Is This.

Life's been good. It always has. Achievement far beyond imagination, really? I have what I wanted =)

A thank you to God in heaven, for the blessings. For the family. For the people. For the gifts. For the protection.

It's never too little to ask. School is becoming better, I like it this way. But it won't remain, will it. It's all gonna be over in 8 months.

Run across my mind, will you? =)

So yeah, I'm fine, thank you. Don't worry about me, I'm the least of them worries. The least of these, more important than me. =) A verse, which inspires me always.

Proverbs 16:9 (New King James Version)

A man’s heart plans his way,
But the LORD directs his steps

Well. OK. Haha. This is after The Reveal. I went to Ipoh Garden East to have lunch. Well, yea. Then the uncle of the stall aite. He's a friendly guy la. So while I'm ordering, he asks me whether I got pray for his leg anot.

Note: He was involved in an accident, injured his leg badly. He wasn't at the stall for a few months, his wife took care of it.

I was very blank, and answered truthfully la. I didn't. Then he asked whether I'm a Christian. I obviously answered yes la. Then he said, tomorrow (which is a Sunday) pray for me OK? Then I said "of course, uncle" with a smile. Then he told me this. He's a Christian! And he just converted a few months ago! =D

Well, the special thing about this is. When I pray for my food, I make it a habit to pray for the person who made the food. And I visit that specific stall 2-4 times a week. So yea =D. It worked! Thank you God (= =D =P =D (= =)

Edit: The best thing about this is that he's a really nice guy. Hahahahahahahaha.

Jer 33:6 - Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

VCC Camp '09!

Hahaha. Yeah. Camp was great. Awesomefying too probably.

Well. I'll skip to sessions. Session 1 was about selection, that we were selected, or chosen by God to be in His kingdom right now. Ps. Bernard Hull, the speaker from the U.K., used a lot of "S" words this session. Hmmm, can't be bothered to dig up the verses right now. An important point, Ep 4:30.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

The message over the sessions revolved around Ephesians 4, so go scout around there. Haha. Let's see. Words highlighted by Mr. preacher. Spiritual selection of the Son, sealed by the Spirit. A few more I can't recall. Gah. Never mind. I'll go rummage through someone's notes

Session 2. Growing. Message was about how to grow. And some pointers for the Church. Hmmm. One description example or whatever you call it was, like a fig tree.

[Caution! Pretty long story]

During a certain dry season, a person's toilet water/whatever wasn't flowing out to the sewage(ugh, true story btw). So, the Pastor had a look at the situation, and noticed a fig tree in the neighbour's back yard. He immediately suspected that the fig tree, which has powerful water-sensing instincts, and pretty long roots too, might have detected a tiny leak in the person's drainage pipe, and sent it's roots far and wide to the source of water, all because it was desperate. True enough, that was the case, and the Pastor managed to uproot the fig tree and fix everything, not alone of course. With some help.

Therefore, we should be like the fig tree, searching far and wide for God. And yea, a note of my own. The fig tree hit a real jackpot, albeit during the dry season. Plentiful sewage, water's all the same to it, no? Breakthrough, wasn't it. Yea, breakthrough comes when we need breakthrough. Haha. Anyway, words highlighted during this session. Grow, Gifts, Grace, God, Good. And a few more! Memory fails me ahh.

Third session. Forgot lol. Never mind.

Point of Difference

Haha... Yeah, it's the week-end of all. Good Friday => Easter, Jesus died, upon that tree, upon Calvary, and rose again. But what for. For the sins of the world... a world so ravaged by sin, it needs the Light once again.

Here's a song. It's not really related to the Resurrection nor the Crucifixion, but it's about God. And I believe it speaks of what the world needs. And I believe it comes from what the world will never take from us, Jesus our God.

Hillsong United - Point of Difference

Words & Music by Joel Houston

VERSE 1:

The tide is turning

This is redemption’s hour

In the midst of a world lost for love

You are all we have now

The lost returning

Salvation is all around

In the midst of a world broken down

You are all we have now

You are God

And this hope is ours

So Father

CHORUS:

Open the skies

Flood the earth with Your light

This is love to break a world indifferent

As we lift up our eyes

Fill our hearts with Your fire

In a world the same

We’ll be the different

The difference

VERSE 2:

Our hearts are burning

A fire that won’t burn out

In the midst of a world that’s grown cold

You are all we have now

The earth resounding

The anthem of Your renown

As we lift up our eyes

And look to Your glory

PRE CHORUS:

Call us out

Let the world see You are God

And this hope is ours

Call us out

Let the world see You are God

As we sing

BRIDGE:

Our eyes are open

Every chain now broken

We’re in this world but we are different

Let Your love become us

As we live to make You famous

We’re in this world but we are different

Call us out let the world see You are God

And one and only in this world

You are all we have now

It's all You are, it's all I want

It's all for You, I'm letting go

You'll never let me go

In the hope of Your freedom

Inspirasi?

