in every man, there’ll always be a boy
I look left
Right and I see
Walls closing in around me
I look up
And the ceiling comes down
I run
Searching for refuge
I found none
Searching for comfort
I found some
But none compared
To the sight of You
I lift my eyes
And see a light
Through a crevice
You glory shines
I lift my hands
In surrender
Suddenly
I am delivered
A sunrise dawns
And I feel a warmth
Your hand closes around me
I am embraced.
A lot of people asked me,”How was Easter?”
I said,”It was okay.”
Then I think to myself. Is Easter Sunday supposed to be any different from the last Sunday … or the following Sunday, or any other day of the week for that matter?
Having served God for a good .. WHOA .. 10 years (!), since I was in Form 3 slinging a bass guitar over my skinny little clavicle, I wonder how people become tired of serving God. And I wonder about how I’ve been going on for 10 years .. without realizing it.
I sometimes remember topics I’ve written on before, and I am always pleasantly surprised every single time I look back into my archives.
Searched for responsibility, and I found a few entries on them, but more importantly today, those involving finances. Here are the 2-part entries I wrote on being financially responsible.
As most of you faithful followers would know, a RM1400 bill landed on me last week when I had my car repaired. Yesterday, a RM325 bill came to me for the repair of the fridge. It was slightly unexpected, but after the cash departed .. and as I updated my accounts on Microsoft Money .. I looked at this months expenses report and my heart sank. I’m less than halfway through March, and I’ve already expended a 33.33% more than the amount I usually spend in a whole month.
And on top of that .. I’ve gotta work on the pledges I commited for the missions fund and building fund for the year.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m mad.
It’s extremely dangerous to go through life without hearing His voice. In John 10:27 it says,”My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” The anti-thesis of it sounds like this : If His sheep doesn’t listen to His voice, He doesn’t know them, and they do not follow me.
There’s a sermon on http://www.gtyac.com/ that is so good, I never get tired from listening to it over and over again.
So many of us have lost our light source. So many. I pray that we all have the correct light source, and that it will lead us home.

I was just chatting away on MSN, and while we talked .. a question popped up, and it went like this:
“What makes a great guy? What’s the definition of a great guy?”
And .. I babbled about the specifics of a certain guy .. but she told me later that she was expecting a more general answer after I said this:
“I think what makes a great guy, is him knowing his identity in Christ.”
Why?

I know. It’s kinda weird.
But think.
Who ordained all the days of our lives? And written on who’s book? His book. Psalms 139.
And we keep a weB LOG of our lives, a journal, diary about what we go through in our lives almost everyday writing the day that was ordained by God.
Hmm … food for thought.
Affirmation has never been something natural to me. Maybe it’s because of my upbringing but the other day over dinner, Liz pointed out to me that I’ve been more caring and sensitive towards her. It was really affirming, to hear it from her.
Then I began to realize that I have been spending more time with her, often affirming her with gestures and physical actions. I guess it’s also in her nature that she loves being held and hugged.
God’s changing me, not only my love towards her but also towards others. I suppose .. apart from moving on with ministries and life, I guess my mannerisms, perceptions and mindsets are also moving on. I’m beginning to see needs of those who are around me, and somehow there’s a desire to help them fulfill those needs, or lead them to God who is the ultimate source of hope and living water. Somehow, I feel like I’m almost automatically relating to their current situation and then feel compelled to reach out to them.
I pray that God’ll continue to do His work in my life, that I may not only be that light to the world, but also that source of comfort and counsel flowing from the Holy Spirit.
Ah, it’s been 7 days since I’ve moved into the apartment .. and it’s been great. I’ve had better sleep (maybe it’s thanks to the goose feather pillow I got from Liz), but I guess it’s a result of moving in and moving on in life.
Right up till now, I haven’t been able to see a clear direction from God for this year. Having cleared two major outstanding issues (accommodation and transport), suddenly the pieces are coming together and the picture is a little bit clearer. It’s going to be an exciting year ahead, with many things to look forward to, one being a new (well, not exactly new ..) ministry involvement. To be elaborated more once plans from the church leadership firm up.
Looking forward to being involved in missions too, so will be going for MEP (Missions Exposure Program) to be followed up with a trip to somewhere. Somewhere la, see where God leads.
Work’s been forgiving, these few days .. being able to leave home late and return home early. Not because I wanted to .. okay .. (secretly), but because of the appointments that the salesperson fixed. Weird timing. Work conditions here are pretty good, hoping for a good raise and bonus when FY ends! So will stick around for awhile. Get more exposure. Looking forward to being involved in an implementation of a project that I worked on last year .. and we’re almost gonna get the job! Woohoo!
God’s so good.
Here are some pictures of my place!
