Blogs

Blogs are really very interesting.

To some people it is the manifestation of their daily reflection. To some it is a portal in making a statement or declaring. To some they use it as an online store. To some they use it to discuss about the latest fads and fashion.

We all have a different perspective and viewpoint of how blogging should be. I personally think that it should be wordy and lengthy. Well that's just my perspective. However there must be quality in the postings. If not it will just be an empty vessel. And we all know that empty vessels make to most noise.

I personally like to do a good day's reflection. However a blog shouldn't be too personal and shouldn't deviate too much from what people know you as. If not, It will appears as though you have been living in a mask and no one ever knew the real you. Pastor Paul said something like this before. I just paraphrased it.

I like a good rest. Especially one of value and add value to other. Sometimes I think that I will be a greater writer than a pianst IF I PUT MY HEART IN IT. This would require some major event to happen.

Good night people.

Poems

Ok. I know this isn't the best but I had the inspiration to write these. Do leave a comment.

1.
My hope, my trust
My strength my shield
He who lifts me in my valleys
Have filled my heart with Joy

My morning He soothes
My storms He calms
He holds, He keeps
He gives He takes

Though 'round me are snares
Yet in His arms, a child I cradle

2.
What is spring without its beauty?
What are the geens without its lusture?
What is a man fervent in prayer?
Whom the Lord would not hear?

3.
How does the bird of the skies sing?
How does creatures of the deep swim?
A dime dropped surely you will pick
So shall the Lord, a sheep lost

4.
To each his own, the world preaches
To him who loves, a fool's reward
Of silver of gold, we speak not
A king's welcome, eternity

5,
Behold the beauty a rising sun
And yet the same a sunset sky
Artistry which shadows man's pride
Call forth the day and end the night

6.
To trip and fall this body may
An ardous road to us present
For the path to us, ordained
God's best in mind, destiny

7.
A defining moement in time for you
Exists only if you knew
Time and again you will miss
Fall back and know you're His

8.
Not a moment to despair!
Make haste as though a bumblebee!
Know the seasons and the time
For Alas! The king will come!

9.
What instrument would dare to boast?
Of its expressive range the most
None and none would stand compare
To the keys our hands so play

10.
A genius of mozart and so he was
A prodigy of Liszt so they say
Though their work comes to cease
Their lifes lives within their art

11.
A fast is nothing compared to a feast
When man revels and dines a beast
Tho great a feast may be
Fails, what a fast may get

12.
Music at its very best
is worship unto the Lord Most High
No greater instrument than this
The lips formed before our time

13
Thirst and hunger so you may
Eat and know that you'll be filled
Soon after a tire spare appears
And alas in regret our days we mourn

Thirst and hunger so you may
The word bread that water life
Thirst and hunger you still may
In Chirst your joy is full

Thirst and hunger so you may
A daniel's fast, on its way
To pray and seek the Lord His face
Thirst and hunger, falls away

14.
When man seek love a place wrong and time
Disaster surely knocks waiting
Pride puffes up a man
His arrogance, refuse to admit

Halt, be still to wait
For He ordained your path
Surely one will come your way
Indeed you know, she's the one

In waiting, preparation you will
The best you be, for your bride
Seek His face with all your heart
You the best He wants, your bride

Set your heart in being the best
Tho at times fall you will
Rise again from where you were!
Stand again, to be her best!

15.
West to east the sun rose today
Topsy-Turvy is my name
I listened, I heard, I spoke
My senses, my best enemy

16.
No greater alove a man, His life
For a friend, willingly laid down
Tis was my Lord
Upon that cross

ALAS!

I finally found my book that I thought never existed! ALAS!

writer

Ok this is how it will be from now on.

I will be a greater writer than a pianst.

Be blessed you who are reading this.

gambling

I don't really like gambling. In fact, i detest it. Sometimes you gamble more than money away. You gamble things that are precious to you away. Sometimes you lose things that matter to you the most.

I never had good experience with gambling. No that I gamble, but i never had a good perspective of it and most probably never will.

You win when you gamble. You take risk. Daring to take risk a trait of a successful man. Gambling shows how intellect you are. You calculate the odds of winning. You push your mind to its limit. The feeling of victory is incomparable when you hold the winning lottery ticket. You know the people will flock around you with your new found riches. You gamble, you take risks; you are bold, you are a man. You want to strike it rich with chances. You use this as an excuse for giving those around you a better life.

If this is your thought, then yes, I will have nothing to say towards you. You are indeed your own victor. You indeed hold the reins to your own life. You indeed are your own master.

However, somehow yet, God still calls for you.

Gambling won't destroy you fully. It will just only destroy those around you. Sure sure, you may disagree. I am not asking for you to be in unison with me. I'm just telling you that You have a hope.

Sometimes we laugh it off and think that laughter is the best medicine. Sure laughter is great. I like to laugh. But yet still, you can laugh all you want and the problem still remain.

I have gambled unknowingly with money once. And perhaps it's just me, but the feeling is terrible. Yeah, perhaps it's just me.

