Alvin's Post!

Yoz! i am back for some "SHORT" updates! (short version will be in color words)

Realising in the year of Sabbath, i become even busier!

monday- Ntu open cell
wednesday- G12
friday- EJA cell
saturday- study group + TPE group + project group
sunday- Church

worse still, i need to constantly handle the boys' problem like problems in schools, not doing QT, not replying my sms!! not forgetting i also have my own problems.. so i really treasure the time i spend either at home with family or meeting up with Great men with Great faith!

I grumble at times, "Where's my REST God!!? aren't we supposed to have REST???"

For all the while, we sometimes mistaken in our ways or forgotten to rely on God.. we need to be honest with ourselves and truthful to God that we indeed are really wrong in our attitudes and thinkings.. Thus I really repented for this lousy attitude for REST = Private Time (Doing things i like).. instead, Rest only comes when we come close to God.. God sustains us even through storms in life! For those who trust only in themselves will perish.. just like sheeps destine to death.. But those who Trust in Him will be redeemed! Amen!

For all these, i realised that God is working through me.. For, i will see all these daily work as "duty" or "chore" when i am looking in my own personal view.. BUT i will see an exciting challenge and CONQUEST of life transformation if i see it in God's view..

it's really a good revelation in the mind and for my life.. indeed i am already resting upon the Lord by holding His words in my life! Yes, i do feel tired physically but all i need is sleep.. But in order to rest your life spiritually, we need God!!! so do intentionally meet Him by spending time with Him and listen to Him.. indeed, i am excited to in this year of Sabbath bcoz it's only the 8th week and things are so happening already! cannot really imagine what will the things be coming for the following months.. Eejay forms his G12? hehe.. (YES, it's YOU not me!) my boys become fathers of spiritual sons? (WAH PIANGz! Up la!) we all packing up the whole magic box! (More lives to be saved)

so i shall leave with Isaiah 58:13-14, mediate upon it brothers! indeed this is going to be the verse that we will learn to go in God's way and rest in Him through storms of life this year!

"13 It you keep Your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbth a delight and the LORD's holy day honourable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, 14 then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob."

the mouth of the LORD has spoken ONCE AGAIN!

Pray that our lives can be an inspiration for more lives to come! God's Kingdom Mentality!!
Jiayou Jiayou Bro Bros!!!

Amen! Thanks for sharing bro! Appreciate hearing from you! :)

Truly, am also beginning to see and go through it myself that YOS doesn't mean relax and shake leg, but rather in the midst of many more things to do, we choose to do it in the light of God and His presence. :)

Yeah, let's make evvery effort to meet up! Must surround ourselves with men of crazy faith to spur one another on. :)
