i thank god for my great care group leader once again ... last tuesday's care group, he summarized pastor's recent messages so well:

year 2006 - year of accerelation

year 2007 - year of new beginning / rest thru toungues (cultivate the presense of god)

i like the part when he shared on the life of the richest man on earth ever ... solomon (bill gate can't even come close), not only is he rich, he's also full of wisdom. BUT after receiving his wisdom ... a few books down ... in the book of ecclesiastes : solomon complained about his life ... so empty, vanity!!!!

WHY??? with $$$$ & wisdom, what more does he want?? ... for more information, please write to 'soooooblessed' ... Heeheee...

the answer is "because solomon stop at whatever he had ... blessings ... richness ... wisdom ... he didn't pursue god as the head of his life ... he didn't cultivate the presense of god in his life"

wow!!! that really encouraged me ...

as for me & my family: this year 2007, i m not going to just count my blessings .... i m going to pursue the BLESSER!!! JESUS!!! i m going to cultivate his presense (talk to him & listen to him) ... i m going to build my happiness on the ROCK that never rolls ...

2006 was definitely the best year in my life SO FAR ... blessings after blessings ... both physical & spiritual.

just 2 days into 2007, zac & i have a great 'father n son' time together ... we drove down to punggol end ... strolled the white sandy beach ... watched people spreading nets, catching fishes, worms ...
