Tolerance
The worse lesson in life that need to be learn is not about getting degree or PhD, neither strumming your guitar string or hitting the golf ball. I think tolerance. Learn to be tolerate with your mate is important beside all the theory of life. Tolerance is use everywhere and anytime without knowing. You need to be tolerate with you on queue at cashier, standing in the motion bus with those armpit lifted high, even husband with his toilet bowl lid not lifted up.

Past few weeks, I have been again teaching myself about tolerances. I frustrated with things just doesn’t go my way, I burned out from work that my boss has all his last minute work, even isolate myself from others with things that I not agree with. It so hard to discuss because I know, if they (these people) need a litter bit of sensitivity, I think things will went well. But guess what, this is just who they are and I just have to accept it be patient, and be tolerate with him.

I still not get over it yet, but I think without this lesson, I won’t be “grow up” and in future, I will still face the same problem again and again. I always believe that God is like our teacher (or whoever teaching you), He will continue create “ hard question (that we never know how to do)” until the day that He agree pass us with flying colour.

Cool Morning
Wake up this morning were so cold. After say my prayer, I felt so refreshing and knowing that God and my strength and my song. I will sing praise as long as I live. Hopping along the corridor (because is cold what..!!!). I know deep inside my heart, that today is gonna be a good day, no matter what challenge that i face today, I will be seed for tomorrow, slowly I will conquer it.

My boss called me in to his office, first thing I know that something went wrong if not, he won't called me with his surprise voice. I sat down and he quietly and eyeing the paper on his hand and said, “Alvin, ATO is coming over 10 Jul and this is what you gonna prepare prior to that date.”

Ohh my gosh…… when I look at the paper I was in shocked. 3 officer will be here on that day, and they want thousand of things. I know that it gonna be headache because all this file already in archive and they need ’00, ’01 and ’02 account. I have about 10 days to get these thing done. But will I finish these on time? Because I have this financial year account to be close on 30 June!

I started pulling out all the file and surprisingly that now (1:16pm) I already almost finishing year ’02 account.

I think it is so important that morning prayer be part of life. I would say just like breakfast. I won’t say this example is right because some people has the habit of not taking breakfast, but according to expertise, breakfast is the most important meal for the day.

I do take breakfast everday, my lunch and dinner are small amount and I feel perfectly well. That why I relate this to morning prayer…. It just like engine that need to be warm up before you start to drive every morning then the driving will be more smoother. Morning prayer is like warming up your engine. So that you will have smoother day ahead.

Busy Weekend, Busy In God's Kingdom
Everyday, I am just waiting for Friday to come. Friday is such a day that I I wanted so so much. I just can't explain why. Is like you know when Friday comes, the next day is Saturday and you have all the time for yourself and do things that you like most. Plus, Friday, I only work half day, I mean just 2 hour knock off early compare to usual day.

Jack and Olivia wedding last Saturday. They are so beutiful and handsome when they dress up. I kind of wondering when is my turn standing there saying vow to my love one. Well, that would be when the day I decided she is the "one". Spent the rest of the day slept on cough trying to reclaim all the sleep that I owe to my dreams.

Sunday is good. Deaconing that day, was busy because water baptism first time at 10am service and at night was the Master Commission Graduation. There are many things to do but yet I enjoy every single moment with friends and church especially those who encourage you and not pushing you down by picking all your mistake.

Was asking God, could I be a litter bit more sensitive. I am sensitive person, and I used to get up set that I am too sensitive. Well, as today, I guess that was the gift. Since it gifted by God, why not ask more so that I can use this and sow back to Kingdom of God. Should I ask myself why I need more sensitive? Well, I guess I need because I am start serve in brand new ministry, that is to be my pastor's public assistant. I think I should be more sensitive towards a man needs, so that when we travel to overseas, he will not burn out, tired and make sure that he is comfortable to all things and also phycsically protect him from the evil spirit especially those time before and after preaching congregation.

Live Life in Gods Kingdom
How interesting is that when someone can just stir you up again on something that you have interest in before? Well, this is a very good example. Posting my dairy everyday, tell my friends what actually happen in my life, so that they would feel far away from me even though they are thousand miles away from me. But it is also interesting that the purpose of doing this also depanding on who are the one who stir you up. For example again, I may not be bother to post this dairy which I used to, but what if I found my long lost good friend, I may restart using this again.

I am really busy since my last update. Life get busy and busier. I guess working just to get life keep going on and of course the source of income. But what really want is just to be in Kingdom of God, serve Him and just to be with Him. But I really thank God that that wasn't the best way to close with Him. I think He has design the world such a way that you have to learn something if you wanna get close with Him. For example, the only way to get closer with God, is to pray, serve and to dwell in the presence of God. I remembered few weeks ago, I was arguing with my friends that nothing is free on earth. But do you think Salvation is free???

Salvation is not free. Salvation need to pay price, but this price is not the money that I am talking about. This price is the life style that you have. Salvation bring new lifes, therefore your price to pay is to forget about your old life style and start to live like a brand new person because He has cleansed us, once and for all.

Well, back to my topic. If I really want to be in Gods Kingdom, then I should learn what I have now, work on excellency, be the champion because we are the head and not called to be tail. Suffer is just part of living life, if we not suffer, we may as well not live because only heaven lives without suffer.

When I get into life to serve God fulltime, I think I will thank God for all things that He had prepare for me, include to be accountant, socialise with the circular world, and the most tough part is live life according to biblical teaching.

Now, that what I call... Live Life in Gods Kingdom
