The Nine Biblical Attributes
The fruit of the Spirit is a physical manifestation of a Christian's transformed life.

Love - "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him" (1 John 4:16). Through Jesus Christ, our greatest goal is to do all things in love. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

Joy - "The joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God" (Hebrews 12:2).

Peace - "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13).

Longsuffering (patience) -- We are "strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness" (Colossians 1:11). "With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love" (Ephesians 4:2).

Gentleness -- We should live "in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left" (2 Corinthians 6:6-7).

Goodness - "Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power" (2 Thessalonians 1:11). "For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth" (Ephesians 5:9).

Faithfulness (faith) - "O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth" (Isaiah 25:1). "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith" (Ephesians 3:16-17).

Kindness - "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted" (Galatians 6:1). "With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love" (Ephesians 4:2).

Self-control - "But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love" (2 Peter 1:5-7).

*sweat*

Hmmm... How do I start? ook... Let me share something on a rest day. I would take it as a lifetime experience in fact. Not a big thing yet a small thing. Today, My going-to-be 13 years old sister and going-to-be 6 years old brother were promoted to different class in church. Finally, my sister has grown up and promoted to Youth Church. Man! I surely missed YC a lot.. Sighs..Time really flies... I remember when I first joined YC when I was Form 4. Miss those days. Well, today is my sister first day. So I went to pick her up. YC has grown bigger and bigger. L3 barely can fit students if the numbers keep increasing. Anyway, praise the Lord. Many have come to know you, and I'll pray that more will know you, Lord. My sister spoke to me with a surprise as she is from Children Sunday School.

Sis: Jie, the youth people are bigger in size than you.
Me: Is that an insult or a compliment?
Sis: It's a compliment. (sarcastic)
Jie: You're a also not "big" in size too. (She is way too small in size for a 13 years old)
Sis: ......
Sis:Jie, why did they took out their shoes?
Me: So that they can praise and worship without the heavy shoes lor...(without shoes, you can jump and praise God better)
Sis: Is it the same as the concert you went?
Me: Yeah...(She meant Hillsong United Concert)
Sis: No wonder, when I was in L2 (second floor, below L3), I can feel the building shakes.
Me: Well, that's how powerful it is when we start Praise & Worship lor.

YC finished late. I was there early. So I stood there and listen to the message. Ps. Rosaleen Goh was preaching at that time. That was YC. First part of my day in church. Well, 2nd part of my day in church gave me more surprise to myself. I guess it's my turn.

Today, there was a parent support group for special needs children. Well, my younger brother who is 6 years old actually have autism syndrome. For now, his syndrom is yet to be unveiled. Hmmm... make it simple. He is a boy who lives in his own world, unsociable and slow in development. Honestly, when he was 2 to 3 years old, he acts differently compared to the rest of my siblings. Thank God~! Day by day, he is improving. All thanks to everyone who has and is praying for him. NO pain, NO gain! Errr..okay back to my story... It was hectic and tiring cause my brother refused to enter the church and we have a meeting at 3pm. He was crying and sitting on the floor. Partly, he is not used to the environment. (He dislikes new environment). For example, if it was family sunday which means no children church, he will have to follow us to main church. Obviously, that's impossible. He will start struggling and refusing to follow and insist that he must go to children church. That's my brother. He seriously dislikes transition or new environment. I think I'm not as bad as him lar though I dislikes transition too. My mom always thinks he resembles me! Eish.... Do I? Perhaps...

Okay... back to refusing to enter into the church. So my dad has to carry him in. Wow.. You can never imagine how hard to drag him in? We use all our strength just to carry him. Seriously, he is very strong! Fuh... We managed to place him in the children's room. My sister and I stayed with him while my parents attend the meeting. Sighs... He cried pitifully for almost half an hour. Hmmm.. I think he have improved. Before this, he could cry for hours~!
One of the teachers spoke to me.

