C-ourage of letting go
E-nd of bondage, Start of freedom

For the 1st time in several months, I picked it up and read it. I have also read a devotion... (read below)

It will take lots of perseverance and strength to continue my walk back to where I belong... but... I remember this saying, 'The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step'

Earlier... I went to a shop to check out some DVDs. Some English series caught my attention. I am 'addicted' to these lately... if you have not already known... hehe...

CSI (Season 1-8) caught my attention, then One Tree Hill (Season 1-5) & Criminal Minds(Season 1-3). I have decided to buy CSI, but still lamenting between One Tree Hill and Criminal Minds. In the end, the love of basketball helped me make the choice of the 2nd set of DVDs.

I started watching One Tree Hill when I got home. It reminds me of the days I used to play basketball and how much I loved the game.

A character in the series whom I love a lot - Lucas Scott said this...

“Sometimes it seems like you are the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied, or barely getting by. But that feeling's a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes. Someone to help us hear the music in the world, to remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you. ”

God has been planting seeds in my heart.... He has been performing heart surgery on me. And today, the surgery room's lights went off. It was a SUCCESSFUL surgery! It's still a long way ahead to be fully recovered from this heart surgery, but, God will be there every step of the way.

The devotion I read earlier...

Immersed in Grace

He called you to share in his glory in Christ, a glory that will continue forever. ~ 1 Peter 5:10

To believe we are totally and eternally debt free is seldom easy. Even if we've stood before the throne and heard it from the king himself, we still doubt. As a result, many are forgiven only a little, not because the grace of the king is limited, but because the faith of the simmer is small. God is willing to forgive all. He's willing to wipe the slate completely clean. He guides us to a pool of mercy and invites us to bathe. Some plunge in, but others just touch the surface. They leave feeling unforgiven...

Where the grace of God is missed, bitterness is born. But where the grace of God is embraced, forgiveness flourished...

The more we immerse ourselves in grace, the more likely we are to give grace.

A New Beginning

Curtain dancing... cool breeze whistling... calmness. It's a beautiful night.

2009 - The Year of the RETURN

The return... who? what? when? where? how? As I sat there listening to the sermon this morning, many things, events, people, emotions flashed back like video playing in my head.

Tears used to accompany me to dreamland... but...

NOT NOW ANYMORE!!! =)

2009... A New Beginning!

It's time to LET GO.

# 23

It's been a long long time since I last played basketball. I played last nite... and it was so fun! Reminds me of the days when I used to be such great fan of Micheal Jordan, Chicago Bulls... =P

I had bruises on my knee and toe... cuz we played with 'kaki ayam'(bare foot), and my knee either knocked on someone or the cement floor... hahaha!!! But... it ws fun!!!

It is just a very good feeling. =)

那晚，她哭了...

The Guardian

This is at least the 4th time I've watched this movie. I juz LOVE it!

Some quotes I love, from the movie :-

There is a legend of a man who lives beneath the sea. He is a fisher of men, the last hope of all those who have been left behind. Many survivors claim to have felt his gripping hands beneath them; pushing them up to the surface; whispering strength until help could arrive. But this, of course, is only a legend.

Jake Fischer: What makes a legend? Is it what someone did while they were alive? Or how they're remembered after they're gone?

Jake Fischer: I won't let go!
Ben Randall: I know.

Song from the movie :-

Never Let Go - Byran Adams

Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live? Can you take what you need, but take less than you give? Could you close every day, without the glory and fame? Could you hold your head high, when no one knows your name? That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go. We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul. Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who; Will never look back, never look down, and never let go.

Can you lose everything, you ever had planned? Can you sit down again, and play another hand? Could you risk everything, for the chance of being alone? Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone? That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go. We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul. Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who; Will never look back, never look down, and never let go.

Never let go, Never let go, Never let go

Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who; Will never look back, never look down, and never let go.

We say goodbye, but never let go. We live, we die, 'but you can't save every soul. Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who; Will never look back, never look down, and never let go.

Will never look back, never look down, and never let go.

Never let go [x3]

I'm always encouraged after watching this movie. I dunno why... but somehow...this movie juz sort of brings me back to life... SLOWLY...

This is not the 1st time I felt this way... after watching this movie.

NEVER LET GO

I guess God is reminding me that He will NEVER let go of me... even though I have let Him go...
