Thank You

How many times have I hurt others but get back something undeserved? It's so unfair to them. I promise i'll watch out for others even more man. Others above self! Yup thank you for giving me a glimpse of God's grace and love. I can only imagine how He's like.

Thank you:) So much.

Yea SQ asked a great qns. If there weren't any promises from God in the first place, will you still love Him? In my better times, I can easily say YES. Man when i'm crying and hurting away and pissed off with Him, dude it's hard man. But again, that's where grace comes in. Even our ability to hold on to Him and love Him is drawn from His grace. And we know that nothing on this earth is able to seperate us from the love of Jesus. YEAAAAAAAAAAA BABYYYYY! With that, what other promise do we need???

Once again I thank You.

Faith or Foolishness?

God's promises won't let go of me. Huh. I know. But have you ever felt that His promises always seem to have a catch? Like they say it must always be read in context and all etc. In the end, what else is there to hold on to? After all the filters, who's entitled to those promises?

Yes I'm in dangerous territory now. I no longer DARE to be sensitive to His voice. I no longer DARE hold on to any of His promises, maybe for the fear of disappointment? Except for the assurance of salvation. Other than that, what else can we hold on to?

What if Abraham heard wrongly? What if he really sacrificed Issaac to death? Won't that be utter foolishness?

What if David heard wrongly? What if Goliath killed him instead? Won't that be utter foolishness?

What if Moses heard wrongly? Won't the Ark standing in the midst of mockers who are sun-taning away, be evidence of how foolish Moses was?

Faith or Foolishness? What if they had heard wrongly?

Is anything too hard for the Lord?

Lord please work it out? I think i'm trying my best, but fail always? I've got no strength anymore. How it sucks to just hurt from something you ain't supposed to be hurt about, and you can't really tell anyone? I think i've given what i can give, and tried to please You in all i did. If it's still wrong, I guess I give up?

Yea i miss everything. But if God's against me, what can I do? Yet i know it's not true; help me believe it. But how i wish so bad, I could just erase everything?

I know You've worked it out. Is anything too hard for You? I need You.

You are Good...always

Talk about being a man. I cried on the way home. HAR.

Love this analogy from Lucado. He walks in to the museum with his wife and kids, and when everyone walks past the Mona Lisa, they'll be in awe. That is da-pit-stop, where tourists from all around the world all stand still and marvel at the majesty and beauty of it. From everyone, you'll hear the WAAAH's and the WHOOOOO's. Everyone, except Max himself. He's the only one ain't enjoying it. Why? Because he's carrying all the luggage of his wife and kids. When you have tons of baggage on your shoulders, it's already a wonder if you can stand in front of the picture and say," You are beautiful."

We carry the baggages of life everywhere with us, so much so that it takes the wonder of life itself away. Why isit that some people can just....ENJOY life?!? A lot of them are slackers, and one thing they do best is leaving their baggage behind. Not to encourage the habit of slacking, but there's really something to learn from them.

There's stubborn luggage though. Some hook themselves onto us. Just when you thought it was over, you realise that there's a dead knot from your shirt to the handle. The wheels stuck to your shoes.

THE PAIN ENGRAVED IN YOUR HEART.

THE HURTS DRILLED IN YOUR MIND.

THE HAUNTING MEMORIES THAT PUT GHOSTS TO SHAME.

Lord You never hurt us; You only comfort us.
Lord You never betray us; You only remain faithful.
Lord You never bring sorrow; for joy flows from You abundantly.

Lord You are good.

Stronger

My lesson here may struck some of you as it has struck me. Thx Deblam.

My Dad's always overseas, and for years, the home has often without a mature male for me to look up to. Yea, he comes back once in a while, but more often than not, I'm supposed to be the 'man of the house'. HA. But when's there's somebody else called your 'MOTHER' ruling the household, instead of having a male role model to look up to, I'm now looking up to a female role model. Which means, i'm more exposed to how women react to problems and everything, than how men do.

That explains why i totally CRUMBLE so easily. I can't take pressure and stress; I get worked up and pissed easily; I usually order drinks meant for females without knowing it and choose the shoes that I wanna buy onlyto hear, " Sorry sir. That's for ladies."

Harhar. Are u scared?!?! Don't need to...I'm FULLY GUY, FULLY MALE, TOTALLY STRAIGHT. So what makes me a guy? God. God made me a guy.

Which means its time to start acting like one. I'm not saying Zabo's cannot make it. But right now, I'm behave totally like one. When Kel was describing his gf, totally sounded like me. And it's time to be STRONGER. Calmly solving problems, not flaring up easily, watching my language etc. Women got their way to handle stuff; and guys have theirs. It's time to be a MAN OF GOD. Hahahaha.

Anyone has parents overseas?!?! Yooohooo. Haha. God's alr solved our problem: church. Thank God for role models in church!

This gives me greater respect for dad. How he's so strong. Muscles don't really matter huh. Haha.

Yup. So look for a mentor. Of the same gender. It works:):)

Our God Saves

Got back results today! Indeed, He's a miracle maker. I thought I may fail marketing research. I got AD. That's like the highest grade of all; only got few in my whole poly life. I got AD for Marketing Research. I know I definitely didn't deserve it. Ok I skipped church camp for it. But yea...didn't do much! May this be the first miracle I'll remember the Lord doing in my life. Not kidding. All praise and honour and glory is His:):)

Anw, I haven't blogged for so long, because I don't really have any analogies to encourage you anymore. I'll think of more, so you can visit here maybe twice a year? Haha k lah not so bad.

Yea. So what. I don't really care anymore.

I AM FREE TO LIVE FOR YOU.

John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Where are You driving

If driving brings the possibility of accidents, does it mean you should never drive?

Even after a crash, should we stop driving forever? Maybe it's your fault, maybe it's not. But it's a crash.

If God's fuelling it, sure. Just not another one please.

I am FREE to run. FREE to dance. FREE to rejoice. FREE to live for YOU. Help me.
