great lesson

hiiii... bangkok here we come... hee.. went to bangkok on 29th to 2 dec.. a short trip with huiyi, laychin and weichen... first time going out to bangkok with them.. so excited.. hee..

we reached bangkok at about 8 plus?? couldn't really remember.. i think so.. then took a cab to our budget hotel in china town.. ( new empire hotel).. not a bad choice for a budget hotel actually..it doesn't cost much plus most of them can speak mandarin.. so is a lot more easy for us.. after checking in..we went to hunt for food nearby... first we sat down near the wantan mee stall... and of cos we ordered as well.. was kinda disappointed cos the bowl may appears big but the noodles.... no words to describe..then after that we still kinda hungry.. went to another stall.. and this time round we ordered some side dishes with rice.. finally, we are full.. guess what.. the wantan mee cost us 160baht 4person and the 4 dishes plus rice cost us bout 190baht... which we hardly can feel what is wantan noodle there.. but anyway.. we was full still.. so is still ok la.. shall not complaint too much..

hmmm.. will con't other days k.. night,...

family retreat...

this time round the 'camera man' fall sick.. but of cos he would not want to volunteer himself to not to go to the theme park.. hee.. and our dear princess loves the water.. and really enjoyed herself.. there isn't much changes in Sunway... after so many years.. maybe added this bungee bounce thingy.. could recalled it's name anyway.. was too ex to wanting to take this ride.. so we aborted it.. hee.. hmmm.. some hiccups during this trip was my sister in law had a fall.. her leg was trapped into the gap of the space ship thingy.. luckily it did not hurt much.. but all of us was worried for her ... there were bruises and scratches mark seen over the both legs.. but she claims that she's OK.. and being a nurse.. i've checked on her and make sure she's alright then we continue our journey..

我开始懂得爱是如此神奇
你的笑容仿佛充满魔力
让我不由自主地靠近你
跟你在一起的幸福时光
让我尝到了爱情的甜蜜
想永远在你身边守护你 …

2)虽然也有泪水与伤害
也曾懦弱迟疑忽略了关怀
但我不会丢下你一个人在爱情中孤军奋战

Chorus:
爱，是多么的不简单让
我头昏又目眩
也让我看到了世界最美好 的一面

爱，是多么的不简单
让我充实每一天
它让我懂得了生活的意义

something interesting

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships.
When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation. A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB.Sorry , I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is." Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

N O POINTING FINGERS
A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you." We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves. If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.


NO OVERPOWERING
Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another,or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character." It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness. It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..


R IGHT SPEECH
There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.


PERSONAL PERCEPTION
Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey. Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman." The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders. It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future. Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..


B E PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Is time for book review again..
This book was written by R.E Davies.. hmmm.. It took me almost 4 months to finish reading this book.. so 'chim' ar.. know what? everytime i started reading it.. my eyes wil automatically close.. for those people who suffered imsonia.. let me introduce this wonderful book to you... hee..
k la.. not as bad as that..
eventhough this book is kinda ' boring' but it does speaks to me.. hee.. i shall not complain then.. hee.. this book actually talks about the history of revival..and awakening..

what is revival??

Revival brings back spiritual consciousness, life, and vigorous health--to flourish again after decline. Revival recovers the biblical standard of truth, doctrine, and lifestyle. It is a fresh awareness of the presence of God, a confession of sin leading to a restoration of holy living, a new initiative in fulfilling the Great Commission, a new hunger for the Word of God, and a new faith for the supernatural.

Real revival comes only from God. He alone is the fountainhead. A spiritual awakening cannot be scheduled, worked up or humanly engineered. If we are to experience a "refreshing time from the Lord," it will be because God's sovereign hour has arrived. God grants revival blessings when and where he pleases.

From the surveys that was done by the authors which revival and awakenings happened mainly cause by :
-persistent prayer
-powerful preaching and testimony
-a deep awarenes of the pesence and Holiness of God leading to a strong sense of conviction of sin and repentance
-physical manifestation of conviction of sin
-miracles of healing and the excercise of spiritual gifts such as supernatural knowledge, prohecy and speaking in tongues.

something i learned from this book was how the non believer view revival, they will often focus on the outward and unusual phenomena, rather than concentrating on the inward experirence which causing the external and exceptional..

Something that really spokes to me thru this book was God can use just anyone to do His work..
As we prepare our life for revival, focus o God and divine possibilities.. Faith comes by the word of God .. As He is the source of revival..

Relationship..continuation..

God is pursuing a love relationship with us. It is filled with stories of people in relationship with God. It's not just laws and dates and battles, it's people; people who came to know God and through their lives got to know God more and more deeply. For examples..Abraham, Moses, David, the prophets.... Whether you know of these people from your own experience of reading the scripture or not, trust me on this, all of these people have a relationship, a living communication with God...

In the New Testament is it the same way; Mary, Peter, Paul, John; we look at their life and we can see what was written in scripture was progressive relationship with God. It's everywhere there... as what i mentioned earlier on in previous blog.. God wasn't just an idea for these people. God was a person. God is a person that they grew to know better and better and that God calls us to know him better and better..

