ANGER Management!

Oh my! It was a horrible day! Peoples are mad, it's true, peoples are mad, mad, mad! My head was burst like a volcano with smokes, fires and lava shooting out everywhere! I don't know why church peoples are so hard to work with, they are a bunch so called "Saint" with a hallow on their heads. The mouth is full of "Holy" words but never really practice what they preach. (I guess I'm the only sinner there.) Some of them are so rude when they talk to me, HEY! Talk nicely if you need something! (I don't like rude people!) Yiiiii......drive me up the walls!
Ephesians 4:26 "Don't sin by letting anger gain control over you." don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a mighty foothold to the devil.

BBQ on Stove Top


I love Monday! It was my off day and I can go out for fresh air! So I went shopping in the town to catch the breaths! (Huh......) On my way to the shopping mall, I passed by the two dollar shop which offered lots of cheap stuff from China; cookware, pottery, stationary, make-up, toys, artificial flowers, bags, electronics, lamps, tables, exercise equipment, clocks and etc. (It is a paradise for people like me who survive under tight budget!) So, I walked into the shop to browse through every section. As I come to the cookware section, I found this amazing BBQ pan on stove top, I thought it was a joke! But the picture on the box shown you can cooked meat, green pepper, onions on the pan, I didn't know such things actually exist! (Wow, I love BBQ and I can make them on my stove top, what a great news!) So, without hesitation I brought the BBQ pan and get a packet of sausages to try on this new things I got. I heat up the pan on my stove top, brush some oils on it, place the sausage gently on top the pan, and the things really did BBQ my sausages. Man, it really taste like the real roasted sausages on charcoal! Next time I would have Korean BBQ at my own kitchen, another recipes to add in my menu...hooray!

Moving Shelter....

Finally, I got my own place to called home! Yeah! So if you ever drop by this part of the world in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia; let me know and I got a guest room for you to hit the sack! (Cool huh....of course reservation required! Haha^@^) Anyway, so moving shelter will always comes with loads of things to sort, to throw, to pack, to carry, to replace....blah blah blah. It was scary when I first step into my new house, it had been six month not occupy by any human being, (I don't know about other "being"!) and the place it's in a mess and full of dust. So I picked up the bloom to start sweeping the place, and my nose was bleeding and my asthma attacked! (Horror!) +.+ I measure the dusts, it was at least 5cm heights, good grief! (Well, I manage to clean-up the place after a long battle in dust and dirt! My very own "Third world war"!) When the night came, I carry all my stuff from the old apartment to the new apartment at 4th Floor, no elevator, another blow! (I was regretted to move for a split seconds, then I shake my head to clear the "give up" thoughts!) After the moving, I need to take out my stuff to place in the new apartment, redecorate and make myself a mighty delicious dinner. (That's a lie, I slept and left everything in the living room in a mess! I am glad it's done!)
Last week, David Underwood my old MV Doulos friend came for a visit from Croatia, and I invited him to stay with me in my new place, it was a cool week! We went to Ranau for Hot Bath (No nudity! It's not like those in Japan!), swimming, chit chat about our time on MV Doulos and gossips about peoples that have left the ship. (So many of them have got married and some even have childrens!)
I guess life has been good so far for this chapter now......

Does the sun go away?


This is a beautiful story I read in the book by Jennifer Rees Larcombe "Where have You gone God?"

A few years ago we decided to try the Lake District for our holiday, because everyone kept telling us how beautiful it was there. Two wet, miserable weeks later we drove home again, sneezing all the way. Mountain? Were there any? All we had seen were gloomy clouds hanging low over our heads. Lakes? The lashing rain obscured them. Views? We had seen nothing but misted car windows.
'The sun must've gone to Africa,' my smallest son remarked crossly as we sped down the motorway.
'Don't be silly,' his knowledgeable elder sister replied. 'The sun is always up there shining.'
'If it had been I wouldn't be have felt so cold,' snapped Richard.
'You just have to know it's there even when you can't feel it,' said Naomi with finality. She was right and the same principle applies to God.
I believe in he sun, even when it is not shining.
I believe in love even when I cannot feel it.
I believe in God even when He is silent.

Talk about spiritual desert

Today, I was just reading a book by Jennifer Rees Larcombe"Where have You gone God?". It was written in the book about spiritual deserts of Christian life around the world, including some of the famous world leaders.

Recently, I developed a kind of depression inside of me and really got bored of working in the church, everything seems like a routine to me, I lost my joy in my works! (What a horror!) Well, I guess the best thing for me to do it's just take a walk, quiet down, seeking for refreshments. (So I continue dive into the books!) As I read on, a line from the book pops into my mind... "Here I am, serving God, just where God wants me to be, doing what God wants me to do, until God tells me to do something else." - what a refreshing thoughts and insights! Immediately, I repented and asked God to forgive me for not looking into His bigger plan in my life, how short-sighted am I. Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "they are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." (NLT)
