Are you thirsty?

1 Is anyone thirsty?
Come and drink—
even if you have no money!
Come, take your choice of wine or milk—
it’s all free!

2 Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength?
Why pay for food that does you no good?
Listen to me, and you will eat what is good.
You will enjoy the finest food.

3 “Come to me with your ears wide open.
Listen, and you will find life.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you.
I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.

4 See how I used him to display my power among the peoples.
I made him a leader among the nations.

5 You also will command nations you do not know,
and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey,
because I, the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.”

6 Seek the Lord while you can find him.
Call on him now while he is near.

7 Let the wicked change their ways
and banish the very thought of doing wrong.
Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.
Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.

8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

10 “The rain and snow come down from the heavens
and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry.

11 It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it.

12 You will live in joy and peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song,
and the trees of the field will clap their hands!

13 Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.
Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.
These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name;
they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”

~isaiah 55: 1-13~

Beautifully imperfect

I love this short film made by Yasmin Ahmad, commissioned by the government of Singapore; a eulogy given by a woman at her husband's funeral.



"In the end, it is these small things that you remember, little imperfections that make them perfect for you. So, to my beautiful children, I hope one day you too will find life partners who are as beautifully imperfect as your father was to me."

As the advertisement came to close, I just sat stunned in my chair. In just three minutes, this ad summed up relationships beautifully; that it is the beautiful imperfections that make a relationship perfect.

So often in life, we look for perfection in people, and in relationships either consciously or unconsciously.

At an individual level, we have all these criteria of a partner we want. We evaluate people of the opposite gender based on adjectives we have formed in our mind. When in a relationship, it is so easy to find faults and be annoyed by habits of one's partner. We try to change them. We simply tend to forget that imperfections make a person perfect.

When working/living with people, little habits they have annoy us. When people don't do things right, we are irritated. We complain. We label them incompetent. We choose not to give people who are 'untalented' things to do.

When we find mistakes people do, we judge. More often than not, we criticize. We hang out with people who come closest to our definition of perfect. We leave out or leave behind people who are different to ourselves...maybe people who are unkempt, people who speak differently, people who are 'difficult' to handle.

The same thing happens in families. Perhaps because we have no inhibitions among our family members, we don't think twice before expressing our annoyance. We complain, we demand, we cajole them into doing things our way.

Thing is, no one is perfect. No one can be because we are all different. Beauty is perfection in diversity. God created us all individually to be different.

This is how God sees us. We are not perfect but we are beautiful in His sight. Our imperfections make us perfect. How can we then assume God's position and judge or choose people? What right do we have?

Let us see with God's eyes, and feel with His heart.

Little imperfections make people perfect. People are beautifully imperfect.

God teaching me a lesson or two

A few hours ago, I was driving a group of friend when I missed a turn and ended up in another street. Thing was, I was so sure where I was going. I never expected to take a wrong turn. Either that, or it was because my mind was so preoccupied with thoughts. It was then that I first felt God asking me to go to Him.

Somewhere along the way this past few days, I knew I was beginning to break. I began to feel the weight I was carrying. I began to feel weak as I try to meet need after need. I began to feel hopeless because there were so many needs, and they require sacrifice of time, of energy, of the heart. I began to feel like I have no time of my own, no time to rest as I attended meetings after meetings.

What is worst is that I began to feel resentment at having to go through the trouble for people I barely know. I felt I was losing the joy of serving other people. All the things I used to do willingly with love, I felt I was now finding it a burden. I began to complain about how stressed I am and have started to panic.

I was about to go uni to do my assignment and was picking people up along the way when I realised why I'm feeling this way. Something was wrong with my relationship with God. I saw in my mind an image of me kneeling down, crying out to Him. And I knew right away that was what is missing. I haven't been humbling myself before God, I gave in to sin today, and I am now running on my own strength.

