YEAH, sure I'm a jerk, BUT, the GREAT thing is God's completely different from me.
Ok, so I've not been updating regularly,SUE me then.
Been really busy with studies,not to mention that my mid-year exam is coming up. Another thing is I've just recently pass my driving test,which means I'm legally allowed to drive(just waiting for my license to be done)unlike some of my peers...heheh...
Getting a little heavy for the lack of exercise(I so need discipline),don't really mind as I know I'll get into better shape later. Hey,I could always blame my genes...
Ok,so this is a really short post,better than nothing eh?
*Currently tuned into the likes of John Legend's 'Save Room' and other soul songs.

More to life.
Missionaries are not extraordinary people but yet THEY are,contradiction eh? They are just a bunch of rare,selfless,Christ-centered and driven people who dedicate their life to doing God's will of spreading the Gospel,in this case to places such as Cambodia,Indonesia and so on.
Partners in the Harvest 2009 (PITH 09') is an international missions conference for Brethren assemblies in Asia-Oceania. For more details or info,go H.E.R.E.

I'm touched...
The song that Aaron proposed.
Listen To Our Hearts (Feat. Geoff Moore) Lyrics
Artist(Band):Steven Curtis ChapmanVerse 1:
How do you explain,
How do you describe,
A love that goes from east to west,
And runs and deep as it is wide?
You know all our hopes
Lord, you know all our fears
And words cannot express the love we feel
But we long for You to hear
Chorus:
So listen to our hearts (oh, Lord, please listen)
Hear our spirits sing (and hear us sing)
A song of praise that flows (a simple song of praise)
From those You have redeemed (from those You have redeemed)
We will use the words we know
To tell You what an awesome God You are
But words are not enough
To tell You of our love
So listen to our hearts
Verse 2:
If words could fall like rain
From these lips of mine
And if I had a thousand years
I would still run out of time
So if You listen to my heart
Every beat would say,
“Thank You for the Life, thank You for the Truth, thank You for the Way.”
[Chorus]

. Transparency . Consistency . Revelancy .
The above three things is what I need most in my life right now and am finding hard to comply with.
T.R.A.NS.P.A.R.E.N.C.Y
-Simply to not be a fake and not lie about your own identity(whether to pride so that you be more popular)and be transparent so as to remain your true self at all times.
C.O.N.S.I.S.T.E.N.C.Y
-To be more consistent in my efforts in whatever I do. (e.g : schoolwork,church,quiet time,relationship with God)
R.E.V.E.L.E.N.C.Y
-To find God's purpose and will relevant in whatever I do.(so as to be more fervent and encouraged of Him)

It's a Sunday. Praise God !
Hey,so woke up around 8.30 to prepare myself for church. Took a bath and then reheated a pizza my sis bought back from italiannese. Then,watched a cartoon on cartoon network which is 'Legion of super heroes.(yeah,i still watch cartoons,so what?)
Went to church and I must say I was very touched today and at the same time excited as NTM(New Tribe's Mission) came to inform us of their coming activities.(by Bro.Calvin Tan)
I'm really hoping to get a chance to be a missionary.
First of all,there was the usual BOB(breaking of bread) service,which has a song session. I must confess that today Aaron proposed a song that truly touched me.(next post)
Then there was the message by Bro.Calvin Tan on Life's lesson From the Life-Giver ; laying up Treasures in Heaven . Although this is a topic I am quite familiar with,i was still touched/reminded/convicted of how true and urgent this topic is to us.
Here's a breakdown :
-WE must sacrifice ALL we have for the hidden treasure = H.E.A.V.E.N
-ALL that this world has to offer PALES in comparison to what God has in store for us in H.E.A.V.E.N
-This is not our true home(earth),we are merely passer-by's. H.E.A.V.E.N is our one true home.
-Christ is the ultimate financial planner. He has already given us the ultimate insider marketing tip. and that is to exchange all our earthly treasure for heavenly one's. Don't get it?,it's simple really...
Imagine yourself living at the time when the civil war was almost over,now the civil war was between the confederate's and US. (In the end,US won.) Now,imagine you knew that US were gonna win the war but you live in confederate territory and you've got a huge stockpile of confederate currency.Wont you immediately exchange that pile of confederate currency (that will be of no longer use when US win the war) with US currency (that will be of value once US wins the war) while keeping a enough confederate currency that will last for a short-period of time till the war is over?
Now,substitute this story with God's term...,Get it? (Christians believe in Christ's second coming whereupon everything will be judged and this world will merely pass away.)
-This above action is describe as not only a smart move but a logical one.

WE humans are so flawed,so why do we continue to live?
God said that he made us in His own image,i think He must be really disappointed to see us now. But yet He never forsakes and He always loves,as it is written
-Deuteronomy 31:6 ="Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
-John 3:16 ="For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
How 'bout L.I.F.E ?
L.I.F.E is so uncertain,always changing,always disappoints and the occasional joys it brings is rarely worth it...so...why?
This is what I keep dear to my H.E.A.R.T whenever the issue of life is concerned...
-Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
What cha think ' bout that?
