Ok,
Day 1, 11 Dec
Thursday
Meet at Mother Church(if u ppl r wondering wat is mother church, it's NLRC PJ). Well every1 come at different timing so, it's kinda hard to say what time we actually met.bt we left at 9am(helpers went earlier lol) We reached around 1040, haiz, even though I was a helper(wrong turning, went 2 Berjaya Hotel instead). Well, we had Lunch, at 12pm, 4gt wat it was cos i jz ate it without complaints(LOL). We had briefing and splitted to our Dorm Groups(Go Char Siew!!!) to play some games. With some rest and some washing up, we went to da Hall, for a session to intro da camp speaker, which also ended up with testimony time!!! Yea, Zoe(SA) and Steffie went up to testify of how God brought them 2 this camp, and then Mark came up and testified dat he's still alive, it's still very clear in my head, he had a slight backsliding, he mentioned dat you can call him stubborn because he didn't, couldn't believe dat God was there, so he told God, if u're there strike me with lightning, die i dun care, so he said dat if we dun really believe dat God is there, believe he is there cos he met a car accident some 5 days b4 camp, car badly damaged, bt he nt oni survived, bt he survived with 2 scrathes to his body, Praise God. then V Sheng came up and testified about wat has happened to him. Going clubbing literally having his life hanging on a thread. that statement struck me becos, the day b4 camp, i put up a MSN message-what's this, your life is hanging on a thread and your're still laying down there. Well, dat nite was easily passed through with the tiresomeness of all da activities.

Day 2, 12 Dec
Friday
I woke up early dat day round 5.45am, goin back to my dorm, to gt my toothbrush and toothpaste, to wash up, and later devotion at 6. Finished with my devotion, Nick Siew joined me at the pondok/gazebo whatever, and we went up to da basketball court, with no one there at 6.10, we went down again at 6.15, bt by 6.30, ppl started to show their sleepy faces up at da Bball court. Leaders assembly started at 7am teaching about forgiveness and such(with a drama by Jason Kon and Abraham, nt sure wat, about the ppl bringing a prostitute to Jesus and saying dat she should be stoned to death, Jesus being very wise, said that, only those who have never sinned before shall cast a stone, ppl left 1 by 1 and Jesus said to the prostitute, Go and Sin no more. Fuh, long story, bt Jason and Abraham was different, cut it short, Abraham took Jason's phone and lied not taking his phone then let da ppl stone him, bt at da nick of time(nt)Jason said, only those who have never sinned before shall cast a stone). then ended with Devotion entitled, Jonah's Thunders. With heavy asses, ppl made their way to da canteen for breakfast after devotion. We had our 1st session with Bro. Eric Tan. Fuh, Genesis is a long book lol. Lunch after that, well nothing to complain about.We then had our 1st session of games with GM, Joel Ryan Lee, playing Lipstick Jungle, Sweet Sensation and Broken Telephone(like da 1 in Madagascar 2). Swimming!!! during wash up time lol, washed up, then dinner. Our 2nd session was about Exodus(which means EXIT!!!), Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy(Do It On Me!!!). We had reflection, and ppl went to the gazebo, canteen, dorms, as their exodus to the day. Well, Helpers had a very long meeting on messy games then sleep.

Day 3 , 13 Dec
Friday
Again, I woke up at 5.45am, but only got off the bed at 6. Wash up, Devotion, then up to the Bball court, but there was a problem. The other camp group went up there and hogged the whole place for some morning exercise. So we had our Leaders Assembly beside the swimming pool. Learning about attentiveness towards God's Voice. And Devotion time!!! Same thing, we went into our groups and started with the topic given by the CCs. Breakfast again, then 3rd Session began. Joshua(yeah!!!), Judges, Ruth, 1st and 2nd Samuel, 1st Kings, 1st and 2nd Chronicles, 1st and 2nd Kings, Esther, Ezra, Nehemiah. Fuh, today was a very long session lol.
Lunch, and now, 'Let The Games Begin!!!' Yes Messy Games Began. Flour, Eggs, Shaving Cream, Water, fuh, that's alot. Haha, after all 6 games, it was time, Bombard Jason!!!! Woohoo!!! Yes Jason Lee got bombarded again and again with flour, eggs, shaving cream and think how many more things we helpers got to use. Then some of us guys played Captain Ball in the swimming pool. Bathed(ooh da horror of the disposables) dressed up, and went for dinner. Well, the last session of camp was great, Ps. Grace Hee(for all you people who don't know, it's Nick and Sarah Hee's mum) talking about change in the world today. Well, the rain made everyone stay in the hall till like 11pm, 12am around there. People testified after, during worship at the end. Yes, I went up too, and the day(can say nite) ended with choi tai te, silent killer, mafia and sort, and it all ended with sleep for many ppl, at 4 or 5(me at 4).

