Precious Corner
Listening to "Precious Corner" (Zui Zheng Gui De Jiao Luo) by SOP, and suddenly I realize that I don't know whom that 'precious corner' refer to anymore... I don't have it anymore... and God, I want...

Single-Minded
I was listening to Edmun Chan's sermon "Single Minded" on my way back home yesterday. So I was very convicted that I've been in that category of a double-minded Christian. Somehow, on fire for God, but double-minded; simply want God but also any other things.
And having realizing this, I guess my greatest need of life in my this point of life is: To be a single-minded christian, to focus on and pursuing that of the things of the Kingdom of God, things that really matter. Only then, my whole life will be changed. Direction will be there, excitement will be there, passion will be there. Forgive me, Lord, for my double-mindedness all these while, and please help me to train my eyes to focus on You and Your things only.
Matthew 622
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
In it's original language, it's actually "if your eyes are single" (which is stated in KJV).
Another quote that I got from e sermon was:
"Not to have is alright, because I'd rather have it in God's time" [Edmund Chan]
Excited to listen to the next half of the sermon later on the way going home again...
Speak to me, Lord...

Mentor?
This was what I wrote on Sun, 21 Feb 10 nite, when I was lying on my bed, about to sleep but had a terrible sleeplessness.
I think I need a mentor. Because it's really not healthy of me to keeping everything by myself. And I'm not a type who can easily and comfortably telling things to anyone.This keeping things by myself all these while has really shown its symptoms. Sometimes out of sudden I could just feel sooo heavy burdened (like now) that I could hardly breathe and heart beat increases. It's like too many things inside me and it's going to explode.
And I think this need become more necessary as I'm starting a role as a leader. Even now I've started seeing how not easy being a a leader is. When Sue told me how angry n upset she is over her family situation, it really ached my heart badly too, and also brought back all those similar experience that I had before.
I dunno whether this' just a thought or something that I really have to work on, as in, I dunno how ready I am to be mentored and to have a mentor. But yes, I guess I'm gonna put down myself, seek help and be helped, and learn to share out the real me, to a mentor? or may be just to someone whom God sends to me. So, I shared this with the prayer group last nite (my first time joining them - HC, Joy, Jac, Nic, Sue). As I was sharing, I came to realize too that my unstability and uncertainties til now are partly because of that too, because I have no one to talk too, to advise me, to help me see from another angle.

Our God is Far Greater
“Our God is far greater than words can make known,
Exalted and holy, He reigns on His throne.
In infinite splendor He rules over all;
Yet He feeds the poor sparrows, and He knows when they fall.
He rides the wild heavens, He strides thro’ the seas;The high mountains tremble to hear His decrees.
His voice with great thunderings sounds from above;
But to His own children He whispers His love.
His power is great and will ever endure,
His wisdom is peaceable, gentle, and pure.
But greater than all these glories I see,
Is the glorious promise that He cares for me.”
[Can't find the title, author of this song]

Rumor... Is it necessary?
A reminder to myself and whoever reading this:
Ketika tergoda untuk menyebarkan cerita buruk tentang orang lain, pertimbangkanlah: Apakah cerita itu benar? Apakah itu berguna? Apakah itu menggugah semangat? Apakah itu perlu? Apakah itu baik? Jika tidak, lebih arif apabila kita menutup mulut.
[When we are tempted to spread a rumour (something bad bout others), consider this: Is the story true? Is it useful? Is it encouraging? Is it necessary? Is it good? If not, it's wiser to shut our mouth]
APABILA ANDA TIDAK MENYEBARKAN FITNAH ORANG LAIN TIDAK AKAN DAPAT MENERUSKANNYA --Charles Swindoll
[IF YOU DON'T SPREAD RUMOUR ABOUT OTHERS, OTHERS WON'T BE ABLE TO PASS IT ON - Charles Swindoll]

Beautiful Christian Woman
A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.

Stubborn...
I really think that I'm so stubborn and I can't think of any reason why God can still be patience with me. But God.. sometimes I just dunno how to "decide" and start with action, not only saying yes.