Teacher: Wow.. you're strong (Cos I helped my dad to carry him too)
Me: Errr.. *smiles*
Teacher: These are your siblings?
Me: Yeah... I have an elder brother too
Teacher: Oh.. How old is he then?
Me: 24 years old.
Teacher: How old are you then?
Me: Err... (I was hesistating to tell my age) 20 ?
Teacher and another teacher: HUH~~~~?????!!!! Big gap....
Sis: She is old right?
Me: Oii... Don't talk nonsense lar.. (I was embarrassed edi, old ma)
Teacher: No .. No...
Another teacher: No.. You look like 15 years old.
Me: .... *smiles* oh... (in my heart, do I?. Never mind, take that as a compliment lor)

After the meeting, it's refreshment time~!Yeah.. makan time..
Another shocking scenario...
Aunt: You know you have to spend time with your child..Teach him with patience.
Me: I was like oh.... (in my heart, MY CHILD???, mom where are u??)
Aunt: ......(I dont remember what she said but I heard..)... Your SON?
Me: Errr.... (I was HUH~~~~????!!!! I'm not married also)
Aunt: You must teach him to obey mommy and daddy.
Me: Errrr..okk..ay...(HUH????? does that refering to me ? Gosh...)
I was drinking coffee, so I play with the spoon so that she will think I'm not a mother. I am his sister le. Well, she continued talking and I don't have the chance to explain. She talks real fast, I just shut up and continue to be a good listener. Then, my dad came...
Aunt: I have to tell you something, but don't be sensitive about it.
Dad: Sure...
I was standing right beside my dad...
Aunt: She shouldn't say she has no strength to carry your son cause it makes him think you're weaker than you. Don't let your child manipulate you.
Dad: Yeah...(in my dad's mind, he thought it's my mom)
But... she was looking at me..~!! I did say I have no strength to carry my brother and she heard it. Sometimes, I wonder why people love to assume and don't ask what are my relationship with my family. Then, my mom and my brother came after they went to toilet.
She saw my brother...
Aunt: He is the one is it?
Me: Ya ya.. He is my BROTHER!!!! (I was like ... Happy!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, I can speak out)
Aunt: oh... (I think I have shunned her off, I'm so bad)

Then, my sister came to me. She whacked my shoulder and I took the opportunity to have a cat fight with her. I told my sis...
Me: Thanks~
Sis: Huh... We just whacked each other.
Me: Finally I can prove myself that I'm not a mother.
Sis: Huh....??? She blurred...
Me: Cos the auntie thinks I'm a mother.
Sis: So, you use me lar... Don't want to fight with you edi..
Me: Hahahaha....(laugh out loud)
All because I want to prove I'm not a mother. How silly am I??? The auntie just looked with amazement I guess..
After reflecting these today, It's really contradicting! This shows that looks can be deceiving sometimes. What a day~! Till then...

~Rae~coffee break~

Being Random~~!

Today, it is a tiring day. Really. I helped my parents to paint our living room. Honestly, I wouldn't be bothered if it was last time. I'm kind of lazy to do house chores. Guess what? I did le.. Now, the living room is 3/4 painted. I'm surprised by my own actions actually. I wonder what have changed me to be such so to say "good" girl??? Well, I did annoyed at first place. I was expressing my "manja" attitude towards my dad especially. I gave all kind of excuses like I just woke up (I had 12 hours of hibernation for 2 days), lazy, not in the mood.. Err.. my dad did flared up a bit yet he gave in to me. However, no matter what excuses I give, in the end I still do it wo... Something is still going wrong with me I guess. Unfortunately, I got allergic to the paint and had some red spots on my hands and legs. My skin is very sensitive towards dust, cigarrette smokes, chemical and stuff. No worries.. It will go away by itself.. Hahahaha...Well, I did take my medical check up with the skin specialist before but it doesn't work. Plus, he gave a medicine but causes me to have allergy internally. Super duper itchy!! Doctor says, I have to go for skin biopsy.. Should I? sighs...Forget the sad ones, remember the sweet ones. Skin problem doesn't have to affect me.. =P

