new year resolutions

winter break... nope, no snow yet... wont snow till at least february lah... but it's pretty cold right now... 7degrees daytime, 0-2degrees at night! thank god for heaters... ya mom, gonna keep myself warm, bundle up before going to bed... bought extra sweaters, gloves and mufflers... no worries...

last sunday, we had this pre-christmas party in church... that sunday, we sang christmas carols eh... arghh... that made me even more homesick eh! i miss going carolling! remember last year, TBC went carolling, ps kim's house, hooi fang's house... then, the jubilee old folks home... i heard the combined christmas in usm was supercalifragalisticexpialidotious... all glory be to god! kinda regretted my 2years in usm... spent just like that... could have done more! no point dwelling in the past! i pray that with the remaining 1 year that i have in usm, penang, god will stretch me... i pray that i will have the strength to go the extra mile, for jesus! the orang asli ministry in hulu perak... the "kids possible" ministry in TBC... the campus ministry in usm... realised that it is not just bout studies and studies alone... there are so much more to life in campus... not gettin any younger, am i? ahahahah! new year resolutions... pray with me ya!

speakin of new year resolution... used to write those stuff down... put it into an envelope and seal it... then at the end of the year, you'll open the sealed envelope and see what have you achieved... i remember mine very well... indeed god has been good to me, in fact, way to good... grace, and love, undeserved... all i can do is to come before him, in humility, and say "thank you" lord jesus! by the grace of god, i am who i am today! to say thank you lord, i know that i am saved and sanctified is in the sight of god the acme of humility, meaning that you have completely abandoned yourself to god that you know he is true.

this dawned upon me... the promises of god are of no value to us until by OBEDIENCE we understand the nature of god... "all the promises of god are yea, and in him amen". read this while doin quiet time, the "yea" must be born of obedience, and when by the obedience of our lives we say "amen" to a promise, then that promise is ours... it is one thing to go through crisis grandly, but another thing to go through everyday life glorifying god, even in the so called shallow aspects of life... "whatever therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God"... our safeguard is in the shallow things... to some people, we are the only gospel that they know... our circle of influence, friends, dorm mates...
