Fresh start


Sometimes, being humbled down makes you, I would say much, much more obedient to your authorities. It just breaks your pride, it happened to me, I guess God have to break my pride bit by bit to show who’s boss right now. It kinda happens in the same way with my own earthly dad. I felt so scared, so intimidated, and yeah, so obliging at the same time. Things have not been good lately, and I planned to put some things into motion and to stop some things for a while to reflect back and gain a new and fresh start. Perhaps, a new vision.

Hopefully, the changes I make will be impactful and fruitful in my life too.

Open the Eyes of Hearts Lord~!

I believed that at times, we really want our eyes and heart to see what is going on around us. I been like that recently, trying to be sensitive to everything that's been going on. Trying not to be self centered (still learning)

Try to put yourself in other people's shoes and feel what they could have felt in whatever situation, ask God for that heart. Most importantly, I learnt that ask for God's heart too, cause He will start to pour His heart out from time to time. He will do it in His time. Yeah Amen to that! :)

A reminder~



(Verse 1)
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Verse 2)
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Bridge)
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Lord I offer you my life

ThePlan11- Day 3


It’s been great for the last few days, sad to say I couldn’t blog everything about it on time, either I am too tired or do not have the sufficient time to do it.

During the 3rd day of the conference, the bible exposition that was discussed based on Jonah chapter 2 and 3 spoke about Jonah repenting in the belly of a fish, how was it like in there? I also want to know how will it be swallowed by a fish, who won’t?

Being in that stomach for 3 days and 2 nights reminds me so much of Jesus’ resurrection after 3 days and 2 nights of being in that tomb. Praise the Lord! Anyway, after he repented, God ordered the fish to spit him out to dry land, it was pretty much really like God’s heart to do something of the sort, this shows that God is ever loving, gracious, slow to anger, compassionate, and abounding in love. Each of this has its own meaning that defines what my God is all about. How I hope that I could have God’s heart to love His people, for His people. I so badly want it. J

What caught my attention in this Jonah chapter 2 was about how he prayed when he was in distress. He looked to God and not find any solution elsewhere. He believed with all his heart that if he will be safe and relieved of his frustration and whatever situation he was in. This verse shows it



“When my life was ebbing away,

I remembered you, LORD,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.

8 “Those who cling to worthless idols
turn away from God’s love for them.
9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the LORD.’”


So yeah, not to mention that God won’t change His mind and He will remind us again and again when He has called us to be. And another thing about God is that when He started to be compassionate for the people and He changed His mind when the Ninevites repented of their sins and their past. Wow I could only say! And God desires from us a 100%, I decided that I should start to slowly give my time bit by bit to Him a 100% although it’s not easy to begin with.

Besides that, I have attended 2 workshops, one was titled Politics and Missions, and another was Social Media. I personally enjoyed the Social Media workshop since it actually relates to me really well, but for the Politics and Missions workshop, it enlightens me a lot that I should pray in this field and yeah, be in the know of stuff, I as a Malaysian, could do much here in transforming this nation, and partly helped in claiming Malaysia for You, Jesus.

I am getting much more interested in blogging when I found out that I could actually get paid for it, I could use it to do great things for God…and yeah personally my own funding too J
At night, we have a session of Lift Up Our Eyes to the world, a planet where God has place in our care to reach out too, with God’s love. We prayed throughout that night that we could go wherever God send us to. And personally I want to!

Then after that night, we took a few pictures for remembrance since that was the last night for us all, before the last session the next morning. I was really glad that I could be there to learn about God’s heart, next thing I am aiming for is to really be in one short term mission trip, in God’s perfect time, I will make it there.

ThePlan11- Day 2


Today which will be day 2, the bible exposition started off with the book of Jonah in Chapter 1, where it spoke about Jonah who ran away from God because He didn’t want to preach against Nineveh. I believed that it wasn’t easy to speak to someone that you dislike so badly, I too have people in my life that I feared quite as much. I don’t despise the other party, it’s just that I do not have much love and compassionate which is even enough to pray for those around me.

 God kept reminding me of the fact that if I have the resources and do not use them, what’s the point of even having them, and I was thought again about the blessings that were given to us so that we could be blessings to people around us, which also speaks of Israel being the centre of the world map for it will be the nation that pours blessings over the other nations around her.

I was challenge to break open my prejudice against certain group of people, I wonder if we or I for that matter have prejudices against others with different skin colour, how different am I compare to Jonah who was supposed to go over to preach against Nineveh.

There were 2 workshops that I attended today; I was supposed to pick out 2 from out of 4 workshops. My first and second choices were:

  1.      Can I be a student and still do missions?
  2.      Strategic prayers and Un-reached people

 At first, I wanted to take up Business, Works and Missions but someone told me that I should be picking something which is more relevant in wherever I am at the moment, to be more direct, pick up what seem to be the student approach rather than the working life approach. He seems right after I made the change, I was thankful that God send someone to tell me that I should be somewhere else rather than the choice that I made. Thank you God J

I feel like it’s not just necessary to do missions on the mission field but what we can do as students is to be able to mobilise missions as well, to encourage them financially, and moral support, being there for them. I have never realised how hard it was for the missionaries who were involve in the field, although I personally am involve in my own university Christian fellowship.

In strategic prayer and church planting, I learn a lot from the speaker, he thought us a lot on the spiritual mapping in certain situations where we can take advantage of it. And I started to believe that discipleship is a fundamental and crucial foundation in one’s live, it’s not just about salvation anymore but to follow up with them and enable them to have a relationship with our dear and loving God.

And I saw today how small the Christian group really is, and WOW the harvest are plentiful, I am hoping in my heart that by engaging the community, I could have real conversations, real friends, er…. I think let others know that I am serving a God of wonders, who is real and living and sovereign, which is also my creator J

I am just hopeful that I could continue to seek God for my calling, and while waiting I will serve Him and prepare my heart till the time has ripen for me to receive it, till then I will continue waiting and serving in everything that I do, I want to have good character and be competent in it. J

ThePlan11- Day 1


Today, I wanna say that it felt like DIFFERENT…

Not just because I am attending a conference, that’s why I say such things. I will start off with yesterday; when I was praying in the hall with the others during the sessions, it felt like something or someone was literally touching the part where my heart was, I seriously don’t know if it’s really God but I decided to believe that it was Jesus who touched my heart. Only that I started to wonder whether or not, something is about to happen to my life forever, like you know, people mention that when touched by God, their lives are transformed forever. I wonder if that’s really it. Truthfully speaking, I was actually expecting something from this conference but I have never exactly given it much thought about what I really want from here, leave here with what? That’s what I ponder about.

Few questions shot at me were;
  1.       What was I expecting to get after leaving this place? 
  2.      What can I contribute to the society/ country/ God’s kingdom after I leave this place?
  3.       What am I willing to die for? What am I willing to live for?

It was just in that sphere where I felt helpless?? I should say.

Looking at things that I should give up in order to carry God’s work within me, it felt like I have to give up on computer games, certain form of videos with wrong elements in them, things of the sort, I supposed. Besides that, I feel like giving it a try regarding politics and being on that mission field, I believed that it is somewhat a mission field that God is calling most of us to be in; it’s a tough mission field but not an impossible one.  Not exactly being on that mission field but I wanna know as much about that mission field, at least I am in the know and I understand the heart of God that way. 

Seriously, this is just the first day, so I am longing to know what I am here for, praise the Lord for sending me =\

Yet again, I am going to trust that the Lord is going to show me something through this conference, I just have to pray harder and looking harder with my heart.
