Leaders, Do not block the way.

Since commitment is best developed in adversity, do not come to a point in your leadership where you dock your ship in the harbor and decided to take a break. In our context, it may be making decisions like eg. "How about we stop outreach for just a lil while and lay the foundations properly first" Why is that so? Foundations can never be fully grasp even in stormy waves, let alone in thy still winds. Have some takeaway food in your storehouse, set sail and head towards the next destination.

*Thoughts that came while I was shitting. Astounding.

Just two tins and a piece of string

God extended his form of communication to mankind in various ways since the first time man's foot stepped dust. He could verbally communicate with humans at first; that refering to Adam and Eve. However his intentions were no longer possible as men began to indulge in sin, to the point he could hardly draw near, let alone speaking to us. For his nature of holiness contradicts evil and sins.

Yet, he has never once cease to pursue us, all this while.

Romans 5:8 (New International Version)

8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

When is the last time you desired to communicate with God, leaning back to back, feeling his breath? Count your blessings today.

On the sidenote, I am dead sure Russell Lee is a believer of Christ.

A card deck has 4 suits

They are usually obvious, talented and well-liked. They pursue power and authority, and remain high above or else, if not maintain it at all expense. These people are also the easiest to be threatened, insecure when they are being challenged. Stubborn by nature; which may be a positive or negative attribute subjected to the course. They direct, command and advise. They provide a sense of security with their firmness in attitude and behaviour. However, these are also the ones that will recgonised in their cliques or from afar, for people will admire their decisiveness. Burst a balloon beside their ear and they turn agressive. They are the spade people.

Some people rely strongly on relations to survive. They are usually subjected to spade people, though they compliement one another's need in different aspects. They are emotional, cautious in dealing with life. However, these are also the people who serve as a bond, to bridge the gap between all indifference found in the 4 suits. They are vibrant, thoughtful if not otherwise. They love to express their thoughts through different forms of communications, and 1 of the 5 love languages. Burst a balloon beside their ears and they will smile awkardly at you. They are the hearts people.

Some lifes live on the other extreme of the spectrum, which is passing through static motions. They do not mind the norms, reacts to changes, but these are also the people who constantly finds themselves struggling with keeping up to the expectations and draw themselves back into the shell when no available alternatives are presented to them. In the end, they settle for whatever that is present, loathe the past and ignore the future. However, they are trustworthy partners who serves as the strongest pillars and shelter when you need them. Burst a ballon beside their ear and they will give you no respond. They are the clubs people.

They can be all of the above. They possess a unexplainable vibe in their character and able to draw attention very quickly. They are vulnerable by nature, but able to regenerate wounds quickly. Usually, they are the ones who initiates friendship and test waters. Snap their relational strings on the left, you find them tying back on the right. They love to spend time with love ones and create sparks of excitement. However, when they are called play too many roles, they smile at the expense of their personal emotional tank. Hold a masquerade party, they will be there. Their nickname is Rey Mysterio. Burst a balloon beside their ears and they will burst another on yours the next minute. They are the diamond people.

The church plays a role of a joker the world. Be all of it, win all of it.

Exploration brings revelations

As the saying goes, "never be a jack of all traits but master of none"

This line fought hard with me and constantly make it's irriating apperance to obstruct my thoughts. But in conclusion, if I were to put Dance on the right side of weighing balance and Djing on the left, (both passion that is all on a equal level), I will tilt the left and make it slightly heavier for now; in full confidence that God will provide other avenues for me if dance should go on.

But it does not necessary mean my heart is closed to Godly advice or alternatives. If he opens the door, I will walk it. In short, I am assured that as long as I constantly stay obedient to him, my calling will be revealed with baby steps.

Food for thoughts

Never adopt a style that is able to conquer unrepentance. The "sarcastic" acceptance of consequences does not allow room for the continuation of wrongdoings.

When line meets line

Stand firm in the middle of a small white box.
Because where sin lies is where the lines stop.

Beware of them, for it paves the way to the top.
It may not seem so, but take it and you'll drop.

What can we do but to await for the clearance of the fog,
to stand patiently till his hand delivers us from on top;
back to where we once belonged.

Sin, at the end is just a small white box.

Everyone has a dragon

Just returned back from a refreshing sabbath with God.

Extracted from a Cressida Cowell's novel. Hiccup, a clumsy son of the Viking tribe chief had always aspire to become a " true viking" by carrying their belifes; Dragons were pest and were to be hunted down. He longed to enter the dragon combat training to win the honour of killing the first dragon with the entire village as the witness. However the tables turned when befriend Nightfury, a mystical dragon that he shot down by chance one night during a sudden dragon invasion. He realised he could not even lay the knife on a wounded dragon because of compassion. Due to the secret friendship he shared with "Toothless", a name he gave to Nightfury, his knowledge of dragons brought him to excel in dragon combat training to the amazement of his friends.

As the plot gradually unfold, he became sandwiched between performing to his father's high expectation and kill the fiery dragon in the ring with sword and shield; or to persist in his love for dragons by taming it with sincerity. Finally because of his steadfast convictions, he moved the hearts of the vikings and the show ended with the entire village acceptance for the dragons.

Nightfury: Humans
Hiccup: Jesus
Vikings: Pharisees
Giant Parasite Dragon: Devil

Another leap of understanding

One thing we should never do is to request changing seats with God to take the steering wheel. He will definitely complie, because he is a gentleman; but chances are you will fall badly. Cause his love is too heavy for you to balalnce.

