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,
