Though these are the days of great trial
of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying "Prepare ye the way of the Lord!!"

Love is the key

Do you know that it's easy to love those who are lovely? As long as everyone with whom we are in contact is nice, pleasant, easy-going, and kind, we learn nothing about love. These people are easy to love. But as soon as you pray for love--say the words, "God, teach me how to love"--someone will come into your life who is nasty, bitter, cranky, difficult, harsh, mean-spirited; because when you can learn to love that person, then you will have learned something about love.

We tend to always misuse the words "I love you." Love is not just feelings.. It is a decision.. a continuous effort to show good to someone even when there is nothing in return. It is selfless, sacrificial and transformational.. It is easy to say those words "I love you." but it is not easy to live it out. I'm learning.. I know I can love because He first loved me. My source of love comes from God because God is love. People can deny religious activities..but they can't deny love.

Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—
and the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13

You are Good

It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, even though God had told him, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted.” Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead.

Hebrews 11:17-19

I think God is testing my faith now. How much do I trust in Him? in His Word? In His promises.. I know I don't have such faith like Abraham had. I mean, he was ready to give up his one and only Son.. I don't think it was easy for him to take that step.. to sacrifice someone whom he loved so much.. but he obeyed God because he knew God is good. He knew God is in control. He knew God has the power to work even in hopeless, dead situations. He knew the God whom he worshiped. He is Yahweh-Yireh, a God who provides.
Will I trust God with the lives that are so precious to me?
Will I surrender to Him and say, "Have Your way, Lord" ?

Father, I want to have such faith..faith to believe that You can do the impossible.. and that You are Good.

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You.

I just came back from Leaders' Training Retreat for PKA. I am so blessed! man, I went there without expecting to receive anything because I thought this time I will just be there to help out and do what I'm suppose to do for my subcomm.. presentation, bla bla.. but I have received so muchhh! A big thank you to Annette and Darshini who came to bless us! :) Especially Annette..her schedule is very packed but yet she made time for us.. She considers this as a privilege, so humble :) (I will post an entry on that soon when I get the pics :D)

I'm now planning dance steps for tomorrow's service. It's my first time dancing solo. Kinda scary but I just want to please God and worship Him with all that I am..all that I have. I'm not good at dancing.. really. Sometimes I wonder why am I in this ministry.. but in my weakness, I'm drawn closer to Him :) So yeah, God, help me to minister to You and allow You to minister through me! I loveeeee You, Pa! :)

In Him, I live, I move and have my being!

"Doa kita mesti menjadi tindakan jika kita ingin perubahan menjadi kenyataan. Tuhan tidak mencari orang lain untuk melakukan perubahan itu. Dia melihat pada apa yang kita rela serahkan untuk membawa perbezaan dan Dia akan melakukan yang lain."

It's good to be back!

Back to school!!! Back to USM! :) It's good to be back! After 4 months of loooooong break, I'm excited for what God has in store for this sem :) It will be great because He is a great God!
His promises are Yes and Amen! Well, challenges are real..I'm feeling it right now even during this first week of semester. I'm learning to hold on to His promises, learning to allow God to work in me and through me..

Attended a class this morning, Principles of Finance. The lecturer is..quite funny. And when he wanted to introduce himself, he said this jokingly, "Actually I'm not that important right? What's most important for you is your grade." It hit me. It hit me because sometimes this happen to me when I'm overwhelmed with assignments and studies..

Father, I want to always focus on things that matter for eternity. Help me Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Is Jesus the Son of God?

L6A4 and U6A4

They made F6 life so bearable!!! :) :)
Not just bearable la, enjoyable too :)
Looking back at how I went through F6 with this bunch of crazy people, I'm reminded about God's faithfulness in my life. It was during F6 that I found God..or should I say God found me? :) I remember very clearly that I prayed to Jesus and told him my struggles. It was quite hard for me because most of them speak in mandarin..and my mandarin is a bit cacat. I prayed that He will send me friends.And God answered my prayers :)

They are my answered prayers :)

Mr.Tan!! He is very nice.. sometimes strict.. always kena 'bully' by us.. :p cuz we always didn't pass up our homework and make noise in class hahaa But deep inside, I know he sayang us very much :)

Their lives are precious to me

use your brain, but don't forget..to also use your heart

Is it history or his-story? - article by Zairil Khir Johari (The Malaysian Insider)

"After spending my entire schooling years in the Malaysian national education system, and after having earned a Bachelor’s degree in a Malaysian university, I was faced with a grossly unfamiliar situation. For the first time, I was asked for an opinion rather than have one written down on the whiteboard for me to copy."

"My mind had been liberated. From that day on, everything I read or learnt would be tempered with a critical assessment of the source. I began to yearn for alternative interpretations in my hunger for choice. The world was a buffet and I had been fasting for years."

"The key to opening our minds is to first remove our blinders. Thus, whenever presented with history that appears to be his-story, it is probably best that we ask ourselves: exactly whose story is this?"


When I read this, I can somehow relate to certain parts of the article.. I'm brought up in such a way that my opinions about things do not really matter as long as I get an 'A' for the subject. Mum always says this, "If you get poor results, you will not have a good job." (I agree to this only to certain extend..now that I can think better :p) For about 19 years, I follow blindly what my teachers had taught me.. I received, and I accepted them as truth.. I don't care, I just want to get A.

And being trained in such a way that I just need to copy what's written on the whiteboard, I've learnt to be spoon-fed..(okay, maybe it's just ME) I've learnt to wait for answers.. to be lazy...to accept things as they are without questioning the source. I've learnt not to use my brain.. to think. What have I learnt??? GAHHHH.
Is this what education is all about? man, I need to unlearn and relearn the right things.

The other day I was sharing with my friend.. I said, " I think USM somehow forces me to use my brain.. because I'm surrounded by people who will question me about things..especially now that I begin to take up leadership role in my CF. In a way, it helps me to think.." And she said this, "Don't forget to also use your heart." I couldn't agree more. Knowledge is good. It's important. I'm for it. But don't let the knowledge that you have hinder you from using your heart.

I'm reading the Book of Corinthians for my devotion.. have been doing that for the past weeks.. and just so ngam after she shared with me, I was on chapter 8 and this verse just stood out :)


But while knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the church. Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much. But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.
1 Corinthians 8:1-2

"The challenges in our lives are there to STRENGTHEN our CONVICTIONS. They are NOT there to run us over."
