Gossiper

Have you ever wonder why some people or even a group of people, whenever they gather together they will start gossiping about other people?

Is there really no other things to talk about under the sky that whenever they open their mouths ... it must be something BAD (in their opinion) about another person? It is best for keep our mouth SHUT if we do not have better things to tell about other people then whenever you open your mouth words of destruction come out from you.

What's wrong with someone took 3 big bowls of 'lala' in the Cafeteria? What's wrong with someone who eat banana or ice cream? You can do the same if you want to.

I actually google this! Deal with Them

I was so pissed off today with their acts. I believe one day when I can't stand their nonsense I will choose to confront them all (in a gently manner). As much as I will follow His instruction. (Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted - Galatians 6:1

As I was doing my QT today, I felt so terrible because I have actually put on a sour face towards them which I should know. I felt so sad for them and horrible (at myself) for react such way. I prayed that He will forgive me and help me to react the right way and continue to show LOVE. This is what He command me to do.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:9-10

Let me not forget this LORD, guide me with your wisdom and help me not to forget your teaching. Filled me with the fruits of the Spirit.

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 3 John 11

Be imitators of God, therefore,as dearly loved children. Ephesians 5:1

Reason I wrote this? For me to keep reminding myself of what to do and what not to do. I pray that it will be the same with you if you happen to read this as well.

May God bless you.

Penang National Park - Monkey Beach

What did I do during National day on the 31st? Or rather how did I spent it in Penang (alone) for the first time?

I joined the Georgetown Baptist Church Family's Day outing (so I am actually not alone - in Penang). We went to the Penang National Park and later hike to Monkey Beach! I didn't know that in this little (according to some people) island there is such a beautiful place.

Seriously you will need to explore the whole Penang when you come here. There is this place called "Bukit Genting' somewhere around Balik Pulau area. You can basically see the other side of the island and the scene is fascinating! This is especially during the sunset (evening) but 1 problem is that the road is very narrow and you will need a local people to drive you up and down. Other options is to engage local tour agent. "Why am I talking about Bukit Genting?" Suppose to talk about Penang National Park.

Basically there it is a good place for hiking, there are few trails that's bring you to different parts of the park. There is even a trail to the Light House (I shall try that 1 day). After look at some photos (I thank God that I don't come across any of the reptile except a monkey) haha... It was a great outing, as we walked in a large group so we took about 2 hours to reach Monkey Beach to joined with all the other groups who went there by boat.

The only picture that I took was this:-


Why is this the only picture? Because I am so clever that I forgot to insert my memory card to the camera and I don't want to delete photo in the memory :P

But you can just search either "Monkey Beach" or "Penang National Park" you will be able to view other pictures :)

Amazing Grace & Me

The question was asked before, "What so great about Amazing Grace"? 

All this while, the song Amazing Grace is just another song that I sang during worship and some gathering with no meaning at all. Not until the Grace of God reached me in my worst situation in life. I am so thankful that I have a great God who know my needs and meet me where I was and breaks the chains for me! 

I am really thankful that He did not let me go and insisted that I run back to His warm and caring shoulders! It is nothing greater to be in the presence of a loving Father. Seeing Him, breaking my chains one by one as I surrender my broken life to Him is such a great JOY.

I will never walk the darkest path in my life again. Never will I let Him go, He is so previous to me. I couldn't believe that I wasted my youth in things that are not important. Wasted so much of my time in doing things that broke His heart.

Ephesians 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to feat
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone 
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

*Never too late to believe in Jesus for He is mighty to save! Whenever you felt that there is no reason to live, before you end your life... give Jesus a chance!
