Tell Laura I love HER...

Laura and Tommy were lovers

He wanted to give her everything

Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stock car race

A thousand dollar prize it read

He couldn't get Laura on the phone

So to her mother Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her

Tell Laura I may be late

I've something to do, that cannot wait

He drove his car to the racing grounds

He was the youngest driver there

The crowed roared as they started the race'

Round the track they drove at a deadly pace

No one knows what happened that day

How his car overturned in flames

But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck

With his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her

Tell Laura not to cry

My love for her will never die

And in the chapel where Laura prays

For Tommy who passed away

It was just for Laura he lived and died

Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her

Tell Laura not to cry

My love for her will never die

Tell Laura I love her.....

Marriage Passbook

Jocelyn married William this day. At the end of the wedding party, Jocelyn's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With $1000 deposit amount. Mother: 'Jocelyn, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with William. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

Jocelyn shared this with William when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made. This was what they did after certain time: - 7 Feb: $100, first birthday celebration for William after marriage - 1 Mar: $300, salary raise for Jocelyn - 20 Mar: $200, vacation trip to Bali - 15 Apr: $2000, Jocelyn got pregnant - 1 Jun: $1000, William got promoted . . . . ..... and so on...

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love... Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Jocelyn talked to her Mother: 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!' Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

Jocelyn thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind.

Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home. When she was home, she handed the passbook to William, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce. The next day, William gave the passbook back to Jocelyn. She found a new deposit of $5000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happieness you've brought me.' They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe. Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone through all the good years in their life.

Trust and Obey

When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will, He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way

To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,

But His smile quickly drives it away;

Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,

But our toil He doth richly repay;

Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,

But is blessed if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove the delights of His love

Until all on the altar we lay;For the favor He shows,

for the joy He bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,

Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;

What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;

Never fear, only trust and obey.

Let's hear it!

When can I go HOME?

Hey COME ON, I am not ALONE

As I listened to this song, “What Child this is”, I am touched with tears. I can feel the Father is ministering to me through this song. And I read Pst Chip Ingram’s blog – Living on the Edge which once again reminded me on surrendering my all to HIM. A verse shared by him which encourages me…

"The Lord God is a sun and a shield, the Lord gives grace and glory, no good thing he withhold from those who walk up rightly." Psalm 84:11

I was just thinking back on that joyful day when I accepted Christ in TPBC. The angels must be singing and cheering just like that night when Christ was born. Man can now live forevermore because of Christ. AMEN!!!

The bible says that only Christ understands what we are going through because He Himself has been there done that.

Incidentally, it is also Pst Chip Ingram who taught me that the very 1st step to begin a lasting relationship is to walk in love like my Father. Be imitators of Christ. Alas, I have failed even this 1st step and still wondering in looking for the RIGHT person. You will never find the RIGHT person, cs. You NEED to become the RIGHT person.

As I was showering just now, I realized this as if the Holy Spirit was speaking to me since many months when I am in US. Finally, I realized this… Trust in my Father and surrender to HIM today…

what CHILD is this

What Child is this who, laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary!

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
The Cross be borne for me, for you;
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The babe, the son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
Come peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise, the song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby;
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The babe, the son of Mary!

Life in US all this while

I think it has been a really long while since I have updated this blog with my own words, thoughts and life experience sharing. Honestly speaking, I went through a really unique experience in US. A really unique one which I will never ever forget for the rest of my life. It is true… Maybe not for eternity when I am with my Father again but definitely when I am in this School of Life.

I need to record what I am going through right now so that I can know what to share with my brothers and sisters back in Singapore. Too much information to share can sometimes lead me not to know where to begin.

General revelation of my Father is what I am seeing all this while in US. Large Canyons, beautiful lakes, rivers and huge rocks. It is revelation after revelation after revelation of the Father’s work. I do not know what words to use to describe His Master Piece and yet many times I confess that I still argue with Him on why He is putting me through the challenges in life here on earth.

Now while in the car on my way to Idaho Falls, I took out my laptop to write this entry. Not much of my reflection which I admit that I have not been doing for a long while but it is more like an update of my life here in US although very few people back home is really interested in.

It is really sad that I covet for my ‘EVE’ and failed to see my Father in many ways. Why am I still coveting when I already have my Father? Why? Why? Why? I do not know. After missing weddings after weddings after weddings back home, I think I am a 'cursed' man. Simply 'cursed'. By the time I am back home, I will have lost all my talking points with my friends because they have all entered a new phase of life and talking about how to love their wives more, family planning and raising kids. Haha.

Supposedly, I am commissioned to lead a victorious life in Christ but I am not and I also am finding out the reason behind this. I think I should spend more time in God’s Word since I have failed to feed on His Word daily and I am indeed missing out on my daily nutrition. (Mat 4:4) Oh man, my brothers & sisters in Christ back home, pls kindly pray for me to have more time with our LORD here. Pls do not merely say it in your MSN that God is with me. It is no use to me and all of us know this in our hearts, don’t we?. Pls do something more practical (in my opinion) which is to pray for me, ok? Thank you.

The second night when I first moved into my Boise APT, I broke down in front of the LORD. I do not know if I am too lonely or what. I just feel that I am too lost without someone talking to me. One of my primary love language is Quality Time but now is I have no one (no physical person) with me at the moment to spend quality time with me.

Dear LORD, I am sorry that I covet for my ‘EVE’. I pray for your forgiveness and let me take on the rest of my journey in this life with YOU alone, facing the challenges ahead to earn for YOUR crown in my Heavenly home. AMEN.
