Y2010

Empowered to clear high hurdles, not with a backward arch, but with a forward leap.

Be it unto me according to Your word...what is impossible with man is possible with You!

Ladakh

www.goingtoschool.com

Was watching the DVD on Going to School in India.

Came to the episode on going to school in the mountain area of Ladakh, admiring the scenic view of the mountain tops and feeling the joy of these carefree children in their school environment....

and suddenly i just burst into tears and found myself praying in tongues....

Crying out for the children of this land and for workers to be sent forth into this harvest field....

Ladakh is strongly influenced by tibetan culture....so u won't miss those prayer flags

It's almost like a sudden mood swing.....

Tasik Temenggor

This place is my idea of spa!!!

Went out canoeing in the morning (9am) and heard the

Helmeted Hornbills. Don't mistake them for monkeys. They have a distinct call which climax to a freaky...almost evil...laughter!

Watch out for fireflies as you walk from the dining area to the A-hut. There are loads of them!

No Eye has Seen

DAD thru PSP:

"I shall do a greater work in you"

Not quite what I used to be

....but also not quite there yet.

Going through a season where DAD is straightening out my idiosyncrasies.....point blank.....straight to the face!!! It's been a wrestle where I just held my ground and refused to budge...like why must I put up with certain characters at work and still maintain my cool?!!! Every day, I yell out a silent scream to DAD to get me another job!!!

Since i had the flu and stayed home for 2 days.....something inside me physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually slowed down. I begin to surrender...a little at a time. While I allow HIM to fix me up in certain areas, I'm chalking up idiosyncrasies in other areas.....NEVERENDING!!!

For months, I refused to get on my knees to intercede.....what's the point??!! Don't see no breakthroughs! But I'm yielding now, even when i haven't got a clue what i'm interceding for. Joyce Meyer always says, there's no drive-thru breakthroughs!

To borrow John Maxwell's words...I'm educated beyond my level of obedience. Well, I'm not staying that way. NO MORE!!!

Sound Bites

Extract from "Three Cups of Tea"

Mortenson says, 

"We Americans think you have to accomplish everything quickly. We're the country of 30-minute power lunches and 2-minute football drills Our leaders thought their 'shock and awe' campaign could end the war in Iraq before it even started.

Haji Ali taught me to share 3 cups of tea, to slow down and make building relationships as important as building projects. He taught me that I had more to learn from the people I work with than I could ever hope to teach them."

I have appointed you to bear fruit, that your fruit will remain

Kathmandu

A place where people line up 6hours for petrol. And when their turn comes...oops....there's not a drop left. 

A place where there's electricity rationing. So no air-con in the office and don't count on the elevators!

A place of surprises where political upheavals resulted in sudden road closures. But I eventually managed to leave the office and return to the hotel after a few failed attempts!

A place where DAD's heart beat so strongly for the youths with their misplaced priorities.... 

I Made It!

It's been 9 months since I got my 1st car.

About a year before I got the car, I asked DAD to show me the purpose of getting one. I counted the cost and knew that it didn't make alot of sense to own one....parking, fuel, maintenance, road tax, insurance etc

Then I heard....or least i think I heard "YOU SHALL DRIVE INTO MALAYSIA"........whoa!!!!

Well....I crossed the border on Good Friday for the 1st time!!! With jam and all!!!

As I drove out of my carpark heading towards Woodlands checkpoint.....the verse came to me...Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of GOD. Well, DAD empowered me throughout the entire journey to JB and home....safely!!

Was driving in the jam for perhaps a total of 4hrs throughout. Reached Woodlands and joined the line around 10am. Cleared JB customs at about 12pm! Thankfully, it wasn't raining. Had to do clutch control, handbraking up the slopes. Most of the time, I didn't even get pass gear 1.

Had an incredible navigator beside me and guided me with directions and exactly which lane to take and when to filter out so that other cars have no choice but to give way to me...hahaha! I even drove on the opposite side of the road near JB Jusco...talk about lawlessness!!!

It was an amazing feat.....an adventure with the H.S......but I was totally wiped out when i got home at 9.30pm. No jam at all on my way back....woohooo! What a relief.

What is impossible with man is possible with God....living by HIS WORD!

Rainbow

Within a span of a week after I return from Shanghai, I spotted rainbows on 25feb09, right outside my office. And another on 2Mar09, right at the doorstep of my HDB flat!

Yup, no need to chase after pretty rainbows. They are right there before my eyes. Don't need to help DAD fulfill His promises in my life cuz....settle this in your heart geokies.....not 1 word of HIS promises for me will fall to the ground without being fully accomplished. Way to go DAD! The rainbow's in the sky to show me that You're faithful!

Hsinchu High Speed Rail

Hsinchu SCB office 

-> 3:25pm Free shuttle to Hsinchu HSR station

-> 4:04pm NT120 free seating to Tao Yuan HSR station. On hindsight, should have paid NT130 for an allocated seat....cuz then I get to choose an aisle seat......so no need to fumble around with luggage

-> 4:20pm NT30 Airport Bus 705 to Tao Yuan T2 Airport Arrival Hall

-> 4:35pm Check-in SIA row 2A Departure Hall (3/F)

Left on a warm day but wind speed was staggering....could very well lose your balance!

3 Cups of Tea

I got past the 5th chapter of the book....and it has been a captivating journey!!

Lots of thoughts, emotions raced through my mind as I read. 

I came to the end of chapter 2 and found the song 'Find Yourself' from the Cars Soundtrack ringing within me...

When you find yourself

In some far off place,

And it causes you

To rethink some things,

You start to sense

That slowly you're becoming someone else

And then you find yourself

We go through life

So sure of where we're heading,

And then we wind up lost

And it's the best thing that could happen

Sometimes when you lose your way

It's really just as well

Because you find yourself;

Yeah that's when you find yourself

Then chapter 4 found me crying out for the lost in Pakistan and interceding earnestly for Mortenson......Without a doubt, YOU have sustained him for a GOD-given destiny!

Heart2Heart

Your question caught me offguard o.O....

Hahaaa......it's easier for me to stay single than it is for me to stay attached @.@ 

Of course, it won't stay that way when the appointed one arrives at the appointed time ^_^

But bro, when you've goofed up one too many times, you just stop in your tracks and surrender to the ONE who holds your future. And rEaLLY.... those who put their trust in the Lord will never be disappointed.

So by and by, I grow in a deeper understanding that my life is set apart....it IS not my own. 

After 3 serious fallouts, I came to the end of myself... acknowledging and repenting of my insecurity and fleshly desires.....and still repenting.

It's not like there was never a moment of wandering, wondering and fantasizing. Just pour out your mobs and sobs at His feet lor! 

Gotta hit the bed for now......stay tuned for the next episode......
