Speak Life or Speak Death?

Well, going to be my final exams. Got to get my butt workin hard! I love hanging around people who longs for true friendship and being family/community. I just wana place where we can chat and tell of our stories and pray for one another and love one another, speak into one another, bless and uphold one another and we all get blessed and feel God in action. A place where it's safe and people are open because we all know that when I share something, the rest is here for me kinda feeling. They are not here to criticise me or kick me when I'm down, but more like uphold, lift, encourage and built one another up. To rebuke and to speak life.

I got a few experiences with that kinda environment. It's really a wonderful thing to bless and encourage others because I myself am blessed. And to know that when I'm in trouble, there are people there for me. It's a very "nice feeling" if I can put it just simply.

Speaking life is such a wonderful and encouraging, uplifting, thing to do to others and even myself. Knowing that our words carry such weight in heaven and on earth because we are sons/daughters in Christ. Such a simple blessing or encouragement can really bless and encourage someone. I will never know how much I have blessed someone (unless got feed back la) but as I speak life to others, I know that God will do something. Same goes for curses. I must jaga my mouth la of what I speak. Some things are just better to shush then to blurt out. Some words are "reflex" words and those words that come out from the abundance of what u feed your mind with that goes to your heart. (Don't take my words for it, only some cases are like that) But reflex words can discribe who you really are sometimes.

I'll end with the scripture from Colossians 4:6 :+Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.+:

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...