God deserve our praise and support as He love us so much..hee.. any objection??

Relationships..

RELATIONSHIPS.. a complicated stuff to talk about.. this issue never stop.. Relationships are cornerstones in life. First, an intimate and personal relationship with God through Jesus. But, also healthy relationships with others. We were created in love, for the purpose of love.

God demonstrated His love for us in the most dramatic possible way by sending His own Son into the world as the path for us to come into a permanent and personal relationship with Him. In that relationship, God directed us as Christians to demonstrate our love first by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in order that others might come into their own personal relationship with Him. In this way, we become channels of God’s love into the lives of people throughout the world with a focus on their most fundamental spiritual need --- the assurance of eternal life with God. (Matthew 28:19,20)


too.. too.. lazy to continue.. but will still continue other time.. hee..

The spirit control woman

Read this book by Beverly LaHaye..
is mainly about what is temperament? and their strengths and weaknesses.. Our strength do not cause us much trouble in life, since they usually provide our unique set of talents.. This book studied more on to the weaknesses that causes us most problems.. And to learn to rely on the ministry of the Holy Spirit who is in us after we receive Christ as our personal Savior and Lord, then we can go on to become the kinds of people God originally intended us to be..

in this book.. it really describe the 4 temperaments .. hee.. i am an extrovert.. i believed most of you will agree.. hee.. after further analysis.. i am a sanphelg.. it was writen there as well.. 'knowing your primary temperament and secondary is helpful, but only if you go to the Holy spirit to help you confront your weaknesses' from this book i learned that I have to depend on the word of God and the filling of the Holy Spirit, to acomplish all that God has for me..

Besides that, it also mention that singleness is not a curse.. The Holy Spirit does not select only mature christians to fulfill the promises of God. God promises are available to anyone who is willing to completely yield her life to the Lord.'You are not the owner of your own body. if you are a Christian, you have been bought with a price; therefore , you should glorify God with your body.' Singlehood at any age is what ou make it to be. It can be a full, rich, and rewarding life.. ( Phi 4:11) -'For I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content'

That's all for today ya.. hee..

mission trip

Jac, Eugene, Robert, myself and MingHan( from Hope Melbourne).. We went to Ubon Ratchathani for a short term mission trip right after Thai church camp..guess what..the journey to Ubon is about five hours thirty minutes.. Pastor Sumet came and picked us up from the bus terminal to Hope Ubon church.. The first impression of Pastor Sumet was He is a very friendly and humble man. Pastor welcomed us with his wife cooking.. so nice of them.. hee.. after dinner, jac and I staying in a room while the brothers the other room..
The room was not in good condition in a way like.. spider webs all over, arrr... saw some insect lying somewhere in the room.. still ok la actually.. not much of problem lo hee.. guess what i noticed.. jac can be in deep sleep too.. but her deep sleep never last long.. why i say so cos she woke me up in the middle of the night to help her kills the bug.. haiii...

next day morning.. i've got no choice but to clean up the spider webs.. so that i will have a peaceful sleep.. hee..

Pastor Sumet bring us out for breakfast and told us the itinery for that day.. he is so cute.. scared that we don't understand him.. he then bring us to a sister's office to help him translate the itinery.. we went to another sister's house to share with her son.. that was great.. Pastor also bring us to a funeral.. At night, we had caregroup with the size of a unit.. bout 40 members.. Pastor Sumet wanted us to sing a special song for them.. and Robert and Minghan shared their testimony..

next day on 4th May, it was a fantastic experience.. we went to Chongmek(Laos border).. there is a church there a size of 20 members..The church over there was not in good good condition.. it was like only a shelter with no washroom amenities.. hee.. then we went to Hope Srisaket.. Over there we visited JS school and Thai American school.. which was run by house of mercy foundation.. so nice right.. they'll use the profit from the school to fund the orphanages in thai..when we were back to church, i had to prepare a testimony for sunday service.. as they need it on saturday..

on 5th may, Pastor Sumet brought us to Mek euwe's place.. over there we had a full body massage.. and guess what i met up with Aon which she is now my friend.. hee.. her sheep was fantastic.. she composed a birthday song for a brother in church.. really love that song.. i even recorded it in my handphone.. and i got Aon to translate the song as well.. very meaningful..
In the afternoon it was my turn to take charge of the evax.. It was raining heavily.. we prayed for the rain to stop within 5 minutes and it stop.. so powerful hor.. but when we reach the park.. it started raining heavily again.. but we manage to share to the people around us under the shelter.. initially eugene and translator approached a couple and share the bridge diagram, me and the rest singing praise songs.. and here goes jac and the other Thai translator.. they shared bout the good news as well to an old lady.. jac called me in as the old lady complaining that she felt numbness and pain while walking.. and i assess her knee condition.. and we prayed for her.. she says the sinners prayer before we prayed for her.. hee.. we all was so happy for her.. Later in the evening, our dinner was thai steamboat.. we feasting there man.. hee.. after that we went to the local mall .. when we reach the church, the worship team was having their practice.. and they invited me to jooin their practice as well .. i was having fun there teaching them the action of some of the praise songs..

