness conjures up images of stuffy prudes—people who are “good” in the worst sense of the word, with sullen and morose faces. They are full of self-righteousness and rigid duty, “on hold for the next life,” as a Washington Post writer put it.

Most people long for truth and goodness. Yet that desire can be frustrated by what they see in some Christians, whom they perceive as self-righteous and judgmental. To unbelievers, such “virtue” is far less interesting than vice, with the result that they cling to their vices even though they may hate them. Joy Davidman, the wife of C. S. Lewis, said, “One sanctimonious hypocrite makes a hundred unbelievers.”

Would that the world saw the real thing—that extraordinary quality of life of which Peter speaks—a life so winsome and attractive it will draw others to the Savior (1 Peter 2:12). “If only 10% of the world’s population had [holiness],” C. S. Lewis mused, “would not the whole world be converted and happy before year’s end?”

We can have it! As we yield our lives to God’s Spirit within, we can live lives of uncommon beauty before a watching world. Israel’s poet assures us, “The Lord . . . will beautify the humble” (Ps. 149:4). —David H. Roper

Beautiful faces are those that seem

With the very love of God to beam;

Beautiful forms are those that grace

With gentle service the lowliest place. —Anon.

Live so that others will want to know Jesus.

i truly agree tis! i've been thinking bout tis long ago..

what's so proud to be a strong/holy christian if he/she does not have love, then wat's the definition of Holy? and why is he/she trying to be holy/strong?

i think people who r really in need (christian or non-christian) dun bother how much light shine upon u (thou i dunno where's the light from), how many bible scriptures applied in ur conversation, how well u serve in church, even which church u attend, so on and forth, but they r observing how u've experienced God and how much u care for them. y shld we set our self so "high" and ignoring ppl around us?

pursuing a holy and righteous life is essential, loving ppl around us is initial

Beautiful Saviour

i love tis song very much, when i first heard it was last year HUGE camp, i was full of burden, lost and heavy due to a lot of things, if can, i dun wish tat i'm in the HUGE.. one of the session worship wit tis song, i look at the lyrics, wat a simple lyrics, but it means so much to me and i think even God, at tat very moment, i been touched wit tis song, everything has thrown away, nothing is between me and God, i was dwelling in His presence, i was emptied and filling wit his presence... i know is not about my problem, my burden but is all about God tat cares so much for me..
He is just so wonderful and beautiful to me, all i will say is "forever i love you", it's such a simple word but how many time we have not trust Him and commit everything to Him..
i listened to tis song when i drive back home from work at mid nite (bz and stressful season -_- ) i've been touched again..
so now here's the song..=)


Jesus, Beautiful Saviour,
God of all Majesty,
Risen king,
Lamb of God,
Holy and righteous,
Blessed redeemer,
Bright morning star

All the heavens shout your praise,
All creation bow to worship You

How wonderful, how beautiful,
Name above every name, exalted high
How wonderful, how beautiful,
Jesus your name, name above every name, Jesus

I will sing forever, Jesus I love you, Jesus I love you

Secret

i love tis movie, nice and awesome story! nvr expect such good movie produced by Jay Chow, i really didn put much expectation on his movie.. but after watch it, mm.. it grabs my heart, tot it's just simple love story, how it start, how it flows and end as how a love story supposed to end.. indeed, it is a simple story but there's an impact at where he explain the story (if u cant understand the story then is hard to find out where's the impact), he twisted the flow and the time but instead, it helps to understand even clearer..

and more thing, i didn know jay chow can play piano so well!! haha.. oops!

tis 3 days was fun, get to meet diff type of ppl, they r friendly; it was exciting, cuz will nvr know wat the judges gonna ask from us, there will ask for more informative entries when the ad tat shown them was not wat it shld be, then we have to go and find out the CDs/DVDs if there's more things to show them and have to b fast..haha.. it was relax (a bit), IF nothing happen, and the food was nice!! had hotel chinese restaurant food for 2 days, hotel lunch buffet for 1 day.. =D

What is P2?

P2 Cards are Memory cards in a PCMCIA format, roughly the same size as a credit card. P2 Cards house 4 high speed Secure Digital (yes, the same cards that digital still cameras use) laid out in a raid array. Currently in 2gb and 4gb sizes, an 8gb version will be released in the next few months. By being solid state and in a metal shell, the P2 cards are the most durable Video storage medium available. It's main competition, Sony’s XDCam Blue Laser, is a disc based format, which can't take even a fraction of the 1500g's of shock the P2 cards can, let alone scratches, dust, dirt, etc. By using SD cards, Panasonic has guaranteed an easy roadmap for future expansion, as normal high demand SD cards increase in size and decrease in price, so will the P2 cards. This relieves the sole burden (read cost) of Panasonic developing increased capacities in the future.

