Finding your first love...

It doesn't make a lot of sense if we serve and forget the true meaning of serving.

Business and fulfilling objectives are good and acceptable, but have we lost our first love?

So what's first love with God?

The feeling is like when we first got saved, we felt there is this love and belonging surrounding us.

The presence of God was so real and tangible. Is was as if there is this peace and joy that is very dear to our heart. It was like the reconciliation with the Father and His children. Immense joy.

Come back to God, have the child-like faith once again. Put aside all our complicated thoughts, beliefs and questions. Just come as who we are, no pretense before God. Linger and stay in His presence and commit our love for Him once again.

Everything is not important, Be with the Lord is the greatest of all.

As what Mary said let it onto me according to Your Word.

We may do things that are excellence and good, only God knows our relationship between you and Jesus.

I love Jesus. What about you?

Go ahead and laugh...

Well guys,
Exams are coming and we are pretty stressed up.
Last exams for me as a student, better treasure this time as a student.
This video is flimed when we have our exco outing.
Playnation, Microsoft Kinect.

Disclaimer: I am not professional dancer, this video is purely for fun.
No animals and humans were hurt in filming this video.
Laugh all you want, make sure you study after that.

PS: the rest of the videos are under-construction, editing in progress.. need some time so that you can see us dance.

Life is short. Enjoy life, have fun. Not forgetting we also have things to do. Plan your time wisely and I am sure you can enjoy life without compromising your studies, relationships, work, family and friends.

My blog has no video, and has less photos.

A picture speaks a thousand words,
A video speaks unlimited words.

Well, all of you know I am a weak drinker. I can't take alcohol. I guess it is blessing in disguise, haha.. I can save all the $$ and spend it on something else. haha..
I really hate the taste of beer haha.. shudders....

Hmm... Later on, the later post u will see me dancing haha...
I want to go club but I don't drink haha..
Who tell you go club must drink, who say must drink then can get high hahaha...

Likewise, for life,
An encouragement word speaks a thousand love.
A loving action speaks unlimited love.

What I did today?

People have been asking me what did I do today.

I did some exercise in the morning. It keeps the adrenaline pumping and I am super hyped up.

So later at around 11.45pm I left home to pioneer mrt station to wait for my 2 new church friends,

Nathan and Joseph. hahaha.... And then took a bus 241 to CHC!!

haha.. it was an awesome service!! Pastor Phil Pringle was simply great. He spoke about enduring the race that God has placed in front of us.

Anyway, went to Jurong Point, spend some time talking to my church mates. They are simply awesome. Song Sue actually told me what to look out for in a 2 piece KFC chicken meal. lolx.... The amount of flour and check whether the chicken has been overcooked a not.. amazing la.. so next time what to expect when eat KFC...

Warning: Those who want to keep fit, don't eat too much KFC lol haha...

Went home and read the newspaper and "downloading" those articles into my brain so that I can use them as examples for my studies. Oh ya, online shopping is addictive, you can spend literally hours looking for a lot of things. Anyway bought another new watch from Nautica. Awesome...

Lastly, 2011 is a great year ahead.

Stay strong and focused people and endured through the race.

Because the results you obtain at the end is definitely satisfying and worth it!!!

Doers of the word, not merely hearers

How many times did we actually applied what we have learned from church and school?

The question is we know what we are supposed to do.
We feel inspired and motivated after hearing impactful messages, attending seminars. Get high and feels good after an inspiring speech.

Do we really do it after we know what is right?
The answer is it boils down to whether we want to make it HAPPEN a not.
It boils down to how committed you want your life to be.
Grit your teeth, go through the discomfort and let's do it!!!

For the rest of the people who read this post.
Some points that will propel you to do things that you find it a struggle.

Imagine, Visualise the outcome of your hard work.
Eg: Obtaining First Class Honours for your studies and visualing that your degree printed "First Class Honours" in it.

Tell yourself if there is no tomorrow, will I regret that I didn't accomplised the task that I must do today?
Speak positive things, don't complain, don't find excuses. I can do the things that I set to achieve.
The greatest folly a man can do is to marvel at someone achievements and say whaaa.. this person is super on and everything he also can do it. Like wise, we also can do it. Is whether you want a not.

Finally, It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be.

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
James 1:22-25 (NKJV)

I like this song, after someone kept singing. It kinda rings in my mind hahaha... Yupz.. Enjoy.

Is not easy, but not impossible

Certainly, there are no perfect people in the world.
There bound to be conflicts, troubles and problems when people come together. Different perspectives, different viewpoints, different thinking. But I always believe all things work for good for those who love Him. If we continue to love Him and work towards the will of God, surely love can cover a multitude of sins.

We all know that everyone has a past. Everyone is guilty of something. Everyone has flaws along the way. We all long for belonging and acceptance not just from God but people as well. We have a deep desire to be loved and love to be acknowledged. Ultimately, what struck me is what Jesus had said.

John 13:34-35

³⁴ “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ³⁵ By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

To all bros and sis, remember what Jesus has gave us, that is the new command. Love each other and protect them.

Yours truly,
Dennis

Big Question??

What is my traffic light status??
I can firmly declare is amber for now.... I guess things are still pretty unsure.
If you are asking me who, I am afraid I can't tell you anything yet at the moment.
Curiosity kills the cat, I guess lets kill it then. Definitely not within west coast GRC.

I guess living in Spore is somehow busy and boring at times. But there are always reasons to smile because of the little things we have here in this tiny dot.

Priorities in life
1. Relationships with friends and family
2. Healthy
3. Money
4. Serving the community
5. House
6. Car

Right I guessed these are more important in ascending order.

Thanksgiving Testimonial
Run Yu

Is been a while since I saw you in church, I know you have been busy but I guess is always good to rely on God to guide you along in your studies. Being a student is not easy at all and we all know that we have to go through the dreaded exams. Stay faithful always and just spend at least 10 minutes praying to God before starting your studying. It will help you a long way.
Lastly, Run Yu, always stay optimistic, because God placed you there for a reason. Is to shine for him and do the best you can. Jia You!
