Jane Talks!

After doing some calculations, i realised that approx. 25% of my time is spend working, about 34% of my time sleeping and the rest of the 41% on personal pleasure. Yup, that seems to be right. ANyway, i have decided to give away a certain amount of my 41% to the Kingdom of God once i get into ministry.

Pastor Kong preached a great message last sunday which made me think alot. Indeed we should really make sure of our time during our work, not just to earn $ but to be a impact to those people that we see almost 1/3 of our day. It also made me reflect on my work attitudes and to be a spirit of excellence even on the simplest task given. Many of us have no problem providing great service to our ministry but when it comes to the things of the world, our minds suddenly went blank and slow. No reason and explaination. Maybe is because we hate what we do and do what we hate. So just a tiny advice, choose a job that you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. Here top 10 suggestions…

TOP 10 WAYS TO BE HAPPY AT WORK:-

10. Decor your desk with lovely stuff toys and nice meaningful pictures. A great way to start your day seeing things that you love.

9. Make a decision and tell yourself that this day will be awesome and is not because it is a friday.

8. Start your day with an aim and finish it before your day ends. You will feel more fulfilling.

7. Be like the psychotic penguins in Madagascar, turn to your collegues and tell yourself: "Smile and wave **Your Name**, Smile and wave…"

6. Eat MacDonald’s big breakfast.

5. Listening to music. Hearing melody tunes all day helps to lighten mood and relief stress.

4. MSNing.. (Don’t tell me you don’t do that) Is not just talking nonsense to your friends but a means to encourage, strengthen and inspire each other to do better.

3. Choosing to do and learn something new everyday. People are bored with work because they have stopped learning.

2. Slap yourself in the face and say "Stop giving excuses!!! Show me results!!" (adopted once again by Psycotic Penguins)

1. Say a little prayer to God, asking Him for wisdom and strength before you start work. It works because our God is faithful.

This week is a starting of a brand new month of June and time really passes by very fast, half of 2005 is already gone and passed us by. Every year, esp between the period of June to August, i will always experience a change in my life. Not sure why, is like a season in my life. Just like the seasons in the natural, summer, spring, winter and autumn. Hope you understand what i am talking about.

This coming week, i am going over to my new CG and yes, that is the season of change that i am talking about. I don’t know what to expect but i hope that things will start to happen for me over there. I was watching my SOT graduation DVD yesterday, well the fact that i looked stiff in the video, i was reminded why i do the things that i do last time. The reason i sacrifice. The reason i fight. The reason i live.

Truth is, everyone of us go through dry periods in our life, sometimes wondering what are we exactly doing or waiting for. Fact is every moment in our life, there is a purpose and meaning in it even when times when you don’t understand, God has a purpose for it. God is more concerned in our character than in our comfort. One time, i told God that i have reached the ultimate of my faith. I must admit i was really silly and prob dumb to tell God that thats why i am at the stage where i am now. Hint* Never tell God that you have reached the peak in your faith or else, He will prove you wrong. Oh well, just want to encourage you if you are in the stage as i am, in the season of tarrying and windows of opportunity are closed at you, don’t give up!! Rejoice and be glad, for the Lord is with you.

Everytime when i am discouraged, i take out my guitar and worship….

It used to be darkness… without You
I lived my life in blindness
But now i’m found

I’ll Sing….. Sing I Love you so….
I’ll sing… Because the world can’t take away Your love

Found me in weakness
Broken….
You came to me in Kindness
and Now i live

I give my life for you Lord
For all you’ve done

There is always faith, hope and love in the presence of our Father. Seek Him and you’ll know that whatever that you are going through now is all worth the trouble.

***************************************************************************************************

Yesterday, i was alittle irritated over a series of things that i saw in regards to the behaviour of man. If you are a man reading this, no offense….Just want to say "WAKE UP YOUR IDEA!! " *Cough Excuse me

First of all, i saw a lady crying while talking on the phone. Neitherless to say, she is quarreling with her BF. Also, when i was watching TV, the drama seriel shows the guy pushing a pregnant lady!! How can u push a pregnant lady?? That is the greatest sin that one could ever commit!! How dare he… Then even reading the newspapers talks about perverts going to Cambodia to have *** with young gals as young as 8???? Whats with the G-string flasher?? What in the world is going on?? Whats wrong with the guys nowadays?? They are either not a gentleman or they are some pervertic manic.

