Tioman Island Holiday

By


I have just come home from Tioman Island, which is very beautiful. I learned a few lessons during this holiday which I love to share with you.

I woke up at 4:30am on Saturday morning but I reached my destination at 4:30pm. There were many waiting and waiting during the journey - wait for the taxi, wait for the tour bus, wait for custom clearance, wait for ferry etc. So I learned patience, I learned to slow down my pace in life, I learned to appreciate the life style of other people, I learned how to wait and wait without any fret!

Tioman Island is a God's creation. It's water is so clear that you can see the fishes from the ferry. I went snorkeling and saw many corals mushrooming under the sea. Colourful fishes of various sizes come charging at the food I fed them with. My relatives saw sting rays, baby sharks and jelly fish too! I saw flying squirrels hanging on trees, monitor lizards snapping up chickens and monkeys making faces at you. My most impressive memory is the night sky blanketed with stars, forming clusters here and there, and remembering that God knows each one by name! (Issiah 40:26).He loves us so much by creating all these for us to enjoy, so please take good care of Earth. It's our way of saying THANK YOU to the great Creator.

3Ds - Declutter, Detox & Debug

By
Just learnt these 3 words in a seminar - De-clutter, De-tox, De-bug In order to hear God clearly, I need to constantly apply these 3Ds in my life:- 1) De-clutter Most of the times I have a hard time to discard things and I tend to keep them and then forgot about them.  Things get piled out and it does affect my search for important things.  Likewise, I also have many ungodly thoughts that can clutter my thought and keep me from hearing God.  It takes times to de-clutter and I need God to show me what it is that is hidden, which He desires for me to discard, so that there is a room to hear His voice. 2)  De-tox Toxic attitudes & behaviors that I allow into my life affects my hearing and has impact on my walk with God.  There are many lies that the enemy has planted in my thought life and this can impact my relationship with God. I need to discern and identif...

New lawyer Darren Tan once spent 10 years in jail PUBLISHED IN ST ON AUG 25, 2014 11:47 AM

I love to hear testimonies of God's transforming works in a person's life.  It encourages me & I hope when I post it here, it encourages you too!    Mr Darren Tan with his proud parents - Mr Tan Chon Kiat and Madam Ong Ai Hock. The new lawyer changed the course of his life while he was behind bars.  BY CHANG AI-LIEN SENIOR CORRESPONDENT Darren Tan, 35, is finally a full-fledged lawyer. He reached that milestone yesterday when he was called to the Bar during a mass ceremony at Nanyang Technological University. It was a far cry from his shaky start in life when drugs and gang activities led to over 10 years behind bars and 19 strokes of the cane. "This is the culmination of what I've been working towards for the last 10 years," he told The Sunday Times. "It's like waking up from a dream and finding out your dream has become reality." His life of crime began at the age of 14, and he was in and out of prison for offences that ...

ASK, SEEK & KNOCK

By
Below is a sharing by a christian friend:- ASK: I got up early one morning & rushed right into the day. I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray. Problems just tumbled about me and heavier came each task;'Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered. He said,"But you didn't ask." I wanted to see joy & beauty but the day toiled on, gray & bleak; I wondered why God didn't show me. He said,"But you didn't seek." I tried to come into God's presence; I used all my keys at the lock. God gently & lovingly chided "My child, you didn't knock," I woke up this morning and paused before entering the day. I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.  My friend's experience reminded me of a quote by Martin Luther :  “I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”
