Today's passage seems to peak to me more clearly.My heart lacks peace as CF Family Camp draws near. We need about 15 more participants to cover the numbers. I totally did not expect this when we booked the place for 40 persons. For a moment I feel regret to have made such hasty decision with so much faith.

But somehow today's passage seems to be telling me, "Hey, take this as a test of faith." Then I started asking myself, how would I react if God is not going to fill up the remaining spots? What am I going to do? Am I going to be angry at God , or am i going to continue to love Him the same way?

God works at His own timing, let me trust Him, after all when the committee prayed, we asked God to make this camp the way He wants it to be. God has made so much miracles for this camp, should I point my finger at God for one thing that He wouldn't do the way I want it?

The passage says, "...delay, if we accept it, can produce the quieter virtues - humility, patience, endurance and persistance - qualities that are often last to be learned." Well, aren't these virtues that I've been praying for? This would be a great training from God.

So God, I commit this camp into Your hands. My heart will be still and awaits Your timing and will. Would You work Your miracles again? If You are willing, fill up the camp, for my heart is troubled. But above all, may Your will be done.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 5. Project Kwam Wang - Sabaidee, Laos! I don't think I can ever say this enough: Laos is an unforgettable nation, mainly because of the unforgettable journey that God had taken me through. The initial idea was to paint a school building in Vientiane, but imagine our shock when the team saw a building with 2-walled rooms. Instead of complaining, the team quickly came together to lay bricks and cement. 5 days later, we have classrooms with 4 walls and whole school of happy children. The highlight of the trip came later. To catch our flight in Lua Prabang, we took a 6-hour bus ride into Vang Vien, a magical, spectacular heaven-on-earth. The 2-hour tubing experience to enjoy the peace and scenic view of Vang Vien mountain range, the lovely morning breakfast with a morning sunshine and green mountains. It was a great time of serenity and reflection. Then another 6 hours of bus ride across the mountain into Lua Prabang. Tasted on

Stand for Judas

By -
You know, there was once my sister told me when I tell her the story of "The Last Supper":"Yer! Why Judas Iscariot so bad one? Betray Jesus ( with a kiss )!" I did not answer her question, I did not know how. I got the answer lately, the thinking somehow struck my mind. Some people might say Judas is bad , taken over by devil. But I think he is quite a brave man actually. If he did not sell Jesus out, Jesus could not carry out His Father's plan. He was actually carrying out his mission that God gave him. And yet, after accomplishing his mission, he hung himself. Think about it, will you kill yourself after accomplishing a mission or successfully completed an important job? Well, even if I throw a knife to you and ask you to cut yourself would need huge courage ( Mrs. Ramani did this experiment before and I had seen it myself, even I would not cut myself ), prove me wrong! Not to say to praise him for selling the Son of Man out, but he deserves our little re

Heavenly Disconnected

We were all happily chit-chatting (or yelling) at grandma’s house. My second aunt suggested that we go to one of her cousin’s house to visit them but unfortunately the cousin wasn’t at home so we had to cancel it. Then I suggested to visit my youngest aunt’s house with the urge to play some mahjong. My intention was to play only, I did not intend to involve money. We drove there in 3 separate cars with me fetching my sister only. As we reached there we got everything ready, the mahjong table, chairs and of course, the mahjong. I couldn’t wait for my elder cousin to come and join me for a 3-Players Cantonese Mahjong. Just to make it fun, I (while being a Christian) suggested to involve money. This is where the problem starts. I feel pride arise. Holy Spirit was prompting me not to play with money, in fact, the mahjong at all. But I ignored it on purpose but seek selfish desire for pleasure and greed. I won around RM10 with starting fund RM13. But I also get the sense of guilt.
