we are all stuck where we are due to the uniqueness of our individual circumstances
for me it's army.. i feel like i'm not progressing anywhere at the moment.. i just wanna wait until my army is over before i do anything. But this is not right i realised as i hear the song below. We are all challenged to do something just by being where we are.. The word DARE YOU TO MOVE echoes deeply within me to move me from my stagnant position to one that is positioned to do something. To do what i not sure, but all i know is I NEED TO MOVE!!

Hosea
I was reading Hosea, 6:6
".. since what I want is love, not sacrifice; knowledge of God, not holocausts."
In the Good News Bible, it is written like this:
"What I want from you is plain and clear: I want constant love from you, not sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings."
I often complain to God how I am sick and tired of the ups and downs of my love life with God. How my faith dips and ebbs from time to time and how I desire for once to experience what it feels like to have a consistency in my relationship with God.
God is a mighty and fearsome God. The way to seek and maintain a consistent relationship with Him is to constantly love him. It is God's way of knocking my head because my faith is merely at the tip of the iceberg and God is far more and has far more concealed just like the tip of the iceberg that I see floating above the sea.
I am most awestruck by His words highlighted in bold and underlined. As much as I desire to have a consistent relationship with God, He desires for my constant love and most importantly he desires that I come to know him intimately. What is mortal sacrifices and offerings in His eyes? Doesn't everything that mortal man offers to God comes from God anyway?
All these while I have been desiring for God's love and attention. But I never really gave much thought about God's desires for me. His words have humbled me.
Praise the Lord!

Hope
1 Corinthians 13:13
In short, there are three things that last: faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love.
I am humbled by my companions who have journeyed with me thus far in my life and faith. Their reminders that I am here doing God's work. That I am but a poor instrument, a weak instrument but nevertheless an instrument made to do God's work and to give glory to God. Through their reminders I remember that there is still hope. There is still hope for the youths of our church; there is still hope for that passion to be reignited in the hearts of many in our church. We started out with much hope and enthusiasm but perhaps through the ups and downs of life and all the distractions of life, I have lost hope along the way and despaired. Shaun Koh and John Tan's reminders has humbled me. I thank God for these 2 close brothers of mine.
That I realised that I must never be so proud as say that I can do without God in my life.
To keep praying with a humble heart. A short sentence of 7 sentences but how difficult it is to achieve it!

May the Real Servant Please Stand Up
YAY~!!!!!!!!!! 2009
How long How long must we sing the song of Disappointment and Pain?
The Situation May be Disturbing and uncomfortable...But can We ourselves run away from God and his people? Jesus was sent to be rejected, The Apostles were meant to be Ridiculed at. We of Little Faith Do not Throw Our Fist in the Air and Scream like little children we are but instead, look for the one that calms the storm.
I feel so much Hate and Distaste for the Ministry in OLPS now for the exception of YAM... but can these feelings change the situation or will the situation change you to become more like them? Obedience and Acceptance of the situation is crucial then i must say for when the time comes when we will rise again to put God's enemies right where they belong.
I sincerely Pray for things to get better and I know There will be a better time for it to come. Shaun said THE PRESENT is more IMPORTANT than anything else....I agree however i still feel Skeptical about it... I am Human and know exactly how everyone abandoned feels cuz i myself have been exiled for reasons not relevant to a crime nor a rebellion. I will try my best to pray for the youth of OLPS but I know it will extremely hard so please God Give me the strength to rise like an eagle...
well a Secret Society has been created to take a hold of the situation now....for more information on how to be a gang member please msg/call shaun koh or john tan...once recruited in cannot get out i heard...SCARY man~!!!!!!!!!!!
LET THERE BE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ( says OASIS)
Heaven Here - Dashboard Confessional
We are the only ones who feel it
Tonight we drink
Tonight we dance
We are the last ones who can hear it
We’re calling in whispers
We’re tired of waiting
We’ll take what we want and we’ll
Leave what we know behind
We are still dreamers
In our dead sleep
Naked and tangled
Twisted in love and Tonight
We are the only ones who feel it
So let it last all night
So let it last all night
Let the fire surround us
Let it all cave in
Let it all burn wild
We are leaving it all behind
We are leaving it all behind
Heaven is here (x3)
We are tangled and brave
We are naked and saved
Heaven’s not waiting
It’s spilling its secrets
It's right here between us
And we’ve no other choice but belief
We’ve no other choice but Belief
We’ve no other choice but Belief
So let it last all night (x3)
Oh let it last all night
Naked and tangled
And twisted in love
And tonight
We are the only ones who
Feel it
Heaven is here (x2)
And tonight
We are the only ones who feel it
