..my battle stance..

I miss THIS!!!!

1-3 God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. 4 Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I'm not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd's crook makes me feel secure. 5 You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing. 6 Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.

One of the most memorable meeting I had last year was with one of the senior Indonesian property agent who told me in the most straightforward manner, 'I think your performance was really bad' A good wake up call. That, and God's favor, and friends' favor.. made 2009 a good year for me. Now that I am starting to find my feet in this job, I received another straightforward assessment that I hope.. is equally significant in my growth to the next level this year. 'Dave.. you are a university graduate. I think you really have underestimated yourself if you are only limiting yourself to what you are doing now' It took me some time to digest the words. It's not that it's a waste for a NUS graduate who have endured 4 painstaking years in university to end up in this line. But.. given all that I had, I could have improved more, and become more complete. There has to be a difference. And the words echoed so strongly in my head because.. That's what I have sub

I think I need phone charger inside my car. I can afford to miss one or two turn, but I can't afford losing the connection. Yeah.. somewhat like a relationship. There is time when we are frustrated, because we do not know which way to turn, we can't really read the sign.. and we are not sure how to get to the destination. But as long as we remain connected, as long as we are able to get to the other heart's end.. then it's alright.

Another devotional from my manager ;) Thirsting For God In The Wilderness - Ps 63 1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. David was in the wilderness of Judah where there was no water, no rain and a scorching sun coming down hard on him. He was definitely thirsty for water. But yet he was even more thirsty for God because he knew exactly what to do even in the wilderness ... to thirst for God and glorify Him. Dear God, You allow wilderness in our lives for a reason. Where we have to battle the scorching sun of physical & mental tiredness, feeling of doubts, fears, hopelessness & helplessness, seemingly unending stretch of sand of things to do, we need to continue to thirst for You and to trust in You because this is one of the main reaso

yeah.. amazing morning! ;) was all excited last sunday, and today part of that hope that excited me, took another big blow. but it won't crash. it would remain steadfast ;) I will still praise You.. with all I am

If Aslan represented the immaterial Deity in the same way in which Giant Despair [a character in The Pilgrim's Progress] represents despair, he would be an allegorical figure. In reality however he is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question, 'What might Christ become like, if there really were a world like Narnia and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?' This is not allegory at all. - CS Lewis, Author of the Chronicles of Narnia I respect the spiritual authority of the church preachers but sometimes.. maybe we all need to do proper homework and use some wisdom before we make devil or god out of anything. To claim that Narnia is influenced by the devil or some kind of false god, and without properly introducing (or even studying) the background of the writer, is such.. a.. sad thing..

thank you Jesus for unexpected blessing from a stranger. through the kind heart of mooya who remembered me.. sometimes you chase after a deal like mad and you get nothing in the end. but sometimes you do little and somehow everything is just in place ^^ it feels good. God's favor is.. delicious!! May God's favor be with tomorrow's cases also. Thank you dear.. for working harder than I did =P Indeed two is better ^^

I have decided to stop chasing. I will rest in His cares.. Trust in His heart.. Just be still. He's GOD. Yes.

What moves our heart? What excites us in a way that cause us to quickly tweet, or facebook, or blog about it? What kind of email that.. got us on our feet and hit the reply button straight away? Think about it.. In truth.. we are not really interested in God. we are only interested to know.. what's in it for us?

how convenient it is to have it anytime you want it. and to cast it aside anytime you feel like it. oh well.. the 7 habit guru was right after all. he said: we judge others by their behavior and we judge ourselves by our intention.

Thanks to kuya for sharing this video. The question is not.. whether it's okay to be rich as Christian. The question is.. whether.. we can be most satisfied in Him.. in the midst of loss? That's how God is most glorious in us. But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ Phil 3:7-8
