love

Christmas 2008!
best Christmas ever...!

Dear, Thanks for all the love you have given to me...

Thank You Lord, i look forward to the brand new year...

For her!

her understanding, her love, her gentleness, her selflessness, her willingness to sacrifice, her smile, her faith in God...her, just being her.

Though there're challenges ahead of us, she never did give in to any doubts. Her positivity in our future gives me faith n strength to believe.

She's an angel, the best gift from God.. This christmas i ask for no other. I thank God each day for her.

Thanks Dear. I appreciate all that you've done. Love!

The end is coming for e year. I'm embracing new faith, new hope, new love for the brand new year. God's in control! ")

new motto

undelivered promises,unexpressed love, undiscovered potential, unrealised dreams, unspoken words...they all amount to regrets n disappointments. If there's one thing i can decide in this lifetime to do is to not do e above mentioned. I don't wan to live n carry e burden of regrets. I never believed im regrets...never believed in crying over spilled milk. So while I can, i wan2 give my 100%, my best n my all. Before God n all men, i'll do my best to be a better man,a better son, a better bf. Excellence,tad's a new motto!

But God...

The road is long,

The valley's deep,

The ocean is wide in front of me...

BUT GOD saves the day,

JESUS You're the Way,

The Truth, The light

The Hope for all Mankind...

The answer has always been "BUT GOD".

When the going gets tough, the determined pulls through and comes out of it more mature, stronger and more in touch with reality.

Im glad in our relationship, we're very broken before God. And we have to rely on God heavily to pull through. The road ahead of us is long, there's still a long way...we'll hold on and brave the front.

The desire of your passion is seen in your pursuit. Are you willing to stick to what you love, pursue it against all odds until you finally reach your goal?

For us, i know i will.

Let the world witness and testify,

let the people see and praise,

let God bless and prosper,

the decision we've made today!

You are beautiful in all your ways,

you bring about the smile on my face,

your faith inspires me,

and your courage it encourages me...

You give me strength to believe,

and the strength to carry on.

she's one i wana grow old with...

Can God prosper you?

life is made up by the choice you make.

you may not be in your destiny today...but my question for you is, can God prosper you where you are today?!

Consider Joseph in the Bible. Bringing salvation and deliverance to the children of Israel is his destiny! But when he was sold to another to be a slave, he wasn't in his destiny....Still cos of his faith, God prospered him where he was. When he was serving as a maidservant in the palace, accused and sent to jail...he wasn't in his destiny...STILL cos of his faith, God prospered him... And he entered into his destiny!

Can God prosper you even though you may not be at the place of your destiny? The answer is a loud YES! Will He do it? YES he will!

I rather going through the journey of clinging on to God dearly than entering my destiny with no feeling of appreciation of God what God has done...and fall like what many others did cos they don't treasure what they have.

The question to sign or don't sign... the question of whether one is at the right career...all these can be sum up with one word, your faith. It's according to your faith. Keep your faith, hold your hopes up, expect God to bless you and excel in your duties going beyond what's required. God will prosper you.

That's not a good excuse to stop you from stepping out.

Very often, there's no 100% gurantees in life.

my love

i thank God each day that i found you. =)

Not turning back

I'm just an imperfect man, doing my best to do what's right.
I've my weaknesses and i know i am not invincible.

In this world of inperfections, the human tendency has been inclinced to first cast a mental judgement before actually knowing the truth when things are unusual, odd and against the norm.

Logic tells you that a cancer patient in the end stage of his illness has no chance. It tells you to suck thumb and accept what's been put infront of you. And so is he who thinks in his heart. But if he chooses to believe that God's able to make all things possible, than the miracle for a healing lies at the foot of his door.

My point? There's always two sides to a coin.

I know i have many weaknesses and im not trying to prove otherwise.

It took me a long time to make this decision,
and i've finally made it,
the road ahead may be tough but i've decided to stay the course...
Came too far out to turn back now.

281008, official...

I never asked the Lord to give her to me, I simply asked Him to show me His will. Tonight He did, through Eric who gave us His blessings and encouragement for us to face the future ahead. It's official! God's good, the devil's bad and we'll win all the time!

