Unhealthy Relationships:
1.We mistake love for physical attraction, neediness and the need to rescue or be rescued. (Examine how your desperation effects your perception)
2.We choose emotionally and physically unavailable people in relationships. (Examine your fear of intimacy)
3.We pick people who treat us poorly by being punishing, critical, controlling or demeaning. (Examine your low self-esteem.)
4.We lose interest in our own personal interests and activities and become enmeshed with the one person and their interests. (Examine your boundaries.)
5.We stay in and return to unhealthy relationships. (Examine your fear of loneliness.)
6.We begin sexual relationships or become emotionally attached without really knowing someone. (Examine your boundaries.)
7.We fantasize about who we think someone is and then are crushed when they fall short of that fantasy. (Examine what is reality vs. fantasy)

Healthy Relationships:
1.When something is wrong we can talk about it.
2.We encourage each other to be better people.
3.Having separate interests and friends isnt a threat.
4.We can be vulnerable about feelings with some degree of safety.
5.We can handle difficult situations as a team.
6.We both are dedicated to spending quality time with each other.
7.Trust builds through our growing capacity to be honest with one another.

A Broken Heart

Ah. It's been a long time since i posted something.

Well..Been hearing lots of people crying, telling me that love hurts..I was hurt too.. But it's not love that hurts.. Envy hurts.. Jealousy hurts.. Anger hurts.. Rejection hurts.. Don't mix all these things together with love! People get hurt by all these things because of their "love" for someone. A girl that you know on the internet whom you haven even seen before might just be your target for your "love". A guy whom you know for a few days, or maybe a girl you knew at a club, or just a random guy whom you fell in love with at first sight.

The word love has been used too easily.. Love has become, so simple. Simple in a sense that, people can love someone through over the internet and without spending a long time knowing the other party. The older version of love in chinese was 愛..it has a heart written in it.. now it's 爱.. the heart's gone. Well it sort of depicted how the heart was not needed for love anymore. Kinda reminded me of how God used chinese characters to speak to us when Pastor Kong preached about God in ancient China.

But i still believe in 愛. It's always around me. My friends, my cell group members, my family, and people around me. I know they love me. Love isn't just about bgr yo! Was really touched and woken up when Stuart Wee Teck Ming said "i love you" to me on msn. Hahahahaha. Love is about giving to others unconditionally and accepting them for who they are, and not just romance. Woo! It's time to find back the love i had for people awhile ago. It's time to bring my heart back to the right track. It's time to refocus my love to all the people that needs the Love itself.

Thanks for loving me.
<3

Year 2010

Friday, January 1, 2010
2009 countdown was simply awesome. There's so much love among everyone in that small little room. It was started right. Every burden and problem in 2009 was lifted up to Daddy. I realized i wasn't very positive during 2009, with all the mountains and valleys. Because one thing i left out was, even though you may be in the valley of the shadow of death, He will be with you. But nevertheless, 2009 was not wasted at all. I've gotten stronger in a way, broken in a way, humbled in a way. When God says "NO", he really meant "NO". I was sooooo stubborn. Kay Daddy, we don't emo already, if you say no, then i won't do it.

2010 New Year Resolution

1. Get an electric guitar!
2. Rise up as a cell group guitarist.
3. Continue my oh-stopped-for-so-long bible study.
4. Jog every week with my Eunos neighbor.
5. Get an IPhone.
6. Improve my relationship with my dad and Dad.
7. Have some savings, like maybe $200? Like finally? My bank has nothing!
8. Go jamming with gene, acoustic or electric, i dun care. Gotta start practising now!
9. Win 5 souls this year. I believe.
10. Get to really know everyone in the CG.

A little confession..
Things hadn't worked out, things got worse, things got messy. I'm just so sorry for everything. Hate me or love me, I'll always be there. 2009 is over, it's 2010. I hope it's the year where everything will change.

GEESE!

Saturday, August 29, 2009
I'm very amazed, at how even geese can teach us lessons about life. Here's to share, credits to my cell group leader WenShan, haha.

1# Fact: As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in a V-formation, the whole flock adds 72% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.

Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of another.

2# Fact: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it.

Lesson: If we have as much sense as a goose we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give out help to others.

3# Fact:When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position.

Lesson: It pays to take turns going the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each other's skills, capabilities, and unique arrangements of gifts, talents, and resources.

4# Fact: The geese flying formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.

Lesson: We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one's heart or core values and encourage the heart and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek.

5# Fact: When a goose gets sick, wounded, or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.

Lesson: If we had as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

6# Fact: Geese fly South for the winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Lesson: It is a reminder to take a break from the cold of winter and take a vacation to some place warm & sunny to rejuvenate ourselves.

7# Fact: The larger flocks of geese usually inhabit areas where geese eating for humans is more popular or in demand, and where there are smaller flocks of geese flying, there is usually smaller demand for geese, to be used for human food. * This fact according to the Oklahoma State University Board of Regents study on geese.

Lesson: Larger flocks of humans together may not always be as effective as smaller flocks who are able to maneuver much more quickly in life and business without being eaten up by the competition...so to speak. ;-) (yes, this was a stretch, but relevant, no? :)

My Beloved

My Beloved is mine, and i am His.

I've promised to forsake all that I have for You,
but I clung on and defiled myself.
I've called You my Lord,
but servant i am not.
I am sorry my Friend,
to neglect You because of the flesh.

I renew my covenant with You.
I give my all for all of You.
I shall do what You want, and not what I want.
I will fellowship with you my Friend.

I love You more than life itself.
I remembered my first love.
I will woo You again.
Through trials and tribulations,
test my heart.
As i make these promises,
judge me according to my actions.
Remind me always of my covenant with You.
Amen.

Adult Adolescence

Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Nowadays, I've been reading a book of pastor Kong's. One particular chapter talks about 'adult adolescence'. It means to be childish while being an adult. In my own opinion, being mature isn't easy. Some people might become mature in age, but not in character. I am working towards to being a more matured guy myself, ha!

Pastor Kong lists out certain immature characteristics for us to take note of:

(1) The child is the center of his own universe. Everything revolves around him.

(2) The child is insensitive to the needs of others.

(3) The child demands his own way. And if he doesn't get his own way, the next thing happens.

(4) The child throws temper tantrums.

(5) The child is irresponsible in behavior. Children are not born obedient. They have to learn obedience.

(6) The child is unable to be reasoned with.

(7) The child only obeys concrete authority.

Do you think you're mature enough? Think again.

And the Lord said,"To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying,'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we mourned to you, and you did not weep."
Luke 7:31-32
