Counting the day towards the end of my day in present company will begin a new chapter in my career. I have put all my faith in God whom I trust that He will lead and guide me through the way...
I think many of us like me is a common thing to practice in this working society in order to progress ourselves to another level which could enlarge us the opportunity to a better place and of course a better pay!
I have been working with the company for 4 years and have made my decision to leave is simply not easy way. I find it is no longer suitable for me to stay on as I need a changes. Hope to see myself on this new chapter will lead me to one step further for a better one.
Living within your Income
When you spend more than you earn, you end up in tremendous stress. The Bible says, "Stupid people spend their money as fast as they get it" (Proverbs 21:20 TEV).
What motivates us to live beyond our means? Why do we spend ourselves into debt? Why are we rarely satisfied with what we have?
There are three myths that drive us into debt:
MYTH: Having more things will make me happier.
FACT: "Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!...So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!" (Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 NLT)
MYTH: Having more things will make me more important.
FACT: "Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because your true life is not made up of the things you own, no matter how rich you may be" (Luke 12:15 TEV).
MYTH: Having more things will make me more secure.
FACT: "The Lord is like a strong tower, where the righteous can go and be safe. Rich people, however, imagine that their wealth protects them like high, strong walls around a city" (Proverbs 18:10-11 TEV).
When we buy into these myths, we always overspend. So, here's how to enjoy life more on less:
• Find happiness in helping others. Jesus said, "There is more happiness in giving than in receiving" (Acts 20:35 TEV). Just look around you and you'll see this is true. The happiest people are those who help the most, not those who have the most. Misers are always miserable.
• Find self-worth by getting to know God. God says, "...you are precious to me..." (Isaiah 43:4 TEV). You matter to God. He made you for a purpose. Genuine self-esteem comes from establishing a relationship with God and becoming all he meant for you to be.
• Find security in trusting God, not a bank balance. The Bible says, "Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, 'I will never leave you; I will never abandon you'" (Hebrews 13:5 TEV). Real security must be found in something that can never be taken from you. While there are many ways to lose your possessions, Jesus said God will take care of you if you trust Him.

Thank you Lord Father...
Recently my bother in law, Jerry who had heart attack successfully undergone for his arteries blockage operation, which doctor confirmed 3 arteries have been blocked. He is now resting at home under medication with his daughter.
We pray everyday to ask God's healing and salvation to restore his health. Halleluia! God has indeed answered our prayer when we received a call from him that the operation had doing very well. We want to praise and thank God for his mighty healing and restoration for Jerry although he is non-believer yet, but we believe in faith he will come to know Lord Jesus one day. God is faithful and He is the one our hope who provides us every needs whenever we face difficulty times in our daily life.
My mom too was once saved by God in many years back. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer and that time I was just a teenage boy. Before then I already accepted Lord Jesus in 1994 without her knowledge. She had gone a hard time of struggling during the chemotherapy treatment and I prayed endlessly without fail asking God's healing for my mom and cry to seek his help. I still remember all and never will forget. How God is so good to me when I need him most.

Celebrate Mother's Day
We celebrated Mother's day in a economical cozy steak restaurant near Kampung Pandan roundabout. As every year goes by, my mother is getting older and older, yet she is still strong, healthy and energetic no doubt she is now 63. I still remember those days especially in my school days when I was just a small kid how mom sent me to school every morning by bicycle (that bicycle named Chopper). That bicycle was simply unique as the wheels had different sizes with tall steering handle just like a Harley bike. One big at the rear and small at the front. I remembered everytime I was sitting in front patiently, holding the handle while mother cycled with all her fullest energy. Although she looked tired and exhausted when I saw her face, but she never complain or reveal it. She had brought us up four brothers including me with her unconditioned love and care with a living just enough for the day during the time.
The other 2 bothers are in Johor now and have their own living. Most of the time like this kind of occasion they are not with us, only they will come back when it comes to Chinese New Year reunion dinner.
Thank you mom! and Happy Mother's day...
You always the best mother in my life
No Arms, No Legs!
When I look again at these pictures after earlier posted about the little girl with only 1 arm, now this man has no arms and legs at all! You may wonder why I posted all these pictures after one another. I personally feel and wanted to share with all the readers here for those stopping by that it is important to remember how God has blessed and gave us a complete and perfect physical body and we should be thankful for what we have now. This people yet have the strong spirit and faith to live on. They never give up their life. Just imagine putting ourselves in their shoes, and how would it be like.
My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth 'defect'. As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.
'And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him.' That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these 'bad' things happen in our life.
I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.
I am now twenty-three years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.
I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.
I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope , to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the ' Oprah Winfrey Show '! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called 'No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!'
