All Walks of Life

I was supposed to post this last week but again, was too busy to do so.

A, is aged 45. He was borned in a Christian family and had been a devoted a Christian. He has relatives who are Pastors and used to wake up every morning to pray to Jesus. He claimed that he had never been to pubs and clubs during university days. He used to be active in Church. As for now, he is a successful businessman who attends a small Church. He does not serve in Church actively anymore but he goes to Church every Sunday.

B, is aged 34. She was a Buddhist and throughout her life she has been trying to look for answers. A born-again Christian, who had experienced God's grace in her life. She shares good testimony about what God did in her life, and has a heart to continue to seek God.

C, a Manager for a shoe company. He has just received Christ recently and is very excited about his new faith.

Last week, I met these three [3] people and they asked me if I am a Christian when they saw the cross that I am wearing. Their story touched me and reminded me of my own life.

When I first started attending Church back at six [6] years old. I was quiet and shy, and did not dare to join the older children to play but at the same time, I liked to go to Church and listen to Bible stories. When I saw C, I saw myself at primary school. I would be excited when I meet with people who have the same faith as myself and would feel a sudden closeness (because we are family in God's eyes).

When I saw B, I saw myself in secondary school and college days. I was active in Church and love the fellowship amongst the Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I would talk to Jesus and write in my small little diary about how I feel and what He had done in my life.

As for A, well, I am not like him, because I still go to Church, and I still serve in Church but at the same time, I have also become the "not cool, not hot" kind of Christian. I remember a leader told us before, if we are " not cool, not hot", we are considered as sinners because, we are to be "hot" for Jesus. It is "either or", and not somewhere in between.

Lord, please forgive me for my sins and help me to go through this stage. I need Your grace and mercy to relieve me from this struggle and I pray for Your wisdom and guidance to lead me through the whole journey. I long for Your presence and may my life have a breakthrough. I cast my life unto You and surrender all the aspects in my life unto Your hands. Jesus, I need You and I pray hard that You would open my heart to seek You, and only You in my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

August's Activities =)

In a blink of an eye, today is 8th August, 2011. This is a month allocated for family gathering because three [3] family members have their birthday on this month. My parents [24th August] and my second brother [20th August].

I went to AG Chambers for interview and AG told me that children tend to neglect their fathers. I said that is not the case. He then asked me when is my father's birthday, I answered; then he asked me when's my mother's birthday, I answered. Thereafter he commented that I could remember my father's birthday because he shares the same birthday date as my mother, and I beg to differ, of course ~ LOL.

My eldest brother has booked a karaoke room for all of us on 27th August, 2011. So, that is the day for our family gathering :)

August is also a month to travel =)

I will be going to Kuantan to visit a Brother-in-Christ who is doing his internship there at this moment, with a group of Church friends. I have never been to Kuantan and initially, I just thought that this would be the time for me to rest and relax, and I did not have much expectation on this trip.

I was searching online for information about this place and one place attracted my attention: Sungai Lembing. I found out that there are a number of interesting places there and one of it, the museum. Well, I do not have a very good memory but I love to go to museums, just to have a look and feel the history. I remember the last museum I visited was in Kuching, and I enjoyed learning about the Chinese culture.

When a girl friend told us that she might not be going, I was a little disappointed; as I was keen on this trip and would love to explore the place. Aha ~ I know there is not much things to explore at Kuantan, but I think for a person who seldom travels like me, would love to explore every opportunity that comes along.

I did not want to go if I am the only female, because it would cause inconvenient to my guy friends (at least I thought so). I am quiet and introvert, not too adventurous, not too active, not interested in guys' interests such as football, business, politics et cetera; so my first thought was: What am I going to do with the guys? Would they feel comfortable? Do I need to stay alone? Would it be easier for them to plan if it is a guys' trip? et cetera

Anyway, I am going now! I have found a female companion to go with me ^ ^

I was thinking, if at the end of the day there is no female going, would I still join the trip?

I think the answer is yes, because I really wanted to go to the place :p

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

August is also the month Malaysia celebrates our freedom and independence!

My very good sister, Swee Zhi, will be coming back from Singapore ^ ^

Oh, what a coincidence! I am going to Singapore to visit her on Malaysia Day! Haha ~

Haha, actually I am supposed to share some deep feelings today but it turns out to be this. So, these are my activities in August ~ GO! GO! GO! =))

I [ ] You

I was supposed to post this last month but was too busy to do so. Actually wanted to post about something else today, but thought of finishing the unfinished work :)

I [   ] You

One day, a friend of mine posted on FB and asked us, what is the missing word between "I" and "You" that would make you feel touched?

Well, I was a bit tired and bored that day so decided to give a reply. The first word that came to my mind was ~ "need". LOL, this is not too creative I guess because someone has already put that word. So I needed to put on my thinking cap and think again, alas ~ trust! So I replied my comment.

I think there are a lot of words that can be filled in, amongst others:-

LOVE

MISS

NEED

TRUST

BELIEVE 

SUPPORT

HELP

APPRECIATE

ADMIRE

GIVE

FORGIVE

HUG

LIKE

CHOOSE

PAMPER

KISS

ENCOURAGE

NOTICE

FOUND

CARESS

FAVOUR

REMEMBER

KNOW

OFFER

WANT

LISTEN (to)

BE (with)

CARE (for)

WAIT (on / for)

COUNT (on)

HOLD (onto)

FALL (for)

STAND (by)

Well, the above are just few words that I could think of =) Some may need more words to be filled in to have a touchy feeling :P
