First Post after so so long........

If you see a problem,

Change

2008 is the year of change!

There are many friends around me have changed their jobs, and some even became a "changed" person. Change from single to married; students to working adult, etc.. They changed for better, and it's never easy to make a decision to just change into a new environment when we are all get use to the usual stuffs; in the comfort zone.

In order for a change to take place, it is painful, is a tough decision to make.. and we need faith. No doubt we can't be 100% percent sure that is God's will for us. We need to change, change our habits, change our mind.

I just came back from Tacloban City, Philippines for a mission trip. Man, is AWESOME, God is really working in the lives of many young people. I really encourage all of us to go, to dwell in the presence of God as we worship Him with His people in that city. God is so good!

The theme of the Youth Camp - "Changing my world", yes, we need to change our world, if not, how can we impact others? I have spoke to few guys there, understand their lives. God is amazing, He has not only changed the person, He transform lives, gives hopes and brings them out of darkness. I am just so amazed by His wonderful works!

Only God can make all these changes possible!!

Praise God!

Sis Cat shared in the youth camp in Tacloban City -

"Watch your thought, they become Words, watch your words, they become Action, watch your action, they become Habits, watch your habits, they become Character, watch your character, they become DESTINY. "

I really love this!

I need to constantly pray for God to change me, to change my mind, change the way I behave, and not to be remain the same person year after year... that's sad..

I have and I must change!!


Oh Lord, help me to change to the person You have made me to be. I need Your help, Oh Lord.. create in me a new heart... make it new again....

CNY random pics

Just before i go to bed.. here some latest pics we took during CNY..
baby tingwei really look very sweet in her red cheong sam.












Happy CNY everybody!!

my poor eyelashes ..

Two weeks ago, me and my friends went for a short trip to Macau / China. During the trip, i had done a "transformation" to my eyes. I did my eyebrow embroidery and eyelash extension. well.. it really look pretty and the price is quite affordable. (almost 30 - 40% of local market's price)

i thought my new long and curly eyelashes will last for 2 to 5 months (according to the beautician) but it's not! Lier! For my experience, it's really not very comfortable, though it might look good and pretty, but after about 1 week, i started to tear.. cuz it really irritated me.. sigh.. made me cry every morning especially during shower! really painful, okay?

and finally, enough is enough! i have decided to have every "lashes" removed.. one by one.. to my Horror.. it came off together with my REAL eyelashes.. sad right? i feel so heart aching lor ..

Lesson learnt : not to be so vain!


i will not touch this anymore.. it's a DISASTER! Bad bad bad experience. BAD!


ya, i think for the next 3 months, i have to put on the fake eyelashes when i go out.. however, there is still something to be thankful.. thank God that at least the beautician who did my eyebrow is good.. highly recommended! ^_^ this i have no regret!


for those ladies out there, who are curious to do eyelashes extension - please think it over.. it's not worth it.. too much a price to pay..


oh my poor eyelashes.. good bye....

in the place of obedience

There is NO place on earth is safe, only ONE place is safe. Ps Nicky Raiborde shared in Church last sunday.

"The safest place is to be where God want you to be, and to stay in the place of obedience.." =)

This simple messsage is not that simple after all. To obey, to trust, to have faith.. need a lot of strength. and he also said that "Faith" is spelled as "RISK", and how to be constantly stay in obedience?

Well.. the good news is.. to pray, to be constantly rely on God, who will give us the strength.

I kinda enjoy what Ps Nicky message - God will use the one that you - can't get along with, have attitude problem, some kinda "weirdo", to bless you! (that's so so true, isn't it?)

but .. but why? Why does God wanna do that?

i don't have the answer. His thoughts are always higher than mine.. and so is His ways.. i just have to OBEY.. and TRUST..



i need You Jesus

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

What Amilin Means

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

全新的"全新的你" - "The new you"

I would like to share this song to all of us. Is very important to know the Word of God, some lyrics maybe nicely written, but it might not be biblical. We have to be very careful, need to know the Word of God well, by reading and seeking Him; else, we will be misled. This song is really very meaningful. love it! eNjoY ya!! Be blessed.

Dream - Never Stop Dreaming!

"Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements." Napoleon Hill

"Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true." Napoleon Hill

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true." Woodrow Wilson

"However vague they are, dreams have a way of concealing themselves and leave us no peace until they are translated into reality, like seeds germinating underground, sure to sprout in their search for the sunlight." Lin Yutang

"The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want." Ben Stein

"The Challenge"

Let others lead small lives,
but not you.
Let others argue over small things,
but not you.
Let others cry over small hurts,
but not you.
Let others leave their future
in someone else's hands,
but not you.

Trust God in 2008

Blessed new year, people!!

I just returned from my church annual event - "Watch Night" service. Man.. This is really awesome!! Every year, members in church - from the young to the old, are given a chance to thank God, and to declare God's wonderful works in their lives, how life has transformed, how sickness has been healed, salvation took place, promotions, and blessings.. blessings .. and many blessings has poured in the church members lives. Glory to God!!

I strongly believed that there are many more great and powerful testimonies that has not shared, perhaps of time constraint, or could be shyness. Well, nevertheless, there is a season in everything.. maybe next time huh? =)

Ps Terence shared, "Some of our testimonies maybe still in the process, in the making.. some testimonies don't happened overnight, it could be years of praying.. seeking God.. but we must believe; believe that God will pull us through.. through it all.. we serve a God who will never fails."

I cried.

Those words just pierced through my heart, right there, i know.. God is speaking to me, He is still working in my life, He is telling me to trust Him..

