Was just wondering how many people realised how bless we are? Was holding onto Harvest Times and reading through the articles. These articles are written by top pastors in this generation. And inspirational articles about these people's lives who have left a legacy in this time. And the best thing is we get this magazine for free!!! Even though it's free, the quality of this magazine is not just like a cheap newspaper. But it's printed on glossy paper. And the cover is not smooth but has indents. The layout of the magazine is professionally designed. The graphics have been carefully selected to assist the reader to understand the article better.
As I was reading the first article written by Pst Kong. I was so in awe by the magazine and the message. It really makes me want to read on and know more and be inspired by people, heros of faith. Not just bible characters. But pastors, reverends whom we've heard in our church... Their life story. Their walk of faith... I've always liked reading biographies and reading lives about men and women of faith just spurs me to wanna become more like them!
It's time to reflect... Where's your copy of Harvest Times? What abt the last copy? And the last one? Or even the 1st one which you receive when you came to church? This is a top class magazine and you're so blessed to have it for free. What have you done with it? Have you read the whole magazine already? Are you hungry for more of God in your life? Think abt it... ...

Reflecting time....
Think it's really time to sit down and reflect and evaluate myself... As the year draws to a close... I pray that I can end this year well. I wanna be able to accomplish the things which God has placed within my care... I wanna do well in the marketplace as well. Even though it may not be easy... I wanna increase my capacity. I wanna be more sensitive. I wanna be more open and quick to change. I wanna have more faith. I wanna be able to handle stress better. I wanna know God better. I wanna be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. I wanna have more gifts of the Spirit. I wanna be wealthy. I wanna be in good health. I wanna be happy. I wanna be filled with joy that can be spreaded to the ppl ard me. I wanna be able to sleep little but remain so sharp and alert and awake. I wanna complain less. I wanna be the person God has created me to me... I wanna... I wanna... I wanna... ... ...
Worship...
During worship in cg... I felt so like God was just discipling me... So gentle but it was like a 2-edged sword... Just felt so so so humbled by it...
Reminded that it's Him who exalts me... Telling me not to be puffed up... He is my strength... This season of time, not the easiest time to go thru. The burden will not be lighten... But at the end of the day, I'll become stronger, my capacity will increase.
I told God, I dun ask for the burden to be lighten, but I pray for stronger shoulders... To go thru all this. I pray that I wont give up. Even when chastening comes, I pray that I'll be so so so open and quick to change. I may learn things fast but I pray that I'll replace my bad habits fast too...
I need more of God in my life each day as the workload and the burden gets heavier... I want to increase my capacity. I wanna increase my patience, my longsuffering, my kindness, my understanding of things... I wanna be more and more like God.... God, show me the way... lead me on... you're the lamp unto my path, light unto my feet... God you're my almighty God.. You're for me... You're with me... thru it all... I need you...

What a week...
Havent been having the best of the week... Although the week started quite well, managed to go for prayer meeting cos not stuck in office... But for the rest of the week, started to feel so so so stressed... Practically from every aspect of my life...
Today's cg was very different... More of us moving in the spirit than just receiving... It's high time to do that... The cg is getting unappreciative and taking things for granted... Like stagnanting... Except for a few... Haiz... Talk abt stepping out in faith to do something new. Trusting in God...
But somehow... It just didnt happen... Fear just overwhelmed me... So strongly that I felt so crippled. I havent felt this kind of fear in such a long time. Really dunno wat happened... So so weird feeling. When Ken talked abt God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I was just thinking, how come this verse didnt come to me earlier? And at that pt in time when I felt the fear... I really couldnt feel power, nor love nor have a sound mind. I just dun understand what happened...
Just feel so stressed and tired and far from God. Feel like just putting everything aside and really spend time seeking te Lord in the mountains... But how when the pile of work cant finish and there's no one who can help? How when you feel so tired and no more energy to think abt anything else? How??? I hope this passes over fast... Dun like this feeling... Yucks!
God showed me a verse... 1 Cor 14:12... It's time to meditate on it... It's time...

