There is a lot of bad stuff that happens when you don’t forgive. Bitterness, anger, and hurt…just to name a few. But the odd thing is that it all happens to you, not to the person who hurt you. You’re the one who has to walk around with all that stuff inside you, eating you up.
The bottom line is that forgiveness is mostly for you…your health…your peace of mind…and mostly, your relationship with God.

But just because you realize you need to forgive doesn’t mean you’ve suddenly inherited a magic forgiveness prayer, or even the desire to do it. In fact, it’s hard. It’s really hard. Here are some steps:

# Make the decision to forgive, regardless of your feelings. They will eventually catch up with the whole forgiveness concept, but maybe not today.

# Pray that God will give you His Grace to do it. God’s grace is simply His power to do something with ease that you would struggle with if you try to do it on your own.

# Pray for the person who hurt you. Ouch. This is probably the hardest part of the whole concept. But when you pray for that person, God can reach into the situation and work.

# LEAVE the situation and person alone. Don’t try to avenge yourself. Ugh. Yeah right…it would be so much easier if you could just do some awful thing to make them look bad or feel bad or something! Don’t do anything. Let God do what He’s going to do and you focus on moving forward, doing whatever God tells you to do.

I found this comic on http://www.lunchbreakcomics.com/comics.htm So if you’re bored during lunchbreak, you can read them here.

My friend invited me to the opening of her new shop, "iPromise gift house" on the 1st Jan 07. A good start for the brand new year. The shop is just below her house which is actually where her dad’s office & store is. Its at Town East Commercial Centre, Pending Road. Her products and services are hampers, fruit baskets, bouquets, gifts, soft toys and cards.

Not exactly christmas yet but the city was already in the mood for celebration. I get to shop as much as I want…finally. The Busker show was interesting & the visit to Aquaria was worthwhile. Its raining everyday. The bus system is different now & I’m clueless which bus to take. Rely heavily on

KTM & LRT  

to move around.  

I had a strange dream last night. Its so vivid that I must write it down before I forget. So here goes:

In the distant future, the world will be totally destroyed. But years before that, scientists had predicted that day and searched for possible survival options. They’ve found out that the world is made up of a few different dimensions. One of them is the spiritual dimension. Through trials and errors, they realise that majority of the populations does not have strong enough spirits to survive in that dimension.

Finally, they discovered that the digital dimension is the only one that is suitable for human beings. In the old dimension, everything is made up of molecules and atoms. But this digital dimension is made of pixels. Because humans are already very familiar with technology, computers and pixels, we are able to adapt to the new environment easily.

In my dream, billions of people made their transitions into this dimension, converting their wealth and properties into pixels. I was one of them. I wander into the new city. The buildings are still under constructions. I meet familiar people on the street. There’s an open day gathering at a construction site where they are building apartments for each of us. There were food fair, fun fair, entertainment and people everywhere. I can even see people handing out leaflets. I walked to the very end and saw a movie showing on a wall. No need for a screen or projectors. Any surface can be lcd screen.

Everyone seems quite happy to be there. However, there are problems. As I go from one place to another, the time changes quite drastically. I can walk out of a room at 7.30am and enters another at 5.30am. Another problem is that nature is not like how it used to be. I was crossing a bridge to get to another building when I realise that because the bridge is so high up it not only touches the cloud but clouds are stuck onto it. When I walk on it, the clouds feel sticky & muddy under my feet.

But the biggest problem is that we started to halucinate. We don’t have a sense of real existance. I met an aging professor with his pretty young wife one day looking quite happy together and the next day, I was told the professor left her for an equally old man with a limp. People started to behave really weird. Maybe, we’re still new to this place.

Have you notice this natural cat-like tree at Petanak, Kuching? Its by the river opposite Petanak market. I wonder if its man made or really au naturel. Anyway, I think we should direct tourists to this park and sell t-shirts with picture of this cat statue on it with the title "In Cat City even trees looks like cat". Commercialise it as a natural phenomenon. Make some money out of it. Why not, right?

We are all quick to judge others according to our own ideals. I’m just as guilty. But I realise that by judging, LOVE cease to exist between you and the person that you judge. How sad it is to lose a friend while protecting your own pride.

"Judge not, that you be not judged. For
with what judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with the same measure
you use, it will be measured back to you" (Matthew 7:1-2).

"And why do you look at the speck in your
brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye" (Luke 6:41).

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12).

Looking at these photos, I wonder how he could escape unhurt. Well, he told me "Jesus loves me!" I totally agree. I’m thank God that He had protected my hubby.

Here’s Mooncake Festival once again. Sarawak Inter Culture Mooncake Festival Evening is going on at  Carpenter Street and Old Court House(STC). There’s a newly constructed arch as the entrance of the street. Lots of lanterns, mooncakes and food. The cutest mooncakes I’ve seen so far are the piggy mooncakes. There’s also ice lollipops and local delicacies.
