On my way back today from the island... I took the ferry home and since the ferry was so packed i decided to stand on the sunny and windy side of the ferry.
It was a beautiful sight, the whole thing. The color of the sea was deep and dark green unlike any other days which is usually brownish because of the dirt. Today the breeze was strong blowing from the bridge side with a few large ships park in the middle of the strait. Waves were splashing high against the side of the ferry and forming foams as they land on the surface of the sea.
What chought my attention was the waves, I noticed that waves overlap each other as they go head on. One goes on top and the other goes under but comes up behind the other one. I wiched i had a camera to record all these beautiful sight but sadly.
Just like i've said before the ocean is majestic, just like our God is. No words can comprehend His awesome greatness and the beauty of His creation.

Reflecting Back
(I typed this twice over coz the stupid of the stupid pc, the whiole page went missing as i was trying to select all.)
Anyways today was pretty exciting for the Prai youth. God was there. It was pretty discouragin at first I was going to called it canceled but we went anyway. There were only 5 people thought to be attending it but then one of the younger youths came and we went on with the worship. We sang three songs with Becca playing the piano and Charis on bass, and i was playing the guitar and singing. Its started off pretty bad, can't play guitar and sing at the same time but i did what was needed and i did my best. as we were singing the first song 2 more youths came in and the number increased. then we went on to the second song which was Hungry and 2 more came which made the group bigger. God was faithful as we do what he calls us to do. He will not let what he started die and this is how God is. As we worshipped He just brought more people, thank God i did not call Pastor Cowen to cancel it. I believe God was trying to show me that we're not supposed to give up when things don't turn out well in the first place.
The highlight of the meeting was praying for the Hindus with their Taiphusam festival coming up this Tuesday. Prayed that God will open thier eyes to see the truth and the light. prayed for salvation. Then later we played Pictionary with all of us getting excited trying to stop the other team from moving forward. Then Jonathan and Ee Kai joined us after finishing their work over at Praise. So the total number of people was 13 which was a blessing to me.

One Productive Day, Make it a productive week, better still a better month, even better a year, best a lifetime
Yesterday was pretty good. Heavenly Man was speaking in Dewan Tunku, Penang sharing his testimony. Even though i couldn't really hear what he was saying coz of a couple of annoying kids right infront of me. But i believe that many people were thouched by his testimony. God was moving in that place for certain. Bro Yun was on fire and he loves to sing. To me he is the modern day Paul if you guys know what I'm saying. Also a modern day Peter, it's like Paul and Peter together. He sang in prison, and was led out of a high security prison by God even when his legs were broken but he totally forgotten about it. His story really touched many lives that night though i wish i was able to get a clearer audio of it without kids distracting.
was doing lot's of stuff at college yesterday unlike the other days before. This terms gonna be very busy with up coming projects and designs, also a 12 page assignment. Need prayer to stay focused on God at times like this. It's really hard, everytime i go to college i don't have time to read my devotionals. And work keep on piling up with posters, bruchures, billboard, press ad, name card, folder, letter head, and envelope design.. now i have to re-write my 1000 words resume because i changed my company name and logo. But i like it, it's called perspective inspired by the song Perspective by Kutless. "by changing your angle... (things) would be revealed to you once blinded eyes by moving a few degrees" thats why i called my company perspective, this would then evolve when i graduate and start working with mission organizations to perspective missions. It's to change peoples views on missions and to challenge people to go out as I feel it is my calling to do that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prayer points:
-that God will provide my needs
-that I won't lose Focus on God
-that what i do will always, always glorify God
-that i will be able to spend more time with God

What a week..
This week has been pretty ok, since there are also lotsa work to do and i can't do it coz my brother's using the computer. Anyway, God has been gracious this week in giving me strength to carry on life in college as it's been pretty tiring since i haven't been to college for more than a month coz i was down with chicken pox.
personal prayer:
Hey God, thanks for giving me strength to carry on this week. I pray that you'll continue to show me grace and guide me to walking in your ways. Help me not to stumble and fall or cause anyone to fumble. Please continue to strengthen me and help me to grow to be more and more like you. It's hard to live in this world alone. I can't immagine not knowing you, how life would be would be totally out of my mind. There's lotsa work that needs to be done help me finish them in time and do them well. Amen.
notes:
Really need a new computer hopefully a laptop, that would be better to work and move around. need to pray about it.
how i have grown this past week and what i can improve on:
hm.. i don't really know if i have grown much but i may have slagged a little bit haven't read my daily devotional's for 2 days now.
i need to seek God more in having more quiet time and listening to God's voice, need to pray and ask God to help me walk the walk.
need to come back to the Father's heart more often.

Vision
few days ago i got a vision while waiting on God.
I saw in it was green grass and some small flowers on a high cliff of rocks.
there were waves beating on the rocks but the grass was way higher than where the waves could reach.
the grass represented us christians and the rocky cliff below was Jesus our rock
the waves was the world.
the world is always coming at us with things that distract us and continously throwing things in our faces but as long as we stay on the ROCK we will not falter.

What a way to start the new year.. *rage*
What a way to start the new year indeed. It started out with Chicken Pox of all things. I couldn't go help move house couldn't go for my 1st week of school and the say there lot's of thing to be done. I'm doomed** but I'm getting well which is pretty fast just a week of stuff and it's all dried up just waiting for it to drop off and I'm good to go. Been doing my devotions even though I'm sufferin, cool eh? Come to think of it I'm not really sufferin I'm just suffering from boredom(however u spell that).
it's a pretty wild new year even though I can't make it for OCOV missed it twice already. Some younger ones are going working to get some cash, wish I could do that too. It's good experience for them. Should learn to get responsible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Been doing some deep thinkin lately, it may sound weird but it's actually not. Come to think of it I'll be 20 this year... uhuh.. 20.. Getting old.. As people will say but I prefer to look to the other side and say still young because there are still important thing that need to be done like reaching out to unreached people groups and doing what I'm passionate about; going to mission field and encouraging people to go too. Just can't wait to get out of college and going back on that track. But it's not gonna be easy. I mean just to think of having finished college coming out needing to work which is kinda a problem for me having no degree and cash, on the other hand going on mission fields is another issue coz having no support is really though but it's good to learn to lean and trust God. It teaches me to count on God. Still then I'm already starting to worry, I just can't help it, especially of finding the person I'm gonna be spending the rest of my life with now that I'm turning 21 the year after. After college look, for job, go mission field get a video cam... argh... it's all crackin my brain. I'm getting all paranoid. God... save me...
Too many things top think about... things i shouldn't be thinkin about now. It's like the saying don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself, but i'm trying to make plans at the same time worrying while making them. I'm trying to drive on get on with life but what can be done I have nothing to do so i'm starting to worry and all that. It's a internal struggle that can't seem to end. I will try my bst to just leave it to God.
