Your Birthdate: August 20 |
| Your birth on the 20th day of the month adds a degree of emotion, sensitivity, and intuition to your reading. The 2 energy provided here is very social, allowing you to make friends easily and quickly. Yet you are apt to have a rather nervous air in the company of a large group. You have a warmhearted nature and emotional understanding that constantly seeks affection. You are very prone to become depressed and moody, as emotions can turn inward and cause anxiety and mental turmoil. It can be hard for you to bounce back to reality when depression sets in. When things are going well, you can go just as far the other way and become extremely affectionate. |

Matthew 28:19
I'm sure this verse is well-known to most of us. Matthew 28:19, the Great Commission. And to all those Sale agents, dun get too happy. It has nothing to do with your year end bonus. This is in fact an instruction from our Lord, Jesus Christ, to go forth to the world and spread His teachings and help people to walk in His light. And this brought me the memories when I first went to Cambodia for my first mission trip.
It was in the year of 2002. I went for 2 weeks starting from the last week of Nov to the first week of Dec. I didn't know what to expect because I had nvr really visited nor seen any 3rd world country. I am not sure if i could adapt to the condition and I hope that what ever training I went thru in the army would come in handy. But I just knew tat i just had to trust in God. When we left S'pore and reached Cambodia, we met Rev Mok and his wife, Mee Hwa. Less than a few hours, we loaded onto the 4-wheel-drive truck and set off to the province of Pursat which was nearly 6 hours ride away from Phnom Penh. And the road was dusty (dirt road) and the bumpy (pothole). At the end of the ride, my bum felt firmy. By evening time, we reached the first village, Phum Themai. The next morning, we took motorbikes into the our destinated village, Syaet Borei. The bikes went thru padi fields, forested areas and after an hour, we reached the village. I told myself i will nvr sit in a bike ever again. I would rather walk. Then the first week was to make a concrete flooring underneath the church in the village. As the materials for the cement mix was insufficient, the next few days, some of us have to travel out to get the pebbles and sand. It was really harsh work. But i really enjoyed it and to see the final product was very fulfilling. At the end of that week, we left the village and yes, without any choice, i took the bike out of the village. Then we set off back to Phnom Penh. The first team left while i stayed on to wait for the nex team. And again we set off to Pursat and den took the BIKE into Syaet Borei again. This time, the team is doing Christmas Outreach and we did a mime, helped out in Children Ministry and it was indeed a fruitful trip.
At the end of the trip, as i reflected, I see that i adapted pretty well and in fact I love Cambodia. And I somehow feel a passion for the people. I'm not sure if it is Cambodia that God wants to send me into but I'm pretty sure that God has a purpose for me in the mission field. It's just a matter of time only. So meanwhile, just have to keep myself in shape and let the Lord continue to mould me.
And on Sunday, Rev Mok and Mee Hwa were back in town. They were back to settle some stuff and on tat Sunday held a Prayer meeting for Cambodia. Many people came but SACC was the main 'shareholders'. Haha. We were there to pray for the staff in Cambodia and also to pray for more people internally and externally to rise up and help out in the ministry. Also prayed for the activities and programs. I am really glad to have know Rev Mok and Mee Hwa. They are really a couple with great faith and love for God. It's nearly a decade since they left home and set off to a faraway land. It must not have been easy for them but then after all these years, one could see that the Lord is faithful and doing many great things thru them. I really prayed that I could be as bold as them. Lord, not my will, but Yours be done!
Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age

When Death met Creator!
Well it has been a while I update my blog. Guess I'm busy studying for my exams just like many of you all. Or rather I'm trying to look busy studying for my exams. Haha. Nah! I'm really studying. Stress! O.o" Nothing much happen to me the week before. Except for a few 'accident'. Haha. On saturday, had worshp pract in church. So the team was testing sound and I decided to go over to Chapel to see if the sound was too loud. As the Chapel is locked, I entered thru the store room that was linked from the MPH to the Chapel. As I entered the Chapel, my hand happily swung the door close. And the door can either only opened from inside the room or a key if from the Chapel. ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! I was trapped in Chapel. Thkfully, I was calm and i started banging on the door frantically. But to no avail. Then i called David, nvr picked up den I called Gary and thkfully his phone is with him. He came to my rescued. Haha. The things that I nvr imagined myself doing. Haha.
I guess the moment of the week was on Sunday. Beside leading 2 sessions of worship, I was also at Leng Leng's mum encoffining svc. After the svc as the coffin was driven out and the relatives and frens followed behind. I was looking from afar and somehow I started to tear. I didn't know Leng's mum in personal but somehow I felt grieved. Grieved not becoz of fear of death but rather the feeling of losing someone important.
I remembered when I was very young, there was this incident where I cried so badly because I was scared of death. I didn't know where i would go when I die. I was pretty young in faith at that time. And I had no idea why i suddenly thought of that. It could have been God talking to me. Haha! But now, I gave thks to God because we are people of hope and need not fear death. But rather death should be joyous ocassion becoz we know that the race is completed and there will no longer be pain and suffering.
I also remembered when my 2nd elder sister passed away, I shed no tear. Not because I felt nothing. In fact, I was very close to her and I was really very young at that time. 9 yrs old. I tried to cry but just couldn't. I believe that God was there with me and He had somehow or rather assured me that my sister is safe with Him and I need not worry nor grieved.
After hearing what i say, you all may think that I definitely look forward to my death bed. Haha. Actually not really! I'm not contradicting myself. It is just that since i'm assured that death is merely going back to my Creator, I think it is more important to look at the days that we have on earth. How am I going to spend these years? I definitely want to spend it wisely and we really need the Lord's guidance and wisdom. I prayed hard that when I lie on my final bed and take my last breath, the Lord is pleased and draws me to Him saying, "Good and faithful servant" Amen!

Where is the barber?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut andhis beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.When they eventually touched on the subject of God, thebarber said: "Idon't believe that God exists.""Why do you say that?" asked the customer."Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if Godexists, would there be so many sick people? Wouldthere be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."The customer thought for a moment, butdidn't respondbecause he didn't want to start an argument.The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barber shop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty andunkempt.The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "Youknow what? Barbers do not exist.""How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I justworked on you!""No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbersdon't exist because if they did, there would be no people withdirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.""Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber."What happens, is, people do not come to me.""Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That'sthe point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don'tgo to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
I had read this many times but i always forgot the ending. But i tot tat this is a very good illustration to share with people about God. But for us to take note is tat, even when we know God, we still will be face with sufferings and pain. We are still pretty much in the world like before knowing God. But after knowing God, our trust and confidence is in God. Even through our trials and tough times, we know that our God is faithful and will deliver us through.
