A different Year

I have a testimonial here, I thank God for a wonderful birthday, when I thought it was going to be, yet another day in my life. won't go into detail here, what I really want to do is testify his goodness in my life and thank Him for all He has done =)

a moment i would like to share

once again.. if you believe in Jesus.. u know u are in for a good journey on this earth..

i've been working.. for the past 9 months.. and yes.. its been fun although the work may come so fast at times that i just scratch my head and think what should i do first..

but i've been unable to face my boss, my managers well.. i only ask questions from a few because i sometimes wanna avoid a scolding of my below par performance..

but yea.. I did what i could.. at work.. although sometimes i try to push harder.. or slack.. but i know i did what i can do.. as i was saying goodbye to the colleagues for the night.. i say good night to my boss and managers, to my surprised.. they are happy.. and they are asking when can i get friends who work like me..

really its weird la.. coz i dont work really hardcore like others.. and i slack alot.. and based on previous working experiences.. i'm always the least committed one.. i usually think that they have negative thoughts of me.. but not anymore..

but yea.. it finally prove me wrong that with Jesus, favor comes automatically.. not with my own efforts.. but by the Grace of our Father in Heaven.. wanna really thank God for that..

Another thing i wanna thank God for.. is my results came in.. and im really happy with it.. although i didnt get all As or Distinctions watsoever.. but i did farely well for my standard.. all again because not of my own effort in studying.. but by God's grace again for the wisdom and understanding of the subjects.. the exams.. the timing.. everything.. God is crucial for those things other than studying...

Lets wait for the next one.. can't wait for it to happen..

(Insert witty title here)- My laptop post

hey hey everyone!
wow, this place has been very quiet lately...

anyways, I have a testimony!! :)

I've been using my dad's laptop for photo editing, my coursework assignments, etc..
but a few weeks ago, my dad's laptop started acting weird. Don't really know how to explain the problem, but it was really irritating..
At first, I didn't pay too much attention to it, but it kept getting worse.
I told my dad about it, and he told me to back up all the important documents in case something happened. So that night i turned on the laptop with the intention of backing up all the data, but I fell asleep for about an hour (it was around 11pm...). When I woke up, the screen was all white, and I couldn't do anything to make it function properly. So I rebooted it, but it became worse- the screen wouldn't even turn on. So chamm... By that time it was already about 12 something (am), so I just prayed and went to sleep hoping that it would be ok the next day.

Next morning, I turned the laptop on, but there was again, no display on the screen.
You can imagine how worried I was. My dad just told me to back up everything, and when I was just about to, the laptop konked out! All the important data hadn't been backed up (including my photos!! and my dad's work!!!). At this point, what else could one do but to faster pray to God right?! Hahah... so I prayed and prayed and prayed. Switched the laptop on a couple more times hoping for a miracle, but nothing happened. Aiyoooh, God!!!
(I was dreading telling my dad when he came home from work)

But I told him anyway, and he said to take the laptop to the HP service center the next day.
(Btw, have any of you been there before? I must say, their after sales service is very good!)
On with the story... The girl at the service center said that it was probably only a problem with the motherboard (and not the hard disk) and it should be fixed by the next day. My dad and I were relieved and went out of the HP service center praising God.

BUT, this is not the end of the testimony, in case you are already clapping your hands and saying "Amen! Amen! PTL!" etc etc...

We were told to call the HP customer service center the next day to check if the laptop was ready to be picked up... So, I called. And the girl said that, nope, it wasn't ready, because the technician had ordered for a few things to be replaced. I asked what those things were anticipating the word "motherboard", but she listed a few things. Can't remember all of them, because all I heard was, "....., ......, hard disk, ....., ....., ......"
"Wait, hard disk, miss?!?!?!" I interrupted.
"Yes, hard disk"
"Errr... so that means... erhmm... my previous hard disk is spoilt???!!??"
"Yes"
"And all my data is gone??"
"Yes", she said so unfeelingly.
"Oh nooooooooooooooooooooo........"
(silence from the lady)
"Erm. well, miss _________. Thank you very much". I said while thinking "No thank you very much..." >.< style="font-weight: bold;">ALL the data from the old hard disk was saved!! Woot!!
All my pictures, my assignments, and ...
especially my dad's work (of which I would feel solely responsible for if it had been lost)!!!

After that my dad told my family that he wasn't anxious at all because he had prayed and God had given him peace. Can't say the same about myself, but I know that God also answered my prayer.

Truly, even when it seems like all hope is gone, all things are possible with God!
And I really thank God for covering my mistake of not backing up the data earlier. :)


There, I'm done!
Now you can all clap your hands and say "Amen, Amen...!!"

Haha :D

Written by the one covered with chilli sauce. Does anyone read this title anyway? Kudos if you did.

... and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8

From the way things are going on with some people I know, they tend to just focus on defending their faith, until they forget the message of grace and love, the heart of the gospel. We talk about it, we get excited about it, we pledge to do it. Do we really take a step out of our box to take this message to the people?

Oh yes, I understand how hard it can get. Especially to family members. Especially to those who love to equip themselves with Christian and Jewish war history, so to speak. Oh, and those who love to pinpoint the mistakes we commit.

Really, I think that most of us are rather afraid, afraid to damage our relationship with family and friends. Persecution, condemnation. blah. I am afraid of that too.

But look at it this way. Would you try your best and tell them of God's great love and grace, Jesus' work on the cross even though they reject it, or just keep quiet, hope for the best, never doing anything, and maintain a stable relationship with them.

Witnesses witness. They testify.
Are we not witnesses of the great things He has done?

Nobody said that it would be smooth flowing. Nobody said that to everyone you testify they would belive you.

...and you will be my witnesses..................... to the ends of the earth.

Challenges will come. There may be strong opposition. It may hurt. But it is worthwhile.

Last week's time with Ps. Paul Geerling has indeed spoken right into my heart. The very first phrase he said -the title of the sermon- "Now is the time". Brothers and sisters, there is no later date for salvation. There is no use in waiting until the prayers are enough. There is no use trying to wait for someone else to do it.

" Just do it". Ah, classic.

Do not be afraid, do not be ashamed. Because....

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

"God with us"
Yea man. : )

No matter what it takes, let us take the message of the gospel to our family, our friends, and to the ends of the earth.

God bless, and have a great week ahead!
