Proverbs for me & maybe you :)

The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom proverbs 1:7
(All scripture are from NIV, other versions are those specially noted e.g. NKJV)
My question is, what is the fear of the lord?

"To fear the Lord is to hate evil; Proverbs 8:13" Oh... Proverbs is just full of wise words by King Soloman; David's son. But the irony of it is Soloman, a man so wise. No one on earth was wiser than he is. YET, ended up being a foolish man that follow the ways of the world. And he himself not taking heed to wisdom.

AT LAST! I found it! I didn't wana sleep until I find it. I knew it was in proverbs.
Proverbs 10:19 NIV: When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
NKJV: In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.

I guess that's for me. :P

There's a verse I yet to find, where it says something like out of a man's words he sins or something like he sins after he says something. Fruit of the mouth or argh... forgot. I will find it... asap.

This is some good stuff: Prov 10:31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out. 32. The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

Proverbs is just so full of wisdom. wow! It amazes me all the time.

Communion with Huey

Communion After we celebrated Huey's birthday in cell on the 29/5/14, I brought out my wine and bread that I've bought from Jaya Grocer with the prompting of the Holy Spirit to have communion with Huey, honouring her and God as we journey in this refreshing time of experiencing God together and intimately. Initially I thought of the idea of communion to be the usual ritual that we do on the first week of Sunday; little did I know God had a different plan in mind for us. After we sat down and I surprised her with the wine and the bread I bought, we truly had communion and devotion together with each other and in the presence of God. We began talking about what we see God doing in our lives. Huey started with what she was learning from the books that she's been reading and how it is relevant and meaningful now compared to if she would to read it a few months ago. How she danced with God this afternoon and had such a great day just sitting at the feet of Jesus, soaking...

Make Room

Never knew I enjoy expressing myself through writing my thoughts down. Was it therapy or was it the lack of avenue to truly experience freedom in personal expression? If there's something I learned studying theology, it's probably both/and rather than 'or'. It's been 5 years since I've posted something on this blog. Honestly, I didn't know it was still hosted! It's been a crazy few years and the journey of how I felt led to join Alpha Asia Pacific is another post for another day. Now that I'm here, 10 months in, I think a reflection and a review is due. I got what I came for, Growth! I was certainly stretched! I had to learn and grow or be left behind. It's like being a beginner again. I enjoyed learning in Alpha and in htbb; the process was hard. Navigating everything with Huey by my side gave me perspective and hope. She challenges me Godwards and that is what I invaluably love about her. Funny how I never thought or 'liked' to travel, ...

The Movie In India

We (Me, Simon, Meeri (Varathan's brother), Kim and Ethan when to the cinema for a movie last night. We when there expecting that no one will watch a English movie entitled "Be Cool". Yea, I know what you're thinking. "We're kinda outdated here." It was so cool, I took a picture of us in the cinema. Actually Meeri took it. Anyway, we when there on a "tuk tuk" or more like the "auto" with 3 wheels and no door kinda small motor thingi. 5 Of us plus the driver was in that small mini "auto". It was alright actually. Quite fun ride, not to mention, Scary! So we reached there and guess what? The movie tickets were SOLD OUT! And we're so sad. BUT the miracle happen, one guy told us about ppl asking the manager and getting tickets from him. I'm like, well, it's worth a try. So we when up to the manager's office and there were 3 other people besides the manager and Kim just dash in and say, something like "Hi, man...
