Let's run together!
Recently, I recalled something I've heard when I was growing up as a young christian...
People can, but I can't
Through the early years of growing up as a believer with my fellow church-mates wasn't easy with all the opinions we hear at times.
- Things like, "You are really on fire for God huh? I used to be too. But wait till you're here for another 2 years..."
- After serving in the ministry... "You're a CGL in CHC? My friend used to be one too. I'll give you 3 years, and you'd probably get tired of it..."
- Entering into NS: "People usually backslide after entering into army. If you can still attend church regularly you should be happy... Better not talk about ministry..."
- Going into the working place isn't much better too... "Now that you're finally going to experience working life, committing to Church & God wouldn't be feasible for you anymore..."
Others can live life casually... others can choose the easy way out... others can do whatever they want. But...
Others can but we can't.
I'm proud to be living amongst CG members, leaders and pastors that carries this conviction in their lives. Let's all run this race together!

NxGen session 1
It was a brief orientation at Riverwalk on the 9th of Jan 2009.
I saw people that I've never seen before. It's really feels like a CK ZONE meeting..
I think out of everyone there, I only knew about 10% of them.
The start of the activity is about building a structure from scratch, using things like, wooden chopsticks, pails, lego, straws, newspaper, boxes, and tapes too..
As easy as it may sounds, we were given 16mins to build it up, and it has to go through a weight and wind test.
When every team has finished building it, it was time for us to present our "work"
One by one, teams went up, armed with words and actions explaining to the rest of us the meaning of their piece.
At the end of it, when we sumarise the event, it was told that this course would last 16weeks of our time. and that is exactly why we were given 16mins to complete the structure.
As I though on my way home, during the 16mins we took to build the structure from scratch, it represents us the way we are now, different people, representing different sets of items.,
not knowing how, what we could do. But as time grows, each of us, began to do something as a team, each taking a portion role to put up together.
I believe it is going to be a very rewarding leadership training series - if you can, I would strongly encourage you to commit to benefitting from this. =)

Session 1 with Brother Poh (what he taught us; lessons and illustrations)"
I am going to attempt to reconstruct the essence of the lessons Bro Poh presented to us during the short session on Thursday at Riverwalk based on my own understanding - so please be merciful to me if i miss out or misinterpret something.
Psalm 42 (The Message)
A psalm of the sons of Korah.
A white-tailed deer drinks from the creek;
I want to drink God,
deep draughts of God.
I'm thirsty for God-alive.
I wonder, "Will I ever make it—
arrive and drink in God's presence?"
I'm on a diet of tears—
tears for breakfast, tears for supper.
All day long
people knock at my door,
Pestering,
"Where is this God of yours?"
Sometimes, in worship, to us, it's just like pushing a button, no longer longing, no longer hungry for God's presence and anointing, when we don't engaged Him, God's presence will not fall.
Always we have to tell ourselves to engage, to desire His presence, to want to be there, at the holy of hollies.
Do you remember, when running your 2.4km during your school days?
In the middle of the run, our body cry out for water?
Worship should be like that, a desire, a crying out...
What is worship, when we don't feel His presence, don't receive anything? - Wasted time.
Always seek Him in earnest, and a wild hunger; as the chorus of our church's own worship song goes:
Here I stand, thirsting for You
Here I am, surrendered to You
Let my life be Your clay
Mould me in Your way
Here I stand, desperate for You
Here I am, a vessel for You
Let my life sing Your praise;
Bring Honour to Your Name
Let us indeed engage with Him every time we pray, praise, worship, and read His Word; never allow any moment spent seeking to know His heart, mind, will and being be a moment treated casually, because if we do, it'll all only become wasted time that we can never get back.

Guy's body shapes
Hello my dear sister and BROTHERS,
MALE BODY SHAPESMesomorph
CHARACTERISTICS:
- large bone structure
- hard body with well defined muscles
- naturally athletic physique
- best body type for bodybuilding
- find it quite easy to gain and lose weight
- naturally strong
The mesomorph body type responds the best to weight training. Gains are usually seen very quickly, especially for beginners. The downside to mesomorphs is they gain fat more easily than ectomorphs.
SOLUTION:- Watch calorie intake.
- Combine of weight and cardio work outs
- Work on short bursts of explosive, dynamic and intense aerobic activity near to maximum effort - short sprints, jumping and punching.
- Do more weight-bearing exercise - pump iron. Use heavy weights, up to 90 per cent of your maximum capability and complete at least three sets of each exercise with no more than seven repetitions per set. Ideally isolate one muscle group at a time and work it until exhausted.
- You must have plenty of rest between each workout to allow the muscle to grow.
Next post would be the last post for guys.
