Things that never fails to amaze me everytime i read them

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects.When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?

Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and hesaid to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is that people do not come to me.""Exactly!"- affirmed the customer.

"That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens is that people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING

Job Offer

This I gotta share with ya all... I find it so farnee!

I spoke to this person, asking for a customer.. I think all I said to him was, "Good evening, am I speaking to ....?" He answered no, and passed the phone over to the customer. After checking with customer on something, the phone was abruptly passed to the initial person...

He went on and said' "Hello? If you're looking for a receptionist job, call back this number ok?" I went blur, hahaha.. I actually said, eh... oh okies... and hanged up...

I find it quite funny, as there wasn't even a minute of conversation with him and he offered a job to me. I told this to my aunt who said, "you should tell him, can you pay a big sum for a graduate to be a receptionist??" haha.. i would imagine how blur the customer could be.. hahah..

OK, if you dun find it farnee it's ok...

Attended a wedding today.. the bridegroom and bride looks wonderful together. While on stage doing a presentation with my fellow church mates, I could see the joy in the bride's eyes and smile.. but what's amazing is that, on that wonderful day, the bridegroom is still very much praising God during the celebration praise. Praise God for this wonderful union. I would think the dinner is on right now... On this occasion I would think of Eadwine and his wonderful photos. I am always amazed to see the feelings in his photos, one that you could not see in many others. I've actually checked out other websites before, but I would still think that his is great. Maybe people may think me as partial... but oh well.. he is a fren of mine nonetheless... May God continue to bless him and may his photos continue to bless the couples.

That reminds me, I think the photographer took quite a number of our pictures on stage, as we were practising earlier and all... hmm.. must ask the bride for some pictures.... keke..

God bless them...

my name is always spelt wrongly

For the darnest reasons unknown to me, my name is always spelt without the "E" at the back. To be honest, I am quite annoyed at times by it.. it's understatement if ppl don't get it the first few times, but after bringing it up time and again and they still spelt my name likewise.

What's worse, at my workplace, my designated folder in our email web bin - which bears our name, guess how my name is spelt... sigh...

quite sad to know that ppl dun try to correct it eventho I've mentioned it for like a million times.. hence, I'd rather go with the name Sue rather than my full name at times...

To Singapore and back

First and foremost want to thank you those who have taken their time to meet up with mel and I during the weekend in Singapore, and also for those who wanted but was unable to make it due to circumstances....

Still feel a little tired from the trip, mainly coz the bus ride home was too long.. gosh.. but praise God as we are able to make it home by the time. Spend some time to unwind and all.. so it's pretty cool.

Was just thingking about things and found that there are so many things that we are missing out in life. I guess at this age, all of us are too busy with work, trying to earn money to support ourselves, trying to find things to occupy our time and etc. Once again, I reminisce the time in Gippy, where I can just walk out and enjoy the peace in my heart. It's hard now, so hard to find that spot to just slow down and take things as it is. Even meeting friends who stays around the corner requires appointment...

I figured that life is moving so fast that people are finding it hard to catch even a breath. God, this is not what I want in life Lord... I know one requires money to a certain extent, but I pray Lord that I will be able to slow down and really look around the things that's surrounding me, the people in my life and the amazing love of Urs Lord.

Father Lord, I thank U that in the midst of everything, U would slow me down and let me think of the things that's important in my life, that it does not only revolves around work, that there is always something more than the things that's occupying me right now. Things may be tough at times, but thank U that I am able to trust in Ur promises to give me strength and refresh me during the times I needed them.

I praise and thank God for the passion He has inputted into my life. I thank God that He is moving me closer to my heart's desire. Things may be too sudden, but it's still amazing to see that He moves things within months ... within months from the time I've dedicated my passion and desire to Him. I thank God that I am able to do what I love most. I pray that the youth in church will be able to release their passion in life to God and let Him take charge, because when we do, He can be so amazing.

Ya know, people say that life can be so complicated, but in reality, we are the ones who made it complicated... I guess we do it unconsciously.. I guess tat's y it is easier for a camel to walk through the needle than us walking on the right path... there's just too many junctures in life that diverts us... yet I also see these diversions as chances to grow... to grow and be rid of our old selves, to be renewed into our new body.

Father Lord, I know I've diverted heaps in the past, and I also know that U've been amazing, bringing me back to the main path time and again. Lord, I want to be the momentum U want me to be.. I duno how it's going to work, and I duno how things will be, but Lord.. I have faith, and that is the most amazing that one can have in life...

I guess when one reflects about their lives, they seemed to find so many things to talk and share about... as I reflect through my life for the past few years and especially past few months, I truly thank God for everything that He's done and everything that He's doing right now...
