I have just finished my lunch. Now Is about 2:03 pm.
This few weeks I’m always had late lunch and lunch in the office. ( whereby this is what I don’t like, Always stuck in the office) Reason behind – work load getting more and more (lesser people) and all documents are Urgent, need to be done ASAP.
Really feel tired (Esp. my eyes, keep focusing on my computer - long hours, my eye getting dry and pain).This cause my whole body tired and headache.. ( now i understand why the eye is the lamp of body)..is not only effect mind and spirit but body as well....
I have been asking God, what are the things I can learn from my current job, in order to lift up my spirit and motivation in my work. I know learning spirit will keep me moving on. But where is the drive? …
Facing the routine work( paper like moutain; rush (speed like rocket) and different kinds of character people to deal with...i found my heart don't even have space slower and settle down .. think this is the challenge i have to deal with...
Above all the things, i think i shouldn't complain much instead i should learn to be grateful of what i have. I got job means i have living expenses. I got job for me to dicover more of me and my potential, i got job that i might expose myself to learn and see the value in life, i got job that i have chance to relate people and build up friendship, i got job that i can share and testify my GOD....
Lord, i want to be grateful person because of your grace and mercy upon me. Lord, i don't want to keep it as headknowledge..but lord let you be the heartbeat in my life that i able live forth my life that full of your grace and mercy. Lord i know you are watching over me and you are listening to my every single grumble and struggle...Oh lord, now i want my mouth just to declare the goodness of you and say everythings that good..
restore my heart with gratefulness...oh lord...

My Small thought
Time really flies…
In the month of Sept, there so many things happen around me or to me…
Good new and bad news come together…
Bring to the sense of uncertainty…
Is true enough everything under the sun is uncertainly
Who can stop this uncertainly in life?
Also because the uncertainty we will start to fear of the LORD. Because of the uncertainly, ..we seek for certainly… Who yesterday, today and forever are the same and never change.
Just want to lay down all the uncertainty in my heart ( that on my hands) and look upon the only AWESOME , FAITHFUL GOD, My CREATOR….( who yesterday, today and forever the same)
THANK GOD, I am your child. :)
About Rick Warren, author
(Share with you this article.)
Inspire me alot.....:)
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with
his wife now having cancer and him having "wealth" from the book sales.
Interview with Rick
Warren , "Purpose Driven Life " author and pastor of Saddleback Church
in California .
In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:
People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I
respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were made
to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.
One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the
end of my body-- but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to
spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the
dress rehearsal.
God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever
in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that
out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now,
you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into
another one.
The reason for this is that God is more interested in your
character than your comfort.
God is more interested in making your life holy than He is
in making your life happy.
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not
the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ-likeness.
This past year has been the greatest year of my life but
also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go
through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I
don't believe that anymore.
Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that
it's kind of like two rails on a ra ilroad track, and at all times you
have something good and something bad in your life.
No matter how good things are in your life, there is
always something bad that needs to be worked on.
And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is
always something good you can thank God for.
You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your
problems.
If you focus on your problems, you're going into
self-centeredness, "which is my problem, my issues, my pain."
But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get
your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of
hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it
easy for her.
It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has
strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other
people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad
of life. Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder.
For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15
million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to
deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for
your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this
money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that
helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.
First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not
change our lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases.
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a
salary from the church.
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call
The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care
for the sick, and educate the next generation.
Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the
24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was
liberating to be able to serve God for free.
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for
possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness?
Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my
life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed
and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You
more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a
to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's
why we're called human beings, not human doings.
Happy moments, PRAISE GOD. Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD. Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.
Inspire me alot.....:)
