Ephesians 4:31 (New International Version, ©2011)
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
:) Indeed yes. The Lord has provide me a life that needs to be happy!
This is all about me... The lonely me... The abandon life of mine... The sadness n joy in my life...
today, it makes me feel like going back to the past. Where I think of my grandma, the way she nag me, scold, care, love, giving money, giving food, being independent, and the part telling stories to me. I actually felt quite sad and wanting to cry to see her lying on the bed, emotionless, and cant talk. She is like my source of encouragement and strength. She really gave me a lot of courage to do things that I want. She is part of supportive.
I somehow remember how she ask me to go to hospital check up for the heart. She don’t even want to disturb the whole family members to accompany her to hospital by requiring people to fetch or dropping her off. She insisted me to go hospital with her alone, using public transport, and cab to reach to hospital. If i’m not mistaken that time I was not less than 15 years old. It was more than 10 years ago. And she probably aged 70++.. She is a good fight. (Yea, according to Suet Yin) How me and her waited in the hospital to take the number for check up. Sometimes, it might ended taking number in the morning but have to return back in the afternoon for it. How silly the hospital is. But grandma always waits patiently. Chatting with people around, with me and nurses, though her bahasa is not good. I still remember how pain she was when the doctor poke her finger or at the arm just to test blood. That time, I felt horrible and sympathy by having those pain. Even my heart was painful to see her being poke that way. But I did ask her, she just said, “is just for a moment.” How awesome is she…
I also remember how she used to told me stories about her own self when I was really young. She told about her life, her love with grandpa, her most golden time when she had a gold teeth. And she is so pretty when she was young.
For now, I only get to be back to visit her when she got sickness. I felt so terrible. But this is all I could do. I couldn’t go and face my idiotic father, who seems never appear before in hospital. Because I never heard his name once when Aunt Mei didn’t mention about his name. But I am just fine and I knew my 2 sis will go and visit her.
I guess, I should go early before dawn tomorrow just to see what I can do. and though is a rush for me, but nothing is much more rusher than my grandma.
has receive news that grandma has admitted into hospital due to stroke. But I haven’t got time to visit her yet. Planning tomorrow if it might. But i guess, i couldn’t make it as well… Need to rush to MOE. SIgh…
But thank God that He knows I’m tired, mayb this is the time for me to rest at night. But I felt sorry because I can’t do my best to do all this for the sake of Aunt Connie. It might drag her time to late to submit the SPK update form. But I guess I will try to make my best to finish it up on time though is all typing. Will do my best.
And about grandma, I still dunno if it will be alright for me to go and see her. Sigh… Been praying hard and hoping she will get better. >< Crossing fingers….!!!
This is much like the mother of a newborn baby. She has already sacrificed much of her life and personal ambitions to the life of the child before it is ever born, but after the birth the sacrifice continues. Each time the baby cries, the mother is disturbed from much needed sleep. Hours are spent giving often, regular feedings. Messes are cleaned up. Clothes, diapers, sheets and so forth are in the washing machine continually. She hovers over the little baby and gives it a protected environment. Sometimes she is so tired she thinks she will collapse. She loves the baby with a love that she cannot describe in words. But do you know something? That newborn baby does not love her! That’s right….
That baby doesn’t love anybody really…. unless it would be itself. But she begins to work on the problem right away. She coddles, hugs, kisses, rocks, and coos over the baby. She gives it constant attention. And then one day, she is greatly rewarded when she hears it say, “Mommy, I love you.” My friends…. that little short sentence make all the tiring effort seem worthwhile.
a week passed. And I had a great story about Jesus who wash His disciples legs. This is to show how much He loves us, and just to humble himself as a King to serve us by washing our feet. His act remind me of slaves who work for their master.
Serve and you will be serve.
And another story in the bulletin about mother. It was indeed another story which touched my heart deeply because of my past. Rather I could say, I nearly cry. ><
Will publish it tomorrow. As it will be a long day ahead for Monday.

Get to know your own character first. Thanks for hurt me again with stupid reason u gave yourself. Ask yourself, are u worth to judge or assume or saying other people when u have physcology problem.
All written is just a reminder for such a person like u. Know your wrong and your aim before u start talking about people.
A stock market consultant recently suggested, “People should always sell when they have a better place to put their money.” While true, the challenge is recognizing when one place is better than another, which, of course, no one can identify with any level of certainty. I typically respond to this sort of financial advice with a resounding “Duh! No kidding?” It’s like telling investors to buy low and sell high. Please tell us something we don’t already know.
Jesus once gave a crowd of people some fresh “advice.” He said, “If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for My sake, you will save it” (Luke 9:24). I doubt there were few, if any, in the crowd who said. “Well, duh.” Instead, most stood there scratching their heads, thinking, Huh?
Although Jesus drove home this thought on more than one occasion (Matthew 16:25; Luke 17:33), it’s not exactly the kind of advice people hear every day. And while it caused them to stop and think, those who truly heard Him understood He wasn’t talking about holding on to our physical life. The word Jesus used for “life” is the word psyche, which is the Greek word for the soul. He was referring to our inner life and clinging solely to our own efforts and plans to secure it. In essence, Jesus was saying that without Him, joy and meaning will slip through our fingers.
Self-reliance is a poor investment to hold on to because it never works out the way we think it should. And it prevents us from discovering the life our souls crave in a friendship with Jesus and living for His purposes (John 15:15).
What might you be hanging on to that you need to “sell” in order to find your life in Him?
