Afterthoughts about Red Cliff and other stuff..

Watched Red Cliff 2 (Chi Bi) on Sunday.. Haha, that's a show i never thought i would watch! Hahaha... but i must say it is really quite interesting.. And i understood it! So, yes! haha! Anyway.. Just wanted to pen down some thoughts i had during the movie..

1. Plan in advance
When the war begins, you really really need to know what to do, what you had planned, etc.. It is so messy once it starts! No time to think! In the same way, learn to plan in advance and be clear of your plan. Or else, when the situations come, if u are not clear of what to do, you might act irrationally..

2. Be Flexible
Even if you had planned, learn to be flexible and act according to situations.. Know and accept that situations do change..

3. Learn to Take a step back and think before acting
I like Zhu Ge Liang's character in the show.. He is smart, in control, yet has so much peace.. He knows how to "relax" when everyone else is just getting stressed about it.. Take a step back and seek the Lord.. Seek His wisdom..Before acting...

Just some thoughts that crossed my mind as i watched the show.....

--

anyway! I've packed my room, and it is really VERY neat now!! So happy to be in my room! ahahaha... anyway..... as i packed my room, i also tidied all my things... I found some precious notes we had during team meeting! Been re-reading "Drawing Near" by john bevere.. Exerpts of it that we photocopied out and del shared during team meeting...

Passion for His Presence
"(Talking about the ISraelites) They are happy and thankful as long as God is doing what they want and unhappy whenever God isn't doing what they want when they want it. Their core motivation is evidenced by their behavior and words under pressure; it's all abou them. They elevate their desires over His heart or presence".

"Don't take things and face with your own strength.. Ask the Lord "What do you want me to do?

What is your core motivation? It will mark what you do everyday.

Have peace in God..

Is your core motivation to be in God's presence always? Do you hunger for who God really is?"

*Learning to make my core motivation to be in the Lord's presence and to walk with Him each moment of each day*

God bless,
Crow

9 January 2009..

Just 9 days into the new year, yet it seems so much longer!!

Well, i thank God it's been a good year so far.. hmm, many thoughts still in the process, no concrete plans yet... mm... taking each day as it comes and praise God for the pleasant surprises each day :)

As many of u know, i'm planning to take up a graduate diploma in social work.. if i get it, will start school in august... part time studying... so will still be working as per normal... well, a little worried about coping, yet i feel that i just have to push myself.. Hmm, His grace is sufficient for me..

learning each day what it means to live simply.... well... i don't know... today, as i saw del, emmanuel and dennis holding hands and just walking along happily, it just stirred up something in me... (no lah, not to get married lah, haha...) hahaa... perhaps about contentment... and a pure trust..

it's 1.37am in the morning and i;m still not sleeping! Oh no!! HAhaa... Stop rambling on and on, crow! Good Night!! :)

Yes Man

back from lunch early, so decided to blog a bit about a show i just watched a few days back - Yes Man!

Good show! Basically, it's about this guy who was getting nowhere in life, who attended a "Yes Man" conference and entered a covenant to say Yes to every opportunity that steps in to his life... Through it he encountered things that he never did, learnt things he never thought he would and met many new people.. At the end of it, he learnt that it's not just about saying yes to everything... it's about opening yourself to the many options and opportunities that life presents to you, yet still having the choice to agree/disagree to them....

For me, what struck me most was that i think many times i do not recognise and snap opportunities.. Many times these opportunities just go pass me.. Perhaps out of nua-ness, maybe due to myself being to comfortable at status quo...

Learning to say YES to opportunities that come my way - opportunities to learn, to give, to meet, to grow.... :)
