真正好的事

蒙神的祝福，我们一家大小4口，连女佣5人，年初到现在都能平安的度过。

神对我们真正好， 祂祝福了我们有了这新家，也通过我的兄弟姐妹的祝福了我们，

我们也喜欢这家，感谢主，也住得平安！

感谢神的保守，医生说琦琦母女都平安健康，并说这星期五要让我们的小女儿出来见面了。

在此，愿祂更不间断的保守琦琦母女俩都能平安，健康和生产顺利。

感谢神！

迟来的祝福，父亲节快乐！

祝愿所有的父亲们，
父亲节快乐，愿上帝的祝福恩典永远追随着你！



我有多久沒有對你說我愛你 詞曲/演唱：羅文裕

記得小時後　在家巷子口　爸爸教我騎單車
發燒的時候　媽媽抱著我　燒退了　冰塊卻凍傷她的手
長大後　努力追求嚮往天空　沉默卻比話說的還多

我有多久沒有對你說我愛你　你卻愛我更勝你自己
你的白髮和眼角多了幾條魚　讓你孤單單怎麼忍心

舊舊的收音機　泛黃的老歌曲　刻畫著我虧欠的過去
抬頭看天上星　水中的倒影　回家的路有我陪著你

我有多久沒有對你說我愛你　你卻愛我更勝你自己
你的白髮和眼角多了幾條魚　讓你孤單單怎麼忍心
我有多久沒有對你說我愛你　讓你孤單單怎麼忍心

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

我们有多久没有对阿爸天父说“我爱你”了呢？
我们会不会因为自己的梦想，
选择走自己觉得对的道路，
选择去实现自己的理想梦想，
而忘了祷告寻求，
忘了原来还有一位爱我们的上帝在默默的等候我们回家呢？？

复活节来了！

来临星期日就是我们庆祝耶稣复活的日子。

我要挑战我自己，给自己15分钟时间，安静的，什么都不做，单单的来思想关于耶稣复活前后的事.

I think it's not a bad idea, for me to settle down, it maybe easy to "freeze" body movement, but it's not easy to try fill our thoughts with God's things for 15 minutes for me, esp. without the help of music or worship, just give thanks and thinking of Him.

I admire some brother sisters that could easily do this... Praise God.

but one way I figured can help me do this, is to pray in the spirit (i.e. pray in tongue), that helps me focus on Him.

DO try this at home :- )

Invite God to the home, not only the house

Thank God the 3rd Saturday of Mar-2010, we have officially moved into our house in Jalan B7. God has been good because it is not easy to lower our renovation cost without His intervention. He blessed me with many.

The house is not perfect, some leakage here and there still, haven't been settled but we still like the house. Not only because it's a bigger place for a bigger family now, but more importantly every inch of our own effort from concept, execution to reality... It's like a dream come true in certain extend :-P

The other day our previous landlord said Bukit Mas has brought us many blessing and we have 3 children since we stay, and I thought it's true. God uses a good place to bless His people, and I believe we are blessed because we invite Him to not only the house, but also to the home.

Therefore, I believe our new place of stay will continue to prosper us and be blessed by God, because the very same wonderful and merciful God is with us, whichever place we stay.

Same goes to Metro, I believe we will be blessed not because we are in the bigger hall or place, but the very same God that dwells with His people wherever we moved.

Glory to His name ! and Thankful :- )

热忱

有时候我真的在想，我失去了写部落格的热忱吗？当初的热忱是冲动吗？为什么现在就完全没有“写”的冲动了呢？难道真的是因为自己觉得没人看了，灰心了吗？

热忱（Enthusiasm）在希腊字源中意思为“神在其中”（God Within），当我们离开了神，我们就失去了热忱。很多时候我们对一件事情失去了当初的热忱，对自己目前所服事的岗位开始有不满，有埋怨，原因无它，就只因为我们已经渐渐的远离了神。

God has no problem blessing us

I may have read it many times, thought about it many times, or taught it to someone, or even experienced it many times, but some how it is still difficult for me to TRUST that our God is a God of many blessings, no God of stingy. I guess I tried hard to understand God, but still does it from a human way.

