Band of Brothers 2007!

What an honor it was to be given an opportunity to chair last night's Band of Brothers meeting. I didn't really feel very comfortable with the sore throat I was having. By the end of the night, with all the shouting to encourage the guys in being more expressive in their Praise towards God; I totally lost my voice.

Last night was such a symbolic night. Our pastor got us to write all our sins, failures, struggles and fears and then nail the piece of paper on the wooden cross. I really felt that though it might just seem like a symbolic act of surrending everything to God, I believe that a spiritual transaction happended between God and us. We gave God our shortcomings, and He gave us His empowerment to overcome the sins and struggles of this world.

Now we can truely enjoy the freedom in serving God without having any sense of guilt! We have been redeemed to live a life free from sin. God is Great!

Thank God for Ps Mike!

Thanx Chris for posting your entry on Ps Mike Guglielmucci. After I read it on monday morning, I was thinking and questioning about why and how come God allows such a thing to happen to His people, His people who have been working so hard for Him, people who gave their all in serving Him.

But today, I realised that no matter how much I try to question God and sometimes even doubt the way He does things. But today I know for such that God knows fully what and why He is doing the things He has been doing! God is always so faithful!

God just reminded me that He uses the lives of people to teach us something. In the case of Ps Mike, it could be the lesson of perserverence through hardship and difficulty. It could also be the lesson of having a contenting heart with all that God has blessed us with; good health. I think personally, I got the heart of a warrior of GOD for Ps Mike. A heart that refuses to be defeated by the circumstances around him; like Rocky in all his movies. Being badly beaten, but he still masters enough strength to get up and keep fighting.

I want to live my life like that! I reckon I am still in the warrior training phase. But I can say I am a trainee eagerly waiting to go into battle. I pray that God will continue to burn His fire of passion within me, that this eagerness will not fade away with the pressures of this world.

Praise God for Ps Mike! May God bless him and be his 'Healer' just like the song he wrote!

Little Sophie!

The past few days not updating my blog was busy entertaining my little niece; Sophie.
She is the cutest! So pretty and charming! And her character is just so happy, it's so easy to make her laugh and giggle. And me being the cheeky uncle, I am trying to teach her to crawl, at least I'll be involved in one stage of her growth :)

Its really exciting now that it is only 8 days away. Unsecured by my genetic forgetfulness, I keep feeling like I haven't done something. And Yen would usually remind me that I really did forget something. But as of now, things are more or less settled and ready to go.

Really thankful that God is so faithful in every area of my life. He will never let me go no matter what I do not never do.
