Ot Baan Barg Moaut

Have been in Cambodia for nearly 6 weeks and keep hearing chinese pop songs sang in Khmer. It brings a familiarity feeling but yet also a alienated one as well. haha! Wonder if Jay Chou's songs are favourite here or not....

Listening to music at YOUTUBE....

I wish I have more confidence...........

Significantly insignificant..........

Muddy

After the rain, the sky clears!
It seems that the journey will be easier
But the fields become muddy!
It is just as hard as ever!

Not that there's no way!
It is about waiting upon His time.......

Bpayl Naah????
Nul Knong Bayl Pray-Jier-M'Ja.....
Jedt Bpee-Badt.....

McCambodia

Bringing McDonald into Cambodia. Do we know what we are doing? Do we have sufficient culture awareness of the new country? Do we think we know everything of the new place? We need to acknowledge that we know nothing. We need to learn about the new place. We cannot just impose our ideas, thoughts, beliefs and ways of doing things. We cannot behave, act, rationalise, speak and present ourselves in the way we are back at home. We need to be very careful, we need to be very discerning, we need to be sensitive and be awared of the critical things.

We need to realise that we know nothing and start to learn new things......

WELL WELL WELL...........

A seminar that I attended 2 yrs back. The take-home message.

1) The Wisdom of Seeking Counsel
2) The Principle of Equally Yoked
3) The beauty of Purity
4) The Principle of Shared Inheritance
5) The Presence of Willingness
6) The Key of Prayer
7) The Important value of Kindness
8) The need for Family Blessing
9) The Principle of Timing
10) The Principle of Well

I guess the last 2 points really kept me thinking. Timing. I believe that in God's timing, all things will fall into place. And I believe that God will give the best to me. But many a times, I just simply sit there and wait for God's timing. Is tat good? No in fact it's so wrong not so much in waiting upon God but in that I'm so engrossed in focusing on the timing that i do nothing but just day and night, waiting anxiously. How foolish! And also the principle of well which actually talks abt many characters in the bible found their partners near the well. Well symbolishes community gathering and for us our well is the church. Stay around the 'well' and the right one may appear rite before your eyes.

Moon

Compared to the stars...........
Compared to the sun............
Compared to the earth..........

Whoever understands the moon..............

Mystery

Losing is to gain. Maybe that's how it work. Not to gain anything material but rather wisdom. Whoever want to lose.

He gives and takes away......... as He pleases.

Paradox

There are times when one being objective may not be deemed objective because by the mere fact of that one's presence may put question on that one's objectivity.

Am I being objective?

LIGHTNING: STRIKE 2

Lightning never strikes twice on the same place. That's what they always say. But it doesn't seem to apply to me. Things always happen - again! It is not as if I never learn from the previous experience. Den why am I going thru it again?

Once again a sitting duck. Quack all I want but I still know that I need to trust You. Give me the strength. Let me trust in Your providence. Let You be the reason for me to move on! Amen!