Truth is Man was created in the likeness of God. Sad to say many have fallen short of the Glory of God. Many have turned selfish, lustful and corrupt in their ways and thoughts. I remembered when i was a younger christian, there were Manhood conferences with the late Pst Edwin Cole. Brothers will help sisters carry bags, be the ones that brave under the sun to queue up to get into church and the ones that offer to serve the sisters for food etc. Nowadays, sisters are the ones queuing up, verbally abused by nonsense comments from guys and not served in the way that they should.

Come mon, Christian brothers!! You are called to be the salt and light of the world. When guys in the world are corrupt and huge perverts, you should raise up to the occasion as examples of what man should be. Gentleman, Servanthood, caring, intergrity, pure, Sensitive, godly. Not ones that makes gals cry all the time. Pursue what God had made you in the 1st place. Always think, "Would God have behaved this way??

So don’t say i never teach you anything, here is 10 ways:-

TOP 10 MANLY WAYS ANY GUY SHOULD ADOPT:-

10. Think before you speak to a lady. Don’t talk to us as though you are talking to your guy friends.

9. Always seek to protect the ladies, walk behind or with them and not infront of them.

8. Offer to serve her. E.g Carry bags, buy food, open the door

7. Put down the X-box controller(Childish things) and reach for the Bible(Pursue godliness).

6. Seek to compliment and not put down.

5. Desire to give and not take. Remember: The more expensive the better.

4. Start queuing up in church. Don’t always let the sisters do the job.

3. Seek to be pure and not pervertic.

2. Learn to honor your mum, your grandma, your sisters, your aunties, your female CGL etc

1. Having the likeness of Christ. The greatest example to MAN-kind.

Man, i tell you, it is not good to be sick. As i lay helplessly and coughing profusely on my bed, i stare and wondered how did it happen. Then i blamed myself for not having better body resistance to conquer the virus that sick people were spreading around me.

Argh! i just don’t like to be sick. I turn into some form of cave person whereby my hair gets so out of place, my lips red and swollen and my whole body becomes hunchback of notre dame as i find strength to carry myself around. YEah, i am really terrifying to look at. Don’t say i didn’t warn you.

Alright, so for my Top 10 today, i shall write on how to prevent yourself from falling sick.

TOP 10 WAYS TO PREVENT YOURSELF FROM FALLING SICK:-

10. Cover yourself like an Arab esp. towards people that are sick around you.

9. Exercise regularly for at least 3 times a week.

8. Stuff down tons of vitamins daily.

7. Having tons of sleep at least 8 hours every day. No more late night chatting!

6. Having a camel mindset, drink loads of water.

5. Avoid heaty and oily food, not good for your body and prob. waistline.

4. Reciting the verse "No weapon formed against me shall prosper.. "

3. Skip* again.

2. Pray for good health, ask the Lord to guard your body from sicknesses.

1. Telling yourself cave woman/man look is out of fashion.

Yesterday wasn’t blog day cos my mind was blocked. Blocked blog… interesting. Anyway, i decided to write on *sheep today after Yvonne’s testimonial for me. Yvonne if you are reading this, thanks for unclogging my mind.

Truth is, all of us started out to be lost sheep. Lost in direction, lost in vision and prob for some of us, lost in the mind. Thank God for our heavenly Father who found us and brought us into His kingdom. Ladies and gentleman, never take for granted this fact cos life without God only means life back in Egypt, in bondage and prob whipped up left-right-center by the world.

I always imagine that Jesus is our Shepherd, we, of course are sheep(some white and some black) and then the dog that keeps barking at the sheep are the CGLs. No offense to the leaders, i am not calling you a dog. However, your barking and screaming does make us walk in the right direction that the Shepherd wants us to go. Way to go…

Calling all sheep out there, let’s never desire to remain as sheep forever. Amongst the sheep, there are baby sheep, junior sheep and senior sheep. Baby Baa Baa, continue to be fed with milk and grow in the Lord. Junior Sheep, start observing the senior sheep and start serving. Senior Sheep, be armorbearers of your leaders, take care of the younger sheep and be led by the shepherd without having the leader to bark at you. There is also in the midst black sheep hovering around to corrupt and blacken other sheep. (Muahahahaha…) Ehem, yup, that will not be me. *cough*

So Baa Baa…

Though we used to be blur and lost,

But now that we are found by the Lord,

Let’s continue to walk with Him,

and not return to our smelly past,

before you know it,

You will stand righteous and glorious

in the Heavenly Kingdom.

