迷失了 !


我猜迷失了。
我自以为我走了很久,看了很多,我找到了。
我发现,迷失了。
我找不到我原来的起点。

我试图走着。
我走了很久很久,看了更多,我找到了?
我知道,我错了。
我哭因为我迷失又累了。

我又开始走了。
我走了更远更久,看了更多更多,我终于找到了?
我看到,我笑了。
我感觉到我又看不到了。

我又开始哭了。
我真的不想走了,看也不想看了,我真的累了。
我发现,我哭了。
我再一次又一次迷失了。

你让我看到你伸出的手。
你使我也伸出了我的手。
你让我发现我很久没为自己真的笑了。
你使我发自内心的笑了。
你的爱让我找到了我自己。

我不再迷失了。

Bring The Rain

In times when we are tired with life, I think it is good that we forget about all things and sink ourselves into the love of GOD. Raise our hand and praise our GOD with songs about the love of GOD for us. Many turned to the "worldly" song out there... I'm not condemning those songs. I love them and I hear and sing it too. But in times of troubles, I think it is wiser for us to go to GOD than to the world that gives you these troubles. It will only sadden us more and times to recover will takes longer.

As God has promise us, during the storm, keep our eyes on him and he will bring us through it... See the Lyric of this song (Bring The Rain)... It is so beautifully written. Just remember, no matter what happen and no matter what the world throw to us, keep the faith going and keep praising.

Our job is not to fight, for the battles belong to the Lord. And most importantly, He has already won to battles for us. We just have to acknowledge it and receive it.

Amen!

Bring The Rain

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that
I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to
praise You Jesus, bring the rain

I am yours regardless of the clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than
my pain you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
is the lord God almighty
is the lord God almighty
I'm forever singing

everybody singing
Holy holy holy
you are holy
you are holy






Desert Song

Got to know of another song from Hillsong's album "This Is Our God". I love the lyrics of this song is awesome. It gives me a reason to stay alive and be happy about. My Lord, my God, my provider, my victory !!! Praise The Lord, for he is good all the time. And all the time he is good.

Desert Song

This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

Chorus:
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

Bridge:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be empited again
The seed I've recieved I will sow



Wants to know more about the Story Behind Desert Song? Watch the Video by Jill McCloghry. Alright it touches me as I watch Jill shares on her experience. It was during a difficult moment of time when the song came to her... Keep singing Jill, God is good. Keep the faith going.

Watch the video


As We Gather / The Steadfast Love Of The Lord


My wife was singing this song since yesterday... Oh Lord, are you telling me something? Telling me your love will be with me always? Your mercies for me are new every morning?

Great is Thy faithfulness for me...

Thank You Jesus... and Thank You darling for reminding me about the Love of God.

Thank You.


----- oo0oo -----





As We Gather / The Steadfast Love Of The Lord

As we gather may Your Spirit work within us
As we gather may we glorify Your name
Knowing well that as our hearts begin to worship
We'll be blessed because we came
We'll be blessed because we came

Chorus:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end,
They are new every morning, new every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness (Oh Lord)
Great is Thy faithfulness

You have called us by Your Spirit into worship
In this temple You have set our hearts aflame
As we lay our hearts upon Your holy altar
We'll be blessed in Jesus' name

Let us cleanse our hearts as we begin to worship
Let us fill our hearts with love for You and sing
Open up our eyes so we may come to know You
And unto us the Spirit bring

Swimming

I don't remember when is the last time I swam. Maybe a few years back. Nevertheless, I swam again today.


I have always promise my wife to go swimming with her one of these days. Yesterday she managed to "persuade" me to buy a new swimming trunk. And the next best thing she does today early in the morning... she managed to drag me out from my cozy bed into the swimming pool.


Praise the Lord, I still remember how to swim. :-)


Alright, not surprise at all, my wife swam much longer distance than me. In fact she swam double the distance. Come on, all the while she likes swimming, while I enjoy jogging. So no doubt, she can swim better than me. Anyway, is a good workout for me. I can really feel the stretch of my whole body after the swim.


Thank you dear, for "dragging" me into the pool today. But seriously, I don't mind laying on bed sleeping too... ;-P

Forgetful

This is the second time within a week that I forgotten to take my phone out with me. The first time happen on last Wednesday during my in-camp training and on Monday, it is the second time.

Something I really question myself... Am I getting old? Is my age catching up with me? Many of my peers are already married with children. No longer are we still schooling or in the army. Am I really getting old that my memory is failing me?

On the other hand, am I too stress? I remember many a time, I cried out a rhetorical question, "I think I'm stress". A natural reaction from friend is that they tend to question me back, "You also will get stress meh? You always so "smiling" face, stress still can talk so much rubbish?" (come on, i don expect you to answer me back anyway)

So am I really so stress-free?

Btw who said stress must react and look like stress? Anyway what is the correct "face looks" to look stress?

I question myself again...

