Meaningful Mornings

There's something about waking up 0500 in the morning.

Where you sit in the train, watching the sky get brighter station by station. Where you see sleepy heads flying in all directions. When you see throngs of people inpatiently waiting for the next connecting train, each carrying a face that suggest the emptiness of mind behind the facade. The routine that they face everyday yet carry out faithfully.

Well they don't really have much a choice. But somehow, you stand out. Along the way, you can't help but ponder over the rationale of your actions. But as you get closer to your destination, you find more people like yourself, each carrying a uniqueness in their disposition.

And you all converge at a common peripheral location, streaming into a humble auditorium; so spacious yet so saturated. You step in and you sense something overwhelming. And you marvel at the majesty.

Thats when you know "I'm here for a reason".

For Richer or Poorer?

If God gave you $1 for every POSITIVE comment u made about someone, and took $1 away for every NEGATIVE comment; Would YOU be RICHER or POORER?

Phenomena-ed

Just got back from Camp Phenomena. Man was it awesome. Really learnt alot, and the incredibly late nights taught me how to depend on God. Quote from several campers (at 4am in the morning) : "this camp really not by our strength, but by God's strength."

Anyway, team Asher and Red house realli rocked. Special mention for Shaun Lee, Afred and XiaoShi for their hard work to make the most of our skit and cheers =) Though we did not win any awards, I believe we all felt that we did a really good job. Its not the awards, its the friendships. The whole camp experience was topped with a little surprise at the end. I really did not expect it, but i guess its a mark of a beginning for more exciting things to come =)

 

During one of the sessions, there was a little skit by our very own members, adapted from the following. It really moved me to tears.

Though its very different from watching it live, i hope it touches you they way it touched me. =)

Tommorrow.

I wanna mug like I've never mugged before.

However, the mind is willing but the flesh is weak.

Been about some Maths and Econs, but i cant bring myself to touch the dust-laden stack of geography. *fliches*

Well for a start, i read through some lecture slides from 06 and i have this as my wallpaper:

Now say Awesome!

The kids are gonna be back from Aussie soon. I said I was gonna mug so hard that it would be impossible for them to catch up.

Well i'll see that happen tommorrow.

The Duck & the Devil

I don't normally open chain mails. But somehow, the spirit just led me to read this one.

The Duck & the Devil

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.

He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.  He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.
Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.  As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.

Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.

After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes'
But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.'
Then she whispered to him, 'Remember the duck?'
So Johnny did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.'
Sally just smiled and said, 'Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help'
She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?'  So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

After several day of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.

Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.'

Thought for the day and every day thereafter?

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) ..whatever it is...You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.

He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.

When Jesus died on the cross; he was thinking of you!
It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today.
Share this with a friend and always remember:
God is at the window!

Im so glad i opened it. What an awesome story right? Such a good analogy. Would you make a decision and confess to Grandma today?