You don't need MORE money to be happy. You don't need MORE money to rejoice. You don't need MORE money to love.

I would love you just as you are. Still you have a hope. Still, you are hope to others. Still, Go calls you. Still, would you listen. Still, would you be still?

Be blessed, you who are reading this post.

Fireproof

Fireproof was really a great show. Just so happened to chance upon it on youtube. I seriously never expected myself to watch the whole thing. It lasted about 12o mins. So that's like 2 hours.

Ok. I just realised I spent 2 hours watching this show. I djd not realise time past this fast. The show was really meaningful. The husband demands "respect" from the wife and they don't understand each other and the marriage falls apart. The focus of the show was something like God healing the marriage. Something like that. But then again, there's other climax of the show.

There was this car stuck on the railway. The firemen had no communication with the train and it will crash onto the car in a matter on minutes. They decided to lift the car with bare strength and onlookers came to help. There was this rescuer who almost got hit by the oncoming train. He almost died. But the train missed him by an inch. After the whole drama, he sat down the grass and said something like "Thank you Lord."

Wow. Sometimes, we forget to be thankful. One leper came back to express his gratitude and was made whole. So yeah, Thanks people for the sabo. Thank VERY MUCH. THANKS VERY MUCH INDEED.

Anyway back to the show. This main character, caleb sorta realised his folly and wanted to salvage the marriage. At that point in time, the female character, Catherine had already set her mind on divorce and nothing could change her mind. The marriage was about to end in divorce.

Caleb's dad asked him to conduct a 40-day experiment, it's something called "the love dare". It something like you do something nice for your spouse everyday, something like that.

Caleb really tried being nice to Catherine but still she ignores him. Scars left by quarrels and arguments usually by loved ones, take a long time to heal. Words spoken cannot be retracted back.

Well, for the first 3 weeks, nothing happened. Catherine remained oblivious to Caleb's gestures. Oh ya, during this first 3 weeks, caleb was already frustrated that Catherine still remains cold towards him. He went to speak to his father.

He said something like "I have taken Catherine's insults and her sarcasm. I did everything thing I could to demonstrate I care for her, to show value for her, and yet she spat at my face. She does not deserve what i am doing for her. How am I suppose to show love to somebody over and over who constantly rejects me?"

At this point in time, the father simply pointed to a cross. Well you can what happened. Caleb accepted Jesus into his love. Many a times we feel the same way as how God feels. Well, perhaps the reason is because you are created in His image. Perhaps that is how God wants to speak to you.

Well anyway, Catherine found the "40 day book". So she asked Caleb, which day are you at now? "43" was his reply.
"But there only 40 days in this book".
Caleb's next reply was OWNAGE.

"who says I have to stop?" was Caleb's ownage reply.

That's right, we do have to follow a set of instructions to love. We love not because we have to, but because we want to. We love because we were first loved.

At this point of this, Catherine still refused to accept Caleb.

Caleb was planning to use 3/4 of his life savings on a boat. His boat. However in the end, caleb used this money to spend on Catherine's parents wheelchair and bed. Catherine was in tears when she found out. well you can guess the ending, they made up and exchanged their wedding vows again, this time with Christ being the foundation.

Caleb sacrificed his own ambitions for his wife's parents. Yes, when we love someone else, we love everything about them. We place them higher than ourselves. This perhaps means giving up on our ambitions. This could means sacrificing our lifelong dream.

Well, if one day I would have to sacrifice milking my cow in Australia for my spouse, I would do so gladly. Don't laugh! I really really want to milk my cow and this means something to me. :)

This is the same when loving Jesus. There's still so much that I need to know. You too, reader of this passage, there's so much about love that we still fail to comprehend. Perhaps we can never fully understand, but something called "Grace" exist.

Well you gotta watch the show to understand it. I'm not much of a good review writer. But well, tolerance is really important. Sometimes a simple show can really speaks much about value and touch your life. Especially shows with God in it.

Haven't been watching such great shows in quite a while. Well, this is one show I'll remember.



Anyway I think I'm going catch facing the giants tmrw. and i need to study for one final test. Good Game.

Be blessed, you who are reading this post.

death

When man is presented with death, he is faced with 2 options. To embrace it or to fear it. Man, usually fears death. Man, fears the unknown.
The great Qin emperor, however great he was, still feared death. For what I know, only 2 men didn't go through death, and one man deafeated death.
The mockery of death is that it simply means union for those who love Him and does His will. The sting is as though a bee losing its bottom half.

Death also means seperation. For many, it means eternal seperation from an everlasting God. It would mean damnation. The body is cursed when the first man sinned. However through the work of one man, it is made a new creation.

Fear death, and you fear life itself. For the ending of life is death itself. Interestingly, life and death co-exist. You are living, but you are dead inside; you are dead to you flesh, and yet you live. Comprehend this concept.

I have two hands. How many hands do you have?