So, I changed my plan and came home after dropping them off at uni. I decided I had to get right before God. When I entered into my room, I dropped to my knees and wept. But it was not until I listened to the song East to West which God urged me to that I broke down.

I cried and cried when I listened to the lyrics. My spirit was stirred. As I paid attention to the lyrics, I felt as if the song was written for me for tonight. How funny because a few days ago, I listened to the same song, but it didn't bring the same meaning as it does now.

God is just so amazing....preparing this song for me to listen because He knew I needed to understand the meaning behind it tonight.

I start the day the war begins
Endless reminding of my sin
And time and time again your truth is drowned out
By the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away,
From you leaving me this way

Today, I woke up feeling terrible. Just like in the lyrics above.

Here I am Lord,
And I'm drowning
In your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don’t want to end up where you found me
And it echoes in my mind

I felt I was drowning in this sea of emotions from the past. Even when I knew today that I'm far different than the person I was, I felt the chains around me. I felt I was transported back to when God found me- broken, selfish, in pain. I never want to go back. I don't want to end up where He found me.

Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest

I can't bear to see the girl I've been rising up in me again. That is one of my fears. And today, God is telling me to face my fear. I am to fear nothing/no one but Him. He is reminding me that I can find rest in His merciful arms.

Jesus you know
Just how far the East is from the West
I don't have to see the man I've been,
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
'cause you know just how far the East is form the West,
From one scarred hand to the other.

Because He knows just how far the east is from the west; his scarred hand to the other.

As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us
-Psalm 103:12-

He removed all my sins when He was crucified, when He died for me. I don't have to see the person I have been. I now have peace and I can find rest in Him.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light
~Matthew 12:28-30~

I don't have to feel like I'm burning out because He gives me strength. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. It was because I was giving on my own strength that it started to feel heavy. I became proud and impatient and stopped learning from God when I started to take things into my own hands.

Just like how I missed the turn when I was so confident I won't, God is showing me that we Christians are so confident and proud of what we are doing, we become unaware that we are missing turns.

We become so busy with things we do for Him that we stop going to Him. We stop going onto our knees before Him. What we are doing for Him is not the same as spending time with Him.

Sorry for the super long post but yeah. I think it's time we check our hearts today.

這世代 This Generation - 讚美之泉 Stream of Praise


I come from chinese background church. eventhough i do not know how to read most of the chinese characters, God's grace is sufficient for me that i can understand most of the chinese songs.

One of my favourite chinese Christian album is Stream of Praise.

was listening to this song in the morning and i really wanted to share it with you all.SO i shall attempt to translate it for readers!
(mind you, there'll be some errors in translation so edit it as you will)

Verse 1:
See, the lion of Judah has won the victory,
Believers are getting ready to seek Him
Young people will see visions
Old people will dream dreams
Because God's revival is near

Verse 2:
Hear, the trumpets' sound are rising from the west,
All nations all people will tremble
Jehovah's day is near
Light will cast out darkness
Because God's revival is near
We want to see His glory revealed

Chorus:
This generation,
We fight the battle through worship
We change the world through prayer
This generation,
Holy Spirit wants to renew and guide us
This generation is Jesus's generation

Bridge:
Because God's revival is near
We want to see His glory revealed

...
....
.....

Let us continue to encourage people around us to join the 10-days of prayer leading to Global Day of Prayer!

Through prayer, we call God's will into existance,
through prayer we fight the unseen battle of the forces of the world,
through prayer, we proclaim God's promises to come to pass in nations and people,
through prayer, we moves God's hands in places that need freedom and revival,
through prayer, we send forth God's love and healing to those who are hurting and suffering,
through prayer, we will continue to march forward with boldness and stedfastness,
through prayer, we have faith to change the world.

Let us be the generation that pray!!!!

