How Time Flies

Oh 2012. Indeed what a year. A year where the end of the world was not significant in my life XP.

For me I went through three semesters in a year which actually felt like 3 years. 3 phases. It was a moment of growth for me. Looking back, I know I have changed a lot. I do not regret everything I have been through at the same time I am grateful that by His grace protected me, guided me, with held from me certain things and prevented me from making certain wrong decisions in life.

Truly I believe that I am not the same man I was 12 months ago, 9 months ago, 6 months ago 1 month ago. As God continues to reveal His revelations through his word I am constantly amazed at how He works. Through out the year, God has revealed to me slowly the kind of person I am and how much that is still needed to be worked within me. I struggled, I fought and I am reminded of

Psalms 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world."

My peace comes from this verse. It is the thought that No matter what happens God is still in control. Sometimes the roads in our lives may not be pretty, but God is still with us, it is not defeat. As long as we are still in His will, it is not defeat. God always meant better things for us. So I will not fear. The Bible also says in 
Ecclesiastes 7:13 "Accept the way God does things, for who can straighten what he has made crooked?"

God intervenes in our lives sometimes for a reason. He is constantly involve in fact with us. Sometimes the best questions to ask is not "Why" but 'What and How'. What do you want me to learn from this? How to you want me to go about this situation? There are times God stays silent for the answer may not be required. There are times the answer will only be revealed in his perfect timing. So knowing He is control means we need to trust him. Trust him with all our heart and not to our own understanding. Ain't easy, but the better alternative of course =)
What to do next? 
Phillipians 4:6 "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done."

Instead of worrying what is going to happen next, pray about it. Know the power of prayer. The prayer that moves you towards Him. 
I am so running out of time here. SO I'll conclude with this. God has plans for everyone of you. Draw close to him and he will draw close to you. I have learnt that and truly it is an amazing experience. By experience I do not mean feeling Him here and there, shaking in the spirit and all but by experience I meant learning His will  through His word and daily activities for me bit by bit. 

I hope this encourages all of you. Chaoozz =)

My Testimony(My Grandmother)

So lately I haven't been updating my blog. I'll tell you why now. After my finals, I had to go to Penang, to visit my ill grandmother. My mother was pestering me and my brother to hurry back afraid she would not make it. My friends could see it in my face that I was troubled. So I did go to Penang with my friends on one Sunday morning. BTW, my grandmother suffered from cancer of the pancreas. Seeing my grandmother... I was in shock, she was so frail and thin. I ask her how was she and she replied " What do you think?" . I said " You look, very thin grandma" and she nodded. She was really weak. The next day she could not speak at all. She had no energy to open her eyes or even utter a word, just moan. My mother was taking care of her for the pass three weeks. I came and helped her out. My mum was teaching me how to take care of her and asked me to do it. Amazingly my grandmother was recovering. The next day she could talk. After that she could read the new...

Relationships are worth restoring

Just to be clear, when I said relationships I did not limit myself to just boyfriend/girlfriend but to every kind of possible relationships in this world. Relationships are always worth restoring. They are what matters most in life. Relationship with God,friends, siblings, with your boss, parents, soul mate, wife, children, etc. They build bridges between each other. If your live as a hermit, live within the shadows, think your are better off alone, then you wont grow. We can only grow in a community where we learn from our mistakes, humble ourselves,....wait getting off point here. Life is all about love. Love is the most powerful thing. We should learn how to love . For me, I would like to be in the ministry of restoring relationships. For those who do not know what ministry means, it means some kind of governing body or main focus in a job. For this case, governing body for restoring relationships. They are worth restoring because every relationship hold opportunities in greatness...

Be silent, and listen

What does it mean to wait, be silent , and listen?   Before I begin, I also be silent and think, whether this would bore you readers .....and then I continue XP  The words silent and listen are usually used in a parallel manner if you noticed. Doing these three things needs patience. There is always a time to be silent and a time to speak . One cannot listen if they are not silent. Sometimes, wisdom does not come from telling people what you know, showing them you are right, proving them wrong, later on to feel all high and mighty. Sometimes wisdom also means to be silent, hear them out, listen to all their wrongs and rights and taking it in. The right time will come to say the right words. Ever heard of.. ." It was the right thing to say, but wrong time to do it"? Yeah it is as you have read it. One can cause unfavourable damage if they keep speaking but on the other hand, one can lose opportunities when they become silent at times when they are needed to be heard. ...
