God thinks about you.

Listening to : Send Down Your Love - C3 Church

It's very easy all the time to get up on your feet and be angry in whatever situation you are in.
It's even easier if you look down at your situation and become angsty about it.
We get angry in the simplest of circumstances.
Yes, I got a little agitated today.
Not just today, but the whole of the past 3 days in fact.
I've been largely bothered my my computer, it is unable to detect any hardware except my Iphone.
As strange as that sounds, it's really been bothering me, if any one knows why, do pm me.
But either way, when this occurred, I had a very normal reaction.
I got really annoyed, irritated and yes angry.
I brought it to the next few days till today.
I was this close to exploding because of such a small issue.
Talking about making a mountain out of a molehill. That was the epitome of it all.

But as I began to reflect on the things that have occurred the past few days.
I know I should be studying, mugging for my coming exam on Friday.
But I just felt the need to express my thoughts and feelings on this.
That getting angry, getting agitated, losing your cool. Is really a CHOICE.
We make that choice out of various circumstances in our lives.
But more importantly, we make that choice out of a DECISION.
You decide whether to give in to the devil or not.

I'd like to think that our lives, is a 24/7 battle.
What's there to expect from a battle-hungry-always-energetic guy yeah?
But ya, the fact still remains that it is true.
Our lives is a battlefield, we are the battle.
God is fighting and the devil is fighting.
We choose who wins, we choose who gets the better of us.
When we get down to the wire, we get angry, we lost our cool, we forget to love.

It is so easy to garner self pity over yourself. But beyond that.
Instead of getting angry over your situation, your friend or even yourself.
Thank God in everything. In every situation that you are in.
When things go rough. Praise God in those circumstances.
I have learnt that valuable lesson today.
It was by far one of the worst ever. Really.
But I guess I chose to be happy, I chose to have a lifted spirit.
I realized that choosing to thank God In all things is better than getting angry.
It's just a waste of time, energy and life to get angry.

What's more. I know what I am today. I know what God thinks of me.
I know that getting angry won't help. But thinking of those things will liven me up.

I am a Child of GOD
I have a good future and a hope
I am Chosen
I have Love poured in me
I am More Than A Conqueror
My Smile makes GOD Smile
I have a purpose
The will and purpose GOD has for my life is amazing
I am able to make mountains move
I can change the World by Changing Lives
I am persistent to make it happen
The Love that comes out from my life can change lives
I am LOVED
The people around me Love me more than I think
I am secure in Life and in my Future
I am placed on this Earth to Reign
I am an overcomes in all times of trials
Every trial coming at me is a stepping stone to success
If God is for me, who can be against me
Jesus is praying for my success all the time, even now
The Word of God is the core of my life
I am or Worth
I am able to do IMPOSSIBLE things!
God loves me more than I ever know
I need not be ashamed of who I am
I am right beside GOD
Today is my day of victory
Today is my day of Purpose
Today is MY DAY!

Just saying all that already makes me feel that I'm going to do amazing stuff.
That getting angry is too trivial a matter.
That my life is more than this.
What is God thinking of you today?

Thank you, for everything

Listening to : Please Don't Go - Barcelona

I'm not worried about the press, I'm just concerned over the safety of others.
It may seem so ignorant, it may seem even naive to a certain extent.
I honestly wouldn't care much about what they say.
Wouldn't even begin to comprehend what the people think about it.
But I know for sure, that I'm going to stand my ground.

They say, that if you see me, you see the leaders over me inside.
I am proud to say, that if you see me, you will see even if it's just a little bit, you'll see them in me.
The Inspiration of Huizi.
The Happiness of Shirley.
The Discipline of Qingni.
The Courage of Evan.
The Strength of Vincent.
The Steadfastness of Eugene.
The Meticulousness of Boa Tian.
The Command of Beatrice.
The Servanthood of Alex.
The Smile of Baoling.
The Faith of my Brother.
The Confidence of Jeff.
The Spirituality of Lawrence.
The Helpfulness of Esther.
The Mind of Pastor Derek.
The Caring attitude of Pastor Audrey.
The Wisdom of Pastor Tan.
The Life of Pastor Kong.

All of these leaders, all of them. Have made me who I am today.
Yes, my peers have changed it in a big way too.
However, if it was not for them caring for me day and night.
My life in their minds running this incredible race.
Be it significant or small, I'm changed by all these people.
Pastor Kong, has done so much, he has made me who I am today.
He has done so directly and indirectly.
Every single one of those leaders would not have existed in my life if it wasn't for them.
My parents would not be saved if it wasn't for him.
Shiming wouldn't be saved if it wasn't for him.
I wouldn't have did so many impossibles if it wasn't for him.

Lionel is who he is today because of one man.
I have so much to thank him for, I owe so much to him.
The church, has made my life and I owe everything to it.
Pastor Kong and his ministry cannot be placed in higher reverence in my life.
I understand it now, what it means to stand by someones side.
I will never know what is exactly running through everyones mind.
I really wouldn't know how Pastor is feeling at this very moment.
However, I know one thing, that the tears he shed, are not for himself.
The tears rolling down those cheeks are for us.

Regardless of what they say, I am here, standing, sure of myself.
That if all fall away. I will still say, that I belong to City Harvest.
I have been so for the past 8 years and nothing will change that.
I am sure that every single one of those leaders have made me so sure of it.
Thank you, all of you.
Thank you, Pastor Kong, for the everything, for Lionel.

AMAAAAZING

Listening to : Party all the time - Black Eyed Peas

2 weeks have passed and here I am.
I have to admit, with hands up in the air, these 2 weeks have been the most life changing ever.
Ok, apart from the occasional A level results etc etc.
I'm quite sure that this 2 weeks would be the highlight of the year for me.
Yes, it is the one and only.
Asia Conference.

I have to be honest and true, I haven't been very excited about it.
Really, 1 month before, I haven't caught any AC fever whatsoever.
In fact, I've been rather against it with many rehearsals, auditions etc etc.
It's really been a torture to go through all of them.
But I have to come very blatantly, I was wrong.
The days of Asia conference and even the days leading up to it were phenomenal.
I mean, AMA----ZING!

For most normal conferences, I would be really focused and thinking that alright, I'm on duty.
I'm serving, however, this time round, it came across slightly differently.
I'm here, I'm serving, I'm changing Asia with this.
Every person I usher to the seat would probably be able to speak to his church a whole lot more effectively. He would really change his nation!
Did I receive much? Really honestly, apart from the few phrases, words and moments.
I didn't really catch much. But am I satisfied? Of course I am!!!
I really do believe, that it is a whole lot more blessed to give than to receive!!
I was so glad to be a blessing to others, to be able to be part of a huge conference such as this.

Apart from the ushering, yes. It was the one thing I've been hoping for.
ASIA CONFERENCE BEAUTY PAGEANT AND MANHUNT!!!
Yes, I WON! But I really don't care much about that.
Really, cause I already knew I was a winner way before we stepped out of the curtains.
The banners, the love, the support, the sacrifice, the friendship.
I knew that even if I left empty handed, I was a total winner!! :))

One thing I really took away....
The LOVE for one another. Oh how much more I would want.
How much more I would give...