FAITH ----> a hard lesson to learn

from my blog on sunday EARLY in the morning...

tired i am
sad i am
i take refuge in songs, videos, words, emails
but those are not worth
those are not useful
what's most important is still FAITH

how much can we believe
how far can we believe
can we stretch it to the fullest of all
is it that easy to just say i believe?

i seek an answer to an unexisting question
in hope of finding the true answer
i tried all ways but it all boils down to FAITH

how much can i risk?
how much can i believe?
i ask i ask i ask
my answer is evident eventhough i choose to neglect it
it's still FAITH
it's still FAITH

i just finish watching mr.magorium's wonder emporium! now it's 439am in the morning. Since 1pm when i wokeup today, i felt troubled, scared, tired, worried. It all came right at once. So i tried all ways to get rid of those feelings. Studied, listen to christian music, asked people if they want to go out, read the bible, read encouraging emails, etc. In the end, i watched a movie. I did seek God! i asked i asked! but i heard no answer nor reply. I knOw He's talking to me but i'm not listening or maybe i choose not to listen! i'm tired, really tired. I need an answer! today my whole day surrounds FAITH! whole day! G3 says maybe God is trying to teach you something and trying to teach you FAITH! wow!!! this is a very hard lesson for me!!! it's sooo easy to tell people to believe and just trust God in everything you do, just surrender; but when we are called to take it into action, sometimes it seems soo soo hard! i admit i find it HARD! i find it really HARD! and i can't do it on my own! i need God to help me learn this FAITH thing!!! i need God to guide me to fully comprehand what is FAITH! It's an easy word which is easy to do once we fully grasp the meaning! i want to know what is real FAITH! God is teaching me what is real FAITH! it's a tough journey learning what this simple word is! i'm in this journey. I really need God! i really need help! Help me oh LOrd!

one sentence i can remember from the movie:

your life is an occasion. RISE to the occasion!

i proudly say that i just finished one test this morning! and that God was with me all the time! He sent me angels and He showed me love! i was worried and sad and tired, but He showed me grace, He showed me what He can do if only i surrender. I'm still learning and i'm still on this tough journey! but i want to learn FAITH i want to act in FAITH! yet, i know i can't have FAITH without God! coz i can't do it on my own! i just can't! my strength is limited, my perseverance limited; but God is unlimited! He's the God of the I M POSSIBLE!!! I thankq lord for these wonderful week. It was a tough one! It's going to be a tough one too! but i know You'll be by my side! I pray You'll just help me go on and havE FAITH! Strengthen my FAITH! Stretch my FAITH like a rubber!!! thank you lord in advance for limitLESS FAITH! in jesus most precious name i pray, AMen!=)

How far is the east from the west?

Answer:

From one scar(r)ed hand to the other

One part of the song which struck a chord in me:

I can't live by what I feel

But by the truth Your word reveals

I'm not holding onto You

But You're holding on to me

You're holding on to me

sandstone?

Taking a break from the assignment!

I am now doing an assignment on sedimentary rocks. And sedimentary rocks having grains of sands reminded me of a bible verse!

Psalm 139:17-18
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

WOW, I am THAT PRECIOUS to a God that created the WHOLE UNIVERSE!!!

and for that, I am EVER GRATEFUL and I want to shout out, I LOVE YOU DADDY GOD!!!!!!!!!!

SOLD!!!

Houses are cheap, cheap now. And so many people are planning to buy house. Saving here and there for that dream house. Then, imagine yourself as a home owner! That SOLD sign on the signboard of YOUR house!!! How exciting!

You know what? (say: wat?) We are SOLD too! We are redeemed by Jesus Christ!

Redeem (according to my study bible) is to buy back; to rescue from captivity by payment of ransom; to extricate form sin.

1Cor 7:23 says You were bought at a price: do not become slaves of men.

John 19:30 says After Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished." Then he bowed his head and released his spirit.

Tetelestai(greek word that is written on receipts in the olden days) means paid in full, it has been completed or It is finished!