Thank You Lord.

book out! haha

I've been stretched greatly. It has been a physically demanding, mentally exhuasting and intellectually stimulating week for me.

What was odd i would say is having to spend my birthday away from my family and friends for the first time. We had live range on the day, which pretty much took the entire day...haha.

Thanks for those who remembered! I really appreciate it.

Life is made up by the decisions we make in our day to day living.
Every decision made will have an impact, either positive or otherwise.
The kind of life you want to have tml, depends on the decision you choose to make today.
Therefore choose wisely!

Choose what matters most to God.
Choose what matters most to you.

Dare to be you in mist of all these troubling time.
Because God, who made you the way you are, loves you unconditionally.
He knows you through and true.
Dare to be you.

Advance birthday

Lord, Your strength be with me!

Here i go again...

The new chapter will unfold tml. What will i behold? My heart's heavy from all the uncertainties, I carry the heart of a weary soul. Tough time ahead that stands and wait, and the day is approaching near. I have always wanted out, but there's no other way, so i accept this as a call from You. Help me to be the best i can, to shine in the cold dark world. There's no need to fear, cos' i pray You'll be with me and You're my help indeed. In all my ways i'll trust in You and count on Your grace to lead me through.

Oh dear Lord, You know i hate this life. But take away this weight that bears me down. This is Your call for me, so I'll lay my life for you.

I'll do my best, counting on Your directions.

Lead me, I pray.

9 mths of training!

the verdict is out....im going to OCS(army wing)!

Passion

What are you passionate about in life?

Some finds delight in culinary, some find pleasure in movin' and grovin' thru the music, some seeks enjoyment in digging up hard truths in the Word and breaking them up to teach others, some like to help people find directions in life...

Whatever it is....passion is what gives us energy to do what we love best.

Little children drag their feet to school, to clean their room and to finish up their vegetables. Yet the moment you mention about going to the MacDonalds or to the playground they spring back into life!

What is your passion?

Many people has given up their dreams because of the many challenges that stand before them and their goal. I'm thankful that there are many who on the otherhand leaves all that they have to pursue their passion in life.

We all have one life to live. Instead of living it to the fullest, some has given up what they love for the ordinary, for what seems to be safe, for the routine, for the average!

Someone once said: "To discover new land, one must first be willing to lost sight of the shore."

The disciples left all that they had to pursue their love, our Lord. They entered their destiny not because they played it safe but because of their pursuit-they did not give up!

You might say, oh well...what do u know, you don't have a family, you don't have any financial liabilities...

I only got this to say... I rather be on my feet running, trying, getting up whenever i fall than chained to the wall, standing behind bars for the rest of my life. That's freedom! So, before you even have a family, make sure that gal/guy shares the same passion as you and have common understanding!

The sad truth is, sometimes when we are "locked up" for so long... we lose the ability to graze at the stars, instead we focus on the sand on the floor.

I only have one life to live,
I wana live it the way God has intended it for me to...
Get out mediocrity!

where?

10 more hours to posting results...

where shall it be?

the thought of more training...the giving of myself to army... the loss of my time and life...hahaha. there's this overwhelming "sian-ness".

For His glory i will do my best, wherever it is.

Feelings

Feelings.

It is a good servant but never a good master. Many who subject themselves to whatever their emotion dictates find themselves backtracking, regreting the decision they have made due to strong urges.

God's ancient solution has always stayed the same...And it can be summed up in one word: Self-control. The art of restraining oneself may seem to be an act of doubt and not faith to those who joy themselves saved by the grace grace doctrine which huants our generation today. But nevertheless it pays to wait, to hold on, to make the decision to NOT make any decisions implusively when we are very emotional.

Feelings unsubjected to any form of management often lead to bad decisions. Decisions that one would regret making.

Reflecting upon my life, most if not all of the greatest regrets in my life were a direct result of decision made when i was emotional.

Every action in life made have consequences.
Therefore, act wisely!

Expectations

Expectations.

From man or from God?

