But God

As I worked these days, things are getting heavier and more tired. In Luke 15, we read aobut the prodigal son who has lost his purpose in life that God has planned for him when he went away with half of his father inheritance and squandered them away.

Honestly, I dislike what I am doing at work now. I do not like audit work at all. I feel I am just like the younger son now, losing that vision of the God's plan for me, losing that purpose in my work...

Yet I do not want to show any bad attitude in my workplace. For we are called for a purpose in wherever we are and our destiny is to shine for God. Can I still shine for Him here? I am having that undesirable doubts now...but I don't want to give up...I really really want to shine for Jesus. Yet what is covering me from seeing that destiny in this work? Where am I heading to? God, I can't find your purpose here...pls show me the way...

Yesterday cell we talked about turning your negative thinking into positive thinking with just two important words -- BUT GOD.

In Acts 13:29-30,

"Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him,

they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

But God raised Him from the dead."

In Psalms 73:26,

"My flesh and my heart fail;

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

In Psalms 49:14-15,

"Like sheep they are laid in the grave;

Death shall feed on them;

The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;

And their beauty shall be consumed in the grave, far from their dwelling.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave,

For He shall receive me.

Selah"

In Isaiah 17:12-13,

"Woe to the multitude of many people

Who make a noise like the roar of the seas,

And to the rushing of nations

That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;

But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,

And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,

Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind."

In 2 Timothy 4:16-17,

"At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me.

May it not be charged against them.

The Lord Is Faithful

But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me,

so that the message might be preached fully through me,

and that all the Gentiles might hear.

Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion."

In 1 Corinthians 10:13,

"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man;

but God is faithful,

who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able,

but with the temptation will also make the way of escape,

that you may be able to bear it."

In Genesis 50:20,

"But as for you, you meant evil against me;

but God meant it for good,

in order to bring it about as it is this day,

to save many people alive."

God did not promise days without pain; laughter without sorrow; sun without rain -- But God did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

I am lost in my direction; but God will light up my path.
I am depressed with my work; but God will give me peace in my heart.
I cannot find my purpose in my workplace; but God whatever you want me to do I will follow and obey.

Taiwan Youth Camp 2008 Special!

Haha presenting to you here are the essence of the trip of what's happening behind the scene!

It is always great to remember the good times that have happened in your life so then you will learn to appreciate the things in our lives and treasure them... =)

This cool picture is taken by our photographer Kenneth! Nice view indeed... =))Psalm 95:1-7

"Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before him with thanksgiving

and extol him with music and song.

For the LORD is the great God,

the great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth,

and the mountain peaks belong to him.

The sea is his, for he made it,

and his hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us bow down in worship,

let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
for he is our God..."

Walking down the memory lane of Taiwan Youth Camp 2008... Do you see the new generation of Taiwanese rising up? =)

Campfire that warms up everyone's heart in this dark, cool night.Faith is to believe what you do not see;

Thanks to our usher leader, RJ (aka Roberts), for the smooth flow of human traffic for all the sessions in this camp!Lynn Choo: "Let me in! I wanna come in! Hehehe..."Lesson to learn here:

Always remember who's the key keeper...if not remember who is fit enough like Zhenyang to climb through the door window!God's joy is present with all of us always no matter how tired we can get...or cranky...

Funniest shot of DT you could possibly find...hahaha...lol

BS Jokes by Bro Gabriel

My bible study lecturer, Bro Gariel, is a man full of humour. He always tell us jokes and stories during his bible studies which are interesting, inspiring and enjoyable. I enjoy the lessons with him and I just look so forward to every Wednesday! =D I have memorised most of his jokes and stories that he has told us so far.

Here's a few for your entertainment...enjoy! =P

Fasting for Exam

A student, who is very spiritual, believes that through God everything is possible. So he makes a decision to himself that for his exam this time, he will fast everyday for 1 month before the exam date -- that is without relying and studying his notes at all during this 1 month of intense fasting.

So he prayed and fasted as planned. When the day for his exam finally comes, he went to the exam confidently and finished the paper.

Two weeks later, he got back his result slip. He looked at the result slip and just cannot believe his eyes. His results are just very 'spiritual' too -- all were 'fasting' with the big letter 'F'!

God Knows

A boy is trying to answer a difficult question during his test. He has no clue to the right answer at all. Yet he does not want to give up. So when the time is about to stop, he scribbles this on his paper:

"I don't know the answer. But God knows."

The boy, believing that his answers would impress his Christian teacher, hand in the paper happily.

The next day, the boy gets back his test paper. As he flipped through the paper, his eyes fall on the difficult question that he was trying very hard to answer during the test. Right there next to his answer is the marker's remark that says:

"Well you have failed this paper. But God passed."

Made to Love

When God created Eve, Adam looked at Eve and he asked God: "God, why did you make Eve so beautiful?"

God looked at Adam, smiled and said: "Adam, I made her so beautiful so you would love her!"

Adam looked at Eve again, his eyes examining her up and down this time. He noticed that Eve has an hourglass figure and is indeed very sexy. So he decided to ask God: "God, why do you make Eve's figure to be so perfect?"

God smiled and said: "Adam, I made her this way so you would love her!"

But Adam is not satisfied and he asked God: "God, then why do you make Eve so dumb?"

God, thought for a moment, and said: "Adam, I made Eve so dumb so that SHE would love you!"

Wedding Toast

There was a Chinese couple having their wedding banquet at a nice hotel ballroom. According to the customs, the newly weds are expected to go around all the tables and toast to their guests. So as they were toasting, they would shout "干杯!" (pronounce as gan bei) very loudly as their spirits are high.

Among the invited guests there was an Indian man sitting at one of the tables. He was a rich man and a close friend to the couple. After the couple have toasted to about 10 tables, they finally arrived at the table where the Indian man was seated. So likewise, they bring up their glasses, and was about to toast when the Indian man suddenly stopped them and said:

"It's okay if you can't pay (干杯 gan bei) for this dinner. I will pay for you!"
