rewind...

As I stumbled upon these photos, lying around on my messy desktop full of unimportant icons which I think I might use it one day, I decided to just blog it.

 

Cute right! How come I got so many balloons? 3 are for my birthday. Notice the date there? Yes, the bottom one. the top one is date processed. So remember my birthday.. Another three is because of my left leg. My mum wanted to "tam fan" or as a pity gift. What happened to your leg???

Jin Chong is a good boy. Tell your neighbour, " Jin Chong is a good boy!" He learned how to be independent even when he was 2 years old. Tell your neighbour, "Wow! Amazing!" Yes... He even loves to drink MILO. Therefore : Good boy + Independent + Loves to drink MILO = Tries to make his own MILO. And guess what happen? Yes.. Cooked leg from the hot kettle. Thank you thank you! See how sweet the smile.

Look at the floor. You think floor board ar? hahahha.. of course not. Its just a very big piece of PVC type mat which traps water underneath when our house got flooded. And me being naughty (did I said I was a good boy?) will peel the mat open. It stinks so bad that my dad changed to rubber tiles.

 

Uiiiseh! Leng chai or not? OF COURSE LA...Look at that karipap! ( name for the side parting hairstyle by mum. English translation: curry puff ). This was when i was standard 1. 7 years old. Lining up waiting to receive present from the Sultan's brother (Raja Muda Kedah). Pee pel get number 1 in class lo.. My primary school is called Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Iskandar.

Why do people backslide?

I believe one of the reasons is that certain Christians are just fake. Not being real. Never practice what they preach. Holier than thou. "You have high fever? I'll pray for you." "Your family member pass away? My condolences to you and your family, I'll pray for the dead one." "Your car breakdown? In the middle of the KESAS at night? I'll pray for you."

Thanks but no thanks. What is the point preaching about love, Jesus love you, I love you with the love of God, church welcomes you, but when during trouble times, the only thing that the person receives is an sms saying I'll pray for you? Sometimes we literally treat the lost as a harvest. JUST RAKE THEM IN! And keep in the barn. Keep in the storehouse. When it rots, throw it away. How to keep on staying in a church that is full of fake people? When they leave, the fingers are pointed at them, labeling them "backslider".

Sad to say, that even certain non-believers are better people than Christians themselves. They wait for your food to come before they start eating. They visit you in hospitals , at your side when you are crying, calling tow-trucks when your car breaks down and offer you a ride home, celebrates with you when you are victorious.

However not all Christians are like that. I felt so touched by my US-friends who keeps on emailing me and messaging me asking me to go back there and saying that they miss me. While I was there, they treated me the best-est and made sure that I always have a happy stomach. They bring me around despite their busy schedules, and a family treated me like one of them. When I was in LA, I met up with a bunch of Malaysians whom I just met for the second time, and they sacrificed their time, spend me meals, bring me around, let me stay with them, and made sure I was ok all the time. I felt being taken care like a 10 year old child but I like it! That shows that they are REAL people, they are FRIENDS not just Brothers or Sisters in Christ.

I really hope that i will never ever be a fake Christian, and i wouldn't want to accidentally be one to. If i happen to act like that do let me know. I love REAL people. And i want to be one too.

What's Your Driving Force?

Feelings. We are driven by feelings. Which causes us to do the things that we never imagined that we would do. That we did the things that we shouldn't do.

When emotions is brought into the equation of our actions, the brain stops malfunctioning. Brain stops being rational. It may be love, infatuation, anger, hatred, sorrow or anxiety. That's why some people commit suicide.

But what's more powerful is when you are able to suppress that feeling, overcome it with discipline and rationality, and do the things that you should do. Doing the right thing. Which will then cause you to feel good at the end of the day.

Just a thought...

Revelation For The Day...

Happy Easter everyone..

Just feel like reviving this blog.

Today is a special day. Today is the day when Jesus was resurrected, He lives again. I went for service today, had cell group and did a counseling case. It is a season of counseling and season of strengthening sheeps. Going to have another one on Tuesday.

As I was talking to my member, I asked the person, what is God's revelation for you today? Sometimes we get too mechanical and too in a rut while we serve God, therefore we lost the real reason we come to service and come to cell group. The reason we attended service and cell group is because we have to? Cell leader ask to? Pastor scold if we don't attend? People gossiping saying that we are backsliding if we don't? Or we really want to come and learn the word of God and encounter God and hear Him speak to us? Are we here to carry the offering bucket around to serve or are we coming to meet God? Are we here to strum the chords on our guitar or are worshipping Him? Is our heart complaining about the imperfection of the church or are our heart seeking after the perfect God?

As I watched Andrew (Jesus in drama production) being whipped, screaming and wailing in 'pain', tears wells up in my eye. I was telling Laverne that no matter how many times we watched the drama, no matter how we know the ending would be, we will still tend to tear.

It was when it hit me. Even though I knew it already, even I have heard it, read it, listened to it so many times. It was like God speaking to me at that time. Jesus still endures the pain, the whip, the suffering while knowing that you will still sin against Him. I imagined when Jesus stared at betraying Peter, while thinking, "I still do this for you, even though you break my heart."

So God, I came to church knowing that my desire is not to be on stage strumming my new Les Paul. Not to be appearing on HTV so people would know and see me. Not to preach to people so that they would come and thank me for changing their lives. But God, it was because of what you did for me that i honor you now with my service, i honor you now by tending your sheep and feed your lambs. Thank You Jesus for the cross..