Hmmm.

In the dark
In the darkness you will find
Dirty little secrets we all hide
Cause we all have a darker side
A place we keep where no one else will find

[Some where later in the song]

We all try to hide our secrets awayyyy.

Yeah, beg my secrets out of me. Lol. No more dirty little secrets for me though. Just a bunch of normal kind of secrets. Though getting my confidant's name and address would be extremely difficult for everyone except (=. Yeah. 'Cause the confidants don't know that they're confidants. Ooo.

What's the big deal about secrets anyway. Well, some just can be used to break down a person to pieces. I've seen these things happen. Well, people. There are always secrets that, "if I told you, I'd have to kill (figure of speech) you". Make sure those ones don't leak out to the wrong people.

Dignity. In the name of Jesus Christ. Equivalent to perfection of Christ. Would you even think of such a goal? It's possible you know. And you need to be very close to God, to the point where His presence is always with you. To the point You'd skip anything readily for His sake. Don't try. Do. So all those uzur philosophers like to say. Anyway.

And now you face the face of everything that breaks you dow-wnnnn.

And what shall you do? 'Cause when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. What. True wert. Yeah, Lion King are smerter than you.

Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. - Ph 3:17

That was Paul in letter to the Philippians. Follow. Haha. I got that out of thin air by the way. Then I went to Bible Gateway it. Tadaaaa.

One song. Switchfoot. Learning to Breathe. Good song la.

Verse
Hello, good morning, how You do?
What makes Your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way that I'm

Chorus
Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies

Verse 2
Hello, good morning, how You been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought that
I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad

Refrain
So this is the way I say I need You
This is the way that I say I love You
This is the way that I say I'm Yours

Over. Out. God bless.

We Are Who We Were When

Haha. I don't know why, deep down inside, I wasn't satisfied with my life. But as I look around, the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side. Chrome's loading a few pages correct now. <3

And, yeah, seeing so many people in stress/sadness really makes me... feel for them. I sometimes feel I don't really deserve my life now. But all in all, that ain't for me to decide. Moonlight aglow, I shall take a bow. Good night.

Disarray

Lifehouse - Disarray

Verse 1
I've faced my demons
Wrestling these angels to the ground
And all that I could find
Was a thin line between
All the saints and villains
It was crossed in my own minds

Chorus
Someday I'm gonna find it
Wish I knew what I was looking for
Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)
I woke up this morning
Don’t know where I’m going
But it’s alright
I wouldn't have it any other way

Verse 2
Struggling between the facts and fiction
I’m alone
But I'm alive
Everyone around me is trying to make a statement, then there's me
I’m just trying to survive

Chorus
Someday I'm gonna find it
Wish I knew what I was looking for
Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)
I woke up this morning
Don’t know where I’m going
But it’s alright
I wouldn't have it any other way

Bridge/Interlude
If this was any other day
I pretend to know where I stand
I Just don’t know (just don’t know)
I Just don’t know

Chorus
Someday I'm gonna find it
Wish I knew what I was looking for
Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)
I woke up this morning
Don’t know where I’m going
But it’s alright
I wouldn't have it any other way
Someday I will find it
Wish I knew what I was looking for
Inside the disarray (inside the disarray)
I woke up this morning
Don’t know where I’m going
But it’s alright

Yeah... Been listening to songs again, at last. God really works, given solace at the right time of my life. 2009, bring it on! It's not gonna be mine to claim though. All to the One above!

Ecclesiastes?

Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the difficult days come,
And the years draw near when you say,

“ I have no pleasure in them”: - Ecclesiastes 12:1

Old wisdom. Do you know that this book exists? What it speaks about (meaninglessness of life)? It's written by Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, a man who experienced all the pleasures of life. ALL OF THEM. And he doesn't give a care about them any more, as is blatantly obvious through the book.

Time comes and goes, pleasures last a moment. Nothing sticks.

Apathy.

Because. It's me.

Abel is floating around aimlessly, looking for solid ground. And is also trying to comprehend talent.

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

To lose is worse than not to have at all.

Why can't I find it again?

A Spot of Thinking

John 14:21 - He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. (NKJV)

Feeling very uninspired recently, so can't write anything full length. Wanted to do more "professional" writings than earlier. BTW, I am Spider Rider. Deal with it.
