2 Cor 11

22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. 24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness— 28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?

help me go through it like you helped Paul.

whatever it is.

Jesus

When the bad times comes,
I remember You
When the good times are here,
Remind me of You.

When I'm hungry and thirsty,
I look for You
When I'm filled to the brim,
I give thanks to You.

When tears run through the tear in my heart,
I feel you near
When joy comes as strength,
I know you are here.

You'll never leave me nor forsake me
You've always been there for me.

When I'm burdened and depressed,
You lifted me up
When I'm happy and glad,
You celebrated with me.

When I wandered and lost,
You found me
When I walk with you
You bring lightness to my steps.

When my enemies surrounds me,
You are my shelter and refuge
In the day of my triumph,
My heart is filled with gratitude.

You're the only true friend I have
You stayed with me,
You witnessed the heartaches and sorrows, joy and gladness.
Your presence satiates my longing
Your peace fills my heart.

You never turned your face away from me
no matter what I've said or done.
You held me close in my darkest hours
telling me you'll never let go.

I love You friend.

I've been looking back at some of the mistakes that I've made in the past. It made me reflect on what really went wrong, and what should have been done better. I'll just give an apology to anyone whom I have hurt. Especially to those who were close. I beg your pardon for wrongs done towards you, and I sincerely ask that you let forgiveness come into your heart.

I was young and foolish. I thought I could conquer the world with my enthusiasm but that never proved true. I've done many things I'm not proud of, and some of them still fills me with regrets. I ought to have been a better example of Christ that I say I follow. There has been many close ones whom I have offended intentionally or otherwise. They still come into my mind frequently.

Having say that, I know my God is constantly doing a work in my life, towards the day of glory. I'll still do wrong things and hurt people, but I claim the grace and mercy that was given over my life. I will cherish my current relationships. I will imitate Him as closely as I possibly can. But should i stumble, please give me a chance. Help me up and give me your mercy. If you are a friend I can count on, I'll be a friend you can count on.

When others revile me, I'll not lash out, but pray that peace and joy will go into their lives. I pray that my life will be a testimony of God's love and presence in an ordinary person.

Water and bridges

And that's enough for the back to break
That's an awful lot to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance

TW TPE

I have decided to try to go to TW for my mission trip for SOT.

Now I've got to brush up my mandarin and look for funds.

Yeah...

Just a zero nobody's hero

it's 2am and I'm still awake. This sucks.

You might as well just spit in my face.

I thought I've learnt my lesson by now, but I'm still the fool.

Tree or three?

There are so many things I ought to be doing now but I'm not.
SOT starts tomorrow, and it's back to school. I have yet to get a job to start paying for my expenditures. Hopefully a good lobang will come my way soon.

iPad, iPhone 4, Macbook Pro, holidays. Those shall be attainable soon. I hope.

Taiwan is such a hot destination to be at this year. I guess Thailand just can't match up to the safe and secure streets of ROC. Since April, FB has been clogged with pictures of friends in Taiwan. It's really an awesome holiday destination, somewhere you may take a perma vacation and not regret it. Buy a house by the seaside, enjoy the chilly sea breeze and then sit back and enjoy the day over a cup of hot tea or cold beer; whichever way you prefer it. Next year, if time and money permits, I'll spent two weeks there. Once again, hopefully.

Saying I love you, in a different way

There are so many ways to express love,
a peck on the cheek
a hug goodbye
cooking a simple meal
taking time off to meet
travelling through distance and time
waiting and waiting

all to say I love you without the words