.. and i am going to trust Him that He will bring me a higher height, a breakthrough in this brand new year of 2008, He is going to do greater things in me... that He has planned ahead for me to fulfill. To have faith in Him!

"You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteous
And I look to You
And I wait on You

I’ll sing to You Lord
A hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I’m carried in everlasting arms
You’ll never let me go
Through it all..."

a Letter from Jesus

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated.

During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer. It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration.

Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration. I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts.

But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited.

I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation.

The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face .. and I wanted to be with them and share their table. In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner.

They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying:

'Santa Claus, Santa Claus'

as if the party were in his honor!

At midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and do you know no-one hugged me.

Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one?

I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left. Every year it gets worse. People only remember the gifts, the parties, to eat and drink, and nobody remembers me.

I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life.
I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you.

Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart. I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party
that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party. I'm still making the final arrangements..

Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book.

Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party.

Those who don't answer the invite, will be left outside. Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.

See you soon. I Love you!

Jesus

Isaiah 60

19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

20 Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.

Trust in the Lord

I am bringing you to a new place.
Hold onto Me.
Along the way you may stumble,
but get up.
Don't withdraw,
but walk with Me.
Learn intimacy.
Enjoy the companionship.
I will not fail.
Lean closer to me,
so you might hear My direction.
I am bringing you to the point where only I matter.
There are opportunities each day to pour yourself out.
Be emptied of self.
There is an invitation to come nearer;
to sit in my presense.
Hold onto Me as you ascend up into My mountain.

is all about You

You.
in my heart.
make me smile.
with a thankful heart.
i rejoice.
feeling loved.
all i want is to praise and worship,
to please and to love You..
forever...

a voice from my Daddy God

Have you ever wonder what is it like to be a Christian? Is it hard? Are we struggling to be a Christian - pleasing God, and sometimes pleasing men?

Are we trying to make every effort to live our life that what God wants us to do? To serve in church, to go for life group, not to curse, not to swear, trying to be the best you can be?

Life is like a roller coaster huh?!

Just two weeks, I have encountered big time challenges, one of the lowest moments in my life. i felt so discouraged, disappointed, stressed, as if the whole world is against me; i have no one to turn to.. the only one who is there for me.. none other than God Himself.

I question Him : "Why is it so difficult to be Your child, oh Father, why is it so tough to be a Christian? I can never be able to meet the expectation that men set for me, it's so unfair, why am i not being treated the way it should be ..... it seems like i will never going to make it.. just wanna give up.. oh Lord.. i can't take it.. "

i found myself crying like a baby to my Daddy God.. crying my heart to Him..

After a hot shower, i continue to dwell in His presence; listening to worship songs.. and during the stillness of the night, i heard a soft tender voice..

"If you know how much I love you,

you won't have any difficulties doing what you need to do."

With that, my spirit was lifted up, instantly.. i was all charged up again. God is love! True enough, if i know how much God loves me, I would want to do the same to Him.

Thank God for His love, His everlasting, unfailing love.. that endures forever... =)


~all i wanna do.. is to love YOU more~

first time praying for my granny

On the 16th oct, while am getting ready for work, i sensed very strongly that I should pray for my granny. As it seems her condition has not be very stable. She has been throwing tantrum, and been quite bad recently.

This has always in me that, i should pray and encourage her with the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ. but, somehow.. am not doing so, perhaps, the reason is that am not confident enough, have been procrastinating to pray with her.. well.. anyway, i did .. FINALLY!

This is my very first time, praying for her in hokkien, even i can speak pretty well, but where come to praying, am just lost my words, i dunno how. I laid my hands on her.. all i felt during praying was that, she is confused, she is struggling and she is fearful.

In that one minute of prayer, i pray for Lord Jesus to bring His peace to her, to bring her the joy, to remove the pain. We all know only the Lord knows what she is going through, and YES. . only He truly understand, and nobody else will.

I am constantly remind myself to show her the love from God, to be patience with her, even though, some times it maybe very hard to do so..

and yes.. am learning ..

Growing old can be scary, but i pray that oh Lord, You will be my Lord of my life, hold my hands and never let me go ...

God can use you

The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...

Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer AND Lazarus was dead!
Most Importantly, don't forget;

Jesus Helped them all!

Now! NO more excuses!
God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

In the Circle of God's love, God is waiting to use your full potential.

p.s. - i like this "He who dies with the most toys ~ is still dead! " this is sooo soo true!

I need discernment

I need discernment.
I need wisdom. I need, and I need !!!

I am so tired of hearing lies, simply don't understand why there are such people in the world, enjoying lying .... and worst ~ using God's name in vain.

As what the Bible says .. we have to be as wise as serpents .. as gentle as doves ..

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." ~ Matthew 10:16

sometimes, i just dunno how .. :(

I feel sad that why are there some people living in an imaginary life, telling stories that are not true.. perhaps they are just feeling insecurity, or maybe they simply love of lying!

Am really have no idea why they behave this way, why can't they face the truth, face the reality and why must they keep on deceiving others and deceiving themselves.

"Thou shalt not lie" this is what God has commanded us as His children to follow. Indeed, this is a command to set us FREE ..

I know the Lord is teaching me something here, which have been a hard lesson for me.. He has been allowing situations to happen, so many times, and I have never seem to pass the test..


Oh LORD, help me, teach me, guide me.. I need Your wisdom.. oh Lord Jesus .. I also pray for all those who sins against You, to repent and sin not.. as we know Lord, no matter who and what we are, You still love us.. the same.. thank You for Your love, grace and mercy ... Amen
