Wow… year 2006 went by so fast and now it is already entering the 3rd week of 07. That was really fast. Hmm….. year 06 was a year of ups and downs for me. Year of testing, year of realisation of many things in terms of relationship.

After being Christian for so many years, year 06 was a year of many trials and I realised how important to be able to cling on to Jesus when facing one. At the tail end of 06, I began to realise who are friends and who are not. As what I have written at my other posting, I began to realise that throughout my younger years, I have been taken for granted. People whom I thought was friends are no longer close with me. I meant friends or peers that is around my age. It hurts but yet year ‘06 is a year that I began to know that the ultimate friend that I should be close with is non other than my Lord Jesus. … ok to be continued.

Whoah!!! Good questions eh? Where is the GOD that we, you or everyone reading this is are looking for when it hurts? Think about it! Will be back on this more…….

OK back again…..so where do we look for? Or what is the thing that we always take to replace that hurt or trying to cover that hurt? Drugs, sex, anger, mat rempit….? SO where, what? Think about it again…will be back.

Well let me think of this question first…then I come back to you ok, dear readers?

Well I have thought of this question over and over again but still haven’t come to a conclusion. Why because sometimes being too nice or easy-going kinda person you tend to help irregardless of what the outcome is. True? Maybe not… God has given us the BRAIN to differentiate whether you are taken for granted or being used. But still there is a rationale that we as Christian, we should lend a helping hand and when we don’t we felt uneasy (hey, God give us BRAIN remember…. logic to think what is right and what is wrong, duh). So if we say NO sometimes and we felt uneasy, then I strongly believe that this thought is not from God. But this does not mean that we say NO all the time. Not good. Hahaha…..

Well, whatever it is, the it is still up to you how you think and what you think. If the thought of being taken for granted or being used comes into your mind, rebuke it and give it to God. He knows what we are going through… so whatever we do, just don’t let our ways conform to the ways of the world.

ROMANS 12:1-2……………1Therefore, I urge you,
brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual^[a] act of worship. 2Do
not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve
what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I really thank God that I am a Liverpool fan. Not because they are a legend in the soccer world which they are and still going strong but it is the motto of the club that draws me more to supporting them nowadays. Though they are not as strong as the time of Kenny Daglish or even Kevin Keegan or Ian Rush but they have something that is the factor. The togetherness in the team even through crisis that is even in the fan as a whole..how they sing and cheer even when the team is down with a goal.

Haha……that is just a something that just connect to what I am writing here. As you can see of my title…YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE. This is the title of the song that Poing of Grace is singing which I have it in my Walkman phone. This song struck me and reminded me that He is with me all this while that I will never walk alone. Never. People as in friends some of them even closest to you, relatives, things, businesses CAN FAIL you but Jesus will never, never fail you. Friends can reject you by even not returning your smses, not even reply IM messages (for example, not that I went through it, haha) … people didn’t give you business…all this can fail you but I know, I am not walking alone in this world, He is walking beside me. As you can remember someone started the poem on footprint… it is very true.. Jesus does not walk with us but He sometimes or most of the time carries us through our difficult times if we open our mouth and ask Him….

As I am writing this, He is assuring me that I have not to worry about my future as in business. He is blessing and this will be at His time and when it comes, I know that my 2 hands will not be able to withstand this blessings but to bless others. God help me.

Hey people out there, you may fail that sometimes people don’t understand how or what you went through or feel but just be assured that He does. I would like to bless you with this… "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."-Matt 11:28 and "…..God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."-Heb 13:4-6.

This is something that I am learning and being assured of. Lord give me the peace that I needed. Amen

Below is the lyrics of the song…You will never walk alone

Along life’s road
There will be sunshine and rain
Roses and thorns, laughter and pain
And ‘cross the miles
You will face mountains so steep
Deserts so long and valleys so deep
Sometimes the Journey’s gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember
I want you to know

(Chorus)
You will never walk alone
As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
You may feel you’re far from home
But home is where He is
And he’ll be there down every road
You will never walk alone
The path will wind
And you will find wonders and fears
Labors of love and a few falling tears
Across the years
There will be some twists and turns
Mistakes to make and lessons to learn
Sometimes the journey’s gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember where ever you may

(Repeat Chorus)

Jesus knows your joy, Jesus knows your need
He will go the distance with you faithfully

(Repeat Chorus

This is to the guys and girls out there who love eggs. Hehe.

Ok ok…it is not about CAP kind of blog of whether egg is good for health or not if consume too much blablabla. We were on the way back (Ps Ed, my 2 sis and myself) from dinner after gym. Somehow forgotten about how we end up talking about food and egg. So Ps Ed was talking about how many he has eaten before in one day when he is younger and talking about egg white is better. Then my sis commented about egg yoke is nicer compares to egg white because it is tasteless. And somehow forgotten who .. I think it is Ps Ed who says that yea egg yoke is nicer but high on cholesterol.

