Hey guys! Just watched "Facing the Giants" for the second time! It's a really beautiful and touching movie about how a rugby coach's life (family, career, faith) is transformed as he believes in God in his most toughest times. You should watch it, seriously!!
I'm just amazed at how God uses the weak, the disadvantaged, to magnify and show his might and strength. Personally, this is something that is very touching because it's something I've experienced for myself. Ahhh, I can never explain it in detail how beautiful the movie is unless you watch it for yourself!
Things are getting better, thankfully. Everything. (:
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven."
Lord, thank you for all your blessings, for all that you've provided for me. You've once again shown me how privileged I am, and how wonderful you are through the perfect plan you've set for me. Help me not to rely on physical food but on that which is spiritual and comes from every word of the living God. Help me to hunger and thirst for your word as I seek meaning and consolation from it. Help me always to rely on your strength and put in my best in all that I do, as I face the giants in my life. Help me not fear also, but to put my every confidence in your will. Help me to trust in You and believe that whatever the outcome is, it is the best that You hope for us. Lastly, thank You Lord, for the pillars of strength and role models that You've placed in my life, from which I can seek comfort, solace and support, and learn from respectively. You simply amaze me O Lord, through the way you show your greatness, your might, your glory by using the seemingly weak, small and insignificant, albeit strong and faithful in heart, soul and spirit, around me. Help me to learn from these.
Amen.

Yea when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I...I look at you
When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I...I look at you
"They had rowed about three or four miles, when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and he was drawing near to the boat. They were frightened, and he said to them, 'It is me; don't be afraid.'
Lord, you're just so wonderful to show me comfort through your Word when I needed it most. Help me O Lord, not to be afraid. Give me the courage to go through it with You.
Confused, distraught.

There is no end to the gifts
God gives us in life.
The great act of faith lies
in coming to understand that -
even when we cannot see it.
"They filled large baskets with the scraps left over from the meal of five barley loaves."
Lord, help me to always recognise and appreciate your goodness in blessing us with the many gifts we don't deserve. At times, I may look towards what I do not have rather than what I have. When this happens, help me realize and offer you my thanksgiving. Amen.

Hello!! It's been ages, yeah. In short, JC is getting even more tiring but is still awesome, with PIs, projects, videos, speeches coming up.
Well, I'm now a provisional instructor of the 27th ODAC batch! Woots, my hard work paid off. But with every victory there's a loss. That's life, isn't it? Sometimes, things just don't go your way and you get disappointed. What is admirable is that you get to your feet, take a new breath of life, and move on. And that, my friends did, and earned my respect (: I'm behind you people all the way!!
Of course, there's a sad note too. I've been assigned as photog IC. And i just feel I'm more capable than that. I wanted land chief, but I just feel my workload has been really heavy, such that I didnt even tell my batch mates what I wanted. Sigh, I'm just afraid I may become distanced from the rest, and that shouldn't be the way.. I really felt I needed an explanation. I feel I'm worth more than that, given what I felt was a very good post-OLC evaluation given by my seniors, but given my position, how am I going to prove myself? I'm not involved in any organization or planning of events.. How am I even going to run for exco, if I don't even know what's the impression I give to my batch mates, or how much I need to prove myself which I dont even know whether I can given my role.
I don't want to portray myself as a complaisant type. Just suck it up then. And I'm trying not to think about it, maybe God's trying to give me a break. Yeah. I really need it. After all, we're a batch. Sigh.
The word of God, the presence of Jesus comes to us through every dimension of life. When we block any of those by pride or prejudice, we miss the opportunity to see the works of God in fresh new ways.
