Lord, You’re more than anything
You’re more than gold, more than everything
I will never let You go

leadership

a good leader is someone whom people forgive and still follow when he makes mistakes.

i’m starting a business

in this class called Technological Entrepreneurship. it was essentially to clear a mod, and i thought it’s just writing biz plan and everything.

but it’s apparently quite serious. it seems like it’s happening.

the case for christ

it’s a book i’ve been meaning to read but never really got around to get hold of it. and i saw it in my cabinet today! plus, it’s an old book, which means it’s not a gift, probably someone left it behind, maybe a person from one of the many cell groups tt’s held at my place.

i’m just starting but the book reminds me of all those CSI Castle House and Lie to Me tv series, where we collect evidence and they may point in a certain direction, but at the end of the day on a closer examination the truth it otherwise. that’s how Jesus is many many times misunderstood. but truth always prevails and i guess we just have to have the faith to believe when it seems unbelievable.

God’s still a very good God to me.

one month late but good song nontheless

t was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about

because of you

i heard it’s said
that people come into our lives
for a reason
bringing something we must learn

and we are led to those
who help us most to grow
if we let them
and we help them in return

well, i don’t know if i believe that’s true
but i know i’m who i am today
because i knew you

recently i’m beginning to understand the phrase ‘relationship before ministry’.

sometimes it’s better not to know

people say knowledge is power. i guess it is.

i remember the story mum told me about this family in a poor village. they had a friend who often dines at their place. so one day, the question on which is cleaner: ‘wash 3 times’ or ‘eyes cannot see’. well he says wash 3 times. and he at his meal. after the meal the mother in the family said, oh, i cudn find my pot today so i used my son’s potty to cook instead. don’t worry, i washed the potty 3 times.

the point is, not knowing is sometimes better.

looking at some tweets and facebook statuses, people being proud, excited about some things, i wish i can be too. but knowing some, and the point is, not all things regarding a matter, makes me think negatively sometimes. dont get me wrong, i’m not emo or anything. it’s just that sometimes i can’t think of a positive way in looking at things, based on the things i already know. and in all these all i can do is to trust in God’s character. i notice i’ve been saying this wayy too many times the past few months. trust in God’s character. i’m not sure how else to think.

swimming
