And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Roman 8:28
God is good. (: In good times and bad times.
God blessed me money when He knows i need it and first i gave my all to His Kingdom! (: It's really beyond my imagination!! I feel special. really~~ is as if, His eyes are just on me.
God allowed me to go through situation that is close to my heart and whisper to me that He wants me to walk even closer. (:
He is just AWESOME! I want to allow these truth to sink in even more...
It is not in good times that i praise and seek Him but is through the difficult times that i praise and seek Him as well!! I will grow to be more like Christ!

- Without Vision, Man Perish

Without Vision, Man perish!Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
but blessed is he who keeps the law.
This truth strikes my heart as i prayed for people around me.
I have seen many stray away from the truth or straying away without knowing, I am burdened.
A life without a goal is like the captain of a ship without a map and a compass. His ship will just drift aimlessly from day to day hoping to arrive somewhere. The apostle Paul set for himself a goal! He pressed forward in search for his goal — he pressed toward the mark of the high calling in Messiah! He had a clear direction of where he was going and he was focused on the Lord! How much more should we!By setting a goal, we are making a decision to act. We are providing ourselves a map and depending on the Lord to be our compass — to provide the direction He wants us to go! A goal is more than a dream — it’s a dream acted upon. It’s not saying “oh, I wish I could” — it’s declaring what we want to do for the Lord– it’s a declaration of faith!
Ask God for a vision! He is a faithful God. (:
He has not created us to cruise, but to soar!
There are so many areas i need to improve and grow. By Your grace, it shall be done!
So that all glory belongs to YOU. I seek to glorify your name.
- Small faith and little Faith

something i have been pondering about...
What is the difference between SMALL Faith and LITTLE Faith?
Jesus said If you have faith as SMALL as a mustard seed, you can move mountains.
VS
Jesus rebuked His disciples saying you of LITTLE faith.
Definition of SMALL: minor in influence, little in size, of little influence.
Definition of LITTLE: Not big, small in size or content, not as much, small in importance of interest.
It seems small = little in definition.
But in the bible there seems to be a difference.
Small = no doubts?
Little = doubts?
Or is Jesus just playing with words? haha.
Anyone has relevation?
- Price Tag

One night, a group of thieves broke into a jewelry store. But rather than stealing anything, they simply switched all the price tags.
The next day no one could tell what was valuable and what was cheap.
The expensive jewels had suddenly become cheap, and the costume jewelry, which had been virtually worthless before, was suddenly of great value.
Customers who thought they were purchasing valuable gems were getting fakes. Those who couldn’t afford the higher priced items were leaving the store with treasures.
In our world someone came in and switched all the price tags. It’s hard to tell what is of value and what is not. Great value is given to the accumulation of material wealth and the power that goes with it. The world puts a high price on popularity, prestige, beauty, and fame.
Do not be deceived by the worldly price tag. What matter the most is the kingdom of God.
I want to value righteousness more than success.
I want to value character more than beauty/popularity.
I want to value serving God more than comfort.
I want to have Kingdom mentality.
We have to choose now before we come to a cross road.
orelse latter will be chose.
- A Spirit Controlled Woman!

Reading a book about how to be a spirit controlled woman.
Many times we take our personalities as an excuse for our lack of control over my spirit.
I love this illustration. How do you take out the air in a cup?
Suck the air out? no~ we just have to fill the cup with water!
Likewise, how do we get rid of the sin in our life? We filled our life with the Holy Spirit!
When you allow the Holy Spirit to come into your life, He will guide you in every step of your life.
I thought of one woman in my life that is spirit controlled! I love her spirit..
LESTARI MASPOLIM.
Last Tue, we were having dmm and she only manage to sleep 3 hrs for the past 2days! (due to projects)
Instead of choosing to give herself excuse to rest at home and skip dmm, she came without a single complain~ Not just that, She gave her full attention, her joy is contacious and her 'i can do it' spirit is admirable! Before dmm, she had some time to spare to rest but she took the time and opportunity to spend time with her sheep! wow what a spirit controlled woman. (:
We ought to learn this attitude and to be selfless! She allowed tthe Holy Spirit to be her guide and she has impact me ALOT.
THANKS MASPO for your serving attitude. I really believe God will not short changed you! JIAYOU.

Lift our burden, fix the windows!
I want!
By Fixing windows, society will be changed~
Professional crime officers were hired to help reduce crime rates in subways in America.
What do you think the officers did?
Hire more police to petrol the subway? Raise the punishments? Increase the number of jails? NO!
The Officers cleaned the graffiti in the subways!
The reason is because griffiti in the subways tell a message to those offenders that noone cares about the society! By just cleaning the graffiti, it reduces the crime rates in the subway!
In the bible it says, If you have faith as SMALL as a mustard seed.. You can move mountains!
In the bible it says, Do you not know that a LITTLE yeast works through the whole dough?
It's not doing the BIG things that change, is taking small significant steps.
God can cause BIG change with a little spark! When we take our little steps, God will take the rest of the steps!
Do you have a mustard seed faith?

A teacher tells her young students, "Class, I'm going down the hall to the school office for a few minutes. I don't expect to be away long. I'm sure there won't be any trouble. I'm trusting you to work on your assignments while I'm gone."
Fifteen minutes pass, then 20, then 40. Suddenly the teacher returns. Dennis has just thrown an eraser at Carol, who is doing her math. Steven is standing on the teacher's desk making faces. The students carrying out the teacher's instructions are delighted at the teacher's return, but Dennis and Steven wish she hadn't come back at all.
Jesus is coming back! That stands as both a warning and a promise throughout the New Testament, as in today's reading from Luke 12. It's good news or bad, depending on who hears it.
In church we sing songs like "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus." When we partake of the Lord's Supper, we "proclaim the Lord's death till He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:26). On Sunday morning, the second coming of Christ sounds like great news. But during the rest of the week, are we as ready for His return?
Jesus is coming back! It may be soon. It will be sudden. Is that good news or bad? It's up to you.
This is such a good illustration of whether are we ready for Jesus' return.
Are you ready?
I am.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The last day of 2009 was spent at kalyne's house!
Celebrated her birthday and countdown together~~
Thank God for breakthroughs in 2009!
Thinking about my new year resolution and i only settled on one!
I want to learn to be discipline. (:
Discipline sets apart success and failure, disciple and follower.
Discipline comes from the word Disciple.
I desire to be His disciple not just a follower.
Discipline in my lifestyle, my thoughts and in my emotions.
God wants to bless more, sometimes it's me who is the only hindrance.
I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
—1 Corinthians 9:27
random. but i dun want to be a control freak. Let go and Let God.
- It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Engit breaking fast together! WOO~~
It's beeen a month that we fast from meat. It has been fruitful and God bonded us more together.

One guy rededicated~ Praise God!!! We shall see MORE harvest pouring in....