Directed by: Milos Forman

Genres: Drama
Released: September 19, 1984 (same age as me, haha..)
Writers: Peter Shaffer (play), Peter Shaffer (screenplay)
Awards: Won 8 Oscars. Another 32 wins & 13 nominations

Plot:
The satirical sensibilities of writer Peter Shaffer and director Milos Forman (One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) were ideally matched in this Oscar-winning movie adaptation of Shaffer's hit play about the rivalry between two composers in the court of Austrian Emperor Joseph II--official royal composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham), and the younger but superior prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce). The conceit is absolutely delicious: Salieri secretly loathes Mozart's crude and bratty personality, but is astounded by the beauty of his music. That's the heart of Salieri's torment--although he's in a unique position to recognize and cultivate both Mozart's talent and career, he's also consumed with envy and insecurity in the face of such genius. That such magnificent music should come from such a vulgar little creature strikes Salieri as one of God's cruelest jokes, and it drives him insane. Amadeus creates peculiar and delightful contrasts between the impeccably re-created details of its lavish period setting and the jarring (but humorously refreshing and unstuffy) modern tone of its dialogue and performances--all of which serve to remind us that these were people before they became enshrined in historical and artistic legend. Jeffrey Jones, best-known as Ferris Bueller's principal, is particularly wonderful as the bumbling emperor (with the voice of a modern midlevel businessman). The film's eight Oscars include statuettes for Best Director Forman, Best Actor Abraham (Hulce was also nominated), Best Screenplay, and Best Picture.

Snoopy vs God

i just read an article from RBC (my favourite web/reading material), the title at the side of the website captured me ---> "Snoopy". at the same time, my friend oso write something about snoopy in his blog recently, is tis cartoon so inspired? ok let see it..

FOR 50 YEARS, cartoonist Charles Schulz gave us pictures of ourselves wrapped in a smile. One of the last strips I clipped from our Sunday paper showed Snoopy the dog sitting on top of his doghouse with a typewriter, writing about his life. He titled his story . . .

The Dog Who Never Did Anything
Snoopy remembers it this way, "You stay home now," they said, "and be a good dog."
So he stayed home and was a good dog.
Then he decided to be even a better dog. So he barked at everyone who went by. And he even chased the neighbor's cats.
"What's happened to you?" they said. "You used to be such a good dog."
So he stopped barking and chasing cats, and everyone said, "You're a good dog."
The moral, as Snoopy typed it, is "Don't do anything and you'll be a good dog."
As I turned the smile around in my mind, I noticed a quirk of the English language. Snoopy and God have something in common. They are related not only by alphabet (dog and god), but by what "creatures in the middle" expect of them. The idea intrigued me enough to try another version.

The God Who Never Did Anything
"You give me what I want now," they said, "and be a good God."
So He gave them what they wanted and He was a good God.
Then He decided to be an even better God.
He started knocking over the furniture of other gods, and He used pain to help people in ways they could not understand.
"What's happened to You?" they said.
"You used to be such a good God."
So He stopped knocking over the furniture of other gods, and He stopped using pain in ways that were beyond people's ability to understand.
And everyone said, "You're a good God."
The moral, as angels might see it, "Stop acting like God and people will think You're good."

The God We Want
Many of us imagine God as we want Him to be. To our wishes we add expectation. We expect Him to encourage us when we are afraid, to comfort us when we're hurt, to forgive us when we fail, and to give us what we think we need when we think we need it.
Yet, along the way, we keep stumbling into the awareness that the King of Heaven is more apt to come to us in His own style, time, and mystery. He is seldom as we imagine Him to be. He is more like the God who reveals Himself in the pages of His own history.
There He comes to us in the unexpected surprises of joy, in the unwanted nights of our misery, and in the solitary sounds of our own loneliness. He comes to us in the unexpected joys of Adam, in the numbed grief of Eve, in the inconsolable tears of the childless Hannah, in the murderous anger of Moses, and in the madness of a powerful Nebuchadnezzar.
But me? Until He responds, I'd rather have it my way. In the moments of my dissatisfaction, I don't want to have to wait for what I want. I want it now. Now. I'll pray. I'll pay. I'll bargain. I'll crawl on my knees. But I want God to prove that He is good—right now.