Nightmare

It has been a long time since I had a nightmare at such a extend; It kept me deeply engaged that I couldn't wake up at all. Insane.

I found myself in a sealed room, in the middle of 90's street with few detectives and friends.; Joan was a detective! A mass murder case took place there few hours ago. The room had stale air and an eerie atmosphere. Apparently, there were splashes of fresh blood on the grey walls being washed away and corpses were carried out as we talked. It seemed that I was one who had certain level of authority in the team.

The room had no furnitures, but a bathtub and a kitchen. I assumed the men who were doing the cleaning on the walls were people who manages toxic and chemicals, because for some reason, they were dressed in full white-couloured suit; astronaut? At that moment, I felt goosebumps in my dream and we left the place concluding that it had evident links with an ongoing serial-killer case.

Next moment I found myself in contact with a girl. I was entasked with the repsonsibility of protecting her all around the clock. Perhaps she was the next target whom we assumed to be. She works in a office and returns back not to a home but a motel located in the middle of a yellow lighted street. I followed closely behind her in the empty street, till she reached the stairs of her motel and bid her farewell for that day. However, she requested for me to sleep over at her apartment for the night in fear that she will be attacked. With obligations and no house in my dream, I accepted and thank her for the invitation.

I am unable to recall the identity of the girl although I am certain that she is in my circle of friends. Her features; long hair and had similar skin colour as myself. That's all I could remember! Nothing happened that night and I found myself in another scene again.

Sunlight was blazing and glaring. I was in my roller blades when I saw a figure at the distance, similar to the suspect I witnessed before in another scene in my dream. The place had big panels of windows on my left, and behind the windows was a huge building, and outside the building was a open sea with family and kids playing. On my right, it was open sunny afternoon sky shaded by a wall with beautiful italics carvings. Behind the wall had a slightly higher ground, that can be accessed through steps located somewhere at the middle.

Upon seeing the man at a distance, my instincts immediately directed me to hide behind the wall. I found myself breathing softly, crouching low, attempting to peep at him. [The process of walking up the steps didn't happened, I just teleported up] With a closer look, he had a "magician hat" - which I don't suppose it is deemed as uncommon in those days, with a black tux and long black pants. On his hands were a pair of binoculars, scouting around the opposite building. After several minutes, he walked down the steps. I was certain that he was indeed the wanted criminal we were searching for, but wasn't sure if it was wise to apprehend him alone, considering the probability of success rate.

It was then something amusing happened. I saw Sean Poh and James Wong through the carvings of the wall. They saw me too, and understood my intentions. As the man approached towards Sean's directions, we kept in communication with simple sign languages. Finally, since I was on the higher ground, we decided to ambush him. I bladed my way down and he immediately realised he was trapped in between his predators. He dashed through the crowd, into the building as I chased after him. To my amazement, my blading skills improved so much in my dream, like Shenda. He made his way hurridly into the open sands and in desperation attempted to swim a short distance across the waters to another island.

The crowd and onlookers was both confused and shocked at the drama as I took out my blades and swam after him. I dived into the waters, caught him by the collar and pulled some punches. I dragged him back unto the sands and saw him face to face. Gosh, his identity literally shocked me, leaving me speechless. I held him by the neck and began questioning him with loud shouts,

"Why did you kill so many people?!" (I could question him dirctly then, because I knew him well. He was a insecure believer that backslided years ago and had subjected to bully and laughters in school)

He replied me subconciously, both with a laugh and confused look which totally left me disgusted. "For.. fun?"

The case was closed since, and found myself next moment, teaching about the understanding of prayers to my unit in Youth camp. The people present in my unit were unexpected. Faces that I am able to recall in my fingertips were people like Ritchell and Lucas. With a concensus made, in a prayer point which I have forgotten what is it, we dismissed. Everyone mingled around as usual before suddenly going into panic mood; some ran into the hallway and some shouted " He is back!"

My dream ended after seeing a group of power rangers like figure discussing amongst themselves how to go about dealing with traitors in their team. Hello irony.

Dreams are simply so amazing. The pictures that flashes across your head sometimes are so real and able to give you authentic feelings of creeps and warmth at the right moment.

Lesson learnt

Treat others with your heart, rule yourself with your head. Grace is sometimes best not given to oneself in the face of temptations.

In addition, I made a solemn promise to God in my prayers; Never wanting to use whatever God has given me to take it, and turn back against him. I experience his love once again. It feels so good.

Tear the veil with the sword of grace

I want to dedicate this poem to one of my very good friend: Weekiat.

DARKNESS IS BEHIND ME

I was a desperate junkie in a foreign land,
Before I was comforted by His hand.
Alone and scared in this evil place,
I turned to a man of a different race.

He was recommended to me by a good friend,
"Satisfy Him and your quest for drugs will end."

My friend was right; He fulfilled all that I craved,
But there was always a price for what He gave.
He gently told me to drop to my knees,
Then whispered "close your eyes; prepare to receive."

"My God help me," I screamed up at the sky,
But with the darkness behind me I began to cry.
Sobbing into the pillow, I felt so ashamed,
That this dark passage into me had become so inflamed.

Just like that the pain disappeared,
I was left feeling content but a little bit weird.
"See that wasn’t so bad," He said to me,
"If your need for drugs returns,
and find a need for great release, call unto me,
same place, same fee!"

Let us fight as if we are more than conquerors today.
