I remember some time back in church there was a message of being Thankful and I am indeed thankful for being so so blessed. I remember my elder sister being the wonderful sis she is asking me "Hey! What do you want for Christmas?" and then I thought for a while and just realised how blessed I am. I told her 'nothing in particular actually'.
I don't look for presents from people. Anyway, its seldom that I get something that I want. Because I think HE the Darling of my heart has got me what I want. Its only when I let something or someone take over that place that I start being jealous and going for 2nd best but I am glad that HE does not do that.
Things I am so thankful for (the list is very long but some of the things)
- MY LOVELY FAMILY
- MY FAMILY IN TARC (just a random pic - lots of them not here)
- TSF - TARC CG
- My Groupmates for 2 sems
So many more to be thankful for. I am one blessed child. =) Never could I ask for more. (Love to grumble and complain for no apparent reason but within I am really grateful for everything. THANK YOU Darling!

After finishing the earlier post. I read this.
With each of our jobs, God is building something in us that will be used for His purposes now and in the future. Oswald Chambers says "In the beginning we do not train for God, we train for work, for our own aims; but as we go on with God we lose all our own aims and are trained into God's purpose. Unless practical work is appointed by God, it will prove a curse."
Jesus was prepared for His ultimate calling by working with His father in his carpentry shop until He was thirty years old. More than 54% of Jesus' teaching arose out of issues in daily life experience. Joseph was prepared to be head of a nation by serving prison time and being a slave in Potiphar's house. Moses was prepared to lead a nation out of slavery by serving in Pharoah's house and later working forty years as a shepherd.
Do not despise the small jobs-for they are stepping stones to a greater purpose in God's plan for your life and for God's preparation for your ultimate destiny. Some of these jobs are necessary for the message He is forming in you.
I said in the earlier post that everything seems in place but the job in the task itself wasn't erm..... too exciting but it says do not despise the small jobs. Well YOU have Your way. I will walk by faith even when I cannot see.

Sem Break
My prayer was to find a suitable job which I will be able to be near home, still be able to help around the house, go to the gym, and also play floorball. Man I should have ask for good pay as well. A tick to everything. I wonder why HE put me here? Small company but friends here are just great. (2 people to talk 2) Seem to be in the middle. A communication tool 2 both. I complain at first not wanting the job. My heart is in the field (dead for now) but I know HE has placed me here. I'm and happy and contented to see how things fall into place. Good boss.
The Changes
I am really amazed to see how God works.
Now with the new church starting in Serdang. I'm really excited about it though I do feel sad that I am leaving the TARCians behind. I feel very much for this place I call home for about 4 years now. I want to see something being stirred up in this place. Its been my prayer but somehow I feel that God is going to show me the place like He showed the promise land to Moses. A prayer and desire so strong within.
IGNITE. It was about last year, I think around mid year that I just finish reading the book IGNITE. It stirred me, poked me and certainly challenged me deeply. On fire is the word for it. Not too long after that (like a day or was it a week?) my sis shared with me about the move and I was strucked immediately. Still I was burdened. Wanted to stay. This is my ministry to the TARCians I said. Guess HE has other plans.
However, I know my place. Excited is the word. Can't wait anymore. Don't want to be the back benchers in HIS kingdom. Its time to take action. God is moving I am sure. The church's is back on their knees (the hostelians meet up and pray everyday =)).
This song Everytime I pray is really so real. Don't think the reality will ever end unless the relationship does but I doubt it.
Verse 1
I will come to You in prayer
I will seek Your face
I will stand within the gap
There will I intercede
Chorus:-
For every time I pray
I move the hand of God
My prayer does the things
My hands cannot do
For every time I pray
The mountains are removed
The paths are made straight
And nations turn to you.
2nd verse
I am weak and helpless Lord
You, my strength shall be
Guide me with Your gracious hand
There will my victory be.
Indeed He is my victor. For the mountains in my life He will removed and my path He will make straight. Praise HIM!

So many cross roads in life. Its every single thing. Whether to choose A or B? Be good or naughty? Job? Studies? Lord, wouldn't it be much easier if You just tell me what You want me to do. Sometimes I thank You for the freedom but I will really be happy I guess with whatever You want me to do. So why not You just decide for me.
Vision.... Is my vision dying? Vision is the ability to see it, the faith to believe it, the courage to do it, and the hope to endure until it happens. Take any of these components away and vision fails. Each is vital, and indispensable. Which stage am I at?
I know YOU will lead. So far through out my entire life You have such good track record. Never once You have failed me. If only I can just trust You. Me and my stupid "impatienceness". Cant believe it today You just so filled every passage with words of comfort and also directions. Indeed You will direct my path and make it straight. Praise You for Your everlasting works!
Ok Lord You heard me. The reins are Yours. Sorry ya. =)
