Entry: JXP 8-14, Singapore and Passion. Monday, August 04, 2008



Shoots. This looks like it's gonna me a long post. I'll try and keep it short, sweet and summarized.

I'll summarize the JXP altogether, seeing as I'm always busy over the weekends and that for a good portion of it, I was in Singapore. Well, so far, I've somehow managed to hold on to my fasting, even though there was really a slew of temptations being hurled my way left, right, up, down, center. Especially being over at Singapore with the C&S (Counter & Strike, hahahaha). C&S stands for Cyberwellness & Sports. I just love what they do, almost like my dream job. Boohoohoo part was that evertime I was at the centre, I'm surround my pc's nintendo wii's, ps3's, and xbox's. In the end, I just sat down and played with a Rubix cube. Haha.

Yes, I'm very proud of myself that I managed to scrape through the whole trip without being dominated. Haha. Even the bus had games on the personal screens. PS1 games too! Like, sobs.com okay... But I enjoyed every minute of triumph though. Because it felt good to know that my God is able. He is able. And through His able-ness, I have been en-abled to overcome.

Problem is, next week, I gotta do hands-on with the team. So there'll be these sessions which I'll be required to be participating with the team with some games. This is gonna be an issue. Haha. Cuz I'd hate to break my 40 days, but at the same time, this is for a good learning purpose. So I'm gonna make an exception, and I want to be accountable with this, that I'll only be gaming because of the need/cause. Reason is not because I desire to play, but because all this must be under the control of the Spirit. I've got another day or so to think about this and discuss it, so... we'll find out when I blog about the outcome next weekend.

I'm so inspired by my Singaporean brothers and sisters. I mean, this is what I live to see happen, and even after hearing what they've been able to do so far, I'm not satisfied. I want more. I wanna see more. I've been so blessed by the whole C&S team. Just being able to watch them being real, being agents of transformations, being passionate and being true to the call of Christ. Just blows my mind away and reminds me over and over and over again, that it can happen here in Malaysia and I will be part of it. I will be part of it. I will be part of it!

Because God is able.

And how incredibly "timely", that this was what Louie Giglio spoke about at Passion, Kuala Lumpur. It's about making our lives count. This is dream. My passion. My heart's cry. My destiny even.

I have purposed in my heart to make my life count.

I have purposed in my life to be part of what God is doing.

I have purposed in my heart to honor Him above all things.

Relevance in Reverance.


I guess it all sounds a little haywired. But heck, sometimes you gotte be crazy to do some things. And if this means I'm going to have to be crazy for Christ, then so be it. These are indeed perhaps the most exciting times of our lives. Last days are around the corner. How blessed I am to be given the privilege of service in the last days.

"In these last days, we will be faced with the greatest challenges of our times. But we have also been called then, to be the greatest conquerors of our times".
- Me.

I'll be going to Singapore again tomorrow morning. Will only be back Saturday morning ETA 4-5am. Crud, ok. I just have to post this because it's so hiliarious.

When I went down to Singapore last Tuesday, as usual, they stop you at customs and do the standard crap. So I hand over my passport, get the looks, etc, AND THEN!!!!!!...

Customs Lady: So sir, where are you going?

Me: *baffled and dazed, glances towards Singapore gates* Uh, Singapore?

Customs Lady: This IS Singaporeeeeeeeeeeee! Where are you goingggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!

(K, little bit of exaggeration there.)

Me: *even more baffled and lost in wonder* Uh, going for training at, etc... *points at Pastor Daniel who was just a bit ahead of me*

Customs Lady: Oh, YMCA is it? Say la.

Me: (=.=)"

Honestly. The question is "Where are you staying, sir?" not "Where are you going?"

Doh. =)
