Working holiday Day 47 (12112015)

Today seem is the most blessed day. 

I got to enjoy my day off at home with sermon and God.

Finished up the topic of day 34, that's finally.

Raining non stop, I get my bike but I'm wet because of that again. Lord, what's you want me to learn? 

That's proud of me which I could cook a nice seafood tom yam porridge. I love that taste so much!

Two of my new flat mates love that and I really appreciate they share they joy with me. 

Dessert time! 

This is what I had promised my flat mate Noah which I will cook the green bean soup for them. 

God, I really wish to treat them nicely. Love them with your love and hope it could influence their live for you. 

Lord, please teach me how to be a great influencer and leader in them. I do hope they can be touched by your love. God, thank for the leading. 

At night, Byson bring the wine we haven't finished it here for me to drink together. 

He like the wine from Australia Gossip sweet lip. It really sweet.

I like something like wine smell.

Funny thing is he also bring the bak kut teh that I cooked the day before to eat. Funny la.

He keep invited me to go the Canterbury A&P show which is tomorrow. I'm working. But he promise me will sent me back to work after that. That's fun.

Day 35 12/11/2015: What's on earth am I here for?

WHY GOD SHAPED YOU THE WAY HE DID

Rick Warren

 

 

      “God shaped man from the soil of the ground and blew the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living being.”  Genesis 2:7 (NJB) 

 

      “You made my whole being; You formed me in my mother's body.  I praise You because You made me in an amazing and wonderful way.  You saw my bones being formed as I took shape in my mother's body.  When I was put together there, You saw my body as it was formed.  All the days planned for me were written in Your book before I was one day old.”  

      Ps. 139:13-16 (NCV) 

 

“Your hands formed and shaped me...”  Job 10:8a (GN)

 

 

I.    WHAT IS MY “SHAPE”?  

 

         SPIRITUAL GIFTS

 

         HEART (passion) 

 

         ABILITIES

 

         PERSONALITY

 

         EXPERIENCES

 

My shape is...  unique...inter-related …fixed … irrepressible

 

 

II.  WHY SHOULD I CARE?

1.  BECAUSE IT REVEAL GOD'S PURPOSE IN ME

"Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you.  Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A spokesman to the nations – that’s what I had in mind for you.”  Jer. 1:5 (Mes)

 

 

2.  BECAUSE EQUIP ME TO SERVE HIM

“...  (God) formed me in my mother's womb to be His 

servant, and He commissioned me ....”  Isa. 49:5 (NLT) 

 

 

3.      BECAUSE LIFE IS A TEST

“From where He sits God overlooks all of us on earth.  He has shaped each person in turn; now He watches everything we do.”  Ps. 33:14-15 (Mes)

 

 

4.  BECAUSE IT SHOW GOD'S GLORY

      “Bring Me all the people who are Mine, whom I made for My glory, those I formed and created.”  Isaiah.  43:7 (NCV) 

       

       “The people I have shaped for Myself will broadcast My praises.”    Isaiah.  43:21 (NJB)

 

 

III. HOW SHOULD I RESPOND?

 

1.  ACCEPTANCE: TO BELIEVE GOD KNOW BEST

“My friend, I ask, ‘Who do you think you are to question God?  Does the clay have the right to ask the potter why he shaped it the way he did?’”  Rom. 9:20 (CEV)

 

       “You guided my conception and formed me in the womb.”  Job 10:10 (NLT) 

 

 

2.  SALVATION: I RECEIVE GOD'S LOVE

“Let Your love, God, shape my life with salvation, exactly as You promise.”     

Psalm 119:41 (Mes)

 

 

      3.      REFOCUS: WHAT'S INSIDE OF YOU

      “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

 

 

“By the grace of God I am what I am.”  1 Corinthians.  15:10 (NLT)

Working holiday Day 46 (11112015)

Although the dish was fail, but finally it clear up by my ex flat mate and the HK guy. Hahaha...

After work, he asked me to go his homestay as my ex flat mate were there and get to farewell with them. 

Is raining, he did offer to fetch me, but I really don't want to trouble him. So I choose to ride there end up with a wet body. Gosh!!! Is fine, I use to it. 

He intro me the wine he loved the most!

That's really sweet lips. Haha....

