Reflection

Sabbath gives us time to reflect. Reflecting in the presence of GOD is different from the normal reflection. Reflecting in the presence of GOD calls for us to reflect in the light of HIS Word and HIS Wisdom eg seeing our experience through HIS lens.

Do you see life as full of stumbling blocks or stepping stones? In Christ, every experiences can become a stepping stone in our journey to become more Christ-like.
Thus, there is a need for us to pause and to reflect, without which we cannot see GOD's hand at work in our lives.
Let the presence of GOD tutor us to see HIM in all the experiences we go through.

The Road To Intimacy With GOD

"O GOD! Thou hast made us for thyself and our souls are restless, searching, til they find their rest inThee" - St. Augustine

Preparation of Heart : "Be Still, and know that I am GOD ......." (Psalm 46:10)

Obstacles to Cross : External Distractions & Internal Chaos
Identify source and remove any encumbrances blocking your way (Hebrews 12:1)

Pathways you must take : Confession of Sin (1 John 1:9) Forgiveness (Colossians 3:12,13)
Forgetting (Philippians 3:13,14)

Direction & Focus : "Fixing your eyes upon JESUS, the author and perfecter of our faith ....." (Hebrews 12:2)

Food for the Journey : Word of GOD. Chew on it - Remember the lesson from the cow?

Motivation to Keep you going : JESUS, your joy and Reward!
"The condition of lostness is not the same as the outcome to which it leads. We're not lost because we are going to wind up in the wrong place. We're going to wind up in the wrong place because we're lost" (Dallas Willard)

Lunar New Year Special

Lunar New Year is and has always been a boring, mandane and routine affair for me except the one i had two years ago.

This year's Lunar New Year will be no different from the past so i have to try to make full use of the day instead of just staying at home sleeping and watching television the whole day. Have planned something meaningful, hope it will come true.

Second day will be the usual going to visit my 2 aunties in the afternoon. If i have not enough time to complete my undertakings on the first day, i can still make use of the second day eg morning to do it

If 'this' proves to be a success, i shall try to do it for every Lunar New Year.

Cereal

A new study shows that one of the simplest ways to live a healthier life is to add a bowl of whole grain cereal to your daily diet.
They say that people who do this is 20% less likely to die from heart disease or develop other diseases such as cancer or diabetes.

The study found that this was true even for people who indulge in high risk behaviour such as smoking and drinking alcohol or eating foods high in cholesterol.
Of course, it is no excuse for unhealthy habits, but it shows just how critical whole grains are to our diet.
But not all cereals that claim to be good for you passed the test.

A lot are made from refined grains or have a good deal of added sugar, and those did not get the same results as the whole grained ones.
Look for cereals that are low in sugar and made only from whole grains or wheat.
Just a bowl a day can go a long way towards a healthier life.

Home

There was a small happening at home this week.
Thank GOD for HIS grace and mercy that all went well and there is no cause for concern.

Thank you LORD

D's

Early delight in hearing GOD's voice is HIS grace to propel us towards seeking HIM. Yet our discipline to press in to seek HIM is our assurance of continuing delight. towards experiencing the depths in Christ.

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart". (Jeremiah 29:13)

As we reached this point, it is so important to know that delight is a promise and eventual certainty. But the only way there, is for us to develop discipline to press in.

Delight drives us to develop Discipline.
Descipline drives us to seek breakthrough to the next delight.

Child of GOD, let's dig in further whenever we feel like giving up, so that we will add self control and perseverance to our character.

Guest

Have some special guests in the shop today. One of them (Japanese gal) comes from my supplier's head office in Japan while the other is a Japanese station in Singapore and a local.
Due to their visit, i have beeen spending the past couple of days cleaning and packing the instruments, books .........in the shop.
They don't come at a better time as i can used this opportunity to do some spring cleaning for the coming Lunar New Year.

Mine is the only school cum shop the guests were visiting besides 2 mega shops. Oh, the Japanese gal speaks little english so her counterpart was here to also translate to her.
