Christmas Feel

This christmas really made me felt alot.
All the exams , projects and work made the most of it!
Everyone has stress, everyone have problems and everyone has a need.
Meeting need is a cycles of life.
I meet the need of others -> others meet my needs

Some people only meet needs, some people only want needs to be met.
how different can this be? :)
People that only meet needs are people that always satisfied. Cause as they meet the needs of others their needs are met by God!
Contrary for those that always wanted needs to be met by others can never be satisfield cause one day they will realise the need they have is beyond what man can meet.

Prove it? look at the word of God itself
Proverbs 12:14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words, And the deeds of a man's hands will return to him.

John 6:35
35Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

Look it Mother Theresa alone all her life she have been giving and giving and giving, going around meetings many needs of people but comepare the frequency of us hearing her givings and her taking which has more weight? But afterall did Mother Theresa ever complain that no one love her, or neglect her? Atleast to what i have know of it is a straight definate NO! What a great attitude we can learn. A quote from her (Mother Theresa): "I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. "

Well, let alone decide the truth is.
We can choose what we want to be!

thinking....

moving on with tons of thoughts in mind:)
Good ? Bad?
Oh God!

I know I can, because I have a awesome Father which never fails to tell me I can:)
Thank you ABBA!

Finding way out!

I have a dream!
I have plan a route to that dream!
I started to walk on the route I planned.
But the deeper i walk the more unsure I became.
Should I turn back? Should I continue? Should I stop?
How to get to that dream without following the route i plan?
How to get to the destination without walking the way i felt is right?
Fear supposed but not until a voice came.
It lit up the road again!
I saw a new route to that destination.
No doubt I am moving on.
With that new map at hand.

Many times we often thought that what we think it should be it must be.
But there is always a greater wisdom!

where is my 1dollar?

finding for my ji ko(hokkien)!
where is my 1 dollar?
Can I find my ji ko?
Can I find my 1 yuan?
Maybe? Maybe not?
But I still hope for it...

Self identity

Our direction in life always move along with who you think you are.

All the defination, principles and reasoning in life is a based on what you think.

It's all is in your mind.

To my own interpretation:

The greatest problem with those people that always confesses failure is not the fear of failure but rather the fear of how people will look at them when they fail. What they are really doing is that to lower the expectation of others so that even if they would fail, there will always be a word of encouragement and not judgement on what they did not achieve. But didn't did they realise as they keep this habit of negative confession soon it became a lie in their life and un-knowingly it appear to them as truth and soon they will find it hard to resist that belief or i should say that "lie" that they said.

But why would people even want to do that? Again this goes down to their self-identity, the foundation of their self-identity.

Some people build their foundation on beliefs, some on people's opinion, some on achievement and some on culture. Of course there can be more but to me these are the main. So what is the foundation of your identity? No matter what, build on something that is constanst, stable and never fail.Cause if your foundation fail all things will eventually fall just like a building. As for me, I thank God that i found Jesus! His word never fail! And i know when i trust and build my life on His word i would be safe and secure of who I am thus failure to me no longer has a foot-hold in my life. I do fail but i don't lose my identity. Sun shine or rain i am still who i am. I am still Rachel Isabelle the child of God! I still believe that i can have better life.

Being happy and be happy

Happy leader will have happy CG happy member will have growth.

Want to learn more!

I am eager to learn more.
I just don't feel that i had learnt enough.
So much things that i want to learn more about but time just didn't allow.

Lesson learnt:
To lead and not to drive.
Love and care is far better than harsh scoldings.
You need to fullfill more that just goals and tasks to make a relationship complete.
Relationships preceeds ministry.
A loving sheperd draws his sheeps to him but a fiery ones scattered all that he has.

Crying Out For HELP!

wow alot of things seems to be happening in CG. ATTACKS ATTACKS ATTACKS!
Haiz. Comon those who have eyes let him see what is the state of the CG. Already i am trying my best protecting the CG and yet there are still some people trying to break the unity of the group!HEy WAKE UP YOUR IDEAS! You can don't protect the CG tgt with me but atleast don ATTACK IT!
hahaha i can hear alot of agreement from people who knows my state!
Qmei:WOAH! Rachel seems to be angry
I am not motivated by anger in fact i am not angry at all. But i don't denial that i am really sadden in my heart. News after news of different battle arising just set my heart sink.
But Praise GOD! I draw closer with Him and i know He is watching over me days and nights.
He is with me stroking my head wiping the tear off my eyes when i cry. He is speaking words of encouragement and healing into my hearts when i am down. He never leaves me nor forsake me in any situation. And i know He, my Lord, my Refuge, my Hope, my Jesus is walking with me in this fight of faith.:)Thank You Lord and i love you forever!

All right enough of my fuss!hahaha. Nagger Rach never change her nagging stlye. So sorry abt it.
ok! So before i end let me post you some like hearted question and do tag and answer the QN for me k?


Which situation is harder for a mother?

C2: Her child run away from home and loses the contact.

Please leave your answer in the tag borad!hahah thanks. If can pls also jot down what is the best solution of both situation.Thanks for the help!

you sure you need?

I guess I just think too much.
Everything can be just behind the mask.
Stop being naive RACHEL!
Wake up!!
God how I wish I got it wrong in my discernment for that.
Lesson learnt:
1) Love God trust only in Him.
2) Love people with unconditional love.
3) Learn to give a benefits of doubt.

