Typed a whole chunk but deleted it. Instead, here's some food for thought. You are what you eat. Think about that.

Sometimes we fall, and we fall down very hard. Yesterday something pretty bad happened, and I learnt how one simple mistake can cost a person so much. Worse still it can pull your team down with you. But thank God, I was the only one who was affected. I can't imagine what would happen if my team was pulled down with me. I just can't. But whatever, at the end of the day, it's up to you to decide whether you want to get back up, or remain on the ground. For me? I chose to move on.

Choices. Decisions. We make them everyday, without a second thought. Oftentimes we take them for granted. It's time to open my eyes and begin to see the value and the weight in which I make my choices. They are powerful. One of the most powerful things God gave to us, was the power to choose.

I just pulled open the window blinds. So much light flooded in. Lovely. Such a beautiful and windy day.  This is the day that the LORD has made!

Matthew 6:23 (The Message)

"Your eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar. If you pull the blinds on your windows, what a dark life you will have!

Isn't it better to trust, even though knowing sometimes you'll get hurt, than to not trust at all? Open your eyes and see what's out there.

Yassy shared some awesome stuff from 2 Kings about Elisha following his master Elijah from Gilgal all the way to when Elijah was taken up. Yea and personally, I think I'm somewhere in Jericho right now, and I need to move on XD! Yea, true, I've had success and all of you have praised me from time to time, so back when I was beginning to be successful, I didn't want to stay in Gilgal, I wanted something more.


That led me to have my own revelation about well, why what I'm doing is so important. 1.It is all for God, no doubt. 2. Photog and publications are like, you know, one of the frontline ministries. If all we have is a flyer for bulletin, or pics that are no good, we've already lost like half the battle. They probably won't come. Yea, so it's now also my personal conviction to make sure that when I shoot or design, I always want to do it excellently, and also of course, turn to God for inspiration and all that. 


I mean, it's lives out there man. I want to make sure that I shoot and design so well(and i'm still working to the day when my shots can carry the presence of God =D) to bring as many people to church as possible. If I'm not giving pastors and God my best, how am I gonna support pastors and everyone else if people are gonna be turned off by bad pictures or designs? Worse still, what am I gonna tell God? 


And also so many times, I've lost count of how many times God has just helped me, led me and come through for me. I tell you the truth, my talent in shooting and designing is really just so-so. All the great shots I've shot, it's all God man. Everytime I'm shooting, it may seem that I know what to shoot, but many times I look back after a service/event and I ask myself how I could even get these shots. I mean, normally, I wouldn't be able to get them at all! It's just so God! 


Yea, and so with this vision and revelation, I continued on, from Bethel, running, running. The journey was not smooth, and there were many ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and the mundane(oh yes the mundane), but all these have helped me to grow, and strengthened me.


Now, today, after joining the ministry about 1 and a half years ago, I'm now at Jericho, seeing so many things God has done for me, revealed to me, and I've really come so far. I also want to thank everyone who has helped me along with my journey; I wouldn't be here without all of you guys as well! But the journey's just started, and I'm content, but not satisfied with where I am. I want to move on, keep going towards the Jordan, and do more things and keep growing.Lasting the gap amen?  At the end of the day, when all the hype, all the excitement dies down, when nothing seems to be happening, nothing seems to be working, I will still be here, serving God, building His House, running towards the goal that is God.
