What happened on 29 Nov 2007...

Lets start with once upon a time... well... not really.. it was just like this:

Craig, Daniel and Joel went to help Adrian at the Sharity Gift Box 2007. So we met at Tiong Bahru MRT station at 10.45am (I wont say who was late.. xp) and got on the van Adrian was driving to the the place where they were supposed to collect the gifts for the people. Well... i'll say that the van really needs a good makeover... i wouldn't give details but you can always ask the guys if you really wanna know... lol... >_<

The destination was Millenia Tower and Centennial Tower, right next to each other... (so good, we didnt have to waste time travelling in that van.. =) ), but it had like... 30 to 40 storeys... O.O... Thank God we were only supposed to go to the 14th, 25th and 33th floor for Millenia Tower and storey 12 for Centennial Tower... sounds pretty easy right? Looking at the number of manpower (more than 10), and the number of vans (erm.. two.. but they were big...), we figured it was an easy job we can finish in no time...(yeah.. right.. dream on... =p)

When we got there, Craig and Daniel volunteered to wait at the main entrance while the rest of the guys (and gals) went up to the 14th floor to collect the stuff... the main entrance was super windy, so windy that according to Craig and Daniel, they had "free gel" for 20 mins...




"free gel"

After about 20mins (to Dan n Craig, it seemed like a long time as they were enjoying the wind so much), the guys came down, carrying loads of plastic bags... You would have wondered why (even if u didnt, nvr mind... now u must wonder) they didn't bring any trolleys.... well.. i think they forgot to bring.. but it was so little... we would have managed without the trolleys...


All was fine until we got to the 33th floor (we skipped 25 first)... what was before us in the first room was boxes and boxes of gifts that i also had lost count... It almost filled up the whole floor of the meeting room... and worse of all... there was.. 2 more rooms!!!! Thank God room 2 was very little.. but room 3 (I dunno if i should thank God a not..).. it was as packed as room 1.. that means that we had to make like about ten trips to bring all this down... sigh... =/ but thank God again, we managed to borrow 2 trolleys!!! =D


And so we transfered all the gifts to the lobby of the service lift (too many things so too unsightly for the public lifts..) and waited and waited and erm... waited... we were waitng for the lift to come but everytime there was always somebody there... and worst of all, the cleaner was stopping at every floor to collect the rubbish... >_< (remember.. there's 41 floors...) so finally.. on the third try and after a really long time (the aunty was filling our pockets with mentos and kept insisting we take more...) , the lift was empty and we started to again transfer the gifts into the lift... took around 15 mins and we still had to leave half of them at the lobby cos there was not enough space in the 23men lift (i told you there was ALOT of gifts), even though we stacked them till they were almost dropping... (now you believe me?!) Craig and Joel went down first leaving Daniel and some others behind... and they almost never heard of Daniel again!! haha... why? cos he only managed to come down around 45 mins later... even the 25th floor had been cleared out and packed in the van.. lol

And so the story goes on for the gifts the 25th floor and even at Centennial Tower....but one difference was that the quantity of the gifts were reasonable... phew!!! by the time we had finished and Adrian had drove back to HQ with a van packed to the brim, it was 3.30pm...


As there was no more space for us, we had to take a cab back... the first group was Craig, Daniel, Joel and a Primer named Kai Jie.. the second group was 3 guys and a girl i didnt know... as normal teenagers.. we were fighting for a cab... so the4 of us decided to stabd in front of the other group... thats when one guy came over and said something like this: "Hey.. can you guys be gentlemen anot?? we over there got girl so giv us the taxi k?" (what attitude...)


The fun started when we tried to flag down a taxi... It was during the changing shift for the drivers so we had many taxis going to different directions.... when one taxi did not want to fetch us, it went to the other group and they thought they got it only to be turned down again... lolz... it was until the 4th taxi that stopped that fetched the other group.. (see... we're gentlemen.. i mean.. erm.. some of us... cos some were protesting... >_<) we thought we would get a cab in no time...

Guess how many cabs went past us without stopping even though they were empty and not changing shift? 4.. 4EMPTY CABS!!!!!!!! AND THERE WERE EVEN MORE HIRED CABS!!!!! sigh... so we took some pics in the process... haha...



Candy haven!!!


Dan trying out his new pillow...


Craig just cant believe his eyes...


Craig, Daniel and Joel

So we waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited until Joel got fed up and called for our favourite hero to save the day.... (Superhero music)

And then came the hero... Ah Pa Adrain... In his (Ta-ta-ta-daaaa)...erm... van (not batmobile!!)... wearing a white shirt(no undies outside... as for inside.. erm.. u have to ask him...) and so we had another ride and experience of sitting in a hero's "supermobile" and got back just in time to... erm... eat... "lunner" and "dinch".. cos it was 5 pm and we havent eaten lunch nor dinner... (we have been surviving on those mentos given by the aunty)...

And so we went home hand in hand (just a phrase.. relax..nobody's holding nobody's hand), just the 3 of us.. Joel, Daniel and Craig... into the setting sun...



