Towards Eternity

Look at yourself. Look at things around you. Still not enough? Complain?

I think if you’re reading this, you’re blessed. But, what about them?

Just awhile ago when I was in the superstore, the counter beside where I was, there was a young married couple. They were just going to pay for what they’ve brought. Husband walk towards the counter with a pack of cookie hoping to buy one. Wife hold up the money on her hand which is only RM20, just enough for what they need for a period of time, immediately her husband put back that pack of cookie and go back to his wife with a sad yet it’s ok face on him. After having the cashier counting all the item, she realize there is enough to get one pack of the cookie, she turn to the husband and tell him to get one, husband replied, “it’s ok.” As she moved forward, I realize, she is pregnant. I looked at the husband’s hand, realize that’s not a car key. I wonder. I look around her again I realize there’s a boy beside them (which I’m not sure if it’s the brother or their son) with a motorcycle helmet on his hand. When they walk out from the superstore, husband put his hand on her back and support her. I prayed.

This couple, with not much that they have, can’t even afford an extra pack of biscuit and expecting a baby to come. Ride a motorcycle with a boy and a woman which is also pregnant. This man, yes he felt sad but he understand and he choose to support the family and wife with that extra money instead of using it for his desire for that pack of cookie. He choose to.

I do not know about you, but I, I do complain now and then. This scene just reminded me of how silly I am to complain when I am so blessed. How selfish am I when all I think about is me. I was thinking. What about these people? Where does hope comes from? I have hope in God, great family, great surrounding, but, how about them? God reminds me once again to think about others and be thankful. Please, don’t think “ What did happen?” The question is “ What will happen!?” Who are you to judge? You have no right. There’s nothing that I can do to help them, but just pray. I believe prayer is powerful.

I want to be a blessing to others no matter where I am. I am already really blessed. There’s more than enough. I choose to be a blessing towards people around me not matter I know them well or not. No matter we have met before or just met. It’s not about me at all.

How about you? Maybe it’s time to look around. Be thankful.

Asia. God is wiping out in Asia. Natural disaster here and there all around Asia. There was just this strong wind that wipe KK just awhile ago, non stop rain pouring down. I believe this is only apart of what is going on in Philippine. This is the time my friend, pray, pray and pray.

Once again I'm reminded of the Great Commission.
Matthew 28: 19, 20.

Therefor GO and MAKE DISCIPLES of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and TEACHING them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.


This is whats going on in Asia.

Indonesia quake The South Korean Disaster Relief Team at the site of a landslide in Indonesia Emergency workers held out scant hope of finding more people alive in the wreckage left by the Indonesian quake, leaving clean-up teams the grim task of retrieving the decaying bodies of thousands of victims from the rubble. The military and medics pushed deeper into rural areas where whole villages have been buried by landslides, and more international rescue teams arrived with sniffer dogs and specialist equipment. The United Nations said at least 1,100 have died in the 7.6-magnitude quake which struck on Wednesday, but the real toll is expected to soar into the thousands. "What rescuers say is that the worst bit is that they're finding a finger or hand here, a foot there, and they're trying to piece people together," said Bob McKerrow, head of the International Federation of the Red Cross in Indonesia.

Philippines typhoon Squatter hut residents catch whatever they can from a river linked to Manila In the Philippines, Typhoon Parma killed at least 15 people just a week after tropical storm Ketsana brought the heaviest rains in more than four decades, leaving nearly 300 dead. Many areas in the north of the main Luzon island were blacked out and cut off from communication as Parma left the country and hovered over the South China Sea. The state weather bureau warned that the worst may not be over, as typhoon Melor, lying some 2,200 kilometers (1,200 miles) to the east in the Pacific Ocean, may suck Parma back to the country. "It is possible that it (Parma) will make U-turn and will hit Luzon again," forecaster Nathaniel Cruz said, adding that Parma was already "interacting" with Melor, preventing it from moving farther out to sea.

