Nuts!

I've been busy with the workload from university and also other stuff. Other stuff includes loafing around, watching dvds (after a long fast) and travelling (to and from Sitiawan). Arghhhhhh!!! I have to complete my IT Law assignment before I leave for the Cameron Highlands this saturday morning for a retreat. Assignment is due next thursday. I'm not worried but I'm just wondering if I can finish typing 2500 words of arguementative essay by friday nite....hmmmm...maybe 1500 would be more realistic, hahaha. Praying hard for wisdom and knowledge to do this one and the rest.

Rejoice

His kingdom never fail,
He rules o'er eart and heaven,
The keys of death and hell,
Are to our Jesus given,
He sits at God's right hand,
Till all His foes submit,
And bow to His command,
And fall beneath His feet,
Lift up your heart,
Lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice.

Charles Wesley

"Ring of Fire''

Earthquakes after eartquakes...now it is volcanoes after volcanoes! What is going on? Certainly we do not know the time of His second coming but we must still be on guard. The other day it was reported that the Mount Talang volcano is put on high alert and now two more, Anak Krakatoa off Sumatra's southern tip and Tangkuban Perahu in west Java province has been declared by the authorities to be active citing a build up of gas inside the peaks and increase in volcanic eruptions. I'm not trying to scare anyone. I don't have the intention. I only want to point out that these events are happening and it is pointing towards something. In the book of Mark it is recorded that this generation will certainly not pass away until all these thins have happened. Are we the generation mentioned in the Bible?

Thou

Just and holy is Thy name,
I am all unrighteouness,
Vile and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.

Thousands flee...

Thousand flee...Last night as I was listening to the prime news on TV3 while reading the newspaper it suddenly struck me as I heard the newscaster reporting on the possible eruption of a volcano in Sumatra. Earthquakes after earthquakes...Does it all coincide with what Jesus prophesied? What are we experiencing here? The end times? Certainly all these phenomenon that is happening cannot be a cause for rejoicing but trembling. Should we pack our bags and flee like the Indonesians living near the volcano? No! never! unless God has called you to. I believe we as missionaries should all pray vigilantly and seek God for help and guidance. I pray that God will provide me opportunities to share the gospel in the very fear-filled days. People around you should know of Jesus rather than perish. They must hear the good news and not be filled with fear regarding what is going on but look to God as their only hope. Eternal life

Reaching out...going on

Well, just before I handed in my assignment this afternoon I met a friend whom I've not chatted with for some time. Charlene is her name. Really nice girl. I used to fetch her to uni everyday but not anymore. We chatted and some how the topic on end times was brought up. Oh now I remember, it came about when she asked me if I believed that angels and devils exist. So this was how the story started. I'll spare you the details of the entire conversation. Basically, I had the chance to at least let her know who God is and why Jesus died for us. Also I asked her where would she think she'll go if she dies? She doesn't know...saying she'll think about it later. When later I asked. I just wish my friends and those I share with will see the urgency to know Christ. I do hope I get more opportunitites to share with her and many more in uni. As God is moving we must also move along. We can't afford to be left behind. We can't be too comfortable with what ever that we already have. Shouldn't we strive for more, for something greater...I know we are taught to be content with the things we already have but how can we improve if we don't strive to reach greater hights? Having visions, missions and goals to achieve is like fueling a raging fire thats within me to achieve things. I desire so much, wanting to do so much. In God I put my trust. In Him I find my success and He satisfies all of my needs.

I've always thought 24 hours was enough for a day. NO! I was wrong. Not really...maybe it only applies when there are date lines to chase. Ya, I guess so. Well, just before I wanted to blame it on time as being insufficient for me to complete my work. Oh, you must see the date lines I must meet. It is ridiculous! Hmmm...I can't complain that 24 hours isn't enough. It is more than enough or rather sufficient for us to complete our chores for the day. Guess, careful scheduling of time will be able to solve this problem. I do hope it will. Then again I always wish I have more time to play. Life of a playful person. Always thinking of having fun. This semester will really be a test for me as I have assignments due almost every week with some weeks 2 assignments due on the same day until the end of May, THOUGH LIFE but EXCITING and CHALLENGING. I get so fired up when I'm challenged. I pray for God to give me strength so that I can continue running this race.

AMAZING!!!!!

"Of dumb blonds and busybodies"

ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy

I guess the person who came up with this equations are rather dumb. Marriage is the union of two souls-a wonderful event in life and should only happen once in a life time. Pregnancy is the beginning of a life long-joyful-"interesting" blessing.


HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED:
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs
and cackling, telling me,
"You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to
them at funerals.

This is hilarious- =(+) but it is also a little disrespectful I would think.

Should Evangelicals Honor Pope John Paul II?

http://www.crosswalk.com/faith/1322246.html

I think this would be controversial to some but nonetheless this is an interesting article about the facts that surrounds the differences in the churches today. Take a look at the article. God bless.

Time

Have you ever wondered when will you be a grown up? or have you ever wondered when is the best time to do a certain thing? Sometimes or rather quite often I wonder when is it time for this and for that. Many a times I just wouldn't know the right time. Most of the time I would be doing something at the wrong time. Doing something at the wrong time means bearing the consequences of it. Sometimes I feel like giving up whereas sometimes I'm motivated to move on. Thankfully the latter prevails more often. Why so? I'm glad and grateful to God for His WORD. In the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 3 it says there is a time for everything. So when is your time to do something...or when is the time for something to happen?

Ecclesiastes 3
1
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; 7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; 8 A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace. 9 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? 10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. 12 I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13 and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor--it is the gift of God. 14 I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. 15 That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past.

16 Moreover I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, Wickedness was there; And in the place of righteousness, Iniquity was there. 17 I said in my heart, "God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work." 18 I said in my heart, "Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals." 19 For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity. 20 All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust. 21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth? F4 22 So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

Sprint

Today is the second time I've ever rushed back to Subang to attend classes. I intended to come back yesterday evening but I didn't feel like doing so. You know that particular feeling that makes you uneasy, as if something bad is going to happen, and I could hear my own heart beating so loudly in me. Well, it rained cats and dogs at 4pm sharp, the time I intended to depart. So maybe that was why I didn't feel like going back...I hate it when it rains when I have or plan to do something. During the journey, I think there were about 2-3 accidents. I guess these people must be very tired and might have fallen asleep while driving, it could have happened to me too but thank God nothing major happened. Ah!!! I'm thinking of food, well last weekend in Sitiawan was all about foooooood!!! Thinking of food and later enjoying the process of consuming every single bit of it is just the remedy to a stressful day. FOOD! How did I go so far off topic...??? hmmm oh well ending with food in mind wouldn't hurt at all.