The God Who Has Been Good

Even in our "maturity" we can be like 2- and 3-year-olds pulling at the pant leg of heaven. Our Father isn't surprised. He knows how to raise physical, emotional, and spiritual toddlers. He knows how to run with us in our youth, and how to walk with us at 74, 84, and 94.
And for those who go further, He is still there, hearing once again our whimpers in the night, and reaching down with the affection of an adoring mother who carefully lifts her children from their crib to herself.
No, He has not always been the kind of parent we wanted Him to be. Yes, He has been good on His terms rather than on ours. He has not answered our prayers in the way we asked. Seldom has He allowed anything to play out according to our own expectations or childish demands. Yet His determination to lead us in the paths of His own choosing is what has made Him so good.

The God Who Will Be Good

The promise of tomorrow comes with the wrinkled snapshots of yesterday. Even though our memories are not as sharp as we'd like them to be, and even though the happy times are mixed with regret, our albums contain memories of a God who keeps reminding us that He is better than our expectations. He is better than our demands. He is better than anything this life has to offer.
If He allowed a relationship to be lost, He stayed with us to remind us that we weren't made for one another as much as we were made for Him. As our bodies give way to time, they become painful reminders that we were not made for these bodies. We were made for the One who said from the top of a thundering, burning mountain—to a people huddled in the middle of a life-threatening wilderness—"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."
This is the God who, because He is good, refuses to "stay home and do nothing."

Father, thank You for a man named Charles Schulz who brought us elements of truth amid our smiles. Thank You for being God on Your terms rather than ours. May Your name be hallowed as we wait on You. May Your kingdom be reflected in our patience. May Your will be done in our disappointments. Please, give us this day our daily bread.

interesting.. inspiring..

My Visual DNA

Grace_K Personality:

Mood -> DREAMER
The kick of the city appeals to you like nothing else - it makes you feel alive. You can see beauty in the most inhospitable environments. You are street smart and quite self-assured. When it comes to art, you appreciate natural beauty. You take time to soak up the nature favouring the coastline and countryside to the city galleries. As for music, it's soundtrack to your world. An open road, your favourite tracks - clichs are there to be enjoyed! Your choice of treat reveals either real exhaustion, or may be a bit of laziness? Either way you're never happier than when you are rugged, and snuggled up, eye shut.

Fun -> CONQUEROR
Life is exhausting and you never seem to get enough rest - poor thing! Working hard or playing hard, you just have to get some more rest. For kicks nothing beats and adrenalin rush. You like to take risks and push limits. You're confident and brave - life is for the living. When it comes to holidays, you like to explore and immerse yourself in another culture. Always on the go, you take in a much as you can. You find it hard to switch off, as you like to learn all the time. What grosses you out? You favour the natural look and can't stand a pumped and plumped, plastic appearance.

Habits -> HIGH TIME ROLLER
You never have enough rest - either you're too busy, exhausted or perhaps just a little lazy? Either way your snooze is your best friend, and at times your worse enemy! Ah yes, the odd glass of wine - or two - nothing beats it. After a long day you like to curl up and unwind. Nothing beats relaxing the shoulders, loosening that tongue and letting the day go by. As for the home, you are traditional: you invest in quality and history. You like you home to be as stylish as you are.

Love -> HOME SOUL
You're a real home soul. You care deeply about family life and all that comes with it, the love between a parent and child is so special. When you think of freedom, you think of technology providing you with the links to communicate wherever you are. Opening more doors.

saw tis test in one of my fren's blog, it's interesting so had a try n post it here...mm.. quite true..

