Passion Toronto



alrite so Passion Toronto was nite..like many others .i can simply say "WOW"...to see just hundreds n hundreds of students from all the different universities in Ontario..n yes the ppl from Alberta as well..juss simply gatherin for one purpose n one vision...that is to see God glorify in their campuses n in Toronto...to see the stadium completely filled...with hands lifted high to His majesty...juss like wut mike was sayin in the testimony...God is puttin the chess pieces in place...and we are His pawns, bishops, rooks and knights...and He is moving us in all the campuses...n when God makes His final move we WILL see Him glorify in this city and in the campuses everywhere...

Isaiah 26:8: “Yes Lord, walking in the way of Your truth we wait eagerly for You, for Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.”*
*This version of Isaiah 26:8 is a combination of the NIV and NASB translations.

lastly want to thank gloria for goin the extra mile in drivin me home last nite...much much much appreciated

It's all about ATTITUDE

It's all about Attitude...

Attitude towards the work you do
Attitude towards the people around you
Attitude towards yourself

kind of a typical story but...

found dis on ralph's msn space... http://www.kindness.com.au/angel_dust.htm
it seems like another one of those stories, to remind us to cherish life...
juss seems like two lines stood out more to me dan ever b4...

"Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savour, not endure."

"And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that it is special. Every day, every minute, every breath truly is ... a gift from God."

illuminate eh?

Meant for so much more
Heirs to an everlasting kingdom
Chosen to be His holy nation
Yet we want this world of darkness
And walk away from a LOVE like no other
Funee isnt it just the way we think
If only we all choose to fly, choose to *SHINE
And choose to let the radiate light break from its captivity deep within

stolen from enoch...

stole this from enoch, which he got out of his devo book..

"The test of a man's religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does during the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights...It takes a long time to get [in union with God], but keep at it. Don't give up because the pain is bad just now, get on with it and before long ou will find you have a new vision and a new purpose." - Oswald Chambers.

on a side note...funee how my previous post generated the most comments compare to my other ones lately...hmmm

Oct 10, 2005

Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

A Living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you

Let my lifesong sing to You

so the theme for ccf dis yr is "Move"..."Move In and Move Out"...even tho im not at ccf dis yr...itz great to hear wut their theme is for dis yr...haha it was funee when gloria was trying to explain to me wut the theme was hahaha

n e who da theme is taking from dis verse,
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. " ~ Malachi 3:10

it'll sure b wicked stuff..to go bak to UofT next yr..n see dat God has busted open the floodgates of heaven on dat place...

Sep 12, 2005

so why "GRRRR" ?

so today was not the best day at work..it was the first day where i had to fend for mysself..cuz da old interns left...n right in da morning...ppl come by n dey r like. .."tim dis needs to b done by the end of the day"..n it was migration testing...now for those dat dont kno...migration test is when u test whether a product still works fine after u had installed the upgraded verison of it...so basically had to test it for each release n for each port da product works on(unix, windows, hp-ux, aix, solaris,...)

da actual tests rnt hard..but settin it up to do the tests..let's juss say it takes FOREVER !!! n it doesnt help when ppl give me wrong instructions...cuz dey were confused bout sumthin..ARGH ! n wut else ? hard to install things on crappy hp-ux machines when the servers r soooooooo slow..all in all...n i didnt leave work till 7:30ish n i finished bout an hour ago.....

n guess what ? tml i gotta do it again for a different verison of the product..yahhhhhhh :)

if u havent guessed...today was the worst day of work so far...ironically it was the first day ppl went bak to skool at UofT...i totally wanted to b dere instead today...

GRRRR

IM STILL AT WORK !!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH !

Sep 11, 2005

Knowing You...

All I once held dear, built my life upon.
All this world reveres, and wars to own.
All I once thought gain, I have counted loss.
Spent and worthless now, compared to this.

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You.
There is no greater thing.
You’re my all, You’re the best.
You’re my joy my righteousness.
And I love You Lord.

Now my heart’s desire is to know You more.
To be found in You, and known as Yours.
To possess by faith what I could not earn,
All surpassing gift of righteousness.

Oh to know the power of Your risen life,
And to know You in Your sufferings.
To become like You, in Your death my Lord.
So with You to live, and never die.

finally got Braveheart on dvd yesterday..it is such a good movie..watched it again dis morning...itz juss truly amazin to c how William Wallace (da main character) tryin to make his dream into a reality..dis is wut i got from the movie..n how it relates to my life..