There's one kind of expectation where one must meet, they are godly standards and requirements that guard our lives.

There's another kind of expectation we have. One which is imposted, either by self or others. These expectations when stretched over the line becomes a burden, dead weight on those who bear them. They lead to stress and frustration, not joy and fulfillment.

Have been hearing comments from people dear to me feeling stress and all...and that sparked off some of my brain juice thinking...

Surely God has set us on this earth, given us jobs so we can all work...its good to excel and shine, but if its done stressfully and in a most upsetting way, den wouldn't it spoil the journey? God delights in the prosperity of His servants, not just in the physical wealth of His people but in the perfecting of our souls-how we manage ourselves, exercise self control and maintain good attitudes/spirits in the most trying times.

Life's simple. Do your best in everything while relying on the Lord. You're not alone, so don't think you are.

Proverbs 3:5-12
5Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding

Manage your expectations today!

What's next?

Its good to back home again!

Its amazing how the same 10 mins ferry ride home seems alot faster today. 9 weeks! 9 long painful weeks. Away from loved ones, away from every familiar sight and smell one could enjoy back in the main land, to taking up arms and assuming responsibility of protecting the nation. One word to describe such change- drastic!

I thank God for being the pillar of strength for me in my weakest, in the darkest night, in the fearful trench and in the latest hour. He has been faithful in supporting me and carrying me through all the ups and downs along the way.

I still remember how dragful it was for me to board the ferry. The 10 mins ride seemed like eternity. Joseph sat beside me and prayed for me.

Re-shifting my thoughts, i prayed: Nothing is by chance, the Lord surely has something in mind for me. God, i'll do my best believing that i can shine for You.

I am not the fittest, not the most vocal, not the most "ga-rang"...yet the Lord chose me to shine for Him and helped me be the best in my platoon. Thank God for such opportunity by His grace.

God has His own plans for everyone of us. When we decide to yield to His plans, there His destiny for us will begin to unfold. This for me was totally unexpected.

Chapter coming to a close, new chapter unfolding.

Where will it be? I'll let God decide.

Tough times don't last, tough man do!

The past 16days have been a humbling experience. You never really do know how much you love what you have until eventually you don't have it anymore.

I love my family, my friends, my comfy bed, my warm shower bath at home, my pets...the list goes on.

Freedom.

The days ahead aren't going to be easy, full of challenges and testings... But my faith is in You.
Tough times don't last, tough man do. God has come to toughen me up. I will get through.

The Lord is my Shepherd

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want

Through the ups and downs of life, the Lord is there, near to those who would let Him come near. He's a guide, a friend who would stand by you, sit with you, put His hands around you when you're down and out. He lends you His shoulder when you're in tears. He welcomes you with open-arms, embracing You in His love and grace. He never turns away.

As i walk through the mountain top, He's there.
As i walk through the valley, He's there.
As i walk through fire, He's there to shield me.
As i walk through the waters, He's there to protect me.
As i walk through life, He promised to never leave or forsake me.

As the Shepherd of our lives, God never sleeps, he never slumbers, he'll never leave us... He's with us, and in us always! And that's the basis and picture of our Great Shepherd.

He leads us to a place of peace and abundance. He guards us from every evil plot. He protects us from the attacks by the enemy. He want us to trust Him and have intimate fellowship with Him.

Follow Him, and He'll lead you to the path that leads to life.
Hear Him, and He'll speak words that'll bring faith and life into you.
Fix on eyes on Him, and He'll walk you through the storms we face in life.
Cling on to Him, when you, He clings on to you!

Last day as civilian (08-07-08)

my last 24 hours as a free man

For four times i asked God to take this away and push it later, yet He would not. I accept this as His will for me. What surrounds my heart and clouds my mind now is the sense of uncertainty together with the sense of mission.

I really wana go in and shine. yet on the other hand, there's this sense of "don't know what to expect" in my heart. In whatever case, i choose to put the Lord first and just do my best. Doing everything on to the Lord.

God works through willing hands. As i willingly put my hand to the plow, work the best i know how, i except God's hands of grace to be with me, prospering whatever i do. God's good, the devil's bad and that's final!