Sunday Dinner

not father's day, not mother's day not even anyone's bday, just another dinner on Sunday, my family dun eat at home on weekend, so we go out and eat. i realize tat we know how to enjoy life even more, tis week we went to Little Vietnam, Mid Valley (under my sis' request), it's not any special nor super high class restaurant, just bcuz the food is nice, instead of eating chinese food, we went somewhere else..

i really do enjoy spending time wit family, (cuz i dun need to spend money on meal..=p *whispering*), mainly is bcuz nowadays is very hard to see whole family gather together just to spend time for no reason, there're ppl study oversea or outstation, work in some other place, have their dinner on their own or wit frens/colleague.. i appreciate them for they r my family, closest human to me, i dunno when i'll leave them or they will leave me, for watever reason or no reason but i just appreciate them whom can't been replaced by others (thou sometime i rather stay alone at home, spend time wit myself)

now i understand y my fren said she feel like crying when she listen to good music, cuz i felt the same way....... when i watch Transformer!! oh~ the movie is great, usually i'll more focuz on the story when i watch movie, then only find out the visual efx/editing then sound but tis time, i cant just observe the story, the story is already good (thou i nvr really watch the cartoon), so i cant just bother the story anymore, i saw the cg is awesome, i'm so amazed! the way it transform is so real, it dun seems graphic to me, but it's a real robot..sorry to those pro animator or pro vfx editor, cuz i dunno how tis graphics can b done at all, so it's aweome to me.. n the sound design is good, done by who? for the story line, i feel a bit like christianity, "sacrifice oneself for others" haha..
i wanted to clap hand, shout out n watever, just to express out my feeling when i watch certain scene, but too bad there's no one do tat, i have to keep it..-_-#
i wonder is there anyone know where can i get the making of Transformer? i wanna see how they do it..

God Answers Prayer

i'm reading all my blogs, haha.. sounds like i have plenty of blogs.. anyway, i found out one post/entry is very interesting n inpiring, i wonder how come i didn post it here (as tis is my main/primary blog), ok, here it goes:

"16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops."
James 5:16-18

short devotion shared by my pastor during yesterday prayer meeting, is was really encouraging, all the while i was wondering how long i've not totally trust in God n rely on Him..
God answered every prayer of Elijah, when he ask for rain, there was rain, when he ask no rain, there wasn't rain. and why Elijah has such so-called power to "twiste" the hand of God? Elijah is just a normal human as you and i, God will answer our prayer if we confess our sin and being righteous. "16 ..... confess your sins to each other and pray for each other...... The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

ya, i truly agree, sins will hinder the prayer...

Another Miracle

i found my office key!! really thank God for tat, i cant lost the key as i've resigned from my current job, i cant just leave my company by losing my key.. i was praying tat God will review to me where's the key.. haha.. 1 tot came into my mind, "rmb i've used the laptop bag? i bring it to office..."
ohya! may b i kept it in the bag, n didn take out...haha..really, it's in the bag.. i can leave my company with peace...

I Got It

i got the job dy, really thank God! now i realize y God haven answer my prayer, my interview always failed, either it's not wat i wan, or shift work/work on weekend, or lack or experience. God really give me wat i wan n need, a job tat dun need to work on Sunday which is really hard to find in tis industry, my target salary, my dream job (some projects are movie, tis is my dream!) b4 i got tis job, i really wonder if i'm suit tis industry which always rush for project, no fix working hour, life tat no sun n moon, cuz my weekend is for God due to attending church, n i faced a lot of frustration wit my current status n my past. overall, i would say, the door seems to be closed, to human being, tis is very hard for christian work in tis industry. BUT God said, when His door is opened, no man can shut! to human, things tat impossible, to God, all things r possible. when we honor God, God wil honor us. rite here i wanna thank God for: when i wanna pursue my dream thou i dunno wat i like, wat is my passion, i just know tat i like movie/visual/performance kinda thingy, God brought me to SAE (School of Audio Engineering), n i met my god bro at the rite time (b4 tat i was studying business in other college). truely i enjoy my course. rite after i finish my course, i got a job, as studio engineer, i quite enjoy the work but not the company, collegue, n my producer, i made a lot of mistake, most of the things ran out of my expectation, i find very hard to work there, i was lost n depressed, am i working in wrong field? y all bad things seems like running after me? i was thinking to give up, look for other job, any type of job oso came into my mind, waitress, teacher, admin n etc. i just scared, i felt myself so useless, dunno where shld i go, will i forever lost? but deep in my heart, i was still curious on movie/video production, just tat i dun dare to face it due to many failure. anyhow, i learnt a lot in tis circular world,work n study is totally diff thing, the main thing is wil i still trust God. after i resign, my boss ask me if i'm interested in video editing, his fren's company is a video production company, if i haven get a job yet, i can go there n try. ofcuz i'm interested, but i still give myself a chance to work in audio field since i'm a sound student so i work in my fren's studio, doing sound for animation. but tis job stil cannot satisfy me, somemore need to get my own laptop to do the job so i quit n i go back for the video editing until now at the begining, i really frustrated, due to low salary n did a lot of unrelated work, but during tis period i really found out my dream n passion! i'm not a multimedia/filming student, but bcuz of passion, i could pick up the skill n done well. the more i work on it, the more i'm nterested in..tat's my dream.. God helped to see my dream. at the end, God bring me back to my dream, from studying sound till the next job, thou during the process, it seems ran out of track, but anything tat happen, has it's own purpose, u know wat, 1 of the reason i got the new job is bcuz i study in SAE which has a good reputation to tis company (new company), n i got experience in sound. so as long as we honor God, God will surely honor us.

