Story time...

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room.
She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?"
The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."
Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?"

The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.
"Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to
Sally.
The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the university for study. He said it
might help somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy ,had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could."

Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter.

The letter said:

"Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stu ff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, wh en I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper.

Seeking apologies and being thankful

I really want to thank God for everything in my life. Everything is perfectly planned by Him... Facing many trials right now but I want to say thank you to all those people who faithfully keep me in their daily prayer. I really am grateful. I really appreciate all your time and effort being spent... Thank you... I was touched when I got to know many kept me in their daily prayer...

At the same time, I wanted to seek for forgiveness from those whom I have hurt them. Regardless of actions, words, mentally, spiritually nor physically. Sorry as I didn't learn it well to hold my tongue. Sorry as I didn't learn well to hold my actions. Sorry for not using my piggy brain before I do stuff nor speak. If I ever hurt you in anyway, I would like to apologies, young and old, I will want to sincerely seek for your forgivenss. Especially to my family, a uncle from the library team, KM, and "banana".

I got many blessing today... A friend of mine fetch me to college today as I didn't have my driving licence. Ended up I make him on fire... Sorry.... Sorry to "harass" your laptop without your permission as well... *sayang your laptop* Sorry.. Well, a "brother" of mine purposely wake up early to fetch me back to my place and he ended up late for class. Sorry... The best part of the day.... I got an oreo and sandwich as a blessing from two brothers in Christ... He made the sandwich himself! Though he is cool but I am really thankful and happy! It is delicious by the way! I really thank God for my life and thank God for all this people that He allowed me to meet with...

I actually have a burden in my since morning, though I am smiling but deep down in my heart, I know I am aching.... Let His will be done, just as I said to my friend as he was formatting the PC. Everything happened for a reason and I trust in Him as He never fail me. His plan is to prosper us and never to harm us. Hence, I put my trust in Him. I really am touched... Guess what... I am actually having tears in eyes when I am writting all this! I am in college lab! Gosh!

Thank you God for everything that happened in my life... May Your name be glorify.... Amen...

Unattended blog...

Wao... For quite some time this blog is unattended. Thanks to something that I am playing with currently.. A hectic week I can say... I just finish my final exam for my diploma and one weeks has past! Time really flies... When is the last time you all stop your horses and take a rest? Well, after so many months of torturing life, I decided to make full use of my first week of my holiday... To do something that I long for so long so long... SHOPPING! I went out shopping for 2 days and I ended up with a very big pocket but with a very big hole as well... =.="

Due to that matter, starting from next week, I will be working like mad... Turning to a workaholic very very soon. From a dweeb changing to be a workaholic... Sad case... Well, this is the life of APIIT... What else can I ask for more? So many pending job on hand... I can hardly breathe... Suffocating... Scholarship, library, result, family, friends, self, and many more! Worrying too much... Head can't stop spinning... I can hardly sleep early...

Lately I am facing stomach ache and my hand is killing me as well... I think I didn't eat according to the meal time... Every part of my body is not functioning well I think... Hmm.. Praying for healing to take place... Let His will be done..

It is late... I need to rest now as I am working tomorrow morning... I will be updating something interesting on the next post.. I hope I can... =) Till then take care... May the spirit of the Lord be with each and everyone of you.

To those who are facing exam and assignments

I pray that Lord, You will take away their worries and problems, may Your peace from above rain down on them. I pray that Lord, You will help them to give the best out of themselve in their task. I pray that Lord, Your knowledge and wisdom will be upon them so that they can solve all those questions they have in hand. I pray that lord You will help them to manage their time well so that they can hand in their answer on time. May You Lord be with them. All this I pray in Jesus name. Amen.

Psalm

Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways. You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.

[Psalm 128:1-2]

To You

Hillsong

To You

Here I stand forever in

Your mighty hand

Living with Your promise

Written on my heart

I am Yours

Surrendered wholly to You

You set me in Your family

Calling me Your own

Now I

I belong to You

Lord I need

Your Spirit Your word Your truth

Hear my cry my deep desire

To Know You more

In Your name

I will lift my hands

To the King

This anthem of praise I bring

Heaven knows

I long to love You

With all I am

I belong to You

Dream ceiling

Got this from a E-mail... Was amaze by it...

I want this in my bedroom! I mean in my future house haha...

My dream... Sleeping under the SKY!!!

Thinking out of the box

Amazing people... I got this from a friend through E-mail... Enjoy the short yet meaningful story.. =)

You are driving along your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading............

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;

* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect hence to pay him back.

* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. ......................................................

His answer:

"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations... and begin to "Think Outside of the Box"!

Never shall I leave you; never will I forsake you.

