Jump start your dreams

What is the dream that God's placed in your heart? I am not asking if you have one, I already know it is there because God gives all of us dreams.


I have seen people do all kinds of things to their dreams. Some people bury them so deep in their hearts in order to protect them from the criticism of others. Some people set them out of sight so they do not have to think about them anymore. And some people finally just give up on their dreams because it hurts too much to hold on.


If your dream needs a jump-start, there are two things I want you to remember. First, you need to get a vision that is clear. And second, you must keep your vision in front of you at all times.


But having a vision does not mean that it will instantly appear. God is as interested in the process of vision as He is in the end result.


The apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:11-13 that he had learned how to be content and satisfied to the point where he was not disturbed by whatever state he was in. In other words, he never allowed himself to get upset where he was at the moment, he was always looking forward to where he could be.


That means you, like Paul, need to find a balance between contentment and ambition. Here is the key: learn to enjoy where you are on the way to where you are going.


When you have a dream or a vision, you have to keep it in front of you. If it helps, write it down. And remember, God will help you live the dream He has given to you, step-by-step, one day at a time.


Prayer starter: Jesus, even though I do not always feel like it and life tries to get me to quit, I believe You have a great plan for my life. I choose to trust You to help me live the dream You have given me more than I trust my circumstances.

Proverbs 29:18

Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; 

but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction.

How to experience His presence in your everyday life?

Life is busy and filled with distractions. It is so easy to get caught up in our cares, errands and worries that we lose sight of what matters most.


There is an interesting little story at the end of Luke chapter two about when Mary and Joseph took Jesus to Jerusalem for Passover when He was twelve years old. After the festival was over, they left to go home, supposing He was with them.


I wonder how many times we suppose God is with us when we have wandered off to do our own thing?


Now here is the interesting part. Mary and Joseph had traveled a day's journey before they realized Jesus was not them and then it took 3 days to find Him. Three days! The massage here is that it is easier to lose that special presence of God than it is to get back once we have lost it.


We need to be careful to remain in the presence of God. When we do, we make God feel at home in our hearts.


This simply starts with being obedient to His word. A commitment to turn from behaviour that offends God is the number one sign of spiritual maturity. It shows you care about what He thinks.


That means you choose to be generous towards others, you learn to forgive, let go of your offenses and live in peace. When we choose to be intentional with our words, giving thanks to God and lifting up others, we will feel connected to God all throughout the day.


Prayer starter: Father, thank you for making Your home in my heart. I need Your presence today, Lord. Help me to honor You with my thoughts and my words and to be a blessing to those around me.

John 14:23

Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." 

这个世界怎么了？

日历才刚刚换上新衣服不久，诗巫就发生了惨局。这场凶杀案连80岁的老婆婆和小孩子都不放过。不管事情背后的真相是什么，都想问一句这个世界到底怎么了？


这个世界的惨局可以说是一档接着一档，人心似乎真的慢慢都被钱财和势力侵蚀了。一直以来都相信，爱能改变世界。

新的一年开始，心中没有太多的感慨。也许心里住的那位小孩已经长大了，以往的那份疯狂似乎慢慢淡稀了；心中多了一份责任；厚了一层执着；更是对家多了一个锁头。那份责任，执着，挂念我不在乎，但对于那渐渐失去的热心与关怀别人的心，我自惭，感觉好对不起朋友们。


以往，我都不会放过朋友的生日，一过12点一定送上祝福。但自从出国以来，这份“工作”也跟着收工了，就因为不喜欢在fb上留言（太多人作一样的事了）。


新的一年，我要找回我的那份斗志，那份热心，更要改掉三分钟热度的态度。

忘掉背后，努力面前！

用马来西亚的天气来说爱你

经过漫长的等待，终于归回了这炎热又熟悉的国土。


回到家，当然妈妈煮的菜特别好吃，妈妈洗的衣服比较干净且不会起毛。爸爸那可爱的驾驶技术仍然没变，爸爸那爱鸡爱孩子的心也依然照旧。哥哥们照样爱嘲笑我肥我大只（我不承认啦！！）。家依然的温暖，充满人情。


一回到家，就好不客气的吃了干盘面，云吞，榴莲等等 :P 诗巫多了购物广场，餐馆，双程路，就连飞机场都在扩建。



哪里有爱，哪里有牵挂，不舍得，那就是家。 ---刘墉

原来。。。

好久没有无所事事的躺在床上望着天，天空再暗，在路灯的照射下，也显得明亮许多。发呆了许久，隐约中才看到一颗星星。


就算眼前看到的是尽头，可是不走近，就不会发现原来前方的路是圆的。


一直很喜欢星星。。。
它不在乎有没有人看到，它仍然坚守着任务不偷懒的照射。它不管太阳有多强烈，乌云有多厚，它仍然不厌其烦的发亮。纵使有时飞机和卫星会抢了它的风头，它仍大方的和它们一起发光。
