My new year prayer....

We sang this song in the church on the first Sunday of 2009.
I was truly touched by the words in this songs....I need Jesus
in my life everyday... and my prayer is to be more like Jesus
everyday...... to care for others like him.....to have more passion
for the lost souls .........

Be thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Nought be all else to me, save that thy art
Thou my best thought in the day and the night
Waking or sleeping, thou presence my light

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word
I ever with thee and thou with me lord
Thou my great father and I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with thee one

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Be thou my armour and be thou my might
Thou my soul shelter, and thy my high tower
Raise thou me heavenwards, oh power of my power

Riches I need not, nor mans empty praise
Thou mine inheritance through all of my days
Thou and thou only though first in my heart
High king of heaven my treasure thou art

Oh high king of heaven, when battle is done
Grant heavens joy to me, bright heaven sun
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, though ruler of all

New Year 2009

It was so cold when we arrived at Birmingham airport on 31/12/08 at
12pm. It was even colder when we stepped out of the airport.
It was about o'c on that day.

We were very grateful to have Gideon & YongXin who
has offered to give us a lift. According to YongXin, it was still consider
warm before we came back.... temperature suddenly dropped on the day
we came back..... haha!!!! i thought we would bring the sunshine back
from Malaysia but..... terbalik pulak....

We had lunch at Nando's...... we had a great chat about things happened
in Malaysia.... then Gideon sent us to 2 the Close to take our car......
Nelson has to jump start his car as the car has been "deserted" about
2 weeks after Ming Ru went back to China.....haha!!!!

After we reached home... we were already half dead as we had been
in the journey for about 26 hours..... We opened our fridge and realized
we have nothing in the fridge as we cleared everything before we went back
to Malaysia..... Ok... went to Sainsbury to get something to eat......

Slept at about 7.30pm... tak boleh tahan.... and we only woke up
at 8am the next day.......for the next few days... we spent around
12 hours for sleeping.... to recover from jet lag.... haha.....

New Year Resolutions!!!! Do you have one?

New Year resolutions!!!
Is it too late to talk about this after 16 days?

I have a few new year resolutions and one of it is loss weight!!!! I've gained
weight since i came to UK. hahahahah!!!!!

Many people will list down their new year resolutions on 31st of Dec. What's
yours? I think, as a Christian we must at least have these 3 resolutions:

i) Make us of our time
Making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil
(Ephesians 5:16)
Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders, make the most of
every opportunity (Colossians 4:5)

ii) Helping the needy and love others as ourselves
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbour
as yourself. (Matthew 22: 37-39)

iii) Live to be like God
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle
and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
(Matthew 11:29)

Hope you will achieve what you have planned for year 2008.
May you have a fruitful life this year..........
