2010 - The Best Year Yet !

Gosh ... I just realized that I've had this blogger account since October 2003 and this is my first post, some 6+ years later ! Haha ...

Anyway, that's not important. At least this is a milestone for me !

As I was walking home after sending Dear off at the bus-stop, I mentally planned what I wanted to do tonight. If I had blogged the entire list down, I'd probably end up doing none of them. So I decided to just get down to blogging my thoughts down quickly. I think I've learnt my lesson, after years of procrastination, after years of "careful planning" in wanting the things I wish to accomplish turn out the way I visualized them to be. I think it is more important to seize the moment and make adjustments along the way ... Am I wrong ? Yes ? No ? Let's wait n see ...

I wanted to start my first blog with a reflection of the past 30 years of my life ... BUT there's something more important that takes centrestage.

Today was Pastor Kong's 1st Sunday Service in 2010 at CHC with us ... He shared not only an exciting message but THE best news yet to come ! He announced that CHC is finally gonna get that dream building that they've been praying for, planning and working towards for the past 4 years ? Sorry if I got the calendar of events wrong, I'm only less than a year old in CHC but nonetheless I'm totally excited. After years of backsliding, I made my way back into a place I'm confident I'd grow in and truly belong ! What a way to start the year indeed - such great news !

The message he shared today, was leading towards this big announcement. Indeed it was so true and timely for me as he spoke about 4th Dimension Living - 1. Thinking 2. Visions & Dreams 3. Faith 4. Speaking

He shared from Luke 1 - The story of Zacharias and his lack of faith in prayer. "A moment of Zacharias" as he termed it, can really be so dampening to our faith as we ask, yet we fall short to believe that we will receive. Mark 11:24 says "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you will have them." It struck my heart immediately like an arrow piercing through, answering the thought and fear that had been lingering on my mind since the beginning of 2010.

I truly believe that God shall provide for my (our) needs, according to His riches and glory and as I seek His kingdom first, all shall be added unto me.

Now ... anyone care to contribute to my own Building Fund other than this year's and the coming years' Arise and Build ? :D