How cool is that? God paid in FULL for our lives, lives that are sinful. Through Jesus Christ, His only son, God saved us from sins, so that we can be go home again!!! How valuable, how priceless is this act! The sufferings that He went through, the blood that He shed for us that we may live. How GREAT is this love! We are bought! And we are under the lordship of our new master! We belong to God! WOW! I think that's so cool(to belong to the one true GOD)!

I am SOLD to Jesus Christ!

I'm a Christian

When I say "I'm a Christian", I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and seen someone to be my guide.

When I say "I'm a Christian", I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say "I'm a Christian", I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I've failed and can't ever pay the debt.

When I say "I'm a Christian", I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are too visible, but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say "I'm a Christian", I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, which is why I speak His name.

When I say "I'm a Christian", I don't wish to judge. I have no authority; I only know I'm loved.
______________________________________________________

This was posted by Jessie quite a while back, but I thought I'd share this today because of how true the words are.

So many things have happened in my life that made me realise this at this very moment;
I have no right to doubt God. No right to doubt Him at all.

Because God remains true. He never changes. What He says, He will do.

I'm in awe of God. I am thankful that I finally truly, fully understand today that I'm a sinner saved by grace.

This is when I unashamedly want to tell the world, "I'm a Christian" !!

Coz He loves me just as i am!!! happppppppppyyyyyyyyyyy!!!=)

I LOVE YOU TOO JESUS!!!

while writing this post, i'm listening to a song called "WHat if His people PRAYED" by casting crowns. When i was doing my quiet time just now, i searched youtube for christian songs to sing...then i came to this song!!!

WHAT if His people PRAYED
What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captive free
And not let satan have one more

What if the Church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus I:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His faith, yeah
And turn from their old ways

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

Chorus I:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face yeah
And turn from their own way
Chorus II:
He said that He would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear, yeah
If only we would pray

Bridge:
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray

Choruses:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
And turn from their old ways
He said that He would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear yeaah
If only we would pray

when listening to the song and singing it in my room, it didn't occur much to me. then after praying and reading my bible and doing the Global prayer, BOOM!!! kena!!! That's the thing we need!!! that's just the right song for NOW!!! WHAT IF HIS PEOPLE PRAYED???!!! we are His people!!! what if we prayed???!!! wow!!! who is going to pray for the nations???!!! G5 is right! we can't pray selfish prayers!!! if we only pray for ourselves, then who will pray for the lost souls??? who will pray for more people to know God? Who will pray for the people in africa who are starving now??? we must really join our hearts BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!! it's time to pick up and dust off our swords!!! it's time to come humbly before Him and seek Him!!! are you ready for great things to happen???!!! ahhh!!! He's ready!!! ARE YOU??!!!

~G2~

I LOVE YOU!!!

I love You, I love You, I love You, I love You, I love You.......
Oh... I love You, I love You, I love You, I love You...

Yes God, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

eau de parfum

Why you may ask, a title as such. Haha let me explain. :) In my bible, I have inserted a lot of those little cards you get when you ask for a tester of a perfume. So, when I open my bible, I am greeted by this beautiful aroma and it sorta makes me happier. Haha, I don't know why, perhaps my sense of smell is stronger? or maybe just cause it smells nice. But anyways, it reminds me of us as children of a powerful God.

The bible says:
May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifce. Psalm 141:2

Let my prayer be set before you like incense! And what is incense?
Well, from dictionary.com:

in⋅cense

1  /ˈɪnsɛns/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [in-sens] Show IPA noun, verb, -censed, -cens⋅ing.

–noun

1.	an aromatic gum or other substance producing a sweet odor when burned, used in religious ceremonies, to enhance a mood, etc.

2.	the perfume or smoke arising from such a substance when burned.

3.	any pleasant perfume or fragrance.

4.	homage or adulation.

–verb (used with object)

5.	to perfume with incense.

6.	to burn incense for.

–verb (used without object)

7.	to burn or offer incense.