Day 4, 14 Dec
Sunday!!!
Yes, 2 hours of sleep got me awake for Sunday Service. No preaching, but got sharing from some people. Lunch, and it started raining, so our exodus of the camp site was very messy at sort. Yes, with Jason around, we took some group pictures as well. Most importantly with the Joel Wink. Yes we left later than expected at around 3 and we took about an hour to reach(Bus took about 1 and a half hours)Reach at 4pm, and Bus, about 4.15pm for bus 1 and 4.25 for bus 2.

Yes not forgetting our Cream Crackers. There were hardly anyone who didn't break their crackers on the 1st day, and by the 2nd day, 2/3 of the campers already broke their crackers. Yes, there were quite a number of ppl who didn't break their crackers, so for their hard work and effort, they won their group some very nice number of points.

Overall, this was a good camp. With my overall sleep of 10 hours throughout the whole camp. Yes and Facebook become a hotspot for all the campers for all the photos.

Signing off,

How many times has your heart been broken?

This song spoke to me, it's called All For Love...

All For Love
Album: Look To You

Verse 1
All for love a Father gave
For only love could make a way
All for love the heavens cried
For love was crucified

Pre Chorus
Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have
You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Chorus
Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You
Let me sing all for love

Verse 2
I will join the angel song
Ever holy is the Lord
King of Glory
King of all

Pre Chorus
Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Chorus
Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You (x2)

Bridge
All for a love a Saviour prayed
Abba Father have Your way
Though they know not what they do
Let the Cross draw man to You

Chorus
Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You (x2)

Friends, when you are down, this song will lift you up, when you are in sorrow, this song will comfort you and when you are lonely, this song will give you hope, in Jeremiah 29:11, God says that he has a plan each and everyone of us, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

Always Loved,

Hardships

Some people only know hardship when it knocks on their door. Some people know hardships when they see otheres are in hardships. Some people know of hardships at when their friends talk about it in school or at work.

I know of hardships from many hands and perspective, but it all comes down to one thing, everyone goes through hardships. Hardships don't skip one and goes to another, hardship goes and knock at many doors.

The devil goes around with all his demon followers to cause hardships in all our lives. But what the devil doesn't know, is that God uses these hardships as ways to purify us rather than destroy and decimate us.

Like a goldsmith puts gold through a furnace to burn away all impurities and make it pure, God puts us through all theses pot-holes and barriers to take away all impurities and make us pure, and after all these hardships we will become more precious than gold and diamonds, we become priceless.

The term used for hardships in the Bible is Trials and Tribulations. In James 1:2,3, it says, Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.(NIV) So take Joy in whatever hardships.

Friends, in Psalms 59:16, it says, But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love, for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.(NIV) My brothers and sisters, remember that when you are in times of trouble, place your trust in God and take refuge in Him.

Going Through Hardships With You,
HybridZ.

A Great Song

Before The World Began by Hillsongs Australia

Verse 1
Before the world began,
You were on his mind.
And every tear you cry,
Is precious in his eyes.
Because of his great love,
He gave His only Son.
Everything was done so you would come.

Chorus
Come to the Father,
though your gift is small.
Broken hearts, broken lives,
He will take them all.
The power of the word,
the power of His blood.
Everything was done so you would come.

Verse 2
Nothing you can do,
Could make Him love you more.
And nothing that you've done,
Could make Him close the door.
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son.
Everything was done so you would come.

Repeat Chorus

This song may be old, but it really speaks of how much God loves us. Hopefully, by reading this song, you will reamember that God loves you and that he will always take you back, no matter what you have done.

L0ved,
HybridZ

Problems?


