He is Mighty to save

Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me

When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation

Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender

Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Imperfection

A water bearer had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream.

"I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you."

"Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?"

"I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.

The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."

Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again the pot apologized to the bearer for its failure.

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house."

Thought of the day and for a friend in need...

"Cowardice asks the question: is it safe?
Expediency asks the question: is it politic?
Vanity asks the question: is it popular?
But conscience asks the question: is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular- but one must take it simply because it is right."

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sometimes in life, we face many difficulties or maybe troubles and problems but these are just milestones that would either make us stronger or break us. What i can say is that the building or the breaking all depends on ourselves and it boils down to the point on which the choices we make...deters the end result.

my friend, if u are reading this...let me tell u,

"Life is always hard but God is always fair!"

sometimes i know it's hard to accept some facts in life that is unfair but it's the choice we make, makes the difference, u can wake up and be late for skool, lecturer scolds u and then u say "wat a bad day...!" or "Thank God, i'm alive to live another day and be able to hear!" Choice is ours...

Temptations are everywhere to be found, it might be ur best friend sometimes but still the choice is ours to pick... Can't blame God for wat has happened or why it happen to only me, everyone has a fair share of problems, rich or poor...

Once i was sharing with a friend of mine saying that how Blessed is he that he does not have to worry abt having wat to eat every new day as he's rich but he also brought to light that he has to worry abt losing the money he has... well rich or poor it doesn't matter... Again, it's the choices we make.

Sometimes i know it's hard to control ur tongue in the use of words when u are outside or wat but remember the start where Martin Luther King, Jr. mentioned, What matter most is. "is it right?" be it,is it safe to use those words, is everyone using those words, is it the most HAPPENING words to use... it's the CHOICE we make.

I choose "IS IT RIGHT?"

What's yours today?

my 2 cents worth of thoughts

19/03/2006 SUNDAY ROX

b4 sun was sat...

Sat

Was a fun day, went ECP for picnic with my cell members and we did cycling but i picked blading together with john as i wanna learn, cos i'm gonna practice and beat hitomimashimoro my classmate in it....showdown would prob be after assessments hahaha...

Thank God that the weather was fine as i forgot to plan a plan B just in case it rain...how silly and forgetful of me as usual...sotong boy...! anyone wanna eat soton? hahaha...but i learnt my lesson, never go to ECP on a skool holiday or prob weekends... so crowded, feel like fainting.

Anyway was a fruitful trip got to enojoy with the rest and relax even though i know in the back of my mind there are some projects to rush finish... but i need a break too...

SUN

Well today like the main headline u know, TODAY'S SUNDAY ROX MY SOCKS. Why? hahaha to start with...Hmmm i did like to try starting from the back, as u can see i'm a liverpool fan and they won 3-1 yeappie!!!

too double the Joy, my church soccer team "Joshua Generation United" ROX everyone's SOCKS today...we were playing a friendly match against another church at bukit panjang, some more at my house there...this time it was at the west side...so shiok cos everytime bedok, pasir ris or some east side.

line up today was:

Keeper - Bram @ pattsomepong
Right Backs - Joel no.3 / Garry
Left Backs - the Kang / Shawnie
Centre Back - Alaster the molester
Sweeper/Centre Back - Sam Lim Kopi
Right Midfielder - Ah Q / William
Left Mid - Warren
Defensive Mid - David / Justus
Centre Mid - Lester / Vincente
Attacking Mid - Gordon
Striker - Me

As i was saying, the match went well, of cos for the winners would say that, We had a thrashing match mann! FINAL score was 8-1...could have easily been 11-1 or 15-1 but thanks to my legs i miss 3 shots on goal... but contributors for the goals are: in order

1 - Me
2 - Me again
3 - Not Me (Warren)
4- Not Me too (Warren)
5- Ahhh Me again!
6- No More Me (Warren)
7- Justus
8- Warren (Greedy sia this guy,hat trick not enough must score 1 more)

Anyway wanna say "Keep it up Guys, Great Job" our passes were direct, creative and DEADLY! Previously against the same team our attack flair was nice but david and me didn't play so lost 3-0 so u should know why lar...hahaha

Ya was my happiest day in soccer cos never win in such a big goal difference... and never score 3 goals in a match b4 too heehee and that opens my goal scoring a/c...let the flood gates open! Partly i dunno whether should say this but dun care lar, "sorry 1st to our female supportors" It seems lar everytime u all come and support we lose and when never come we win always... seems to me the gals distracted the guys from soccer hahaha...the younger guys are a bunch of Lycans hahaha!

so that was how i spent my SUNDAY TODAY! WE ROCK OUR SOCKS

With loads of Luff

SCHOOL SUX BUT LIFE IS NOT

Just a simple update of myself, guess by the past few blogs u can see i'm somehow lazy to type my life story, but when i'm talkative it can be like 1200-1500 or more words type of research heehee.

Anyway, 1st week of school has ended and i have started to feel the heat... well maybe becos this time round school fee is paid by myself so really need to work hard. made major mistakes in the past which lead to today being one of the oldest in class...well last time i was too playful and i wasted my life away in school and was not serious (in the sense work) at all.

Prob now i'm much different from past...grown a little (erm...4-5yrs) haha had seen much of the world outside, survive with just $250 a mths before, being poor b4 untill so jialat, now still broke lar and getting all the work experience... well i can say that even though school life is tough or stressful but i'm thankful that i can have a 2nd chance back at nafa and student life is always the best. I'm thankful to have a 2nd chance too in pathing my future once more... i thank God for the 4-5yrs of shaping and moulding of my character and my attitude towards the others and preparing for school life again.

well my age gap between my school mates and i were 4-7yrs difference but i'm so blessed to be in my church's youth ministry where i get to hang out with youths to impart my life,share our laughter and tears together, which some how prepared me in managing or relating to younger ones, help me to bridge the age gap. Surprisingly almost everyone in school thinks i'm19...Woo hoo..... hahaha my age maybe 25 this year BUT i'm still young at heart! haha

I'm Childlike not Childish heehee

yup school is stressful but the friends i made in this three months were quite fruitful, got to know a few peeps better such as Bernutz, Hitomi-mashimoro, Alex the chinaman, leon, Jo Jo "armani", Guo You, Tsen "vincent" haha and of cos gabrielana the latest addition to the tribe she's hitomi's friend whom i got to know when my class had an in-line blading outing at ECP. Oh gab Thanks for the November Choplin Cd...Nice songs!
