Is Christ my all?

Is Christ my priority?

Yea, that's a big question to ask myself.
I'm constantly tested on that question.
Is He truly my priority?
Is He all and in all?

To know Him and to be known by Him,
My one desire,
To gaze at His beauty,
My heart overwhelms with praises,
To know and truly know the extend of His love for me,
Why do I still want to sin?

We are constantly feeding ourselves everyday,
Are we feeding on junk and 'chickedies'?
Or are we feeding ourselves with good stuff?

Are we living an appropriate life?
The life that is worthy of His death?
Are we different, are we unique ?
Are we reflecting Christ in all that we 'are'?

Who we are, reflects what we do.
Who does the world see when they look at you?
If our perception of God determines how we act,
Do we know our God?
Is He mighty to save, Loving Father, Closest Friend, or a statue that is only sitting there and when we feel like it, we go to the corner where we place Him and then put our sticks of incense to feel good about ourselves, and hope He is pleased?
Are we limiting our knowledge of Him and are satisfied by what we know?

Is God in my living?
There in my breathing?
Is God in my waking?
Or when I am sleeping?

Is He in my resting?
or there in my working?
Is God in my thinking?
or in my speaking?

Is God in our laughing?
or when I'm weeping?
Is He in my hurting?
And there in my healing?

Be my everything
Be my everything, Lord.

I hate to ask tough questions like that.
And even worst, answering it with brute honesty...
but I will cease to mature in my walk with Christ.
For in Him, we have a hope of glory.

Good one, man! It's only when we ask the tough questions then we see where we place Christ in our lives. And at times, the reality is that the answers will be harsh and brutal. That's why His grace should and would pull us through.
Keep giving yourself to God in everything that you do as I've been encouraged and blessed by the changes I've seen in you.
Pwnage!

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...
