The Harvest Is Here

2010 is a good year. Why is it a good year? let me tell you one by one.

Firstly, it's the year the young adults group is formed. I still remember the young adults group was struggling to survive and we had poor attendance before we have Carmen and Kevin joining in. The fervidness of coming together was drowned with our busyness and was not kept up with anyone who desires the growth of this group. Ever since the joining of Carmen, Kevin, Pooi Seng and Anne, new members added into our number. We encourage one another with the Word of God and provide shelter to those who are in trouble. What touches my heart is the visitation they made to my family and Winson's dad. Give thanks to God for Sister Carmen and Brother Kevin that generously extending their love and care for us.  

Secondly, It's about God bringing in harvest to our hard work. I used to think that gospel can hardly reach human's heart up till this year that i see God's hand move in our small community. In year 2009, we have 5 new believers coming to this big family of Christ and this year, God increases our number to 9! Without great music and worship service, the people are just simply drawn by the beauty of the gospel. i just hope that you guys will keep these people in your prayer that they will continue to be disciple of Christ: Pooi See, Pui Kuan, Jack, Ben, Sin Man, Wai Kit, Sammi Yee, Siew Yee and Pooi Yee, Kar Hoe, Shen Wai, Xiao Yan, Xiao Wei and Brian.

God, You are so good!!!

What's UP? 2010 (camp site survey)

Hello there!I just wanna use my blog to publicize about the upcoming camp of GMC What's UP? 2010. I've taken some pictures of the place where we are going to have the camp. Since i'm the game master, the power of torturing people is in my hand. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Well, before showing you the pictures of Barre I.J. Centre (Camp site), i shall unfold the journey that i had with Winson in Cameron Highlands

First, we headed ourselves to T cafe because Weng Kin said that the scones there are highly recommended.

T Cafe is soon to be changed to the Lord's cafe

The scone is real good. So good that you can even eat it on its own. 

Special home made chicken pie. it's very rich in Indian spices.

Cheese~~

Let's learn up a bit of Cameron History. This post office was officiated by our first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman in year 1956

As we were walking to Barre I.J., we found these nice plants along the way.

Here we are at Barre I.J. Centre

Character Sharpener

Actually, it's been tough for the past few weeks due to work and happenings in family. I always feel like giving up because there's no way that i see myself improve in terms of my character. Memory is getting worse and worse by days. I always want to make things right but will somehow end up with mistakes and blunders. Absent-mind, selfishness and low self-esteem are always the struggles. Having a sound mind 24 7 seems to be a mission impossible. I hate all the weaknesses i have.

I really want to thank God for the topic which we discussed in cell meeting tonight. God reminds me that no one is perfect and perfectionists are always found unapproachable. It is true that when we expose our weaknesses and struggles to others, people tend to open up to us. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Jesus said: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." At first, i found it a bit absurd to be grateful for our weaknesses. I was thinking how could i be happy with the ugliness that i have. But God said these weaknesses will prevent myself from arrogance and other people may find healing in my wounds. 

I've read a story about a woman being raped in a shopping mall car park on the day before her wedding. She went through tremendous physical and mental struggles.Her marriage life with her husband was affected because of the trauma she went through. In the end, she forgave the one who raped her and gave him a Bible. Since then, she broke free from this bondage of hurts and pain. I'm pretty sure her life testimony has encouraged many women who suffer from sexual abuse. This is our God who makes the imperfect perfect. 

In the cell material, i like the part where it says 'GOD IS NEVER LIMITED BY OUR LIMITATIONS'. I hope i'll change my perspective of my own weaknesses so that others might find praise in God.

Mind Clutter

Feeling very sad right now. 

I wonder if Uncle Joseph will be well on my wedding day. 

God, Uncle Joseph needs you to overcome his fear and anxiety.

Fill him with Your peace and love.

Please don't leave him alone like an abandoned child.

Diluted Love

Hearing a lot of stories about young and old with love problem. I realise people nowadays make their decision so much based on emotions and feelings rather than rationality. Friends around will always advise you to try out a relationship before getting serious into it. I wonder how they determine the degree of effort to put in before they really know the relationship can last. People are getting confused about love and infatuation.

The meaning of love has become very diluted. The definition of love to them could mean 'you are so attractive and cute. I feel like i'm on cloud nine when you smile at me' or 'I love you as much as how much i love my pet'. When a boy confesses that he loves you, does he really love you? Love of this world could also be projected as a product. There's a cooling-off/trial period. When someone finds the relationship is not really working out, he/she tries another one in hope to get higher satisfaction. Eventually, distrust, disappointments and hurts are all that is left.

Why would someone still want to plunge their head into a relationship which they know it's regrettable and non-lasting? Why don't they trust Jesus Christ who is ever generous to bless you with someone better? Why do they still hold on to their wrong belief?

I really hope people take courtship very seriously. It is a platform to marriage that is intended for two individuals coming together to become the man or woman God wants us to be. It is such a wonderful thing that God uses your marriage for His purpose. Getting into a courtship because of your negative self-image; to escape an unhappy home; getting together on the rebound and fear of loneliness or independence will normally end your relationship with misery.

Think twice and don't let your emotions manipulate your actions.

I Hate Being Alone In The Office

Guess what, i'm blogging in the office!! is this what you call 'curi tulang'? anyway, i feel super annoyed by someone in the office. I don't really know why he talks so much. With his presence around, i feel very suffocating. I don't want to appear to be mean to him but he is super duper annoying. He makes me feel bad of not entertaining him. But i know if i give him an inch, he'll take a foot. Well, i have experimented on that. I've tried asking him one question and he could come out with five LONG sentences.

Today, in the office, i received a call asking for vacancy. Since Uncle Albert (HR manager cum administrative manager cum customer service executive. LOL...) is not around in the office, i have to take charge of jotting down his name and contact number. And this fellow came to me and said if i could transfer the call to him in which i did in the end. I really pity the guy who talked to him over the phone. You know what he did? He gave him a phone interview, asking him whether if he could do this, do that, climb this, climb that. To me, he's made working in Wincomm like a mission impossible. The phone interview went on for 15-20 minutes. Towards the end on of the conversation then only he asked for his name and qualifications. When i overheard that, i was totally speechless.

God, please teach me how to be more tolerant with this kind of people. I really couldn't stand him any longer. He makes me feel horribly bad because i did not do what You command me to do, accepting him merits and weaknesses.

Sigh....off for work now. See you guys.

Count your blessing Hymn

When upon life's billows You are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged Thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you What the Lord hath done.

Chorus:

Count your blessings Name them one by one.
Count your blessings See what God hath done.
Count your blessings Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings See what God hath done.

Verse 2

Are you ever burdened With a load of care,
Does the cross seem heavy You are called to bear.
Count your many blessings Every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing As the days go by.

Verse 3

When you look at others With their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised You His wealth untold.
Count your many blessings Money cannot buy,
Your reward in heaven Nor your home on high.

Verse 4

So amid the conflict Whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged God is over all.
Count your many blessings Angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you To your journey's end.
