Just saw this while blog surfing. sorry for ranting.. haha.. I need a greater capacity to deal with everything!

We don't live in a perfect world.
Learn to live with imperfect situations, unresolved issues and unfulfilled expectations without losing your great spirit.
There's always something that isn't the way you want it.
Get happy in spite of this.
As you deal with it, stay happy, not upset.
If the unresolved problem gets you, then it's won.
Stay on top even when it's trying to get you down, and you'll win.
This is Christianity at its best.
Staying up in a down situation.
That's leadership.

it wasnt a good day.

but i will move on.

it set me thinking.

what should i have done?

it's just 20 more days.

im thinking.

what would u do when u are faced with a challenge?

struck with an arrow.

will you keep on fighting?

or will you fall away injured.

there are always setbacks in life.

it's how we handle it.

no one, no person in this world will measure up to ur expectations all the time.

that why we have the word 'disappoint' in the dictionary.

stay focused and move on.

the goal is right ahead.

i will be stand up and fight!

3 more days to go.........

Standing in awe of Your grace
Setting my feet in Your ways
Entering into Your presence
To behold you face to face

God of all heaven and earth
Holding me in Your embrace
Unfailing love that surrounds me
Oh God, I stand amazed

My Jesus, My Lord
You're the love of my life
Wherever You go
Wanna be by Your side
No longer I
But Christ living in me
Serving You for all eternity

MY eyes set on You
In this race that I run
No longer my ways
Let Your will be done
Make me a servant
My heart's ever true
Clinging to the cross
I'll follow You

4 more days to go........

as promised earlier, this is my long long entry. 1st, let me start with this verse that i have been meditating on.

Neh 5: 19 - Remember me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

E earlier part talks about how Nehemiah had provided for the people and his generosity towards them. As I read, i felt God trying to speak something to me. Why did Nehemiah pray this prayer? What had he done exactly for the people? But all these didnt really matter. The key here is that Nehemiah HAD DONE something for the people and that's why he can pray this prayer. He had made a difference in the lives of the people and thus he can ask of God to remember him.

My point here is that are you able to pray such a prayer? In my case, what have you done for the children? Have you given the best of all that you had? Do you think you justify praying this prayer? I have been meditating on it for quite a while, asking myself a lot of questions. Through the past 7 years that I have been serving, what have I given, what have I done. Have I always given my all. There are times when I held back, there are times that i gave my all. I know, and I know, what God can do with my all. Like what Joyce shared, don't limit God. so cool. My God is so amazing.

Other than this, I have also observed quite a bit of things while in army. Some interesting stuff.

1) it's interesting how people from all walks of life can come back, gather and meet once a year, and yet, they can fight together and for one another.

How much more will we, as Christians, who gather twice a week, fight this fight of faith. To work together, for God and for one another. Covering each other backs, and going about to do His work.

2) This is relevant to me, might not be for others. How a guy can put on his green uniform and go to the jungle and be so normal. Like just lying down on the floor and sleep, walking around in total darkness except for the moonlight. Get dirty and muddy and yet, take it all in his stride as he marches out for e warfare. I would feel so weird if you ask me to put on my t-shirt and jeans and go to the jungle, i wouldn't be able to do all that.

Isn't is the same, without the whole armor of God, the helmet, the breastplate, the sword, the shield, we would feel like we are going to the battlefield with t-shirt and jeans. so unprepared. If you are going to war, make sure you grab your armor. With God's armor, you are well protected and guided.

I love the worship song that we sang in church over the weekend. Hati Hamba, the english version. Words that are so true, from the bottom of our hearts we will sing. I love my God!

it's been really long since i blogged, and so this is just gonna be a random entry of many things.. been really really busy with Junior Emerge planning and zone matters that i feel so stretched. haha.. one of my leader told me, i should learn to say no to some stuff that im asked to do.. harhar.. but i guess, im a Mr Yes, everything also can, can be done, no problem and thus, im soooooooooooooooooooooo busy.. harhar.. but its a good experience, to stretch my capacity and stuff..

Work has been pretty roller-coaster. days of fun and days of moohoo-ness. moohoo is a new word formed by me while chatting with a fren. moohoo-ed = bored, moohoo-ing = boring.. the reason it being moo, is coz a cow's moo sounds really bored.. can u imagine? mooooooooooooooooo................ n hoo is bcoz of boohooo = cry, woohoo = happy, so therefore, moohoo-ed = bored!!! im pretty moohoo-ed now coz i just wanna stone.. harhar..

just wanted to write this to encourage my ever-powderful helper, cal! harhar.. mistakes are meant to be made and learnt from. and just wanna say im really proud of you of the way you handled the outreaches! wanna know how was it? here's the results!!

the plan of adopting a block was birth forth during the service with Pastor, all i need was to share the vision, pray for it, and oversee some admin stuff while Cal, and my SOT helper, CL(future cgl), took over everything, from saturation to planning, designing flyers, conducting the outreaches, following up. and so on the very 1st week, we had 2 regulars and 7 newcomers!! then last week, it was visitation where we gave them party packs and challenged them to bring friends!! harhar.. then today was the 3rd and final phase of the outreach, we had 20 kids!! 4 regulars with 16 newcomers(including the 7). And its really awesome coz some of the kids are coming back for sports day this sat!! harhar..

Im simply amazed at what God can do. It was just a thought, a vision, an idea that He gave me. and look at the fruits that it bore forth. Truly, we do not labor by our own strength, but in prayer, God reveals ideas and shows us how it is to be done. that's why ministry to God comes before ministry to man! Just saturation for one block brought forth 16 newcomers!! Close your eyes and begin to visualize. Saturation in 1 block = 16 ncs. I have close to 100 blocks in Bedok, isnt that going to be thousands of children?

I do it not by my own strength, but through Him! See the revival in your groups! Visualize and see. It may not be block adoption, it may be something else. Ideas and plans changes, but God's promises never changes! Amen! Cal and CL, you two are awesome! my friend told me this today, "you are blessed with great helpers!" I can't agree more that what she said!

Anyway, I've been thinking. In e midst of making some decisions. Should I, should I not? What do I do? harhar.. God, show me the right way! :)
