Waiting & waiting…is tiring…

It seems that all our life,we are in the waiting ministry..We wait for the bus,train,time,friends,family mbrs,cgls,cg mbrs,meeting to start,meeting to end…the list can go on & on…

Waiting is sometimes used to train & mould our character..It teaches us patience..But..Waiting is tiring…

And I’m tired of waiting…

The feeling of always having to wait for someone is awful,tiring,unproductive…You are worried that if u dont wait,the person will suddenly called you but u have made alternative plans..But if you wait,u end up being frustrated & angry as the waiting time is simply too long…Have I been too passive & always waiting,expecting that the person will call me? Or shld I be more proactive & do the calling instead of waiting & hoping that the person will do so?

I don’t know but I sure know that I’m tired of waiting..

Thoughts…

Attention once given but now is blown away in the air

Effort used to be made but now you don’t see much

Once so cherished but now so neglected

Once you were the star but now you have dimmed

Once so full of hope & joy but now doubts & fear sets in

Once so hot but now so cold

What has gone wrong?

Withdrawl is the symptom of protecting oneself from getting hurt & upset..

Found these

Was packing some stuff when I came across my little pinkish princess notebook where I wrote these to God..

From the day I took a step

From the day my heart was touched

I know is going to change

It’s a miracle, O Lord

A brand new heart I have

A lease of new life

It’s all because of You

You gave me all these

So I live for You

Next one..

This is Your dwelling place

A place where love is found

A place where faith is renewed

This is Your dwelling place

A place where hurts are healed

A place where hearts are mended

My heart grows with worship

When I come near You

My dreams & desires are placed in Your hands

Another One…

In Your presence

Where faith’s strengthened

In Your presence

Where love is found

In Your presence

Where hope is renewed

In Your presence

Where I long to be

Didn’t know that?

Didn’t know that people wld ever think that I’m naggy..Do u think I enjoy being naggy? I’m not that old yet..Why do I have to repeat things again & again? Do u think I enjoy doing it? If I can & have a choice, I rather not do it..The comment abt me being naggy has never really crossed my mind..Should i be happy or sad over it? Guess it depends on the source it came from..

I like to do self evaluation of my life,especially when things are down & not happening the way I hope they will or when comments are made or when I’m inspired by His words or when events happen,etc,etc…Knowing to evaluate ourself is a good channel for us to think thru’ our life,personality,deeds,actions,speech,etc,etc..

Last week was a super lousy & bad week for me..The things that I planned for didnt happen..& worst, people were not excited at all..Seems like I’m the only crazy & childish person that went “ga ga” over it..What a joke it was..

When bad things come,they will all come at one shot..It seems that you cant handle it & wants to give up alrdy..But I gota still tell myself that God will never give me smthing or let me go thru smthg that I cant handle cos’ He will give me His strength & His grace is sufficient..Was it easy? Of course, NOT…I feel like crying big buckets..But what can I do even if my tears fill the ocean?

I hve been asking myself these questions:

“Have I done enough?”

“What have I not done?”

“I’m telling the truth & the truth hurts,but why was the response in such a manner?”

“Are ur very scared of me?”

“Have your come to a place of also knowing me as an individual?”

“What do I need to do to inspire,challenge,motivate?”

“What can I do to see revivial?”

I need that still small voice & was reminded of this song ..

“When the oceans rise & thunders roar

I will soar with You above the storm

Father,You are King over the flood

I will be still & know You’re God”

God,what can I do?

Pimples - My enemy

If I got to make an enemy (besides the stupid devil),it got to be PIMPLES…Argh…I hate breakouts,pimples,open pores on my face…To begin with,I do not have great skin (how i envy pple who have fair,good & clear complexion)..

I get breakouts easily on my oily skin type face when I’m stressed.insufficient sleep or hormonal changes..How I hate these little dots on my face..How I wish that someone can create smthg to get rid of them & give my clear,smooth complexion at a cost that’s affordable..Worse,thr be those marks left by the dried up pimples..Argh!!! Good thing,I’m tanned..so they are not easily seen..

Now,i got 1 stupid pimple just abv my lips…and is so painful..I got to resist the temptation to squeeze it & got to think of ways to conceal it tmr…

I hate it…Is so obvious & ugly.. :

The end of myself

When i come to the end of myself,the only way i can do is to look up & shout God,help me…

Many a times,we can do things out of our gifts,talents & abilities but without the anointing & direction by the Holy Spirit,it is not going to be fruitful..We can do alot of things but see no results at the end of the day..