Assuming that an average lifespan of a man is 75 years old, he would die after reaching that age. So?

Yeah, after death comes judgement. That's so. After death, it is done. kapoot.

Man does not fear death. Man fears what comes after death. The unknown always keeps people at bay. However there are alaways daring people aroound. "Man cheats death", the news article publish. Yeah, try cheating death. It simply means your time has not come yet.

I tell you the truth, that you who are reading this post, would surely die physically. Your body will rot, corrode, or burned. Either way, this body of yours would perish.

Here's the scary part. The spirit does not perish. Life does not end after that.

One day, when God asks, "Why should I let you into my Kingdom?"

Many people would reply because they are a good person, done many good deeds, donated their wealth, helped the poor and elderly. That's all good answers, but it's not enough. I wish they were, but they're not good enough.

So doing what would be good enough? nothing would be good enough. I tell you now, that your own strength would fail you.

This would be my reply. "My strength and wisdom fail me. However, I stand because I have an advocator,who instead of juding me, bore my sins at the cross. He became my ransom. He took my iniquity upon his own shoulder, he bore my shame. Because of His blood, I now stand free in Your presence. I stand, because of the price Your Son paid. Because Jesus is, I can be I stand, because Your Son died and paid my ransom.."

Well, be blessed, you are reading this post.

good

Okay, something good happened today. I donno whether it can be considered good to you people because it's most probably something routine to you. But well, I still think it's something good. And well, I'm glad.

And well, happy national day.

And well, my gum ache.

And well, good night. :)

cow

One of my dreams is to milk a cow in Australia. To some people it may seem foolish or insignificant. Of course it is! It's really pathetic if one's dream is just to milk a cow.
However it's different for me. I'm looking at the process not the final product. I'm looking at what I will be going through to milk my cow in Australia. Sometimes it's the process that adds the most value to a product.
Milking a cow speaks of my financial success. To milk a cow in Australia is not that easy for me. To reach this stage, it would meant that I would have already succeeded by my own standards and requirements. It would speak of independence, self-reliance, stability, status, wealth.

And of course, all these would crumple and fall one day.

That's why milking a cow is only one of my dreams. I cannot be sustained by these things alone. At the end of the day, I would need dependence, I cannot rely on my own strength, status would be ousted and wealth would diminish. This would mean that I would need to rely on a greater power. A power so great that even in death, it remains victorious.

I was reading vivien's blog and she quoted Isaiah 60:19-20.
It goes something like "the sun and moon will no longer be your light, because the Lord will be your light forever." That inspires me. Try holding light and it slips right through you. Light has no weight but yet it warms.

Anyway I still want to milk a cow in Australia. Not just because of the process, but because I REALLY REALLY want to do it. Serious. :)

Be blessed, you who are reading this post.

Prevailing

Ok. Here's the weirdest thing. Although I went to changi to sorta celebrate my birthday today, I felt as though I had already celebrated it. I know it's really weird. And this is not because People had sabotaged me with soy sauce and other disgusting stuffs. I just felt that this year is different.
I had celebrated it unknowingly.

Alright, I need sleep. And anyway, heard that subway is going to open at white sands. FINALLY. The bossini shop is going away. Never really bought anything from that shop before.

Anyway, I think that I'm creative. Sometimes yeah.

Good night people.

Anyway

Anyway, though you most probably won't ever see this, however still, blessed 19th birthday to you too, Joanna.

stalker

Well I realised that I got this stalker on my blog. Hi stalker! HAHAHA! you know I'm talking about you when you see this! Thanks for the card. Appreciate it.

Well since there is a stalker on my blog, my posts gotta be more encouraging. I had my birthday today. And well. I got a simple ojective and I think I met it. So yeah. It's a good birthday still. :)

Well then. All the best for my test tmrw. Heard of good game? Well. This is good game. GG.

Anyway, yeah. Thank you.

Be blessed, you who are reading this post.

Death

Ok. I'm still in shock now. Someone I know just died this morning. I still can't believe it. This was a guy that was in the same class as me. And now he's dead. WHAT ON EARTH?!?!?

I was staring at the coffin just now. He's lying inside and I'm standing out here. And to think a while back I still saw him at the bus stop. I was looking at the coffin and his photo, I almost cried. This was a good guy. but yet he was the first one to die in my secondary class. Death comes unexpectedly.

Death. A simple 5 letter words which many are afraid of. At the same time, it's a simple 5 letter word which many are ready to embrace for a cause. Death makes problem seems so small. However its project this effect to your loved ones.

Death has lost its sting to those who love and obey His commandants. Death shouldn't be something we fear. oh man.

I'm still feeling the after effect after looking at the coffin. Sorrow grips my heart. He does not know Jesus. And I knew him for like 2 years???

A greater cause will cause your problem to appear so tiny. If only you would look far beyond yourself, you would see a far greater cause. One which death holds no sting and sin has no victory.

Will we be prepared when death comes knocking? Would we be prepared when we meet our maker? Will we be prepared when we meet Jesus?