Last week in camp training... Train only 2 times and I go for my IPPT... (worry ok!) Peers are going MR (MINDEF Reserved) and I'm still needed to serve another 1 high and 2 low key with a new unit. (Low morale rite?)

After 1 long week in camp and now going back office, stack of works waiting for me, ahah!

Then there are those "demand" and decision to be make in... Those desire of... Problems that... The coming issues that I will be facing... (Okay, all the above are private and confidential.)

Think about it again, am I really that worries free?

Someone did mention to me that it is the habitual ways for an IT guy. He only react and fire fight when things happen. My wife too commented on me that I love to sweep problems (issues that I hate to face) under the carpet and only settle it when the problems surface.

Well, I don't deny it. Maybe that the reason why me and my wife are married to each other. She's systematic and I'm not. That's how we complement each other. ;-p

Recently, I think my mind is always so busy. I realize that there are many times during bath, I think I've fill myself with the shower foam twice. Reason is that half way thru the bath, I even forgot whether I have used the shower foam. My mind is far away thinking of other things. I just don understand too, what am I thinking during my bath. Problems again?

Am I having too much things to settle? Have I reach my limit? Or am I too tired? Maybe I just need a break. Really a break from ALL.

And ALL = Work, Life and Friends !

I heard this many times, that everyone has their own problems in life. Is just a matter whether it is big or small. I don really agree. Is true that everyone got their own problems. However there's isn't a different between big or small. It just how a person able to contain the problem.

You might be having a BIG problem that you owe the bank a hundred thousand $. However to a billionaire, it is such a small amount. It immediately becomes a SMALL problem. In fact it might not even be a problem to him.

Ah... What am I talking about now? Aren't I on the topic of FORGETFUL? But now I'm talking about PROBLEM. I think I really mixed up now. I cannot think anymore... Ahahah... Am I in the mid-life cruise instead?

Is Forget = Sickness ???




----- oo000oo -----






Ps: I'm sorry that you have to listen to me telling a lot of crap today. Everythings written might not even be in-syn with each other. Sigh... Think I'm really tired.

Accident do Happen !!!

Alright, I actually accidently deleted away 1 of my post in October 2008.

Cannot make it... Sob* Sob*
:-(

2x Running B4 IPPT

Yes, I tried to make an effort to wake up earlier today to go jogging...

I'm on my feet again... ok lor... my legs still ache over the last run. What to do? 2nd trainning before my IPPT... left only 2 more days....

Wow... 1+1=2, 1x2=2, 2/1=2... no matter how I calculate, I still get 2. Tomorrow onwards I will not have any time to train... so that will means... great, today is my last trainning for the IPPT... Ahahah... the more I think of it, the scarier it becomes...

"shalom shalom... May the peace and strength of the Lord be with me."

okay, so how long and how fast I jog today :

Distance = 3.13Km
(hey, don laugh, at least better than last run lor, IPPT oni need 2.4Km)
Duration = 18 min
(Err... 2.4km needs at least 12:20 min to pass) ...

okay okay, I admit, by the time I reach 13 min, I think I only run till 1.9 km. :-P Veri slow, rite? sometime I also cannot tahan myself... How did I make it for the past IPPT... Grace grace, Glory be onto GOD !!!

Anyway when I finally reach the end of my run, was about to turn back, I saw my Brother-In-Grace. He was jogging with a group of his friends, trainning for his upcoming biathlon... Ahahah, he's trainning for his biathlon and here I am, still struggling for IPPT... Ahahahah...

okay, this is going to be the last time... (Think this is what I told myself every year ;-P)

Anyhow, I will go sign up for the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (42Km) at the end of the year. I will make full use of this whole year for a good work out.

As my OC ever mention before during my army days... Man can lost to man, but don't ever lost his face (输人不输脸)...

So Brother-In-Grace, wait for me. I'll will chase up with you.
Cheers :-P

I'm Running Again !!!

Finally today I'm running again...

Not that I don't like to run, in fact jogging has always been one of my favourite exercise. Just that it has been rather busy for the past 2 months. (okay, I'm giving myself excuses again... I admit... Lazy is the word to use... :-D !!!) Nevertheless, the last run was more than 2 months ago. and TODAY... I just went for a run again around my house...

Wanted to run much longer, however it seem like my flu and cough has not fully recover. After running for about 2.13km (I calculated it from http://www.mapmyrun.com/), I can feel that one of my nostrils got stuck again and I almost wanted to vomit out.

Cannot make it right? For the past few days, been quite a busy and tiring days for me. However I do felt much better after the run. Exercise do helps. :-)

Okay, so why the sudden run? okay, the main reason is, I'm going for my reservist next week and I will need to go for my yearly IPPT again... :-D Let's me see... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6... oh no I'm left with 6 days to train for it.

Grace grace lar... I'm sure I can make it... coz I'm FIT !!!

GOD Bless ME !!! :-)
