The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in vain

By now you can actually guage that my favourite subject for the year would be Jurisprudence. Why? probably is because the beauty of the subject matter. All my time use to discover what was this subject trying to tell me. For I do not know much.

Yup I do not know much and yet the Lord has encourage me by giving me a chance to serve my Sisters in my small group. I had a tough time thinking of what can I do for them and how we can grow together.

However, time just does not permits me to go further. I'm stepping down and shall pass my responsibility over to my new small group leader. I'm learning to understand that my Lord has not put my work in vain and I believe he love each one in my group to give them a better leader who can be there to serve them.

Dennon tought me submission today and the reason to submit. If my Lord is my Shepherd I shall not be in want I shall follow and submit to what he wants me to be. I'm sad that I can't do everything as I wanted to but I'm happy that I can do what the Lord intend for. So by now I'm almost ready to surrender. Almost ready? :) nope I'm ready to surrender for by his will I'm ready to be lead.

Grace said sometimes is good to step down and evaluate where went wrong. Ya for us to do great things we shall be ready to do small things. When I think about my mum about what she had done for the family I often think of the money she saved for my studies, the hardwork of her youth and how she encourages and gave me comfort when I fail in my exam.

Often times I forgot the small thing she did like washing tons of my cloths, cooking and preparing my meals, be a listening ear for me. So definately she is a woman worthy to be praise. Since I'm not called only to do big things, I'm ready to do the smaller one.

Proverbs 31:30:
30Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. 31Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

So farewell to Leadership and beginning of servanthood. Thanks also for all the encouragement.

Love,
Eve

Logical Positivism

Yesterday Mr Paul Linus in his Jurisprudential class lecture introduces to us the birth of Legal Logical Positivism in the United Kingdom. Before he go into the subject matter proper he offers us a defination of what positivistism is.

What in the world is this defination for? I'm in the mids of confusion and emotionaly not able to comprehend such a defination. However, there are something real amazing about this area of law. Like everyone else I'm more interested as to who John Austin is than what he wrotes.

So while I'm blogging this you might be more interested as to who am I then what I wrote right? I describe John Austin as a man with no great achievement in life. I would say he failed badly in all things he do " sounded too much like a mocking to his life while he is on earth" I must qualified my self this is by Paul Linus...So sue him for defamation :)

Yup it is true! So believe it or not you can be famous for your failure! He was nevertheless said to be a very intelligent man with great dreams and all his thoughts and work on the jusrisprudential aspect has been paid much tribune too.

Sadly his wife has an affair while he is seriuosly ill, he only manage to keep 5 student in his class and even so, they are now our modern philosopher who critisizes his works. He was called to the bar to serve for his great piece of judicial opinions however, as a result of the depression he has he left the Bar after 5 years. So he is so much so a man with no Career and he was said to be a perfectionist that has never able to achieve his prefection.

So misserable. I thought to my self what has motivate him in going through his life? His wife? No definately not. His Career? Not as well. He ends his life with much sadness and all his scripts of Jurisprudential was then published and was found to be of great deep thoughts. He is a malancholy who has gone to extreme in life, there is no fulfillment and his expression of words has now become a stress for the Law student.

I however were of the opinion that this man is worth to be discover of. Sadden by his life but have wisdom on his words. Don't you feel that in our life only when we are so sad, so directionless, so weak that we see things clearer than ever? I'm not John Austin of course am not a malancholy either. I develope the sence of only God can fill reliance when bad things does happened.

What do you felt?

Achievers



I received this encouragement from Irene. I hope this will be an encouragement for you as well.

Often times we might feel very helpless and hopeless be it in our Career, in our studies, our family, our friends and whatever you want to achieve. There are times you have given your best but you still fail. You fall badly from past experience and now you no longer believe that you can do great.

You believe that " That is God's will for you ". True in a sense that God allow you and I to go through that for us to learn and be a stronger person in return. It is also a process we learn to lean on God's strength instead of our own. Having stated that God does not and never intend for us to fail in life. Especially we are his disciple.

We are to be his living testimony and shall shine no matter what is the result may turn out to be. So in that sense we are battling between shining and failing. Failing does'nt however mean that we can't shine, it is the first step to success, no one go through success without failing. We need to make the first step and God will lead us through the rest.

Of course failling in exam is one of the thing I hated the most, but only from failing I learn to remedy what and where I have gone wrong. I learn to evaluate the time spent and the effort I have put in. I learn to set up small goals and reach my objective, I learn of course to be more prayerful and rely on God. I learn to do the impossible when everyone seems to argue that I am too stubborn.

