Who are you doing it for?

I've learnt a really valuable lesson today.. lol! Yes, it took me a few times of incident before I actually realize it but well, a lesson learnt is a lesson learnt! =P

We had our basketball practice today.. Really training up for the upcoming match against the Russian team and it'll probably be our only match that we could win! XP 

But because our teacher wasn't there, we decided to have a match against the Junior basketball team.. Just for the fun of it...

But.....

During the whole game, my attention was only to myself, and when I do that, I tend to play poorly, and end up going home feeling unsatisfied.. Like something's not right.. Because when I could've substitute with other people on the team, I was selfish to take the whole game by myself.. XP

Compared to when I give my best, but at the same time, when I do it for His glory, I tend to do alot better, and even if I lost in a match, I walk home feeling happy and content.. 

Matthew 23:12

For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

James 4:10

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

What a day! =D

What an awesome day! After a very long time, finally got the chance to eat Chicken Rice again! And this one is made by Singaporeans! haha! Well good enough lar! Now at least theres a place in Laos to remind my tastebuds of home! =P

And the food is seriously good! Pretty costly but its worth a once in awhile visit! Restaurant offers a very unique/clean environment! Better than most of the shops here in Laos! =P

Well that was after going to school to get the new uniform, and boy does it look weird. My sister commented that I look like a clown. O_O"!

But it was great to get to shoot some hoops again after so long! Really enjoyed it! Interested to be involved in the next coming basketball competition!

New building, new subject, new teachers, new classmates, its gonna be pretty exciting(Which I bet will only last a few months? XP)! But oh well, final year after all.. haha!

Anyway! With that aside, on to the next topic! H-A-I-R! XP

And yes! I'm still losing hair! LOTS of them! lol!

But I'm just strenghten hearing this still soft whisper letting me know that I can be rest assured that I will be healed and He will simply take this burden and shame away from me!

Though ashamed and afraid of the worse that could happen, there is great possibility of the best that could happen as well knowing that the God I have in me is God of all possibilities! =D

Its a new day!

New day today! After I heard from my friends that theres a 2nd and 3rd batch for NS I was shocked.. =.=".. To be honest, one thing I would never want to do again is to have my hair shaved! =P

But whatever God plans to do I'm willing to go all the way and further His cause here on planet Earth! One of the reasons why I'm afraid to shave my head is because well, the last time I did that, I end up having baldspots all over my head.. =P because at the same time, like I mentioned before, I had Thyroid..

These days however, Everytime I take a shower, theres bound to be lots of hair that comes out in the process.. Whats the cause? I don't know either.. XP

I thought to myself that I would not go for a check-up but instead allow God to heal me, and I've been praying constantly, as now you can slowly start to see my scalp.. XP Well not that visible but I was afraid that it'll get even worse..

I kept telling God that I'll trust in Him and I will submit to His plans because obviously, He knows what He's doing.. No parents in the right mind will go "I want my child to lose hair each day till he grows bald" now would they? =P

I'm still not sure whats the cause of it, and my mum won't bring me to a doctor here in Laos because it might get worse.. =P But whatever it may be, I'm believing for it to be healed! It might get worse, but by all means, I will hold on.. And I really hope my hair really will stop to fall off.. XP

The moment in life when you go "Woahh.."

Lord, when I'm weak, You are strong.. You are all that I long for.. I need You~

This is not gonna be an emo post, heck, come to think of it, I've never posted emo posts before.. Rather, this would be a soon-to-be-testimony of how God would use this opportunity to show that indeed He is the God of hope and God of all! To show that God will provide a way even in the hardest situations!

Alright, so this is what happened.. Today is only 9 days away from us going back to KL..

Then when I thought that we're all gonna go to KL with no troubles and worries.. Something came up...

My dad walks in and told us something that made me go speechless..

He seemed troubled and he was sighing, putting his hand on his head.. And that wasn't good news at all.. He then asked us to pray for our family, saying that something happened..

The news is that we have to come up with not 1 but 20 000 US dollars by 15th this month to pay off ALL that my parents had loaned for their work project here in Laos..

Now when I heard that, I went "WHAT?!".. Thats like the biggest dept we've ever fallen into! 20000 US dollars!! thats like around 70000 Malaysian Ringgit! My dad was sighing and was saying how are we gonna get that much money in 1 week?!

And especially so close on when I could be in KL again! I sat there, speechless, and this still small whisper of God just went "Who do you trust? Who do you trust, Ben?" And I just tell God "You Lord, I trust in You! I trust in You!"

I'm not going through this alone! Jesus is with me! He is the God of hope and He will and shall provide for us! I just know it and I just believe He will! He will make a miracle happen! Nothing is impossible for my God! He will carry us through this storm! I'm gonna fly like a soaring eagle I am, straight through this storm with God by my side and I'm not gonna be blown away! I'm gonna succeed with God by my side!! I KNOW I WON'T FAIL!! GOD IS WITH ME!!

He will bring me through this storm.. I know, He will be there with me!

And you guys are my witness here.. you guys are gonna see a miracle happen soon and will know that God indeed is GOOD! I'm surrendering everything to His hands right now!

I would appreciate very much also if you would pray for my family and I too... Together lets witness just how great and awesome our God is!

I will be still, Lord... I'll be still... [Psalm 46:10]
