Breathe Again With New And Everlasting Life

Yesterday, I just lost a friend; Connor Wong Man Yee

(21st Aug 1968 - 14th Sept 2008)

Connor has returned back to the Lord last night at about 10.55pm. He was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer and then, the cancer cells spread to his lungs. He was having difficulty in breathing...

But right now he can breathe again -no more pain and suffering- in heaven! Connor, we miss you very much! One day, we will see you again in heaven!

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time uproot...
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance...
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. - Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2, 4 & 11"

White Flag

Have you ever heard the song; "White Flag" by Dido? I like that song. I think most of us know what is the meaning of "White Flag". Raising the white flag means that you're surrendering! So, when you are surrendering, you are telling people that you are losing or you are already lost! BUT in my opinion, not all the time that surrendering means that you are losing...

As a Christian, I learned to surrender to God. Surrender to God does not mean that you are losing to God but you are allowing God to be God and at the same time, you are learning to trust Him and have Faith in Him.

Last Tuesday, I learned it very well. My bus was on 5.30pm; to go back to Ipoh. At 3pm, I finished bathing and finished packing my stuff. Then, I went to the cafeteria below my hostel to take my lunch. The sky was really dark. Before 3pm, it rained for a while; then stopped already! After I finished my lunch, around 3.35pm, I bumped into my friend, so I sat with him and talk to him for a while. By 4pm, the rain came... Very, very heavy!

Then, I was worried; worry about getting wet and miss my bus. So I opened the window which is next to my bed, then I prayed and worship the Lord. I sang my own song as I worship the Lord - "Lord, you uphold every rain in my life and calm every raging sea in my life..." Then, my worried slowly and slowly turned into peace... Guess what, around 4.25pm, the rain stopped, completely! Wow, Praise God!

And I reached bus stop on time! (^o,-) Wow, God is good all the time! I was worried but I learned surrender to the Lord by praying and worship Him! When I retreat, God will take His place and He will take control of everything... Praise God!
