Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

22Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifeb]? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?


27"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.


32"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.



This week have been a fruitful and also very tiring week for me. just like the weeks before the NEEC. is filled with study time and time living in abundance. i sometimes feel i am over strainning myself. I fear lots. felt very lost. felt very stupid. im so slow in understanding text-es. and trying out as many ways as i can to figure out a way to handle a particular law subject.

i really thank God. for the good weather and the season we are in now. Spring! the sun is bright. sunny. the weather is much warmer now. many people around smilling. Spring here in lupton is very different. i had the chance to spend a great bbq picnic time with my cg friends in lupton. catching up with their lifes and how they are doing.

The best moments of the week is prayer meetings time.Theres so much i have to cover , so much i need to study still. but yet still, somehow God will always place a great peace in me, whenever in prayer meeting. it is in prayer meeting, i can just let it all out and not be a hypocrite before my closest leeds friends to help me spiritually.

today, im sick with a terrible headache/fever. a slight fever. the head hurts. im suppose to read equity and trust today but i couldn't. i havent touch this subject in like a month! im so rusty in it. and the fianls for it is just 3weeks from now. Honestly im over-whelmed with worry. but what luke 12 says:25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]? Luke 12 has always been a favourite for me,esspecially during my exams. God's word is so comforting in this time when i need Him most.

Well, i actually dont really know how to blog all of this out. But i know that this time is really stressful. im actually the least stress among all my other classmates. my other classmates, wa lao their faces like zombie. the pressure is there. im keeping my focus. i can do all things thro Christ who strengthens me.

Lord, Help me Lord. You know me from the inside out. Guide me Lord, in this time when i feel all is lost. Help me Lord to understand and to always find rest in you. Heal me Lord, keep in good health both spiritually and physically. I love you Lord and doing this to please you only, not the applause of a million.

NEEc camp is great. a greta place to relax. and just allow God to feed ya like sheep. the camp is in Wales. nice place. lotsa people there man. met a lot of old friends there and new ones too.

the greatest part of the camp is the speakers there, namely joel edwards, and tony anthony.

am very encourge by this two speakers. and also the experience of worshipping God with the many different fellowships all over england. i could never forget uncle mike's 'special' worship lead style.hehe.

hmm. i dunno how to write more leh. i have learn lots.

i guess, as im bloggin this im in a super studying mood now. kinda hard to just chill and blog relax-ly. pray for me. finals in 3 weeks time! so fast!

the kitchen is my second home now, hehe not only because of the food there, but because its quiet.perfect for studying.

oh well, i got to go now. will blog better nexttime.

Thumbs up NEEC here we come....

Ladies im mr. evil I have come to lie, steal and destroy. So everyone! hands up ,nobody moves. not even a fart...

I havent been updating for a while. i dont even know where to start. hmm.. for starters let me tell you all a story ok.

I got robbed in burgrking 2 weeks ago. It wasnt a serious one. i'm still alive. no harm, everybody is safe. except for my poor wallet. sobs. my poor poor bonia wallet. i only had her for 6months and now shes stolen by evil man in england. Mr. evil man why u so mean, even when the wallet is empty no cash. why wanna take still?!? dont u know i can just cancel my credit card anytime once i go to the bank. no use u taking all my debit and credit cards also. now FSA (Financial Services Authority) have impose an obligation for the banks to insert PIN protection even to credit cards.
Besides the cards in it. i cant see any reason why you mr. evil robber would want to take my handsome pictures in my wallet. and my student card. nobody is gonna believe that you are a student to give you student discounts. showing your card and your face only verifies your identification as a student discount holder in whole of england. havent you read the law? i guess not.but you should, if you wanna know better of the validity of the things u rob besides money. ish. and why o why you wanna take my beloved handphone? even thought it is a pay as you go credit. and the credit is only 1.20pounds. haiyo. cheapcheap lousy nokia also wanna take. ish. u wanna sell to blackmarket as second hand also the most you can make sale of it is 20pounds. that is if you can find some idiot bidder.

man i have so many things to say to that nasty robber. i'm also malang cos..my other collegues at burgerking, who are fulltimers of burgerking, they dont even bring their wallets to work.only handphones.


I'm pissed then , not because of the things i lost, but because of the ma fan-ness it cost on me. have to waste my good 11hour working day to go to banks, make reports, answer some questions, make student card and others. Ohya. that robber didnt take my bus pass. What an idiot! the bus pass is a 78pounds bus pass for 4months. he probably is not familiar with the public transport system in leeds. he just threw my bus pass away like as though its crap. when actually hehe.it is the most valuable thing in my wallet. thank God he send some angel to snatch it from his hands or make him gong gong dunno anything about cards. Thank God for that.


