Pressing the RESET BUTTON


In order to arrive at what you are not,
You must go through the way in which you are not.


T.S. Eliot


"Youth Ministry" has pressed the RESET BUTTON
"My Life" has pressed the RESET BUTTON
There is something about going back to the beginning and with the history of "if only" carrying around the cervix of your brain. The feeling is
SUCKY.

All this listed above besides the overage young people leading them will be formulated together with the adults real soon. The total number of young people actually attending is supposedly 60+ a fair drop from 80. We are combining together with adults but still having the youth cell groups, we are basically going back to the fundamentals or rather bare essentials of a youth ministry. It is really saddening but in order to give more vibrancy to a pheonix, it must die before rising from ashes, just like Jesus making everything NEW in HIS world.

What kingdom perspective must we adopt for it to work in the coming months...only time and decisions will tell. All is new...work done in the past serve only as reminders of what can do and not do. We ought to be wiser and not say let's forget about it, unless what Danny says come to pass.

Quote Danny "Perhaps we aren't destined to be a great youth ministry"

Theatre. A familarity that breeds a communion that is so strong, it seems attached to my very soul which God packaged it up together with me before the foundations for time. For a season it was flourishing and I gave it all up to pursue a certain passion that closes its doors on me. Not my fault but not my timing perhaps. If I say I am not disappointed I am lying. The one thing I am good at and I turn my back on it. David uses what he knows and not what people put on him.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Ian is going back to what he turned his back on. On the wings that God has placed on his talent to bring him the freedom of creativity that has no bounds. He is to use it and grow it. Though it may not start out that glamourously, however the humility in bred with him at the start of this journey is strong within the spine of his whole being. God I am ready for the arts, allow me to explode only to serve You and allow others to see the magnitude of favor You have put in me.

For now, I am just getting to know that familarity and it was good. Getting better and better each time. I have pressed the reset button but I know what it will bring definitely. I will sweep the floors of the stage I will act in.

Ian will perform end April 07 in a small role in NOTHING by Cake Theatrical Productions and also in June 07 for ARTSFEST "1000 Different Things"

People VS Ian - Weight Loss Program

Satan went into Angela's weighing machine one day and got me a 78kg reading. How can that be?

It is GROSS
It is DISGUSTING
It is EMBARRASSING
It is HILARIOUS
It is NOT IAN

Some people say "Hey you just got to love yourself, I mean all this outer beauty is so shallow, INNER BEAUTY is the new OUTER BEAUTY" Easier said than done. I feel like i need liposuction...the scissors is a few feet away...maybe I could just cut my fats and just bleed to death hmmm [Ian contemplates] PLEASE!!! I just need to be responsible for my diet and exercise from now on.

- No food after 9pm
- No Chocolate treats
- No nice and crispy Potato Chips

Everyone is laughing at me, talk about my man boobs and pot belly. Now I know how Sharon Carpenter felt when a reporter told her that she look "chubby" and all hell break loose to have her dying to anorexic condition. However I will not fall into that trap because I am in control and focus on a image. An image that will carry me far, having me fit and not lacklustre. I am not shallow but I am a representation of who I am really. Inside to the outside, so to all those people out there who call me FAT and chubby, well, GOD will avenge for me, just you wait!

I will shed KGs like I have never done before...10 kg here I come!

Easter is SERVED!

today's special is the resurrected brown shoes of Chin Teck and the ever fashion failure on our worship presentation. I am not just a worshipping Christian, or I got nothing better to do but to observe and critique. If this blogging can make a difference then let it be so as the excellence in me wants relevancy and today's cutting edge design and aesthethics to be placed full fledge on stage in performance with our worship that God craves [If I may say so].

today's drama was extremely "TACKY" you cannot help but to cringe at times from the lack of controlled emo of the individual characters that the actors portrays. However the script or the original intent of the play was strong and evident as it proves to be the thread along the main body and transitions of the play. It was the saving grace. Much to think about was the juxta-positioning of the stories that weaves almost into a polar opposites which mirrors the two main cast. Overall it was an okay performance. I give it 2/5 stars but hey...it is only my opinion. Oh ya Huiping did extremely wonderful, I think she out did herself...the rest guess what? It is a great start to a drama ministry's birth.

dead was the answer to a RESURRECTED CHRIST today at local youth service at paya lebar. The air and time actually stood still for me to contemplate during sermon time that our young people have join the dark side. I heard the *ring* from machines for the very first time.

Preaching to today's crowd was like

1) Kicking a cow that refuses to budge.
2) Talking the dog to meow like a cat.
3) Planting mango trees when you want durian.
4) CPRing a person dead like weeks ago.
5) Squeezing out the last bit of Colgate with all of your strength.

That was how it felt. My msg was about the "Forsaken Worm" that we are that Christ chose to be so that we in turn will take on the later transformation which is of a butterfly. What a message it was...perhaps...but I guess God heard it and He was pleased as I sincerely gave it all. The room was just too cold, too alone, too numb to even feel for anyting anymore. POWER, PURITY and PRAYER??? i think they all went out for a walk and forgot to come back.

How God? Today you have the tomb empty, tomorrow you will have us revived to a state which is pleasing before you. I ask for a personal resurrection from what we think is dead inside us...sigh!

Talk more tomorrow. I think I will start writing reviews on movies, some ppl actually like my reviews so I'll give it to them. Take care :)
out of the amazon, the amazon women...
