Today's special...Do not be afraid.
The Lord who created you says: "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you."
Isaiah 43:1-2 NLT
If you know the animations "Heman" and "Shelagh", you would probably remember a curse that the main character always use before gaining energy and fighting against a bad guy. The curse is something like "XXXX, give me power". After then, the main character is full of power and defeats the bad guy.
Why am I saying this? Well, the verses of Isaiah 43:1-2 reminds me about this. Isaiah 43:1-2 to me is like the curse to Heman or Shelagh, after reading it, I am full of power and courage. I am not afraid of any troubles and difficulties no more for my Lord is always with me. A successful person is not the one who has never got into troubles and difficulties, but the one who can overcome them with no fear. It sounds so unrealistic because fear is a natural feeling we have since birth. But if we have faith on HIM and trust HE is with us and protect us, we will overcome our feeling of fear and have the power to overcome any troubles and difficulties.
Any comments are welcome.

God-family
Tuesday night is badminton night. Tonight is very special because my god-brother Sunny joined us. My god-mom introduced him to others as my brother. So now the other people thought I have a real brother. Hehehe, I am so happy that my family is expanding. I have a real family including parents, sisters, sister-in-law and niece. And then a god-family (in church), including god-parents, god-brother and god-sister. Now I have another god-family and Sunny is the new member of our god-family. I love Sunny. He's been my friends for many years. We see each other very often and we have several things in common, like dinning out and our favourite food is dessert. He is one of my best friends.
Here is one of the limitations for us human. When we are losing something or someone, we always focus on what or who we will lose but never think of what or who we will gain in exchange. This is very wrong. God is fair and merciful. HE never make us suffer. Taking example of my experience of breaking up with my previous boyfriend, what I saw was losing a boyfriend and the relationship at that time. But what I did not see was more love from others and better relationship with my family and friends. Because of them I could be able to overcome a lot of difficult times. From this experience, I have felt God's mercy and love.
Family, friends and lover are all important to me and they cannot substitute to one another. Now, I have families and friends. The last one is left unknown. So if any of you know or suspect who he is, please contact me directly.
May God's mercy and love cover you every moment. Amen.

Laziness, am I?
I have not updated my blog for a month! Am I lazy? Well, as I said, my laptop was broken and I cannot go online everyday.
But because of my EMAS trip, I will start writing what's happening about this trip from now on.
Preparation: I've done very little so far. But got my visa and shots done. Everything is still under control.
Notes: I bought a book for a friend on Saturday, but now I hesitate to give it to him...should I or shoud I not?