Oh well, i give up on persuading people to write comments, i was so desperate i wrote one for myself. Is ok, don’t bother anymore, doesn’t matter to me now cos for some reason, i know my blog entries do make people laugh and thats all it matters. (Well, at least i know for the case for you, Mich)

Recently, i got to find out that i am in the special category of a friend who only treats certain individual as royalty in her life. I am so flattered cos i never knew that i meant so much to her. <blush> For one moment, i was alittle over the top and arrogant over my position (Childish woman you) I used to think that i was only in that royalty position in Mich’s life but now having two royalty positions makes me feel…. royal.. hahah… what in the world am i talking about?

Oh well, probably is because these 2 friends of mine are still single, i believe when they found Mr Right, i will be kindly escorted and voted out of the tribe. is alright, i prepared myself for times as this. Meanwhile, one should never take one’s friend for granted, and neither should you abuse the friendships that you have around you. REmember, think royal and be royal to your friends. At least for my case, i will.

Finally oh finally… someone has written to me not just 1 comment but 2! Alright, the other comment is quite nonsense, only involves the word ‘testing’. Thanks Mich, i can always count on you for support and yeah.. nonsense stuff. Haha…

Speaking of Mich… isn’t she a wonderful person? Alright, some of you actually think she is more than that. YOu know who you are. Yeah.. You.. you and YOU! Ehem.. Anyway, she is only person that i can talk on the phone for more than 3 hours and never get bored or even spend your whole day with her and still think is not enough. Our conversations are always entertaining and prob more to the imaginary side of impossibility in the real world but a possibility in our own world. Yeah… you don’t want to get inside it. (-_-)

Really a great and awesome catch for the guys out there but too bad she is on vow so get your dirty paws off her… <cough> excuse me… what else? what else? ok, thats about it. Don’t tell you so much, u go figure out yourself. But one thing i can say that our friendship is pretty tight, even stronger than super glue.. (Lame) cos she doesn’t mind my awful rough voice when i sing or that i prefer sweet popcorn(Ok, thats not a reason) Also the fact that we went thru hard times together before and she sticks by me no matter rain<wink> or shine. Starting to feel a little something huh?? Jealously juices in you starting to bubble up…

Mich, if you are reading this, just want to thank you for your friendship and Agape love..<wink> hahaha.. Members of W300, if you are reading this, you have an awesome leader, better treat her well and be good… <cough> excuse me. Guys interested in Mich, if you are reading this, get your dirty paws off her… she is on vow. Come back only on 1st Jan 2006.

If you were there in the conference yesterday night, let me tell you, you were there for a reason. Those of you who are not there, you have missed something HUGE! BIG TIME! For one thing, many people turned up and by 6.50pm, people were shoved upstairs including myself. Then hundreds of people being turned away from coming to the meeting. It was truely a move of God, though i was not feeling too well, but i knew in my heart that i had to go to church somehow or another and i must say that was the greatest decision that i’ve made this year.

I don’t know about you, but yesterday was a historic night for the church. As all the pastors were all standing on the stage, i felt deeply in my heart that it was a closure of an era and an opening of another. The promise that God made to Pst Kong finally came to pass after a long but adventurous journey for the last 15 years. Seeing the man and woman of God tearing infront of the whole congregation showed leadership and how much sacrifice they have gone through for the promises of God in their lives to come to pass. They are really great pastors and examples of what leadership should be like for the house of God. I felt a closure in my Spirit and i believe that God is going to bring the church into the new flow, a new level, a new beginning.

I don’t know about you, but i am excited about what Pst Kong is going to tell the church in another 2 weeks. 15 years have finally passed, many people have came and gone, but we are still in church for a reason. We are ones that choose to stay when everyone left.  We choose to continue to fight, when the rest choose to retreat.  We choose to believe GOd when others choose not to. So let’s raise up people, i believe that we can do something great for God in the new era that God is going to place in the church. Let’s continue to pray for the church and ourselves that we can be ready to take our position in the Kingdom of God.

TOP 10 WAYS TO READY FOR YOUR POSITION IN GOD’S KINGDOM:-

10. Be serious and grow up. Put away childish things.

9. Be strong in prayer. Great things happen when people start to pray.

8. Fill your mind with the word of God.

7. Be in ministry to serve God and His people. Great preparation for your future destiny.

6. Increasing your committment level to God and His church.

5. Desire for discipleship and training by your leaders. Going to Bible school is also a wise choice.

4. Invest and take time to grow the talents on which God has placed in you.

3. Make a decision to input intergrity and purity in your life.

2. Be filled with the Holy SPirit and learn to flow with God.

1. Loving God more and more everyday. The longer you are with God, the deeper the love that you have for Him. Also, it is the love that you have for God that you are able to surpass your difficulties and trials because love covers.
