Because of Him, I can stand

Have you ever been so broken in your life?

Because of the events that happen all around you, crushing you.

I know I have.

Have you ever been so low in your life?

Because everything just seems so bad, discouraging you.

I know I have.

Have you ever been so hopeless in your life?

Because all you see are dark corners, consuming you.

I know I have.

Have you ever been so powerless in your life?

Because everything that happens is way out of your league, pinning you.

I know I have.

I just want to thank my God, thank Him for being so real, for being so real to me.

It's not my imagination, it's not just a feeling, it's something real, I can tell.

It was faith, it was hope, it was love. Faith, hope and love. That was all I needed.

Because of Him, I can stand.

And you know what? You can stand too!

When everything is wrong...

Biggest problem would be from education. As I had failed 2 subjects, my parents had been making my life very hard. And then there is Swinburne whom sent me an At Risk letter requiring me to do some stuffs before I can enrol for my failed subjects.

Then there is my stupid mind messing with me, or rather my heart. It's so not needed, especially at this time.

After that there is the thing that I'm trying to fix myself, during this good opportunity of a time, which is during the holidays. Fix myself in terms of body, mind and spirit. But everything seems to be twarting my plan of starting all over again.

A Broken Heart and the Tears of a Man

Maybe I wanna do something with these 2 pictures.

Failed 2 subjects...

And so it happened, I dunno... how... what... haiz...

It's about the money, the work, the efford, the family, the everything.

Dunno lah...

Ever felt like...

Have you ever felt like, when you wanna start anew and there is a heavy baggage on you?

You wanna start all over again but there was something from your past preventing you from going forward?

It's not that you cannot let it go, you would be more than happy to do so, but that the heavy baggage was hanging on to you?

So... never do anything that you would regret, that would leave post effects bad enough to render your future. Think carefully of what you do and what you are gonna do, coz I tell u, it's serious.

The Tempted Brothers

Genesis 39:1-12

Two brothers - both far from home - faced sunular temptations. One, working away from the family, fell to the schemes of a younger woman. His sin led to embarrassment and family turmoil. The other, separated from loved ones because of family turmoil, resisted the advances of an older woman. His faithfulness led to rescue and renewal for the family.

Who are these brothers? Judah, who fell to the desperate scheme of his neglected daighter-in-law Tamar. And Joseph, who ran from the arms of Potiphar's wife. One chapter, an ugly story of irresponsibility and deception; the other, a beautiful chapter of faithfulness.

The stories of Judah and Joseph, presented back-to-back in the midst of "the history of Jacob", shos us that temptation itself is not the proble,. Everybody faces temptation, even Jesus did. But how do we face temptation? Do we demonstrate that faith in God can shield us from giving in to sin?

Joseph gave us one way of escape: Recognise sin as an affront to God and run from it. Jesus gave another: Answer temptation with truth from God's Word.

Facing temptation? See it as an opportunity to make God and His Word real in your life. Then run! -Dave Branon

O to grace how great a dbtor

Daily I'm constrained to be!

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,

Bind my wandering hear to Thee. -Robinson

We fall into temptation when we don't stand against it.