Problems as referred in a dictionary is a situation that causes difficulties and that needs to be dealt with. People normally want to escape problem because it is hard and wastes time. Sometimes, we just ignore the problems we have and act as if we have no problems, this isn't good because we will just become more stressed over time.

Leisure is what people say that helps escape stress and problems, but most of the times, leisure brings the stress and problems rather than overcome them. In Isaiah 30:15, You will find peace and rest when you turn away from your sins and depend on me. You will receive the strength you need when you stay calm and trust in me. Depend on God and he WILL supply, in quiteness, strength will come from God.

Friends, only God can supply you with the rigth answers, only God can supply you everything you need, but don't get him wrong cos sometimes he just want to test your faith. In Matthew 7:7, Ask, and it will be given to you. Search and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. So when in need, ASK,SEEK, and KNOCK, and the way will be opened.

I hope that this entry has blessed you when you read this, and will blessed for times to come. Just to inform, i'll be going to Hong Kong in an hours time, and will be back this Friday.

Facing Problems everday,

Reflections of a Parent

I gave you life,
but cannot live it for you.

I can give you directions,
but cannot be there to lead you.

I can take you to church,
but I cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong,
but i cannot always decide for you.

I can buy you beautiful clothes,
but I cannot make you beautiful inside.

I can offer you advise,
but I cannot accept it for you.

I can give you love,
but I cannot force it upon you.

I can teach you to share,
but I cannot make you unselfish.

I can teach you respect,
but I cannot force you to show honour.

I can advise you about friends,
but I cannot choose them for you.

I can advise you about sex,
but I cannot keep you pure.

I can tell you about alcohol and drugs,
but I cannot say "No" for you.

I can tell you about lofty goals,
but I cannot achieve them for you.

I can teach you about kindness,
but I cannot force you to be gracious.

I can pray for you,
but I cannot make you walk with God.

I can tell you how to live,
but I cannot give you eternal life.

I can love you with unconditional love,
all of my life.....and I will.

Friends, parents are there, to teach us, nurture us and guide us throughout our lives, sometimes, we take them forgrantted until they aren't there anymore. I hope that this has gotten you to review your ways of how you treat your parent, whether as a parent or someone else. Respect for your parent is very important, even mafias, they do all sorts of things, but they never disrespect their parent.

Reflecting on his ways,

Falling Out

Thinking this past month, i said to myself,"i think that's enough of it, i have to stop thinking about it". But in reality, i wasn't ready to let go, it was to hard to let go. If only i didn't go for that seminar, i wouldn't be stuck in this state of idioticness.

But I'm starting to wonder, is that whether JPM is supposed to be blamed for making PMR or is it myself who is thinking like that. Somethings that happens to us we tend to blame others for it but we fail to recognise who is to blamed, but somehow, people don't.

Throughout this past month of thinking vigorously, I have not come across anything in my mind that has something to say about this. But i would like to thank the people of 'Holiday', it really tells me of how i've been going through this and it really spoke to me.

And as i was reading Exodus 15, i came across verse 13, it says, "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed", and as it echoed through my mind, I prayed, asking god to lead and guide me in my life. Then at the end of it i felt this deep rush of joy, I could get my mind of this. Falling out of love isn't an option, because, we are already in the love of god, falling out of it just isn't an option and will never be an option, because, God will always love us no matter who we are, where we are, and whatever we have done, he'll always love us.

Friends, God's love is everlasting, no matter what, his love is always there for us. In love there is always trust, God is the most trustworthy person you will, would and know, he'll be there for anything.

Not Falling Out with you,
HybridZ

Rainbow

The world today is at it's zenith, the most successful point in these 2000 years, though it isn't the epitome of how this world should be, life still goes on. And things has been happening, though not happening in fornt of your eyes, we envisage what is going to happen in the years to come.

Life is never perfect. It is the same reason why we are still here today. If life was perfect, we'll all be in heaven, if life was perfecrt then why do we have all these suffering in the world today? The world now is no better than the time of Noah, actually, it is worst. And i believe that he would flood the earth again if he didn't give us a prosmise, the rainbow.

Friends I don't have a verse to day but i have a proverb, small changes can bring great things. Every small thing we do has a big impact not just on our lives but also on others around us. And those small changes in other's lives will bring many changes and in turn bring big impacts in everyone's lives.

