when things don't turn out as you would want

Something that our pastor shared in our church email blast.. i need to do these

When things don’t turn out as you would want:
First, place yourself in His hands. His hands are big enough to hold you, embrace you, and give peace to your soul.

Second, let Scripture speak to you. God’s Words and promises will build and strengthen you. Let him give you a rhema word (a personal word) of comfort, of assurance, of love, of forgiveness, and of hope.

Third, let this process develop your soul. One of my favorite hymns is, “It is well with my soul.” The writer saw a ship sink which had on board his wife and children. Through the grief and turmoil, he met God anew. Corrie Ten Boom, who risked her life saving Jews from the Nazis, and thus landed in a Nazi concentration camp, said, “There is no pit so deep, that His love is not deeper still.”

Fourth, don’t focus on what “others may think.” It is important for you to come into the presence of God and hear His words of love and strength and forgiveness.

Fifth, count your blessings. This is a key weapon of spiritual warfare. Name those blessings one by one. It will surprise you what God has done.

Sixth, get adequate rest, eat properly, and exercise to work off the stress. Remember, you are a total person, body, soul and spirit.

Seventh, find someone you can get wise counsel from. We are not meant to bear our burdens alone. Let your Grace group pray with you.

Eighth, declare God’s will shall be done! That is your faith statement. You may not know how, but God will even make the evil that men do to praise him!

My pole class

I have no idea how the weeks pass by.. 2 weeks fly by just like that..

Training, pole prac and class, cell, church event, church retreat.. no time to breathe..

Love my pole classes manz.. before i know it.. this sat is the last class of level 1 already.. and there's a 1 min show case.. so exciting.. it's been a fun journey.. i can't stop thinking abt my pole lessons.. but i seem to have a knack for picking up hobbies that can give injuries here and there.. kena 2 blue black on my knees.. but at least it's just blue black.. i've got worse.. but i'm definitely going on to level 2... so much fun techniques to learn now it's just the basics!



My sis says, first i pick up something to behave like a man, then i pick up something to behave like a woman.. that's what i am, oxymoron and confused..

Finally have my gym sessions.. i m going throttle Arik if he flies my kite again this sat..

And yes.. sat.. celebrating my birthday at YJ.. would love all my friends to be there.. but the place a bit small.. and i'm not sure how ppl can interact with one another.. so mainly colleagues.. and with aijia.. if john is not there i'm going to ham tam myself manz..

know in cell today Alvin propose to amanda.. so happy for them :) always feel damn shiok to hear a long time couple tie the knots.. Congrats amanda! lucky Alvin!! Hope they get a flat soon :)

Possibly need to blog more about work related stuff.. should be interesting to dig more about =)

swollen hand

think can't see.. wth.. punch the bag and got the hand rly swollen and blue black.. this is what happen when you happen to be thinking about someone that pisses you off as you vent on the bags and not concentrating on yr techniques..

____________

Realise i'm such a creature of habit.. i use the same body foam for last 11 years.. would only buy 1 type of tibit, eat the same bao from the same stall before training (until the guy say for me "一个叉烧包对吗?"), drink the same drink from the same stall (the guy also say for me "milo 冷的，加珍珠? ") and follow the same band for the last 10 years..

no wonder my sisters say i'm like an open book..
