Zhijian aka Zest shared his testimony about his life to the upper secondary students. It was a fantastic testimony and of from his heart.
Many of my colleagues came back to me and told me that it was a great testimony. I was shocked to see the extent of this response. But I praise God that Zhijian managed to share his life and about Christ from the stage to the upper secondary population of about 700 students! Praise be to God.
I hope many of the students will and do understand the journey of christianty may not be easy but has to go on. Else, we are all but slaves to this world. Jesus loves us all!
Just an update on my dad.
He is currently warded and needs a heart bypass operation. 3 of his exiting vessels from his heart is badly blocked. They are 100%, 95% and 80+% blocked. Thus, he needs to undergo the sugery.
Thank God that at least it was discovered before any serious things occurred, say, stroke or a heart attack. In this aspect, it is really a joy!
He will undergo the operation on 2nd August in the afternoon. I pray and hope that many of you will help offer your prayers to him as well.
I believe he will be well. He is a good man and should enjoy his life. Do pray for my mother as she is easily worried and gets into nervous bouts. She cried and woke up disturbed and stuff. As I journey htough all these, I still know and believe God is good to me. I need to get some work done so that I may leave earlier to visit him later.

Jeremiah 29:11 to 14---
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."
What a constant struggle to do what the Lord wants me to do. I know He has plans for me, to prosper me and bless me. However, I know that I want to please myself by doing as I please. In the end, this is not the right thing to do as it does not build what is eternal. It does not do me any good in the long run. People not of the faith does not understand what it all means but it's normal. It all seems foolish to them. I need to hang in to the promises of God and keep trusting Him. Do pray along with me and for me!
In the quietness of the office now at 645pm, I have my own time and space to slow down and reflect the day. I tried to wake up this morning to seek Him but how weak my flesh was. He reminded me once again how much He loves me and that only He can satisfy me. I do not need to worry and do not need to be afraid that I am not accepted by Him. He will draw me back and hold me in His arms as long as I cry out to Him. There is hope!
I realised from one student when I asked her why is she on a self-destrcution mission that many a times, we feel unworthy to accept love, unworthy to accept ourselves for who we are. Indeed, we are SHIT. This, I do not deny. For without Christ and God, we are worthless beings, capable of nasty and malicious destructive forces. This student wanted to give up on herself and wish that people around her to stop caring for her. However, if she looks deeper, she wants love and she wants care but she feels unworthy and shuns away. Such is the irony of life!
We all want love and care from people around us. How often we miss the fact that this is easily available through God. I went through a lot of these emotional rides throughout my secondary school and JC days. Even when I was in Uni, I was not spared. Even now, I do get my fair share. It's life's emotions. Even when we have a mate, it does not mean we are necessarily spared from this. Acceptance and receiption of love is so complicated yet simple.
What I am saying is this: Life is simple yet difficult. It is about running the race towards a vision with perseverance. Many give up in this race of life because of its difficulty. Oh well... Gotta go. Will continue again. Me need to go fetch my parents home.

I wish to pray for you and bless you. Would you be keen to be blessed? Drop me a line. I will get back to you asap. It's just a prayer for you. Nothing much...
My computer at home has problems logging into my blog. Now, I am trying to blog in school to see how it goes.
How has life been?
I also dunno where to start. Busy, upset and at a loss.
My heart yearns to find a mate, a soul mate but life is not all about that. It is about pleasing God. However, it's a constant struggle between what He wants to give in His time and what I now.
So many frustration with my class as well. They just don't seem to grow up. Oh well... I also at my wits end at times on how to care for them. Just feel like scolding them so often... How? How?
Complaints are not getting me anywhere. I shall go back to my work. Update more later.