Some people believe in the zodiac system, but have you found anyone which is exactly the same? Did you know that your life will only follow where your mind and heart will lead.

God will lead and guide you where ever you are but will you chose to follow it, it is your choice,
Filled with Rainbows,

Which Is Sharper?


Some may say that the katana is the ultimate weapon, to some extent it is true, but did you know that the tongue is sharper than the sword? The sword can kill but the the tongue is torture. I'm sure everyone is aware that many people are hurt by words. It is unfair, to simply make fun of people just because they are different, i have been made fun of in school and still am.

This world can be a harsh world. Some have been made fun of because of their looks, their teeth, their names, their size. These words may be nothing individually but when put together, and to the wrong people, well it can make a very hurtful sentence. I'm sure many of you have been made fun of.

I am very used to say that 'injuries are skin deep and can be easily healed over time, but hurts are heart deep and can impact a person's life and isn't easily mended over time, sometimes it even gets.' I have been made fun of and still am, these words can be very hurtful and you'll never really understand till you are made fun of.

In Philippians 3:13-14, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Jesus Christ.

Friends, the feeling of hurt is more painful than any injury, but always remember God is there, he always was, always is and always will be there next to you, and he'll be at the finishing line waiting for you.

And I hope that this entry has blessed you and inspired you more than i could hope and want for,

God Bless You,

Trust

There is a saying, trust isn't earned but gained. This is very true and i agree with it. Whenever your friend needs someone to talk to, they find someone he/she trust.

When someone considers you as a friend means you have gained a certain level of trust. This idiom is what made me what i am today, 'A friends in need is a friend indeed'. I like this idiom because it helps us to rethink what type of friends we should have. Why you ask? Because you would start to think whether your friends are just there for you in the fun times or will they be with you till the very end.

In Proverbs 3:5 it says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understandings". Proverbs was written by King Solomon, He spoke 3000 proverbs and was respected by all nations. He wasn't just respected by all nations, but he was a trusted friend of the kings at that time.

Friends, was there a time where your friend wants to talk to you about somethings and you turn them down? Was there ever a time when you spread your friends secret? You know, the pain of betrayal is more painful than any other pain, even death isn't as painful. I want to ask a favor of you, when you finish reading this entry, be a friend, a true friend, to your friends. And i hope that this entry will bless your life in friendships, relationships and any other ships and matters in life.

God Bless You,

Dawn of the End of Christmas

On the dawn of December 26 of the year 2004, I like every 11 year old boy, rushed out the room to watch the TV, expecting the usual Christmas special, but that day was different, i saw ruins of once great cities, buried beneath the dead bodies that built it. Thousands dead while others shed tears in grief of their loved ones.

Little did i know, it just happened and it happened so close to the home, in our neighbouring countries, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand were hit badly crippling their infrastructure, destroying what they worked so hard to build.

There was an estimated ~230,210 dead, ~125,000 with fatal injuries, ~45,752 missing, and ~1.69 million displaced from their homes. At church, the church pastor urged us to pray for these countries. As young as i was i prayed with the adults, i was compassionate for the people, not just the ones in grief but the ones who died not knowing Jesus.

Friends, God loves us very much, no matter who we are, and 2008 years ago, he sent his son to die on the cross for us, imagine, he loved us so much, that he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross, the cross was a symbol of death to the jews before christ because during that time, during the rule of the romans, it was the way they punished the greatest of criminals, equilavent to our modern day hanging. Imagine, even one of the prisoner the rebuke the other by saying that they got what they deserved but Jesus didn't do anything wrong, but he got the same punishment. And when Jesus died, it started to rain and the cloth in the temple which seperated the outer sanctum and the inner sanctum tore in half.

But now, the cross is the symbol of life to the 2.1billion of people, who believe in him, around the world. All of us facing different oppression depending on the different. But we know that God has plans for us-Jeremiah 29:11-For I know the plans i have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.

I am part of this people, one, ot of the 2.1 billion people in this world we know of today. So let me ask you a question, "Will You?" And I hope this entry has blessed you in ways only God knows.

God Bless You,
HybridZ

Expressions

In these 15 years of my life, I've met many types of people, and being me, I've learned to use different ways of talking when talking to different people. People's expressions are trademarks, born only to them, no one is exactly the same in character, lifestyle, how we are brought up, the friends we choose to make.

