to the unknown

helpless
useless

there is always hope

looking back

Three years ago

I took the road less travelled

Life was great

Through good and bad times

Through joy and sorrow

And now

After three years

I'm taking the same road again

To the road less travelled.

Looking back

I thank God

For His faithfulness

That had sustained me thus far.

And looking forward

I pray to God

For His future guidance and strength.

what's your value?

no entry

- stop . think . pray -

ponder

are you a light in the darkness?

first step

- stepping out -

a time for everything

- just like the flower, it will bloom when the right time comes -

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under heaven.

-Ecclesiastes 3:1-

God of my Forever

God of my youth I remember
Your call on my life took me over
Your love has seen me through all my days
I stand here by Your grace
On this altar I’ve written my life
Tells of a story I have with You my Lord
I want the world to know

God of my forever and forever I’m with You
My life is saved with a price
Your sacrifice redeemed my soul
God of my forever and forever I will sing
My greatest honor will always be
To serve my Lord and King

God of my all I’ve surrendered
My heart finds its rest in Your word
Praises will not be enough to show
How my love for you has grown
Nothing matters when You’re here with me
In the end just to hear You say “well done”
Bowing before Your throne

Forever and ever
Jesus You alone in glory reign
Forever and ever
With You I walk this narrow way

-CHC-

take my hands

take My hand and walk where I lead

keep your eyes on me alone

don't you say why were the old days better

just because you're scared of the unknown

take My hand and walk where I lead

you will never be alone

faith is to be sure of what you hope for

and the evidence of things unseen

so take My hand and walk

just like a child

holding daddy's hand

don't let go of mine

you know you can't stand on your own

-KRY, Take My Hand-

Ipoh starwalk

For the first time in my life, I joined the Ipoh Starwalk two weeks back. Quite surprised at myself for being so excited about it. It has been quite a while since I had taken such a long walk. 7km? 10km? Wow... come to think of it now... How did I managed to finish the walk? Haha...

My goal was to finish the walk within the time limit and get a certificate. The determination was there... But as I walk.... half way through... my body starts to get tired.. with sore feet... Thoughts of I never reach there in time came and dampen my spirit. Felt like giving up at that time but I kept going hoping a miracle could happen? Hahaha.... And indeed, it was a miracle... i reached... i finish the race... and I got the certificate. Praise God for His strength.

It was indeed a good walk. It wasn't just a walk but rather a lesson for me as well. That walk reminds me of my life journey. Many of times in life, we tend to give up when things doesn't seem to go our way or things just didn't turned out the way we expect. And it is at this time we felt discouraged, not knowing what to do or where to go. But yet God is Almighty... He has a better plan for me... Without His strength, I wouldn't be able to finish that walk.... And it is the same with my life journey.

God, give me the strength to walk this journey with you.

That at the end of my life journey

I am able to say just as Paul did that

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

darkness

seems like a neverending journey

darkness looms

uncertainties remain

heat

i can feel the heat

.:burning within me:.

Take A Break

a time to reflect
a time to rest
a time to play
a time to laugh
a time to dream
a time to pray

-i need a break-

Change

Someone was just talking about change today. And it somehow got me thinking as well. Kinda inspired me to be the change instead of waiting for change to happen. I guess it's always the hardest things to do but yet somehow... we just need to start somewhere... So, let us welcome change into our lives..

Welcome Change

.: by Gina Whitacre :.

Change is inevitable,
But yet we fight it, just the same.

Change is essential to our evolution.

Change is going to happen,
In fact, it happens every day,
Maybe it is too small to see, or perhaps we would rather not see it.

We fight change, because we fight the unknown,
We fight the unknown, because we are scared,
Scared of change, scared of the unknown.

If we were to allow change to happen freely,
We might find solutions to the problems that exist around us,
But instead, we are hung - up on controlling everything around us.

Maybe this is the problem with the world today.
Everyone assumes control of everything and does not allow nature to run her course.

Maybe this is why, we have devastating fall out from Nature,
Natural catastrophic disasters, such as fire and flooding.

We fight change, therefore we are fighting nature and her natural being and her existence
in the world that she has created by God’s hand and has graciously allowed us to be a
part of .

We should welcome change and allow nature to control our destiny.

Change is uncontrollable,
Change is inevitable,
Change is the unknown.

Nature takes pride in being one of life’s illusive wonders, the unknown.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Journey

"The road of life twist and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination."

~ Don Williams, Jr ~

On my way here
Where I am now
I've learned to fly
I have to want to leave the ground
I've fallen hard
But I've been loved
And in the end it all works out
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here

-On my way here, Clay Aiken-

Thank you Lord for leading me to where I am today.

still

My colleague invited me to his church for an evening praise with the Korean missionary singers. Was contemplating whether to go as the others weren't able to make it. But at last, I went also. I'm glad I went cause it was an amazing night. We sang for hours.. And as we were singing the song "Still" by Hillsong, it reminds me of the video I saw the night before during a talk organized by Malaysian Nature Society (MNS). Err.. Not really a talk but rather a slide presentation on nesting and some exotic bird species.

The video was about a mother bird covering her young under her wings, shielding them from wind and rain. As I sing this song, I felt just like the little birds. So weak and frail. That I need to hide under the wings for protection.

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

Thank You Lord that when I am weak, You covered me within Your mighty hand. Help me to be still in times like this.

promise

Last Sunday, pastor shared how he felt when he heard about the rise of petrol price on Wednesday. Many are unhappy with the sudden change of decision. Empty promises.. Though men may break their promises, but there is One Person who never breaks His promises. There is a faithful, promise-keeping God in heaven.

As he was sharing this, I was reminded of the wonderful promise on waiting.

Even youths will faint and be weary,
and the young will fall exhausted;
but those who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.

Indeed, waiting is the hardest thing to do. Hope and patience is what I need as I learn to wait. Though i may not be soaring right now, but Lord, help me to walk and not faint.

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me on this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel

the wait

Waiting is our destiny as creatures who cannot by themselves bring about what they hope for.
We wait in the darkness for a flame we cannot light,
We wait in fear for a happy ending we cannot write,
We wait for a not yet that feels like a not ever.
Waiting is the hardest work of hope.

How long will the wait be? What does it take to wait well?
