Some key lessons here for me... It came very timely and hit right on the nail. Well, I guess it is really time to polish off my weakness in prioritizing and time managing..
I'm learning... Really. PS: Katherine desperately want to recover.. Please pray for healing. Thanks! =) Wednesday, October 29, 2008 Loving people
Katherine is learning to love people.
To be more exact, in fact, it is not about loving people but the expressing of the love part that is more difficult for me. It might be easier if somebody tells me his/her love language doesn't include a least bit of the "time" factor? (Even my love language is time!) Actually... I thought I love most of the people I come in contact with. But again, if that's true, maybe I've got the definition of love wrong. Have I? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Something else I've grasped out of my usual pondering time... I've roughly concluded why people tend to take God's grace and forgiveness for granted. It is because it's so much easier to earn forgiveness from God than from people. When we seek forgiveness (I mean sincere repentance) from God, there is such an assurance and peace that He will forgive. The bible says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). But of course that doesn't mean we can sin again and again. (Not touching on this today) On the other hand, it seems really really tough to earn forgiveness from fellow human.. If you have ever tried and failed (tell me about it), one advice is to press on, persevere, put away all your pride, humble yourself... do whatever you can (I don't mean look pitiful) and wait for the time of restoration. Actually, I'm not even sure what I'm trying to bring across here. Perhaps it's the preciousness of forgiveness... from God and from people. Maybe at some point in life, we all will learn to treasure the magnificent grace and mercy of our Creator and to truly love all of his creation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frantic schedules of tuition is finally over. I pray all of them did well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the next two months... let it be different.

"But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness." - 2 Peter 3:13 Saturday, October 25, 2008 Value
In other words, the question was simply, what was my worth? I closed my eyes and pondered for a moment. Many images began flashing through my mind... Then came the soft gentle voice again, "what's wrong , Katherine? what's your concern? where have you placed your worth on?" Answers began to sprout forth within my mind.. Far too long I've placed my worth on the things that were temporal. "your worth is not in physical assets... it is not in the opinions of people... not your past... not your family background... not the number of ministry you're serving in... not the amount of knowledge you've... not how much you can give to others... not your gifts and talents... Have you yet understand? Katherine...?" At this moment... nothing but tears could better express how I'm feeling. "Remember what I said? Please God, don't please man." Yes Lord... my worth is in You alone. Tuesday, October 21, 2008 Your Love
If only I understand how much You love me, I'd love You back as much. Yet, the depth of Your love is unfathomable and deeply incomprehensible. Monday, October 20, 2008 Thought stirring message.
"God wants to loose some donkeys today..." "God is not looking for talented & beautiful white stallion; He is seeking for faithful donkeys..." "As much as we need the Lord, He needs us too..." Luke 19:30-34
Many things are holding us back from exploring the world with God. We need to loose them, be ridden and get ready to be use by Him... Some of us are so comfortable in our well that we neglected the call God has on us...
Been pretty puzzled lately. So "what's next?" has been the question on my mind for the longest of time for the past few months. Perhaps it's all about God's timing... timing... timing... Thursday, October 16, 2008 No longer dark... =)
It was not dark tonight... The usually quiet, long and darkened pathway home had been installed with some lighting tool tonight. =) As I lift up my eyes towards the starry sky (man it was beautiful...!), I saw a huge, bright and shiny moon right above me; so that was it! Why did the way seemed so lit up tonight. Ha. It was just like God was shining His torch over me. *laughs* I remembered during my younger days, I'd sit in the car and watch the moon moving along with the car and tries my best not to lose sight of it. Sometimes it could turn out to be a little game between my brothers and me that whoever loses the moon lose! *laughs* And those were the days... we played all sorts of games.. And mostly our own inventions! *Giggles* Some times we have to miss our old times, don't we? =) And remembering the sweet memories just draw me to cherish the present more... To take heart of every word a loved one speaks... Not easy, isn't it? Most of the time we just want to be heard and forgets to listen... and even when we do listen, we didn't quite did our best... Yes.. Listening requires some effort too.. *smiles* All right, getting way too long-winded here. Hm. Just... Good night then! =)
Tuesday, October 14, 2008 My heart : His words
