Last fri was my last day of work ahah I had fun working with the people there.. what a bunge of great people =D
So today is the frist day of my "long holiday". After that period of being an 'admin asistant', I've learnt to appreciate(as in really) the free time given to me now. So this definitely is the start of a journey to a more fruitful lifestyle haha.
Went to meet Jason, Mr Wee long, Jimmy, Qimin, jy, Kian loong and Sebas for dinner at Pepperlunch just now. Well it's my first time eating the food and it wasn't bad at all just that it still wasn't enough for me leh hmm so sebas shared with me some of his rice heh heh! Sometimes I fantasize being born a rice cooker.. always filled with rice then can kapo while the owner's not watching.. but wait.. rice cooker able to eat and taste meh??! aiya.. being a human is the best of all best la lol praise the Lord! Yep these crazy thoughts really are crazy huh.. okok skip skip.
So we had a great time fellowshipping.. got really crazy and mad and loud and funny and stuff wahaha I love it! I htink we're a bunge of people who really knows how to "make FUN". COowwwoOL!
Anyway I'm just really glad really. Glad that we met up and stuff haha =)
Then we went home lol And on our way home hmm well.. So much for trying to get everything figured out as of our very human nature.. I made a commitment to not let anything of the past/future get in the way of living a fruitful and meaningful life everyday. What does your forever turthful heart tells you about happiness? I believe the visions and dreams planted in our hearts will manifest/come to pass.. what about you? Please dont lose that hope, follow your heart, dont ever deny it. Move on forward consistently, dont ever look back for our destiny's calling out to us from ahead. _________________________________________________________________
Wow.. 2 days of Joyce Meyer was very very impactful and fruitful as well! An anointed preacher indeed as she's able to articulate her understanding of the doctrines very well making it easy to grasp and digest for the congregation. Her testimony was a super heart-opener too.
One of the main highlights of all I think was during the first service where she placed a rocking chair on the platform next to herself. Very intriguing huh.. and that was her intention - to get the message she's about to share (with the help of the chair) into the back of our heads in a more visual manner.
So here goes the message: Christianity is not what we can do for God so we can get His blessings, but by the grace of God that we ARE blessed, that we ARE free to receive His blessings. God loves us not because of anything else but His desire to, and none of us can do anything to change it.
God has called us His children the very day we receive His salvation, and He already has intended a great great plan for each one of us.
But there are alot of Christians still yet to know who they really are in Christ. And it's because of this that they will never manifest what God intends them to be (their call & purpose in life).
Instead of believing we are made righteous, prosperous in life, and accepted by God through Christ as said by God Himself, people tend to try to be righteous, seek mercy, etc
Here you are sitting on the rocking chair.. in the arms of God knowing who you really are in His eyes.. resting peacefully in His promises and presence.. whoaaahhh...shiok (and this is the kinda life Jesus died to give us) But alot of christian, who are children of God, who are already in the chair, are still trying hard to the extend of struggling to get IN the chair. That's because instead of believing what God says about them.. they choose to believe the lies of the devil instead. I admit I find this hard to cope and was like this until this sermon hit me so hard.
So the message was made clear, Stop getting in the chair when you're already sitting on it! haha and all it takes for you to successfully live a lifestyle of peace, contentment and hapiness is just to BELIEVE. (faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God.)It's when we believe through the Word of God that we can truly live a victorious life.
Wa! I have to meditate on this sermon very often leh I think for me I go read my Bible le!! BB!! =D
Watched 'Secret' with TM and Tang on Mon (pardon the belated post =(). I like it and thought it wasn't as bad at all man, jay is jay lor then girl not bad looking LOL haha story's not very original but pretty exciting and impressively composed.. and cg's not bad at all really.. yep there's cg, go check it out ;) I've never seen any of its posters or sypnosis before that but remember being told by someone it's about t_ _e t_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _g (lol.. dont wanna be flamed a spoiler =X).
So when we met up, TM told me it's a love story.. then I abit sian la upon hearing that as I was expecting sth loud and action and zai and power and you know la, sth like Bourne Ultimatum!! But then Bishan J8 only screening 4 movies.. yea.. only 4 man -.-
But I still like it.. wa love story ar.. I like!!
Oh yea.. and it's my favourite Jay Chou! TM said he(I know you know it's refering to Jay lol but anyhow..) directed the movie woohoo!! He's really talented man! he's got fairly good acting skills I think.. thought he did a good job =)
Anyway! hey hey.. do you know that Jay is a borned again christian? how cool's that??!! it's just great isn't it? Go Jay! Shine for Him like never before go gO GO!!
lol.. (after reading) im like the nicest guy now huh (love these tests lol) .. well there're much more versions of these 'nice guys' descriptions.. wait till you read the others.. go see how yours would turn out.
Have ya'll noticed the advent of these personlity tests.. sometimes it sounds lame to you.. but you just wanna take sometime to do it.. perhaps we have this urge to wanna know who we really are. We all have asked one same question before somewhere in our lives: "Who am I?!!" Well i know.. you're like.. "huh weird.. i doubt so.." trust me you have.. yes you do
God has planted in us a desire to live.. and also to live A life of meaning and purpose. What could be greater than living a purposeful, hopeful life?
Okok maybe not "who am I?" as you are not the Jacky Chan type or just thinking of him turns you off whatever.. How bout "What am i to do here?(on earth)", many of us know we ALL deserve to live a good life despite our current circumstances might ask "what do i have in me that could bring forth change" We can all come out with various versions of such at some point Most probably these questions have been hanging around your mind for sometime in the past and has faded away.. now do they sound familiar to you? think again..
I believe all of us are meant for greatness.. all of us have a significant part to play in this ever-changing world, yes ALL and that includes you buddy. I believe all of us can live a life, also the life that we say we want to have.. Don't give up if you are the one who's on the verge to.. stay hopeful because the truth is that there's HOPE.. always there's still.. for He loves you and He's faithful. Some might not know Jesus yet but He loves you and He's forever faithful.
The real you inside is gonna do much much greater things in the future.. things that surpasses all of your current understanding and expectations.. Dont lose hope! Don't limit God.. stay faithful for He is faithful..
Looking at your problems you might think you have shrinked so much.. but in His eyes he only sees the final master piece - the real you, who's able to overcome, who's able to pick him/herself up in such circumstances and who's willing to let Him help and who's also willing to lift up his/her sight from the problems and see His goodness and blessings ahead.
