Few more days.

8 more days
to the last day of 2013. Wow! Time really really really flies.
Looked around, many changes had took place. I
have a work. I am officially a teacher. I am a graduate. I started to learn to
be more responsible in my life. No more doing whatever I like just because I
like it. *shouting ‘I AM A GROWN-UP*. Haha. Finally, (like FINALLLYYY!!) I understand that every decision comes
with its consequence. Some friends are in oversea, some friends are heading abroad,
some friends are graduating, some friends are pursuing Master degree and some
friends are still studying.
Looking
back and reflecting the year of 2013, I think many and many ( like really MANNNNY) things had taken place.
I had my last semester in university, quitted Jazz Band, prepared my heart to
leave, reluctant to leave, went to Camp Cameron, went to be a teacher in an
International School, pulled my hair because of students, had an awesome convocation with family and friends, went
through a phase of adapting at home after three years, found a church to be
called a home-church, went back to university as a graduate and many many many
smiles, tears, memories and friendships in between.
I would
regard this year as the BEST YEAR so far not because many things had took place
but because I know I can never face all these seasons mentioned without my only
and one understanding and faithful Dad. So many changes and yet I am still
standing still, I am amazed how everything fall into place at the end of the
day.
I guess I
am really an adult at last. *pull my hair and shout NOOOOO*
P/S: As we
prepare our heart for Christmas and New Year, lets us reflect our year with
thankfulness and gratefulness that we are still alive and safe. May you walk
into the new year with the mind that He will always hold your hand as you face
a new year of adventures. May you grow
in Word and to grasp His unfailing love for you.
Merry
Christmas and Blessed NEW YEAR 2014 (*eyes open wide..like I am going to be 24 already??! haha)

Move. On.

Was not reluctant to go this time. Maybe when it is time, it is time. I am glad I met up with people that I love. But was even happier to see how they moved on with their lives. Life is meant to move forward. We can always stop to take a pause, to reflect and to rest. But, never to choose to stuck at the same phase. You may lose so many opportunities to do so much more.

Why you do what you do?

I realised that no matter what I do; I often ask myself,
Why are you doing this , Fong Wan?
And when I realised that when the answer is because of God,
I find myself, smiling for what I did.
That for me , is one simple joy in life.

Saving Us.
POSTED ON: 17 November 2013 @ 9:49 PM | 0 comments
In Saving Private Ryan, eight men went to several parts of Normandy to find one man. His name is James Ryan. These eight men faced with various attacks from the enemies. They also faced some internal conflicts because they began losing trust for changing eight men's lives for one man. James Ryan did survived. However, only one of those eight men survived in order to make sure James Ryan survived the war. Captain Miller, a captain or the leader of the eight men said this to James before breathing his last breath,
'James, earn this...earn it. '
James wept with disbelief upon hearing that.
One day old James Ryan went back to the memorial that was contributed the soldiers that served in World War II. He went standing in front of the tomb of a man, Captain Miller.
James Ryan said,
My family is with me today. They wanted to come with me. To be honest with you, I...I wasn't sure how I'd feel coming back here. Every day I think about what you said to me that day on the bridge. I tried to live my life the best that I could. I hope that was enough. I hope that, at least in your eyes, I've earned what all of you have done for me.
This movie reminds me on how Jesus is like these eight men sacrificed their lives for a stranger named Ryan, whom they never see before.
I was thinking to myself after watching the movie that will I at my old age say this to myself 'At least in God's eyes, I've earned what He had done for me.'
Saving Private Ryan is a fictional story. A story about the sacrifice of eight men for a man's life. But the story of Jesus is about a sacrifice of a man for you and me. One perfect sacrifice to save us all from the wrath and the judgement of God. Many times, we may take this for granted.....our salvation.
But let us reminded again that we were never good enough for good God to die for us. We never can earn salvation. In exchange for what our Jesus had done for us on Calvary, I hope that in God's eyes, you and I try to live the best we can for Him for what He had done for us.
For in 1st Timothy 1: 13 to 16, Paul wrote
Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignore and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out to me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Jesus Christ. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners- of whom I am worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience for an example for those who believe on him and receive eternal life.
And he continued to remind Timothy,
18...so that by following them you may fight a good fight , holding on to faith and good conscience.

Travel.
POSTED ON: 10 November 2013 @ 11:49 PM | 1 comments
I still remember setting my feet at the hills of Sa Pa, Vietnam .
Was just amazed with nature, people, culture and life.
Many people travel for different reasons.
Some are for shopping. Some are for the food. Some for entertainments.
I think I just wanna explore different cultures and different people.
Also, to enrich the way I thought of life by people and its cultures.
I always think that the world on the other side are always greener.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Because places like Sa Pa with such simple living-style could provide the best in life as long as one is content.
Maybe through some travelling here and there,
I would know that home would be the best place, after-all.

Guess where did I come back from???? I just came back from Universiti Malaya's Persaudaraan Kristian Varsiti camp!I know it was really weird that I joined a camp not being a student there but I believe God works in very unique way.
Clement asked, ' What makes you join our camp?'
I replied, ' I guess God has to pull me back to where I grow the most (university) to retell me that He is the author and perfecter of faith. That He will know how I feel and that I don't have to run away from Him.
**(Not exactly the exact things I said to Clem, there are rephrasing)
It is good to take a break from all of the things that hinder me from getting to a greater height with God. Now I am refreshed, it is time to minister and serve in where I am now with all my heart to the Lord,
Because I am reminded...
1st Corinthians 15: 8
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
