Truth or Dare



Was surfing around and came across this. It coincides with what I wrote in the afternoon today, which I want to share with everyone. God can be amazingly humourous sometimes. So here goes...



A revelation hit me today with regards to the game, truth or dare.This game is such a hit amongst people of all ages. To me, it's a game of choice. We make a choice while playing, a choice to tell the truth, another to play a dare (with reason you don't want to tell the truth).



What hits me is that if you choose to tell the truth, it means that you 'dare' to tell the truth and that you have to courage to do so and to face whatever critiques or sneers or smirks from your 'friends'. In this world that is filled with lies (white lies are still lies) it takes a daring person, a courageous person, a gutsy person to stand up to the truth. Jesus is one person that I know that never backed down when he was dared to tell the truth. The Pharisees dared him, and many times he took up the dare to tell the truth. He is the testimoney of truth. He lived the life of truth, and choice that he made and willing to carry it through. He died , he layed his life down for truth, for the choice he had made. It happened two thousand years ago.



Since then, many who are followers of Christ joined Him, taking up the dare and proclaim the truth. Many are persecuted for their choice. Many died for their choice. Even today, in neighbouring countries like China and Pakistan, thousands are still making that choice. And many are still being persecuted, being killed for their choice.



For us who live in a democratic world.. are we making that choice? I am willing to admit that I failed many times, the little white lies that I've said to my family, to my friends and to the people around me. It is a choice, a choice to be daring in telling the truth. Lots of times we shrank from telling the truth due to fear, fear for other's feelings, fear for what they think of you, fear for a whole heap more...Thus, we chose fear instead. But if we take that tiny step to tell the truth, we'll free ourselves from fear. I encourage you, and also myself to take up this dare from me. Tell the truth. Your truth makes a difference. Every truth that comes from our mouth frees us from fear, every truth that comes our from our mouth slices the devil, who is the father of all lies. So give it a try, tell the truth...



I DARE YOU!!













Amazement



  • thousands of Christians in Malaysia are praying and fasting
  • prayers are being said every minute and every hour
  • Malaysian Christians praying for countries around them
  • prayer = spiritual weapon from God
  • Christians in Malaysia is doing heavy battle in this 40 days fasting and prayer with the Devil and against his evil schemes
  • God is moving in this nation
  • God called me home
  • He has a purpose for me to play in this movement of His

I need to prepare myself and make myself available for God! That is what I want to do...

Father Lord, prepare my heart, take me in your arms again, whisper to me, for I am waiting for you.....

I am currently joining this 40 days fast and prayer which is carried out every year for a few years now. I am telling others not because I want to let you all see and know that I am fasting, but to ask you to join me in this 40 days of fasting and praying. Anyone of you all tired? Anyone of you all feeling burden? Wishing for a spiritual breakthrough (like me???), then join me in this. Let's give glory to God.

Reason For Not Blogging



I'm sure a lot of ppl must be wondering what happened to me. Well, I'm still alive and well, thanks for caring and for being around. My notebook is still can't be used. That's one of the reason why I'm not blogging as often (not that I am doing it often..). Another reason is I'm using a PC at the moment and the keyboard is super loud everytime i click one of it's button, like for example now.. at this minute that I'm typing whatever I'm typing I'm worried that I'll wake my aunt up.. and the stupid spacebar is so louddd... arghhhhh.....Aside from those reason, I've been tired, don't feel like going online when I come home......
Lots of features coming up in blogger it seems, wonder if it's competition with other blog space... really think blogging is now the trend, the in thingy liaoo... quite fun I guess... ekke...

Hm, been a while since I've written something here. Looks like there's some changes happening here. Oh well, for ya all to know, my notebook has yet to be fixed. Still dead. Hopefully my bro will be free enough to fix it for me this coming weekend. Hopefully I won't have to do any formatting as all my precious songs and pictures are still inside. Sigh, I also duno how.

Can't write too long as I don't have that much time. Had fun when Din was here. Hopefully things will go smoothly in our plans on going to Spore coming Sept for Din's graduation. Have yet to tell my parents about it, but I'm sure it won't be a problem.

A friend of mine asked me to attend referee course. Am still thinking about it. Been so long since I've involved myself in taekwondo. Would be fun to attend the refresher course, at least when they need a referree they can look me up and also I will be able to earn some extra money. Am still thinking...

Yo everyone. Something happened to my notebook, it won't allow IE website to load. Damn sian with it, duno what's wrong. Neways, now I can't even start my pc. Sigh, oh well, i'm sure i can survive without using the internet once in a while. Will try to fix it later when I can get the things that I need.



How's everyone? Well, I'm better now. No longer a sickly person wo can't talk (like last Wednesday, lost my voice due to throat infection). At least now am better. Sigh, me at workplace using the company's internet system at the moment.



Life is still pretty much a mystery. Want to elaborate on it but yet not enough time. dinner break's ending and I gotta leave soon..



Miss talking to people on the net, miss surfing... but life ain't all that there is. Will go and explore the ongoings of my surrounding.. seeking God, looking for something more fruitful I guess...

Interview



Think I better let everyone about the interview that I went. I actually had an interview with Maxis. For those who are Malaysians, you would know what this company is all about. It's one of the major telecommunication centre in Malaysia and one of the biggest company around. It would be real good if you manage to get into this company. The position I went for the interview is Customer Care Consultant. It sounds nice, but trust me, it's not really. It's basically deals with customer complaints, mostly escalated cases as that when the department will deal with. Neways, I'm not really interested in this position. Reason I went was that there might be a chance where they would offer me a different position, and also for the interview experience. Things went on well. I don't think it would be a problem. I talked till I was so thirsty.. haha.. praise God for this opportunity and for Him granting me favour in the eyes of my interviewer. Did not regret going for the interview although at the end of the day I was super tired as I woke up 7plus that morning and worked till 12 at nite... it was quite fun.. people were nice and all..



For now will leave it to God to decide....
