Thanks and kudos to u all

REally wana thank God for His guidance and blessings for the 1st half of a year of my full-time ministry as a youth worker...He has really pulled me through and led me every step of the way...And for the youths, really would like to thank you all for all your encouragement and love and care and concern...you know who you are...and its usually those that read my blog...thanks...

Yesterday, I had the urge to compete once again...I have not had this feeling since last year... I wanted to quit playing pool competitively because I knew it would take alot of time and affect my ministry...But the adrenalin rush and the feeling of playing well at something you excel...that feeling is indescribable...I dunno...but sometime soon, if God permits, I would like to play in a major tournament once again...not for glory or money or whatever...just the feeling of using the gift God has blessed me with...I don't care about rankings anymore...I just want to play my best...losing also is fine...as long I compete...

Pain in my heart, but burden lifted

Finally...after praying and letting God talk to me...I have finally decided that although the gal of my dreams may be sweet, caring, kind and kinda angelic...she isn't the one for me...

Pains my heart but i guess its for the better before I do anything i will regret...i finally saw the light when i just feel i'm not able to communicate with her at a level where i can get to know her better...I seem to talk to all my other female frenz and communicate so much better with them than her...I guess its just finally I let God wake me up from this year-long dream and opened my eyes to the focus which should be on Him...

Therefore, I doubt you will c the happy happy go lucky josiah for a while...He's taking a holiday...you will c a more toned-down and maybe even boring josiah...He's trying to get rid of his pain in heart and focus on serving God...

Bible Study and Prayer group!

Hi, this is to all the youths in the Mirror Ministry...I would like to know the interest level of you all with regards to small group bible study and prayer....the bible study would be done by an area basis. Meaning I will meet whoever is interested depending whether you stay in the north, west, central or east of Singapore, I will go to your area (maybe eg is like east I meet you all at tampines mall). If anyone is interested in having bible study to learn more abt God, please indicate to me.

As for the prayer group, I'm finding youths who are interested to pray for our ministry as a whole. It will be done before/after youth meetings. If interested, please indicate to me too.

Rememeber, bible study and prayer are vital for the growth of the youth ministry. Because without it, we would not be even able to call ourselves part of the Christian church. I will be praying God will instill the passion of His word in you and ignite the hunger for prayer.

Sorry for the slow update! Thank God for the CSI event!

Firstly, I would like to praise God in the way He helped me get well so quickly last saturday...I was feeling weak, feverish and had a bad flu...and i had to act in the CSI youth event...amazingly...just half an hour b4 the event...God took all my pain and illness away...it just reminded me how wonderful God is and itz so symbolic of the cross...how Jesus took away the sins of the world..by showing how much He loved us and died on our behalf...I appreciated Jesus so much more after that day...

Really wana thank God also for the newcomers that came for the CSI event and the people behind the whole event...the hardwork really paid off...because i totally believed God was truly glorifed throughout the event...

Six pack? Is it a dream?

For people that has known me my whole life...I have always been fat..other than maybe the time when i was hit by my thyroid where i drastically lost weight to 67kg...

But as of 2008...I want to make a honest effort to lose all those unwanted fat...and be as healthy as I can be...giving my all to God and making youth ministry a wonderful place where God can guide and lay His hands on and bless...

I'm writing this entry as a personal challenge to myself...if you find it irrelevant...the X is at the top right corner of your screen...but if not..just read on...

I'm forcing myself to lose the unwanted amount of fat in on my body...since 30th Dec 2007 till now...I have been exercising everyday(weights training and HIIT) and sticking to a strict diet (no fried food, no fast food, only water, lean meat and more veggies and fruits pls). I have gone from wearing XXL/XL to L and from a 39 inch waist to a 36 inch waist.

But I feel...i want to go one step further...for the next 7 weeks...I wana push as hard as i can to c my abs and even wana to have a six pack ab by my birthday. I am very serious and for those around me...hope you can give me as much encouragement as u can...

I hope i don't sound too self-centred as i'm not..I just wana fulfill this lifelong dream and goal...i'm not getting any younger and i hope the effort i put will go a long way in leading a healthy and fruitful life for God...

Stats as of 25th Feb 2008 (will be updated bi-weekly):

Chest - 44 inches

Waist - 36 inches

Stomach - 39 inches

Hips - 46 inches

Biceps - 14 inches

Yes that's how brutally honest i'm gonna be because I want to motivate and "force myself to drop these numbers"...maybe other than the biceps one...

Believe it or not...yesterday was the 1st time I watched I not stupid 2...wow that show really shows the heartache of singaporean youths and parents alike...the pursuit of education...the pursuit of monetary excellence...trying to make a better life for the family...love and care among true blue friends...owning up to your mistakes...parents taking time to understand their children...

Honestly....I teared quite abit...because the show made me understand how blessed God has allowed me to be...my family, my friends, my life...even though I have done so much wrong....God still forgives me and allows me to go forward with Him...

As for my family and friends, they have always been by my side through the hard times...and definitely we share the good times...therefore I say to all...appreciate your friends and family...because they DO care about you and want the best for you...

I cried when the little brother said: FAMILY, you know the meaning? It means FATHER AND MOTHER I LOVE YOU.

Such a simple sentence, yet so profound. Now I would like to emphasise, is V day so impt? To those who are looking forward to that day, Feb 14th happens to Friendship Day also. Remember your priorities and not focus all ur time on who you like...but the people around you who have been with you through thick and thin.....
