Sustainability...

No matter how capable a person is, or how well organised and effective an organisation is, the risk of a burn-in is very real. Sustainability has to always be a key consideration...

As such, on a personal level, Howard will...

1) Commit to 2 meals a day minimum. No matter how busy or held up he is. 

2) Exercise once a week. Whether gymming or jogging, or circuit training at home. 

3) Clear all urgent back-log work daily so as to ensure peaceful sleep and mind. 

The challenge is to maintain these even during exams and operationally stress periods. 


Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit...

Trust v.2

Nobody will understand how you truly feel. 

If someone ever comes up to you and say, "I understand how you feel", he's lying. 

Only God truly understands. 

There can be semblance, similarities in circumstances, but life is too multi-faceted for another to have exactly the same life experiences to understand how you feel. 

But that shouldn't stop you from trying to understand and empathise. 

But the fact remains, no one really understands...

Thoughts on Prayer and Giving...Revolution.

At one point, I felt God ask me," Do you really love? If you really love, then you will be willing to give it away." 

Had the 2ND week of morning prayer in the year and it was great to start the day of with God. Feel more attuned and encouraged that you start the day right and early. Amazing that motivation can cause people to be consistently discipline for a whole week to wake up early. We all need that motivation daily, and perhaps we can wake up at 5.30am everyday to pray. 

Some thought about prayer; 

You see people praying lightly, opening up their eyes, and lightly distracted.  Yet others in intense concentration, in a focused state. What's the difference? Maybe this can explain:

Burden X Degree of Release = Depth of Prayer

Perhaps why some people don't pray as intently is because they don't, or don't want to, experience as much burdens. It's the same as when you feel everything is okay, praise and worship songs are less appealing, and is equated to secular songs with nice tunes. Yet when burdened, songs about God takes on a whole difference dimension and meaning to your situation. What's the difference? Burden. 
Burden doesn't mean deep prayer. One has to have the motivation, love, or Degree of Release to see his or her burden lifted or situation changed. How much do you want what you want? Depth of prayer is a magnification of how much you want your burden's to be lifted and changed. "...The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." (James 5:16) Burden in the heart (righteous man) X Degree of Release (fervent prayer) = lifting off of burdens (avails much) 

The other permutations are congruent. 

Burden = Depth of Prayer / Degree of Release

When one divides his depth of prayer among his degree of release, and is not focused. If we equate Depth of Prayer to time, taking into consideration that intent prayer takes time, then it can be seen that when time is divided into smaller chunks among your Degree of Release, it will increase your burden. But this increase does not equate to greater prayer life per se, it just increases the feeling of burden. To not pray is to not deal with burdens. To pray not equal to the degree of release increases the feeling of being burdened, because it is not adequately dealt with, as "hope deferred makes the heart sick."

Degree of Release = Depth of Prayer / Burden

To spread out and water your Depth of Prayer (Time, intensity etc.) on your burden(s) will cause a greater Degree of Release. This is evident on the surface level; by spending time and intent on praying over your burdens, you get your burdens lifted, because God answers our consistent prayers and "seeks to meet our every request". Yet on a deeper level, the more you lay your Depth of Prayer over your Burden(s), the more you will increase your motivation and love (Degree of Release, the relation has been established in point 1) to pray, and as one factor increases, you will see a proportionate increase in the line factors in the same equations; Depth of Prayer and interestingly, burden will also increase proportionately. Because as you "...give, and it shall be given back on to you..." and God will give His burden on those that can handle it. 

" Do you really love? If you really love, then you will be willing to give it away." God never hordes, but He is a giver. As long as we say, "I can't do without this" other than God, then you don't really love it. To give away, is the greatest expression of love. We need to give our lives and time to pray and seek the only person we can't live or do without, that is God. That is truly loving our lives and time, because we make right use with it, giving. The hording and fear of lost of money brought us the recent financial crisis. To love time is not to keep it, but to give your time away. The way to healing, and true love, is all in the giving. 

Let us bring a Giving Revolution! Give like you have never given before! 

It is only right.

My first re-count blog post...try this style of writing...

2nd of April 2009, Drawoh's Journal. 

The sky was dark, with a looming break of sunlight. How queer. Was indoors praying while the Sun creeped up on the world. At least he is consistent. Going indoors, dark. Prayed. Open curtains. Sunlight. Walked out warm. Smile on face. Happy friends are at Jurong. Oh well. Found other happy friends to have breakfast with. Yvonne, Yen, Pauline and Boon Kiat with Mcdonalds. Sinful Hotcakes with sausage. I can afford it. 55 kg and still counting. 60. 

Sat along AS1 studying with Amanda Faith. After talking, she seems happier. That made me happy. Serene surprised me with a can of my favourite drink. Smile. Lessons had Amanda soon. Serene re-appeared with waffles. Smiled but half. I don't eat waffles. They are my favourite. But I'm allergic to waffles, for now. Just like how I am semi-allergic to Pedro shoes. Long story. Ask the flying dragon. Decline but thanked her. 

Invited my professor to Easter. Said he was the Anti-Christ. Not as The Person, but embodying the qualities of. Slaps head. Blows air out of puffed cheeks. Sat bus 151 with him. Talking about theology and comics. Fun. He writes and publishes papers on theology but does not think whether God really exist matters. Tough. Happy that the bus went nearer and nearer to my house. Alas! It missed my house and continued on to the horizon. Decided to be adventurous and moved on. Landed up at Hougang Ave 3. Why do I always end up at Hougang when I let fate lead me?

  
Favourite place in the world now. 
At the back of the bus.
Own world.
Revelation. 
Thinking.
Solitude.
Alone.

Wisdom from Men

Had talks with my two male mentors yesterday and got wisdom and insights about life and being a man; (in a highly paraphrased fashion)

"Be ruthless to self! If one cannot handle his own emotions, one cannot handle his life and definately not other people's."

"When you're hit left, right and center, the Devil must be very nervous. Breakthrough is coming, big time breakthrough."


Think Christ-mindset, not world sub-set
