Are you burn out?

I think people nowadays are very concern how they should not burn themselves out and be selective in the things they do.

I myself is concern about this issue because many times I ask myself am I doing too much, do I need more rest and not do other things? Work is something that most of us love to hate and many of us at times are left with no choice but to sacrifice our time for work. Of course we need to work for if we say no to work, how are we gonna feed ourselves/ our family?

People can easily fall into the trap of putting work first on top of many things, including their relationship. One should know that it is only right for one to work so that he or she can provide for their family and their own daily needs. One should find the right balance in life.



We can get burn out by focusing too much on work and indirectly, and at times unknown to us, we are rule over by our work. One needs to see that the one who rules our lives is non other than Jesus.

One should always put Jesus first in their heart and all other things will fall into place.

If Jesus is first, we can trust Him to lift our burdens.
If Jesus is first, we will not let work be the king of our lives rather to learn to be content in our job.
If Jesus is first, we can joyfully use our time for His sake and not for ourselves.
If Jesus is first, we will truly be able to love our loved ones wholeheartedly without any complains.
If Jesus is first, we don't have to worry about burn outs for He will surely take care of those who seeks Him.

May God be glorified in the decisions we make in our lives.

APEC 1st day

Well, today is the first day I am deployed for the APEC. Quite enjoy the work but the only problem is that it ends late. Meaning if I can't make it for the last bus I will have to take a taxi back home.

Today I just managed to take the last bus home, praise the Lord!! Not so sure about tomorrow.

Looks like I will only be able to check my email and maybe blog at these late hours for the next few days.

Pray that the APEC will go on smoothly and also something more important to pray for, the BGB Combined Camp. It's happening next month.

Thank God for Evelyn, Paul, Xiuling, Danny, Matthew, John and the Captains support so far. Pray that everything will fall into place.

Is he talking?

According to Evelyn, Amos is starting to learn to talk now.

Wonder what will be his first word.....

Are you a good shepherd?

Being a DG leader is not just about leading the bible study. We are to be the shepherd for God.

Providing love and care at a personal level is also important.

Skills and technique can be pick up along the way, what matters the most is the desire to guide the members towards living Godly lives.

Thank God for the DG Leaders' Retreat today, but it's a pity not all the leaders turn up.

Pray that God will give us the will and heart to do His will. Let not be afraid to go the extra mile for our members. All glory belongs to our Lord.

The good thing about time

The good thing about time is that you dun have to worry how it is going to past, it will just past by itself.

I was stress in handling the campaign last Sat and finally it's over. Praise the Lord.

It's the reading of God's word and prayer that God help me to pull thru those tough time. We are always very easy to fall into the trap to rely on our on strength to settle things when we forget that we are called to seek Him first in all we do.

Be it relationship, work, study or money we must always seek God first for our heavenly father knows what we need and surely Him will provide.

When in time of suffering, we should pray for God's help rather than wish for the time to fly past quickly. Time is in His hands.

Even when the road in front is dark His word is the light that will show us the path, maybe not the path we have intended but surely the path that's good.

In the Lord we trust. Seek Him first before you wander too far.

I am looking forward to Sunday.

How I wish I can jump to Sunday now. Too many things to handle for my event on Saturday. But I know the right thing to do is to trust in the Lord.

Pray that I will trust in Him and that what ever happens I will do to glorify Him.

Don't turn away from those in need

The second half of the year have many ups and downs and to be frank, I am really overwhelmed. But I thank God that I am able to cast all my concerns and prayers to God.

Think it's human nature to avoid getting involved in problems of others cause we worried that they may take up too much of our time or it might be too heavy for us to bear.

The Lord commands us to love our neighbour. We must not be too worried to be there for others when they want us to help them. Our first instinct should always be to listen to them and commit their concerns and worries to the Lord through prayer. And whether we do something practically or to only offer them support through prayer, the Lord will guide us along the way.

The fear of committing too much or the pressure of helping others is something we should not have because we should never reject someone who is in need. Have we forgotten who saved us in our time of need? Don't be afraid if people want to look for you for help, for we know who is in control.

We will never know if we can fully help them but one thing for sure is every moment we spend with them is a chance to encourage, for fellow believers, to persevere in their faith in Christ or for them, non believers, to come to know our great God.

Simply be a witness and let God take care of the rest.

May the Lord watch over those who are burdened in their life that they may turn to the Lord for help.

Subject or Object

Don't be the subject of lust, for you will risk your relationship with God.

Don't be the object of lust, for you may cause others to stumble.

Flee from the object and don't tempt the subject.

Imitate God, for we are bought at high price, justified through our Lord Jesus.

Be holy, not worldly.
