Back to the core of the church @ 16:09

Recently I kept reading about celebrities and models wanting to come out of their comfort zone to try something new, to challenge themselves.

I'm pretty sure that is the beginning of change and adventure when we come out of the environment which we are so comfortable and safe in. What does it mean to come out of the comfort zone? I think the best definition is to say we are stepping into the unknown. Things will become unpredictable, there might be failures, there might be success, no one knows, except God.

The comfort zone meant the environment and situation which we are best at dealing with. So coming out of it leads to a determination to realize new experiences, solutions and situations.

I joined a cell group which my friend recommended me for service yesterday. Although I'm not a fan of meeting new people alone, I was pretty excited to meet new people from Church. I spoke and sat beside the CGL who was in the same leadership class as me. Boy, that is coming to about 10 years ago?! Not feeling very comfortable, I smiled, greeted and shook hands with the members.

I told myself I had to do this sooner or later because I was reminded about this verse. "Those who are planted in the House of God will flourish." I wanted to be re-connected back to the Church. Although there were some unpleasant experiences last time, I think its not fair to deem everyone to be the same.

So, I'm on the way to looking for a spiritual family which I can be rooted into and grow.

Style Rethink by Christa D'Souza @ 18:48

"How do women do this over and over again without bankrupting themselves both financially and creatively? Here is the thing: Very, very, stylish women don't.

Forking out for an entire new closet every season smacks of victim-y insecurity…Find those key pieces that can be integrated seamlessly, stealthily, almost thriftily, into your existing closet. 'Remember, the season has to work for YOU', as she puts it. 'Not the other way round'.

SO then - those vital pieces for the season. Concentrate on these as though your life depends upon it and, guaranteed, you will sail through fall like a pro. If I could only go for one piece? It would probably be a coat. There is something about its new oversized proportions, its cocooning powers, as exemplified to perfection…

If I were going for two, I would add the perfect slouchy sweater…

If you already have one (slip dress) from Pre-Fall, pair it with an oversized sweater, and if you want to really push fall's rebel theme, add a leather jacket… If you like the idea of a simple, throw-on-and-go dress, as I do, then invest in a black foolproof shift from Victoria Beckham, with minimal accessories and a pair of Jimmy Choo brogues…"

Why not take risk? @ 10:59

People usually remember what you did wrong and forget what you did right.

Is that why many are afraid to take a risk, jump of the cliff and go for something unknown? Is that why many are afraid to make mistakes, so they rather not take the chance and follow suit? Is that why many are not successful?

Change happens when your mindsets and perspectives change.

We often say we would want to change these and that but never succeeded in doing that. We need to renew our mind. Whether you like it or not, change is said to be a constant thing on earth.

There is always room for improvement and that meant changing. So be open to advises and feedbacks; think through it. If it makes sense and you're convicted about it, set your heart to change, make a conscious effort and change your course of action.

No point talking about change all the time but nothing is done. Like what the bible says, its like a cymbal making empty noises.

Spring is coming @ 13:03

I was reminded.

Seasons start to change even without us realizing or feeling it.

I was watching a Chinese drama about a fictional story of ancient Chinese history of the emperor and his concubines. As years past, many springs, summers, autumns and winters would past. This thought crossed my mind.

We can never know when the change of seasons actually start to happen. The beginning of spring would still be cold with the presence of snow as it gradually become warmer.

The seasons in life are the same. A change, a turning happens in the midst of your daily life without you realizing or feeling anything. That change would become so evident one day that you cannot help but to ask how it happened. The fact is, the change of seasons have already begun and you have not notice it.

While the seasons are changing, what do you do? Persevere on or run away from the circumstances because you cannot tolerate things further?

My spring is coming. Continue to fight on.
