Yet another heart-throbbing song: Scandal Of Grace

Just posted a song, which saw me weeping. Even as i am blogging now, am so touched on Saturday, by this song. Pastor Kong announced, also that we will have another Arise and Build 2013/14. And here's my heart thought: I am giving my dream of getting a new guitar into the hands of God. In this Arise and Build, i am POURING OUT MY LIVES TO JESUS.

Today, it's also my colleague-cum-mentor, Lawrence last day here in JRP Manpower. I was told by him that his last day would be on the end of OCT, but he has decided to bring it forward. And i was pretty much affected though i am almost 70% done learning. But since he has decided to leave, i respect him and hereby wishes him the very best in the near future.I just wanna say thank you for teaching me, helping me thru this 2 weeks. I am at 70%, it's all your hard work and giving. Lawrence, Thank you..

Scandal of Grace - Teo Poh Heng @ City Harvest Church

Grace, what have you done?
Murdered for me on that cross
Accused in absence of wrong
My sin washed away in your blood

Too much to make sense of it all
I know that your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace, you died in my place
So my soul will live

Chorus:
Oh to be like you
Give all I have just to know you
Jesus, there's no one besides you
Forever the hope in my heart

Death, where is your sting?
Your power is as dead as my sin
The cross has taught me to live
In mercy, my heart now to sing

The day and it's trouble shall come
I know that your strength is enough
The scandal of grace, you died in my place
So my soul will live


And it's all because of you, Jesus
It's all because of you, Jesus
It's all because of your love
And my soul will live

Goodbye past, Hello future

After leaving Asia Mannequin, i found and gave myself a month's long of break. And if you ask me what i did on the month's long leave, it's practically nothing but my likes and really much discovery, studies. And because i have so much time on hand, i saw myself doing the things i have always wanted to do. Like waking up late, turning in late etc. And the feeling is just awesome. Thru that one month, i kind of found myself back. And while i was enjoying, work never came into my mind though my parents was kinda worried about my future plans. Life seems pretty smooth sailing till things happen.

1. My ex-boss dad passed on. Am sorry for his loss and i hope his family will be fine and stronger.
2. 2nd tranche of the trial. In this tranche, we saw many, but also seen how God was moving in the midst of the whole thing. And thru this, the church was strengthened in faith.

And while i was still enjoying life, till Peggy Ang came and intro this new job to me. I am now a Project Officer in JRP Manpower Consultancy Pte Ltd. Today is my 8th day here and am about 60% on my job scope. A pretty nice job environment with good colleagues and specific, yet straightforward bosses. Just these two weeks, i learnt pretty much things. Am pretty enjoying my time here, and looking forward to the near future.

Best long weekend cum mission trip ever..

Woke up at 5am on 9th Aug 2013,  preparing for the long awaited mission trip to Myanmar. And here comes the first joke: the airline was delayed till 1pm. I literally laughed, and i actually tried to sleep, but for the next two hours, saw me tossing on bed. Well you could well say im excited to fly the plane. I woke up ard 7 plus, still got the "it's still early" attitude. So i asked Agapera and Bennie for breakkie, but none replied. Probably still Zzz.. I went breakkie on my own, and packed the remaining stuff into luggage. I left home ard 1020am, with Bennie and Winnie(his wife). We reached Terminal 1 ard 11am. So funny, i didn't noticed that Agapera wasn't in the same cab with us cos i was in shades. Met up with the rest at Terminal 1, at Belt 7/17.

If you asked me how is the mission trip, i just wanna very good and fruitful. Why?
1.I brought along my guitar with me, and though i didn't play for the main service, but i wasn't sad or disappointed. Being able to play for the morning and night devotion is just as good.
2. Rickson, Cyra, Bennie and Xixi, shared their personal testimony. Am just so blessed and encouraged by their testimony. Through this, i am able to see them in a different perspective. Somehow, i like them.
3. There were just too many laughs and times where we talk about issues. Balance was there.

I'm so looking forward to meet them again, whether is it mission trip or not.

My verse for this mission trip: Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ([b]definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that [c]tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall [d]garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

9 Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of [e]untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.

10 I was made very happy in the Lord that now you have revived your interest in my welfare after so long a time; you were indeed thinking of me, but you had no opportunity to show it.

11 Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be [f] content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am.

12 I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want.

13 I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who [g]infuses inner strength into me; I am [h]self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].

Lonely isn't alone

Alone is a physical state where you are with no one except urself. Like in a shopping mall. Lonely on the other hand is no longer physical,but also emotional. Right now, I'm at 记得吃, plaza sing outlet. I'm alone but not lonely because I'm meeting Daniel and Jeffery later for LAN game. My weekdays is really quiet and lonely, cos no one answered my question or reply on my posts.. I was lonely to the extend that I cried.. But thank God, that the weekend is good.

Home

When was the last time i sat down here?? Exactly 16 days ago.. It's just been so so busy with work, meeting friends, went to many many places.. I guess the best place on Earth, is home. Why? At home, i can play the guitar, sing the songs i like or to like to practice etc.. It is home, that the we felt the warmth, love of family members. No matter where you can be, home is always there waiting for you. I just watched the movie, Saving General Yang. The movie is good. All six sons was killed in the fierce battle against the Liao. Eventually, the sixth brought his father back home though he was dead. It is a good show.. Haha, my guitar 1st string just broke.. Guess it's time to restring all six of them.

Relationship is Accepting

In every relationship in this world, one have to learn how to accept just as one is. Acceptance is the first step to start any and every relationship in this planet, whether you like it anot. Example: A employer is looking for some workers to build a 4 room house. He went out and start to seek for the workers he need. At the end of the day, he had 5 workers and their contacts. The nxt day, he contacted the 5 workers for a interview. The 5 workers met up at the employer's house worksite and began the interview. At the end of the interview, all 5 workers are now employed as contractors to build the employer's 4 room house. The nxt day, the 5 arrived at the worksite and begin their work. Day 1 ended, seeing the walls are up and painted. At the end of Day 1, the employer came and see the progress. He was pleased that the walls are painted the colors as requested. Day 2 started, and the contractors came to continue on their work. Today they did the finishing works for the walls and started the works on the floor. They put on the tiles the employers requested and was done the nxt day. Day 2 ended with only 50% of the tiles being laid. The employer came and see the progress. Though it's only 50% of the tiles laid, the employer was pleased with their works. Day 3 started and the contractors came and continue their work. Today they finished laying the remaining 50% of the tiles and they began to install all the windows and doors. Day 3 ended seeing all the windows and doors up. The employer didn't come because he was ill. Day 4 started and the contractors came to continue their work. Today they had all the electrical appliances installed to their respective places. Day 4 ended and the employer came to see. He was pleased that though he didn't come yesterday, the contractors did as he requested. Day 5 started and the contractors came to continue their work. Today they had all the furniture placed in their respective places. As there are too many furniture, they couldn't bring in all. They went to tell the employer that they needed more time to finish. The employer accepted their request, and they went home  and was told to come back three days later. The contractors went home happy, having the sense of acceptance. Three days later, they came back and continue their work. Today is Day 8 and they managed to bring in the remaining furniture and placed them to their respective places. At the end of the day, the employer came and see, and he was pleased with the work done. Day 9 started and this time, the employer was already waiting for them at the doorstep. Today he gave them their pay, appreciate them for working for him.

In this story, we saw and heard the many obstacles both the contractors and the employer met along the way. But none gave up or walked away. One thing in common they had: Acceptance. They would have known the building will be difficult, and they chose to accept.

Before i end this post, i want you to do something: If you have difficulties accepting others, try accepting yourself first. Or the people you love like ur family members.
