I feel like yelling out!!!! Just couldn't get the stringing adjustment right. Blogging is da onli way where i can get personal and pour it out. At the same time of not being a problem maker to frens whom i share my stuff with. This RSL stringing machine is so so difficult to adjust man...Yannade...Has been going to the distributor for countless times for advise but i just couldn't get it. His name is Din and he's like quite patient in da beginning until i call him so often that he lost some of his temper although he didn't show it out. It has to be so precise and neat or else the string will pull back and looses it's tension. Not only that the string will create gaps when contacted with the shuttlecock. Ah! Has been trying to get it right for dunno how many hours and sweat untill my shirt all got wet. And still the same. Ah! So frustrating man. Suppose to be a good week where i'll get my internet connection, getting to string the racquet properly, and God speaking to me in a reli clear way. Somehow or rather things just get in between and i lost my touch with Him for a few days. Didn't manage to reflect. Ah! God is amazing in revealing His ways to me as i recall.God is good! =). But this 2 main stumbling block(stringing and internet connection) got in the way. 1stly the man who suppose to fix my com should have done it earlier but he keep on procrastinating fixing other ppl's com. He get on my nerves and he keep on asking me to wait for him to come and get it fix for me but he never show up at all until i go and find him. Ah! In the end the internet connection tak jadi..Ah! Coz couldn't reach my shop. (Wireless connection). Ish. That IT man is from India and he will be leaving to Chennai, India this coming Sunday. For those who went to India for mission trip u can follow dat guy along. Let me know if u are interested k? I 'll give u further details. Aha. blablabla.. OK..that's the 1st one..and we go to 2nd wan..jeng jeng jeng.. Stringing adjustment...Ah! so so frustrating...speechless.
Okok..dat aside. Alright, at least tonight i have something to look forward to...going to cg..yay..it's where i'll get to hear God speak once again.. Something to shout out LOUD about.. refreshed and be rejuvenated. Looking forward for a good time in church this weekend.. "undignified dancing around". ahaha. Listen to Matt Redman wei..=)
So dead tired now..feel like sleeping..suffer another 2+ hours and yay..freedom...freedom..And yeah, it is good that God actually created Sabbath, a day of rest for us. After a week of so much happenings, it is good to come back to Him. Reflect and recall of the many things which He has done for us. Sabbath was made for the good of our well being. Or else we will be just existing and not living life as what it meant to be. I can sense those words comin out from God.."Stop your work". "U can work for 6 days but the 7th day is to be a day of rest". Do not be chasing after money like those who doesn't know God, who will work all their lives pursuing after material wealth. Yes i realize that our life is more than money in a better way now. Relationship matters much to God and i am guilty of it. My cousins, aunties and uncles, mum, frens, and neighbour..all of them. Recalling one fo the bible verse that says, if u do not care for those of your own one's u are worse than the pagans..something like dat. I think i need some rebuking here for simply twisting da word of God.aha. Correct me.
Ok, think i shud stop here. Didn't expect to write such a long post. It's good that when i start to pour myself out soem things just came into my mind, recalling some of the good things that happened to me. God is awesome! It has been a good exercise for my brain too..dead cells starting to reform new ones..Yay! Hasn't been studying for a long time and need to get back to study..exam in May. Ah!
Ciao and God bless u guys. Have a blessed weekend worshipping God. =)

Meekness
Matthew 5:38-42
An Eye for an Eye 38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Numbers 12:1-9
Miriam and Aaron Oppose Moses 1Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman. 2And they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it. 3Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth. 4And suddenly the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting." And the three of them came out. 5And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. 6And he said, "Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. 7Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. 8With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" 9And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed.
Meekness as someone defines it is the willingness to to give up your own feeble, finite strength and put your life into His hands. When you do, nothing can prevent Him from extending to you His boundless, unquenchable, and eternal wisdom, love and power.
.To be meek is not to surrender our right; but it is the preservation of self-control under provoking circumstances. There is no hint of the spirit of retaliation MEEKNESS will not allow emotions and passion to take the reins of the heart.
Now I understand better the attitude of Moses as he wrote of himself being the meekest man upon the earth. He knew himself, and he knew Christ. Choosing the life of God, he had acquired the spirit of a learner. Moses never thought more highly of himself than he ought; therefore, he could write accurately about himself by God's leading. Note, this statement made by Moses, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, would not have been regarded by the people of his time as a commendation. Being considered as a weakness in character, it would rather have excited pity or contempt in their perverted minds. But Moses was called by Yahweh the meekest man upon the face of the whole earth.
Now the man Moses was very humble,(meek) more than any man who was on the face of the earth.)

Yes, meekness. Lord, just at the right time. (JIT) . Thanks. I would have taken things on my own hands and end up losing everything. Vengeance is yours.

Spiritual attack
There’s something more than meet the eye. More than the physical. Sense that da spiritual realm is so so real..Satan is ALWAYS THERE to trip and tempt us. Satan is at work, he’s da prince of this world so long as we live here on earth. For we are not fighting against the flesh but against the spiritual war out there. So long as we do not follow God den we are under constant attack from Satan. An experienced which i encountered and have even fallen into. A test of integrity.
Job 1:6-7
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Question for thought..
Can Satan come into the holy presence of God where sin and holiness is concern?
