Dear God, give me strength to fight on; with you, all things are possible.

Skaters

Had a wonderful time skating with Sentosa. Eating GUMBALLS that is one of the biggest in size I have ever came across with, as suggested by the font size. You can train your jaw muscles with that man. Which by the way, to be a little more spiritual, I realised that skating sometimes don't defer much with living our spiritual life. With much dilligence, one can gain full reign of thoughts and outward appearance. Having said that; there is no shortcut. Absolutely.

What if time stood still?

Had a wonderful time hanging out with my mum. Had a short meal, talked about the silly stuff when I was young. Then headed to 883 "shop and save"; spent a whole lot of time discussing about the trip to KL and looking through shelves after shelves of new year goods, pointing out the ones which is worth buying for. If given the chance to alter the scope back to 3 years ago, I would find it bothersome and perhaps bored to death. However, amazing as it is, I enjoyed the every single moment spent, as if I had been doing these all along. I enjoyed the complaints she had about my dad, about how the auntie desperately chasing after stamps, prices of goods fluctuating at different seasons. Truth is I don't really know when will my schedule allow me for such a time like this, but I am certain that I will set aside time, to again enjoy this fellowship with my very dear mother once again. In short, this would not be at least possible without God's leadership in my life; to understand what it means to treasure and honour my parents, defying the saying I was taught by friends since young "Respect parents=Nerd" Nonsense. Totally.

Ouch it hurts. again.

If love and trust is all about running a certain risk of getting hurt, one would say that the greatest thing to do is not to apologise, but to accept apologies. By itself, it holds such a significance.

thanks. but no thanks

My end point; That results in my certainty in decision making. I understand that the principle of availing requires of me not to simply just give, but yet at the same time giving up. Learning how to say no to opportunities has been a struggle for me, and it will always be. However, it does not necessarily leave me shaken all the time, but directs to be more clear headed, determined and precise of my decision made.

what did he deserve?

At this very moment, my heart pours out to those who refuses to surrender their lifes onto God. I am simply sick and tired of people who seeks for inspirational moments to sustain their walk with God; knowing that it won't but just to feel at ease. Put up false front by blogposts and simply blinded by the fact that it is centered from a heart filled with nothing but insecurities. Anchoring faith on once-off events, then head back home with a smile and anticipate for good times, then go back to God with a emotionally-wrecked heart, hands sticking out, begging for source of motivation. And to those who thinks that they simply know it all and be ignorant about God's placing in their life, full of themselves, you are no worse.

Start by being appreciative of God's grace, if it is not for that act on the cross, you are now hell-bound. Turn back now, before you return to where you once belong, and start off from scratch again.

Tomorrow is the day

It is all for your glory. ask of your presence to be with me, enable my arms and legs,to do precise waves and accurate turns if this is the way to illustrate it. All these I pray in Jesus name. Amen.

Reveal your weapon now.

To paraphrase Roosevelt, we’d rather be among those who fell – and fell bravely – in the arena, than to be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

I want to at least try today.

iHEARTrevolutions

you still want more?!

If there is one thing that I brought back from service this afternoon, it would be being convinced that God greeds after our heart of surrender.

Greed in a man centered view is a sin, but to God, it is merely a word that describes the extravagant desire he have for it. I poured so much, yet nothing was returned. It was not because I did not surrender enough, but simply did not surrender fully. I finally understand now. Put the understanding aside, I am just dumbstruck. Nights.

Snapshots taken by professional









If you all along had thought that acts of vandalism is only associated with walls and government properties, you are seriously wrong. Take a look below.. Awesome?



Had a long morning, walking miles and miles, up and down the hills, but all the scenes captured in my mind makes it worthwhile. Besides that, I also thank God for the friendship I have with my classmates, especially Edwin. Haha, for those who appreciates nature, this place is really an eye-opener. Kudos (:

Reverence

It sometimes simply means literally looking above, instead of left and right when you are caught up in the crossroads.

New room.Old stuff

This was the before..

After some hours of cleaning and a little hardwork..