Why not updated for so long?
My siblings la... Everytime I come home, they're playing the comp... then cant blog using my laptop cos cant access... Had lots of things happening to me this period of time...
Just pledged to the building fund... This is so exciting, even though got to be more conscious abt purchases, but it helps to discipline me... Been giving to the building fund for the past few years since 2000, everytime, God just blesses me back... The last bf, I got into big 4... Really thank God for it...
This time round is the first time I'll giving as a real working adult. The amount I pledged really stretches my faith... Although the amount may not be a lot... But this is the most I've given thus far... And it's really a sacrifice... This time round very different... Not like in sch, can really save cos gt concession. Now muz take cabs to client's place, although claimable but still muz fork out the money first... Pray that I'll be able to get thru the month...
After cg last fri.. I went home to seek the Lord... God just impress upon my heart a few verses and He kept asking me questions...
What is your capacity? How do you gauge or rate your generosity level? You limit yourself if you think you cant do it or make it; you cant cos as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Different amount, equal sacrifice. Is the amount you giving a sacrifice or are you just tipping? Only you know it in your heart!!! The bible says 'freely you have received, freely give'. 'Give and it will be given back to you. Good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over will be added to your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.'
God just kept asking me, do you believe that your returns will be based on the measure which you give? Then do you trust me that as you sow this measure of money, it will be multiplied back to you? Do you trust me? Am I a God who is limited?

I've been released...
I was booked on this job for last fri til this fri... Then I just went into the job and did wat I could as fast and accurately as I can... And God is good, got early released... So will be going back to office tml... Kind of miss those days where I can surf net and do wat I want... Heh...
Today was a exciting day. My mgr for the job came down for field review... So everyone quite stressed. I also... Cos I wanna clear finish the points fast and really try to help the team to finish asap. But the client not ready, couldnt give us the documents we asked for... So there's a limit to wat I can do and finish...
Yesterday, I asked my senior to let me go off early today and on friday cos today got bs and fri got cg... tha was mon... At 7pm yesterday, I went to 'hand up' some work and asked for permission to leave at 730pm... he allowed me to go and asked wat time i had to go on wed and fri, 730? I said... 'Er... No... at 6pm...' He was like wa... Hmmmm.... Wat reaction huh? But I decided to trust God... Cos it's for His sake that I'm leaving early... Cos I wanna seek Him... So I just left to give BS at 730...
Today I managed to finish my stuff at 4pm, cos got some issues that my snr says he'll resolve himself... So I just need to document what I know and pass everything back to him... Then helped him a bit here and there... At 540, he gave me a new thing to work on... I was like God!!! You got to help me!!! I need to leave at 6pm in order to travel down... Wanted to go by public transport to suntec for bs.... So need at least an hour to travel down... But i only managed to finish the document at like 620... I passed it back to him and told him i really need to leave...
He was alright with it and let me go, I packed my stuff and sped walked out of the client's place with my bag, laptop bag and jacket. I was praying all the way out to the gate. Thank God it stopped raining liao... Then when I reached the gate, I was like almost crying out... God, you got to send the cab now. I cant make the rest of the class wait for me... Help!!!
And God is just so good... He let me see 2 cabs... One hired - a normal cab... And one empty one!!! A mercedes cab!!! Heh... The driver stopped... I hurriedly got on the cab and told the driver my destination. Then I asked, wat time can reach huh? I told him I got to reach the office by 7pm... He assured me it was possible... I enjoyed the ride... The radio played a song... God is watching you from a distance... I was like wa... God I know you're always there for me, thank you God... Tears started to well in my eyes... Mercs cabs rides are more smooth, not so jerky and i managed to rest... In the midst of praying that there's no jam... Managed to read my bs notes b4 i went for the class too...
I reached the office at 5 min to 7pm... Even had time to go toilet b4 the class... Heh... God is just so good... Hee....