I see the need of passing my papers more than anyone can feel for me. and now I am writing this as an encouragement for you to believe that you can do all things when God is giving you strength.

So if you are feeling "Blue" dont worry trust me our God will not put you in Shame. He'll give you strength and guidance in whatever you do. We just got to have Faith and it really does able to move mountains.

So I'm now in my finals and I'm going to reap what I sow. I shall leave to God what he thinks best for me. I believe his plan is good, I just pray that I could enter into a firm and work my way up. God never fails those who love him!

Cheers! God Bless

Why People Get Bored?

As I'm writing that title Roger gave me, I felt Boredom part 2. iiiii

ROGER says: hope all the bored ppl in the world will hv hope after read ur blog.


So here is the solution.

1. Bored your friend
Practicals:

enlk81: I'm bored
enlk81: I feel like going home now
enlk81: please tell me story
danielfck: once a upon a time
danielfck: there is a girl who is bored
danielfck: and she kept on bugging everyone with a statement "i am bored" to whoever and everyone online
danielfck: and she bugged

danielfck: (CRY)
enlk81: h ahahahaha

so first solution is to bug people until they cry : Mission accomplished.

Worse Thing Could Happen

I'm thinking twice to put this up. I might fear my reader or I would gain some attention from them. So I definately in my right mind would think it would be a challenge for you to know I am who I am. I have decided to put this up.

---------------------------------

If I can freely express how I felt I would want to shout out loud and say I'm extremely bored with things. Finally it is out, I'm bored I needed some excitement in life. If I could only put down everything and go somewhere I'll be packing my stuff and spent all my money and then start everything again or at least don't have to worry about all the mess here and schedule to catch. I sometimes felt like a ROBOT everything has been programmed as it is. Since that was so so unrealistic and quite impossible where the mind says go but the heart says stay I have to accept things as it is.

So since I have to face it and can't run away from it, I could only raise my white flag. I'll go for Class, I'll go to church, I'll go for Bible study, I'll go for evangelism, I'll go hang out, I'll go for dates, I'll go to work and do things as it is.

Before you rebuke me. Let me say my last word " I'm bored " I'm in a state that I can't take boredom and routine anymore. You gonna tell me this very word
"Perservere" I've been learning hard to define this and re-define it by the power of reasoning God gave me as what was stated by Thomas Aquinas.

I shall get back to my Jurisprudence assignments before Sunday Class...Oh God...The worse thing could happen is being irresponsible. I definately do not want this, God spare me from all this boredom of writting darn tough essays...

I need some self motivation. I'll read the " Magic book " .......I need some extra boost of drugs to put me to sleep........Before being charged for possession of illegal drugs I shall confess ( Company Law ) is putting me off....Can someone explain this?

Time is Sufficient for Everything

Class has just started for 2 Weeks. At the meantime there are so many things and responsibility on hand that I need to get it done with. Still haven't start studying real hard bit here and there.

I have been traveling quite a bit. Last month I 've been traveling back to Ipoh on the Third week and the Forth week to Johor and to Singapore for a day tour. Arriving Kl and went for date. Then finally the week after result was released.

First week of September to Grandma's place and Start Class on 2nd week of September. Preparing registration fees, sending my result of final PTPTN approval. Last Sunday went back to Ipoh again for a day trip to get my parent's Passport and documents for Canada VISA application, getting my eldest Bro to wire in money and invitation letter for their air tickets. Oh Gosh...!! I need some peace of mind...

So having all that I finally get all things done today.I work till 2pm, run down to look for Alex to print out my Dad's travel itinerary, took out money from ATM and go to the Alliance Bank to prepare Bank Draft for Canadian High Commission VISA fees. Stop a cab to Canada Embassy submit my Parent's Visa application and back to office at 3.30pm. Amazing! I'm getting all things done in 2hours.

So I'm taking a breather now and having my lunch in the office and chatting with my Boss. Tonite have to go home and prepare for tomorrow class and work out the study method for Chui Leng's Law paper for her. Hopefully if class finishes early I can go to church to pass her syllabus back to her.

So when I go to rest tonite I got to get back on my knees to Thank God for everything, every solution, every prayer answered, every challenges, every blessing. He've definitely provide sufficiently for me.

1 Chronicles 16:11 [Ps 24:6]Seek the LORD and His strength;Seek His face continually.
