Today, I realise that it really takes a revelation or some time to not blame people. My brother sorta bumped my dad's car this morning and its quite silly lah. I thought my dad will give a black face when this happened but he did not. Coz I remember when i was young, when this kind of things happen or some things that doesnt go according to his plans, he will give a charcoal face. But i realised that recent years, he has changed. I think he is used to it and knows how to deal with it with a open heart.
It's so human when things happened and you will start to blame people. Say things like.. 'wah lau, this kind of things will also happen' kinda attitude. And after some time, you start nagging at him. Actually, it does no help to the situation. Like this morning, the back wheel was stucked and we are thinking of solutions to pull it up but of coz, we ended up calling the tow company. haha. When my dad was there, he didn't blame him and nag at him or whatever.. but my mum came.. haha.. she started all the nagging lah.. I was just thinking about all this and she started that. ahha. quite funny. All the nagging actually does no help to the situation and blaming him also doesnt.
I've realised that my dad has come to that place of receiving it with an open heart. I don't think i have reached that point but I thank God, He opened my eyes. You know, afterall, we are all humans. We make mistakes in our everyday life. It's about not staying at our current situation.. come out with a solution and finally, get out of it and move on..
I just came back from bible study. When I was back, i ran straight into my parent's room and I started sharing with them about God. I thank God for the people that God has put around me in my life that I can share with them about real things about God and people I meet. Today I shared with them about what I believe and also imparting a spirit of wisdom to them. It's so amazing coz everything just seems supernatural. I told them about what is true success in life and I think they are rather amazed about my wisdom. Really! I seriously believe what we have learn in church right.. is not down to waste and we need to apply them in our lives and it's a testimony to people around us and our parents. I would also encourage you to share with them what you feel and about your faith. Take the step of faith to be open with them. Don't have to really preach to them but start from something small. Start sowing the seed and i'm sure it will reap one day and they are in church! I also share with them about some people that is so hopeless in life before and now, is such a great testimony for God. It's so real to them and to me. Wah. Thank God for those friends man! I really see a revival in my family and relatives. I'm just so excited about the things that God will do for my family! Let's believe God together man! :D
Thanks to everyone that wished me. Actually I thought of mentioniong all the people that smsed me. But I think, its quite tedious. haha. I'm just so blessed with great great friends around. My families, my buddies, my godly friends, my friends from Red Cross, my friends from SAA, my friends from SP and mjr.. oh yes! my friends that are overseas!(i decided to mention them coz they are fewer crowd. haha) I think Shiwei and Shiyang was in hk when they smsed me? haha. thanks man! Angelene for remembering too! ;) Victor, who has training in taiwan, and still take time to sms me. William, who is my good old friend, in Sydney! Thanks alot guys! Of coz, those that are in sg, I appreciate every bit of our relationship man! thanks so much!
Yesturday, I was at caregroup and it emphasis on the message that was preached a week before by Pastor Chin. He was sharing that, youth like us is always making important decisions. Important decisions that will determined our destination which is 10 years down the road. So, what are Godly decisions and good decisions. I will not share everything here but I will tell you what Coach Han has shared with us over supper yesturday night which confirms what was shared last night.
Psalms 37:23-26
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lends; And his descendants are blessed.
Actually he shared until verse 24 only but I read on, I thought its good. On verse 23, it says that we are ordered by the Lord. So, I asked him what exactly is "ordered" and he explained to me. "Ordered" means that God gave an instruction, we listen and follow by doing it.
So, sometimes we thought, if we don't follow what God has called us to do and don't follow His plans.. we are doomed and we will be not be successful in life. But verse 24 says that God will uphold us with His hands. Wah. I thought that was good. Coz during caregroup, we shared about that. We were saying that sometimes, we don't follow what God is telling us. Its still ok, there's no wrong.. But you are just not enjoying the full blessing that He wants for us. And that sorta confirms it during supper. So, Coach actually stopped here. I read on myself and David says that he is now old yet he didn't see any righteous forsaken and poor. The verse says that "Nor his descendants".. so we are included! And that we are blessed! Even though at times, you might make mistakes and didn't follow God's decision for you, its still alright! God will turn around for your good!
That kinda comforts me coz I was battling about making a rather big decision recently. So, yeah, its timely man.
aha. I just love saturdays. its a day to slack and do nothing. yeah, so its like my sabbath. Ok. I go and rest somemore. Shalom!
Today, I went out to eat at RiceTable with my family. Wah. Thank God. Come to think of it.. that was my prayer like say a year ago.. to be able to go out and eat as a family. Wah. Really thank God. Its really a good time together. After eating, we decided to watch a movie. Well, everything was good until my brother started asking my dad to buy him laptop again. Yes, again. I shant touch on that much and to cut short the story, his black face just came out immediately. He must be thinking, ya.. whats new.. its me adding salt and sugar again so that my father will not buy for him. I am always against him. Well, if he really think in that way, then let it be because i'm seriously not. I just think that we don't have to spend this kind of unnecessary money since we have a computer at home. We are not from some rich family afterall and I survived my poly days without a laptop and I don't see the point of him having one just because he studies IT. It do hurt me sometimes that he always thinks that I am against. As much as i'm against his ideas, I don't exactly am against him always. If he comes out with ideas that are logical and good, then of coz, i will support. Just now I was just thinking, its better to be firm and not be nice and say 'No' than always be a very nice guy and 'yes yes' person. We must learn to say 'No'. Sometimes, it is just so hard to love him. I seriously want to.. I tried striking a conversation with him and try to talk sense out of him but he just thinks that i'm against him. Ah! I'm not gonna care anymore and let God do the job man. I shall not let this kind of distraction hurt me when it started with a blessing from God. Yes! Thank God for my family, even for my younger brother. From him, I've learn to importance of harmony in a family. I've learn that family's love and support are so important in someone's life.
Ok. Gtg and sleep.

Yesturday, I was at Steven Curtis Chapman's concert. Its quite cool. Though I only know like 4-5 songs but I enjoyed it lah. A very humble man which always talks about God's love for him and I bet he really have a relevaltion about that. Oh yes! He adopts 3 children. how cool is that right!? He's a Ang Moh but all 3 adopted kids are asian. haha. damn cool lah. He has this love for orphans and that's why he have this movement around the world.
After the concert and after a close upfront encounter with him, I realise that I want to be someone like him. When i was upfront with him, he's sincere heart just portrait so amazingly through the way he talked to us.. the way he look at us. A very sincere person and like, his heart just go up to everyone, be it young or old.. pretty or ugly. Sometimes, I do like judge people from their looks.. from the way they talk and will not get close to people that is abit weird and all. But, I just suddenly feel that the more I should be loving them and show love and sincerity to them and that's what the kind of love I've felt from him. Very amazing and from his concert.. he keeps talking about God's love for all of us. He must have really experience such great love from God to be able to be like so loving to people.
That actually makes me thought of a sermon that Pastor preached. Apostle John is known to be the apostle of love and only in his writtings, he wrote that he is the disciple whom Jesus loves. Actually Jesus love all twelve disciples but only in John's letter, he wrote that. So, he must really have known that the Lord really love him and therefore, extending that love to people.
so, yeah! start feeding on God's love for you!!