---

Origin:
1250–1300; ME < class="ital-inline">incēnsum, lit., something kindled, neut. of incēnsus (ptp. of incendere to set on fire), equiv. to incend- (see incendiary ) + -tus ptp. suffix; r. ME ansens, ensenz < class="luna-Img" src="http://cache.lexico.com/dictionary/graphics/luna/thinsp.png" alt="" border="0">

May I bring to your attention to the third definition of incense as a noun. Any pleasant perfume or fragrance. So this verse just simply means, let OUR PRAYERS be a PLEASANT PERFUME to OUR HEAVENLY FATHER! Let Him DELIGHT in our prayers.

So, my question to you today is:- Does your prayer please God with a pleasant perfume?

Seeing the last two posts about prayer, I am truly encouraged. So, I want to continue to encourage you, fellow servants of our mighty God, to PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE. and let our prayers not be selfish prayers. Let it not be (insert_your_own_name)-centered, but let is be God-centered! Let HIS will be done in our lives. Let HIS will be done in our cell members lives. Let HIS will be done in our church people lives. Let HIS will be done in our community. Let HIS will be done for everyone (*ahem* GDOP =D)

Now, close your eyes for a moment and think about your favourite perfume smell. If you don't like perfumes, think about your favourite food smell. Now, imagine the smell. Does it seem pleasing to you? Do you like it? In the same way, we want our prayers to be as, no wait, MORE pleasing to our Daddy God! Amen??

Go and pray!

Global Day of Prayer 2009

Yippie!!!! The Global Day of Prayer is back again!! A day of unity when Christians from all over the world; of different culture, denominations, and language gather in different places to cry out to God for healing and redemption.

Imagine this: millions of Christians from 214 countries crying out and seeking God's face.

I've no idea about you, but I am excited. If God moves when one individual prays, how much more can He when millions pray?

I believe that strongholds will fall, the lost will be saved, and the fallen restored into His kingdom!

"This is not about us. This is about a world in desperate need for His glory and compassionate love." Graham Power, Chairman, Global Day of Prayer.

How true.

So, may I encourage us all to join in prayer;
Let us be part of this meaningful journey.
Let us be Christians who do not only talk the walk, but walk the talk.
Let us stop being selfish, getting so caught up in our lives that we fail to realise that the world does not revolve around us.

There are people out there dying, hurting, crying out for help, searching for hope.

It's time we wake up.

~G3~

If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

-2 Chronicles 7:14

i love praying!!!=) say YES to our assignments!!!

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soooo happy soooo happy now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A few of us gathered at my house around 12am+ for prayer meeting just now. Actually today i felt abit, maybe more than abit tired, depressed and frustrated! i saw all my friends studying and working hard for finals and suddenly the stress came like a rush! it just hit me in the face that i haven't been spending quality time with my studies!!! i just pretended i understood what i was learning but in actual fact i don't! sooo i was really nervous!!! ahhhh!!!

then there was prayer meeting!!! yey!!! i superrr love prayer meetings!!! to be honest, one reason is i can take time out of studies, but the main reason is that i know when two or more are gathered, God is in our midst!!! and when we come together and seek HIm and pray and yearn for His presence and just cry out to HIm, God is there!!! HE IS THERE!!! He listens!!! and He smiles!!!=)