It was sunday.. our last day in hope ubon.. we woke up earlier that day so that we can join their early prayer meet.. there are three services on sunday and we attended the 1st and 2nd service.. i had to share my testimony in first service.. as usual.. i got stage fright.. haha.. but i still manage to finish sharing the testimony i prepared earlier in.. hee.. Then jac and eugene shared theirs in 2nd service.. we prepared a gift (photo frame with our nice inside... hee...) to pastor Sumet.. After second service, we were assigned to different group to share bout our experience .. and i was assigned to the youth group.. i introduced myself to the group and we played 'blow win blow' and a birthday celebration with one of the brother there and we sang the song that was composed by peekay.. (the song i mention earlier on).. and we end the session by praying for them..Really miss them man..

THREE STEP FORWARD TWO STEPS BACK

Few months back went i was reading on this book by Charles R Swindoll which recommended by my spiritual mentor when I am facing bad times and feel like giving up hope in God recently… But one thing which has reminded me when I was reading this book was that ‘life is a task. A tough one. Sometimes absolutely unbearable.’ and the truth is that there are no easy, 1-2-3- solutions.. Trouble don’t disappear because we just ignore them. I would like to share to you guys regarding how it inspired me..
It really took me sometimes to wanting to act on it.. I knew all this before I read the book. But somehow, knowing it does not mean doing it and understand it…I believed that you will agree with it too.. And after reading it I felt more secure cause I know that God is with me .. As what have written in the book of
Isaiah 41:10( Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.)
Psalm 27:1 ( The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
I was also reminded bout God’s great goal for us is not that we be comfortable or satisfied, nor that we live out a ‘wonderful plan’ of constant smiling, being happy, facing no calamity, no evil and no difficulty. But by believing In Jesus Christ, we might step into a world of testing that we never knew before, because we will have become the object of Jesus Himself, and His character traits are to be formed in our life. And frankly we can’t have them formed without the fire and loss.. The path of obedience is often marked by times of suffering and loss
In Job23:1-14 says that
But He know the way I take;
When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold
My foot has held fast to His path;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
I have not departed from the command of His lips;
I have treasured the word of His mouth more than my necessary food.
But he is unique and who can turn Him?
And what His soul desires, that he does.
For He performs what is appointed for me,
And many such decrees are with Him
God uses an infinite number of vehicles in the process of helping us grow.. I’ve never met anyone who become instantly mature. It’s a painstaking process that God takes us through, and it includes such thing as waiting, failing, losing, and being misunderstood.. Each one calling for extra doses of perseverance… God provides things money cannot touch.. Security replaces insecurity.. We receive purpose and renewed direction we gain an understanding, compassionate heart- along with wisdom we never had before.

Thai camp

As I have promised.. we touch down to bangkok at 9 plus on 26th of May.. very tired as it was my sleeping day after doing three night shift in ICA.. did not have enough sleep actually plus the flight was not comfortable.. was suffering in the plane actually.. but what to do, no $$ ma.. so must take budget airline lo.. went straight to Rombo Mansion and check in.. Slept well that night.. The next morning woke up at about 7am for devotion, and join the rest for breakfast in a mall nearby.. guess what!! our food was only 10baht le.. so cheap right..

After breakfast some of them suggested to go to fashion mall to shop.. But our group went to meet Yolanda's brother for lunch.. it was a great experience as well. they are so hospitable.. after lunch we went to Platinum to shop.. hee.. got myself a shirt, a 3/4 pant, a cap, and a white dress.. but too bad..later when jac found out what i get for myself she started nagging at me.. nag and nag.. non stop.. hee.. then some of them went to the world trade just next to platinum.. but jac, eugene and myself continue to shop at platinum.. hee.. about 8 plus we had to go back to the hotel for a wash up as we r heading off to Khon Kean during the night.. we slept in the bus that night..

Reach Khon Kean at 7am in the morning.. continue sleeping till eleven then went out to hunt for food with Pastor Lawrence, Michael and the rest.. after lunch , we went to the stadium .. here we go.. starting of our camp.. Title: peace filled church.. we spend 4 days in the stadium.. to listen to God's word and the teaching of the pastors.. i remember that there is a prophesy saying something like why are we still single?? The answere was.. sometimes it is more effective to serve the Lord in singlehood as we are able to give up more for God.. Actually during that time i really thought of pledging another year of singlehood for God but spoken to my shepherd.. if God really inspire me of pledging another year i will go ahead... but somehow it did not convince me.. so i call of that thought.. hee..

Something That i really learned during the camp was that I can rest in God and let God handle the situation..i am worried of a lot of things before i went to church camp.. I am worried bout the finace at home, worried bout my work, my relationship with other, my sis, my studies and etc.. but one thing i learned during the camp was to let God be the centre of everything..he is in control.. a lot of time we have to evaluate ourself.. who is in the centre of
our heart?? what is more important?? God, $$, worldly thing.. etc?? check your heart frequently..

That's all for the church camp.. hee..
