Its beginning.

Can you hear it from a distant? Can you smell the fire burning the passion? Can you?

Its dark now, the night before the semester begins for most of us. in a couple of hours, we will lay our head to rest. In a few hours, the city will be asleep, not so much of a sound on the street.

In less than twenty hours, the lights will be turned on. The sun will rise, the streets flooded with roaring machines. You got your stuff set, you’re prepared for school all over again. But are you really ready?

A friend once said, “ Don’t regret mistakes done yesterday, for you learn from it.Regrets are for the same mistakes done today.”

So are you ready? You’re all set for the journey, got your new year’s resolution for new shoes. But are you ready to take a new step? You might have slipped the last time, fell, stood and walked. But are you going to walk the same path?

Someone wise once said, “ Don’t walk on the road, but walk the path not taken and leave a trail”.

This year, let’s not settle for second best. We are capable of much more greater things. The Creator said, ask anything in My name and I will have it done. My friend, He is ready, has always been.

Question now is, are you ready?

Build the fire. Get ready, cause when you are, He will Ignite you.

Goodbye 2010!

Welcome to our CF's blog, fellow faithful readers! *Give yourself a big clap for taking the effort to click in.

Today was our last CF meeting for the year as we waved goodbye to 2010, and hello 2011. Of course, looking forward to greater things to come! Had 22 precious CF members and newcomers altogether at our Goodbye 2010 CF. A warm welcome to our newcomers- Joyce #2 (Joyce #1 is the talented pianist in CF), Harvinder and Serina. And it's sooo good to see Te May, Joanne, Janel, Jo Ann, Hon Sen for their 2nd CF today!

As it was our last CF of 2010, we kickstart-ed CF with a slideshow of CF happenings & power-packed events this whole year- SEGi Revolution P.A.R.T.Y., SEGi CF Camp, Campus Revo and a few more (which I forgotten). ;p

Proceeded to games led by AiLynn, and worship led by Fee Vien. Had a an awesome time listening to Mr. Francis sharing on 3 points:
a) Acknowledge God that He exists
b) Have a personal relationship with Him
c) Listen to Him

Later on, he shared a personal heartwarming story about his 5 years old daughter.
*While putting her to bed,
Mr Francis: Can you remain this cute and don't grow up (while cupping her face in the palm of his hands) forever?
Daughter: Forever?
Mr. Francis: Yeah, forever.
Daughter: Why?
Mr. Francis: Coz you're cute- as in this size and all.
Daughter: Leave it in the hands of God.

As many of us in CF know, Mr. Francis has also been like a father to many of us here. On another note, today, God is wanting to have that personal father-son/daughter relationship with us. Do you want to have a relationship with him? Or are you already in one- break up then get back to God, then break up again? It's your choice. No force. But we know a relationship with God is the best among any other. Why? Coz He will never break up with us or leave us. No matter how many times we have failed him. =)

Ok ok, back to CF. And so, after sharing, we had testimonies by life-changing people: Misha, Prasanand, Jevin. And because we had another class waiting to use the Theatre Hall for class, we ended with our CF 2010 highlights video. Credits given to Prasanand. Will try to post the video + slideshows up here as soon as possible.

After CF, some of us who could make it, celebrated Prasanand's birthday @ Sunway Pyramid. His Christmas wish was a Bible yo! But we couldn't wait till Christmas, so we got him for his 19 birthday coming up soon!

Gonna end here with a quote...

"Remember God daily"- by Mr. Francis. =) Continue reading...

In the end.

Another month and the year come to an end. Pull out the papers and diary in which you scribbled on 31st December, the words you promised you would fulfil. Replay those words you once told yourself. Now, when the year ends, does your dream end there too? Do your little promises to yourself go unfulfilled?

I would say that is very much up to you. If you wanted to make a change, go make that change, you’ve still got time, an entire lifetime to be precise. If it’s getting fit, go take a run then. Whatever it is, this year, instead of making false promises and failing on it, let’s live it up!

And just because I said you have an entire lifetime, does not mean you get to take your time, because no one is sure when lifetime ends for them. Scary truth. So start living it up, put your hopes, dreams, promises, on the line, challenge it, and let the Maker help you out.

And when your dreams and whatever you have worked for works out well, that would be a good part, because that’s when you get a new dream, a new passion for new things. (quoted Rapunzel the movie)

But if things don’t work out, remember:

If we win, we praise Him, and if we lose, we praise Him still (quoted Facing the Giants the movie)

Sometimes He breaks you to make you. A better you, the kind you never thought you could ever possibly be. The kind you never imagined.

Go, put it on the line. Your hopes, dreams and promises.

The Shepherd knows His sheeps

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalms 23:1

Any ordinary shepherd would do this when his sheep strays too far away from him. The shepherd would break one of the legs of the sheep. And he would carry the sheep on his back around his shoulder. As soon as the sheep's leg heals, it will never stray too far away ever again. Not because it is afraid its other legs might be broken, but because it knows the master so well after spending all the time around his shoulders. Simply because it knows the master, it does not want to leave the master. as told by Derik Lin

If you're broken, take this time to rest. While you heal, He will carry you on his shoulders.

For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. -The Good Shepherd Jeremiah 29:11

Good day.

We are Soldiers.

Of Mountains and Battles.

Our life's are made out of so many things- routines, expectations, miracles, accomplishments, and battles.

Battles.

We all have our own battles. Some battles we have won, some are not meant to be won, but to learn from, while some others are still being fought at the battleground.

Recently, some of us had the opportunity to rejuvenate in His presence at the mountain tops- the SEGi CF Camp. The mountain tops are usually the place where, in the Bible, God meets his anointed ones. One of the many was Moses. The mountain tops and the hill tops are where we are left alone, far from our routines, from distractions, where its just you and Him. Where that still small voice seems loud and clear. Where you gain your strength, to fight the battles.

But remember when you get back to the valleys, the battle is still on. Remember also that His hands are always upon you. Do not forget that still small voice, for it might seem unclear and distant, but He never stopped speaking. The stronger you are, the harder the battle will be. For those who have just arrived at the battle ground, welcome back soldiers, we have been waiting for you. For those who had to stay back, do not give up.

Rise, rise and rise again until lambs become lions -Robin Hood

Fight your fight. Sickness, unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, shattered dreams, crushed hope, whatever ti is - fight is and fight for it. The battle is still on, you can sit back in the shelter and watch how you are loosing, or, put on that armor- and fight the good fight. If you fall, remember to rise up, remember the war has been won for us.

Won for you and I.

Rise up, fight, He will never forsake you, His hands will be upon you.

Soldiers, rise up. Fight. Continue reading...

Testimony

I think God is funny and nice and is full of surprises.

Like i said in the posts much earlier, I don't post another post after a few minutes. But He just makes me do it. why?

Here's why?
Because I was blogging earlier and I, like any of you was trying hard to believe in what I write, it was a challenge for myself. Then, as soon as I was done, the very thing I was worried about, its taken care of.

Isn't He awesome. He is. He really is.

Now you try. Rest. Continue reading...
