Food for Thought

...growth means feeling a little bit new to yourself. An insulated life may protect you from unpleasant feelings, but it also limits you from having experiences and meeting people, both of which might help you and bring you delights you never imagined or thought possible.

I have just learnt how to use MSN to make voice and video calls with the help of a friend. Haha.

Burning Man Music Festival

I have never heard of this event until a sister-in-Christ told me about it a while ago. I am definitely keen to participate since it has to do with music. However, after briefly reading about it online, I am not quite sure if I am ready. Anyway, if I do participate, it will be a very different kind of experience for me.

When I start my own business, integrity will be one essential quality that I look for (expect to see) in the people that I employ. A person who lacks experience or the necessary skills can be trained. However, a person who lacks integrity is nearly impossible (or totally impossible) to change unless God intervenes.

Women are generally gifted with sixth sense. Thank God that I am a woman and that I have sharp sixth sense. Having sixth sense, to me, is essential in business and in judging the character of a person.

Incidentally, while I was chatting with a cab driver this afternoon, he suddenly said something to the effect that I'll be a good businesswoman (in the business sense) even though we did not touch on the topic of business at all. Hmmm...maybe it's a confirmation from God or a revelation from Him???

New Year Resolutions

I am looking forward to 2010, because I know the new year is going to be a brand new year with brand new beginnings for me. It will be a year of new directions for me, where ministry and career are concerned. It will also be a year in which I will be resuming my MDiv.

I am looking forward to becoming my own boss. Hopefully, I can be a boss of both a social enterprise as well as a publishing firm. It's my prayer that they will manifest God's glory and make a huge impact in the world for His glory.

Children have a special place in my heart. Thus, I am looking forward to serving in the children's ministry in my church in 2010. Some of these children have parents who are serving time in prison, while others are from low-income families. Hence, serving these children is especially meaningful to me.

I have a great love for learning. So naturally I look forward to resuming my MDiv, which is basically a theology degree, in 2010. I also have plans to take up a Post-Grad Diploma in TESOL as well as MBA. In addition, I also plan to learn guzhen, which is a Chinese musical instrument. I know it will take time to realise all my academic dreams. Nevertheless, with God's help, I believe that I should be able to complete them within several years.

Help Me Find a Way Back to You.....

Thank God for this new song that I have just written. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went for a worship workshop (conducted by Roma Waterman from Australia) yesterday. Hmmm...it was a good learning experience...it's so amazing that quantum physics has shown that there are sounds in everyone of us...ie. our DNAs are made up of sounds (or vibrations) so to speak...

Some sounds were being played during the workshop...sounds that have been transcribed from human beings (one is an AIDS patient), swan, dolphin, stars, Jupiter and Saturn. Wow...it's unbelievable that a mouse's DNA makeup, when transcribted into sounds, is a piece of classical music!!! The sound transcribed from a dolphin, on the other hand, sounds to me like a Chinese sentimental piece. And HEAR THIS...the sound transcribed from a human being is a grand symphony!!! But the sound transcribed from an AIDS patient sounds really melancholic....

The speaker, Roma also shared on how to recognise the sounds of nations. Hmmm...this workshop is really worth its value...Thank God!
