It's hard to understand.

It's interesting.

Sometimes what we see as a privilege is not so to another person because it's offered too easily. That still doesn't remove it from being a privileged position though.

I feel that:

1. People unappreciate others thinking for them.

2. Maybe some people need to go through the route of hardship to decide for themselves.

3. What I've never understood is why people accept the norm as 'correct' rather than what the Word says.

Maybe I need to dwell more on the Word. We need to make that transition. And fast.

Oh Lord, you know that I feel unappreciated. I know it's just my point of view but I do feel that way. Because I've given opportunities and created a situation which I feel is good for this person, but somehow this person is unable to see how good it really is. And yet sees what is offered in the norm as what they really want. O Spirit, I have no problems with others not fulfilling what I am supposed to do. But for others unable to share a biblical perspective, that is painful. I thank you that you know all things and know my thoughts. Enable me to be a good mentor. I know I've done my best and done what I'm supposed to do. I can't think of anything more I could do. If there's anything more that must be done, it must be you.

You are my encouragement, my shield, and my reward. I look forward to you as my reward. Whatever this experiment may be, you are my reward. And all I want is you. You belong to me, and I belong to you. What this achieves or how this helps others only you know. I surrender to you. I do my best for your kingdom and not my own. You know that. I do my best because I love your sheep.

Give me the sheep that really will go the way of Jesus. Not that I am the only one choosing that way, but I know not many go the way you did. I hope to go that way. I pray you will give me sheep that will go that way with me. They can be an encouragement to me and it will remind me that all I have done I have not done in vain. You know I'm so sad that men and women of God are unable to pass who they are to other people. I now realise it's because it's hard to find the people who they can pass who they are to. Please, dear God. Let me not be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. Give me the right people, the people who will imitate me as I imitate Christ, the people who will benefit and be grateful for the ministry I do, the people that I can be proud of and take delight in. Grant me real Joshuas who love your presence, who love me, and people I can impart my heart to.

Weep.

I'm not the best person to relate to nor the person with the most pleasant tongue. But let my heart forever be on the side of good and let my tongue speak nothing but truth. Maybe being too correct is an irritation and being too insightful is a put-off. But can I see truth and not speak, see disaster and not lift a hand?

"But he did not entrust himself to them, for he knew what was inside man." At the end of the day, you are my ONLY reward. Even if no one commends me, you must commend me. You must! Or what would this sacrifice all be? Or why should I face all kinds of dangers? Or why should I defy norms of life which everyone takes for granted? Or why should I deny myself and follow you?

You must be my reward. Grant me yourself -- the sweetness of your presence, the power of your majesty, the massive abilities you have, and the wondrous friendship you had with Moses and Abraham. Through this ministry I will know you. I will know your glory, the fellowship of your sufferings, and the gong-ness of your disciples. And your amazing grace to all: both those handpicked by you and those who volunteer to be your Soldiers. I pray that in the same way I share in your sufferings, I will share in your joy.

Will continue to love them. Amen.

Limpeh feeling down so Limpeh bloG.

I not feeling v happy today. Not happy because:

1. I feel a very strange amount of fatigue that didn't seem to be resolved by watching Shen Diao Xia Lu.

2. I feel fat.

3. Been needing more self-control recently.

4. In today's Outreach, the congregation was not limited to the 4 of us. We also had the pesky mosquitoes that ruined our day.

5. Grrr I HATE MOSQUITOES

6. I feel stressed.

7. I need rest. REAL Rest.

8. I miss some friends that don't miss me. :( Very pek-chek.

9. I hate my debt.

May God hear my cry and be my comfort. GRRRR.

And I hope those friends will re-enter my circle. I miss them badly.

After a long long time, I blogged again.

It's 2 a.m. in the morn and I'm still chatting! Hahaha.

Sometimes life is real tough. From what I know, I think it's 'cos of the molding hands of God. God is making me for bigger purposes, I know. Sometimes I ask, God, do I really learn that slowly?

Thank God I managed to witness today!!!! WHEWWWW WEEEET! The Scripture for today: "Behold, I stand at the door and BOMB!"

More grace for paper tomolo. In Jesus' name, amen.

My 2 churches have a BIG BIG NEED

We've got a BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG NEEEEEEED for ldrs. Everyone: HELP!!!!

lol.

As in seriously. Need fishermen, 'cos harvest zui zui, but no basket to collect, will end up dropping back into ocean one....HELP!!!!!!!

A simple(r) Life

Topic 1
The modern parable (not very well done since it's just from the top of my head, but should be clear enough to show you guys what I'm aiming at)



"Fire in the hole!"

"Argh! Argh! I've been hit by a flash! Pull out, pull out!"

"Regroup team."

One thing that stuck from hearing A.R. Bernard's message: consider the ant. The ant doesn't stop until he heads to the place where he's supposed to go. And the only time he stops is when he's totally lost his sense of direction. Total time stopped: 2 min. To do what? To get his bearings together and then to chiong again.

