Bible in mobile phone

Oh this is cool. I just realised you can have bible in your mobile phone when i saw Karen has it in her phone. Cool... i love this. Went surfing the net for it yesterday and downloaded it. I installed both english and chinese bible.... hahaha.... so interesting. Just that the english one only have KJV version. The chinese one is in simplified chinese so easier to read. It comes in many different languages as well. And the best thing is..... ITS FREE! :)

You may want to check out this website http://gobible.jolon.org/

There are a 2 ways to install the software to your mobile phone but think its better to download to your PC, unzip it and then dump it to your phone folder (either by infra-red, bluetooth or connect a cable to ur phone to tranfer the file.). Go to the folder then select "Install"..... as simple as that.

Thought this is really handy when you are always on the move n didn't carry a bible in ur bag.

Dealing with Depression

Its a little booklet that someone passed to me. It has a few titles under the series called "Managing Your Emotion Series" by Benny Ho. Its quite good and practical.... here is a short note of what i read...

Managing Your Emotions Series

Dealing with Depression – Benny Ho

Lamentation 3:21-23

• One of the worst enemies of abundant living is depression
• An example is from Elijah where he went to a time of depression (1Kings 19)
• Most cases of depression are connected with some form of physical and emotional stress or pressure.
• Three Symptoms of Depression:
• A drained out condition
• One feels drained out, exemplified by the feeling of “I have had enough”
• We need to beware that we do not take on more than we can chew
• God gave us Sabbath day to rest
• Physical, emotional and even spiritual exhaustion can generate moods that lead us to quit easily.
• There are biophysical reasons for depression
• Some are due to chemical imbalances, nutritional deficiencies or even lack of sleep
• Lack of sleep makes one edgy, diminishing ones concentration levels and causing them to be prone to depression.
• Death mentality
• Suicide thoughts
• Life is a sacred gift from God and no man has the right to take it away.
• What depressed people are looking for are the listening ears of compassion people who will give them the permission to feel the way they do. They need people to understand and accede to their right to feel down, but at the same time, are able to help them control the actions they need to take in order to come out of their depression. (Eg: Job 6:14)
• A distorted perspective
• When a person is down, his focus shifts from the real to the perceived, from God to self.
• What we see depends on who we are. If we are doubtful, we will see hopelessness. If we are full of faith, we will see great potential.
• Three Cures for Depressions
• Physical restoration
• Rest, eat and sleep
• 10 keys to better sleeping habits
• Keep regular sleeping and waking hours
• Avoid the adrenalin rush after certain hours
• Reduce the amount of light early in the evening
• Stay away from all types of stimulants
• Do not force yourself to sleep
• Choose a quiet place to sleep
• Establish regular exercise in your routine
• Unclutter your heart and mind before you go to bed
• If you wake up in the night, stay in bed unless you really have to get up
• Invest in a good mattress
• Emotional restoration
• Talking is therapeutic. It brings out a sense of release
• When a person is down, do not give him a lecture but let him express his own feelings.
• Cliches may be true but they are not what a depress person need when they are in the depths of depression.
• Encourage them and help them fight the urge to isolate themselves.
• The depressed person must seek out fellowship. And the people around must reach out with understanding and encouragement.
• How we think will determine what we do.
• Spiritual restoration
• Realign ourselves with God spiritually
• Get into a quiet moment with Jesus and let Him left you out of your discouragement and restore you spiritually

BC 14th Anniversary on 15-Oct-07

Yesterday we celebrated BC's 14th anniversary. I brought my Mum, 2 nephews and their helper (Beth) along. It was a great time celebrating and looking back and counting the blessings God had given us throughout the journey.

Think I'm a chained down to the floor when Mum is with me... haha... i'm so concious that i don't dare to worship God like i use to. I scard kana wack by Mum again... heee hee.... and I think a lot of people are like that. Well, thank God we have a persistant pastor..... he made us repeat the same worship song for 3 times till our feets are off the ground! First 2 tries, still not much movement... 3rd try, all BCers are commanded to come out to the front of hall!! Though in my heart.... "noooo pastor, don't try this today!!!!!!!" ... but .... it turned out well! HAHAHA... phew... Mum no scold.... Thank God... Think i think too much liao.... I grown up liao!! Married liao!!! Shouldn't compromise with my stand!!!! This is really something i need to overcome. :)

Surely God is with us. The message i believe spoke to my Mom... especially during altar call. One of the item that pastor points out definitely points to Mom. As usual, Mom doesn't want to go for prayer... but believe that another seed is in my Mom's heart. Thank God for being so faithful. Surely what He promised will be fulfilled at the right time. So is Mom's salvation.

Thank God for the good food too! The durian puffs are nice!!!

(Oh that reminds me that i have not wash the food stain off my shirt!!! Better do tonight...)

Worship for tonight cell

For those involve, pls practice through. Had emailed you the chords and lyrics.

Here are the songs for tonight's worship at cell:

- Everything That Has Breath (refer to mp3 link in this post)
- Awesome In This Place (As I Come Into Your Presence)
- The Song of Jabez (refer to previous post)

The Song of Jabez

Was listening to this song today while doing my work in office. Nice song. The song came from 1 Chronicles 4: 10

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

O Lord, bless me indeed... enlarge my territory....

The Song of Jabez- Paul Baloche

Lord that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory
That Your hand would be with me
And You would keep my heart from evil
Amen

Bless me, Lord, Bless me, Lord
So that I might be a blessing to this world

Mom-In-Law is back!!!

Yup, my Mother-in-law is back this morning at 2am from her 1.5month trip to Canada. Envy her.... heheheee. Guess she had a good time there. She put on a little weight liao. Now life at home seems back to "normal". In a good way i meant. Today my hubby commented that he had not been reading "Todays" for a long time.... Mom had always been the one to pick up a copy for him whenever she goes for her daily morning walk. As for me.... long time no one prep breakfast for me liao (sometime hubby will prep).... so guess she'll prep my breakfast again! Thank God for a mother-in-law like her.

Those that visited my home recently will know how dirty my home floor is.... long long time never mop (since mom away...heee).... was frantically cleaning the house after we came home from church... haywire. Now Mom is back so I better put in more effort to keep the house in order and not take it for granted that she'll do it. ITS MY JOB!!! Better wake up my idea liao....

Want to thank God for yesterday worship session. I was so nervous... so nervous. Thank God for putting away my fears. So fun and happy to praise God.... I love be in Your Presence, with Your people singing praises.....

Now trying to read "Mere Christianity" from CS Lewis. First chapter makes my head spin.... think I'm not use to the writing style of the author.... should i continue to read? Maybe i try a bit more....

Think i'll learn from Anna to do book review...

Mercy and Grace

Owe this to Jasmine... promised to find out about the differences between Mercy and Grace but so long still never check it up.... so sorry. Remember Pastor mentioned before but couldn't recall. Was browsing through the web and saw this aritcle http://www.cfdevotionals.org/devpg98/de980610.htm .... find that its short and simple to understand.... the following is a quote from the article....

"Mercy is God's favour that holds back from us what we deserve. Grace is God's favour that gives us what we do not deserve." Rolfe Barnard

Do you agree to it? Or whats your view?