HILLSONG UNITED
Fall

I love to worship You, my God
I love to worship You, my Lord
And see Your Spirit fall in power
Your love unfolding
Gifts from heaven

I love to worship You, my God
I love to worship You, my Lord
And feel Your precious
Breath of heaven
Your all consuming love

Holy Spirit come in power
Change my heart
I want to live for You, my God
Let Your Spirit come in power
Change my life
That I may live for You my Lord
Fall on us Lord

So I yearn for You
Long to see You move
Lord, I lift my hands before my King and pray

Suddenly, during cell group, I wanted to sing this song so much.. Specially the Bridge... "So I yearn for You, Long to see You move. Lord, I lift my hands before my King and pray" This song is basically singing out my feeling... I really long for His move in my life... In my heart, there is a small little voice asking me to turn the the book of Hebrew. He showed me a verse... Hebrew 13:5 - 6

"because God has said "Never shall I leave you; never will I forsake you."
so we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

Never felt the comfort for a very long time... The warmness of His embrace, His love... His everything... Once again I am being filled... Once again He told me that He is always besides me... I was basically "stoning" as I never expect that He will said "Never shall I leave you; never will I forsake you." in Hebrew! I didn't even realise that there's such verse there! Looking once again at my life... I can only have one sentence..

"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"

Peace be with you...

To a person that I hardly know,

I was shock by your action, very shock indeed... If you are reading my blog, I just want you to know that God is watching you. What ever you do, what ever you said, what ever you think, God knows... It doesn't matter whether you acknowledge the present or God or not. As God is there, not because you think He is there.. He is there even before the creation of the world whether or not you acknowledge His present.

All I can do is to pray for you and may God lead you back to His embrace. Internet is a modern technology that allowed us to communicate with each other. The existance of the internet manage to made the world "smaller"... However, human will always be human.... When they are given a chance to use the internet they tend to misuse it... I can assure you that what you did is wrong... Not only it is wrong in terms of the law but also in God's eye. If you think that the government can't do anything about you let me tell you that God CAN!

May the peace of the Lord be with you...

Heavenly Father, as I uphold this person into Your hand may You Lord forgive all his sin and wash away his sin. I pray that Lord you would soften his heart, open his ears and open his eyes. I pray that Lord, You will give him an opportunity to know You and to see You. I pray that Lord, You will reveal Yourself to him. Speak to him personally and guide him out of his sinful nature. I pray that Lord, You will use me mightily to help this person. Let Your will be done in our life O Lord. Uphold my prayer into Your hand, may You Lord listen to my prayer and answer them. All this I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

*peace*

NO LIFE AWAY FROM GOD

Two brothers go to a lake to play with a little boat that they had made. The younger boy excitedly places it in the water and watches it sail. The boat slowly begins to drift away, until it is out of his reach. With great fear, he cries out for his elder brother, to save the boat. The elder boy immediately picks up some stones and begins to throw it at the boat. The younger boy starts to yell at him saying, "what are you doing, I said save my boat, not destroy it!?" The elder boy responds, "Relax. I know what I am doing?" He begins to throw the stones, past the boat, causing ripples to form, and that draws the boat closer to the shore. Finally the boat is back in its owner's arms.

A lot of us are sometimes like that little boat. Sin causes us to drift away from God. Then we find so many things going wrong in our lives and wonder why. Sometimes God throws stones 'at us', not to harm us but to cause ripples in our lives that will draw us back to Him and not further away. The more we live our lives according to what WE think is right, the more we will be discouraged, because there is NO LIFE AWAY FROM GOD. God is our source of power, strength, peace and joy.

Whatever your problem may be, don't look at it as a punishment but a challenge to better your self. God has the power to turn things around in your life and He will do it. Problems are always there, but for a reason, that is to make us better and not bitter. How we choose to respond to our problem will determine the results that we get in the end. This is our God.


He can turn a MESS into a MESSAGE

A TEST into a TESTIMONY

A TRIAL into a TRIUMPH

A VICTIM into a VICTOR .

I have no idea why but when I got this from a friend through E-mail, I cried when I am reading it. Though it is a short story but the lesson and moral of the story is so meaningful... Everything He made it so perfectly.. When I needed strength the most, He filled me once again.. Thank you Lord...

Return to me...

Suddenly I ran out of topic for this blog... I somehow am interested in creating a new blog... Don't know what to write so maybe a new environment will inspire me to write? All I know is I really need to go back to the Lord... All I want is once again to be in His embrace.. I am stress up... I can't concentrate on Him... It sound so easy.. The only requirement for me is to seek Him first... Yet I am not putting Him first... My determination is somehow not strong... I am not keen on what I am doing... Looking back at my diary, I realise how much I have change in terms of actions as well as attitude. I can see how God have blesses me and how God have bring me through all those trials that He set for me in order to test my faith.

