I wanna be like you

When people say these words to me, of course I would be flattered.. but I will be a bit frightened as well. Many questions I would ask:

Am I good enough?

Why?

What did I do/say?

What if this is not the real me? *gasps*

People do observe other people and choose to model after those they look up to. Those they respect and are inspired by their lives.

I told Jesus, "I wanna be like You."

When I can be like Jesus, I can inspire others to not be like me, but be like Jesus.

Go around, inspire others.. make disciples.

Keep a quiet heart

Been reading this book during office hours (yes, I'm quite free during working hours heheh). It's compilation of Elisabeth Elliot's newsletters.

I'm very inspired by what she wrote. I pray that I'd have the ability to withstand all kinds of problems and still give thanks to God.

I wish I can share with you so many articles from this book, but I rather you read it :)

"Father, let our faithful mind
Rest, on Thee alone inclined;
Every anxious thought repress,
Keep our souls in perfect peace."-Charles Wesley

Deepavali 2

Just need to record this. You know the rice deco thingy during Deepavali, they draw some flowers and put colourful rice on the floor? Haha. I helped to dye the rice today at work. So colourful and pretty numi and blene would love to take pic of em.

Fun stuff. I got my hands coloured.

This is the end product =D Satisfied! We sort of rushed to finish this so can go home early... kekeke

Happy holiday everyone who will be having holiday tomorrow... ..

Retreat

During Deepavali break I joined the West Zone Leaders for the West Zone Leaders Retreat. Being part of the committee for my first retreat was quite fun. I got to know more leaders, really had a great rest and peace at Sanctuary Resort, Cherating.

Love beach, the sound of the wave, the breeze. Unfortunately I couldn't spend much time alone at the beach.

I didn't even know the picture above was taken until the photographer sent it to me on fb. I went to the beach first thing in the morning (after breakfast) but later on had to rush to first session. But it's alright =)

Looking forward to the next retreat!

Eucharisto Night

Eucharisto means "thank you". It's a night where we appreciate the guys. They have been the one who without asking, carry the girls' bags, books, make sure we walk in front, make sure we are safe, etc. W23 guys are really gentlemen. And so we, girls, prepare a night just for them, and also we invite other guy friends to join us! This is one of LoveAlert's big project for this month =)

These are the girls who worked so hard to make the night memorable and successful. They cooked 4 pots of noodles, bread butter puddings to feed 15 hungry boys (after the noodles they begged us to not feed them already haha), pizza, skewed meat with special sauce >.<, muffins and cream puffs! The girls have been cooking since 12pm. *applause*

We had dinner, ice-breakers, performances, best dressed guys to catwalk and prize giving, and ending song. =)

So these are the guys who were present. I hope they all had a memorable and great night.

Well, after the night W23 guys immediately helped clean up the hall and kitchen. I think it's in them already. Can't have them rest just for one night.

Thanks everyone..

Love Alert

This project was something that I have asked my CG members to participate in. I believe if we continually practice loving people, it becomes part of our nature. So, we started it on Nov 1st.

I'm not saying that we were not loving people before we did this and purposely do good to others just for this LoveAlert. Whenever any of the members did something good- fetched their friends, say "thank you" to the guards, stayed back at uni to help lecturer clean whiteboard, pay for the next car's toll, etc etc.. they would tweet @LoveAL3RT/facebook on LoveAlert about it (not to boast) but to encourage others to do the same.

I believe that the small act of love we give can make little changes. I don't mind little changes =)

You can play your part, not necessarily by joining LoveAlert. Just love.

run?

When you are facing problems where do you run to? Away from the problems? Blame others and not yourself and then blog a prayer to God asking for help?

We like giving excuses whenever things go wrong to justify ourselves.

When you are facing problems, you face them. Not turn your back on them. That makes you a quitter; that makes your problems bigger than God.

And sometimes, blogging about your problems will not solve anything unless you do something after publishing your blog post =)

Don't blame your church/leaders if anything goes wrong

And then run to another church

If you don't fix you

Then you'll carry those problems into another church

Thinking of only benefiting yourself

*I was reading blog posts and status updates.. realized a lot of easily emo-ed young teens. Just thought I should share something and hope people get this. Also, I kept reading people posting their problems, but no solution or what happened after that. Don't be a complainer.

Cheers