so...as usual, we shared what has happen to us for the past few days or so and our thoughts, etc. It was just wonderful!!! i just love when i can gather with God's kids, my brothers and sisters, and just share life and PRAY!!! PRAYER is indeed powerful!!! don't underestimate a prayer!!! God does things through prayersss!!! and one thing i learned today is also to believe in what we pray! if we don't believe, we would be praying lies, which is a NONO!!! faith is believing without seeing!!! sometimes it's hard to don't think about those worries and don't doubt, but that's faith!!! faith is believing without seeing!!! faith is taking the risk to believe it will happen!!! i need God to help me have faith!!! i need God to help me believe in what i prayed!!! yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after prayer just now, i felt sooo much better too!!! and when G3 said that God was in the room, i was really excited!!! just imagine...GOD IN MY ROOM LER!!! waliao!!! i was thinking:"what is He doing now? is He patting my head? is He smiling? (i bet He was)" soooo geng larrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God joining our conversation, God comforting us when we feel sooo nervous!!! ahhhh!!! tsk tsk tsk!!! sooo happy!!!=) another thing i learned today is what pia told us during cell last week, whereby God's plan never changes. He gives us assignments, and ask us if we want to accept the assignment. If we say YES, HIS plans will go on. If we say NO, HIS plans will still go on, but He'll find another substitute!!! so, if we are supposed to pray for something, we need to pray!!! coz if we don't, He'll find someone else to do it!!! aiks!!!=) i want to say YES!!! i pray that God will help me say YES to my assignments!!!***big smile=)

knowing Him, the God of all seasons

This picture was taken on the 5th Feb 2007. It was the first day of my journey away from Malaysia. First flight in my life. Ready to take my first step on the Land Downsouth. Ready to learn and experience the wonderful plans He has for me in Perth. A new season in my life.

Today the 20th May 2009, i thank God for all the times in the past. For every single event that took place and for every single person i met. For every ups and downs, for every victory and struggle. For every single tear and every single laughter. Every day and every night.
For every single moment, be it good or bad, i know He is moulding me and teaching me to make me ready for His work, He is always at work in me. Thank you Lord!

Dear Daddy God, i welcome you into my life today to continue your work in me. Though i may feel lost and helpless, you assure me that i am precious in your sight. And i thank You that you are always at work in me to make me ready to do good things for you. And day by day i will rejoice in You because You love me and You are watching over me. May i be your useful instrument at wherever You have placed me at. Amen.

Ephesians 2:10
We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

p/s: With that, I believe God is equipping His troops of army (from Zion especially, teeheehee) to do great things which He has already prepared in advance!!!!!!!! Trust in the Lord that His plans are great and He is going to do big things in the lives of people who is arriving in Perth in two months time, JUST LIKE WHAT HE HAS DONE IN YOU AND ME, even greater things will He when we trust in Him.....!!!!!!!

THIS IS HIS SEASON

I Still Believe

A story of my friend, a friend whom i'm really inspired by...

June 2008
S was running around looking for house and car. He was vey happy and excited. His wife and 2 year old daugther is coming. He hasnt seen them for a year. At the same time, he was serving in a Korean church, cell leading and worship leading. He was tired but he enjoyed every single moment. He always had a smile:) on his face.

Aug 2008
He has a car and a house. His wife and daugther will be here in no time!

Sept 2008
His wife and daugther are here! He had a housewarming party. His wife prepared a delicious, authentic Korean feast for us. His daugther running around the house, looking at all of us with curious eyes. It was a Happy Family!:)

Nov 2008
We finished our exams! We passed! We are going into 4th year! S was still enjoying having his family around and serving the LORD with all his heart.

Dec 2008
"I have something to tell you. S met a car accident. His wife passed away. He and his daugther are in hospital. The funeral is this weekend at.." These words continued to ring in my ears. Why did this have to happened? Are they ok? How did it happen?
I went to the funeral. The atmosphere was gloomy. People were crying. I looked arond for S but i couldnt see him. I stayed closed to the people I know in hope of finding some comfort. Then, i saw him. He was in a wheelchair. He looked tired, listless. It didnt looked like him. As this wife was cremated, he cried....broken and devastated.
We didnt speak to him.

May 2009
We met him again. He is well. He is going back to Korea with his daugther. But this is not the end. He is going to the Phillippines to learn English and he will be back next year to complete his studies. He is not the same. But the drive in him is the same if not stronger. He still believes. He still wants to serve the one true God with all he's got! He is alive and running with Christ, for Christ!!!

Love,
