My days

A journal to share with close friends whom I don't get to see often. An update of my life, the good things and bad things that went passed, which are both blessings as they are my learning experiences in life. You might just get a glimpse of the inner me which you have never seen before =)

Farewell




26th April marked my last day in the company and with that I have specially ordered cupcakes (www.flickr.com/photos/minicupcakes) to 'feed' my colleagues =) It has been a heartwarming week, with a couple of farewell lunch/dinner, lovely cards and lovely farewell/birthday gifts.

Among them I found a great mentor that taught me with great patience and never failed to give a helping hand when I met up with problems at work. Colleagues/friends that are really spontaneous and fun to be with during the out-of-work activities. Friends that lead me to Christ and also reintroduce the shine in my life with unconditioned love and care. People whom have helped me without much hesitation when I asked for their help.

I really feel thankful and blessed for their presence in my 5 year stay in the company. All the best guys and if you're reading this, stay in touch! =)

Really looking forward to the new challenging job ahead!!

Financial Blessings

Everytime during the initial part of a church services, pastor would always encourage all christians to do tithes and offerings or service offerings & etc. For me to give a service offering is not of a problem but tithes and offerings...hmmm.... I have not started on it yet as giving out 10% of my pay doesnt seem easy for me whom have other obligations and stuff to take care of and of coz being a rather worldly person, that amount still seem very significant in impacting my 'spending' power. But ever since I returned to church, this idea have been bugging me somehow...like..should I? or should I not?hmm....

So in order to convince myself to give tithes & offerings. I picked up a book among a stash in my sister's room and started reading and I have just finished reading the book titled "Money not enough?" by Rev Chia Kew San. The following is some important take home pointers or should I say BEAR IN MIND ALWAYS pointers:

God loves to bless people and we are blessed with every spiritual blessings that consist of good health, long life, soundness of mind, balanced emotions and a close relationship with Him. Everything that we need to live a life that is pleasing to God, He has already given to us.

We are blessed according to Christ's riches and God will meet, supply and fully satisfy all our needs. All our needs will be fully meet by God; He will give us more than enough so that we can be a blessing to many.

But why are many of us still worried over our finances?

It is because alot of us have submit ourselves to the Money God. The money god uses difficulties and hardships to make the Christian serve him and chase after him. The Christian spends all his time and energy trying to earn enough money to provide for him and his family instead of serving the Lord. Therefore, we need to bind the money god so that we can possess God's provisions. After binding the money god, some testimonials showed that God has bring them even more financial blessings.

When you are blessed financially, do not forget to tithe to your church. How you respond to God and others when are you blessed will determine your future blessings. You are blessed in order to be a blessing to others. When you bless others with what you have been blessed and you prove faithful with the little that you have, God will pour out much more into your lap.

I am using the above paragraph to remind me constantly so that I will tithe on my next pay day!Blessed all those whom have been tithing and may this post be a encouragement for those Christian friends that have not tithe =)

Faith

The following is something that I have read today and I just thought I will share it, especially with my christian friends.

The operation of the gift of faith is associated with an unnatural boldness in prayer and preaching.

Faith deals boldly with people and their problems.

Faith is visionary. It views the future with absolute assurance and hope.

Faith thinks positively. It hates negativity.

Faith feeds on who we are in Christ and our potential in Him.

Faith speaks to other people, to situations and often to itself.

Faith dreams and meditates on the complete fulfilment of prayer. It does not dwell on anxieties.

Faith uplift others and inject hope into their lives.

Faith imparts the ability to believe and trust God.

Faith proclaims God's goodness. It sees God as good.

Faith is smiling, happy and victorious -- it is undefeatable.

No matter how bad a situation becomes, no matter how much opposition arises, faith knows what it has and will not be denied.

The above was quoted from 'Moving in the Spirit' by Dr Phil Pringle
