I am really tired of staring at a computer 8-9 hours a day.
Thank God for the phone.
And thank God for exercise where you don't have to think at all.
Oh yes and jokes that come unexpectedly.

sometimes when you pray

"good" things end. just like that. my goodness. so fast and he deleted me from "friends" on facebook. gasp.

Deuteronomy 12:7

There, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the Lord your God has blessed you.

 1 Chronicles 16:10

Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

 Ecclesiastes 2:17

[ Toil Is Meaningless ] So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

 

seeing the good side in everything

reminders

sometimes i have to reach a point where i am really frustrated, down, scared, lost, depressed or whatever not-so-positive emotion before the Lord can and does speak to me or rather i can and WILL hear clearly.
He will always send reminders of how great He is and how He can use any means to speak to us, help us or that we are simply......not trusting Him enough. There is certain trust but it's not to the level we SHOULD trust Him.

And here You are again sending me reminders of how I should Trust You (#1), instead of relying on people or relying on my own strength. Was having a discussion with church group yesterday and realised there were two schools of thought.

One is, to do your best at everything so others know you're a "Christian". The other school of thought is to be humble in all we do, NOT thinking we're the best. I felt BOTH were wrong because it should not even be 1) Not thinking we're the best (because This is already a fact! who IS the best anyway?)
2) doing our best just to show people we're christian or good or whatever (why put on a show?)

But it should be a genuine and true.........Relying on God........for everything.

There is and will always be a reason to leave.

What makes you STAY?

- Things started are not completed...yet!
- I am in the middle of organizing a lot of things and planning is still ongoing
- Till you finish you cannot tell or know the result

surprise

i am still in surprise....hm....ooooh........

hope in fati...gue

at your lowest or darkest point, you will hear God speak to your heart. at least that works for me. but unfortunately, not when i am super exhausted....
dealing with many start ups now....i think i learn more from the failure stories or the difficulties of others stories or the desert experience stories and hardships than the success stories. it's true that the "Yes!" stories or Quick-success stories give us hope but really it's the whole struggle that makes us learn how to go on despite the, "I am tired" despite the "I am worried" despite the "I want change" despite the "This is bad". despite the "This looks hopeless".

the great

What started out as a really painful first half of day where i had to drag myself around the office because of pain (girls will be familiar with it)......And some silly comments on one of my previous blog entries.

Then again, this is a blog, i don't fib or lie here but its pretty much opinions and emotions etc....based on facts...sometimes. I miss that guy (just a bit) who said he has that "big thought" for me. not that i want him with me etc or just because he said that but of course other things.

Then stepping out of my comfort zone to block 22 and block 24 (one whole round) of near my office was really scary at first but i started out with the kids (childcare centre). it was easy......then eventually. the ice was broken (with myself) and i went all out with every single door (almost) that was open or even if closed i would ring the bell. and talk and ask. Seek and you will find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.

i realised we cannot base our decisions on the spur of the moment emotions......though emotions are strong driving forces in life, when they hold you back from doing what is right or the right thing.....the emotions could be wrong.