Youth Alpha Introduction Night

today is our first Alpha week - Alpha Introduction Week. wat a wonderful nite we had! almost everything ran smoothly, except the F&B, tat part a bit messy, may b we didn know how's the food n drinks arrangement, but overall was great!

everyone trying out their best to do everything, smile the whole nite, very good hospitality n i saw the unity even b4 the alpha n during the alpha. can see God really bless n take care of our alpha, He provided everything we need, like: tables, we got it from my auntie, so we no need to buy; knife for chop stick which is very hard to get it from market n it's expensive, we got it from one of our young adult - Andrew, cuz he work in a bakery shop; platessss, got it from Joey's colleague who work in hotel n more, etc, etc...provided n helped by our church adult, most of all, is the diff talent from the youth n young adult, creativity, organize, commitment n so on..

most important is, we can serve in 1 heart, 1 body, 1 mind, 1 hand and 1 vision! do our best n God do the rest, we are just moving the hand of God!

Spiderman 3

yesterday celebrate andrew's bday in TGIF (again), wat a great wan, haha.. stand on the table, giving speech, sing song n bla bla bla.. haha... he deserve it..

anyway, after the dinner we went n watch Spiderman 3 (earliest show at tat time), the story is so so only, a bit draggy, Spiderman 1&2 nice la..but the sound is so amazed, so detail, sound from the zoom in sand then zoom out, glass, explosion n other tiny tiny things, i can feel the impact of the visual effects, it was awesome! even the visual effect oso not bad, but some part stil can see it's 3D, not tat real (am i rite?=p i haven watch the making). how i wish i can do such movie... so unrealistic movie.. haha...

so tis movie is very subjective to ppl, if u just wanna watch the story then may b u dun feel it's nice nor worth it, but overall, tat's not bad..

Mission Trip - Indonesia

back from mission trip yesterday, at indonesia, 5 days mission trip in Duri & Pekan Baru.. it was a challenging mission trip cuz only 7 of us including pastor, but need to lead children ministry which have 100++ children.. >_< anyway, by God's help, we could manage to handle it..

my church is supporting a church in Pekan Baru, so we did go tat church as well.. 1st and 2nd day went to Duri then only we go to Pekan Baru..

all the children there are very active, watever we ask them to do, they will just respond it sportingly, can see they are really expecting something from us, make us wanna serve them with all our heart. and they are so cute..

*click to my album and find out more about tis mission trip..

Alpha Course in Progress

my church youth and yound adult is going to run Alpha course, we just had our training last sat, oh~~ it was so fun and relax, totally diff from a cell group (anyway, it's not a cell group course).. n i cant wait to have the course in my church.. i believe there will be something great happen.. =)

2nd day of training which was a practical training, we have to take turn to do the sharing, and put in some related drama which is stated in the book (reference material / leader's guide).. haha.. everyone enjoy doing tat, and very open to do watever they need to do.. then at the end the people from this Alpha pray for each of us, i thank God tat He spoke to me and after the prayer, they said i did very well in sharing cuz i'm very dramatic, full of movement, is capturing, and Tim said he can see tat i can be a good speaker, then Winnie said i can b very good in youth community...wau! tis is really encouraging, cuz i feel tat i did really bad and was thinking to give up my ministry, n approach to pastor if there's any better people can serve in youth ministry then just let him/her to take over.. but seems like God stil wan me to involve in youth ministry, if not, God wil not take away all those capable people from tis ministry, n he shld have open up the door for me to go other ministry..

so, i just do watever God wan me to do.. God's will and plan is always the best..