Accepting this as the will of God for me hasn't been easy. Countless times i've come to God to plead my way out, but nothing seems to happen. I chose to obey, even though i don't understand. This bitter-sweet feeling is somewhat familar to all of us, especially Jesus.

I could identify with how He must have felt in the garden praying just before He was betrayed. How He prayed for 3 times, pleading God with tears and nothing happen. Instead of resenting the Lord, He willingly embraced the "higher thoughts and ways" God the Father has installed.
That requires faith and takes a man of character to hold something like that together.

James 1:2-4,12

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything... Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Man

a bird will never fly when it fold its wings in unbelief.
a man will never fulfill his destiny when he chooses to live in fear and comfort.

the world is looking for better methods,
God is looking for a better man-man of character, yeilded to Him.

It takes a tenderheart.
It requires you to speak up.
It needs your commitment.
It involves you serving.
You need to take ownership.

Be that man today.
Through one Man, God set this world free.
Through you, God can change the world too!

Let it be through you!

freedom

freedom

Its a state of the mind, its the condition of ones heart and its also a lifestyle one has. in one's day to day living, though everyone has different experiences in life, what God looks at is our response to it. what we do not have control over, we rely on God. what we have control over, God expects us to deal with it the right way.

in the spirit realm, nothing is hidden from God (and the devil). everything is raw and bare. your condition is evident to all, the stuff that you've done in secret is displayed wide and clear. even though someone could be brave and happy on the outside, the inner condition of the heart and mind becomes a living prison. the soul is restraint, bound and limited, unable to break free.

what are some of the dead weight we carry?
1. habitual sin,
sins that are repeatly commited without acts of actual repentance. with no intention of change and no restitution made to stop sinning.

2. unforgiveness,
rehearsing the pain, anger and hurt repeatly bind one's emotion up, he becomes locked on the inside. as we freely release forgiveness from God, we should find the strength and the grace to freely forgive others who hurt us. afterall, who has never commited any offence before? yet God is willing to die for us on the cross.

3. ungodly beliefs,
beliefs of unworthiness, lack of significanes and value to God, doubts and fears. ungodly and unbiblical beliefs will bind us up, causing us to live a enslaved life.

4. religiousity
when one is religious, he goes through the motion and may even be extremely committed in performing the acts. yet he doesn't have a relationship with God. Martha was religious, he focused on the acts, on performing what is required and what seemed important, neglecting the presence of the Lord which is really the most important thing a believer could have. she instead turned bitter and angry against God, accusing him of not caring enough. religion is dead, powerless to change life and to set you free. Choose to have a relationship with God!

well, the devil has been around for thousands of years setting up traps so that we might fall into them. he's an expert in this field. he wants to trap you and let you live a compromised life under his dominion. But the truth is, God has come to set us free...the battle has already been won!

Claim it in Jesus' name!

Where the spirit of God is, there's liberty.

Open your heart.
Come back to God.
Be honest to God.
Ask Him for help.
Let go off control and let God come in.
Release forgiveness.
Claim your freedom.
Resist the devil.
Expect God to move!
Stay free!

What an awesome God we serve!

God's good!

Beyond compare, magnificient, wonderful, glorious! How awesome is the Lord! There's none compare to Him, His mercy endures forever, His grace is sufficient for all my needs. The joy of the Lord is my strength. In times of trouble, He's my tower of refuge. His a loving kindness leads me beside the still waters, when the flood come I'll not be drowned, when I walk through the fire I'll not be burned and when i walk through the valley I know He's with me!

What an awesome God i serve, His grace abounds toward me wherever i go...His Spirit dwells inside of me and He leads me to walk on higher ground...

How glorious is the Lord, how wonderful are those who call upon His name!

There's no fear, no shame, no guilt, no condemnation in Christ!

His grace is sufficient! =)

Let Him rule and reign.

