handling human relationships had been difficult, tricky, tiring.... ive always wanted to put down my roles, my duties and be missing for just awhile. things that im doing is what i want or just to please the people ard me?


-----BUT these are my thoughts yesterday..

Today, I read this passage from huimin's email and its encouraging...
Don't Give Up.....

One day I decided to quit... I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me..."Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
"In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. " He said.
"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots?"."I would not quit on the bamboo and likewise I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others." He said."The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and brought back this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up. For the prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

not only this passage, God spoke to me thrg cell, thrg my leaders, brothers and sisters, my life, the environment, and everything everything else....

Its the power of Hope

today's sermon really touched me. It makes me start to reflect on my life. I was chit chatting with huimin and begins to envy how pure and innocent we were when we just received Christ. You will never find it hard or a burden to be a christian. But yet, you always enjoyed being with the family of Christ, with your Heavenly Daddy...

Yes, I want back that pure soul.
Yes, I still want to harbour hope in life, in God, in people ard me, in everything.
Even if its a glimpse of hope, I know God will let it grow grow GROW!!! :)

Sometimes in life, we meet trials and tribulations that we can't solve. We chose to stay stagnant, or even fall deep into it. Which leads to what we always say, "I'm emo." Okays, I admit that I do said that often. But unknowingly, it will gradually leads the person to fall into depression. Statistics shown there is an increasing rate of people falling into depression.
Why not, we don't dwell in the matter but solve it, face it! Somewhat, God will open up a way to you. He will bring light to your path and brings you through it!! :)
