a NEW year, NEW resolutions, new DREAMS! ~~

wolalala....haha...i am back...yesh..today after sis kless and xuan reminded that i have "backsliden from my blog, then i realise haha..so long i have never come and leave a trace of my footsteps here laiox... lolx! haha...okokie.i repent and I recommit myself back to blogging once again... haha :-)

Indeed, year 2005 has been a year full of many ups and of course, many downs for me as well. Went through many things, learnt many things, seen many things as well. But all in all, just want to thank God that He has pulled me through, and walked me through the last 12 months. If God was not my source of Strength, I could not imagine what life would have been like for me....wow seh...i guess only my dear dear knows what I meant...:p

anyway, like what Pastor Kong preached 2 weeks ago, I do not want to be like Lot's wife i.e. not to look back at year 2005 and lament what I could have done. Instead, I tell myself, whatever I did not achieve in year 2005, I will make it happen in year 2006 ^-^ I am sure it is not going to be easy. But anyway, no one ever say life is easy lor... and without problems and trials, probably u are not living on planet earth?

Today Bro Isaiah called for a meeting at Suntec office for a time of sharing of the vision for the cellgroup as well as for our own individual life. I was filled with expectancy really the whole day...wondering what was he going to share. Frankly, I have not really started to pray and ask God for His vision for the cellgroup and my own visions for this coming year...only have very vague ideas... must and am going to seriously come before the Lord soon this week to pray and seek Him. Anyway, something that Bro Isaiah strike me hard in the face. An extract of his sharing:

Like the Roman empire in the roman empire days, when the Roman armies went to conquer a land, they bring in their culture, their food, their beliefs and everything and convert the people. Why they do not kill all the people in that land and bring in their own armies? Firstly, they gain the respect of the people there and win them over to their side. Secondly, they do not weaken their base by sending their troops to occupy the new land and their base become weaken.

wow.... ya... so true isn't it? We have been learning all the time about being a conqueror, be a light in the marketplace. Wherever we go, whereever we earn our bread and butter, that is our land to conquer and thats is where we should shine like stars! Why should we let the cares of the world influence us? Why should we let our colleagues and friends in the world corrupt our thinking? Has not the bible already told us very clearly that we should go all out and bring the people into the Kingdom of God? Yes, to build the kingdom of God is not a one man's dream or one man's business. Its you and I and everyone who is a CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ! Do not let yourself be corrupted and won over by the world. Instead, win the world for Christ!

Then Sis Kless also shared something very profound. She said despite everyone of us having our own problems, we need to start to learn to put God's problems above our own problems. When we can learn to put God's problems first, and we try to Solve His problems, God naturally takes care of our problems. Its a simple truth, but I will say not many people can grapple with this truth. WHy? Cos human beings are not able to exercise that element in them called "FAITH". People often blame God for their problems, blame the people around them for not understanding them, blame the society, blame this and that...but never point the fingers at themselves. Ever stop to think, if you can stop and ponder why,prob u can find the answer. AS YOU BUILD GOD'S HOUSE, GOD WILL BUILD YOUR HOUSE. amen!!!! The world is still spining. So come on, make full use of the time that you have on this earth!
