Though Times Don't Last, Tough Men Do..

Wise sayings by Dr Edwin Lewis Cole. Father of Manhood, now with e Lord.

Woah.. School's sooo tiring. But I'm gonna be focused n determined this year. After 1 week of lecture, I wonder how I ever failed my examz. Then it hit me, I didn't really pay attention @ tat time. HaHa.. Gonna be specific & goal oriented this yr. Too many things pilling up & if I fail 2 be discipline, I'm gonna fail @ them again & more things will pile up as we move forward with time.

CG today was a little long, but great. Didn't play, but it was alright coz i got a chance 2 worship & got touched by God. Didn't realise God was so near in CG, but then He said, hey, u don't cry doesn't mean I'm not around. ;) Tat was when I remembered loving some1 is a decision, emotions r products of decisions we make. If love was based on emotions 1st, then e relationship will b an unstable 1, coz we all have ups & downs in life. HaHa..

Was really angry w myself e other day. Y? Coz I felt so misunderstood. But then as I prayed & lifted it 2 God, He showed me tat I was @ fault too, not 100%, but still @ fault. Women r such strange beings. Can't understand them, yet can't do w/o them. HaHa.. But I find God exposing more on how they think & feel. Some sisters on, seperate occassions, have been sharing how they get sooo turned off by things guys do, some of which I find r so innocent. But then again, men & women react differently & have different needs. HaHa.. As they shared w me, i reflected on my actions & words, & was quite digusted w myself too as I found myself slipping into tat catagory. Thank God He showed me my mistakes, so now I learn & grow 2 be a better man. Maybe after some time when things have cooled down we can settle all our misunderstandings. But 4 now, too many things on my hand & in my mind. But I trust God tat He'll come through. Watever He speaks come 2 pass, it is us who spoils His plans 4 us by rushing Him. HaHa..

Very tired. Gotta go work tomorrow then tuition. Kids examz coming soon. Soooo worried 4 him. Feel so bad, was supposed 2 play ball w Jem. But there's a higher priority now. Thank God 4 such an understanding friend. God never seems 2 fail 2 amaze me. :)

Hurrah!

The title says 4 itself. Have been baffled e last few weeks when I couldn't access my blog. Juz today I remembered y. Bro Boon had been disturbing me about e name I have "AhGong", which means "uncle" or it can b a pet name, but he mistook it 4 "dummy", which is spelt in e same way but pronounced differently. HaHa.. Anyway.. Yah.. 4got I changed e name.

Regarding e KL mission trip. It was an AWESOME experience. It really opened my eyes & gave me & renewed my spirit. B4 e trip, tension was high & members in e team were @ each others necks, but thank God He came through 4 us, & I learned tat it is when we go through tough times but decide 2 stick together can we have a breakthrough in our relationship. More than tat breakthrough, God brought me 2 a new level in e way i play percussion & e way I worship. Everything comes from e heart, if u set ur mind in doing anything, set ur heart @ it too, coz e mind gives u direction & focus, but e heart brings fulfillment & joy, it gives u e extra energy even when u r tired, & when u do things from e heart, it can be seen by all & it inspires others too.

When I cam e back from e trip, I plunged into a valley again. I have 2 redo 3 modules. Tat means back 2 school 4 me. :( Took on too many modules last yr. Workload @ e office is also increasing. Have 2 do OT most dayz. Thank God my cherry supervisor. I made a major mistake in my checking model, which resulted in him staying up till 3am 2 rectify, but e next day, he was still as cherry as ever encouraging instead of scolding me, & I respect him 4 tat. Hmmm.. A trait which I wanna learn. :D So now I've got lessons on Monday & Thursday, & work d rest of e dayz. Muz be able 2 handle both. Needa help out w e finances @ home too. Haiz.. Thank God I've only got 2 more weeks of tuition left b4 my kids exam. Can barely cope w rushing there after work. Wanna hit e gym twice a week too 2 build myself up. Muz be healthy, Spiritually, Mentally, Emotionally & Physically, & I muz be focus! :)

Was really disappointed @ myself 4 handling a situation quite badly. When I thought things were getting better, it turned out 2 be a unhealed wound. Wat 2 do, since i can't apply medicine, have 2 let e wound heal by itself, & trust God 2 heal. He's my Jehovah Rapha. :')

So much 2 do, so little time. I muz draw from my God everyday, tat means entering His presence.

With man it may seem impossible, but w God ALL THINGS R POSSIBLE.
After a mountaintop comes a valley, but after e vally comes another mounatin top experience. :)
Great men r not men who never fail, they r men who never quit!
A man plans his ways, but God is e one who directs his path.
God makes ALL things beautiful in HIS time.
A strong man is 1 who knows who he is in Christ, is secured mentally & emotionally, & knows where he is heading.
