be thankful for everything

God always ends the week good for me
even though it's only friday
i was feeling really horrible on tue and wed
but His goodness always shines through
just yest i followed my superior to collect ndp stuff
but he just dropped me off at suntec city and i went to do a lil shopping
at night i could even make time for a trip to borders to browse through all the magazines
all in a single 'working' day
and i thank You for giving me time off to train every fri morning for my half marathon.
i didn't really sleep much yest night
i just told Him "Lord it gotta be Your strength now"
and when i woke up, i didn't feel tired at all. In fact i felt ready to go through the training, and His strength got me through 2 x 4.5km repeats.

to deny everything of myself
and take on the confidence of Christ in me
it is a conscious thing.

Humility

Humble yourselves in the Lord and He shall make You prosper

God exalts the humble.

The Lord is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

surfing the net

so my job today is to sit in the office whole day long
and wait for people to come to the office to collect their whatnot for the combined rehearsals.
i'm pretty much fixed here on my seat
thank God there's the internet for me to surf.
but actually i only go blog hopping on the net.nothing much. at most i'll just be reading those runnersworld.com website.
jeez
pretty boring
but i'm not complaining about work actually
you got to do what you have to do
and it keeps you occupied for the day

i want to go shopping yet again.
but it's painful blowing that sum of money away in a flash.

Anna asked me this question
"what are you like at home and what are you like with a group of friends?"
yea actually actually
i'm pretty much the same
sometimes there's a little bit of swearing and cursing that comes out of my mouth
i'm a normal guy with normal hormones raging
that's all
there's no "i'm like this when i'm with my church friends, i'm like this when i'm with other people"

like what lynne said
as much as possible she would like to be what she is at church and what she is at home.

skip fooftastic four the drowning of the silver robot.

if only i could put this up in the newspaper manx.
i remember in the papers a few days ago that there wasn't any good reviews for fantastic 4-return of the silver surfer.
i still went ahead with it yesterday, wanting to spend some time outside, and i kinda regretted watching the movie.
Jessica Alba fans, i'm sorry to disappoint because in my personal opinion, i stress again that it's my personal opinion, she always has this constipated look whenever she tries to use her superpowers. look alba, learn from Halle Berry's expression when she summons the storm, the winds in X-Men. Halle berry looks much more cool in the way she uses her superpowers, yea with her hair being blown in the wind and her eyes turning white, she still looks more cool than a constipated look that alba has in the movie.
maybe she would be better surfing boards in the deep blue sea.

and the guy alba is marrying? his powers is exactly the same as mrs incredible. stretch here stretch there, didn't i see a familiar plot somewhere?

and you have torch? who's like pyro in Xmen

basically all the superpowers, they are either in this comic series or that comic series.
pretty boring popcorn teenage superhero movie.
a show which makes you feel like it's better drowning yourself in popcorn than to watch it, either that or it's better to throw the popcorn at the screen at the end of the movie.

perhaps Shrek 3 would have been better.

oh wells.

i'm not done yet. silver surfer, he reminds me of the enemy robot in Terminator 2?3?
having that expressionless look but beneath that silver facade, emotions run high.

and i realise from spiderman and fantastic four
they have this familiar line
"we all have a choice"
yea the freedom in choosing where we want to go, who we want to be, what we want to do, who we want to live for.
God gives Man a choice
He gives me a choice to choose whether i want to run after Him or run with another gal.

you can't divide your heart

I have one desire
Just to be with You my Lord

I stand,with arms high and heart abandoned

i don't think it's wise to compartmentalize your life
you can't say "okie this part of my heart, it belongs to him or her. While this part of my heart, it belongs to God"

God answers exceeding abundantly

i was looking at my past entries in my note book.
i asked Him for a simple request- to attend Planet Shakers.
i only asked to attend planet shakers, probably go in the evening or something
He gave me a whole day off, making me available to help out at ambs, much more than what i could ask for
isn't He good in my life?

that sometimes your flesh feels that it's irritating, but you got to tell yourself, you're already dead to self, Christ takes over.

if this period of time i can't commit my time to handle these precious lives,
Lord i'll take a rest and just wait patiently and grow.
after all the doors are always opened for me when i'm able to commit more time into this ministry.

"you don't need a platform to serve Him"

right there and then.where you are.right there in the cg.open up and share.open up and welcome everyone.open up and be sharp to look out for anyone who's being left out.

feed the lambs
take care of my sheep
feed the lambs

hallelujah

even lizards have a bad fall

i walked out of the void deck and saw a lizard with its four legs facing the sky.
it wasn't flattened. it wasn't in a bloody state
so i reckon the lizard wasn't run over by anything, but it probably had a bad fall from a great height, either that or it committed suicide
oh wells.
my imagination runs pretty wild today

i have this unnatural gait
because i geh kiang
go do 2 sets of 15lunges with 5kg dumbells in both hands yesterday
knowing that i've not done lunges for ages
lunges really kills your butt

keeping it active.

1,2,3,,4 people told me i've shrunk, or rather became skinnier
that when i try to find reasons for it
i can only come up with these reasons

1. i'm doing too much cardio
2. i'm doing too much cardio in the morning before breakfast
3. i've not touched a single weight plate since a month ago
4. Calisthenics only tone your muscles, they do not add bulk to them.

oh wells. it doesn't matter actually.

it's already june.
soon in july. we will be undergoing changes in the caregroup.
gals moving up. and a renewal of numbers in JCEA.
renewal
renewal
renewal

blog drought

sometimes.
u click from url to url..
and it doesn't take long to realise there is a blog drought out there.
no new entries to read.

i still think...

i still think i can serve on june 15th.
God just gave me a possibilty today
just plan everything smoothly..
on that day get my friend to just oversee the rehearsals..
what is impossible with men. it is possible with God.
stand on His Word.

that i'm pretty much contented with God and me.
not troubled by the cares of this world.

if it works it works. if it doesn't.it doesn't.