When i come to the end of myself,i can only look to Jesus - the author & finisher of my faith..I can only tapped on God’s creativity,ideas,wisdom & revelation..Only when the rhema word is spoken,then things became to change & become effective..

Leading a CG is not easy..We need to have a shepherd’s heart,care,pastor & shepherd,guide,encourage,build,etc…but we also need to train,disciple,discipline,rebuke,correct at times..On top of listening & trying to solve member’s problems,u still must grow the CG to see more souls added into the kingdom..

God,what can i do for the CG? Give me ideas,revelation,creativity,anointing,wisdom to share with the mbrs & also to grow this CG..I’m not happy & i don’t like stagnancy..I want revival & growth in quality & quantity..How can I motivate,challenge my pple to lead a lifestyle of evangelism & grow this CG with me??

God,help me..I have come to the end of myself & I do not know what else shld i do..

Why do you want to incur my wrath?

I really do not understand why some pple has no respect for other peoples’ time..Todae is the 3rd time I got to address the issue of being punctual for Cg & Svc to my sheeps..I had such a hard time,holding seats on sun svc last wk for sm of my mbrs & they can still happily walked in at 10.15am..Some faithful members make an effort to come earlier to get seats for the rest but there are always that 2 or 3 that will only reach during praise or worse, during worship..

Where is the basic respect of honoring & respecting one another’s time?Your time is precious,but so is mine & other peoples’..

If u can be on time for work,why can’t u be on time when u are coming to meet God??Wat kind of honor are u giving Him??To think that He is your Father…

My tolerance level is up to the max & I really give it to them..I may sound fierce & harsh..But I need to address this issue & I do not want them to always assume that pple will always book seats for them..

Why must I be so naggy & addressing such issues again & again?It speaks to me of a character flaw & no teachability..All my sheeps are adults & I treat them as adults..But if u want to beahve like a youth,then,sorry,i will treat u like a youth..Why do u want to incur my wrath & anger over such matters?? I really dun understand…I was once also a sheep before i became a shepherd..But i dun remember my cgl repeatedly scolding us over such things..We get it at the 1st time..I’m puzzled..

Brainy??

remembered since my days of writing composition & essays in seconday/JC, we have been taught always to ask the “4Ws & 1H”..(What,Where,When,Why,How)

God gives us a brain not to leave it at home when we go out of the hse…When was the last time we stop & ask ourselves the 4Ws & 1H? Have we let the business of life hit us & live our life just as it is or how circumstances lead us?When was the last time we evaluated ourself,our behaviour,our deeds & words at home or work or our relationship with others?

Many a times we want breakthru in our life but yet, we keep doing the same thing again & again,even when it does not seem to bring forth any results or effectiveness..Then,we can still grumble & say “I hv done so much but I’m not achieving any results”…Maybe is time to evaluate ourself,seriously sit down & ask ourself the 4Ws & 1H..

What is your strength & weakness?What do you want to see yourself achieving?How are u going to measure your success?What kind of image do you want to portray? When u hear the word of God,how are u going to apply it?

My ZS shared with us fm James1:25 - “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it,and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,this one will be blessed in what he does.” In layman terms,you will be liberated everytime u hear,look into His word & apply the word of God,u will be blessed..

Is time for me to start asking questions,ponder,put on my thinking cap & search for the answers that I’m looking for in the areas that I need & want a breakthru’..

Little Imp

Saw my little imp todae..She looks so adorable & pretty..I noticed Daddy Matt & Mummy Rac likes to dress her in pink..This is the dun noe how many times i see “Thea Thea” in pink..Hahaha..Sweet BB,rite??

I can see that Daddy & Mummy are so proud of her:the sparkle in their eyes,the gleam on their faces,the joy that they have when they speak abt her..

She’s so curious about lights & when she gets really excited,her hands & legs will both start to fidget and kicked..The best part is she will scream…Can u imagine when Daddy & Mummy are not around?? Everyone was looking at me when she screamed..(i think she can be recruited to choir when she grows up,just like mummy & god mummy..)

The smile on her impish face,the falling of her heads into your bosom brings forth comfort,joy & peace,esp when u are down..That’s what babies can bring…Amazing… No wonder Jesus adore the little ones…

I used to think that giving birth is such a painful & stressful ordeal & I can never imagine how I can ever go thru’ it..But looking at “Thea Thea”, it gives me another perspective & thoughts…
