Just when I was about to type down what I learn, the class suddenly ended... Ha-ha..
Nonetheless, let me blog down something...
1) Data
2) Information
3) Knowledge
Data is pure facts.
Information is the analysis, classifying, patters of data.
Knowledge is the application of information...
see ya...

exhortations
woohoo... I am so excited now. waiting for Christian, we are going to racky... explore. I feel so much like full-time now. Able to "GO" anytime the church needs to get something done. Thank God, my friday lessons are all canceled so I don't need to SPECIALLY apply "OFF" for it. Ha-ha!!!
The past 2 weeks have been a CHANGE.
I am getting used to school.
I am changing the way I think.
I am changing the way I talk.
the way I see things.
the way I perceive, etc...
I feel different, but I feel good!
Thats why this quote is just so sensible:
"The only constant in the world is change". But well, God is constant too, He has, and will always be the same. But other than God, every other things changes all the time.
And that is good!
I sound like Genesis. [God created the heavens and God saw that it was good.] Lol...
Many random thoughts going through my mind, so I will just bombard them all out now before Christian arrives... It is good to be early! =)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Pastor LIA!!!
I find it very hard to describe you, my spiritual mother!
The word "Wonderful" underestimates you!
"Wise" under-statement you!
If i were to say you are "loving", it is considered an insult...
If I really have to find some word to describe you, I might have to speak in tongues! Ha-ha!
You are so important in my life! You have changed me and given me life...
Thank you Pastor!

Whatever you focus on will grow!
How many of you want to do great things in life? How many of you do actually have some form of dreams, be it those that you wish would come true, or those that you do not think will come true…
I believe all of you have dreams.
So do I.
I want to carry the burden of my Pastors and my leaders. I want to be a pastor – in that order.
You would have heard of Martin Luther King Jr’s famous speech “I have a dream” – his dream came true.
You would have heard William Wilberforce who dreamt and fight against the slave trade – his dream came true 4 days shortly after he died.
You would have heard of Pastor How and Pastor Lia who dreamt that one day we would have a “cross-shaped” stage – their dreams came true.
So how do you let that dream or goal of yours get born into reality…
First) FIRST. That’s right, it is not a typo, nor am I sleepy. You got to be willing to put it first in your life. If you do not want it hard enough, how would you be able to get it? How would you even deserve it if you get it.
Matt 6:33 “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”. I believe your dreams are included in “all these things”.
So seek them first! Chase after your Godly visions and goals!
Second) Oblige. Many people hear this word and they sulk because no one likes to do something out of obligation. It doesn’t bring comfort to a soul.
When you are obliged to give, means that you do it because someone tells you so.
When you are obliged, you don’t do it willingly.
Oblige is the opposite of willingness.
Never feel oblige.
But before I kill the word “oblige” in your heart, how many of you want to hear why it is the second point to make your dreams real.
Open your ears and listen to me attentively (Or read carefully). If you really want to do something, you will not let it go, to the extent that you feel obliged to keep to it and never give it up.
It is like “Others can, I cannot”.
People can choose not to pray, nor tithe, but I don’t give myself a choice. I must do it if I want to be this...that... or that...
Obligation
If you feel that way towards your dreams, I believe strongly that your dream has a future! Because you never give up, and never give in!
Thirdly) Concentrate. I do not need to belabor this point. Give your attention, your mind, your energy and concentrate on what you want to achieve/accomplish.
Concentration is the secret of strength – Ralph Waldo Emerson (An American poet, lecturer, essayist)
If you are able to concentrate, you can do 1 thing well.
If you are able to muster the skill of concentrating as and when you want, you can do many things well.
Fourthly) Understand. It is not enough to have a dream and run after it. You need to understand the situation and find the best way to achieve your goal.
There is a Chinese sayings “Zhi di zhi bi, bai zhang bai sheng”. It means that you need to know your enemy, and yourself, then you can have successful victories. Understand the situation, understand your strength and weakness, so you can exalt on your strengths and work on your weaknesses, and enjoy winning your battles!
Fifth) Serious. Get serious. If you really want it, you get serious and make things happen. Willingness drives.
Willingness sparks energy!
Willingness speaks about the extra mile!
Only when you are serious about it!
When you are serious about this, you give up something else.
“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Are you serious enough to chase after your dreams.........and give up other things? You know what might hinder you...
So are you going to get serious?...I hope you do.
So how are you accomplishing your dream and destiny?
If you want to see it come true, you need to have the five points!
1) First
2) Obligation
3) Concentrate
4) Understand
5) Serious
Let me tell you, if you are able to FOCUS, you will be able to do great exploits for God!
It is the power of FOCUS that brings one far!
Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
That is why, whatever a man can imagine himself to be, he shall become.
It is the faith, 4dimension power!
The total mustering of energy and mind to do 1 thing that creates the change in it.
Whatever you FOCUSes on, will grow.
What are you FOCUSing everyday? How about today?
I believe all of you have dreams.
So do I.
I want to carry the burden of my Pastors and my leaders. I want to be a pastor – in that order.
You would have heard of Martin Luther King Jr’s famous speech “I have a dream” – his dream came true.

