Can't believe I am living at such an exciting times like these.
Can't believe I am part of such a GREAT vision. Doesn't matter what is going on with life, there is always a greater that is worth living for and going on for.
So many things have happened. Wish I had the time to blog all of them. Perhaps after work today. :)
This is it....! The greater cause the greater call. Here I am. Send me.

Random Thoughts
Sometimes I hope I can get married to a rich guy SOON!!
Haha....why you ask?
Just so that I do not need to work already (financially stable) and do what I am really passionate about FULL TIME. Redeem the broken lives, in the dark alleys, and the back streets.
But then again....it is important to SHINE in the marketplace. Just a random post, random thought. haha. :) Oh well, if it is His will, we'll know! God is good. Renewed passion. New season.
New day, new dawn.

Precious...
I'm in a season whereby there are many crossroads, many decisions, sacrifices.
The question that constantly haunt my mind: How long more do I have before time runs out? (Lol...sounds like I am dying, aye?) ...Am I making a full use of it? What am I called to do? What can I do to build on my passion, to fulfill the destiny and the purposes I have been called to? I want to give my best in this life to do all it takes to fulfill the call of life.
Jesus often answer: Great! But the question here is, are you willing to lay down your precious, for the course of My call?
Last Sunday was really faith-stretching for me, when I decide to give my precious to God. Tears just streamed non-stop down my cheek, as I hand over what I have considered to be truly all I have had for a future I am looking forward to the comng year.
As I gave it away.....there's a strong pull in my heart. Haha. Because this is really very precious! I feel the pain in giving it....and as I kept praying and casting my trust toward God, God's peace came upon me....and a certain realization came into my mind.
In life, treasure and precious could be anything. Precious doesn't mean just the material possesions, nor does it only come in monetary form. Treasure could be anything. Anything that is dear to your heart. Sometimes we are willing to sacrifice certain areas of our lives for God to move. Sometimes, we refuse God to touch some other areas of our lives.
"God this I can give. No, that I can't...not that...Oh, this, You can take it...."
Aren't we just so contradicting sometimes? We often tell God...we will trust Him with every step we take. But along the way, we begin grabbing things and insist, these are the areas we expect a certain result so much so that we refuse God to touch that part in fear of another result. The common struggle between the human flesh and the human spirit. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
I have been meditating on Gal 2:20-21. A verse that encourages us to be selfless. Selfless is not just about putting others first. When life does not sail the direction you expect it to be, laying down all the struggles in your mind, just trusting God, and His sovereignity. That is being SELFLESS.
Trusting God cannot be just a saying. Confessing with your mouth have to couple with believing it with your heart. If you do not believe, whatever confessed is void. Faith is the currency where exchange of heavenly fruits begin to occur.
This year, the theme of my life, is to: DIE to self. It doesn't matter what I feel, or what I want, or what I expect. I want to place all my worries, my circumstances, my doubts on the altar....and trust Him each and every step. No matter how frustrated, how unwilling, I will attempt to do what He wants me to do. Ain't it true, that dying to self, simply means dying to the precious in one's life? SELF talks about what is IMPORTANT and PRECIOUS to me is the most important. Selfless talks about what is important and precious to me is secondary.
Not easy. Can we truly DIE to the preciouses in all aspect of our lives....and give it all to Him? I will definitely attempt my best.
Truly, the only way to be selfless, is when we give away our precious, fixed our eyes on Jesus, the source of strength and breakthroughs in life.
Let's lay down our precious. Take up the cross and follow Jesus. One step at a time.

Time
Wish I had more time to pen my thoughts down like I used to. But obviously as you grow older, you only get busier with the increasing responsibilities in life. Nonetheless, I am determined to squeeze out time to spend time with my life team, my ever amazing disciples, and also to work on my passion.
Recently, I find myself becoming quite interested with business. Learning a lot of negotiation skills from my boss. And also to deal with different circumstances at workplace. Its eye-opening!! Woot! I am determined to find ways to start my own business, hopefully be a successful social entrepreneur in the near future. Working on it. Not gonna jump into it, but one step at a time. I believe all these experiences are worth it (even though it can be quite stretching at times).
Yesterday, I was approached by the director of Redeeming Roses ministry. Boy, I didn't know Malaysia have such a ministry. I was searching for it, but the nearest I could find was to be at the streets to meet the needs of homeless. But when I found out about Redeeming Roses ministry (to help women recovering from abuse and exploitation)...I am quite taken aback. Something close to my heart, and I'd like to look into very much.
Excited of what is ahead :) Life is short. Seize opportunities and make a difference.
