You know its gonna be a great day when...

God suddenly moves into the picture and changes the circumstances around no matter how small or how weak things may be! WOW!

I'm reminded again that when it comes to His plans, I DON'T do His job, instead, I allow Him to use me as His instrument and watch as He moves into the picture.

Its time to change! BIG TIME.

Singing the Anthem

Hey guys! Its my 2nd day in Laos and wow, its actually good to be back in the midst of my family again and I tell you this, in terms of comfort and coziness, my family's place here is so much better compared to Mentari Court! Lol!

The toilet at my house here is so clean, even the toilet seat is whiter than the colour of my teeth. =.=".. Air-Cond sleeping nights are back and I'm loving it! Breakfast is set and ready the moment I wake up and I don't even have to do the laundry! lol! Thats only because my family have erm.. 3 maids in the house? Hahaha! No I don't live in a Palace! I'll tell you why when any of you guys meet up with me and ask.. =)

But despite all these things, I still miss KL. I miss Malaysia. Haha. And I'm believing I'm gonna be blessed with so much more, my future home will be so much better, so much more comfortable and cozy, a real good car that I can drive with! (So I'm saying goodbye to KTM's and public transport =P) and that I'm gonna be blessed with a beautiful wife who's all for God's heart. Amen! =P

But something personal and bad has been happening in my family which is really hard(not kidding here) even for me to go through.. And if you guys are expecting me to finally blog about something emo, you're wrong! lol!

This post is to shout out to bring glory to my God!

If some of you are wondering "why is it that this fella's life is always good and despite all those things that are happening to him he still remains strong. Why?" "Don't you have feelings at all?!" Lol. I do. =)

But the answer's simple, And this song here tells it so wonderfully:

The chorus of the song goes:

Hallelujah, You have won the victory,
Hallelujah, You have won it all for me.

Death could not hold You down,

You are the Risen King,

Seated in majesty,

You ARE the Risen King.

The Anthem, not an anthem of remembrance/sadness but an anthem of victory, that no matter what happens, I know that HE has won it all for me!

I know that I don't have to worry or fear about what's gonna happen to me or when I'm facing something really bad or even when I'm faced with such a great challenge or obstacle, because I know He has won it all for me! =D

When I offer my weakness to Him, He offers me His strength in return. Jesus did not die on the cross for you and for me so that one day we could come together and sing Kumbayah and thats that. =P He came and died on the cross for you and me so that one day, we will not be limited and bound in chains, captivated by hopelessness, sin, shame, sickness, disgrace and pain but that we will be free and have life and life more abundantly! =D

Hallelujah! Its gonna be a better day tomorrow.

Surprisingly I am STILL awake even at this hour! Haha! Thought I should blog about a couple of things before I leave for Laos. Hmm lets start with what I did yesterday!

It was a really long day for me yesterday. Woke up and off I had to go to meet up with one of the CF guys for lunch. Then to OUG to settle all those painful lovely bank payments that my parents kept nagging me to pay off by last week. =P

The interesting part of the whole journey was after finishing all the payments and as I waited at the bus stop for the bus to Mid Valley to come, a taxi came along and I just went on waiting for the bus anyway as I didn't intend to spend on a cab for transport. What caught my eye was this bumper sticker on the car with a scripture on it that says "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me" [John 10:27]

I love seeing things like that placed anywhere and so I came to a conclusion to take the cab anyway as I felt that it would be something thats gonna be worthwhile.

I commented to the taxi driver how I like the sticker and spoke to him throughout the journey. I even managed to give some encouragement as I know, being a taxi driver isn't the most enjoyable job. =) I love to encourage people and seeing the smile light up on their faces.

I really enjoyed it as it lights a hope in them and in me that there are people like these who cares for others and can make a difference where they are. We both agreed on how obnoxious taxi drivers can be these days and seeing that there are people who are otherwise really delights me. God bless that man! =D

Looking back at all the things I was before, I can tell you that if I were just to get a glimpse of who I was before years ago, I would want to strangle that old Benjamin Soo to death! =.=".. O the horror and humiliation! *tear clothes in grief* =P

But who I am now and how I live my life now, I owe it ALL to the one who sits on the throne, The Alpha and The Omega, Yahweh, My Saviour, My Redeemer, El Shaddai. Nothing compares to the promise I have in Him! Mannn.. Even the thought of all that transformation that took place over the years as God continues to transform me just echoes expressions of AWE in me! I AM OVERWHELMED! =D

Some of you have asked me why am I so passionate with the things I do and about this God I serve. Let me tell you why. =D And I've found the perfect video that will answer your question perfectly! Haha! Enjoy! =)

What more can I say? Blessed? Let me know. =)

We the redeemed

Hey people!! =D Aaaaahh even as I'm typing this I'm slowly starting to fall asleep. Lol! Had to wake up early today for my driving test! And just when I thought I had to be in the office by 6am(so I woke up at 5am to get ready T-T) I actually had to be there at only 7.15! *grr..* The good thing was that I woke up at 5am, so sleepy that I fell back to sleep and woke up again at 6.45am!! Seriously! lol! I tell you, everytime that happens, its seriously all God's work and not my own. Haha!

It was all good! What really frightened me right in the beginning was that there was a driver that was suppose to pick me up to the center and he came in a Kawasaki! Lol! No kidding! Was told that he came with a bike to save time from all the jam! But at the speed and way he drives!! Haha! I never imagine my death to be this way. lol! Because of that I was really scared and worried all the way, not because of the exam but my precious life! LOL! I came down from the bike and the fella smiled and asked:

"Never sit on bike before ar?"

Not in a death-defying way. No. =.="..

I was actually pretty tensed during the test hoping I'll do well! Was declaring for a victory over a challenge today and also for God's peace to activate in me and believe me, it works! ;) Halfway through waiting for my turn I have this really bad stomach ache and woah it hurts like mad! Really hate it when it happens! But with an assurance of faith, I laid my hand over the pain, command the pain and whatever to be put off/healed till I enter pass the doorstep of my house and amazingly thats what happened! lol! God is soooo good!

The first three obstacles, the one that I was afraid of most was the slope. But I made it through! Two of the other obstacles, made it through! Once again, God is good! =)

The road test however was different. I've got someone with a very nasty attitude! Went into the car and greeted and all I got was silence. So I thought, hmm, maybe she's just being serious (oh yeah, its a she). Without even giving me instructions (hellllooo??) whenever I make a small little mistake she would go "Ishhh! Engkau ni!! * and starts saying bad things*"

Err hello?? *Sigh* the more I think about it right now, the more provoked I am to call fire down from Heaven. =P But fine, I just went on, put on a smile and calmly take it in (as what she said affected my driving to a point where I almost didn't know what I was doing. =P)

Guess what? I passed. =) Once again, God is good! score: 17/20.

Heres a tribute to whoever wants to know my full name. Hahaha.

Saw this in the LRT as I took my own way back to Setia Jaya. I love the series! Still have not completely watched the complete season 3 yet!

Last but not least. The Pegawai JPJ:

*evil grin* A typical conversation in the future with her could be: "Mrs. Mazura *evil chuckle* hows your family? hows your little boy, the one wearing a red T-shirt right now outside the house? Has anyone ever thought you never to leave your kids playing outside alone? *evil chuckle* *puts down phone*".

LOL! Ok la! I'm not that bad.. XP