He got me back and they take away all the leftover "bak kut teh".

Again, I'm drunk a little bit. Today much better. Praise Lord. 

Yeah... Tomorrow is my day off.

Working holiday Day 44 (09112015)

Today I'm going to work for the longest hour! From 11.30am till 3.30pm from 5.30pm till 10.30pm. Nine hours!!! 

Worst thing was, I wake at 4am as last night definitely I'm drunk and I just slept when reach home without change or even pee. Lolz

I need to take a breath!!! My whole mind was thinking about how bad I treat the Hong Kong guy and the China guy from Elsa's homestay. He made a good dish and I try it half yet I can't finish it. I ask Byson to help me finish up, and I only remember he throw it away for me. Gosh!!! Now only I realize it!!! Damn... I'm really bad!!! 

A girl from Singapore sudden text me this... I really get shocked! What's that about??? I'm bad, not good at all! 

Just that I have a good good God! 😊

Another touching text was from my colleague. She was from China and today she is off. She date me to go fishing! That's awesome, but too bad I can't join her. She is the one I shared about God's healing with her! God, can I have more time with her??? 

Since I wake so early and I need a break and breath some fresh air, I go for a jog!

Not really jog for a long time, but I'm sweat and fresh!!! God is with me! That's a great time I spend with my Heavenly Father each time I go for a jog! 

Today is really a blessed day, I found all my fella colleague was so kind and it sound like I really gonna miss them soon.

One of the colleague share how's about her life and family and something make me wish to pray for her was she ask me whether I'm going to church or not, she hope she also can have a religion to support her and make her mind better. 

Lord, I saw the needs once again. I'm leaving soon, but I hope I can do something for them or at least let them know about your love before leave. God, what can I do? Just tell me. 

She riding with me and that's the thing I know God you sent her to accompany me. That's great. 

Today I heard my boss challenge her employee about their religion. She start to start about God and you are the creator! That's really impressed me. She really awesome!!! 

Working holiday Day 43 (08112015)

Today, I hope he join me to church. So force him to give me his hp and I wake him up if possible. Beside I also promised me to made him breakfast again. Because I scared to be late to church, I rushing him unintentionally. He telling me, the first time he need to be taking breakfast so rush worse than in HK. I'm so bad!!! 

After dropped lee yan to the market to get Amy, I accompany him to the share house which he stay before to take the letter. After that, we go for lunch together as I'm yielding for food! Hahaha too hungry. 

After that he sent me home and I take a nap too before going to the second service. I date him for dinner as well. 

He came and get us as request by me. I find that I really treat him so so so... Badly. 

I get drunk in Elsa's homestay. When back I not really sure what's I done to him. But, he really nice and gentle and sent me back and I really feel bad... 

I treat him damn bad! I know I'm not the lady which he prefer and I know he can't be the one with me for now. But I like his gentleness. That's really impressed me. 

When I'm awake, I text him to say thanks and he doesn't reply. Lolz... Is okay. I hope he treat me as bad as possible, if not I will be stress up.

Working holiday Day 42 (07112015)

He capture what's I made him the sandwich and posted. Lolz...

He came my house with a Taiwan roommate Peter. After breakfast we walked to the park near the church to have fun at the community fun day. The pastor treat him coffee and he saw me squat and telling that's not nice for people to squat in HK. They hate people squatting. 

Evening, we go a cafe which he know I prefer to have a coffee. He let me choose those cafe which I wish to go and bring me there. Later on we go Westfield mall hang around! 

Because I need to back to work, he drop me and they go to see the firework again. Poor me need to work!!! 

After I off duty, Ivy( my new roommate) initially asked me to join her watch movie in the living room before I heading to work. When I reach home, they changed their plan. She and Noah ask me to go pub with them. Actually I'm damn tired as last night I'm insomnia for a day. But, I wish to know them more. I asked whether Byson and Peter would like to join or not. 

Byson and Peter join us. The place was out of my expectation. Their (ivy and Noah) action really shocked me. Thank God, Byson was going with me. He and Peter were the one talk to me mostly.

Byson is the one who really gentlemen and good man. Really not like who he act as. His mouth is really so bad, but he is nice. Because of driving, I asked him not to drink so much. He really give the half to Peter. I thought this is what's his wish too.
