The Good Report

Icon

whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil 4:8

Your Eye Is On The Sparrow

Lifting my voice:

“… And I will run to You,
To Your words of truth,
Not by might, nor by power,
But by the Spirit of God…”

—-
For a heavenly Father who counts even the hair on my head, I’m thankful.
Thank You for keeping me sane. : >

Spirit of Enterprise Awards 2006

* click on picture for more photos!

With the passing of SOE ’06 Awards Ceremony lunch event yesterday noon, I officially stepped down as the Student-Governor of SOE.

It was an eye opener for me to have served on Board with some noteable Singapore SME bosses this past year. The meetings I went for were like .. wow.. haha. ( I think the value of their cookies and tea were so much more than the imputs I gave- if any in the first place.)

Guest Speaker was Ron Sim, Founder of Osim, the massage chair which Zhang Fei sits (or sat.) Did he?

Jingting’s face is on the brochure they gave out. Shall surprise her this Saturday when I see her if she hasn’t read this entry by then!

SOE has also launched its fourth book, I’m The Boss!, available in all major bookstores soon. Please support (read: BUY).

Peishan and I had a great time with our lunch companions, all of whom are quite big shots in the accounting and banking industries. Quite cool. The setting was very informal and I think both of us went back to school with much valuable advice.

In the meantime… it’s back to AA2o1 and AC213!
Projects. If it helps.

ARISE & BUILD

Pouring out this treasure You gave
In Your promises our hearts turn brave
I will arise and lay down this sacrifice
As we’re building Your house on high…

It is coming…

Your Grace is Sufficent

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth. “
Ps 121:1-2

Projects, Assignments, Presentations and Quizes.
A time of stretching. I’m loving it…

Cos He’s near. :p

The Weight of Words

The same words can be spoken by different people and they will have different effects.

Though all of us are entitled to our thoughts and opinions and some feel very passionate about certain subjects, people generally follow those who have attained a level of success in the area where they share, especially in their field of work, inter-personal relationships and family.

Consider the difference in impact when a rich man and a poor man when they say “there are better things in life than having great wealth.”

Consider the difference in impact
when the top scholar in school and the below average student says that “I got my grades because I put God first in my life and studies.”

Consider the difference in impact when a man of character and a fool says that God moulds use through the trials and tribulation. ( The latter suffers for his foolishness. )

Consider the difference in impact when a proven soldier in the battlefield and a soldier who deserted his comrades say “war is futile.” The proven soldier’s words will provoke thinking.

Consider the difference in impact when a godly man and a hypocrite say “God’s gentleness has made me great.” The latter’s words is disgusting.

For words to weigh, it will take:

A Hardy to share about giving,

A Cechao to share about love and kind words,

A Yang Zheng to share about serving,

A Jimmy to share about business leadership,

A Zhenghao to share about excellence in academics,

A Johnson to share about loving the lost,

A Nancy to share about the merits of having a guitar during QT,

A Peishan to share about intellect and excellence,

An Elaine or Sherilyn to share about creativity… and so on..

Therefore, it is not really about how eloquent we can be, but really, who we are.

Observe the traits of your mentors and those you want to learn from. These people have the knack of influencing you and their words someone seemed more valuable than others who can say the same thing.

The influence of the Church today is the sum total of the influence of each and every member in the Body of Christ out there in the marketplace. To bring kristos kai kosmos, we must constantly seek to lead lives with integrity, that is, a life where others see is consistent with what is inside us.

To see our world change, we must change ourselves. Preach only what you practice. If there is any area where we feel strongly that we want others to rise up to, let it begin with us.
