This morning while I was preparing myself to work, I thought of what to eat for breakfast.
Keep thinking and thinking. The options are limited to me. Nothing excite me.
I was thinking of something that can satisfy me. With great taste, enjoyable moments & etc...
None fit in the list.
I've been not feeling satisfied for few days.
I ate a lot. Finish this, not satisfy.
While walking, all my mind was what's next? what to fill my desire, what can satisfy my taste bud?
Come back to the breakfast idea, i realize that what daniel told me is true.
He said he actually don't mind what he's eating, but the person he has the meal with is important.
Food is just to fill our tummy so that we'll not feel hungry.
God rebuke me while I'm thinking about all these.
How can you find perfection in this imperfect world?
It's just lead you to endless desire that can never be fulfill.
Do you need to eat some much? Do you need to waste so much money? What do you get from these?
Satisfied?
No. I'm not satisfy. That's why this morning i think about the same thing. What to eat so that i feel satisfy...?
"Learn to give thanks my lovely daughter", God said.
"You are blessed. Not lacking of any supply, even have options to choose from. And you are not satisfied?!"
Think about those who have no food supply. They eat sand, roots, rubbish. They beg for food... And yet you, so blessed and not satisfied?!
I repent.
I should learn to give thanks. Only through thanks giving, you'll feel satisfied.
You see what you have instead of what you do not have. And sometimes it's good if you don't have them.
By grace, God leads me to the ultimate satisfaction. I'm now contained. Hallelujah!
Glory to the Lord
Without a thanks giving heart,
"No wonder sometimes rich people keep feeling poor while poor people can feel rich inside"

According to their kinds
I'm very very blessed.
Firstly, I thank God for using bro Hon Vui as a encouragement to bring me to the camp.
Secondly, I thank God that even though I'm a little halfhearted towards the role I play in the game committee, He did not blame me but taught me a lesson. I was feeling very impressed and touched by the brothers & sisters who put all their hearts into making this camp possible. There're so much to do to mobilize people. From the registration, activity planning, coordination and arrangements, meetings and many sleepless night of hard work. These are not the toughest things. The toughest one for me, is, being steady & calm all the time. There can be complains, disagreement, doubts & stress accumulated since the beginning of the project. It's easier to respond by blaming people not appreciating the efforts from the team than to accommodate.
How can a team of people tolerating, being understanding, submissive, cooperating in situation where everyone seems to have a better solution to suggest at the very moment when your 6 months plan are challenged/questioned?
I'm impressed by how everyone in the team cares about the plan, the core of the activity and even being supportive to the leadership. These supports are not purely agreeing what the leader said & ignoring the situation faced. These supports are from their heart trying to suggest the best solution. Helping the team to stay in focus, come out with a better solution on the very situation.
I really believe that this is a camp from God. God is using everyone of us, as camper, camp committee, supporting members and new friends... and etc. God is using us to make the camp.
I remember the devotion few days before the camp, the Lord spoke to me about the body of Christ (the Church). 1 Corinthians 12:14-26
Everyone of us in the camp is important. The planning, the committee are important. The transport arrangement, the food arrangement, the schedule planner, the worship team, the preacher, the camp members (with different characteristic & background, from different language speaking culture, different stage of life, different age group, different interest... and etc.) Yet they come together, making the camp lively. Full of variety & joy. I guess this is why God created the earth with all living things to be "according to their kinds".
"One man show" is not hard. But team work is difficult. With different strength and uniqueness, the chair person has to be able to identify the best of each character and use them mightily to the benefits of others instead of "mine". Not according to a narrow view of "my way", but seeing a bigger picture of composing the "our way" or better to say, "God's way".
God long to see us joyfully recognizing the "yet to revealed superpower" in us. No one is rejected or condemned of being not able. Instead, everyone is needed, entrusted to work as a team to perform their best, staying focus, humble & respecting others, seeing others higher than ourselves.
This fellowship that share joy and love in God just make me so satisfied.
Words is too limited to describe the feeling.
Money can never buy these!