* i'll try to post up every Alpha course event, most probably tis course wil start next month (May), see how God's going to move greatly in my church..=)

Surrender To God's Timing

last fri i didnt come to God and spend my time wit Him which i usually have to do. next day, sat, i didn pray b4 i go to youth meeting thou i was suppose to share bible study. next morning, sun, i didn pray b4 i play piano on the stage. tis whole weekend i was terrible.

i was complaing to God last fri due to my career. after work, i drove to a place near my house, i didn straightly go back home, cuz i wanna make sure my tears are dry up then only i back home. when i was driving, i cried, i complaint, i scolded:
"am i not faithful to God?"
"wat have i done? tat caused me in tis kind of situation?"
"obedience bring consequences also?"
i was thinking why ppl around me can get a good job, even those who didn put much efford as i did, but i'm working in such company. nvr deny, i put alots efford in study, i serve God, i put God as my first priority, but y??
as i pray for food as usual, i heard a voice:" y do u stil pray to Him?"
as i wanna prepare my bible study (topic is obedience), i find very heavy to prepare
when my sis ask me bout preparation for sat youth n young adult meeting, i felt heavy to do it, i dun like she ask me so many things, cant i do wat i wanna do now? wat do i get when i do so much of things for Him, is there anyone wil appreciate it?
when i serve on the stage during the sun service, i find no reason to serve n worship Him with the instrument.. i heard "y r u on the stage? y didn u prepare lyrics slide?" i felt heavy n guilty..

y was i so evil tis whole weekend? i knew God is not wat i tot, but i just felt His presence and love is so far from me... i hate Him, but i really dun dare to leave Him, i dun dare to deny Him bcuz i know if i leave Him, i'm nothing, i've nothing..
yesterday nite (sun nite), i came back to Him, i cried, i complaint, i prayed...

so tis morning, i opened up the email sent by Teh Eng Chuan, who always forward christian mail to me n ppl around me. title is "Trusting God's Timing"
and i surrendered.. surrendered to God's timing..
sorry God..

Legal Homosexual Marriage? Yes or No?

i listened to radio this morning, they talking bout the news regarding 2 lesbian committed suicide bcuz of their relationship was rejected by their parent, so today topic is "do you agree legal homosexual marriage?"
i wanted to call in and give my opinion, cuz i was very disappointed wit the answer given by the audience, expecially one of the audience, she is a christian, she said she strongly agree wit tis issue, n she wonder why cant have les/gay relationship.. i was like @_@ cuz she has a fren is lesbian, n the relationship is very good, better than normal couple, married some more.. -_- .... *speechless*
ofcuz i dun agree, a lot of ppl has tis kind of trends and getting more and more ppl agree doesn means tat is rite! tis is not only againts God's will, and oso againt the nature. disagreeing tis issue is not meaning we are outdated, for there're a lot of ppl accept it; and not bcuz we dun undestand their feeling, some ppl says why shld we stop tis feeling, tis is true love, it shldn restricted by anything. i kinda understand the feeling, wat i think is, same sex is seems like more understanding, they know wat we want, so eventually, we will have special feeling arise in us, we feel tat we r been cared, and if tat person has a little bit of opposite sex attitude, we will easily "fall in love", some more nowadays, homosexual is accepted, so who will bother beeing les/gay is normal or not.. ofcuz there're a lot more possibilies tat cause a person became les/gay, but one thing is, there's NO such thing which we are born to be homosexual, God wil NEVER made mistake, tat we r suppose to be a male (if we r female) so i shld love a gal..
instead of discussing whether we whould should have legal homosexual marriage, why not we discuss how we plan to have an official homoxesual couseling. thou there are a lot of countries approve homosexual marriage. this issue makes me tot of one issue brought by tis radio few days ago, the topic regarding abortion, there's a new invention, called abortion machine, due to a lot of abortion cases, they invented this, it has heater inside to provide warmness to the baby, and also sensor which can call the polis or those who can help (dunno wat they called), to minimize the abortion or "environment pollution", cuz those "mama" (mostly young mama) dunno how to handle their baby..-_-# wat the radio trying to say is, nowadays, our community is compromising, in chinese -> "mai lei pa", since cant help, n some more getting more and more such cases.. same to issue of homosexual, i wonder who is the first homosexual? if tis kinda trends is rite, then y should we discuss bout tis? rite things no need to be discussed
"Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." Matthew 5"37

* i'm not againts homosexual, i know they need love, they even need to know wat is truth..
** to whom tat he/shes think he/she is gay/lesbian: God loves you, he will never made mistake, He created you wit purpose, you are who you are right now, not some one else..
