Sharpen Your Axe
Years ago a young lunberjack asked the foreman of a logging crew for a job. The foreman replied, "Well, let's see if you're good enough to work for me. Cut down that tree." The young man stepped forward and skillfully cut the tree down. The foreman was impressed and exclaimed, "You can start Monday!"
Monday, Tuesday, Wenesday and Thursday rolled by. On Thursday afternoon the foreman appraoched the young man and said, "You can pick up your paycheck on the way out today." The young man was shocked and asked, "I thought you paid on Firday?" "Normally wedo," answered the foreman, "But we're letting you go today because you're fallen behind. You just aren't cutting down enough trees. You were in first place on Monday but dropped to last by Wednesday."
"But I'm a hard worker," the young man objected. "I arrive first, leave last, and even have worked through my breaks!" The foreman knew what the young man said was true and thought about the situation for a moment. A thought crossed his mind and he asked, "Have you been sharpening your axe?" the young man replied, "I've been working too hard to take the time."
Are you like the young man? Too busy... no time to sharpen your axe?
Take time off to spend time with God.
Have time for yourselve, think through things...
Time for you to sharpen your axe.

Transformation
Was preparing for tonight's sharing...
and the topic - TRANSFORMATION
and
Came across this passage...
Ivan McGuire died at the age of 35. His death at a young age was not due to an automobile accident or from terminal illness. He was not murdered, nor did he commit suicide. The skydiver forgot to put on his parachute before he jumped out of an airplane.
McGuire, who aspired to be the best sky-diving photographer in the country, evidently was so excited over filming some other skydivers that he just failed to put on his parachite. Since he was a veteran of over 800 jumps, he may not have been as careful as a novice would have been to check and recheck all of his equipment.
It is hard to imagine that a seasoned sky-diver could forget to put on his parachute!
*taken from Saturate - Student Discipleship ministries. (www.gosdm.org)*
Few thoughts that bug me after read this passage;
1. am i too comfortable at where i am right now and did not guard my heart?
2. did i unbuckle my belt of truth? am i still holding my breastplate of righteousness?
I guess sometimes when we are in a situation or a place for too long we tend to get use to you and did not do a check on our equipments.
Got to remind myself to check my equipments for safety purposes =)

lazy climb
Went climbing early and come back early...
i think i just did some lazy climb today. Didn't climb much... did 2 new routes and practice hand stand. Got to put in more effort to train. Lack of discipline. Come home early and practice dance. The steps are getting more and more challenging, got to get use to the beat.
Got to get back on track... been lazy. sigh...

Frontdesk
Am sitting at the Lobby, enjoying the free wifi service.
Sitting at the frontdesk of Genting View Resort is a young malay lady. I wonder what time her shift ends.
Those people that are on the night shift, have to stay up... attend to the needs of the customer anytime, WITH A SMILE.... OK, the frontdesk lady isn't that friendly. She was throwing tantrum. Is she realized that I am here? hmmmm...
Today was not my best day.
Lunch was not ok, technical side was not ok... and the toilet!!! it's dirty! but towards the end of the day, they at least clean the toilet more frequent. and drinking water was enough for everyone... but now the hall is really messy with our normal communion thing.
Hopefully by tomorrow the housekeeping people will be able to clean it on time for us. Tomorrow we will be checking out. and I really look forward to go home! Can't wait to be home. I miss my mom, my room and elephant. Can't sleep well here... and the blanket, i miss my blanket at home.
Life Impact ministry conducted church game for us. I am really impress on how they put the whole church into a board game!!! They also have created others games - life game, mission game etc etc... very interesting.
BTW... Kaz is dragging a "dead fish"

Leadership retreat
We checked in at 4pm. I suppose to be at the resort by 3. But because of some barriers... etc etc ended arriving at the resort at 3:30pm. Many of us arrived around that time. I was rushing like mad. That is not suppose to happen. But thank God i have everything planned out in my mind, so when i arrived, i just go according to plan. screw up here and there, but still manageable i guess.
Church game is really interesting. I thought they are very interesting. and very creative =)
The hall was erm... not in a satisfactory condition =( first night tripped, but they manage to get the electricity up, but on 2nd day... sigh, it's a sad story. Toilet no lights, walk way no lights. But the resort respond not too bad la, they quite efficient, considering it's raya... Quite kesian also those people that need to work. Can't go back to spend time with family.
Me on the other hand, get to know some teens. They are cool. Get to know Sul Wen, Eunice, Sharmyne, Nicholas, and others. They are so playful!!! and hor, they build the best church - in Church Game.
It's good retreat... but then I was dead tired at the end of the retreat, and on the last day i was super stress. sigh... next time i should learn to be more relax.