Courage to Success
It took me quite some time to come back for a post again.
Many things happened for His reason. God is good. I'll trust in all His reasons.
Let's start with a bible verse:
I praise God for all of His plans in my life.
Though I do not know them all, I can only link clues from what God has done in my life in the past 26 years to review some of the puzzle of my life.
I am not growing up rich. In fact my family financial situation has make me independent in some financial plan during my teenage time.
I start working as a part time sale girl on the age of 15 during year end school holiday.
I buy my own chinese new year clothes with this salary, or with little saving I have to get what I want in those time.
I have a humble background. So humble to a point that I choose to be moderate.
"Good things does not belongs to me. I can't afford them. I'm not good at those things." This mentality has haunt me for years. When I was studying my diploma, the financial situation in my family is so bad to a point I can spend RM10 for 1 week (including 3 meals a day). I couldn't pay my tuition fees for 2 semester. I am so hesitate to call home for pocket money when my dad delay bank-in the money to me. I'm overwhelm by the circumstances and surrender to it.
The negative thoughts has accumulated since teenage. This makes me not being able to accept good things in my life. I reject blessing. I choose to think that poor is not bad at all. I don't need to be rich to live good life. Being self pity, I just refuse to receive or accept any extra blessing that is not of my act. I think that I don't deserve good things. I can't handle them. It just don't fit me....... These thoughts is what I believe God has been trying to remove from my mind since few years back.
God uses books to speak to me. He makes me think about it, realize this mentality in me. He rebuked me and reminded me that I shouldn't be a little faith. I shouldn't measure His boundless love & power with my limited ability. Again & again He spoken. This term break, God even bring me training course that motivates me. He brought us good & inspiring speaker who can find positive things in all circumstances.
At first I am quite ego. I felt that the speaker is too "hard sale". It just look so fake. I am not really open enough to buy some of the ideas shared in the class. But God is good, He reminded me to pray for a teachable heart before I enter that classroom, yesterday & today.
Slowly, with more in depth sharing by the speaker, Jackson Ng, I start to see the power of believing in yourself. Being convinced in what you say & do, aim high & run after it. I'm really impressed by the way many "evangelist" talk. On the Easter concert presented by Raymond Looi, I see the same confident and assurance in his speech. What makes them believe it so strongly? Why am I not like them? Why am I not being able to act the same like them?
I start to have questions........
God is good. His answer is just a prayer away.
Tonight prayer meeting, we exercise "listening" to God in silence. While we quiet down ourselves, God speak to me.
I cried. deep down in me, I am assured by His good will in my life.
Why am I so worry? God has plans for me... and it's all for good.
I sink in it. think & think.......
Recalling a point mentioned in today's training, Jackson said, "it cost you a lot of failure to learn & be expert in the area.... I have with me many scars & bruises to make me who I am today...."
I think it's true.
They are not special. They are ordinary people. What makes them believe is that they had the experiences. They failed. They know what it's like when you go through the journey. They also pick up the skills along the way of failures. This make them fearless. For they already have nothing to lose. They had lose before. What they have is stronger courage to climb up in every new failure. They are courageous, brave, daring & confident not because of their believes. But because of the ability to climb up again after the fall.
Thank you Heavenly Father, for through this blog post You make me realize the answer that You've placed around me. Glory to You.
Amen.
Many things happened for His reason. God is good. I'll trust in all His reasons.
Let's start with a bible verse:

I'll rise up like the eagle
And as I waitI'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love
Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
I always think that soar like eagle is cool! Must be very strong, dominant, capable as how eagle's characteristics are. Just now when I sang the chorus again and again, I really bite the lyrics and digest it in my heart. And God review to me a new angle of seeing "soar like eagle". A deeper layer of how it's gonna be when we entrust our everything unto God's mighty hand.
"Eagles always flying high up in the sky with it's powerful & broad wings. Seeing everything from the top, the big picture, extremely keen eyesight.... " suddenly God makes me realize this.God promise us that when we are in need of help, we have not only hope that can change us from the weak one to the standing firm one God want us to be even greater. He want us to see things that happened around us clearly.
Romans 8:28See it with the eyes Jesus sees. Not focus on me, myself & I, but God's will in benefiting one another for the growth of His kingdom. He want us to see bigger picture, like google map that sees every connection, high up in the sky. How great it is to know our God has a better way of seeing things? And He count us in, wanting us to see what He sees when we have hope in the Lord. To be excited in His plan and trust in His promises :)
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.
Isaiah 40:31Have a blessed weekend.
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Joanne Said: "..."
I was so much comforted by a lovely sister in Christ. So dearly God speak to me the truth. Indeed i need to re-examine my intention and my heart when i serve in His kingdom.
*sis, hope you don't mind that i quote all your msg into my blog. Want it to be part of my journey in Christ.*
j o a n n e : : says:
I remember once a brother shared with me that God will not ask us of favors or return favors when we receiving the calling to serve, it us purely our love for God and the longing to spread the good news
God bless us irregardless of the amount of time we put in. He didn't set a minimum or maximum criteria but that doesnt mean we have the right to take for granted. but it also doesnt mean we have the right to expect good things or blessings in return.... even if something bad happens to u
despite all the things u have done in the name of the Lord, u mustn't think u that you're not doing right. Last 2 weeks, a christian family from muar met a fatal accident. 5 out of the 8 family members died. The wife and 2 children survive.
Reading that inspired me alot. Despite the sudden tragic things that happened, the wife didnt blame God or ask him why...
1 Corinthians 10:13
No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it.
Recently i always tell myself that when i struggle in life, that is when God is speaking to me... if i refuse to listen n follow my gut feeling or emotion, that is when the evil spirit is ruling me. we often read abt following His footsteps and to have the Godly virtues. But keep confusing it with the materialistic things in life... and think that that is the way of Gods blessing. God can take something away from us and still bless us, make us suffer and still bless us.
"We are being conditioned to meet Him and our time on earth is only temp while our spirit for Him is eternal..."
Amen for all the points mentioned above. Thank God :)

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
I've been very very dry this few months. Dry like a "raisin" i think. This "dryness" in me just makes me not performing. Not really moving forward.
Psalm 8:4-6
what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:
Matthew 6:26-27
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
I'm not sure whether this is common,but i really feel that sometimes i don't really understand about myself much. I can't identify the cause of me being emotionally down. I can't clearly define the source of worries that i had.
"I thought i've already uphold it to God last sunday."
Well, worries are very funny things in life. You can let it go for like few hours. The next day morning when you start to think about the unsolved things, it comes back so quickly and wake you up so effectively.
FAITH vs RESPONSIBLE
As a Christ follower, i've been experiencing the greatness of the Creator. I'm nobody and God tell me who I am. I have nothing and God review to me how much I have had. I can't see my future but God promised a good future to me. Sometimes I'll be afraid of being too dependent. Always ask from God but never work. We need to do our part to be responsible for what we want. But the more i plan the lesser i rely on God and i have lesser faith. I based on statistic and facts, my ability and qualification instead of who God is. *faint*
That's how people get stress i guess. Atleast that how i get stressed.
To distress, I go for my usual way.
Enter to the room deep inside my heart, being honest to myself, tracing back the small little things that burdened me (i get so used to the burdens until i did not discover that i have burdens on me). The stress i have is so overwhelm that I know i need God badly. I'm sooo dry like a raisin. I need the water of Life. The Word of Life that give me wisdom to carry on.
So i carry the small bible with me, thinking "the Word that God use to create the heaven and earth can surely show me my way ahead clearly".
God spoken. Again and again He speaks to me patiently whenever I'm in need. He never get frustrated. What a great father in heaven!
I feel nothing when i'm reading the Word (Bible). So i choose to worship God. I choose to praise Him even when I'm weak. I choose to see how Great God is instead of how little i am.
Psalm 8:4-6
what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:
Amen.
I used to have nothing in God. And not because of what i have done that God leads me this far and added to me so many things. It's because of His greatness that I have all this.
I am a so so student in class and God gave me chance to lead in my career. Give chance to advance my knowledge and skills. I do not need to be who i want to be. I don't need to be as talented as others to do what others can do. God has a purpose for me. He wants me to be who He want me to be, to do what He wants me to do. That no one else can do it.
"So do not feel that you are disable/unable/weak/low confident" God said to me.
You are perfectly who I want you to be. And you'll be more like who you will be day by day, year by year. I'll ready you. So do not look down on yourself or feel that you are nobody. Keep moving on. Do not let the worries and burdens stop you.
Matthew 6:26-27
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
So don't worry. I'm with you my dear daughter. *God's comfort*
Lastly, i'll end this post with a song. The lyrics that God spoken to me last sunday morning.
In Your presence That's where I am strong
In Your presence O Lord my God
In Your presence That's where I belong
Seeking Your face Touching Your grace
In the cleft of the Rock
In Your presence O God....

