Hees. Was reading 11 to 12 this morning...Hmm....Something hit upon me. I used to think that God did not want the humans to acheive building the tower of Babel .Therefore he confused their Language. I used to think that it is because the humans are going to become arrogant by trying to make a mark for themselves and also by going against's God's command of spreading and multiplying over the earth that God went to confused their language.
I was given a new insight today. From my beloved God of Course! Hahaz. Guess What . He confused their Language out of love. Hees. Can link? Ok..The Human are making bricks...and...using tar as Cement. They attempted to build a tower that reaches to the heavens(sky). So picture it . Guess what will happen? With science, we know that Heaven ain't up there. So these poor little things will continue to build and build. A wasted effort. Not only that . They are using Tar instead of Cement.Now imagine a huge tower collapsing. SO God in attempt to prevent such foolish effort , accomplished His commandmant and prevent further foolishness; confused their language.
We are given alot. In Verse 6 it says that because the humans are speaking a single language , nothing is impossible for them. I see it in this way . Cool! nothing is impossible. Like giving a child a gun.Like the above example, if God had not intervene. Yes ! they will succeed. They will build higher and higher in attempt to reach a heaven that is not there. Since we are too gifted for our own good, God remove that gift from us.
Sounds bad right? Well ...if a child is given a whole house...and that child is not capable of maintaining a house, would you not have someone to go and take over the house? And only return the house to the child after the child has grown capable enough to take care of the house?
Like what Uncle Kid says. He was given alot but since he was not a responsible steward, it was taken from him.A similar story can be found in the parable or the talents . God out of love do take away thing from us if it ain't going to benefit us. He will give you more if you can handle more. In Psalms the Psalmist said Do not make me too rich or I make Forget you (God) and says who is the Lord? So God plays an active part in our lives. Watching over us. Testing and Evaluating us. He sees how capable are you and give/train you accordingly. That's how close God is.
Genesis 12:2-3 2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
We are Blessed to bless!!!That's a clue on how to be a good stward of your gifts.
Awwww...Stomach ache le...Shall stop now....Gen 12:10-20 is a good example whereby Man depended on his wisdom other than God's guildance. HAHAz. Ouch..cannot type le...

Kid
I am very touched by some of the following youths. ..... - Yuki: availability and willingness, although he behaves like a kid at times. .....
Wahahaz. Been Waiting for this...but not in the way he placed it. I guess I've over done it or more likely misintepret and messed up again.
Project Xiao Qi is a failure I guess. Still ...not a reason to feel sad. I did have fun.
Confused? Ok...I'm working on what is child-likeness. Hees. Yeah...All these funny Fun stuff. BUT!!! There is a difference between Childishness and Child-likeness. Guess..THis time I'm towards the Childish side.
Hmmm....Enough of that.....
Recent Information I've got regarding two groups of people in my life has not been positive.
I think ..people might get hurt this time... People from my youth...or at least they would hurt someone and it is going to be a serious hurt. I'm a bit or nervous because I can't see how I can prevent it from happening.....God provided me sources and information...from a few people but...I don't know how to utilise them. Hahaz. But I got the picture what would happen if nothing is done. I just hope...that the Guys of my Youth would be more responsible and for Satan just planted a big bomb ....through me .
Pray hard People....Pray hard...Prayer moves mountains..Like what Don said.
Yesterday we were waiting for taxi to go Carrin's place to practise Our Dance Item for the camp.
WE had huge trouble getting a taxi. But after a simple prayer request to God, God provide two taxi. Just enough for everyone at the same time!!!! HAhaz.. That's not it. Hazel was waiting on another side of the road. Her taxi came before mine but hers have to do an about turn. I was worried that My group will not be able to get a taxi. But God's faithfulness reassured me. He never fails. My taxi came a while later. Both Hazel and me picked up our members at the same time!! We reached too at the same time!! Beat that!! No time wastage. That's the Beauty of leaving things to God! Things may not be appearing right. BUT!! In his time, He makes all things TRUELY BEAUTIFUL! It's just that we at times believe Satan's lies that God is not giving us the best and doubted God by talking things into our hands that we messed up things.
Won a competition 2 days ago .... got a $50 Voucher for this old man named Tan something..hahaz His Number ...which is my number is 13 !! Cool huh?
Dance Practise was fun yesterday. My body almost cannot take it le but still can go on for ...erm...like....ermmm...Forever? Cause God's my Strength. Hees. Unlimited Power. Guess what? Carrie..a new member of YF joined in the DANCE!!!! Cool...although Matthew was commenting how hot she is hahaz. Well ...She's a fast learner I guess. Never learned Piano but can play canon in D cause she knows the tune. Faint...Talk about being talented.
Fun person. Admit. Great laughter sound too. Oh ya!!! Escape is not super fun but is fun hahaz. I decided to split my group to other groups then join in a group myself. Wahahaahz.. Cunning. Viking Ship is the best!! Cosss.......I ....like it. Faint. AHhaahz
A lot of problems just surfaced....hmmm....life is an ongoing battle with Satan....The battle that goes on till we are face to face with Christ! Who says a Christian's life is boring? It definately beats blending into the world's ways of inflicting hurt to self and others.
To battle again I guess....Never a dull moment !!

Jesus and Santa.
Santa lives at the North Pole ... JESUS is everywhere.
Santa comes but once a year. JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies ... JESUS supplies all your needs.
You have to wait in line to see Santa ... JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little one, what's your name?" ... JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our history & future, and He even knows our hearts & how many hairs are on our heads.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO ... JESUS says "Cast your cares on me for I care for you."
Santa may make you chuckle but ... JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree ... JESUS became our gift by dying on the cross for you & I.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put CHRIST back in Christmas.
No Christ; no Christmas Know Christ; know Christmas!
Hmmm...I was wondering what to put as my profile when I stumbled upon my friendster...
