7 years and coutning!
Wow! Today I celebrate my 7th year as a disciple! Am grateful to God for all he has done for me! And I know there are more great things ahead! So here's a short poem dedicated to my 7 years of being a disciple!
"Seven years have gone past,
Seven seemed so oddly fast,
Seven never did I expect,
Seven the number I will never forget,
Seven days there are a week,
Seven more as we speak,
Seven seems so perfect to me,
Seven, and many more I expect to keep."

Journey's New Album!
Yes its out!! Finally! And I have to say, it sounds good! A good mix of new songs and old songs! Arnel who hails from the Philippines did pretty ok in this album. If u guys didn't know yet, Arnel was recruited by Journey thru YouTube when he was playing with the band Zoo.It took Journey weeks to convince that it wasn't a hoax! Ha ha ha..... If it were me, I would be skeptical too!
Anyway, one thing I can learn from this story is that in today's world, I guess people really trust each other anymore! Which is why I totally appreciated Vincent's sermon yesterday! Imagine what Radical Love can do to help this lost world. Its tough but if we just make the decision to imitate the radical love Jesus mentioned, it can go a really long way! Just a thought I wanna share. Hope it helps!

The Insignificant
I remember recently there was a sermon about being insignificant in the church and coincidentally I was introduced to watch this man, Paul Potts. He was a contestant on Britain's Got Talent 2007. Paul was an ordinary man working as a mobile phone sales assistant and was encouraged by his wife to take part in the competition as she thought his voice was awesome. Paul shared in one of the videos, he was insignificant, he was bullied in school last time, but one thing that he could fall back on was his voice! I was sooooo inspired by this guy's journey to success. Later Paul won the competition hands down and he went on to perform in front of the Queen, he appeared on Oprah, his debut album sold 2 million copies around the world and now he has consistent sell out shows in Las Vegas. Below are the videos of this insignificant one's journey to stardom. Just because he made a decision to come out of his comfort zone! Enjoy the vids and be inspired by this amazing man's voice!

One World, One Dream!
As I have been following some of the sport events happening these past few days, and yes I've seen some exciting ones!
It was only during the Singapore vs South Korea Women's Team Table Tennis Semi Final, which Singapore went on to win, that I noticed the billboards around the arena. The motto for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, "One World, One Dream"!
Well as I think about it, we as disciples also share 1 dream too! To make disciples of all nations! Here are just a few questions that may help us think deeper:
1. What's your motto as a Disciple?
2. What's the purpose of it all?
3. How am I going to achieve that dream?

Well, as we know all the athletes would reap riches in monetary form when they achieve a medal in such a huge event like the Olympics. Do we look and envy? Well, being human I do look in envy most of the times and that is something I should repent of. In fact we are already winners in God's eyes no matter what happens, of course that doesn't mean we have license to sin. We still have to finish the race strong!

Knocking On Heaven's Door
As the title says it. Was listening to one of my favourite bands and that being Guns N' Roses!
This occurred to me while listening to the song. What does it mean to knock on heaven's door?
I mean I can sort of imagine the majestic view of walking up this long flight of marble pearl white stairs and at the top sits a 2 sided door (Those you find in castles) so big and made up of the finest pine wood with the scent still fresh from the pine trees God created.
On the door there're 2 gigantic handles protruding out made out of metal unfounded by man as it sparkles along with the glistening majestic aura emitting out from behind those tiny gaps in between. Also next to the handles are door knockers.
Well imagine we get a chance to look at this scenario I painted out. These were the questions I will ask myself....
1. Should I knock?
2. Should I take a peek?
3. Should I just wait for someone to take notice of my presence?
Well....... What you guys do?
Somehow, these questions do mean differently in the way you answer them. I can sort of remember a scene from the movie Kungfu Panda, where Po was to pull his noodle cart up to the top of the temple where they were going to announce the new Dragon Warrior.
When going up the stairs, you're to leave everything behind, no regrets, nothing to hold you back so that you can climb the stairs.
When you get up top, the excitement in you should be beyond words! The part where Po was trying all ways to get into the temple was hilarious! Then again, how bout us as disciples then? Would we do everything in our power to get into those doors? Wouldn't we be knocking on the door all the way?
Then is it wrong to peek out of curiosity? Hmm..... Well in the modern world it is a crime! HAHAHA...... But I guess God has already let us peek into Heaven thru many ways. How he blesses us in our daily lives are probably little instances of what Heaven would be like behind those doors. No disappointments, no discouragements, all in all, basically God will always be there to back us up!
What about those who will just stand outside and wait? What do you think? Well, to me those who wait will miss out the chance. Sounds harsh but were there instances in your life where you just stood outside the door of your friend's house and not even ring the bell or knock? Did the door open? Did anyone from the house notice you? I think besides the neighbours seeing strange person and calling the security guard or the police, I doubt anyone form the house will ever notice you! So its important that we do the small things! Like the sermon on Sunday, never think that you're insignificant but do the small things for the impact will cause a ripple effect!
Just some random thoughts while de-stressing from doing my project. Hope it helps and feel free to just shout out your opinion in the shoutbox! =)