Vietnam storms A man tries to get in his flooded house following Typhoon Ketsana in Vietnam The toll in Vietnam from Ketsana jumped to 162 on Sunday with hundreds more injured, an official said, adding urgency to a Red Cross appeal launched to help more than 200,200 storm victims. Another 13 people remain missing and 616 are injured, said the official from the national flood and storm control committee in Hanoi. An estimated three million people in Vietnam have been affected by Ketsana, said the Red Cross, which on Friday launched an international appeal for 4.75 million dollars to help 210,200 of the neediest victims. More emergency aid reached southern Laos Sunday after the weather system left at least 24 dead last week in one of Asia's poorest nations. The toll in neighboring Cambodia remained at 17.

Samoan Tsunami A US flag flies over the tsunami devastated village of Poloa in American Samoa The number of people feared killed in the devastating tsunami that pounded the Samoa islands and Tonga neared 190, according to officials. Ferocious waves were unleashed by a 8.0 magnitude undersea quake which rattled the region early Tuesday, devastating American Samoa, neighboring Samoa and the Pacific island nation Tonga. The confirmed death toll remained at 176 on Sunday but there were fears for the lives of 12 missing people. Hundreds of thousands of people in southern India were evacuated after torrential rains and floods swept away homes, leaving at least 207 people dead, officials said Sunday. The death toll in the state of Karnataka stood at 170, while 37 people were killed in neighboring Andhra Pradesh, authorities said. "The deaths are largely due to houses collapsing, drownings and flash floods," H.V. Parashwanath, secretary of Karnataka's disaster monitoring agency, told AFP.

I knew this is gonna be long, but I just wanna share it all out!! =]

Am thinking bout last PK we had when i was leading worship. It was pretty amazing! the best part was that i didn't even realize how amazing it was until the end of it when Elder Annie comes forward took over the worship and show us a thumbs up! Right after that i was thinking, "What just happened?" Amazed.

I think the kids was really enjoying themselves praising and worshiping God. Enjoying His presences. I am still looking for responds and feedbacks from others just to make sure and confirm what was God doing. A or 2 before that day, i was asking for revival to be happening in PK. The children and also ourself individually. I now believe strongly that the children can do greater things then just come and sit and listen and learn just like that. After seeing the video that shared by Ps. Joshua, i know that God can use children to pray for the nation, to bring souls unto His Kingdom, to spread His good news, to have that understanding, maturity and anointing that we seen God pouring out towards the adults and young people. It is time to let God and trust and believe in Him.

I am not sure what is God preparing us for last Saturday. I felt strongly that needed to pray for His protections upon all of us and letting the worship team to pray for themselves and their instruments before we starts the practice. At the same time i saw the adults was praying powerfully, i can felt that power of the Holy Spirit even on that stage without knowing what were they praying for. My heart was really to see and expect from God. I was really really excited since monday to lead worship and also to meet up with the Doulos team. This is the first time(well at least in what i remember) that the worship team is so complete, i mean everyone was there. Perhaps God wants to speaks to everyone of them.=]

Until today, i still am not really sure what did God do on that day. Towards the kids, the team members and the Doulos team. Whatever happens on that stage, i really am not sure what actually happened on that stage!! BUT it was GOD, it was GOD. No one shall takes credits, to HIM the praises belongs.

My prayer is that God will rise up these children, God will speak to them in His own way. No more 'BUT's, trust God 100%. I pray that there kids will experience the Holy Spirit and leaders of the nations begins here. I lay down my life to see this revival happens. I die to myself to obey Him. I am not only saying this, this is a challenge for me and i will do my best. For His Glory, i will stand strong. How bout you? God=] You're awesome!

One very important fact i learn. Only when we come in unity, things happens, great things happens. God pour down His special made anointing and gift towards us individually. It is when these different kind of gifting and anointing comes together, BOOM! greater things happens. WOW!!!! i think now i know why the whole worship team was there!! As a worship leader, I think my focus of that day was alot on the worship team, so ya..=]

God is doing something great in Praise Kids as a team and also every individual. God even bring His blessing from 3 different country by the Doulos team! how cool!!

This is what the Bible said about Unity.
Ephesians 4: 1-16.

The important of Unity.
Verse 11: It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
12: to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
13: Until we all reach unity in the faith and in knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

The power of Unity.
Verse 14: Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves,g and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
15: Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
16: From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, AS EACH PART DOES ITS WORK.

