Just came back from church after a documentary screening.

It's called 'Irreplaceable', a documentary about family, sex, children and marriage. Very touching. If you have the time, should download and watch.

I want to heal and get on with life as soon as possible. I pray God will grant my request to meet more people.

I am still reeling from the shock of the break up, it happen so suddened. Sometime in life, we can see sudden turn of events that end everything.

Yeah, I understand.

Meanwhile, I believe this scripture will help you go through with it.

Philippians 4:6-7 New International Version (NIV)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Yes, I need my heart to be guarded. I been praying and pettioning to God.
I asked my cg cellies for advice, can't help to think that I blundered so badly without realising.
She is really truly one of a kind, a really nice girl.
One cg member said that honesty was very important to her, she say if her was waiting for her husband, and call him, he say he is in eg Bangsar but actually he still driving in KL, she would take it very seriously as dishonesty.
I can't believe I accidentaly made a white lie, that screwed up the whole rship, about me washing my bike outside my house, but it was my friend;s house. One day I took her to my house, she was fuming angry because my house was different from the picture.
I truly screwed up. Not that I was cheating or what, but I was dishonest. I dunno why I did it. And also I screwed up when she was overseas, and needed my help to move furniture. Well, singapore to be exact. I failed to respond to there to help her. Sigh..I can't believe I made such silly mistakes in the rship. It was piling up all the mistakes.
*
It's ok bro, what is done, is done. You can't change the past.

Honesty is the most important factor in a relationship. You should've told her the truth, no matter how little it mattered, I'm sure she'll understand if she truly cared for you. We always think that we are trying to protect them when we lie to them but it actually hurts them instead.

Just focus on the present, don't linger on the past.

God bless biggrin.gif

Yeah I guess I get your point about that. For my first ex, she was ok with me, when I told her a white lie that i was late. Like when I was driving in Bangsar and was late to pick her up at Dsara..I lied to her that I was already in Dsara..white lie. She somehow found out about that..but didn't make it a big issue.

Ya agreed if she truly had more feelings for me, she would have overlook and forget about the house issue.

I guess we both can relate on this because we both face challenges of being single.
*
You shouldn't have lied, even a white lie is also a lie. Even if you're late, you should tell her the truth as well. Sometimes, I lie when I say I'm on the way when I'm actually still at home but I try to be early instead.

QUOTE(kron_ka @ Jan 27 2015, 08:32 AM)
Hmm regardless of religion?

For me its very difficult to link up with a non christian, our values are so different. I am good friends with quite a no of non christian girls who are single but I just could not fall for them. Although we can talk about work and other issues, but somehow I felt in my heart those other things like marriage, divorce, helping the poor, caring for others, forgiving....they are just miles away from my thinking.

And you know the bible did say not to have unholy yoke with unbelievers. I do know though from history that you have your own point of view, therefore I prefer not to go into a debate with you on that.
*
My exes were non Christians so it's hard to relate about spiritual stuff, so it's alright to be friends but perhaps not in a relationship.

But I was surprised I could get cut off like that.

The bike incident, I try to relive it again n again...n still not understand why i say it was my house. I guess maybe she can't trust me in a LDR if I say these white lies undeliberately. She saw my gate was different, so she cut me off completely and gave a long laundry list of reasons why we should not be together. She comes from a very strict christian family. I suppose I blew it big time.

Its not as if I cheated on her, I never cheat on her. Ahh, I blundered big time.
*
Stop reliving those memories, it reminds me when I couldn't forget about my ex, everything reminded me of her then. I had to pray over it so I won't be haunted by them.

What sort of strict Christian family? You should really relax and stop thinking about it.

Yeah, my ex gf works for a company that has products all over the place...so everywhere I go I can see its products and services...I cannot forget her...because of those darn advertisement billboards.

Me too, I am praying about them. I am not getting any younger...I just not sure if I should wait for the next one to come....which could mean another 10 years...

I dunno, i just get that impression because she's very careful about her boyfriends.

I just want to ask you, when you want to be in a relationship, do you just want to like get settle down or you want to feel like you're in cloud nine? I think the answer is latter, right? That you want to feel the chemistry..so its not as easy as ABC to just click with someone...

I am trying to relax...but it just hits me...
*
Previously was the latter but I guess it's the former now. Chemistry is important but most important of all is timing.

You're not from my church, are you? hmm.gif

Anyway, it's great that you're serving. It shows that you're committed to the church and not just another attendee.

Peace out and good night.

Well maybe..who knows

Aiya more than one church r involve in the org asli ministry la.

I dun serve all the time. I have to admit I am inconsistent n not as hungry serving as I should be. Right now I am in hibernation stage. I ask my fren whether he can help me back into the ministry just as a part time helper...

I am just as bad as an attendee...well albeit a wounded one...I feel like an injured animal...
*
Serving might help you ease your pain. Seeing happiness on the other people's faces makes me happy too. That's why I like to serve. No, you're not as bad as an attendee. Believe in yourself.

One day I want to visit Vietnam. I like to experience different culture, especially the tribal dance.

Vietnam's awesome, been there twice. The people and the food are great, lots of culture thanks to the French. But, there's a downside. They consume domestic animals such as cats and dogs.

vietnam is comunist country. last time i ask ppl to receive JESUS they blur hahaha ... there is 1 pastor house arrest cuz spreading gospel

However, Catholicism is widely accepted over there, Protestants are mostly underground so it's difficult for them to spread the gospel.

Speaking of beef noodles, my girlfriends brought me to this famous beef noodle shop in KL.

I love it dude! The aroma, the smell, but I hate the internal organs! Yuck...

Kl has a few places for beef noodles. That's the princess attitude right there.

QUOTE(kron_ka @ Jan 29 2015, 11:36 PM)
Hmm I dun think serving all the time make the people's face happy. Its a great challenge. more like seeing your own face smile...when you help other people without receiving anything back.
*
It's definitely a challenge, I'm a hospitality graduate. I know the ups and downs of the industry. Been there, done that. But, we serve because of Jesus.

Jesus’ entire life was centered on serving God—by teaching, healing, and proclaiming the Kingdom (Matthew 4:23). He came not “to be served but to serve” (Matthew 20:28)

Maybe the "not to be served but to serve"...verse tells us not to expect something back from people when we serve. We serve because we r happy n honoured to serve...correct me if I am wrong.
*
Yeah, I don't expect anything in return when I serve.

You're right, we should feel honoured to serve.

Yeah but certain ministries...once you serve a permanent ministry, its hard to let go...the leaders need you badly and then sometimes you can get bogged down. Like some of my friends at children ministry...they need to work on every sunday...if their day time job needs them to go to office, very hard to find replacements.
*
Yeah, because of the tight schedule some of them stopped serving because it was taking a toll on them. I have friends who are auditors that travel frequently and have to look for replacements but that didn't stop their passion to serve.

Ohhhh...So they become Muslim right? So they have their own desserts?

Not necessarily, they have Indonesian names but some are Christians or Buddhists.

Yes, they have their own desserts.

Serving too many ministries can get burn out. Have to be careful.

Yes, most of the pastoral staff are at the risk of burn out but they trust God for strength.

But, you have to know your limit as well.
