First and foremost... Happy 2008 to all who reads my blog and this post and a happy chinese new year :))
I AM SO SO SORRY!!! So sorry for not posting anything for a long long long.... long time. Was rather busy with work plus the fact that my computer had no access to the Internet for close to a month... So as a result, I can only do my first blogging in 2008 now.... 8-|
Hmmm... for me, life's has been... ok lor... Haha... quite a typical answer eh? Working as an admin assistant in Tokio Property Service P/L has been quite an eye-opener... Introduced me to the reality of life, office politics, franking of letters, data entry.... BUT BUT, I don't like it when things in the office gets busy.... Everybody just want to finish their work asap... so will push more jobs to people like me... Admin is really one big saikang job sia... I am not going to be an admin person in the future manz... Unless if that's the only job left for me to take lor...
Oh oh... and I would like to share something that was mentioned in meeting today :) Kind of a revelation to me...
In Numbers 12:3, as bro daniel was sharing today, the verse goes like this: "(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)" Well, at first when I read this verse, I was treating it plainly as it is. But when bro daniel asked this question "Who was the person that wrote this book of Numbers?" All of a sudden, it wow-ed me... because Moses was the one who wrote this book, by the inspiration of God that is :)
Then you might ask, why Moses is so thick-skinned to have wrote this verse down the book, and to even claim that he was very humble more than all men on the face of the earth? Well, because God wanted him to write that down and he just obeyed the calling and wrote it down... Although he could have resisted it if he thinks it is very paiseh for him. Or else he could have continued on bragging about himself throughout the entire book, and without the putting on of the brackets. From here, it showed me that true humility is not when someone praise you, you kind of reject the person's praise for you... that's only an outward appearance before men. But if in your heart, you become paiseh because you wanted people to leave a good impression about you so that more praises will come your way, that is not humility already...
True humility is one where you don't purposely seek after praises or drawing others' attention towards you, but one that just do what is required of you and do not allow the praises of men to sink deep in your heart... or else pride will creep in and cause you to be full of yourself...
Well, i have also come to learn that being timid/shy is actually an act of pride. According to dicti
onaries' definition, pride is a feeling of self-respect and personal worth. Hence, by being timid/shy you are actually having a feeling of self-respect and personal worth... because you will think that you are not up to the standard to do this thing/job/work, which is a form of measuring your personal worth (and maybe respecting yourself for not being able to do it??). Haha... so from now on, I will try not to resist God's calling (as far as possible :|) when he ask me to do something that makes me timid/shy. just dowhat you are suppose to do and whatever people might say, let them say it... as long as we are accountable before God, which is by far the most important thing :)
Haha... hope you people are not bored by my sharing above... Hope to blog more often in the future and hopefully share more stuff with all of you regarding God and His desires... Ok, now is kind of late already... So goodbye to you as of now :))
