Readings

thanksgiving!

thank God that He hold me, my foot almost slipped. (i mean not literally.)

thank God for annual leave! i really love this time of the year! been spending time reading for the past 4 days.

Somethings to share here and there. =)

VISION/MISSION IN LIFE

A whole new paradigm shift!

Imagine you've been trying very hard climbing a ladder your whole life. When you reached the top, you celebrate! But as you look around you, you realised that it is not where you wanna be. And then you realised you've been climbing the wrong ladder.

or

You can have the best car pumped with the best petrol running at 140km/hr. You're efficient, fast, cool, a nitch above the rest. But when you arrived at your destination, you realised that this is not to place you wanna be either. You've headed for the wrong direction.

Managers are like ppl who facilitate the cutting of trees, organizing them and encouraging them to make sure they cut as many trees as they can. Leaders stand on a tall hill, saw the whole picture and shouts, "Stop, we're cutting the wrong forest!"

App: To not just manage my life but lead my life. need a personal retreat to establish God-given vision and mission in accordance to where He's leading (circumstance), His Word, passion/interest, Wise counsel, wisdom.

RISKS

Inspiring Poem by Ann Landers'!

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To place expose feelings is to risk rejection
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure

A person who risks nothing may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow, or love.

TEAMWORK(THINK WIN/WIN, INTERDEPENDANCE Vs INDEPENDANT)

Good interactive analogy!

Get 2 ppl up and play arm wrestling. Let them know that they have 60s. Everytime one managed to press the other party down, he'll get a dollar. Rather than both of them struggling and have one winner in 60s, they can both take turns to let each other win within the 60s. In that way, they can achieve much more(dollars), together.

Ask, Seek, Knock!

adding on to the previous post, i just thought of an example re asking, seeking and knocking. its like support raising. we dont jus pray (asking) but also did newsletter to give to our friends by faith (seeking), and invite them to join in the great commision by praying and giving (knocking) =) and we begin to experience God as Jehovah Jireh, our provider be it in prayers and finances.

thanksgiving!

though jb trip was cancelled cos both me and my dad woke up late but its really really nice to stay at home the whole day reading books!

prayers!

Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people in terms of studies. and same... to be in the centre of His will.

thanks =)

Ãsk, Seek, Knock!

God revealed sth abt this verse to me today as i was abt to slp. It must have been God bcos I never heard sth like tt before, felt that there's so much truth to it, make sense to me and at the same time timely for someone i talked to just now: ask and it will be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened to you. it is a common and widely used verse even for non christians. i jus realised sth. the verse didnt stopped at ask, it continued to seek and even knock. God ans prayers and gives but sometimes, we didnt see it cos we dont seek, and if we sought and found but didnt try knocking, of cos the door wont b open.

ok, tts all. gdnight! =)

Thanksgiving!

hello!

thanksgiving!

for J & A tansport to make uni and sometimes back home fr work, they r really a nice couple.

for cell. was totally blown off by what i hear today abt V's life, abt hw he was involved in black magic, able to see demons, able to ask demons to help him in exams. and then hw his spirit got out of his body, lost consciousness, struggled with demons, then he called on the name of Jesus and came back but even so, he still sometimes lost conscious, turned violent in hospital, not even 4 doses of sedative could control him. then Ps. D prayed for him and cast the demons out of his body. this is very summarised. should hear from V himself man!

for J sharing today, bringing heaven into earth, our assignment and what we are called to do, fulfilling the great commision, its kinda linked to what God has been speaking to me this period of time! amazing! =)

God is really meeting my needs! ytd boss (@tuition centre) called me back to do cleaning cos they service the aircon so the place was quite dirty. so i had extra cash. and, my boss gave me 5 pcs of pies from pie kia cos someone gave them and they cant finish.

prayers!

May His kingdom come, His will be done everywhere i go!

Excited!

i didnt update for the past 2 days due to fatigue. but LIFE'S BEEN REALLY EXCITING! God sustained me. Had a nice sleep till 1.30pm today. SHIOK!

Thanksgiving highlights:

Met up with C & S at CWP to share and pray for each other =) God used her sharings and diff situatiions to speak to me re: the exact same need that I have. That as I begin to centre myself in God's will, He will meet my needs. So my focus shouldn't be on my inadequacies but on Him and answering His call, no matter what He called me to do, He will provide all that I need.

I'm really happy!

Prawning w J, A & J! Though I didnt catch any, it is really the ppl that i enjoyed, and God blessed J that she caught many many prawns!

Prayers:

To be in the centre of God's will, and tt when He calls me, I will ans.

Time to read thru ins. policies. Wisdom to choose a gd ins. policy to commit. Guard my heart agaisnt greed, envy, things not of God

That my heart will still place God as No. 1 and please Him, no matter what.

i learnt that as i focus on God, He will meet my needs. today was on the train, kinda tired but decided to spend time with God by reading the Word on the train while standing instead of paying attention to who gets up next so i can get the seats. jus after awhile, a few seats came, and i didnt even had to rush to get them! Indeed, God will meet my needs as i look to Him, my source, my everything.

Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

and to guard me from demonic wisdom... self-seeking? confusion?

thank God for:

great day, slept till 1pm. it was awesome!

retreat with God, great time releasing all thats within me, my worries, my burden to the Lord, to pray and once again commit my plans to Him, affirming my trust and faith in Him, worshipping Him and listening to His promises and assurance!

KAT- Kids Action Team. It's a monthly children minstry workers meet on the thu of every 1st wk. It always encourages me to read God's Word. I had fun with taboo and laughing at my own game! LOL! i really love this game. And to know that God appreciates me!

supper which is $12, cos i only had $13 in my wallet.

dont have to go for the cleaning job.

safe journey

for this book tt i'm gg start - keys to financial excellence by phil pringle fr NLB. Gd r/v fr Joyce Meyer, John Bevere & John C. Maxwell. think i really nd knowledge or assurance in regards to managing $$ according to how it may please God rather than what ppl say (everyone's advice varies anw).

and everything cos all things work for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. =)

SLEEP!

Thursday, April 01, 2010

hi, i'm actually very tired today due to lack of slp but still managed with God's strength. on am shift, then met 2 ins agent, then dinner and cell, then work.

thanksgiving-
for cell, we opened up alot to each other. today heard hw each of them came to the Lord. it was amazing!

i was posted to a rm tt apparantly lacked staff due to mc however, workload was very light, finished everything by 12pm!

joy, faith and trust in God!

an ans prayer
ytd when i went to work at the tuition centre, the toilet bowl was spoilt, it looks stuck and the water were overflowing, i kinda prayed for it and try to meddle with it... i mean sticking the end of the stick and digging out whatever i can. the water subsided. i dunno if it worked cos they off the water supply, i jus leave all to God and the nxt day i asked abt it again and they said they didnt call the plumber, the toilet bowl worked aft in subsided.

still confused over what ins to buy but i shouldnt let this issue distract me fr my priorities- loving God and ppl.

gd nights!