I really hate being in the comfort zone... Though that is the time where I really can stop for a rest but somehow I forget who I really am... I started to have the "it's OK" attitude and things goes ugly... I am so drag away by worldly things... Money, power, study, people and many more... Currently finding my way back to Him.. Making sure that I turn on my "head light" by reading more of His words. Discipline is the word I need to learn and implement in my life.. Praying for a breakthrough is my goal now... May I stand firm...

God's word to me...

I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.(Isaih 44:22)

Discipline..

What a day... Just finish all the assessment... Really tired.. Suddenly I don't feel like studying anymore yet my final is next week... Crap.. Really tired! Really hate APIIT! Worn out... I am total worn out.. My presentation didn't go that well though.. Sigh.. Really wish I could get at least a B for that program.. I am really hopeless now.. Don't know what to do but leave everything in His hand..

Awaiting Saturday to come... Really wish to listen to the sermon... Hehe.. I need to be more discipline! Though I read my bible but I really need to tune back my sleeping hour! No more online chatting till so "early"! GRRR... DISCIPLINE! Sound so easy yet so hard to achieved... Hmm....

God Vs Devil

Found this in Friendster's bulletin area.. Enjoy..

GOD: Angels, do you know what I was just thinking about?

ANGELS: What were you thinking about?

GOD: Christians seem to have forgotten what kind of power they have available and the devil keeps on deceiving them!

ANGELS: God, exactly what are you driving at?

GOD : I have made my children in such a way that when the people of the world are sitting, they would be standing, when the world is standing, they will stand out, when the world stands out, my children must be outstanding and when the devil dares the world tobe outstanding, my people will be the standards to be used!

JESUS CHRIST: They (Christians) are also forgetting the words in Ephesians 1:3.

GOD:Please read it out!

ANGEL: PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST , WHO HAS BLESSED US IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN CHRIST .

ANGEL: So what do we donow since the end is almost near?

HOLY SPIRIT: MyPresence is still among men and I will teach and remind the Christians of all that we have discussed. I will also make sure that they pass this message on!

JESUS CHRIST: I will also keep on interceding for them and stand in for them even in their weaknesses.

GOD:I will also make sure that I give to all those who ask of me, seek me and try to find me . The blessings I have promised them through my son Jesus Christ will be delivered to all those who discover that I, Jehovah, I am ready to bless them! Not because of any special things that they have done, but just because I LOVE THEM!

JESUS CHRIST: I will also give all my followers who are willing to pass this conversation on, enough strength to carry on!

ANGELS: We are all backing THE TRINITY and even the devil cannot stop us! How funny! Christians are finally taking over and .......

DEVIL (eavesdropping behind the gates): I hope you all heard! I will deploy more troops (demons) and make sure the Christians pray less, read their Bibles less, preach less and make sure this mail does not move anywhere!

Also.....YOU SURE HEARD THAT! THE DEVIL WILL MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT PASS THIS ON BUT PROVE HIM WRONG AND SHOW HIM THE POWER YOU HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS AS A CHRISTIAN. PRAY MORE, STUDY THE WORD MORE AND PREACH THE WORD!DO NOT DISAPPOINT GOD ! PASS IT ON!

Please keep me in intense prayer! Thank you all..

Repent...

Repent now as the time is near,
When will you "wake up" from your sin?
When will realise that those are unholy things?
Why are you holding on so tightly?
Do those things bring you joy?
Do those things bring you peace?
Do those things bring you love?
Most importantly, will those things bring you to God?

Repent now and come to the Lord,
God's plan is always perfect,
Each and every plans of His is unique and
we will never understand it
Though going through struggling,
Though going through persecution,
If we chose to follow Him and hold on tight
We will be vistorious
As His plan is to prosper us and never to harm us.
Therefore, repent now and come back to the Lord.

Bible verse for encouragement

I have swept away your offenses like a cloud,
your sins like the morning mist.
Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
(Isaih 44:22)

And we know that in all things God works
for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose.
(Romans 8:28)

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,
for I hide myself in you.
Teach me to do your will,for you are my God;
may your good Spiritlead me on level ground.
For your name's sake, O LORD,
preserve my life;in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes,for I am your servant.
(Psalm 143:8-12)

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.Selah
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.Selah
Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields with fire.
"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.Selah
(Psalm 46)

But he said to me,
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,
so that Christ's power may rest on me.
That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight
in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.
For when I am weak, then I am strong.
(2 corinthians 12:9-10)

I am not saying this because I am in need,
for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,
whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
(Phil 4:10-13)

Your choice...