1, 2, 3
I had this inspiration all of a sudden so as a blogger, I will type it out. Ha-ha...
Interestingly, if you ask me where is my fav spot or location in life. I will ask you back, with whom it concerns with... Because if it is with man, i am not too sure, as it doesnt really matter, but if it is WITH GOD, i must say it is the toilet...
It is the place where I go to when I am down, when I am happy, when I am stuck, growing, depressed, delighted, whatever! It is where revelation comes, convictions are set... It is where I find God.. It is my secret place!
This inspiration came from there too. =P
So 1,2,3. Everyone has been talking about it for the past 1 to 2 months at least.
Let me tell you what is my 1, 2, 3.
They are:
1) Master
2) Mission
3) Mate
My no.1 always comes first, nothing can replace. In fact, when I think through my life, and really know why I love no.1, then I thought I might like no.2 a bit as they are related in some senes. But still, I like no.1 most! Then when time passes, no.3 will also come into the picture just to show that I really like no.1 and no.3 happens to be a support for that conviction. So why must I still have 1, 2 and 3 when I know I have my 1 already. It is to prove that aout of MANY CHOICES in life, you will still choose this 1. That makes it precious. 2 and 3 are important, i must say, but i never neglect 1!!

Photos
Posted a few photos into my computer and decided to blog it out too because my Handphone cannot store more than 5 photos! Pathetic. ha-ha.. lost the memory card during some servicing checks...
You can guess what it is. These were Su Ling's surprise birthday presents. Ha-ha. It was so funny! But the truth is... yet to be unveiled.. ha-ha. By the time Su Ling reads my blog, she will have know it already. Ha-ha. So Shhh....
Picture 2: Familiar to everyone who came to Heart of God Church before September 2007.
These 2 pictures are the lobby of FTMS house. If you recall the beautiful lights, and the 3 lifts. And seriously, it the building has turned into GE Money. And you actually needs to "tap" your card before entering the lifts. Aw... We couldn't explore upstairs. But well, the future is more amazing. Ha-ha.
Picture 3: Out of the blue, funny people.
This is a bicycle being chained to the poles of a "monkey bar". I wonder who did that. A bit creative, but quite unthoughtful? Hmmm...
Picture 4: Advertisement at Yishun Library. Funny! and thought-provoking.
The signs read: Please protect Library books.
Read and understand. =)
What are your thoughts after reading the advert? What does it tell you about SG gov? The way they do things?
Picture 1: 3 packets of tissues and 1 crumpled newspaper.

parable
I loves parables. Jesus loves to preach in parables!
It relates better to people who understands it...
That is why Jesus used many stories of fisherman and farmers in the 4gospels... and taxpayers etc...
Yup... And I love the bible very much so i always remember the stories in the bible, and talk about it in my daily conversations. hence, sometimes, some people may not understand immediately what I am saying until I explain to them the story that I used to illustrate my points then they understand... yup... Well, i feel that it is both good and bad to be like this.
Good that I know the bible stories. I can use them to encourage myself or others when needed.
Bad that if i use them too often and does not explain enough, people will not understand what I am saying...
So should always spare a thoughts for people.
Love others as you love yourself... - golden rule from Jesus.
Lets have bedtime POEM before I sleep.
2 are better than 1,
a 3 fold cord is not easily broken.
Blessed it is, to have friends around you,
Ecclesiastes is a great book!
1 book after is a different story...
the songs of Solomon is something else... and more.
Read and you shall understand,
what Solomon was trying to bring to hand.
His life, his behavior and his thoughts,
as he was growing through his emotions.
It is God's desire that 1, we become,
but before, strong that 1 should be.
To withhold, refrain, and have true freedom.
Saying a millions "yes" but a few IMPORTANT "no".
In case i digress...
2 are better than 1.
Encouragement, you do to each other in adversity...
Friends are so important.
I shall stay in Ecclesiastes for the time being...
=P

Purpose of blogging
Finding something to post today and decided on this one... what is my purpose in blogging...
1) It helps me to think about life. Whenever you blog, you will sure touch on your life issues. Out of the heart, the mouth speaks. And for the blogger version - out of the heart, the hand types. So whatever that is happening to you will surely be publicize on your blog depending on your courage to show it out, and your command of language to spice it up, and your determination to actually do it... People usually pass the first 2 but fail at the last one. =P
2) It influences. I will sure love to write a book next time when I am established and the church is going on well, with people running it. I believe Pastors will sure write too... Write our revelations, whatever God has shown us in our lives. Our convictions, our knowledge. Our versions of the Bible perceived. Our perspective of God encountered. Our revelations of the truth of God. So i pray that whatever I write will help someone, somewhere, somewhat, somehow in something...
3) It allows me to plan. One other thing that i like about blogging is also that as I type, i also begin to plan things. I plan my life, settle things, and sets a platform for further planning. It is pretty a good tool to get your brainstorming juice warmed up. Yup!
4) It recollects my life, my encounters. Pastor shared with us before that they have a revelation or thinking book where they write revelations from God, plannings for the church or any sorts. So that book kinda punctuates their life stories with the special encounters and processes they go through. So blog is like my style of doing it... Whatever revelations I have or thoughts that I think, it goes up. (Except a few that are personal and confidential) That will sure need some privacy... ha-ha... Only a few are gained access. hahaha.
That is about it... how about you? Why do you blog?
