Say Your Goodbyes

Some photos that i found in my computer. I think camp photos really show how much this family of God has grown.

Camp photos in chronological order:

Not forgetting the times when the guys had so much fun doing nonsense.

They say a picture speaks a thousand words. I must have said many in this post alone. I shall end off with a few. Thank God for the privilege to have been in this unit. I'm proud to have been part of this God-anointed family that follows after God, no matter what happens.

Haggai2:9

'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."

What Can I Do

What Can I Do

Verse 1:
When I see the beauty of a sunset's glory,
Amazing artistry across the evening sky
When I feel the mystery of a distant galaxy
It awes and humbles me to be lovedBy a God so high

Chorus:
What can I do but thank You,
What can I do but give my life to You
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What can I do but praise You,
Everyday make everything I do a hallelujah
A hallelujah, hallelujah

Verse 2:
When I hear the story of a God of mercy
Who shared humanity and suffered by our side
Of the cross they nailed You to, that could not hold You
Now You're making all things new by the power
Of Your risen life

Let everything that I do, be an offering on to you.

Salt Water Please!

My u l c e r hurts -.-

Privilege Please!

Philippians1:6
6being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

One of my favourite verses in the Bible and one that I cling on to a lot. I know that everything is in your perfect plan. I know that fruits will definitely come; the harvest will soon be reaped. But as my time runs out, if it's within your perfect plan for me, I ask for this privilege to be part of the group of workers that will reap the harvest.

Love

Psalm 84:10
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Everything must stem from love. If I can't be diligent enough to seek after more of God's word everyday, I need to LOVE the Word Of God. If I can't bring myself to love others, I need to LOVE God more. Most importantly, if I want to serve God, I need to LOVE God's presence.

With You

Discouragement is often the word that is used to describe one's feelings when things don't go your way. When you expect and things don't go your way, how cliche would it be to say "I'm discouraged. Why? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Why doesn't things go the way I want them to go?!"

As I sat pondering, I came to a conclusion. There must be more to this. As one ponders about why things don't work out, that's really great. But I need to move on to the how; the way to solve or remedy the problem.

1 Chronicles 4:10
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

I will make the full prayer. Not just the part about you blessing me and enlarging my territory, but let your hand be with me as well. I would rather have God's favour and anointing with me and no fruits (i sincerely hope that won't happen lol) then to have fruits without God's anointing and favour.

Gogogo!

Silence

I really think that open houses are a waste of time. A large crowd and a whole host of things that I'm not really interested in. All this, is strictly in my opinion though. Please don't feel offended if you're a fan of open houses.

Alright, so it's the end of yet another day. I really have so much free time. No exams, no studies, no work, no army training(at least for now). Am I the envy of many? Haha. Yet, I do struggle with a certain problem that many people do face. I try my best to slot in things everyday in my schedule, so that I won't be idle and do nothing at all the whole day. And my day really becomes more meaningful, but definitely tiring and busy. It's really true for many of us that having a busy and hectic day is perfectly normal, to say the very least. Different people carry different burdens, problems and of course joy, but I think that at the end of a busy and hectic day, an important question to ask myself is "Have I lived this day with God today?"

That was a probing question that I asked myself as I was on my way home. Sometimes, it's really hard to face up to the fact that even as I schedule my day to be filled with meaningful things, God is not totally in the picture at times. God's voice is not really heard at times. Yet, God speaks all the time. It's really about how much I desire and yearn to hear from him.

Just as how Mary sat at Jesus's feet and listened, I need to slow down, stop and listen to God's voice.

I pray for my spiritual eyes and ears to be opened. To see and hear your spiritual truths as I live each day of my life. I pray for a heart of humility to receive what you have planned for my life. All in all, I pray for greater obedience that even as I listen, I need to obey.