I will have a tough time starting from now onwards... If this is what God wants in my life, then let it be done... I am afraid and having a shaking faith didn't help me out much... However, God is merciful... He knows everything well... He knows my limitation well... I am almost worn out... All I have, I give it all out... Don't dare to say that is the best out of me, as I know I can do better but at this very moment that is what I can give... I really need strength, knowledge, wisdom and patient from above to settle all this.

Facing all this in life really break my heart for quite a while.. I didn't know that how to face the truth that worldly things really change a person's view and actions... I message the first person that came in my head... He help me analyse things and help me to understand people's thinking. I was encouraged by him... On that day, a message came in saying that God loves me... I have the peace in my heart...

Hmm... Just a few questions to ponder about... Will you change your attitude due to worldly stuff? For instant, will you work hard just because you want to be a millionaire? Will your attitude change due to chasing after money? Or should I say, will your definition of ethic change? Money, power and women can really make a different in a person life isn't it?

I am in a business field and what I learn from this field is... It is a wicked world out there... A business is a business of business... How people change after they became rich, how the definition of "ethic" change just because of gainng more profit, etc.. I don't need to list them all down and I believe all of you will know what is really happening out there... Besides that, I realise something as well... We should always have a "business plan" in life.. Looking long term instead of short term (depending on your financial though).

Why everyone yearn for short term profit? Avoid risk is most of them answered but are they really avoiding risk or putting themselve more on risk? For example, implementing technology in an organisation... If you are still using manual system and refuse to change, what will happen then? In a long run, will this benefit you? On the other hand, if you take the risk on implementing computerised system in the organisation, though it will be hard at first but when time passes by, will that not benefit your company? Which bring more benefit? If you are a CEO of a company, will you choose to implement it or will you choose to go ahead with your old system?

It is hard to accept things in such a sudden with addition now is my peak hour in my study (meaning tones of assignments, test and final exam is just around the corner). With my own strenght I can never achieve success.. With my own strength I can never please God... One friend once said to me that I should not always have "pleasing God" in my head... However, I ignore those words. Reason? Simple.. If I can please God, human will eventually be happy... Who is God? He is just, holy and he hate evil... Isn't that what human wants? In addition, human are never perfect. So which should you put as your priority? A perfect "person" as your main objective or a imperfect person? No need to tell me the answer for that but do ponder on that...

God showed me this verse in the bible...

Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” —Acts 5:29

Who you choose to obey? The choice is your's...

Can I?

A broken spirit, a broken heart,
Can I ever be heal?
Can I ever be heard?
In humanity speaking
it is impossible for me to be heal
However in God nothing is impossible

That is all I have to offer to You,

Are You willing to receive it?

I am like a sheep,
always lost, always blur,
Living my life without a purpose
Living my life without a meaning
Not realising when will the wolf
come towards my way.
Now, are you still willing to guide me?

Holding on to Your promises,
Holding on to Your words,
yet I am still afraid,
becuase I am still human,
Living in the world
I tend to follow the pattern of the world...
Will you still take me as Your children then?

All I want now,
is just peace from above,
All I want now,
is just Your love,
All I want now,
is Your divine healing,
All I want now,
is Your guidance,
All I want now,
is just be a good daughter of Your's....
Can I?

《錯過一時，錯過一生》

《錯過一時，錯過一生》

生活有時陰差陽錯，你錯過了一時，就似乎錯過了一生。有個男孩，在學校的新生聯歡會上認識了一個女孩。女孩笑容入春花，聰明活潑，男孩對她幾乎是一見鍾情，卻沒有表露。因為男孩剛經過高中階段循規蹈矩式教育，對男女感情小心翼翼得令人難以置信，他想：「再等等吧，等一切成熟些，再向她說。」

一年多後的一個夜晚，男孩終於鼓足勇氣約女孩出來，向她表達了心中的愛意。沒想到，平時口齒伶俐的女孩結.結巴巴地說：「我......我想我不能接受......你的好意，一個星期之前......我已經......接受了另一個......男孩......我真得......不知你......會喜歡我......」女孩說完就跑掉了，沒有讓男孩看到她濕潤的眼睛。

後來，有人看到男孩同學校的校花經常出雙入對，大家都以為他看中了校花的美貌，誰也沒有注意，校花有著和女孩一樣的春花般的笑容，非常相似，所以誰都沒有發現男孩的苦心。但是沒多久，男孩與校花的愛情就以分手告吹。

