quotes

along the past two months that i had enjoyed in my life, even tho i was not able to write a lot, i picked up a lot from things that i had seen, heard, tasted, smelled, and felt. but for now, i'd liked to talked about things that i heard. i like quotes. i like picking up things that i heard along the way, whether it is something that some one said, or maybe even something that someone read from something, especially the bible. here are the list of things;

1. God is asking for what we have, not what we don't have
this was from one of my friends in group, thanx mp

for me, this quote give me a sense of wanting to do something more than what i had done; something bigger than me, bigger than what i had done, bigger than my life, bigger than my training, bigger than my races, and even bigger than my work in the office

2. slipstream
staying behind Jesus Christ; staying within the peloton; letting the
front(JC) take all the pressure and do most of the work - this was from
one of the speaker in JH from the africa team

this thing is more like a term for me to always remember that GOD is always in front us taking care of things for us. yet, we should definitely stay within HIM

3. speak to GOD about people first before speaking to people about GOD
this was from the senior pastor of the church that i go to

this quote reminded me to always pray for the 'lost' ones, including those that are my family members and relatives

4. we are called to work with GOD, not necessarily for GOD
i forgot where this came from, but i think it is also from one of my
friend in group, while she was in the summer camp thing

for me, this quote made me realized and reminded that GOD is always the one that will help us in anything that we are facing. since HE also promises thru the bible that HE will send us a helper for us

5. perseverance changes us
i think this was from the senior pastor of the church

this quote hit me on the spot, as i remember that GOD helped me with the perseverance of my training that i'm not that fat anymore....

here are some of the things that i saw, eat and enjoy along the road and time while i was not here....




see if you can figure what is that above.......





o my goodness........

life is indeed always interested. that’s what I always encountered, so far in my life. it will throw u everything that u r expected and at the same time it will definitely throw u things that are unexpected. i have been fortunate and blessed to be given the abilities to handle those; whether it is in the form of patience, mental ability, or even the physical abilities.
after having been 'imprisoned' in the office that i worked, today is actually one of the days that i can be a little bit relaxed. things in the office are not as hectic, therefore i have a little time to reminiscence of what just happened for the past two months.....my goodness....
here is the somewhat quick rundown;
i worked for about 12 hours in day for many many days of the weeks; been traveling on my car for about 4000miles that my car finally reach 100k miles (yeach.....wow...that actually is a milestone for me); got soaked by rain during bike ride many many times; meet so many many different kind of people from many different kind of continent in the world; learned new languages; learned new cultures; learned to dance; learned a lot of new stuffs at the office about engineering, constructions, etc, work stuffs (not going to bother u much); and i'm sure there are others that i can't think of rite now....but guess what?
out of all that, i felt pretty good and amazed at myself and.....about being a part of GOD's plan and/or just being able to be with HIM. at the same time, i did feel that i was kind of prepare for all of those that i was facing.
how come?
about two months ago, i had someone told me that GOD is strengthening me rite now. so, thanks to GOD and thanks to that person from church.
