Christmas & New Year

This Christmas, is the first time I will be away from church since I baptised in year 2003. I told Aunty Ruth that I felt hard to be away from church. The thought of staying in the church kept spinning in my mind until I have a burden heart to leave church. Then Aunty Ruth says, "Get out! Leave your comfort zone and be a disciple to spread the gospel to outsiders." She is right. Stop being a spoilt child and staying in a comfort zone.

Of course if you are around at church this year, do not feel offended with my words. This is just come around my case here. You are at church this year, with a purpose that God granted this year. And for me, I am sharing that I've got chance to leave the church to be outside this year. If that is the case, just uphold in prayer. "God, please grant me exra strength, wisdom and protection as I am going out." I remember Huang Mei Lian said in her testimonial video, "When you could not change the environment surrounding you, please pray that God will grant you extra strength to face the environment surrounding you."

After Christmas, another occasion is approaching- New Year. This new year, I will be away to Ireland. I will visit North and South Ireland. This might be my last europe vacation before going back to Malaysia in January 2009. May God grant me a wonderful holiday, with a purposeful holiday. May God open my eyes and sensitivity to the needy to your eternal gift. I know I am a cracked pot in His eyes, but pray that God will accept my serving to Him... continue to mold me and cleanse me everyday. Renew my heart O Lord.