The End.

Direction For The Future

1) Word Of God

2)Clear Witness Of The Spirit

3)Counsel Of Godly Leaders

4)Cast A Lot - Toss A Coin

1) Word Of God

Ps 119:105 - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

We can usually know which way we should follow if we read the bible... e.g. between right and wrong.

2)Clear Witness Of The Spirit

Isaiah 30:21 - "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." "

John 10:27 - "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."

God speaks to us through our inner voice...
But sometimes is it the Holy Spirit or our own desires?

3) Counsel Of Godly Leaders

Pro 15:22 - Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

When in doubt, we can ask our Spiritual leaders... It is better than doing things that we are unsure about...

4) Cast A Lot - Toss A Coin

This is only after you carried out the first 3 steps and is still unsure... But once you throw, you must obey and follow it!


Another 4 Points About Your Future

1) Believe That God Has A Plan For You

Jer 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Eph 2:10 - For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

God already had our whole life carefully planned out to the finest detail...

2) Decide to Choose God Purpose

Rom 12:1-2 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

God's purpose is already there... It's only if we decide to choose it...

3) Trust That God Is In Control

Rom 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

We must have Faith... Without faith, it is impossible to trust God...

4) Develop An Intimate Relationshop With God

1 John 1:5 - This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

Daniel's birthday!!!!!!!!!

Daniel and his erm... fruit cake?? o.o


Yeah.. it's a fruit cake!!!! =)


An expertly cut piece of cake...lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL!!!!!

Csquare =p

Happy Birthday Dan!!!!

Blowing of cake

Trying to cut the cake

The expert...

Own or Disown?

Mark 14:30-31 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "today-yes, tonight-before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times."
But Peter insisted emphatically, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the others said the same.

Mark 14:66-72 (quite long so i'll jus summarise) Peter first was met up by a servant girl. "You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus," she said.
But... "I don't know or understand what you're talking about." 1st time.
Next, the girl then began to "gossip" on Peter to the people around her, "This fellow is one of them." But yet again.... "he denied it."
Lastly, the people around him started to question him, "Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean." And he did the same for the last time, "I don't know this man you're talking about." but also added a bit of swearing!("He began to call down curses on himself, and he swore to them")

At times in our lives, we often hear God or the good within us speaking to us to do the right thing. But also at times, Satan or the bad within us will tell us to do otherwise. And usually this times are the hard ones. We'd be put in a situation where we do not know wad to do and there are 2 condradicting voices. For me, I'd take the wrong way at times and find myself stumbling into a deep pit.

Disobedience is jus the same as disowning. Jesus is the truth. You reject the truth, you reject him. So if today you find urself struggling to climb up a deep pit, you'd know dat the first step is to always ask for forgiveness, repent and start the right way.

What i would try to do whenever i face such situations:-
1. Pray and commit into God's hands and read Bible for help from God
2. Share with spiritual parents(for me is Adrian)

God bless you brothers!
Daniel(dun wish to waste time xD)

Of God or God?

The bible are just words,
but the words speak about the Word.

In the beginning there was the Word.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.



Reflections:

Are we knowing God or of God ?

Note that the devil knows of God, but not God. By just reading the bible thoroughly, we know of God but not God.

According to Eph 6:17, the bible is just our sword. We need to be Fully Reliant On God (F.R.O.G) in order to possess the shield of faith, ultimately, knowing God.


God bless,

Hi guys! wanna share on my experience ytd in the pool... went swimming with my pa ytd at bedok.

there was one time i was swimming breastroke from on end to another end(50m) but as i was swimming i was tinking abt other stuff. soon later my mind was so clouded with this thoughts dat i din even noe i kept steering(swimming) to my right. when i suddenly realised dat, a guy swimming freestyle at max speed swooshed past my left side. omgosh, if i had not steered to the right, i would hav suffered some dmg to my head...

den i begin to ask myself. hw did i even noe dere was someone on my left incoming at a fast speed when i was tinking so much? den the thought abt thursday's cell at adrian's house reminded me on nxt yr's Sabbath. den i realised the meaning of "relaxing".

when i reached the end, not long after the guy passed by me, i started to calm myself down and get tings sorted out in my head. dats when i practised(subconciously, again) something i learnt at adrian's hse.

when we take a rest, it aint jus abt physcial recovery but its the recovery of your whole being. which includes ur body, soul and spirit. there are so many tings in life which hinders the process of recovering from our spiritual battles. it may be the failures or even the successes. failures can be the disppoinment and successes can the the sense of being "high and mighty" at times. always rmb dat whatever the outcome, God will still b there to heal you provide you with rest. Sometimes rest can also mean to strengthen. it gives u a sense of confidence which u mite have nvr felt b4. Coming Sabbath, we're gonna look at tings from a godly perspective and tings are going to be different. Dat is wad rest is about too. Afterall, we soldiers are still humans as long as we're on this colourful planet.

Praise the Lord!
Daniel/Daniao/BigBird/[Daniu/BigCow]
But also your life long bro. :D
