Cast Down but Unconquered

2 Cor 4:7-15

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—

always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

So then death is working in us, but life in you.

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,

knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God."

Sab is sadz...

Just after hearing the most amazing FIR testimony, this had to happen...

Chicken and Duck Talk

Recently I overheard 2 interesting conversations:

Scenario #1
Mum: see the guy there, he's dead already.
Dad: ya I know, do you have to say it every time you see this advertisement? think it's the 3rd time you're telling me already.
Mum: oh is it? he died young la.
{tv at this point shows the birth and death year of the guy: 1960-2006}
Mum: wow... he died so young. 40plus or 50 i think.
Dad: oh really, how old? 46?
Mum: i think 56.
Dad: no la, younger i think.
Mum: is it? I saw 1990 - 2006 eh.
Dad: huh? where got so young? 1950 - 2006 right? so should be 46.
Mum: yes la, 1960 - 2006.
{takes out a calculator to count}
Mum: oh... 46 years old. so wasted.

While listening to them, I cannot help but laugh out loud!!!! They were talking about all different things to each other at every single sentence, yet they seem to understand each other perfectly?

Scenario #2
A: oh hello, going to the market?
B: yes... *smiles*
A: so which stall do you usually buy your prawns from? the 1st or the middle one?
B: oh, i usually buy from the last stall. cos they plant it themselves do you know that?
A: oh yes yes... eh plant?
A: then what about prawns?
B: *silence*
A: the prawns from the 1st stall are very expensive you know?
B: hmm....
{life door opens at this point}
A: bye...

Strange how people can hold conversations like that... Makes me REALLY think if I'm really understanding what others are talking about...

F.I.R.

We had the privilege of having F.I.R. with us over the weekend.

They were simply amazing... They attend church activities 6 times a week! And on the remaining day, they spend time with their friends to reachout to them.

*wide-eye amazed*

I tried to take pictures of them but due to the lousy resolution and un-zoomable hp camera of mine, the pictures look kinda pathetic. I will try to upload them if they look decent after I transfer them from my hp into my laptop.

But one thing that Ah-Qing said struck me.

He says that although after being a Christian, it may seem that we have "lost" our freedom and our time. But in the midst of that disciplined lifestyle, we then find true freedom and make better use of our time which we would have normally wasted away to accomplish more things.

So amazing to hear that from someone that just got saved about a year ago, while long-time believers still seem to struggle with this oh-so-often.

The AMAZING God we serve! =)

My Daily Cuppa

LC insists that I do not need to pay for my daily coffee cos she was the one who told Somu to buy to begin with. I'm just sharing what she cannot finish.

She's soooooooooooo nice. =)

I will remember to pray for her son who's in the hospital now due to high fever...

ARGH.

I've got to stop fueling my addiction for Korean Dramas.

A side of me really wants to watch it. While it's quite depressing to watch cos it reminds me of something...

*God, help me!*

I bumped into the person I saw in my dream the other day.

Sometimes life is so strange.