大學生活很快就結束了。畢業後，女孩披上了嫁衣成了別人的新娘，而男孩再沒有戀愛過。因為他清楚，只有這個女孩才是他今生唯一的至愛。男孩從朋友那裡輾轉打聽到女孩的生日和地址，每到女孩生日時，他就會叫人送去九朵鬱金香，但他卻不知道女孩最喜歡什麼花，他自己最喜歡鬱金香。男孩知道女孩已為人婦，所以他從來不在卡片裡留下姓名和聯絡好號碼，他不想因為自己的感情而影響女孩的生活。

幾年時間轉眼就過去了，男孩依然是形單影隻，依然記得每年都送花給女孩。就在女孩生日的前兩天，男孩參加了一個同學聚會，他聽說女孩在這幾年裡經歷了兩次離婚，如今也是獨身，心裡又是心疼又是高興。他為女孩遭遇了感情的不幸而心疼，又為自己再次有了機會而高興......終於等到女孩的生日！男孩在卡片裡寫下幾個字：「你知道我在愛你嗎？！」男孩英俊的臉上灑滿了笑意與希望，逕直向街心走去......

就在那時，一輛逆行的貨車撞倒了他......

女孩在收到鬱金香的同時也收到了男孩的死訊。女孩明白了一切，她把自己鎖在房間裡哭了整整一夜。疋回想起多年前的那個夜晚，男孩對她表白。她一直不知道, 這近十年來，男孩是如此執著而痴心地愛著她！想到這裡，她就哭得更傷心，奔瀉的淚水將鬱金香浸染得無限淒美。女孩知道，她失去了今生難遇難求的至愛。

然而，長眠的男孩永遠也不知道，女孩最喜歡的，正是鬱金香啊......

What is life? I read a lot of story like this... Even I myself experienced incident like this in my life... Appreciate people around you... Words are easy to come out from a human's mouth but I clearly understand that it is hard to carry out the action.... We will never appreciate things around us untill we really loose it...

Happy? Sad? CONTRADICTING....

I am total worn out... Just finish of my SAD homework. I have one submission and 1 test next week. I give thanks to the Lord that they have extend the due date! However, please keep me in intense prayer as I am seriously stress out and I haven finish my assignment that need to be submit on this coming Tuesday! *wave white flag* HELP!

No idea what is ahead of me but I must hang on to God and push forward! I have no more strength in me... I doubt I have a conscience mind now... From Friday day up till now, what bothered me a lot is my study and personal life. Friday incident really hit on me hard! My head kept on thinking about that incident! I have no idea why but all I know is I want to flee from this place. It is just a small issue though yet my brain is putting on the critical mode... I can hardly sleep well these day as my brain, sub-conscience mind is not resting.. Waking up feeling even more tired before I sleep.

Friday is a day where I enjoy myself yet at the same time feeling sad. I went for a movie on Friday and the movie is great! Fast and the Furious, Drifting King! My dream show haha... Yet on the same day itself, I have a burden heart. I don't wish to write it down what has happened here but I know God will heal me and help me to overcome all this. I believe God allowed this to happened for a reason. No matter what happened, I will try my level best to look at the lesson behind the incident. Slowly I am getting the picture but it is not the full picture yet, so I will be patient and wait on Him.

Let His will be done in my life...

A poem from friend

A friend wrote this poem for me and I didn't realise that I kept this for such a long time!

It's all on u,
Belive u can do it,
And it will be done,
U'll reach those stars,
Ur victory will be won.

as u were in my past,
a friendship like our,
was just meant to last.

-wish you a world of luck!

Shoot for the moon,even if you miss,
You'll land among the stars!

Take hold of every moment

...A meaningful story with a great lesson...

Take hold of every moment

A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:

"This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package."

He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

"She got this the first time we went to New York, 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on. Was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it."

He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died.

He turned to me and said:

"Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion".

I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less. I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.

I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day. I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it. I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to. The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary.

If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.

I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... letters that i wanted to write "One of this days". I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't sayto my brothers and sons, not times enough at least, how much I love them. Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives. And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day. Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

If you got this, it's because someone cares foryou and because, probably, there's someone you care about.If you're too busy to send this out to other people and you say to yourself that you will send it "One of these days", remember that "One day" is far away... or might never come. .

Blessed day...

Blessed day indeed... Today is my parent's 31th anniversary and guess what, until 10.00pm only I got to know about it! Terrible daughter... Well, how I got to know is when my elder brother came back home bringing a big cake... Yam Yam.. American chocolate cake! Hehe.. At least can join in the party and have a nice piece of cake...

My baby car is back! Yipee~ On Monday, suddenly my mom told me that the car's engine caught fire and there is a big possibility that we need to change the whole engine! I... Total stone... Pray, pray and pray for safety journey as my brother is driving the car... As long as the car don't explode and my family members are alright then I am more than happy...