Ya, about the "manja" attitude, I think I'm getting too spoilt already. Perhaps, my dad always give in to me.. I had seen his true colors when he is angry. I guess when his daughter grown up, his perception changed. He is more like my friend. Wow.. makes me 10X happier! When I lost my handphone and purse recently, I broke down in tears. I just couldn't control myself crying. Kind of embarrassing cause I cried in front of my friends, Malathi and Calvin. Both are my bao bei belongings ma.. Without further thoughts, I called my dad and told him about it. Despite of his busyness, he actually rushed from home to Bukit Jalil which is my campus. Sighs... I just went speechless. Even Malathi said, waaa.. spoilt kid o... Because of your lost belongings, your parents rushed for you.. Honestly, I have to admit my defeat in front of her. Cause I also always tease her that she is spoilt kid.. Hahaha XD Actually, my dad don't spoil me only, but my whole family. Even my mom have to stop him sometimes! Hahaha.. Am really glad to have such father~!

I believe this is what God has blessed me. I'm really thankful. My parents really love me so much. *hugs and kisses* (For my lovely parents)

Suffering makes a Man

Bittersweet?? Sighs.... I'm reflecting back my 20 years of life on Earth. The good and bad memories which I could not contain it in my mind. But God's Love was unfailing towards me. No matter what I do, He never fails to seek me diligently. Early of last year, I worked in a Christian Bookstore. One of my objective to seek God. I knew I did well in some parts and I knew I made mistakes. Sometimes it's really hard to understand His ways and I tend to follow my ways. Sometimes it's take something for a sacrifice to fulfill God's will. It's part of an adversity in life that I'm going through. However, as I keep believing in Him, I shall not be weary because I know I can hold on Him when I am weak.

I read a book called Right and Wrong Thinking by Kenneth E. Hagin. It is a wonderful book to read to increase my faith in God. I remembered when I asked Dad and he said Suffering is not from God but He allows it to happen for our own good so that we can turn back to him. It happens when we are not walking right with God, and Satan takes the opportunity to influence our mind. Kenneth Hagin said it all.

"If a sinner's thinking is straightened out to begin with, his believing made right, and his confession made right, then it will be much easier for him to "stay put". If he comes in on the wrong basis , the devil takes advantage of what he doesn't know and he becomes defeated and robbed of that which God has actually done for him. Of course, if he has not been taught the Word- to hold fast to his confession of faith-naturally the devil will camouflage the situation and try to make him feel that he is not saved. Because of little mistakes he makes, the devil tells him, "Well, you are done for, so now you may as well give up and quit".

It is hard to understand what God's plan underlying for me. I always think that God forgets about me but that happens when I am not walking right with God. I tend to forget what He has done for me and ask for more. I can't understand His will because I always want it to be my way. My selfish thoughts have never run dry. It takes a long long time for me just to realised how important for me to hold fast on my faith and keep believing that God is the Jehovah Jireh that will provide. I am also afraid that I will stumble again and start all over again. When I see other brothers and sisters in Christ who are growing faithfully in Christ, I felt alone. When I felt guilty and my conscience telling that I'm at wrong path, I will pray with the Lord's prayer. As I pray, I pour out all my emotions unto God. Sometimes people asked me why am I so calm? Because the Lord is in me! The work of the Holy Spirit is awesome and I can't comprehend. Lord Jesus died on the cross and rose again for our sins. He was sinless and persecuted by His own people yet His unconditional love saved from our sins.

Romans 10:9-10 says "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation."

I just can't imagine how wonderful God's love and I overwhelmed. I can never comprehend.. never.. It's just too wonderful.

Time to continue our journey

This is my first time mountain climbing experience held at Klang Gate and also known as Empangan Klang. This reservoir provides water supply to the whole Klang Valley. It will flood the whole Klang Valley if ever this reservoir burst. * touch wood* It was great. All thanks to IMU Christian Fellowship to organise such great adventure. I have yet experienced it until that day. I achieved my objective to cherish God's wonderful creation. Indeed, He is The Father of Creation. For everything is blessed, give thanks! Thanks to the members especially Elizabeth, Jimmy, Cindy, and Calvin who helped me out most of the time as I'm definitely inexperienced. After this experience, I have thoughts to join Infinity Milers (Adventure Society) in IMU. Hehehe.. still considering due to my busyness of my course. 2 months of hectic lectures and 2 months of clinical posting. I have to manage my time well... That's all about it now.
