"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

What's up?

Last month I got news that I would not be involved in the coming reality TV shoot. I was very disappointed at first. Whatever the reason, it was a blessing in disguise. A few weeks later I got a call to work on a Discovery shoot. Initially it was just for one country, but they later asked me if I was interested to do the whole series for this production house that requires me to travel to Taiwan and Korea twice and the last stop will be Japan. I was very apprehensive at first considering the situation at home, but thank God for his provision and the affirmation through SW. For this reason I savoured the 5 days of rest I have after Taiwan. I'll be leaving for Korea tomorrow. I think it'll be a great experience.

I am greatly humbled by this little set-back I had. When I am reminded about the responsibility as a salt and light of the world, I wondered why did I behave so irrationally at bad news? Very often I need to be reminded the hard way that "it's no longer I that lives, but Christ that lives in me". Many times the "self" creeps up and takes over the part that wants Christ to rule within. I am brought to my knees to resolve my disappointment in the blood of Christ. Where was the trust I used to live by? I was so worried I couldn't even hear the Spirit's calling. It was an humbling experience but a timely reminder.

Do not worry...
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...
Do not worry...

Here are some photos from Taiwan... Mostly the side u seldom see or I don't let u see. hahaha...

To be Trusted

To be trusted is to become
vulnerable,
exposed,
naked and
rolled out on the floor like a carpet.
To be read like an open book,
with bookends loosened and its pages spread across the room.
Reading randomly,
picking up the pieces
as my heart breaks into it's own little bits.
Somethings were better left unsaid
like stones left on their own unturned.
Yet to be trusted is so sweet
like honey that sticks in the mouth with sweet memories
of friendships
that once existed.
Let memories revive themselves to relive a life taken over by regrets.
Relieve yourself of your burdens.
Let Christ condemn them into hell.
Trust me but trust Christ more,
because without Him I wouldn't know how to love at all.
Amazing grace!
How sweet the sound!
May this grace in you abound.

TRUST

Blogging here in Taipei. I've been troubled and wondering why I am not doing Contender this time round. Watever the reason, I think I shouldn't complain because I feel I've grown much for the past year and this little setback should make me more humble and more trusting in Christ for all things. One thing that blesses my soul is knowing that God allows setback to happen that we may learn. I have learned much and I am learning still.

The lessons in life is never easy, but they are worth more than their weight.

Lord, if u carried the weight of the Word,




what is this burden that u have me carry?
On a lighter note, I had a great time working on "Calefare". Must be the Luv Crue!