Now I have a brand new environment. A space enclosed with four walls I can at least acknowledge that it is my room. The thought of adding new stuffs did cross my mind, but instead of setting priorites, I shall just wait for God to provide. Off to explore my EX4-Manga studio. Kudos (:

His Faithfulness

I left house with my last 5bucks and realised that my EZ-link has no credits left. Which means that I have to go hungry for the entire day. But guess what? After I return back from school, blessings pour in one after another.

#1. $26.50 for bus concession
#2. $3.50 for soya beancurd and kaya toast as seen above
#3. $45.00 even more of books for my sister
#4. $2.20 clam chouder
#5. $1.60 sushi roll [rice ball]

Special thanks to Claire, Haowen and Koksoon this afternoon. Thanks for showing me what it means to be an instrument used by God to cater to other's needs. Not missing out my dear mum and God who never fails to provide. I'm lovin it' Kudos (:

Matthew 6:25-26 (New International Version)

Do Not Worry

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Ending my day of thoughts

Starbucks caramel frappe: not something I can enjoy everyday. It is pretty "naise" to have my sunday afternoon musing over thoughts. Unknowingly, it has become one of my un-kickable habit.

Before I end the day with planning my week and heading home for dinner with my lovely family, here is a light note to all those whose school term is resuming:

Always remind ourselves that we are christians happened to be a student, never the other way round.

[Matthew 15:13-15] Time for the next generation to rise, and show the world what is it means to be a christian. Let's win woodlands for Jesus. Kudos (:

stepping back into the horrfying enviroment

With the magic blink of an eye, school term resumes again tomorrow. Which in turn means; Resuming my ministry: Shepherding and all the planning requires of me heading into wee hours, then again, waking up before the rooster crows. The 3 upcoming major projects. The constant struggle to pick up courage and reach out to the most unlovable friends around.

Disciplining my heart to complete my jobsheet when people are blasting music, skateboarding in class, alternating tabs between Facebook and Photoshop. The list just goes on and on... From witnessing injustice, to gossips, to seeing people smoke in between breaks.

Honestly, I feel so uncertain and insecure yesterday. I went into Nexus with a 1 tonned heart. However as the service progress, God began speaking through the worship and sermon points and it simply blew me away. With the assurance given by God, I am once again convinced of the fact that I'm labelled with an identity as a child of God, called to influence and shine for him.

If there is one thing that I brought back yesterday, I believe it would be the conviction of nuturing the delight to make God famous.

I look forward to defy the temptations that comes charging towards me. God, come come! We do this together okay? haha.

4 keys to how Joshua will kick the 2010 ball rolling.

Heart that is filled with reverence and moral integrity: that will flow and eventually implicate all aspects of my life completely
Mind that seeks after God-centered wisdom and consecrating it for him.
Soul intrigued with constant awareness that he is fighting alongside with me.
Body that chooses to plow the soil instead of blowing the whistle at the sidelines.

obedience vs sacrifice

Why does the word of God says that obedience is more pleasing than a sacrifice?

Sacrifice is anthropocentric; which means it is translated from a man-centered view. With this understanding in mind, sacrifice differs from people to people, age to age and not missing out, the different kind of motivation that compels us. In short; what may seems to be a sacrifice to me might not inflict the same amount of pain as compared to my friends.

However, the truth is this: if we are bent on serving with the motivation by the audience of one, then it doesn't it makes sense to obey the one and only person? Jesus. Which in turns promises you from the most definite instruction to the most wonderful reward?

Furthermore, who says that we can smoke through the crossroads of sacrificing? I honestly believe in this: you can sacrifice without obeying, but you can never fully obey without sacrificing.

God, you are indeed a thinker.

Countdown horror

It was crazy, fun and explosive. Yet at the same time, I simply couldn't accept the fact that I was for thy limelight, proud and constantly putting God's glory at the backseat. All along, I verbalised that dance was for God's glory, but my heart says otherwise. I guess this has truly convinced me even further of my new year resolution; Life of surrender in capabilities. If not, what is the difference between those half-naked guys whom I saw celebrating countdown with alcohol and fighting to impress the row of girls? On one hand it was compassion, on the other was holy discontentment pointed towards the man in my mirror. In short, I see no worth in holding on to my talents without a God-centered motivation. Jesus, take thy wheel.