A good friend of my purposely wake up early in the morning just to send me to college today.. T.T so touch! In addition, came here super punctual! Thank you very much! Appreciate your help a lot.. Now i owe you another favour... Die.. How and when to repay all those? Haha... Patient... July is not far away... Haha.. Promise you that I will watch "Tokyo Drift" with you so hopefully I can fulfill that haha... A promise is a promise, hopefully I will carry out what I have promised... Remind me please, I am getting old.. Haha..

Another buddy of mine gives me a ride home after college, we went to Cheras Buisness Center to eat Che Choeng Fun! Haha.. Chatting all the way... Enjoy the trip a lot! I miss the good old days with him... Haha.. Used to overnight at his place with few other classmates, chatting, fighting for bed and so much more! A lot of fun in my life... =)

Don't know how to describe my day... I am really happy! Really really happy! Haha... Forgetting about my assignment... Letting go of myself for one day and just enjoy the blessing of God... Thank you God for the rest... I really need that.. God bless all of you!

I want to give, but....

I thank God that He has brought me to church yesterday... Excuses that I came out with was lame.. Very lame... I give thanks to Him that He have convince me and healed my hand during that period of time... Though the sermon is short but it is a fruitful sermon.. A sermon that made me come back to seek His face more deeply... Went there with a burden heart but came back as a renewed person. God timing is always right on time... He showed me things that I never really open my eyes and look at that area... Or should I say I chose to close my eyes and not look at it?

I pray all the while, until I reach church... The moment I step in church, I pray super hard for myself... Hoping that the "thing" will just leave me once and for all.. It is so hard to even swing the problems and burden out of me... My brain is slowly getting into critical mood.. Not towards God though but towards my problems and burden in my heart.... AHHH... God, that is hard to overcome! Fighting my wills, fighting with myself... I can hardly concentrate... When prayer meeting ends, I sat down and trying to let go of myself and wanting to hold on to Him...

Somehow, I open my bulletin... I got a shock of my life... "I want to give, but..." this is the title for today sermon.. I stone there.. Looking up, I said "You must be kidding right?"... Actually why I am so shock of it because that is normally what I said to God... One word... Excuses to serve Him fully... Excuses to compromise.... Excuses for not following what He wants me to do... It is like... Like God is using my words to speak to me... I close the bulletin and ponder on what will happen next...

One word strike me most...

"If you do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always get."

"Braekthrough does not come by knowledge. It comes with actions"

Short and simple yet the impact on me is so great...

Today sermon was refering to Deu 6:10-12, 24 and 8:6-20.

a) Having the rigth motive - Actions of showing gratitude.

deu 6:10-12

Moses main concern towards the Isreal is they will turn left and right instead of looking at God. He is afraid that once the Isreal are prosperous, they tend to be proud and forsaken the Lord. Therefore, he gave a clear instruction to remind the Isreal to remember who is the provider of all.

"When the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you - a lang with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant - then when you eat and are satisfied, be carefull that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery."

*Underline part: Isreal are not suppose to have all those things but becuase of God grace and great love towards them, God provide them the best. Therefore, Moses reminded them not to forget the Lord as He provide them all this. They should show their gratitude towards God and always remember that We serve God because He saved us [Italic part].

b) Trusting God's promise - Action of Faith

Deu 8:6-9

Always remember that God's province is certain. Isreal pray to God and God promise them a land [Read Due 8:6-9]. Yet they have send 12 spies over the promise land to have a look at the promise land.. However, due to 10 spies saying that the land is hard to conquer as the people who are currently staying in that land are bigger in size, the Isreal are reluctant to conquer the land. They forgot that the Lord have promise them the land and eventually the Lord will provide them the strength to conquer the land. They fear and fail to take the action because they are depending on their very own stregth rather than God's. As a result, the Isreal miss the opprtunity to step in the promise land because they chose to let go of it.. They wonder around the desert for 40 years due to their fear and lack of faith in God. However, God never forget His promise, He fulfilled His promise after 40 years... God never break His promises... It is just the matter of time... God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

*Malachi 3:10

"Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it"

If you could only take one step ahead and do what the Lord wants you to do, you will be prosper... If not, you will end up like the Isreal... God gives yet you chose not to take it? Take the action of faith! It is our faith and action that make things happen!

c)Acknowledging God's supremacy - Action of humility

Due 8:17-18

We always like others to praise us but do we turn the praise back to God and give thanks to Him?

"You may say to yourself,'My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me' But remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his convemant, which He swore to your forefathers, as it is today. [deu 8:17-18]"

It is clearly written in the bible that no matter how prosper you are now, no matter how much you owned now, it is not only YOUR own power and strength but also the opportunity given by the Lord and the blessing He gave to you. He gave you the ability to earn what you have now!

