His corner

I have recently bought 2 bookshelves to give my extremely packed books a breathing space. Each time I need to find a book at the back of the shelf, I have to move out all the books in the front to get it, it’s like those super small parking lots in HK, they ask how long you would pick up your cars and then they decide which parking slice they would park your car, the sooner you need your car back, the more front your car would be parked – it’s like my bookshelf!!! And one of the new shelf I have dedicated to all my Christianity books, I told my sister it’s the God’s corner. Sad that I can only give Him a bookshelf but He gives me my life. But this is a start I suppose! All the books from Philip Yancey, Rick Warren, C.S. Lewis, Mother Teresa, and the Bible of course now lie comfortably in the shelf without needing to squeeze for space with other books. It’s not so much the space in fact, it’s the action and thought that I know if I want to excel in my religious studies, I got to read more and refer more to the Scriptures, there is no easy way out. Joyce Meyer once said in her conference, she said ‘you got to study it, if you want to know it well! You just have to spend the time and study it.” It’s not only reading it, it’s study it – as if you are going to school! If you want to be good, you have to do something. I am still following my One Year Bible plan and I am on track! I have just finished 1/12th of it! Feeling awesome! If I can spend so much time on other magazines, why can’t I spend similar amount on God’s words?

It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees

Deuteronomy 17:19

I pray to God that I will pursue to read His words and further to act His words.

you are what you do

Visited a friend at his house today, he is passionate about growing plants and in his house – he grows all kinds of plantations! And happened that another friend at his house asked me: do you have a hobby? I then have a quick scan what I did over this holiday and realize I don’t really have a solid ‘hobby’ like this friend of mine has. But where did my time go? Thank Lord I caught up with my Bible study one year plan – i finally caught up with day 25!! But where our time goes determine really a lot where we would end up, we have a choice in spending the time on our plants, on our hobbies, on our children, on our pets, on our food, on our look, on our investment, on our family? What you do determines who you are, staying positive and hopeful and trustful of God: will bring you where you hope to be.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Philippians 4:8

I pray to God that I will rely on Him and stay positive about life!

Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.