The only time an ant stops is in order to regroup.

It's time for Dan to "regroup" as well. Time to gather the faculties together and to keep doing what we know is right, without thinking too much or hesitating too much. To keep on keeping on. So long we keep on at a winning formula, we can win. It's just a matter of time.

Topic 2

"We were created to glorify God."

How does a human being glorify God? By doing human things. How do children of God glorify God? By doing godly things.

So, we are to do both.

So how do I glorify God? By:

1. Eating
2. Exercising
3. Sleeping
4. Thinking
5. Working
6. Studying
7. Playing
8. Talking

How else do I glorify God? By:

1. Worshipping
2. Meditating
3. Sharing the good news
4. Encouraging

Qtn: how does 1 man do so many things? LOL.

Had a Kit KAT

Had a break today. =)

A very very good break.

Am deciding btwn the books biz and the guit biz... Maybe I should ask my fans. How many of you think I should do my books biz, and how many of you think I should do my guit biz insteaD?

Some updates: family is in financial crisis (again). Would like to request lots of prayers and help from anyone. Quite serious...

I am very shacked these few days. I think it's 'cos I'm getting too fat.

Had this song running in my head a few days liao

I had a bad day, yeah.

She said you would not understand.

She left a note that said I'm

Sorry, I, I had a bad day yeah.

She spilled her coffee broke a shoelace.

and smeared the lipstick on her face.

Slammed the door and said I'm

Sorry, I, I had a bad day again.

BRIDGE:

and she swears there's nothing wrong
I hear her play that same old song
she puts me up and puts me on, oh woah,

I had a bad day again

(I had a bad day again)

she said you would not understand.

she left a note that said i'm

sorry, I, I had a bad day again.

It wasn't all bad la. More like mixed. But this song kept running in my head. Didn't realise that the parts of the lyrics I had forgotten were actually quite apt....especially the part about "you would not understand".

One cannot heave his heart into his mouth too often, it makes for weaklings and prolonged lickings of wounds. But I need people I can be vulnerable with... People who will understand.

Working takes an inordinate amount of time...

Sigh. It's hard to maintain a balanced approach to life, because of sickening....WORK!!!!!

Can't stand work any longer....grrrr.....

Am getting fatter, and cannot focus on what I like to do 'cos of stupid work.....

Grrrr. Work work work.

Feel like a peon.

thank you God for making me me

Read through my profile again, and wanna say again:

"And I just thank you Father for making me, me."

Me and God, we're an army. Me, God and others, we're a trillion. :D

I am a fish??!?!?

Got very very VERY angry today.

Heard that Jan's brother dared to whack her. As in, he hit her on her shoulder. Hard.

Have you ever heard of younger brother daring to whack an older sister? First he spat on her, then he whacked her. Blatant disrespect. In fact, spitting called as "disrespect" is an understatement. I have no regard for people who dare to act like that. None AT ALL.

Blood boil. If I were not in Christ, and he was right before me....I would give him exactly what he deserves. With added interest, saliva and phlegm.

In fact I was so mad when I heard about it just now I wanted to rush over (from Tampines), grab the imbecilic brat (yes, if you're reading this, may the whole world know that YOU ARE A SPOILT BRAT. A crappy SPOILT BRAT.) by the cuffs, and knock him senseless. Not to mention that if I really wanted to do it, I would do it at 4 a.m., just when he is sound asleep and unprepared. I'd rush in, give him a mighty piece of my mind, and send him packing to A&E.

Now instead, I have lodged a mighty big complaint with my Dai Kor. And told my Boss that die-die he must do something. As drastic as possible, please. I cannot stand to see people bullied, whether that person were my gf or not. I believe bullies should get what they deserve. As in, honestly. Anyone who has been bullied before knows how damaging it is for the one who's bullied to live with the idea that the offender gets away scot-free, and everyone blaming the victim, for being the victim. $#@#@$^%$##$&^#!!!!

We're documenting this down. At least I will be. If it happens again, it shall be a police case. It's better that way than if I were to make it a personal vendetta.

R'ship with God getting back on track....

YEA!

And looking forward to this Sun's BBQ ^^.

Sun 6 Aug 1.30 p.m.! Soccer, Passion of Christ, and BBQ. Woohooo. Hope my guit and tuition students can go.... Also, very happy that Nick and Dennis are taking such a forward role in organising this BBQ. Good job guys!! :D

Faith
I can move the mountains
I can do all things through Christ...
I know. =)

Mmmm.

I wish I could be all I am and more.

To fulfil my destiny in God, to see Him glorified. To be rid of my pesky sins which separate me from Him. To reflect His glory.

I believe. I believe in His promises: that because of Him, I will see myself transformed, conformed into the image of Christ. Like Abraham, who knew the facts and yet believed, I also know my facts. But I believe.

I believe that there will be a next revival in my life.

Son of Man, can these bones live?

God, only you know.

Steadiness

The idea is to be STEADY.
