Have you even caught in that situation before??? i remember in my most vivid memory is when i was doing my Math Paper and here comes the question and you just stare blank blank, blink blink and hopefully there is some magical ink that will surface for you to see and write.

i think sometimes it like that in my walk with God. Sometimes, when i faced with big challenges, i really dunno what to do! Surprise, Pastors are also human wah!!! ahhahahaa but sometimes we really dunno what to do. In my mind there are always three options! What are they? Well maybe you can identify,

1) Run away!!!! (Easiest and the best options)

2) Dun care!!! ( Can’t be bothered, wait for things to happen)

3) Take Courage, FACE IT! (Siong man)

If you are neither of this, then something wrong with you la!!!hahaha kidding., but isn’t it.. option 1 and 2 the easiest way out?

Often, Option 3 is the hardest to do but actually this is what God wants his children to do, is to take courage and face it.

God has to remind Joshua the young commander who was leading the entire nation to take courage and face it and he repeated three times!!! God did not tell him the solution but first take courage and be strong. i think young Joshi was caught in that situation, what to do Lord???? Why me????  But he made the decision to be strong and courageous even though he was not sure what to do at first.

You see, God only reveals his plans to us when we say Lord we want to be strong and courageous. It is not the other way round. So friends, when you are caught in that situation that tempts you to go to option 1 and 2. Always remember young Joshi who made option 3 as the best way to go! Remember, be strong and courageous!

So many choices to make!!!!! Everyday is all about making choices!!! What time to get up, (Duh, school no choice) what clothes to wear, where to go play or shopping. We have to make minor and major decisions everyday. Some requires thinking, some requires no brainer. But the truth of the matter is, we are always confronted with so many crossroad decisions that sometimes, it can get really overwhelming.

Lately, i was faced with a difficult decision. It is that type where you feel God has said it and prompted it but your heart is not willing to do so. Have you ever felt that way?

been not sleeping too well cause thinking through..dunno why..somehow when you grow older, more things to think about or worry. but ya that is part of life. Last time i use to think well adults seem to have it going for them… afterall they can do whatever they want but not us!!!! Now is the opposite, i think being a youth is so much better, cause the responsiblities are not too much but i guess that is part of life as you grow up, it forces you to mature.

Sometimes standing by what God said and what others says can be confusing and conflicting and yet in all these, i know i have to stand firm in what i heard. How do i know? Well,, it really through times of really thinking through, understanding what GOd really wants to say. Not that God is unable to communciate to us in a clear way but it is us, Humans that unable to dig our ears clear to hear the pristine voice of God. As i am going through this process, though my mind and my heart just not sure how this decision is going to turn out but i knew deep within, there was this deep sense of comfort and peace that i am doing what i know is from God.

Making the right choices are important milestones in our life. it sets us to a certain direction, to see certain rewards, results that may statisfy or not. There will be times when you are not sure what to do then what should you do?

1. Well, take time to ask God why he wants you to do this way

2. Talk to someone whom you feel that can be your source of trust and spiritual maturity.

3. If time allows, make your decision at a later time and not immediate.

4. Allow God to lead you in this journey of trust.

Remember, when we give God our best in decision making, He will give his. Abraham has to make many important decisions in life. Some bad, some good but his heart speaks of obedience to God so look at this man of God as your role model, you will find yourself more discerning and better in decision making. Have a good day!

Yup!!! Title says it all, in a month time, i will be officially married to the loveliest lady of my life. We have been together almost three years, know her for almost 6 years before we got together. it’s incredible how God led both us together. Many times we all have an ideal picture of what relationship should be. We all have certain expectation from the other party. At first we thought wow she or he has all the qualities but then as you get together, you will realized it comes together with other ‘unknown’ qualities that either you love it or dislike it. =p

the truth of the matter is no one is perfect, we have to learn how to manage each other. of course, there are times where there will be tension, frustrated but at the same time there is joy, sweetness and support for one another.

Many people have come up to asked me so when is the best age to get attached? well.. it is pretty tricky but i always ask myself these questions..am i ready to take care of someone? is this the person i can depend on? Does this person share the same values of believing in Christ? Have i know this person enough to give me the confidence? Have i really seek the Lord on this?

so many questions right??? ahhahaa why? because it is about another life.. i dun think anyone who wants to enter into a relationship is looking for a breakup but yet at the same time, we have be true to our feelings to answer these questions. These questions helps me in my earlier years in preparing myself for the one who will be my partner for life. i want to save the best..do you?

so the next question is how do make the relationship lasting? of course besides your partner must share the same christian values as you. It is one of the hardest step and also the reason why so many relationship gets hurt in the end. Different values clashes because it is based on different foundation, different perspective. The next step is to get mentor or a spiritual coach. why mentor? Well, this mentor can help you evaluate your feelings, your thoughts and help you understand the other partner’s point of view. Relationship is all about giving (Not of Body!!!!) but of time, care, concern etc…  Spiritual Strong Mentors reminds us what we are in for. So folks, if you are not ready, dun try.. this is no drama show where sweet romance is a daily thing. There are consequences that tv and movies do not show. I must admit in my younger years, it always so tempting to get into one when everyone around you seems to have one. But i thanked God that i always believed in one thing, God will not shortchange me and when it comes, i know i will be prepared.

ok….. talk enuff.. time to get ready to write wedding cards invitations!
