| Can't sleep, no idea why. I remember the words of Pastor Bob Rogers the
other day, he said when you can't sleep, then maybe God is trying to
tell you something. I think I'll go have a lil chat with Him after
this..hehe. I hope tomorrow will be a fun day, have no idea what I'm
going to do but ya something tells me I'll be out and about. Hmm I just
get this feeling that I should be praying for someone, it's day like
these thst makes you feel that God is up to something big even though
you dont feel like He is... but trust me peeps He is definately up to
something

| Hey peeps it's been awhile ya ? Been kind of busy lately,
Hmm let's see...yesterday after youth I went to Sekincan with sister Yuen Ling,
Gloria and Valerie. Guess what ? I gave a devotion / testimony, which was so
cool coz I spoke in English then got this gal who translate it to mandarin.
Praise God I think I'm getting better at public speaking or rather I think it
was because I was speaking God's Word., that is why there is a sense of peace.
But ya it was a good experience, again I know God is preparing me for ministry.
Speaking of youth, we had this pastor from US. Pastor Bob Rogers is an
amazing speaker, was really bless by his message both in youth and in Sunday
service. I was challenge to do more than I think I could ever do. I know God is
going to some amazing things in my life in these coming months..can't wait
Hehe is it me or do I seem to have writer’s block ?. Went for this interview with International
Graduate Studies (IGS) college. Hehe ..don't let the name fool you, though it
sounds cool, but it's not. You know there is something wrong with the college
when the CEO makes you wait 45 minutes just so he can interview for 5 minutes. Anyway
I think I'm going to send in my resume for fun and see what happens.
Oh ya one last thing..Karen Watts is my Malaysian Idol..hehe she's just
adorable..hehe. Anyway me wanna go relax...catch you guys later. BTW today's
blog is the summarize version of the past few days. If you want to know the
detail version ask me on msn or something ..hehe | | |
| Yipeeeee hehe I think I'm crazy hyper or just plain
happy..got my results today..I officially graduated. Hehe God is good..and see
people prayer helps..all my friends got through as well..isn't God good? So
boys and girls tonite before you go to bed..thank God for your results..hehe.
Hmm was talking to a friend yesterday on msn..notice I don't say someone
anymore cos people always seem to think I'm refering to someone specific which
is not true. When I say I wish to talk to someone it means anyone in general
..hehe so don't misunderstand.
What was I saying again ? Yeah I was talking to this friend and than we came to
the topic of relationship. Question ..why is it that guys have to do all the
work. Hehe to tell a girl you like her is the most nerve wrecking thing..haha
at least for me. People, I'm shy k..really really. I rather like go bungee
jumping then tell a gal I like her..hehe
Question number two..how on earth are you supposed to know a gal likes you
without being seen as perasan. That's is why I don't take hints..hehe I'm too
blur to get them..
So boys and girls what have we learn about Gav today..I'm shy and if someone
really does like me..just come and tell me la..simple as that..hehe. And to
think I'm 24 this year..and still single..kind of scary. Hehe today's entry is
the unedited version..maybe I'm too happy
Oh yeah been watching Australian Idol..yes yes not Malaysian but Australian.
Anyway I think its so easy to get into Australian Idol. The judges are much
nicer then the American Idol.. Hehe I should I have just gone to Aussie
So if you think Gavin is your next Malaysian Idol call and vote after the show.
The number once again is 1-800 Idol 01. Oh boy I'm just plain mad today..hehe.
So boys and girls be good and remember that God loves you all..hehe | | |
| Call On Him In Truth
"The Lord is near to all who call on
Him, to all who call on Him in truth." Psalm 145:18 NIV
When I was
struggling with some negative emotions recently, the Lord brought the above
verse to my remembrance. I had just had a very hurtful and disappointing
experience, and I just couldn't seem to shake off the negative feelings that
were clinging to me. I kept telling myself that I shouldn't feel the way I did,
and that I shouldn't let things bother me so much. But no matter how I tried, I
just couldn't break free from the oppressive emotions that were pulling me
down. As I was praying and seeking God about the matter, I began to sense that
He was saying to me--"Why don't you stop talking about how you SHOULDN'T
feel--and start telling Me how you DO feel?"
That's when the verse
above took on new meaning for me. It showed me that if I want to have a truly
intimate relationship with God, then I have to be completely honest and open
with Him at all times. In this situation, part of me didn't want to admit that
I was feeling jealous, prideful, and fearful. And I certainly didn't want to
admit that I was feeling sorry for myself. I wanted to think that I was above
all that, and that I was in control. But it wasn't until I turned to God and
said--"This is how I REALLY feel, Lord...and I need Your help"--that I began to
experience the peace and freedom that He wanted me to lay hold of.
It's true that if we're going to follow in Christ's footsteps, we're going to
have to regularly shake off sinful attitudes like pride and selfishness. But
many times, before we can successfully shake them off, we need to share them
honestly with God, and then ask Him to forgive us, cleanse us, and give us more
of His grace. Otherwise, they will keep coming back to haunt us. Sometimes, we
even need to share these wrong attitudes with a godly person who is trustworthy,
and who will intercede for us. Scripture says, "Confess your sins to
each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." (James 5:16 NIV)
Praying for those who have hurt and offended us is an important part of the
healing process, too. The Bible tells us that the Lord didn't restore to Job
all that he had lost, until he prayed for the friends who had deeply wounded
him. (Job 42:8,10)
The NLT translation of Psalm 145:18 reads: "The Lord is close to all who call
on Him, yes, to all who call on Him sincerely." As we strive to be
sincere in all of our dealings with God, we will enjoy sweet and intimate
fellowship with Him. One way that will help us to stay on track in this area,
is to regularly ask the Lord to examine our hearts and minds. David's prayer in
Psalm 139 is a perfect way to do that: "Search me, O God, and know my
heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life." (Psalm 139:23-24 NLT)
Don't try to hold anything back from God. It will only keep you from
experiencing the fullness of His presence and blessing in your life. Call upon Him in truth and sincerity
today, and discover a deeper walk with Him than you have ever known. May this
precious promise from the Lord sustain you--"Open up before God, keep nothing
back; He'll do whatever needs to be done"! (Psalm 37:5 MSG)
Lord, help me to be quick to tell
You honestly when I'm struggling with negative attitudes and emotions, and to
ask for Your help. If it's Your will for me to confide in a fellow believer,
please show me who that should be. Remind me to pray for those who hurt me, so
that I may walk in wholeness. Thank You that as I call on You in truth, I will
enjoy a vibrant relationship with You!
