Lastly, the busy me have time with Yiting and Joycelyn ((: I love you girls. The best bday present wasn't the ear piece but seeing you 2 back on fire radical for God, seeing a passion in your eyes again. Seeing the love of God through you guys. That was the best because I have been praying for you guys. (:

Above all else, thank you God.

Jamie preached an awesome bible study to be more Christ-like is to have MORE love, MORE faith and MORE hope.

I maybe 21, but I tell myself I am not going to be cynical, I am not going to lose faith.

I am going to love even more and this is the best years of my life and this is what I am going to run with.

Now you know why I say I am so loved and love my life.

And why love don't have to be complicated.

But, it is the most simple joy in my life. (:

Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or a mistake, but you’re not supposed to question adults, or your coach, or your teacher because they make the rules. Maybe they know best but maybe they don’t. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn’t at least one of the six hundred guys think about giving up and joining with the other side? I mean, Valley of Death, that’s pretty salty stuff. That’s why courage is tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you’re doing something. I mean, any fool can have courage. But honor, that’s the real reason you either do something or you don’t. It’s who you want to be. If you die trying for something important then you have both honor and courage and that’s pretty good. I think that’s what the writer was saying; that you should try for courage and hope for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some, too.

Each time, I looked at the Cross,

I told myself no matter what I cannot walk away.

I thought of how I used to be in the past,

I am ashamed and I know I can no longer look back.

I have burnt all my bridges.

People call it foolishness.

Yea, I do not deny.

There were so many costs to pay and sometimes no ambition to hold onto to the sacrifice.

Looking back the 21 years of my life, I would say this is really the best years of my life and I never regret.

I feel so privileged.

Thank You, God.

One friend told me that 21st birthday need to be planned properly

because it showed how you are going to approach adulthood.

It makes me ponder that hey perhaps I want to have a big birthday celebration.

However, I know this is not what I want to.

Because big birthday celebration does not make you happy,

it is knowing yourself, what you want, and what you are able to achieve.

It is being secure of yourself.

And I know I am secure of myself and my destiny in God.

Thanks Weiling for the enlightenment: it all goes back to the Cross.

By having the courage to be yourself, u put something wonderful in the world that was not there before. (Sun)

Loving people, it got to leave space for being hurt. (Cherie)

They ask me for new year resolutions.

There are 2 things that came to my mind.

1) Train up leaders!

It has always been an area of leadership I am struggling and I want to breakthrough. I have the best people in my team. It may be small but it is a powerful team. 5 people can change the world. I believe. No doubts.

It is better to be a king-maker than to be king.

Now, I am tasting the statement.

2) Trust God!

When you do not see his Hand, trust His heart.

Definitely, I need more and more.

Esp when you are 21 and walking into the best years of your life, your life is no longer as well-defined as before. The more you got to trust God to walk into the destiny of your life.

Haha. Clarrie has 3D and I have 2T. ;p!
