God is in the silence. Sometimes we look for him in the earthquakes, sometimes in the fires, but what if you was waiting there in the silence to speak to you. Sometimes when we feel down, life is totally at it's bleakest moment and we are searching for God desperately but why is it that we cannot find Him? It is possible that we are searching for him in the chaos while he was in the silence waiting for us to move to the silence and have a solitude moment. In that moment, the best moment you can ever have. Only God and you and everything else that is happening around us no longer matters because all that matters now is hearing what God have to say to us.

Repentance should always exist in our life. We never know when we are going to sin. Thus, we should always be aware of what we are doing and if we sin then it is time to ask for forgiveness and start going into repenting mode. However, that does not means it is okay to sin. If not whats the point of repenting because ultimately at the end of the repentance process, that sinning habit should be completely remove out of our life.
Proverbs 4:23, Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Guard your heart. Keep it pure. Dun let the evil get in. If not we might sin again. There are many things we need to take note when it comes to guarding our heart.
One of the things we need to do to guard our hearts is knowing who we are letting into our circle of close friends that will influence our thinking and actions. So pick your close friends wisely. If you know those friends you are going to let in are bad for your, then you have reach a crossroad which splits into two. You can choose to carry on and let them in... Or... You can choose not to let them in. If you choose not to let them in, you can still be friends with them so it isn't that bad XD

God know when the time is right. If God send you someone you hate in your life today. He has his reasons in doing so. When I needed to talk to someone. He bring someone to me and allow me to share things and thats all I needed. But the even better thing is he was bless by some of the things that I shared. God didn't make things happen in our life for nothing. He make things happen to turn things around for His glory. So from a bad thing, it is now a good thing because it has turn around.
God gave us a mouth to speak. Speak good things positive things. God gave us a mouth to confess His goodness. He gave us a mouth to speak to others. He gave us a mouth so that we can bless others through what God has already bless us with. God is a God of unpredictable. But thats what makes our life so colorful. If life was predictable then how boring would it have been. So praise the Lord that he made life that way. Stop complaining about how sucky your life is... While you were wasting your time complaining, someone has taken over the role that God has given you because you keep complaining and never listen to what he gotta say. Start looking at the bright side. Keep looking at the positive. If we want God to bless us with something big, we have to first take delight in the little things that God has entrust with us. Only then will he know that he can entrust you with bigger things.

Been so tired recently... I could only move around because I force myself to keep going... I feel so lethargic on my legs and hands but thats fine coz I know I really gotta keep going until the holiday arrives. :)
Anyway I really hope I can find a work to do over the holiday. For all my life, I have never gone working during the holidays and I felt maybe this time round, I should break this cycle. No point staying at home all day enjoying life, lazing around. It is time to get out there and see more, it is time to experience working life. Even if it is just for 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks... It doesn't matter because at least I can take something out of it and bring it along in my life. Also, I don't want to keep depending on my parents. I feel they have given me so much. I haven't return them much. I felt all I had done was to bring disappointment to them in my life. Especially my dad... I have one of the best father in my life. He may not be perfect but he is an awesome dad. He had done so much for me. I love my family. :)
I really want to thank God for what he has done in my life. When I thought to myself how much I hate art and how not creative I am. He brought me to somewhere where I needed to use my creativity. Somewhere where I need to do a lot of art and art appreciation. As time go by, I realized I do not hate art and in fact, I love it. Also, I realized I am creative and the only reason why I have not been able to tap into my creativity happens to be my self-denial of it's existence.
Had it not been for God, I would have hated my family. I always think of them as unloving people always showing bias towards my brother because he is so talented. But ever since I met God, he brought Love into my life. He show me what love is like and the many form of how it is express. I never realized how fortunate I am. Had I not met God, I would still be a rebellious person in my household. Had I not met God, I would have been such a bitter person. Had I not met God, I would have to go through the pain through my memory of my long gone grandfather alone, for I love him so much and he left so early in my life. Had I not met God, where would I be today? I would not imagine a person who had absolutely lost love and compassion and still finding his purpose in life. Because thats a really sad life to live.

The world is going really fast and we're also going fast just to keep up with the pace. But even though we have to keep pace, sometimes it is better to stop for a moment and take a step back and look where we are heading. If not, we might head in the wrong direction without knowing it. In the Bible, Matthew 7:14 it said, "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
So lets not head in the wrong direction. You are the driver and not the world. The world do not control our pace or direction but you do.
I learn so much from the message that I heard yesterday and today. I learn that I should stop hiding some of my talents and start using them to shine for God. I want to achieve my purpose in life and without people it can never be achieve because humans are design for relationship with people. All I want to do is to bless others with what I have. The world is not only about me.