From this robbery i also learned valuable lessons. and it is indeed an experience. at first i was like kinda piissed cos among all the people in leeds , why wanna rob me man. its not like im super rich. its not like i show off my cash to people. its not like i waste my cash on boost duff! But God is good he taught a very important lesson that i need to learn. its no surprise why all this happen on that week too. because on that same week when i got robbed. my laptop minum soup ayam campbell. ya. i accidentally spilled hot cream soup onto my baby laptop. shes only 1 year old..sobs. she went gila for a like the whole week. i was force to go to the uni cluster everyday to do my assignment research and very little online times.

i remember on the sunday before the robbery and soup spill incident. i did a financial pledge to God on Sunday and was really challenge in faith to go for NEEC camp. i actually could do many things with that money man. i turned down the FA Cup Semifinal match of liverpool vs chelsea trip in manchester stadium.it will cost me roughly the same amount as the NEEC camp thinggyee. so tempting wei. FA semi final cup wei!!! Thank God he make it easier for me to turn it down because the seats for the FA cup final is the chelsea supporters seats!!!!!! eyeeerrr.. geli betul. i so anti chelsea. and have to sit with the other chelseas supporters. geli betul. and in manchester stadium somemore .wa lau to watch my most hate footie team in the theater of dreams is bad wei. cannot cannot. another thing i could do with that cash. is use it for a longer and syiok euro trip to venice!

anyway, enuff of what i can do with money, the list will just go on and on. but yea, the robbery sucks lo. just to think when i will honor God in pledge and faith , i expect God to bless indeed, more and QUICK.

Yes i was right that God will honor those who honors him. But i interpreted them sesat-ly

Firstly,i wanted to be bless MY way. the way i would like to be bless. the way i think i shud be bless.
Secondly, i wanted to bless quickly. i dont want to wait. i deserve to have priority in my blessing. why should there be any wait? God isnt slow right?

Thank God from that week of robbery and laptop rosak-ness. God taught me a very important lesson. That is to have His way. to let him bless me the way it He knows best. To be patient to receive the greatest abundance from Him.Julee was a great supporter in my faith walk during that whole week. She kept encouraging me with biblical verses and the main teachings in prayer meetings.Also being like a big chea chea checking if theres anything i havent done. That week in cg ,Jean shared about The God who is Just. The God who is Righteous.
Of How God loves righteousness. it is said a billion times in the bible man.
i didnt had mood to go to cg then, cos on that day was the day the robbery happen to me. and i had to do all the ma fan things and re-application and cancellation. Thank God ,Julee gave a call and encourage me to know that God is above all circumstances. And what is my foundation is.
She also said , tonight we are gonna learn about "the God who is Righteous". i was like yea right. i just got rob today and had terrible laptop deficiency incident on the week when i make that pledge, and you want me to hear about the God who is righteous? i felt so like Bruce in Bruce almighty Film. felt silly like wanna tell God all sort of nonsense.


But in the end, Ben did what He is taught since sunday school. Dont run away from God when you are at your worst. instead, it is all the more i must go to God. so yea, i went to CG that night to learn about the God who is Righteous.
I have no regrets man.

After that meetin and that extra act of obedience. i was bless tremendously by God the following week. haha. now here is the fun fun part of the entry.

My friend Sam. treated me dinner at Tampopo Restaraunt. it is this super ex. restauaraunt in leeds. where only working people go. the dinner cost us 50pounds! crazy man! pure insane. 25pounds already can eat the best food in chinatown. but 50pounds for a dinner for two is just insane man. Sam. didnt pay. she just use the freedinner for 2 , she won in the massoc ball lucky draw that night. i should have brought my camera man, the food is so so beautiful. too beautiful to eat i must say.
Also in that week, it was roy's birthday. we all did a surprise for him. we sabo-ed him. and i bake my first ever chocolate cake! we have 3cakes that night. one for the birthday. another as a decoy. and the third is to smash roys face with it. haha. its so funny man. if you look at my friend siawwan's friendster. she had the whole video of 'cake smashing' in her front page. hmm.. i dunno how to upload videos into my blog. can anyone teach me.
Also im actually paid extra by burgerking that week. manager sophie wanna compensate for the inconvenience cost. im given the pay of hours which i didnt get to work for. Praise God for that.

This morning, i woke up so happy. cos i have such a wonderful dream the night i sleep.i dreamt that it is my graduation day. i see so many people and clapping hands for me. the best part is, i see heaven and everything in it witnessing my graduation ceremony. so nice! a dream i totally cant forget.i might sound perasan but its true wei! such priority God gives just to see his children graduate. this gives me all the more the motivation to study and work till the end.


So ya see. God is so great. he really looks after his children well. he delights when his children lives in righteousness. he delights whenever his children runs to him and not run away from him. What a Just God! isnt he?What great plans he always have for us.Jeremiah 29:11

Well thats pretty much about my past two weeks. lots has happen. My exam finals is exactly 40days from now! The number 40 always have a special meaning in the bible. some say its testing, some say its preparation, some says its transformation, some says its period of change. Well watever it is i have one thing to to say : Aweesooome DUDeeeEeEe!
By the way those of you who know mandarin , go check the traditional chinese character for the word righteous. i found the coolest fact about the traditioanl chinese character for the word righteous.