William Wallace though started his rebellion cuz the English official killed his wife...but it led to his dream of freedom for Scotland..which was under English ruled at the time...n da whole movie is about this dream of his..n how he tries to make it come tru...i tink often for me...dere r times when i will have a total surge of wantin to do sumthin..den it fades...cuz the passion fades....often i tink for a lot of us...the passion juss comes n goes...at one point in our lives we would really want sumthin to happen..n do wut we can to c it happen..but as the passion dies or when things don't go our way...we lose hope n give up....passion does come n go..but the dream will never die...i totally takes more commitment to make a dream to come tru than passion...tho passion might get u take ur first steps down dat path..it is commitment gets you thru the journey....it juss got me tinkin cuz in da beginning of dis summer...dere were a lot of things i wanted to c happen by the end of summer..den things happen...n my personal time juss get decreased extremely n da passion to follow thru juss dies...i tink itz often when things like dis happen ...change will never occur...n dream will never come tru..but the dream does not die..it NEVER dies...it is in each one of us...n it is for us to commit to it...n make it come tru...

so wut now ? it totally starts w/ dat dream..better yet..dat vision..vision to wut we want to c happen around us...more specifically it is God's vision for our lives..for our ministry...for our time here...it is knoin wut He has planned for us..wut He wants us to do...where He wants us to go...unless we have a vision we wouldnt even kno where to take our first step...we'll b lost...we given a sense of direction w/ dat vision...William Wallace had a dream he wanted Scotland to b freed...n everything he did...was focused on dat goal...no matter how hard the journey may b...he would not wander away from his path towards dat goal....once we got dat vision...it'll actually involves us to get into action.to move towards the goal...tho the journey mayb tough..mayb discouraging...seein His vision come tru will b worth every single step...every moment of hardship...i tink often i get discouraged a lot...becuz i do not c the fruits of the labor...juss teaching Sunday School the past yr..or helping out in JICC...sometimes it juss makes me wonder if i get thru the kids or not...or do dey even care about wut im sayin to dem...itz like spending so much time on sumthin..yet dere r no result..but itz endless work..n truly i kno i am wrong to tink dat way..n i tink juss from the last month's JICC event...my attitude has changed bout this...juss seein da children play their hardcore Bible quiz game...n hearin their answers to these questions..i mainly realized dat even tho i may not c the fruits of the labour rite away..it doesnt mean dere isnt n e ....n i cant expect immediate change to occur..all fruits take time to ripe...i juss gotta b patient..n joyful to kno dat God has used me in some way...heck Scotland gained their freedom after William Wallace died...

alrite im done writin on dis topic..sorry if my thoughts were all over the place...i kno itz pretty scattered..i juss wrote wuteva came into my mind....

thnx tracy...

so tracy has told me dat da quote from "Coach Carter" is actually part of a poem by Nelson Mandela...oh man..i suck..where here is the whole poem..the real deal..

Our Greatest Fear


Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

such a good movie...

bought the coach carter dvd today..hahaha itz so messed up.dey give u a free toque dat says "Coach Carter on DVD" on it..hahaha..but o well da movie is wicked...

here is one goooooood quote from it..

Coach Ken Carter: What is your deepest fear?
Timo Cruz: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our dark that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you.We are all meant to shine as children do. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsiously give other people to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

reacquainting myself w/ Him

Still
Words and Music by Reuben Morgan

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

"We Believe" ~ Good Charolette

There's a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asks God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can't sleep at night

Downtown
Another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There's no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right?
Just wanna make this right

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love

We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pain(So let it be)
There's a love that could fall down like rain(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for(We believe)

This world is crying for so much more

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love

So this world
Is too much
For you to take
Just lay it down and follow me
I'll be everything you need
In every way

We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love(In this love)

stole it from enoch's page...

itz crazee how enoch can juss relate all this anime stuff to biblical values and also his own christian walk...herez a bit i stole from his blog which i thought is quite interestin..n sumthin i need to tink bout myself as well..

" Anyway, a new and interesting character in Naruto has appeared. i guess he's not new, but his back story is now being introduced. This character kills his entire clan (except his younger brother) in order to attain new heights of power. Repectable or Insane? I'd say both. To hold all else insignificant compared to power. Kinda how we should approach Christianity? "These kinds of things should be done away with, as it restrains us and our capabilities" - Itachi ~ If only we could rid ourselves of all the things that hinder us from Christ. Itachi destroys his clan because they are in his way. What do i need to rid myself of? "

itz been too long..time to find my way bak

Alive in this Moment
~ starfield

It's been so long since I have met You here
Since I have said these words or cried these tears
And like a child would come I run into our secret place
And as the music fades, the tears are rolling down my face

I am alive in this moment
In this moment I am found
I am alive in this moment
In this moment I belong

It's been so long since I have met You here
Since I have heard You speak or let You near
And like a wayward son I've come with nothing left to hide
Here in this moment I have come to offer up my life

Here only one fire burns, it burns
Here only one melody is heard
Once again for the very first time
My eyes are opening

Mar 26, 2005