Love of a Father

After a few of the usual Sunday evening hymns, the church's pastor once again slowly stood up, walked over to the pulpit, and gave a very brief introduction of his childhood friend.With that, an elderly man stepped up to the pulpit to speak, "A father, his son, and a friend of his son were sailing off the Pacific Coast," he began, "when a fast approaching storm blocked any attempt to get back to shore. The waves were so high, that even though the father was an experienced sailor, he could not keep the boat upright, and the three were swept into the ocean."

The old man hesitated for a moment, making eye contact with two teenagers who were, for the first time since the service began, looking somewhat interested in his story.
He continued, "Grabbing a rescue line, the father had to make the most excruciating decision of his life....to which boy he would throw the other end of the line. He only had seconds to make the decision.

The father knew that his son was a Christian, and he also knew that his son's friend was not. The agony of his decision could not be matched by the torrent of waves. As the father yelled out, 'I love you, son!' he threw the line to his son's friend. By the time he pulled the friend back to the capsized boat, his son had disappeared beyond the raging swells into the black of night. His body was never recovered."

By this time, the two teenagers were sitting straighter in the pew, waiting for the next words to come out of the old man's mouth.

"The father," he continued, "knew his son would step into eternity with Jesus, and he could not bear the thought of his son's friend stepping into an eternity without Jesus. Therefore, he sacrificed his son. How great is the love of God that He should do the same for us."With that, the old man turned and sat back down in his chair as silence filled the room.

Within minutes after the service ended, the two teenagers were at the old man's side. "That was a nice story," politely started one of the boys, "but I don't think it was very realistic for a father to give up his son's life in hopes that the other boy would become a Christian."

"Well, you've got a point there," the old man replied, glancing down at his worn Bible.

A big smile broadened his narrow face, and he once again looked up at the boys and said, "It sure isn't very realistic, is it? But I'm standing here today to tell you that THAT story gives me a glimpse of what it must have been like for God to give up His Son for me.

You see....I was the son's friend.

Missions yea!

TML im embarking on another mission trip. One that will take me over the sea to a far away island...

haha. sounds exciting! I have a heart for MISSIONS!

Do home cell group visitations and preach in service! Power! =) Pray for me and my friends: Xinyan, Chloe, Bernice, Diaz, Sam!

POWERFUL 3 sessions and 4 visitations please Lord!

Till we meet again..

Graduated!

29th May 2008

Finally graduated today! Yippee!

JB Outreach (3may 08)

It was my first time going to mission, let alone lead a team. But God is good and He's been faithful. We had the peace of God and we enjoyed ourselves very much..It didn't feel like missions but it felt like a warmt family outing instead. Seeing the passion of those who willingly lay down their lives to establish the church was inspiring, their testimony touched me deeply. University students who came from various different states who chose to stay behind so that they can build the church up. They may not have much money but they have a strong burning desire to make an impact and rewrite the pages of history of their nation.

My first misson!

Tml's i'm going for a one-day mission trip to JB Outreach. It's going to be fun!

Seven of us will be going down to Malaysia to assist in running their service...not only so, i'm given the priviledge to give a bible study to some of their people and be the I/c of this mission team! Exciting!

My heart's full of expectancy!

Please pray for us =)

Your Word

The Way, The Truth, The Life

Simple questions, cutting truths

Our Hearts reviewed, Motives revealed, and Thoughts exposed...

In the light of Your word

You searches the inward places

You judges our hearts of heart

discern the carnality in us

to set us apart for You

Oh God dear God You're wonderful

Full of abudance of grace and mercy

Set me on the right path

Lead me by Your truths

Create in me this capacity to wait

For more and more of You

He's faithful

The letter has reached my house.
The supposed date is 9th of July.
One month before my graduation.
My appeal is on its way.
Let it be approved!

Lord! Open the door, grant me favour. I ask for Your grace. Lead me out of here. Just push it back after the graduation! Make a way! Im in SOT for You. Whatever it is, Jesus i still love You.

Grant me peace in my heart. I shall fear no more. Lift it up to You in prayer...

God's good all the time,
All the time God is good!

MIRACLE!!!

Oh God, oh God, oh God... I need a miracle!

Are You putting my test to faith? Are You teaching me to lean on You? I really need You. I'm really afraid...

