3 things I'm juggling. @ 12:51

Just focusing on 3 things: MINISTRY, LOVE, CAREER.

Ministry I guess many of you would have known that it has been a tough and hard-going fight since a 1 year plus ago.

Love, just dosen't seem to be knocking on my door as I couldn't find the right one to rely on. Confessions made could not be accepted as it is just not right. The ones that I thought would be possible seem to turn out otherwise. And there are some that I thought not bad are people that has no relations to me and I would not know them personally.

Career as I have blogged before is getting tougher. However I knew that everthing that I am experiencing today would be skills that are required in future.

I knew that these 3 things should be laid on the foundation that is built on my relationship with God.

He reminded me about John 15: "Abide in Me and I in you.."

I knew that these 3 things would not be successful until I first lay the foundation right.
It is getting tougher as time is passing away to hold onto the hope that everything will turn out as expected.

On one hand, there's a saying that everything will work out good for those who love Him. On the other hand, there's also a saying that God has a greater plan and this may not be what He wants you to continue on.

So the dateline that I set for myself to endure this race is till end of May. If it is still not working out, I would have to seek God for another opened door. Enduring till end of May actually meant there is only 1 more chance to see the result.

So shall see how.. Endure and hold onto the hope with a positive outlook for the moment..

Politics @ 13:22

The tension and trouble of a work politic can never be fully expressed until you experience it personally.

Never knew that the nature of people can be that ugly when it comes to protecting their own interest and place of power. Also, I can never understand the magnitude of wickedness in one's heart.

Just 1 day of political activities is able to drain my entire strength which was meant for the week.

It happened yesterday. It wasn't my fault as I did all I could in my own knowledge to prevent any mishaps. I handed it to the Manager. He executed the plan his way. Got 30 over replies to confirm that the execution plan failed. Higher Management realised there was a problem and made a nasty remark. My reputation is utterly scarred and destroyed because it was my work though it wasn't me who executed it.

After which, the projector gone missing and that same Manager simply smiled away and walked out of the department while I ran around to seek for a solution, helplessly and hopelessly. This responsibility was supposed to be held by that Manager but he simply walked out of the department with a sly-ish smile.

I was troubled. Really troubled.

Thoughts came into my mind to try to understand why was he like that. Is he plotting something against me to protect his position? Did he do this on purpose? Was there a substantial backing for him to do such unpleasant actions?

These troubles drained everything out of me and I felt like I could not sustain myself. I needed a shoulder to lean on. That was when Mom showed up and met that need. Thanks Mom.
Erps.. I was super nervous and excited on Monday not because it is gonna be a busy week but because I added someone on Facebook! It is the first time I took such a first step to go closer as I often believe that it should be initiated other way round.

But, apparently, I think that person either did not check his Facebook which I think is extremely unlikely or I think he is just not interested as he dosen't know me personally.

Today is Thursday. Although, they always encourage not to give up because you never know how God works, there is another saying that is true too. HOPE DEFERS MAKES THE HEART SICK.
Sorry that I haven't been updating my blog for almost a month.

There are so many things to update and record down before I forget about its details.

One revelation that taught me to lead my people -
Leadership through 3 ways: Lifestyle, Relationship and Revelation.

My conviction is before you can share any revelation with your people and see that this Word impacts their life, you have to first build a relationship with them. The basis of trust is in the strength of your relationship with them. How much would they trust and listen to your wise counsel that you give depends on how close and respected you are to them.

However, even before you can build that relationship, you got to be counted worthy for others open up their life and allow you to play a part. And this often have to do with what they see and feel about you and what others say about you. So, how credible are you? People often believe what they see personally. So your lifestyle which is framed by your actions, mindset, thoughts, character, behavior comes into a great deciding factor for others to decide whether you are worthy to be their friend.

Lifestyle, of course, have to be impacted by God's love.


Another reasoning which I found it to be quite true is said by my leader, Ian. He said the measure of loving others is the measure of God's love that has been revealed to you of which you have experienced. This the great commandment of loving others just as God has loved you. The bottomline of leadership in this ministry and church is as simple as loving others.
