Quiet Time today

Quiet Time today:

People who are hurting have a common need: the comfort that comes from trusting God. They need to be assured that tragedy and grief are not a mark of God's disfavor but that He weeps with them, He loves them, and He will never leave those who are His.
Eliphaz said to Job: "Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened feeble knees" (Job 4:4). Job earned this tribute despite his own deep suffering. And when we offer comfort to sorrowing and suffering people, we not only emulate Job—we emulate Jesus.
In the midst of a host of hurting people, each one of us can reach out to become a comforter like Job. Let's ask God to make our hearts tender enough to support and strengthen those who are hurting. —Herb Vander Lugt

Will's Famous Quote of the day

"Scared? You feel hot, you feel cold, you feel scared.
Its just a feeling. It will come, and it will go.
Only you will remain...
Now focus on the task at hand!"
- One of the 'Dune' books

God, I wish I can do that! I want to rise above my fears and sad things and just focus on the task at hand!

Polly's latest latest checkup

Polly's latest latest checkup on Monday showed that baby Ashley is still in the wrong position. Doc said not much chance she will turn around as no space to turn.
Polly is a bit scared. Me too.
Trust in the Lord , I told her, and leave the situation to the Lord. We can't do anything else but pray.

"Row, row, row your boat..." I sang to the baby before bed...

Sunday

Sunday. went a bought a silly puffer fish to solve all my snail problem in the upper tank. Looks like Shi jie. So I called it Shi jie.

Celebrated birthday for Wen jie (that's another jie) at Ichiban restaurant.

Vewy sleepy today, as I spent lots of time reading the 3rd and last book of the 'Dreams' trilogy by William T Quick. 'Singularities' - finalise the war between 2 mega corporations. Vewy good book!

Wat I did yesterday

So tired and sleepy yesterday, did not sleep well, Polly too, she kept getting up and going to the toilet.
Spent the morning changing water for my fish tanks, and cleaning the floor and some other chores..
In the afternoon started doing my Sturm Dias and Advanced Hazel.
Sand and sand and sand...

My mom's birthday today

Today's my mom's birthday. Went to JE mrt flower shop (my favourite) and bought her 6 red roses and 2 other red flowers. Took a cab and went to the Colabarium, put the flowers on her tablet and went back.
Did not want to think too much or else I will start to tear.

Wish I was a better son...

Happy Birthday Mom!

2 of the newly bought guppies died

A black Tuxedo and a Red Tuxedo died. One of fin rot and the other mouth rot.
They were from the tank with sick fishes...

Nevermind

Will's Famous Quote of the Day

Its ok to make a mistake the first time.
Its tupid not to learn from it and make the same mistake twice.

I go humble

These 2 years as I reflect on my life. I've been humbled greatly by my failures and events that God lovingly allowed to touch my life. Events that cause me to be sad/disappointed/frustrated...

But as I looked back, I've become much much less ya-ya, and proud. I used to say I can do this and do that, and always thought I held most, if not all the answers. Nothing can be further from the truth. Without God, I am nothing but a useless sinner. Heck, I cannot even control my own self.
How would I know what's gonna happen next?

Now I hope I can help the next generation not to repeat the mistakes of my life ... because to learn them is pretty painful and sometimes downright devastating...

But sometimes we need to learn lessons the HARD way, right?

Tamama Part II

Tamama costs $10, says my usual lobot supplier.
Damn, my fren gets it for free...

Now I want a Keroro.

Tamama

my fren asked me for a ta ma ma. I checked with my usual supplier and he said "what is that?"

so funy!

1 guppy died

This morning the last of the 5 yellow-tail guppy died. My other blue-tuxedo is dying after a fight with some other fish, ended with torn fins and stuff.

Sianz

new handphone

Finally! Went over to Singtel and bought a new handphone, Sony Ericsson k600i for $148. Initially wanted a nokia as its familiar interface but the K600i won me over with its features and price.
Used the $100 voucher from my last bday present from my church frens and I get to pay only $48. No too much for me. I am NOT a handphone fan.
New corp account by my wife means it will be cheaper bills for me. Went home and charge it. and left it at home....

Quiet Time today

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.
7And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.
9Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
10He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us,
11as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

2 Corinthians 1:3-11

Yes, indeed the sorrow in my heart sometimes overwhelms me and causes me to despair even of life (v8). I don't understand why things happen the way they did, and they still happen. "What good can come out of it?" I asked my God.

But as I read and reread this passage and the other parts of the Bible, God offers His comfort and peace to us as we seek Him. God leads me today as He leads Joseph in the Old Testament, and as Joseph and countless others faced challenges, disappointments and defeats, they did not grumble or ask why, they just continued to walk with God. They relied on God (v9), and their suffering has a purpose (v4-6).

Oh God please help me to walk with You like that!

One day when I see You, the answers will be there,
but perhaps those answers will not be necessary at all...

Polly's Latest Checkup

Baby Ashley is still in the wrong position in her womb, head on top and legs below... sort of like a mech pilot sitting in a Gundam.. Doctor says if the next checkup in 2 weeks Ashley does not turn then we will have to go for an op to deliver her..

Baby Ashley, turn turn!

We can only pray hard to God and leave this to Him.