You split the red sea for the Israelites, You fed them in the wilderness, You kept them from evil, You brought them to the promised land.

You worked all the miracles for them, I ask for a miracle to happen too!

The Bible say that i should "Be anxious for nothing!" and that i should let my request be made known to You.

Deliver me, make a way, there's no other way.

It seems like its humanly impossible. But i delight in You, that You always work the impossible and turn them into possibilities!

I surrender control to You and cast my cares on You. I abide right now under the shadow of the Amighty. I rest in Your peace.

Amen.

Looking at the big picture

Click on the picture and see.

Always look at the bigger picture. What we are going through can never been compared to what He has gone through in our place.

Stay bless!

Miracles, a prayer away.

Miracles

God never forces Himself on us. Everything that we cannot do have been done for us.
The responsibility has been shifted from God to man now. He places the responsibility/ ownership to ask ON us.

"Miracles are only a prayer away!"
That's a revelation i recieved today. The power of prayer. All you need/want are in God's disposal, He's a great giver, but He waits for you to ASK. He never give to those who are satisfied at where they are.

Miracles are found on the intersectin of our faith and God's grace. When we are willing to yield ourselves to God, in the spiritual co-operation of fallen man's act of surrender and supernatural provision from the merciful Father... there you find the supernatural miracles unveiled, set loosed and released over our lives. The Spirit of God can flow, the power of God can be realised and the gifts of the Spirit will begin to work.

Oh, God can only fill empty vessels. Be spiritually hungry and thristy for Him. Because blessed are you who hunger and thrist for righteousness for YOU shall be filled! =)

A simple truth, but a life changing key.

God's my focus

SOT day 1.



The Holy Spirit moved mightly first thing in the morning during the praise and worship. Many people fell under the power of God; some recieved holy laughter, others wept in the strong presence of God. Powerful!

The Holy Spirit was the focus of the day.

"SOT is always going to be inconvenient," truly, big AMEN to that. School fees, book fees, transport, life! It's not just merely about giving your time to studying God's word. Its about giving your 4.5 months of your life (inclusive of everything in it) to God.

God's my focus. Period.
Everything else, step aside please.

SOT TODAY!

so exciting! SOT is near!

8am in JURONG WEST. In the promised land far far away. Requires 1.5 hours of travelling and tons of discipline to wake up early.

God will supply.

Dreams

Inside the soul of every man, lies a dream factory. Where the wildest dreams are concieved and the boldest confessions ever told


"Ohhh, I wana be the next president, I wana be a boss,
I wana save the world, I wana be somebody great..."


Voices of young dreamers looking far, far beyond where they currently are. Yet distance and time doesn't deter them, they only hear the sense of purpose driving them on. It gives them vision, of who they will become. It gives them hope, that tomorrow is gone be great. It gives them strength, when circumstances fall flat around them. It gives them courage, to fight the defeating thoughts of doubt.

Victory in life very often comes along after one has scaled the overwhelming steps of defeat. Therefore success comes to those who would not let failure deter them.

Great man who made history and left atonishing legency behind for hundreds and thousands of years, are all man who dared to dream, and was totally dedicated to pursuing them. They were disciplined in their pursuit as they focused their eyes on their world shaking dream.

Don't be satisfied in where you are, strife for more for the glory of God.

It doesn't cost to dream, but it is definately going cost you to chase the dream...

Pay the price, reach your dreams!

9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?
And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER
100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:


If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

So:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close,
and Attitude will get you there,

It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Garage Sale Bargain

A New York State woman unknowingly allowed her family jewels to be sold for 10 cents at a friend's garage sale. It happened after she took the jewels out of a bank safety deposit box to wear to a wedding. The bank was closed when she got home, so she put the jewels in an old shaving case and stuffed it in another box. In time, she forgot about the jewels, and later she gave the shaving case to a friend who was collecting items for a garage sale. By the time the woman realized what she had done, the precious gems had been sold to an unknown buyer for a dime.
In a sense, her pain is similar to Esau's. He too discovered what it's like to realize suddenly that he had lost something of great value.