When I give away something that I have, then I would have less in my pocket. So subconsciously I would think God is also like me, not easy to give away. Or maybe I think, He will always be over careful that if He bless me more than enough, the blessings may "spoilt" me or something. Point is, very hard to believe His abundant blessing is real.

As God spoke to me recently, then I understand (again) that He owns everything, including even things that I own. He can make things out of nothing, and He has all the resources in the world that He can mobilised to make my 'wish come true', that means if He like it, he can make Bill Gates knock on my door and give me a cheque. Well, sometimes He may choose to train up my 'fishing skill' or give me fishing rod rather than feeding me fish all the time.

All this that He has planned for me, has got one purpose. He loves me and has planned a good plan to bless me.

God wants to bless His church, Metro. and what I understand from Him is, He wants to bless His church through His people. I learned that if God wants to bless His church through me, He can choose to bless my 'pocket' so that He can bless the church through me.

But before that happen, I guess I must 'practise' give more than I should to the Kingdom.... then He will look down from heaven and maybe He'll says this ... " Hmmmm... this fellow is picking it up already, he's cool. I think He won't hold the money to himself. Let's give him more, might as well work through one of our kids then other means... "

Good plan huh? Let me practise to give more. Because through the telescope of faith, that's where we see His plan coming to past. If we stop believing, He would hold the horse, waiting for me to connect with Him with faith again.

God will bless Metro as a church, and God will bless us a child of God !

新年快乐

怎么这么快就又新年了？唉~ 老了老了！

最近工作后回家看到我的太太，和一天一天长大的孩子，我有一种错觉 。。。

让我感觉好像我所忙的和打拼的， 像都在为着我的家庭而已。难道我没有了理想，没有了自己的要求，没有了我自己想要的东西了吗？

我不是喜欢打篮球吗？不是很喜欢看电影吗？我不是很喜欢追新科技吗？还有好车， 好吃的啦等等。喂？难道我没有了自我？不会吧？

但是，每一次当我喝到了琦琦煲的汤，看到了恩欣画的画，听到了Jefferson的叫我“抱抱”的哭闹声，我就知道那是假象了。因为他们比我所爱看的电影更真实。比我喜爱的新科技更多“功能”。如果没有他们在车上，好车也无趣。好食物也乏味。原来我自己需要他们，比他们需要我更多。他们带给我的幸福，比我想要的更浓厚。。。

原来是人类老毛病，我把我“想要”当成了“需要”了！

上帝的心意也是一样，在祂的美意里面，祂把那我们的需要都一一的安排好了。但人毕竟是不易满足的，常把“想要”当作“需要”来办，来求。

怪不得我常学不会如何祷告。

求神赦免！

我们搬了进去新会所了！

感谢主，我们终于搬了。

24-Jan-2010, 是我们的第一个主日崇拜。

能够这么快进去，不是因为我们有任何特别的官民关系，或者我们很会管理教会，或者我们有什麽特别有力的 architech 为我们申请CF。我们其实所做的，基本上跟别的建筑物物主所做的没什么分别。甚至一般上的人的方法，如 makan kopi 都会比我们的方法更快。

但上帝的方法，就是最快最干净的。我们的上帝，祂就是得胜的上帝。

感谢主！

:- )

上帝的美意

很多时候我们觉得是悲惨的事情，
但上帝却有他的美意！
教会被纵火，底层办公室都没有了，
所有的资料都毁了！
在人看来真的好像没有了，
但是神却在这当中行了奇妙的神迹！



很快，很快，就要搬进去新教会了！！

自有永有的神, 也有生日

看到了宣轩的贴子, 让我想起在我生日的那一天, 我的好太太和女儿在我进家门的时候叫我闭上眼睛. 带着摸索的我到了桌前, 给了我这个surprise ! 是我太太特地为我而做的生日蛋糕.

Wah, 我活这么大, 第一次收到这么重的礼物, 我想一定是付出了很多的时间和心思.

我在想, 圣诞节是纪念耶稣的降生日.

自有永有的神, 也让自己有道成肉身的生日纪念日,

让祂放宝座, 为我这不值得这么做的人, 受尽了最极端的侮辱和离弃.

如此的爱恩典祂尚且为我付出, 还有什么祂不肯为我做的呢 ?