As I was sitting at the back, it hit me. God reveals again as a reminder to me through this simple illustration of eating eggs. Egg white is tasteless compares to egg yoke…. so what is the thing that God reveals? In life as a Christian, even it is written in the Bible that it is fun when it comes to sinning as we like eating the egg yoke. It is nice and tasty but at the end of the days it is not good for our health. Sinning ruins our relationship with God and makes us filthy and harder to come to God unless we are cleanse again. So as you can see, sometimes things that we thought it is dull, boring for eg to some reading the Bible… it is actually something that edifies our soul.

To be continued.

Let me start by saying this. Frontliners who didn’t manage to go to the hike…too bad, you all missed it. HAHAHA!………this is for now. To be continued…..

Continuing… What a hike that we had. We started quite late due to someone being late because of late night and cannot wake up on time. Anyway, I am not talking about that person. So finally he came and we met somewhere near the old Lai Lai or Hye Keat Estate. Can say that everyone is excited and off we go … walking towards Kek Lok Si and started hiking up towards the Dam. What a time I had with God.. listening to Praise and Worship songs hiking up.

Finally the actual part of the hike started at the dam. What a time we had and thats only like a quarter way towards Tiger Hill. Took us another 2-3 hours to reach the top. Anyway, we had fun walking ups and downs and viola finally we reached Tiger Hills. By the way, someone punctured but he managed to slowly crawl uplah. Stopped for lunch and then we started our journey but first we must stop at the station for ice kacang. A must for some of us in the team. Hehe.

After that, the journey is all the way down and a few ups. Quite tiring though but somehow we manage to have fun especially me because I somehow likes to stay behind as the anchor man … pushing the people to persevere the tortureous track. On the way down, saw King Yi one the train…waves to him and we continued our journey again.

Along the way down, we are somehow splitted into 2 groups. And as we walked someone commented….how come we are walking up when the leader says that the tracks is all the way down. And there is one part which is quite steep and we needed the aid of ropes to go down.

Well to cut the long story short, I had a good time being in the nature looking and enjoying God’s creations.

There are a few lessons to draw from this hike. In life, we may face a lot of obstacles for eg. no stamina to hike… taught us that we need to be prepared and to have the perseverance to go through this obstacles. God allows obstacles to test us and to see where we put our faith in. Whether in the worldly stuffs or God. 2nd lesson….. as we hike there is always going uphills and downhills. As we became Christians, God didn’t tell us that He has promised us life full of beds of roses. But as we face the hills, His grace is sufficient for us to go through it with victory. So far till here….to be continued again.

Wow…….I am blogging. HAHA. Never knew that I blog cause all this while I don’t like blogging because I am an ‘action’-based person. I am a man with few words when it comes to written or even typed words.

Well as what you can see the title of this blog. Letting go and letting God. It is something that every Christian has to learn to do. Whether it is big or small. A lot of you may ask, what kind of things to let go? Everything that displeased God… ah sin comes to mind. Guessed that’s what you are thinking. There are more to that and I am glad that God reminded me through someone about what has happen to my life all this while for the past 5 years.

I was thinking to myself also for quite a number myself..why haven’t I experienced breakthrough. Why am I always in a box? Experiencing the same old things to an extend that I find myself like a pond with stale water. God has been pouring but because of what is clouding my mind for the past 5 years or so, it is not flowing out to bless people.

I knew that God has a big plan for me. The ministry that God has for me is very unique for me. It may sound the same like others but I guessed the ministry that God has for me basically deals with the strength that I has. And I am not using it to the fullest for the glory of His Kingdom.

So because of this timely reminder, I knew I had to let go. It’s time. I had wasted quite a number years of my life pursuing what I felt that’s worth it which is displeasing to God. I am not doing what God wants and He has to let me learn it again the hard ways.

Anyway, a lot of you who might happen to read my blog, you would be asking what is this fella letting go. Well don’t have to ask me what is it. I am writing this to encourage you that sometimes, we are clouded by what we think is beneficial to our lives but in turn it actually hinder our walk with the Almighty.

Oklah…guessed I have written too much for a person like me. I can be chiong hei (long-winded) in real life but never knew that I can write so long. HAHAHA…adios.

Continuation….

Phew, finally … and this is really finally …… ‘lega’-ness came into my mind. As what the bible says, the truth will set you free and when you are set free… you are free indeed. That’s how I feel when I gotta know of the truth behind certain things or you would say after certain observation. And when you come to face the wall and when you know that the truth is you cannot go through the wall, take a U-turn and take another route…which is better!
Hahaha…arigato to this friend who has enlighten me.