Special thanks to the PK WORSHIP TEAM!!! You guys are awesome!!! To PK TEAM MEMBERS!!! thanks for the supports and prayers!!! To DOULOS TEAM!! it is definitely a pleasure to have you guys around. I'm amazed by how they teach in simple ways.

Lets stay United, glue together!
Blessing=]

Well, recently been quite stressful. I'm currently doing my final project and at the same time doing some freelance since around July. I guess you can see how stressful it is har? Well, this stress brings something good after all=]

This is the most stressful for me, no idea+ rush = Sitting There Realizing Everything Still, SAME! (STRESS). Lets share.

I was trying and doing my best to rush some works for my boss and at the same time searching for ideas and inspirations for my final. You know, ideas doesn't comes overnight, well at least not for me. For 2days, I've searching and searching for concept for this final project of mine, something that I've never did before. I was also preparing myself to meet up with some clients for my freelances. Sometime I just do not know where to start. The whole week I was so so stress, so stress that I do not know what to do anymore, I just wanna sleep and get my brain some rest. Till one night, I break down, I told God what am I going tru, it's not like He do not know and I'm not actually complaining, I was just telling Him. I told Him everything and how stressful I am. Wow after that conversation, I felt so release and refresh! I woke up the next day with full of hope and strength.

Things sounds good aint? Well not all that. I was preparing some drawings to present to my client that afternoon, suddenly, my boss called. He told me that in less than 15min he's gonna need to meet up with that client! I was so shock! Well it was my fault because I get the time wrongly. He was so mad that he scolded me and I was trying to find a way, I told him that I will meet up with him at our client's place and I promise him that without thinking how am I going to be there since I don't have a car!! Just after I told him that, my dad came home! I was like..THANK YOU LORD!! I knew it was God.

Met up with my boss and he doesn't look that mad after all. I apologize and we prepare our way to meet client. I felt release when I saw him. With not much expectation of what will happen next, I started to present my ideas to the clients, there was 2 of them. One older man and a young lady. After presenting, one of the owner said " this is nothing special, I also can design lar" I was like...okey~ we'll see what you have to say. I was not mad but I think it was alil funny so I smile and starts to listen to what he wanna say. He starts to share bout what he saw in China and this and that. The more he shared the more out of concept he is. I look at the young lady and look at my boss, I smile.

I admit that my design is not that beyond expectations, I have limited knowledge about all this at this age also my friend. But I wasn't feeling that bad when people tell me that. When he said that I was actually excited to wanting to hear what he's gonna say, what's his idea. So I listen and found out I still think my design is better in someways, not every ways but someways. I still love my design better. Haha=] The other owner too share her ideas and we spend the rest of the time thinking bout the ideas. I do not talk much when I know I shouldn't waste my time=] I was exhausted that day only because of that few hours.

You see, things doesn't goes good all the way. Challenge are always ahead. When I told God about all this stress, indeed He really refresh me but it doesn't mean that I will not have any challenge the next day. It is because I was refresh that is why I can still face the stress of shocking boss calling and meeting client in less than 15min times to get ready. Not to mentions the "this is nothing special, I also can design lar". Seriously, if it wasn't God that is in control, I think I have already explode on the spot!

I wanna give a big fat thank you to God for having things in His own hand in this times of stress. When you stress, it actually leads you to something amazing. In my case, it leads me to joy and peace while dealing with the clients, overcoming my stress in this. The best part is overcoming=] Thank you Lord. Another thanks is to the client. Thanks to him that now I know how to deal with clients in a different ways. Thanks to his one sentences that give me a goal that I wanted to reach now=] Please do not get me wrong, I really learn from all this in the good way.

Stress comes once awhile, but for me I know that it will leads me to something good, something that I can learn from. I will be thankful for the stress that I had. Overcoming it is the best=]

I pray that your stress = something good too=]

Blessing.

One Hug

Like a child I cry, I cry to You
Asking for Your love
You are the only one, I can ever have
Your love will never go away

When I sing
You came, right beside me
And you said “My Child”
I hold You tight and give You all of my heart
Letting myself to love You more

One hug
Just one hug I need
One that change my life ever more
One that take away the rest
One hug
Just one hug I ask
The warmth and comfort like never
The love that you put together
