You, ah....play game some more lah! Playing your whole life away!

Wait Jesus come...and ask what you have done for Him. Then what you tell Him?

"I got level 56 Paladin, ah?"

Wake up your idea, lah!

3. mrbrown's podcasts

8 If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. Matt 18

Hopefully, the list doesn't increase.

Now, back to publicity work...

I think I need my own guitar

Been practising and playing on my Dad's guitar. I think it isn't for beginners. Requires more pressure and exertion on the frets just to let it sound right.

Tried playing on other guitars....simpler, lighter ones. And yes, it's much easier to play on those. I think the strings are closer to the fretboard.

But I really thank God for all the progress I have made and been through.

I think one day I'm going down to Peninsula Plaza to get my own one.

Yup...got to get back to publicity work soon...

A Lesson of Humility

34 He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. Prov 3

12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Matt 23

2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Prov 11

=====

I never dare except any commendation or praise from fellow man again. Whatever good works I produce - they all come from the Father. God is working through me. I'm just a medium for Him to minister to others.

I never dare say that:

• I am good
• I can
• I am able

For all our skills, talents, abilities, strength, competence, wisdom, knowledge, giftings, etc, come from God.

To say that I am fine by myself is irreverence to the Lord. It's a self-centered, despicable remark.

=====

27 ..."With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Mark 10

2 I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." Psalm 16

31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord. Prov 21

5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 2 Cor 3

=====

There are so many opportunities for us to make choices. [1] To think that God is responsible for it all and it's only possible because of Him. [2] To think that we are good because we can.

The Lord indeed provides me with an abundance of humble pies. Humble pie buffet. All you can eat...

Quick and brief updates.

Prayed for God to open doors to ministries for me. Many opened. One open door came up to me.

Kah Woon introduced me to Victor Seet. Victor's supervising at least one Sec 4 cell. He happens to know that the Sec 2 cells are in need of new cell leaders (especially males because majority of leaders are female down there).

Victor was told about my situation - willing to try out new things while firm commitment comes later. He suggested I sit in for a few of the Sec 2's cell meetings.

The Sec 2's meet on Sat afternoon which means I can't attend my current cell if I go for their's. And when I'm fully integrated with the Sec 2's as their assistant cell leader, I will have to detach myself from NTU cell.

"To embrace the new is to release the old."

Really need to pray and seek God's wisdom and discernment about this. Whatever He says, I pray that He will give me strength to obey.

Not my will but His be done.

Lots of free time coming up. Clearing leave before ORD.

But realised I'm not that free after all. No part-time jobs for me. Treasures in heaven are better.

Guitar lessons. Can't wait to start. Been practising on my Dad's acoustic at home. Learnt some of the basic, common chords (A, D, G). Fingers painful. But no pain, no gain.

"Though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name."

It would be a new avenue for me to worship God. Not to impress others or make myself feel good, but to glorify God. I'm doing it for Jesus.

Varsity Camp publicity. Helping out David with whatever creative juices I have left. That means I need to rely on God's creativity and inspiration. Due in some days time. Need to hurry.

Photoshop. Haven't touched in a long time. Need to get back to it to do the publicity designs for the Varsity Camp.

DistractionDomain.com. Hai....So much backlog. Got new design idea up my sleeve. But this site is far down in my list of priorities.

Jogging. Yes. Either in the morning or evening. Incoming flab. Your body is the temple for God's spirit. Present it to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing in His sight. Therefore, I need to stay fit and healthy.

Bible study and God's Word. Nice. Can never have enough of them. God always gives me the chance to apply and share whatever I learnt. Can't wait to attain more wisdom.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1

That's all for now.
