Hahas finally a week has passed again and here i am having the chance to blog again!!:D Special thanks to my sections 5 wonderful shooters; if not for them, we will not have book out early on friday instead of waking up at 5 on sat, eating breakfast and then do area cleaning before going home!!:D

This week learnt about being merciful in my everyday life which i feel its so true cos in life, we bound to have sorrows, hatred and unforgiveness, yet it is the unforgiveness and resentment that causes us to produce bitterness in our heart and eventually leads to emotional and mental stress. To me, it is not easy to forgive ppl esp when they have hurt me in a very deep way, yet when i find myself trying my best to forgive themm, it is like a heavy burden have been lifted off my mind.
To be merciful is to show forgiveness, compassion and kindness. It is not just showing mere pity on a person, but also providing the solutions to solve their problems.
Mercy, forgiveness and compassion are all in de realm of attitudes, they cannot be mandated or enforced, rather, i need to decidie for myself cos nobody can force me to forgive this person or that person. Yet, how then do we learn how to show mercy to others?
The key is to learn mercy, we often have to undergo temtations and difficulities so that we can develop compassion and empathy for others. For example, let say a person score badly in his exams. When ppl heard it, the first tot they have in their mind is to lecture the person for not studying hard enough. Instead of understanding the situation first, they jump straight to criticism. yet on the other hand, let say i have been through exams and just like the guy, score badly initally and later work hard to achive good results, instead of criticising him, i will understand his situation and offer encouragment and empathy first. This is just a small scale, yet in our lives, we experience greater and more difficult trials so that when we are subject to difficuties, we will be able to develop empathy for others. So, let us all be the source of mercy we can provide for others as a result of the tribulations that we have all gone thru.
The most important lesson i learnt is that the key to forgiveness is forgetfulness. Of cos, it is definitely not easy to forget the person hu have hurt me deeply, yet, when we make de decision to tell tat person ' oh, tat incident really happen? i don remember that!!' to the both of us, that staement will mean an eternal blessing; the person recieve forgiveness, while i receive healing in my mind.
Hahas sorri for posting such long entry, but jux wanna encourage each and everyone of u, right now u may have someone whom u cant seem to be able to forgive or in future u find in hard to forgive someone who will hurt u, but make a decision to forgive and forget, for when we offer forgiveness to others, we in turn recieve forgiveness when we done things wrong too. It may take just a while, few months, few yrs to forgive that some1, but as we begin to walk in forgiveness, we find ourselves walking in optimism, cheerfulness and mercy:D
Opps, nxt week won be able to book out, got field camp ahhhh!!:D

When i chance upon this name on the net, it just simply caught my eye cos the name is so meaningful; using the gift that God has given. And it really inspired me to turn my dreams into reality and by using what God has given me to acheive my destiny! Believe that a new enocunter will bring on a whole new life, and i am prepared to do greater things for God in future even though i may face difficulties.
Learnt a very impt attitude called meekness yesterday whicgh i feel that it is a must have attitude if we want to build on a closer and deeper relationship with each other. Simply, meekness does not mean weakling, and lack of personality, opinion or self esteem.
1. Meekness is the attitude of humility
2. Meekness is esteeming others better than yourself
3. Meekeness is the absence of the spirit of retaliation
4. Meekness is the presence of self-control
5. Meekness is total trust in the Lord
6. Meekness is demonstrated by serving others
7. Meekness is submission to God's will.
And what deeply impacted me is that meekenss means the absence of retaliation. At times, when we face a conflict with even our best friends, we tend to aruge or so call retaliate just to make sure that our own views or points are correct. Yet, even when sometimes we are correct, but if we do not exercise self-control and ended up in argument, that is when relationships will experiece a crack. What pst Kong said yest that touches me most is that i need to forgo some of my rights and hold my emotions in check at times and when i do that, God will defense me and the truth will come to light. As such, when we face conflicts at times, we shld really ask ourselves isit really worth breaking a relationship that could be build upon for years just to make sure we are always right all the time??
Only when we learn to self control, we learn how to be meek and we shall achieve our destiny:D
A new journey of greatness is coming......=)