For me, i make friends, many different friends to study how whatever happened to them can affect how they make their decisions today. in fact, i haven't met any type of people who are exactly the same, not even twins are the same. And in the same time, i try not to be influenced by their ways and be myself.

I have a few mottos in life one of them is- a little kindness goes a long way. I have made all my friends in the same way. When getting to know someone, kindness is one of the main keys to earn trust from a particular friend, for example, God ask us to love our neighbour as yourself, and in 1 Corinthians 13:4-Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, It does not boast, it is not proud.

Friends, without kindness, there can be no love, even Jesus showed kindness to the people, to the poor, to the children, to those who needed it the most.

I hope this blog entry has blessed you more than i could hope for, and that the next time you you are about to shoot someone with all your anger, remember, love your neighbour as yourself and be kind.

God Bless You

We Are Young


People normally say,"You're too young to do this.......you're too young to do that." Yes we are young, but that doesn't mean you have to look down on us right? We may be young, but what matters the most is that whether we are matured.
True, maturity comes with age, but maturity also comes with understanding. Different events happen to different people, and different people go through different matters in life. Events and matters both affect the maturity of a person. The most important of these is decision, in the events and matters we go through, we will face many things including rejection, betrayal and many other things, will affect how fast we mature. Let's say you are rejected by people, it is to choose to understand why they do so or you take it personally.
I learned understanding in the early stages of my life, where I was rejected by people because i was around many adults which always lead to, you're too young and stuff like that, betrayed by friends and left alone in many cases. And I learned understanding through 1 Timothy 4:12- Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set ans example for the believers in your speech, in life, in faith and in purity.
Friends, though you may always hear those things but elderly people aren't always leaders, for example Josaih, he became king at the age of 8 but he lead his people with the right methods and in the right ways, or may be even Jeremiah, God told him that his calling was to be a prophet, but he told God, I am too young, he was afraid that people won't listen to him because he was just a young boy. So friends, we can make a difference even though people say that we're too young, we can make an impact in people's lives, and most importantly, God uses not just old people, but young ones as well.
I hoped this entry has blessed you in ways only God knows.

Life


Life matters has a lot of ties, ties remembered, brokened, mended, some destroyed till means of dust. New ties are made everyday, while old ones may disappear like it never really happened.
I have come to realize that where ever we are, whatever we do, can break ties and make new ones. But what has come to mind is that time is always here and there, then and where. The proverb: time and tides waits for no man(slot in woman if you want) is to some extent very true. Ties are like ropes. Just leave a rope with time, it'll become no more than dust in the air.

I am to some extent a 'passerbyer'. I have always been one since I was 6. I've made many friends, best ones, and my family moved around alot, so i shifted schools alot, including SK Seksyen 9 and in recent times, Sri Kuala Lumpur. Everytime i move, is like trying to pull the ties longer but like ropes, it can only go so long, so until recently, I've made contact( i know it sounds like i made contact with aliens) with some of my old friends. In fact one of them had a party just recently and never told me, not even putting any energy to try, yes, in these unstable times for me, I was pissed, angry, enraged, that she was my very good friend, and something like this wasn't mentioned, well i can't really blame her cause ties aren't easy to mend and repair rather than replace. I don't want to mention any names because this is a very sensitive subject so i'll juz put some characteristics(comas to seperate the main characteristic of each): Lazy, Poser, Hyper, Friendly(at least), 15, and so on so forth. It's also funny how they say, the internet connects people, but when there aren't any, how do you connect?

This situation reminded me to forgive, like in Colossians 3:13-Put up with each other. Forgive the things you are holding against each other. Forgive, just as the Lord forgave you.
So friends, when you feel rejected, betrayed,and down, just remember, there's always someone there for you no matter what.
I hope this entry blesses you in ways only God knows.

