My flesh & heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart & my portion forever!

Memories!!!!

Chuen & Me after her party.... Men in blacks & whites & with odd colours here & there...
Chuen with the dancers....
Mark & Chuen...
Ultraman fantasy?

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY CHUEN!!!!

A simple bubble tea,
that was all it need.
To start a great friendship,
that last til this date.

We often ask,
at moments such as this,
what are the best words to say,
on such a memorable day.

I know I made it obvious,
& it was clear for most to see,
that those days just ain't the easiest,
moments for me.

But you've helped me thru' the fall,
& I always know you care,
but most important of all,
you've always been there.

I know it was not easy,
listening to me cry,
but i don't think you know what it means to me,
to have you by my side.

You've guided me thru' the tunnel,
til I see the light,
& it's nice to know there's someone,
who would share the burden of my fight.

Why I'm blessed with a friend like you,
this i never know.
But I thank God everyday,
for letting a friend like you, to come my way.

As time past, separate we may go.
The seasons change & it will show.
I will age & so will you,
but our friendship remains, strong & true.

This poem marks my friendship to you,
on such a day specially for you,
here's a promise I make to you,
that I'll always be there for you.


Thanks chuen & God bless you.

Dead poor!

Here lies a truly poor being
born poor, raised poor,
remained poor & died poor.
Poorly he lived & poorly he died;
maintaining status quo was his only pride.
Came across this poem was i was flipping through the Malaysia Medical Assoc magazine as I was waiting for the next patient during my GP posting with Dr. Anthony. Thank God, I am no where near what the poet describe.

Let's X-cavate!!!

Who am I
Tell me why
I am here for
coz sometimes I'm lost
Who will give
Me a lift
When I'm feeling weak
It's your strength I need
Before the world began
You were on His mind
To love Him & be loved by Him
Oh, what a sweet relief
Why am I--still worrying today?
Why should I-- let sorrow stay
Come let's be strong & courageous
Because, He has given
JOY PEACE LOVE and
STRENGTH to last for the day
His mercy new everyday
Sufficient, Your grace is amazing
Oh thank You Father
For the mighty cross
So that I am Yours
Mighty child of God
That is the theme song for this year's CF camp. The camp was all about rediscovering ourselves, hence X-CAVATE!!! It was held in MBS Rawang for past 3 days. Around 60+ IMU-ers attended the camp. Throughout this camp, friendship had been made. Team spirit had been built. But best of all, God's voice was made clear!!!
The speaker shared this verse:-
1Pet2:9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

It says we are God's chosen people. Each of us today, having a relationship with God because He chose to start a relationship with us first. We didn't make the call. He did. He is so merciful & kind to us. He chose each of us just as we are. A sinner who didn't know what sin is & who lived in a lifestyle so compromising to the pattern of the world. But now, we are no longer bounded by sin. He paid the final price at calvary. Now we are His people, with immediate excess to Him. We can talk to Him anytime, anywhere. Our identity is found in our creator!

Nevertheless, we also become a mediator between God & the non-believers, introducing them to God. Our purpose now is to glorify Him & our mission on earth is to do what God wants us to do; which is to make disciples. That is God's calling in our life. We are the salt & light for this world. We are the one who shine the path & lead people to God. As christians, we all know this. We hear it from our leaders, sermons & friends. But the Bible says :-James1:22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

It made me wonder, am I doing what God calls me to do. Am I doing on my own strength or relying upon Him to open the way? Did I make full use of the opportunity He has given me?During devotion, someone shared: "I just wonder if God is pleased with me?" This question really stucked in my head til now. During worship, God's love & sacrifice began to hit me. His grace & blessings ran in my mind once again. I asked Him, "Why do you love us so much?" "What did we do to deserve such an amazing grace?" Slowly, I began to weep. It just remind me that His grace is sufficient for me. Nothing else matter. If I didn't get what I want, maybe God thinks that it is not suitable for me, or it is not time for me to have it, or maybe He is putting me through another challenge to refine my faith. Whatever the outcome is, I believe it is best for me.

But now, I should start X-cavating myself. Am I carrying out His mission?