Perhaps~
I've shield the wrong person
arrowed the wrong man
I am not perfect but i am learning from a perfected MAN so please pardon me cause I am still learning.

Somnus my love!

I am just resting my mind after a long time of digesting all the programming language. So was sufing the net, went to blogs, to wikipedia then to blogs again. Was quite inspired or rather amaze by how sherin could find so much good deals online. >.<..... So i went to ebay too! Actually i got nothing in mind that i want at first! But after much sufing i saw this--------->

I love it! wooohooowwooow!But is real ex! Is about US22. Is madness to me! haha.Anyway this is Somnus. For those of you have watch the show "My Lucky Star" will know what is this. I am attracted to this ever since i watched that show. I was just wondering if they would really sell this out and gosh! They did! ahhhhhahhh! It is totally briliant to mix a ear stuned in a braclet(atleast to me it is). Targeting this next month! Hmmm...Find it weird to see myself shopping and posting blog entries in this manner. It's just not me to do that. But i guess afterall it doesn't really matter:)

Great Day!

Went for morning prayer today at HOG. Was shock by the 'pack-ness' of the place but nevertheless it was great after all. God is good indeed. Thought that today would probably have to reach my work place late and end my end work late again but guess what? I met Jo.haha she offered to send me to TPY. YEAH! So end up i reach my work place at 8am. wow! Thanks Jo!
Also today my boss's boss bring the entire department of 42 people out to lunch. And i really enjoyed! We ate yusheng, Sharkfin, heye fan, Yao cai ji, thai sweet mango fried fish, Vegs, jam prawn,Sweet & vinegar pork rib, special wuxiang and Apricot dessert. Total of 10 dishes. I am super full. And i guess everyone is full except for Richard :x.
Boss's boss also gave each one of us an "Ang Bao".But of coz inside got no money but a lottery ticket.(sigh! -___-) But still thank God for the wonderful meal. Delicious!
You think that's all that make my day great no. There are more!God always blesses us abundantly! haha.
Boss's boss give us early off. So today work till 4PM yeah! Praise God! I was actually quite troubled about how to get my O'lvl cert from my secondary school today. As today is the last day to send in my qualification to NIE. But my sec school closing at 430pm -.-" and i suppose to end work at 545pm. But God just simply turn my situation aroud! Wooh Hallelujah! I just experienced myself Matt 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added onto you! I am glad that i choose to wake up early and go for the prayer meeting today:). God never short-change me!

One of Us

If God had a name, what would it be

And would you call it to his face

If you were faced with him in all his glory

What would you ask if you had just one question

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make his way home

If God had a face, what would it look like

And would you want to see

If seeing meant that you would have to believe

In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints

And all the prophets and...

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is goodYeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make his way home

Tryin to make his way home

Back up to heaven all alone

Nobody callin on the phone

cept for the pope maybe in rome

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make his way home

Just tryin to make his way home

Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to heaven all alone

Just tryin to make his way home

Nobody callin on the phone

cept for the pope maybe in rome

Though i don't quite agree with some parts of the lyrics but still it is a nice song.

God is not alone in heaven that's for sure.And yes! He do have a name.He is Jehovah God.

Take a break

Trying to take a break from work again.
Feeling rather tired now, after all the asp.net coding and debugging.

Cherishing my every moment as a youth now.
.......
Rachel's philosophy:
1-2= baby
3-6 =todler
7-12= children
13-20= youth
anything great than 21= adult
* no offense simply just rachel's philosophy you can disagree with that and still going heaven hahaha.

Thoughts that Caught

Extracted from conversation with Mar:

Often what God wants you to do is package together with what you don't want to do.

Wow... isn't it true....

Extracted from Sermon of Othniel:

Your pass will always tries to make a come back in you life. It will pull you out from the good life that God have prepared for you.

ooh.. this can sound scary right.. but that's the truth.. if you don't deal with your past they will deal with you. So be careful. Keep a look out where you have leave ur past izzit still in your mind?

Extracted from Driven by Eternity:
Don't just read for a mental understanding, which can be easily forgotten or lost but let His Word be hidden in your heart through comtemplating and prayer.

sick and tired of reading the bible without understanding? why not try it with comtemplating and prayer it works!
.....................

What is in truth declared unreachable to our natural mind is placed in our heart by the Creator. Eternity is known in our heart.

this sounded rather deep isn't it. to me it means not everything on earth can be understand by our mind but rather by heart. No one can know God through natural understanding it is from within the heart that we know who is HE.

WHO CARES?

haha.. woohoo 2008 have past and 2009 has just began.
And the very first thing that i want to blog about is not about me but rather HIM!
I dedicate my first post to Him that i am and i hope will always be loving HIM.

Who is Him?
some people knew Him as a gentlement that is caring and thoughtful to all
some people knew Him as an artist that loves to creates very creative things
some people knew Him as a novelist that create touching story for real
some people knew Him as a repairman that could repair all things that are broken
some people knew Him as professor that know all things under the sun
some people knew Him as a doctor that can cure all sickness by His prescription
some people knew Him as a generous man that loves to give to others
some people knew Him as a lawyer that loves to debate for the righteous
some people knew Him as a crazy man that alway do things that are beyond human understanding

But who cares? how people think about Him is no longer important to me when He is already everything to me.
Praise God!