Have you acknowledge Him as God in life?

Sorry... I can't type too much as my hand is aching like mad! This is just a brief notes on what I learn in Church yesterday. Hopefully it speaks to you as well... For your information, I am once spiritually renew by the Lord.. So Praise be with HIM!

Praise Him every single moment...

READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY. .

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

Loving without measuring....

You can't make someone love you,
All you can do is be someone who can be loved,
The rest is up to the person to realize your worth.

The measure of love is when you love without measure.
In life, there are very rare chances that you'll meet the person you love
and loves you in return.
So once you have it don't ever let go,
The chance might never come your way again.

It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
than to lose the one you love because of pride.
We spend too much time looking for the right person to love
or finding fault with those we already love,
when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.

Disappointments are like road humps,
they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.
Don't stay on the humps too long. Move on!
When you feel down because you didn't get what you want,
just sit tight and be happy,
because God is thinking of something better to give you.

When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means.
There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Artist : Lauryn Hill
Title : His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
He watches me
I know
He watches
Me

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM

THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM
有些事并不象它看上去那样

Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guestroom. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."

两个旅行中的天使到一个富有的家庭借宿。这家人对他们并不友好，并且拒绝让他们在舒适的客人卧室过夜，而是在冰冷的地下室给他们找了一个角落。当他们铺床时，较老的天使发现墙上有一个洞，就顺手把它修补好了。年轻的天使问为什么，老天使答到：“有些事并不象它看上去那样。”


The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field? The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.


第二晚，两人又到了一个非常贫穷的农家借宿。主人夫妇俩对他们非常热情，把仅有的一点点食物拿出来款待客人，然后又让出自己的床铺给两个天使。第二天一早，两个天使发现农夫和他的妻子在哭泣--他们唯一的生活来源，一头奶牛死了。年轻的天使非常愤怒，他质问老天使为什么会这样，第一个家庭什么都有，老天使还帮助他们修补墙洞，第二个家庭尽管如此贫穷还是热情款待客人，而老天使却没有阻止奶牛的死亡。

"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it."

“有些事并不象它看上去那样。”老天使答道，“当我们在地下室过夜时，我从墙洞看到墙里面堆满了金块。因为主人被贪欲所迷惑，不愿意分享他的财富，所以我把墙洞填上了。

"Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem."

“昨天晚上，死亡之神来召唤农夫的妻子，我让奶牛代替了她。所以有些事并不象它看上去那样。”

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later...

有些时候事情的表面并不是它实际应该的样子。如果你有信念，你只需要坚信付出总会得到回报。你可能不会发现，直到后来…….

請問您這兒有上帝賣嗎?

Got this from a close friend... Enjoy..

一個小男孩捏著一美元，沿街一家一家商店地詢問：「請問您這兒有上帝賣嗎？」

店主要麼說沒有，要麼嫌他在搗亂，不由分說就把他攆出了店門。天快黑時，第
二十九家商店的店主熱情地接待了男孩。

老闆是個六十多歲的老頭，滿頭銀髮，慈眉善目。他笑咪咪地問男孩：「告訴我，
孩子，你買上帝幹嘛？」男孩流著淚告訴老頭，他叫邦尼，父母很早就去世了，
他是被叔叔帕特魯普撫養大的。
叔叔是個建築工人，前不久從鷹架上摔了下來，至今昏迷不醒。醫生說，只有上帝
才能救他。邦尼想，上帝一定是種非常奇妙的東西，我把上帝買回來，讓叔叔吃了，
傷就會好。

老頭眼圈濕潤了，問：「你有多少錢？」「一美元。」「孩子，上帝的價格正好是一美
元呢！」老頭從貨架上拿了瓶「上帝之吻」牌飲料給邦尼，說：「拿去吧！孩子，你
叔叔喝了這瓶『上帝』，就沒事了。」

邦尼喜出望外，將飲料抱在懷裡，興沖沖地回到了醫院。一進病房，他就開心地
叫嚷道：「叔叔，我把上帝買回來了，你很快就會好起來！」
幾天之後，一個由頂尖醫學專家組成的醫療小組來到醫院，對帕特魯普進行會診。

他們採用世界上最先進的醫療技術，終於治好了帕特魯普的傷。帕特魯普出院時，
看到醫療費賬單上那個天文數字，差點嚇昏過去。可院方告訴他，有個老頭幫他
把錢付清了。那老頭是個億萬富翁，從一家跨國公司董事長的位置上退下來後，隱
居在本市，開了家雜貨店打發時光。那個醫療小組就是老頭花重金聘請來的。
帕特魯激動不已，他立即和邦尼去感謝老頭。可是老頭已經把雜貨店賣掉，出國
旅遊去了。