Crazy Little Thing called "L O V E"
Last Tuesday, I learned a new thing about the Grace of God.
It’s great and sufficient for me. And it comes with peace and joy.
This is how the story goes, I need go to KL in the early morning (10am is not too early actually :P ) But as a “Bandar Sunway” person, I’m not that familiar with KL. So, I’m happy when I know that I can go together with my colleague.
But just the day before, my colleague was sick. So I have to go KL alone. I wonder should I take cab alone to KL, or I should take bus to Kota Raya and then walk to Royale Bintang Hotel for the seminar. I don’t really like taxi because I will be alone in the taxi, feel so insecure. So the safest way for me is to take bus, then go the tough way, walk from Kota Raya to Royale Bintang Hotel.
Ok. Decided. But then… If you know me or my history. I always missed buses. Every time when I’m reaching the bus stop, I saw the bus left. So co-incidentally it happened all the time. *sad* And I afraid that I’ll be late for the seminar.
Monday
The day before the seminar, I decided to tell Daniel about my worries. It’s right to give my bf a chance to participate in things in my life. I believe he would like to share my burden and to be needed. I think guys are born with this “hero” gene :P. Then I told him all my concern. And he has a worry face because he knows he cannot fetch me to KL. From Klang to KL is a crazy journey especially during working hours in the morning, some more he has to reach office by 9.30am every morning.
Look at my 1.5inch high heel, he decided to buy me a pair of comfortable shoes so that I can walk comfortably, taking bus and walking to the hotel. That the best solution he thinks he can came out with. Though I’m tired to go to buy the shoes in such a rush I know that this is what he can offer. Then we got a RM50 shoes from NOSE. Nice one :)
After this, I solve my walking problem but not the “ON TIME” problem. So I reach home, quiet down myself, nothing I can plan. I decided to lift all my worries to God, the best thing I like, is to stay quietly in God, count my worries and name them one-by-one and uphold them to God. Because I know He can settle all things for me.
Tuesday
The seminar day. As usual, reach office at 9am, have my breakfast; prepare some name cards, paper and pens steadily. Walk out from the office around 9.10am the bus is just there waiting. I walk very fast over the bridge and just before the bus move I manage to step on it. Wow, it’s just “ON TIME”. And there’s a nice and clean bus, an empty seat just beside a lady. I have great peace and joy in me, full of secure because I know God has make everything in front of my journey right and good. I’m just being joyful and comfortably in my heart waiting to witness God’s promises. Feeling so blessed and so cared by God, deep in my heart, I’m shouting “I love you God, I love you!” Then I took out my small note book, write down all my thoughts I have in the Lord.
I start to mind map,”hmm, what makes me think that I love God? And how do I know that He loves me?...” Lots more questions that popping up in my mind makes me think.
Then I came out with this conclusion:
It’s great and sufficient for me. And it comes with peace and joy.

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
By faith, I trust the Lord for everything I need.

- Love is relational. It can’t work if it’s one way giving or one way receiving
- You need to give yourself a chance to be loved
- And give Him a chance to love you. (God)
- By telling your need/worries/problems, you can give the others a chance to show care to you.
- When the person shows his care on the area you are in need of care, you know it and you felt comforted.
- Then you both can experience Love. Because one is loved when he/she's cared and the other felt loved when he/she is needed and he/she can contribute to the one he/she cares.
