The Day God called me. .

     On the 1st Sept 2013, this is the day that I do not want to forget. I am in my last semester of study in UWA. I was wandering like Jonah (bible character), planning to escape from the 6 years bond with the Government. I have lot's of plan that I would like to do. I could recall, when I was in my primary school years, I've planned which secondary school to go to. In my high school years, while most of my cohorts were waiting for the SPM result last time, there I was studying in MMU already even before the actual result was out. To plan ahead, it's just part of me.
  
     However, today, while I was listening to Jason Wong's sharing, the Senior Director of Rehabilitation, Protection & Residential Services Division of Singapore, God spoke so clearly to my spirit. He is a mighty man of God, the founder of the Yellow Ribbon project and many more. Back to my story, while he preached, I can't help myself but to tremble and fill my face with tears and mucus. Every verse that he spoke, it just like a confirmation, the Holy Spirit actually spoke to me ahead of Him. Although I came from a charasmatic background, I don't encounter the touch of Holy Spirit that strong personally in my life. To be frank, he is a humurous preacher, everyone else was laughing while he preached. Here am I, sitting at the front three rows, trembling and bursting into tears. He shared about how important a father is to the family and a lot of people ended up in prison are from broken families. One of the similarities that prisoners shared is that they are mostly fatherless or have a bad earthly father.
   
     While he was preaching, I felt the same burden which is to see restoration in family bonding. God has a great plan for Malaysians. God wants to restore family relationship especially. There are too many broken families out there in our society. God wants to turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers. Every social problems that he mentioned, I could vision the cry of those helpless children. I just wept throughout his sharing. At the end of service, I was prompted to ask for the double portion of anoiting, like Elisha did, from him. Honestly speaking, I would not want it. But God has called me, I just told him as it is. He did it willingly and asked me to read about the story of Moses and Jeremiah. He gave me his card and took a photo with me. He mentioned that even his visit spoke to just one single person, he thinks that is all worth it. I reassured him that I am really blessed to hear from him and God has used him to call "Jonah" back.
    
     For those who are seeking for God's plan and guidance, let me tell you this, He honours your prayer. He will definitely lead every step of yours. While I am planning for my future, I always have this in mind, my plan is always 'nonsense' compares to His. Last time, I planned to study in MMU, but God stepped in and opened door for me to study overseas. In hindsight, I know for sure that it is all of His Grace that I could boast about. After experiencing His goodness, I could not believe I planned to run away from my six year bonds. However, he stepped in and brought me back to His plan and purpose. Now, I know He plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. "The same goes to you, who are His beloved children."
   
     So 'Great plan in mind'??? 'Running away from God'??? 'Hidding somewhere'??? 'Take the easy way out '??? Aha, God will send his messenger and bring you back to His plan. I know he will.
May “The Lord bless you and keep you;
        The Lord make His face shine upon you,
        And be gracious to you;
        The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
        And give you peace.”’ Numbers 6:24-26
All Glory to Jesus!

318

The day has finally arrived.

It's a new chapter of my life. I woke up early and went to church, instead of taking a public transport, God answered my prayer, I drove my friends to church. Yup, that's my first car, HONDA ODYSSEY. It's a miracle that I could get this car from the consulate general of Malaysia. It looks new, stable and reliable. I love it, Thank you ma, thanks, dad. That's the coolest present.^^


What comes next? Lunch, of course. And not forgetting a cup of CHOCOLATE MINT ICE BLENDED, at San Churro.


.
























After that, I visited Kings' Park and took a nap. Wow, it's one of the most enjoyable things to do in Perth. Something interesting that happened to me, I discovered my socks were covered by tonnes of ants when I got up from my nap. Argh!!!

On 318, it's a day to remember, as I got my first job in Australia. Although it's not really a cool job, I enjoyed myself. I came back around 7pm, took a bath, then I have dinner with my housemates.

At night, I skyped with my mum and brother. They shared about the process of the making of my 21st birthday video, I really appreciate all my family members (extended family members), it's really to cool to have them as part of my life. Thank God for such a wonderful and God-fearing family.