後來，帕特魯普接到一封信，是那老頭寫來的，信中說：「年輕人，您能有邦尼
這個侄兒，實在是太幸運了。為了救您，他拿一美元到處購買上帝......。

感謝上帝，是他挽救了您的生命。但請您一定記住，真正的上帝，是人們的愛心！

READ:

Acts 6:9-15 All who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel. —Acts 6:15

Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me, All His wonderful passion and purity; O Thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine Till the beauty of Jesus is seen in me. —Orsborn

When Stephen was brought before the Jewish council for interrogation, “they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke” (Acts 6:10). As he was being accused, they “saw his face as the face of an angel” (v.15). By God’s transforming grace, we too can have a daily beauty in our lives. As we walk prayerfully in the Spirit, our faces increasingly reflect the beauty of Jesus.

A distinguished Bible scholar of the 19th century, J. B. Lightfoot, was described by one of his devoted students as “startlingly ugly: a stout little man with a grotesque figure and a squint.” But that same student also said that Lightfoot was “the best man I have ever encountered, and I say this deliberately after the experience of many years. In a day or two . . . his face appeared the most beautiful and lovable thing imaginable.”

When you look in a mirror, what do you see? Do you see a lovely reflection? A handsome face? Or do you see a plain or unattractive countenance? We want to give those who behold us what my friend called an aesthetic blessing. But what about the beauty of holiness? Are others blessed by the beauty that flows through us from Christ?

Opportunities

Got this from a friend... Do browse through it =)

This a deep point that leads to different questions.....

1) What is our heart for God ?

2) Why did I become a disciple/Christian ?

3) Did i think this life would be easy and that there would be no challenges or struggles ?

Those opportunities to invest your life for Christ’s sake are God-given. What we decide reflects who we really are.

Point # 2----What is striking in this story is that this is not coincidental.

Let me put a serious thought on our minds this morning...Every 20 minutes there are six people who will die, thats 600,000 people or more who will die without knowing if they will go to heaven or hell......How should that make us feel ? and how urgent should we be in making sure that the population of the Earth knows about Christ ?

We should remember the words of our Lord and Saviour when he says that he didnt come to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28) that means that we are being called out of our comfort zone and called to do something great for God

I think to share a little on the first point....

I totally believe that God wants us to search for him through our time with Him but he wants us to take what he has given us and not only put it into practice but to share it with others......we may think that the time we have belongs to just us but in reality it belongs to God and we should use the time He gives us wisely and share what we have in Christ with others so that they to may enjoy a personal relationship with God

Do I stay with a smaller church that desperately needs me, or do I choose a larger, more prestigious congregation?

Those opportunities require risk when we would rather play it safe. What will I do with my life? What am I going to do with myself? Is it a sucker’s game to give myself for others when everyone else is looking out for themselves? Should I get involved with my neighbor’s problems which seem endless and beyond any solutions? Should I try to help or should I read my Bible, study, and pray?

Life is made up of opportunities in which we make decisions that count for our Master.

there are two points that i would briefly like to cover..........

1)

To have listeners realize and apply how opportunities work out their commitment. "Talents" represent the opportunities that God gives to us. What does that mean? We are given the opportunities to invest and use our natural abilities, not for ourselves, but for Jesus Christ.

2)

Our true commitment is seen in how we respond to the opportunities that are given to us. TEXT: "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them" (Matthew 25:14-30).

OPPORTUNITIES GOD GIVES US TO SERVE HIM

Goodbye my readers....

Dear readers...

Well good news to all! From this very moment, 04 June 2006, Sunday, Lau Shan Shang will officially stop being a "blogger" or "writter".... I don't dare to say I will stop writing for the rest of my life, but at this very moment, I will be taking a very very long vacation from this blog.... Due to some personal issue, I might be coming back from the vacation!

I am currently uncertain of my life, my brain, my soul and even my dream... I need some quiet time to just calm myself down and look for "myself"... In order not to write things that shaken others' faith, I would like to take a break out of all this... I will still browse through my blog though to just check on the comments and chat box but I doubt there will be anyone to leave me messages hahaha... I will still put in stuff in this blog but it will not be something that is written by me... I think I will put in short story and inspiring life stuff in this blog.... Anyway, do keep me in your prayer as I seriously need your prayer... Pray that I manage to find myself back and let His will be done in my life *smile* Thanks for reading my boring blog all this while... Appreciate your time and effort...

Enjoy your life to the fullness and never regret in what you did in life =)

There is always a point where people stop and have a rest in order to continue the walk in the future. Hopefully this rest will really help me... Goodbye for now.. Hope to see you all soon in the near future =)
