Birthday birthday

Came home today super early from Church...Unlike of me haha!

Anyway, I was pondering last night questioning myself like why am I so tired out and burdened serving in Church...

Why?...

On a happier note, I received a wallet as a gift from mum's friend.

What a God-sent gift when I told God that I will not spend the money to buy a new one and use my old wallet! Amen, God knows your every true need!

Oh, and thanks Nic for the book! I hope it will be of help in camp haha

21 years on Earth

Happy 21st Birthday to myself :D

Meantime, some people been asking me why I have no plans for my 21st birthday...

Well, first of all, I had no intention to celebrate it as usual every year...

I do not see a significance in 21st birthdays...maybe referring to myself...

Friends are busy with exams that are coming up for them...

Lord, this 21st Birthday has no meaning without You in it...

Thank You Lord, Amen!

Come and Go?
















Looking back at the events we had in KFC over the years...

Where have our guests gone to?

Where have the friends you invited gone to?

This Christmas, I pray that God will do something special...

Lord, teach your children and enable them...

Lord, this is my prayer...

That your Kingdom come and Your name glorified.

Amen.

21st Birthday? A party? A chalet?

21st birthday is just around the corner for me...

Sometimes I don't look forward to this day...why?

I looked back when I first started out my faith in Serangoon Cell.

When I learnt to jot down my prayers, I remembered one of the prayers I made was to see my parents accepting Christ before I turn 21. And now, my 21st Birthday is here and somehow, I don't see the possiblilty of them accepting Jesus yet. So much for my faith!

That was in Jan 2005, the time I first stepped into Serangoon Cell to be greeted by warm smiles and cheerful greetings. People were caring and geniune. My very 2 closest friends or sponsors were Constance and Ethel. They were the ones who gave me the attention I needed and guided me and helped me, especially in the guitar playing part.

I am always amazed at how God's perfect timing is. If I never agreed to go Sgoon Cell that friday, I would probably never had grown my faith in God. Serious, look for me to know more and why.

Now back to my 21st birthday and 3years plus have gone by, ups and downs have gone by...

People have come and gone as well...

But I know in my heart, that the friends I made these years, every SINGLE one of YOU matter to me...

There are some who I've grown really close with, some not so...

But all of you out there from WRPF, I cherish you individually...

If there is anything I can do for you, let it be my 21st Birthday wish!

Meantime, I might just spend my 21st Birthday in Solace, in quietness...

God I look to You! :D

Knowing that You are near!

Oh and I had a early birthday treat from Elaine and Evelyn today! Together with Pastor Mary and Joshua. Pastor Mary's birthday is coming too!

Really nice of them to give me a treat, since I'm not very close to them but here's a shoutout to you 2!! THANK YOU!!! It has just sweetened my 21st Birthday memories!

Here's some photos I took at NYNY lunch =)
The last photo is a bird that flew into the restaurant! At citylink??!

He is Jesus, Jesus Christ!

Caught Quantum in Solace with a friend tonight...

Didn't had much expectations for this since Casino Royale was a flop...

Turns out to be a surprise for me...

The action-packed start was packed with shoot-outs at high speeds on one of the tracks in a racing game that I recalled...It was in Italy...

Anyway, we all know James Bond (unless you don't own a TV or watch movies)...

The man who seems to never die, (like Max Payne), easily takes out 3 agents in a lift(with his hands cuffed!!)

The man who can take out 2 speed boats firing mp5s at him and he did not even have a pistol...

The man who flew a clumsy old cargo plane against a spitfire and yet took it out, with his engine's burning black smoke!!

The man who could avoid scores of special agents and forces on the hunt for him...

He is da man! James Bond, commonly known as 007...


Some food for thought after the movie:

Bond was always misunderstood even though he never once strayed from his mission or objectives.

Jesus, while on earth, went through the same kind of trials...

Bond was always able to overcome situations with wits and quick-thinking and a mindset to make Every bullet count.

Jesus, on the other hand, had the wisdom of the God most high and spoke in parables that the teachers of the Law could not understand. He never had to flee but chose to heed the will of His heavenly Father.

Bond was able to take out 3 of his colleagues in a lift while he was handcuffed, how cool is that!!

Jesus, on the other hand, paid the price for the sins of the entire world, with His hands and feet nailed on the wooden cross. He who never once sinned against His heavenly Father, chose to take our sins upon Himself and died so that you and me can live today. Think about that?

I'll leave you with these to munch on, hope you can see for yourself how much Jesus loves you and how awesome He is. So much that James Bond would be a bad comparison to our God most High!

Amen.

Jesus is the reason

Circumstances affect me, but nevertheless, I will not be moved.

God I believe You have the best.

And I will choose to wait on You.

All I desire is forgiveness; reconciliation.

Lord, I must look to You.

What is Love?

Love to me is unconditional giving without any expectation to receive.

Love is the power to write off hate.

Love is the power to bring hope to life.

Because Jesus is love, He has brought hope into my life.

Dear God, as much as it hurts me to be in this situation, I will look to You for strength and comfort. Till the day I am freed from burdens and troubles, I will hold on to You. I will run this race, fight this fight and keep my faith in You. Amen.

Take me to the place

Dear God, I pray you'll take me to the place.

The place where I can find You.

I halt in my steps.

I know You're calling out to me.

You are calling out to me in silence.

God, I'm coming back...

I'm coming back to You

=) God is good, God is great. GG! God's grace upon you ;)