BGR-Love


You may think I'm a little young to post about this because I'm only 15 but just read of what i have to type. Boy Girl Relationship aka 'BGR', is as all of you should know is a relationship between a girl and a boy. Many people has a checklist on the perfect partner. This is very true to many of us.
Many of us take 'BGR' to be a small thing. We don't take it seriously like we supposedly so, many of us date for fun, many wouldn't say that but the truth is that. True this may offend some of you who read this, but this is very true, when you love your partner and your partner only says he or she loves you. Also when we love, we must be loyal to our partners, if not it would be all a waste wouldn't it.
In the bible it is said in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a- 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.
Friends, we always have checklists for our future partners, but what we should really have is a checklist for ourselves, instead of asking, "What do you want your partner to be?" We should be asking, "What do you want to be for your future partner?"
I hope this posting blesses you in ways only God knows.

Human Thinking

Homo Sapiens, better known as 'humans' has the ability to tell from right and wrong. But did you know, humans are more influenced by they think that others, including friends and family, may think. It is said that a wise person is not influenced by what others think, this may be true to some extend.

Sometimes this ability gets shoved away in our mind when we want to do something but your mind would be saying, "don't do it, it's bad for you." Many of us dislike this because humans are also born with a 'will'. A 'will' is the want to do something which you have chosen in mind to do.
What most of us don't understand is that the ability to distinguish right and wrong comes form the heart, not from the mind. Decisions made should be processed not just by our mind but also with our heart, this would help you make better decisions.

In 1 Kings 3:9 says, "So give me a heart that understands. Then I can rule over your people. I can tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Who can possibly rule over this great nation of yours?" In this extraction, King Solomon, the richest, the wisest King of all time , even his treasures are scattered around the whole world in museums, warehouses, full without enough space to keep it all, asks God for wisdom to rule his Father's land with understanding and to be able to tell the difference between right and wrong
So let me ask this small question, have you been doing things that are influenced by what your friends think? Or have you been telling yourself the difference between right and wrong.

I hope this post has blessed you in ways that I cannot imagine,
God Bless You,

The Perfect Statement


In what mattered to me, I ran down the stairs, hoping, trying to get one last look at her face, and like the wind in the air, she disappeared. My hope broke into pieces of silence. As I looked into the sky, i said to my self,"if only I was I could be down there earlier, faster, I would of captured a glimpse of the wonders I would have felt."
I sat there at the last flight of stairs trying to comfort myself I went to the boys dorm lying on my bed ashamed of myself, for letting such a wonderful jewel just slip out of my hand, telling myself if i had known better, than to let such a thing just go.
Then a good friend of mine came into the dorm, he heard what happened and was confident he could pull me out of this break-down. He told me somethings that meant a lot to me now, and told me this very important thing, this very important statement is that, "God puts the answers in our heads just as soon as we face a problem, but it's that we don't want to listen to anyone even the voice speaking in our own heads, that we continue with this problem." That statement means more to me than it would have if he told it to me at a different time and moment.
Friends life is full with problems that we have to face, try and listen to what God has to say, because God is a God who can solve any and every problem we may face and problems that we are facing, so when the going gets tough, take the time to sit down and try and focus on what God has to say.
I hope this story has blessed you in ways that only you and God knows.

God bless you,

Have You Ever Wondered?

Have you ever wondered what it'll be like if you choose a different road in life? Have you ever wondered what kind of an impact that you'll make if you were in a different place? Have you ever wondered how you would turn up in life if you were born into a different family? Or most importantly, have you ever wondered what it'll be like if you were never born? Do you know that your friends around you are influenced by what you do and how you treat them.
Did you know that you were put on this earth for a reason? Do you know what is that reason? And did you know that everyone has a reason in their life? It's just whether they heed the calling or not.

Now it's the real question, would you choose to live an easy life? Or maybe hard life? Everyone has a wrong perception about life, life isn't about make friends, make money and die. Sure everyone will die someday but is how you use the time that you have now that really matters. Life isn't supposed to be easy, life is in a way supposed to be hard, it's supposed to have ups and downs, straight and windy roads and a lot of hic ups along the way.
It's important that you have your friends and family in life, friends and family are always there for you , thick and thin, ups and downs, or when you fall down a pothole, they're always there to pick you up and carry you on their shoulders until you are able to continue walk again cause life is a road, where it takes you? No one is for sure.

But there is someone who knows where you have been and where you are going. He knows you even before you were born. And that someone is the everlasting God. As it is said in Jeremiah 29:11- For I know the plans i have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. God loves us all as said in John 3:16-For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that who ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

God Bless You