As for the presents I received - belt, wallet, video, bottle of stars, bookmark, 'BORN RICH' t-shirt, the "polluted" journal/planning book, etc. Tell u what, I love them all. And allow me to tell u this, friends, to know u as my friend(s), it's already the best gift I received from my heavenly father. I sincerely would like to share this love of Christ with u. Jesus loves U! Me too.

318 - the day I was born. 2012 - a year of unceasing fruitfulness.

Life

Life is like "The Amazing Race",
it is about overcoming obstacles that may have seemed impossible.

However, when we put God first in our life,
'G'od will lead the race.
Now, add a "G" in front of the word "race"
and this is what we call "The Amazing Grace".

Hope u have been blessed.^^

True Love

Those who can't wait for true love and eager to ...(censored)...
are like "warriors without brain".
They ended up
in the wrong place,
hurting others,
inured themselves,
killing the innocent,
aren't they???

Emotional Excellence

Praise God, I have finished reading the book "Emotional Excellence" written by DR Leornad Yong.

Dr. Leonard Yong is an international consultant who has trained and consulted in many countries. He is an Educational Psychologist. Prior to his retirement as Professor, University of Malay's Department of Educational Psychology @ Counselling, he taught for mare than 20 yeas in the University of Malay. He was also the pioneering Director of the University Malaya. He was also the pioneering Director of the University Malaya Centre for Continuing Education (UMCCED). By applying the LEONARD Model in leading and managing the UMCCED, UMCCED became a self-financing educational enterprise.

I attended his talk with Mr.Wong (Economics Lecturer) and a few of my friends. What that really attracted my attention is the "TENT". Basically, "TENT" is a special kind of therapy that protects the spirit and mind from the elements of the outside world. TENT also can be considered as a practice.

T- Thanksgiving Attitude
E- Enjoy the now as your conscience permits you
N- No coincidence
T- Thankfulness to Creator God

Benefits of practicing TENT:
~ Royal relationship with Creator God
~ Reconciliation with enemies
~ Recompense others more readily

From my perspective, by practicing the TENT, one is able to turn negative thinking to positive.
Change the whole situation from bad to good.^^

Duration of each TENT: Approximately 10 mins

Step 1
Thanksgiving attitude
Begin by recalling a pleasant memory and dwell on it. This enables you to switch from a negative mood to a positive mood. Make this memory brighter in your imagination. Make it bigger on the screen of your imagination. Make any sounds or music or noise associated with the memory to be louder and clearer.

Step 2
Enjoy the now as your conscience permits you.
Continue by enjoying the present in a genuine, wholesome way. Enjoyment of the present is a vital mental habit that can enrich the spirit; for the mind is the doorway to the spirit, and a healthy spirit. Say to yourself, "It's now 9am. (or whatever time). I've this present moment as a gift of Creator God. I am thankful for this moment. I don't need to be anxious of fearful of tomorrow or the future."

Step 3
No coincidence
Remind yourself that life has no coincidence. Remind yourself in the next few minutes of quiet meditation that there are no coincidences or accidents in life. If God has permitted an event - even a negative one that was partly or largely caused by you - you can learn to accept it and move on. Let go of the past and any oppressive memory of past failures or defeats.

Step 4
Thankfulness to Creator God
In the same few minutes, declare joyfully to God your gratefulness for all the blessings he has showered upon you. Be thankful for all the things that you have, enjoy them and do not covet those that you don't. Give thanks to God for our health. Thank Him for your family. Continue to thank God for all aspects of your life.

BY performing it on a regular basis everyday, we can help stimulate the release of "ENDORPHINS" in larger quantities at a higher frequency. Endorphins are so so important...(*do your own research about it) Scientifically proven!^^

Finally, for my christian and yet-to-be christian friends, there are some verses below which related to the TENT that you might find it useful:

T

Psalm 100:4-5 (New International Version)

⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.

⁵ For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

E

Matthew 6:34 (New International Version)

³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

N

Romans 8:28 (New International Version)

More Than Conquerors

²⁸And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

T

Colossians 3:15-17 (New International Version)

¹⁵Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. ¹⁷And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Hope you have been Blessed!^^
