Introducing...

I hereby present to you, by far, the craziest, mad, hilarious, serious, loving, super the siao people that I've ever met in my entire life! (of course, the ones in Brunei are an exceptional. Haha) I present to you... ZONE GEE!!!

If it wasn't for them, I would have never felt so at home ever in my life in Singapore.

It's been an amazing, few months! The semester is about to end very soon, and I'm still having my exams as I'm typing all of this. I realized that I have not shared my heart for so long.... haha the last entry was like eons ago!

Met a super nice 70 year old lady on the train today. I took noticed of her because she still dresses up eventhough she's so old! Most older ladies would just stay on status quo, if you get what I mean. It's that mindset where you say, 'I'm old already la.. who cares.' But she still dresses up so nice and I complimented her and found out that she was a Christian. And she willingly told me that she's a breast cancer patient and I've never seen a happier breast cancer patient in my entire life. She's went through chemotherapy and yet she was still able to work, and her chemo did not hurt at all. She carries this strong, very convinced and confident peace and assurance inside of her and through her face. She's knows her Lord. More than a Saviour, more than a Healer, she knows Him as God, the Messiah. Wow! I'm totally inspired.

So funny how I meet so many different people on the train! All it really takes is a smile really. Though, I met some weird people too.. Haha.. oh dear, I won't go there.

I like it here. Ever since I've been here, I've gotten more hungry, more impacted, more inspired to do even greater, and to dream beyond what I could dream before. It's all about being progressive and knowing Him more.

Refining is good. Change is good. Not easy but will be good. Hehe, Paul found joy.. no wait, chose joy in tribulations. He knew his Saviour, not just his saviour but his King, his Lord, more than his Peace but also his Friend who'll never leave nor forsake him.

Your heart can only hold one substance inside. Faith or fear. It can never hold both. You cannot feel happy and angry at the same time. Neither can you have faith and yet fear at the same time. It just collides. And you won't get a pleasing momentum with that collision (physicist OK!). There's only room for one.

I've realized how the heart is so important in everything that we do. That's why we gotta protect it, for through it comes the issues of life.

I've realized how important it is to run STRAIGHT to God, when our weaknesses are revealed, when we know what we've done wrong and willingly accept His forgiveness. I've learned that though I'm still a sinful man, for I'm only human, it draws me closer to God because it showed me that I still need Him. There'll never come a point in life where I can ever make it on my own. Maybe for a short moment, but never forever. I've grown dependent on Jesus. Don't think I've made a decision that's any wiser....

I don't want to live my life on the sidelines of the battlefield. Neither do I ever want to stand and watch the battle being won. I want to be a part of that army, that'll take the nations by storm. I want to take the nations, my world, by storm. Wouldn't you want that too? Don't stay at the sidelines. If you've made your mistakes before, and you feel that you've backslidden, and you don't know if God'll ever receive you again, don't be fooled. He hasn't loved you any less. When you come back to Him, He'll love you just as much as before, He doesn't devalue you. There's still a chance. In the prodigal son, the father waited at the gate for his son's return. God's waiting for you to. Take that chance to move, and He'll move in and through you. He doesn't hate you, cause if you're willing, He'll still move through you. Won't you give your life back to God again and give Him the best years of your life?

God of My Forever

God of my youth, I remember,
Your call on my life, took me o'er,
Your love has seen me through all my days
Now I stand here by Your grace

On this altar, I've written my life,
Tells of the stories I have with You my God,
I want the world to know

God of my Forever
And forever I'm with You
My life is paid with a price
Your sacrifice
Redeemed my soul
God of my forever
and forever I will sing
My greatest honour will always be
To serve my Lord and King

God of my all I've surrender
My heart finds its rest in Your word
Praises will not be enough to show
How my love for You has grown

Nothing matters when You're here with me
In the end just to hear You say well done
I want the world to know

God of my forever,
And forever I'll be with You
My life is saved with a price
Your sacrifice, redeemed my soul,
God of my forever,
And forever I will sing
My greatest honour will always be
To serve my Lord and King

The best years of my life, is Yours