I am well now
Was feeling nausea for the past 2 days... suspected food poisoning, but i didn't go to the doctor, therefore not sure if is it really food poisoning. but it shows symptom of food poisoning though. Looks like we are taking turns... It started with my grandma, then my aunt, then me... its my mom's turn.
During these 2 days, i experience the power of healing. Was vomiting and diarrhea the day before, the feeling is horrible, i was really weak... feel drained, dehydrated. But I remember this is what I prayed, "under any circumstances, i refuse to believe that i will not get speedily, In the name of Jesus i speak healing, and i'll be able to make for the leadership retreat."
I wanted to go for leadership retreat it is not because of fun, but it is so that I can be there serve the leaders, and Steven do not need to look into admin things and he can have a great time and spend time with his family.
Neil prayed for me as well before i come home from church these afternoon... get some rest... took medicine, and praise the Lord, i am well now. But I miss my colleagues life message though. They are sharing their life messages this weekend. Well, i heard their life message before, but really wanted to be there to support.
Geared for Leadership retreat tomorrow. I hope i have packed everything.

See the multitude
Multitudes...
tonight prayer meet, pastor shared about MULTITUDE....
John 4
why don't we see "multitude" just as Jesus sees?
1. Prejudice...
2. Tradition...
3. We are too caught up in the natural
4. Procrastination... we did not see the urgency
To have a "multitude" vision, we need to have a "multitude" vision...
Pastor's heart is really to build a "community" church, and i hear his heart... and i agree with him actually... my heart click with what he shared... and i can't help but smile... i m just glad that i am in this church... building and growing together with the church.
So, need to see multitude, enlarge my vision...
Lord, break my heart and make it clean. Open up my eyes to the things unseen. Teach me how to love like you, have love me...

Watcha Gonna Do???
as of 14th september 2009 grandma is away for 128th day.
I miss her a lot. and this morning got a sms from my best friend - informing that her dad has just passed away. it was a shock for me... her dad... every now and then i will see him yam cha with his friend around the housing area...
Can see the sadness in the eyes of my God mom. I know this is God's timing. His perfect timing.
Heard of many illness.... and quite a number of death.
Truly admire the faith of someone that i look up to and respect. Her trust in the Lord is spelled out in her action.
She always tell us to live each day as though it is our last.
Her dream, her desire... it's to make students leaders and that's her focus. No matter how busy she is, she still put people first. She taught us to serve others by her serving. She never think highly about herself. she is never tired of teaching and helping us to live life to the fullest.
I think she live a full life.
What am i going to do with my life?
I don't wanna put 20cents in front of my eyes... God is bigger then 20cents. He is... He really is.

Outdoor climbing
When outdoor climbing on Sept 7, 2oo9.
i didn't finish the "lightning" route. Actually i was rather disappointed, but i will go back and conquer it!!!
Why didn't i finish the route? i was just 3 meters away!!! well, that's because i was in FEAR. I slipped and fell... as a result i was swinging in the air... that moment i think my heart stop beating for a second. anyhu, i was in fear, i could not continue the climb... therefore i asked JorHan to put me down... well rather disappointed, but i shall conquer it!!!
FEAR, crippled me many times... because of fear, i dare not speak out... because of fear... fear of the unknown, i dare not try out... i rather stay at where i know best... fear... something that i can overcome with the help of God.
Being courages... it's easier said then done... but can be done.

Change your world
Being part of the committee, it force me to read up more about the injustice that has happened in the world.
The more i read about facts on human trafficking, poverty, hunger... etc... i realized how ignorance i was towards the needy people out there. I got to change my way...
