All the time



This pic was taken while Don and I was cycling along the expressway. Lol. He thought it would be cool to take pictures of us cycling on the TPE so here we are, just before we reach Jalan Kayu. Haha. That night was fun, and we travelled all the way to changi village. Unfortunately when we got there, the Nasi Lemak store was already closed, so I ended up eating oyster omelette while he ate mee rubus. My legs were hardened by the time I got back. Lol.

I've got to prepare for my Exams! I need help, gotta go ask for it from someone else. Need to do well for this exams, hopefully my IS would have been graded above B. Haha.

Day 2 started with morning prayers. What actually is love? Well, I got a few hints along the way during the day. One of them occurred when my dad nag at me to wash the dishes. I was abit upset because firstly I don't like to do the dishes, and secondly, I don't like to be nagged by anyone. Then it struck me, that in small and practical things like this, we demonstrate our love to the people around us. Now, if I go ahead and do it grudgingly, making noise, or even not doing it, what kind of example would I be to my family members, who are not saved yet. True love is sacificial love, love that has already counted and paid for the cost. It has already dealt with the grudging part, it has already dealt with the parts where emotions run high, anger, disappointment, hurt, it has already dealt with unhappiness. True love is the willingness to lay down what you treasure most for the sake of others. I'm talking about the love of God, the Agape love. The unconditional love, no such things as I love you when you love me, but I love you no matter what. Now, if everyone has this kind of love, won't we be living the most satisfying life in the world?

Dr AR Benard came today and he is indeed a very good teacher of the word. Though part of his sermon is harder to understand, I still caught the message. It was really what everyone need, revelation about being in this world but not of the world, and bringing the future to the present when we move in miracles. Indeed, if we move in miracles, surely the future where the kingdom of God comes, will be available in the present, where there is no pain, no sicknesses, no disease, no war, no poverty. He also talked about the matrix of man, the natural man, the unlearned man, the carnal man and the spiritual man, and how we are supposed to upgrade from level to level, skipping the carnal man because its a DISTRACTION. Wow. That's really true. I can't wait for tomorrow because today's message got all of us excited and ready to go.

Leading a life of a disciple requires us to be discipline in our attitude and character. In our daily lives, we should keep ourselves healthy by eating right and takking care of the body God has given us. I guess that's what He wants me to learn by impressing in me that I should sleep earlier, eat proper meals, drink lots of water and excercise more. God cares about your body because it is the temple and it belongs to Him who has paid for your lives. So I will learn to lead a more healthy live these few weeks and also other aspects of my mind, body and spirit.