When I find no words to my thoughts and feelings, God always has it. Following taken from Oswald Chambers "My Utmost For His Highest" October 13th entry (I've shelved this book up since earlier this month and started using another daily devotion but was somehow prompted to take it out just a few minutes ago.. and when I flipped to today's entry, I am surprised at how timely was the message written which so amazingly and clearly brought out what's in my heart and troubling.) Individual Discouragement and Personal Growth "... when Moses was grown... he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens" Moses saw the oppression of his people and felt certain that he was the one to deliver them, and in the righteous indignation of his own spirit he started to right their wrongs. After he launched his first strike for God and for what was right, God allowed Moses to be driven into empty discouragement, sending him into the desert to feed sheep for forty years. At the end of that time, God appeared to Moses and said to him,"'...bring My people...out of Egypt.' But Moses said to God, 'Who am I that I should go...?'"(Exodus 3:10-11). In the beginning Moses had realized that he was the one to deliver the people, but he had to be trained and disciplined by God first. He was right in his individual perspective, but he was not the person for the work until he had learned true fellowship and oneness with God. We may have the vision of God and a very clear understanding of what God wants, and yet when we start to do it, there comes to us something equivalent to Moses' forty years in the wilderness. It's as if God had ignored the entire thing, and when we are thoroughly discouraged, God comes back and revives His call to us. And then we begin to tremble and say,"Who am I that I should go...?" We must learn that God's great stride is summed up in these words- "I AM WHO I AM...has sent me to you" (Exodus3:14). We must also learn that our individual effort for God shows nothing but disrespect for Him - our individuality is to be rendered radiant through a personal relationship with God, so that He may be "well pleased" (Matthew3:17). We are focused on the right individual perspective of things; we have the vision and can say, "I know this is what God wants me to do." But we have not yet learned to get into God's stride. If you are going through a time of discouragement, there is a time of great personal growth ahead. Our God is indeed a good God. He knows me (us) so well and He provides answers. Praise God. Monday, October 13, 2008 Complete Obedience
Just read 2 Kings 23:1-25 and the obedience of Josiah astonishes me... "The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the LORD -to follow the LORD and keep his commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant." (vs 3) Josiah walked his talk. What he promised the Lord, he did. How many times have we walked into the church on Sunday telling God that we will follow after Him and obey His call with all our heart, our soul and our strength... but walked out of the church compromising to the things of this world? Countless. Hm. Many thoughts running through my mind now. Relooking at my commitment to Him and feeling a sense of urgency to rededicate myself to Him. For too long I've compromised my faith.. "Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the LORD as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses." (vs 25) A Servant's Heart - CHC
Tuesday, October 7, 2008 Seeing Five?
 Seeing Five? Yes! =) We are finally complete. Hey I seriously encourage my bloggie readers to check out NY and MJ bloggie. Haa. Sometimes I feel they have more updates/photos on me than I do on my own bloggie. Haa. Yesterday missed Monday Club again. MJ gonna kill me soon. I think he'll not accept any more explanation. Ha. Hee. The DVD cover is out and I'm in anticipation to get the DVD soon. =) Monday, October 6, 2008 Monday Afternoon
But perhaps you would do the same if you're freezing in this office desert like me. Do you ever feel like having just one person who would truely smile at you every day? Wouldn't that make your day? For me, it definitely would! Cheers, it's Monday afternoon and I shall stop being grumpy. =) *Katherine declares "It's time to knock off!* Friday, October 3, 2008 This is my morning. =)
 Thursday, October 2, 2008 You know that God listens?
*Katherine walks in... jumping with joy and shouting "God listens! God listens!" * Yes, God listens... and many times we heard testimonies from people and read from books and bible of how God answered prayers and you thought you were really assured that He listens to your prayers... until... when circumstances arises that causes you to lose heart and faith to even take up the courage to believe that God is listening to your all confused heart especially when you know you haven't been all obedient to Him... Today P&P was awesome. Thank God for my prayer partner. =) Indeed.. it is only when there is a personal encounter with God that one will realise the reality of God. Even for a simple thing like "God listens..." needs to be hammer into my head so many many times. Today, to be honest, I went to P&P totally unprepared. Was unable to focus even when the worship started.. I felt unsettled and things just weren't going right inside me. I had too many things on my mind and was totally distracted. The only thing I could do was kept pushing myself to yield and to yield and to yield... and to give all that were in me to Him... God is good and He always will be. "Be still and know that I am God..." (Psalm 46:10) God speaks through people. He speaks through songs. He speaks through His Word. Our God is a creative God. It cannot be more real than when you experience God yourself. Hearing so clearly His wonderful answers to what you thought might have been seemingly insignificant in His eyes - definitely not. God is lovely. =) Yes... I'm leaping in joy, knowing that He heard my silent whispers... Yes, "God listens! God listens!" I Simply Live For You
