Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Changes is necessary for growth.
I like what Pst Tan Ye Peng taught today. Before his close of his message, he mentioned about a guy who want to change the world. But after trying for many years, he was already middle-aged, he then was to change is family. But still after trying for many years, he finally realised that if only he changed himself, his character and the things he does, he is able to then change his family and the world.
I have the above moral in one sentence, "To change the world today, one got to first change himself/herself."
Traditional thinking or methods are limiters of the pontential in ourselves. Growth will not take place when we don't want to change from traditional thinker or do-er, to a new mind-set thinker or do-er. To change involves facing the cold, hard truth, and that's what many do not want to deal with. Not easy to deal with, but the huge result will come after.
A new year means a new start, but what's the point if one does not change or face their faults of the entire year. Let's not be fools, who refuse the gentle hinting of the Holy Spirit; instead let's be wise and face change now.
Only when change occur, growth will follow suit.
Just like the seed, there is different phases of a growing seed to a growing plant. The seed likewise have to face the change in form, in order to experience growth in a different way. From a seed to a sprout, then to a young plant to a tree, Changes are in the process of growth for a seed.
Likewise if we can change, embrace it, we will be able to experience growth in a different way.
Let us face it together, you are not alone.

After yesterday's thanksgiving for the year 2007, besides me receiving the Most Evangelistic award, there is :
Samuel and
Yuhan on the Transformation award,
Shirleen and
Dhanuj on the Most Encouraging Award,
Jessica and Joel on the Proactive award, and
Yuxin and Bronson on the Attitude award.
Joshua on the Most Evangelistic award
Just want to congratulate all of the award
recipients. Just want to say, the rest of the members who haven got any of the awards, I also have seen the things that you done for the cell in the whole year. I really felt that even though we may receive all the awards given to us for the work that we have done, we have to continue to do better than ever. Cause all the things we done for in the year 2007 is for the Lord and it's also part of his lifestyle here on earth during his earthly ministry. Since being a Christian means to live out our life the same way Jesus did, we are to live our lives closely, according to the commandments in the Word.
Not an easy task as it may sounds to be, to be transform, to be all the time encouraging and being a good cheer, to be proactive and to lead as a leader, to have a good and
positive attitude, and of course to evangelise whenever we can do so. All the above are just the major headings or titles of the things that we ought to do.
Although, the year 2007 has just come to an end, a close. But it signifies a beginning of which we ought to start it with a bang. The year 2008 will definitely be a greater year yet for many of us here. Don't be complacent, for our
walk is not going to be a bed of roses. With the devil around to steal, kill and
destroy, we pray and fast over the things, dreams and vision for the new year ahead.
A end of something always means the mark of a new beginning, so let's graciously forgive all our friend's err and offenses, and embrace them the way God would do so. Let's all begin this new year of 2008 with a bang. A good beginning will definitely have a great outcome for the end of this year.
Be a good cheer and let's all work hand in hand together as a family.

Hi guys, today is boxing day. A day after
Christmas, the things that happen in the midst of joyous season sure have left a major impact on my life.
On Christmas eve, there was the TV premiere of the polar express, a rather nice movie. In it, there was this
statement made, "Even if you don't see it, just believe." When Joanna made a comment on it, it struck my thoughts too. Same for our walk with God, I realised the importance of believing and to have faith, that God is always there for us. God gave us the assurance of that in His Word, that in all things and situations, He will be there for us.
Dreams and visions that God gave us, are the things that we need to see, to believe and to protect. It's never easy for us to do so, when the devil comes along and try all means to steal, kill, or
destroy them. Sometimes, we start to become alittle unbelieving and untrusting to His assurance and His Written Word, after encountering it.
It is Now that we need stop allowing the devil to pollute our mind, and begin to build our trust on him. In this manner, we will be able withstand the attacks of the evil one, to be able to stand strong in it.
Lets build our faith and trust in the right areas of our lives and be more sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
P.S. To people who need a listneing ear, pls contact me, I will try my best to help you.
God love you and I love you too. Amen

So long since I found time to post something up here.
I felt the urge to post just a few minutes ago. This is not a complain or a depressing post. More like a post of rememberance
I just felt that people when it comes to a time to cool off or to take a breathe-er, there will always be a time of doubt or confusion. It's when the parties who is involved, becomes the most vulnerable to any form of attack from the devil. Time and time again, I see either others or myself in the situation as mentioned above. But not knowing how to handle it may be the most foolish or dangerous thing to do.
During this time frame of silence, many things will come to your mind. Example, "Why things are happening the way it is?" or "What did I do wrong?"..... so on and so forth. The who, what when, where, and how questions come into play. This is where I realised that the devil
instills a space of doubt in your mind, influencing you to doubt more than ever.
I learned from the word of God that in all things, learn to lean and place all the circumstances with God. It may not be easy to do it than saying it. But thats how it's being done. His ways are higher than mine and that's a fact. I also realised that in all things seek him first, even though circumstances may not change, but there is an assurance that God will make a way for me.
If you feel like praying for me, Please feel free to pray over my finances and a clear direction of my life and things pertaining to it too. Simply love the few worship songs by Hillsongs, 'Hosanna', 'Saviour King'.......Just updated my crazy wishlist too.....

We are not perfect, but made perfect by His loveMistakes are being
committed everyday. Failure to say the right things at the right time, Gossipping, Procrastinating and many others, are just some of the many things we done wrong. It's how fast we react and did we repent over such err.
Daily, we unknowingly and knowingly committed many mistakes, thats is why the Word of God told us to examine ourselves daily. If the mistake is committed between you and God, then you got to be accountable to God. Seek for forgiveness from God. If the mistake is committed between you, God and the people, then you got to be accountable to God and the people. Seek for forgiveness from God and the people. If you want others to forgive you, you first be willing to change.
IF we are the ones whom people let us down, and others have apologise, forgive them than to nurse the hurt in our hearts. Sow the right seed in the right field. Seed of Hurt is the rotten seed that grow into factor that caused our hearts to harden and love will grow cold. The Word mention before that
"the Love of many shall wax cold". In the bible, the inquity refers to the different rotten seed in the heart. But if we cast out all these, we are still able to have the good seed growing in us. Without the rotten seed, the Seed of love grows and blooms, and it will in turn affect the people around us to love others too... Love cover a multitude of sins
we make mistakes, but willingness to change changes everything..... so think about it.
