1 very interesting day
OK, here it is.
This morning I woke up at 4.30am, yes... it's 4.30am, dunno why but I can remember I felt the tugging from HS to get up and pray. Being the lazy me, I ignored Him and went back to sleep and wake up again at 5.30am, then got up at 5.45am, said a quick prayer, ironed my clothes then took shower.
Looked at the clock showing 6.38am and thought to myself, "hmm... I still have time for breakfast." So I had shin-ramyun (korean noodles) for breakfast. But after I washed my dishes, I realised it's already 7.14am. So I rushed down to the garage and off I went. I prayed to God asking Him not to give me a heavy traffic.
Lo and behold, there's almost no traffic at all. I was like "wow...". I drove peacefully n not speeding at all. Then near my office, somebody just cut my lane and I drove next to him and gave him my angry face full of hatred (for cutting my lane), without even looking at the traffic in front of me. Then all of a sudden, bang... My heart almost popped out. I was like, "Oh God... no. I shouldn't have looked at that stupid guy who cut my lane." (yeah, I managed to curse that guy calling him stupid in my heart. This is one area I'm still trying to overcome)
I got out of the car expecting my bumper gone and did a huge damage to the car in front of me. The guy came out of the car looking pretty calm and just wanting to quickly get it done and over with.
Then, I was like "HAH???" yes, HAH. I was speechless. No scratch, no dent, no damage what so ever. The guy calmly said (with a smile) "Wow, there's nothing. OK." I quickly apologised to him and went back to my car. He drove off.
Stunt, I quickly prayed to God repenting for my bad attitude (giving the guy who cut my lane such angry face full of hatred n calling him stupid in my heart). Got to my office 5mins late. Went to bathroom to freshen up with cold water, then realised I didn't shave properly. I was like,"Oh man.." Then I said to myself, "Oh well, who cares I didn't shave properly. It won't affect my day. God has protected me in the accident earlier, so why should I feel bad looking at my face not shaved properly."
I came out of the toilet smiling. Worked through all my reports and managed to finish most of it. ah... such an interesting day.
Btw, how are you?

It's about ur future
Had an interesting conversation with a friend at church conference last wk. Something I said to her really blew me away.
It's not about our past, it's about our future.
It's not about what we've done, but it's about what we can achieve.
And what I mean by 'it' is having Jesus in our life as our Lord and Savior. In Him and with Him, nothing is impossible. We will be able to live our life to the fullest according to the purpose He has given us. We will be able to function according to what He has designed us to be.
Our future will be so much better with Him, and we will achieve so much more when we have Him as our Lord and Savior.
Don't look at how much further you have to go, look how far you've gone, then you'll realise that you can go so much further then you could imagine. And it's all because we have Jesus in us.

Just wanna be in His presence
I went to church corp prayer meeting tonight. ah.. it was so wonderful. I hate being away from Him, I love being in His presence, it's indescribable. I don't want it to stop. I just want to continue worshipping Him. When I'm not in His presence, I will sin, I will rely on my own strength and understanding, I will make mistake, I will hurt myself and others. Lord, I just wanna be with you. I just wanna be in your presence. Don't leave me, be with me always, please?

another heart-breaking news
I dont know what is going on, but I am starting to hear and see so many sorrow all around me. Yesterday I met this indonesian guy (with his wife and his mum) who owned and run an indonesian restaurant long time ago in Hawken Drive, near UQ.
I don't really know them but when they saw me his wife waved at me and say hi to me. After exchanging stories why we haven't seen each other (me working in Gold Coast) I found out the main reason why the closed down their business, and it's because of the medication he had to go through because he suffers from kidney failure. He said he has to go to hospital often to do what is called by hemodialysis, and currently he's waiting for a kidney transplant.
To see him smiling so big while sharing his story really touched my heart. ah... my heart is aching. Lord, please help them, please cure him and comfort them, please?

God in my everything
Yesterday, at the church seminar I heard and sang this new song. The lyrics really touch my heart. Titled 'Everything' by Tim Hughes. ah... I want God to be in everything.
Dinner
After church seminar I went back home to take a quick nap before going for dinner in Market Square, Sunnybank.
When I got there, lo and behold I saw 2 new people (both koreans) joining us for dinner. So total now we have 6 new korean friends who most likely will be attending our church and Life-Group. We had 4 already.
What is happening? we're seeing 4 new visitor plus maybe another 2. I was in awe when I met the 2 new koreans tonight. If all of them decide to come regularly to our church and LG, how are we going to help them grow in God? Oh God... I don't know what your plans are, but please guide us and give us wisdom.