谁的生日？

现今的社会，已经忘了圣诞节的真正意义。我们每一年都在庆祝圣诞节，我们是否还记得圣诞节的意义呢？不说基督徒记不记得当中的意义，就算记得，我们很多时候都只因为是教会的活动而有所庆祝！我们与朋友交换礼物，彼此赠送礼物；上帝也把他的独生儿子送给我们了，那我们又以什么礼物与上帝交换呢？

WoW ! ! ! God is Awesome

God always gives at the Last “Perfect” minute.
It is snowing at Houston. This is my first time playing snow ball ,,,heheeh. Praise God!!!!!
If you have known me for long enough, you will know that I do not like last minute. For the past five months, God has been challenging me to wait for His last “Perfect” minute. This was not easy for me. My faith went up and down. Until a point, I let go of everything and surrendered them to God. I no longer fought for myself with my own strength, but God. Then I passed my two tests at the very last minute. Moreover, God has blessed me abundantly.

I spent my first month of summer to study musicology cumulative exam. This is an important exam. If I did not pass this exam, I would need to take this class at the following semester, which meant I needed to spend more time and money. I took the exam and I did not pass because I did not take this class at my university. Bur I transferred my credit hours from Malaysia and I had forgotten a lot of them. On the third month of summer, I studied it again. This time I asked for a friend’s help and prayed real hard to pass it. I took the exam at the last day of summer and I passed it with God’s strength.

After this exam, I still had another exam to pass, which was THEA—Texas Higher Education Assessment. I spent my second month of summer to study for the test. I did not pass all the three sections. I kept on taking the test. After a few attempts, I finally passed the test at the last week of Fall Semester. If I did not pass this test, the following semester, I could not continue my study. Praise God for another blessing.

About two months ago, my car broke down in a flood. At Houston, without a car seems like without a pair of leg, especially for me, I go around to teach. My old car had been giving me many troubles; however, each time God provided the money I needed for repairs. This time, the water went into the car engine. The mechanic told me that 70% was gone. I was so disappointed. Since the time my car broke down to the time I got a new car, I saw God was providing. My car broke down after my lesson and not far away from my student’s house. I called them. My student’s parents came to help. While I was waiting for them to come over, the neighborhood residents helped me to push my car to the side. When my student’s parent arrived, they call AAA, an insurance company, to tow my car to their place, it was free, so that the next morning the daddy could repair my car. But it did not work; we towed it to the garage to fix it. I called my pastor on that Friday and let him know and asked for suggestion. I went to Impact, and my church members prayed for me. The next morning, my pastor called me and told me that they were going to give me their Toyota Camary, 1998, for free because they just bought a new car. A week latter my car was fixed with $200. Two weeks latter my car was sold for $700. Praise God for all the good things He has done for me. Through the whole process, I saw how our God love me so much.

I am going to end at here with a story. When you are reading the story, you are free to use your creativity to imagine a picture with me.

Once upon a time, there was a boyish princes was so excited to go for hiking. She had all her hiking gears ready a night before and woke up early in the morning and happily went for her hiking. During her path, she enjoyed and praised God for His creatures. Then she saw a beautiful view, and she was so excited. Quickly, she ran to the cliff of the mountain to have a better view. Carelessly, she kicked on a stone and fell. She tried to catch any thing that she could. She was managed to catch on a few small branches, but they were not strong enough to support his weigh. Finally, she was able to catch on a bigger branch. So she held on the branch, at the same time she shouted for help. Time passed by, no one came to help. Suddenly, she heard a voice. “My beautiful princes, let go your hand and trust in Me.” Princes. “Who is this?” God, “ I am your Heavenly Father. Do not doubt! Trust in me! Let go of your hand. I will reach out My hand to catch you.” Princes, “But,,, but,,,,,, God, this is impossible, I can’t see You. Where are You?” God, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Princes, “Ok God! I trust in You. I surrender everything to You. Ai-Chin has no strength to go through this anymore. Ai-Chin is going to let go of her hand and trust that You will reach out Your hand for her. Ai-Chin is going to close her eyes, and fall on Your comfortable arms.”
This is who I was for the past few months. Although it was really tough and challenge, with God’s strength I survive.

Praise God for His love and faithfulness.

Ai-chin
