Hey guys... dunnoe if u guys remembered this email tat Sze Yong sent us... well... i decided to post it here so tat everyone could read it...
LET THE WISE LISTEN AND ADD TO THEIR LEARNING. (PROVERBS 1:5 NIV)
Here are three reasons why personal growth should matter to you:
(1) Talent without personal growth limits your future!
Albert Schweitzer said, 'The secret of success is to go through life as someone who never gets used up'. But how do you do that? The answer lies in how you approach talent. If you draw on your talent but never sharpen it, you won't get very far, because nobody's that talented. But when you take the time to sharpen your skills and develop your character, God can call on you at a moment's notice.
(2) Personal growth prevents stagnation.
Do you feel stuck spiritually, relationally, career-wise or at home? You won't get unstuck by making external changes: looking for a different job, leaving your marriage partner and family, or changing churches. The truth is, nobody's keeping you down but yourself. The lid on your life - is you! In order to accomplish more, you've got to grow more. So if you're serious about getting unstuck, stop looking for quick fixes, take a long hard look at yourself, accept responsibility for what you see, pray, then decide to do something about it.
(3) Personal growth guarantees success!
The Tartar tribes of central Asia used a particular curse against their enemies. They didn't call for their swords to rust or their people to die of disease. No, they said, 'May you stay in one place forever'. Wow! If you don't work every day on improving yourself, that will be your fate. You'll end up stuck in the same place, doing the same things, dreaming the same dreams but never getting anywhere!

i wanna be ANGSANA tree...
hee! *curtsey x2*
hoping more ppl can give curtsey too... hee!
anyway... if i get to choose the type of tree i wanna be the tree that bears ANGSANA.. it's actually known as the Burmese Rosewood... think everyone noes what's this fruit since primary school...coz it's the very first fruit that i learnt when i was trying to accomplish my botanist scientist badge... (if we were in the same era...haha!)
coming back to this... why ANGSANA... hmm...coz...
1) it's a valuable timber which is a hardwood, termite resistant and rose scented...
2) the flowers act as honey source, leaves infusion are used as shampoos and both of them can also be eaten..
3) the entire tree can also be used as an ornament or shade for people...
4) in folk medicine... this tree act as a combat for tumours...
5) the fruit may not be very big but it's enabled with 'wings' that can fly to different places to be planted and grow...
hee! now u noe why...

sud-sud tree
Wah....good one Fio!
I wanna be a GIANT SEQUOIA.
One of the oldest, strongest and stoutest trees in the world, even though they start from seeds the size of grains of wheat.
I saw these trees in person when I was in Lake Tahoe 16 years ago ... took 6 of us to wrap our arms around one tree trunk!
Interesting fact: They are also the fastest growing trees in the world.
Run a search on google and you'll see for yourself. :P
Wanna aim, might as well aim high huh? :)

W356
it's me again... (^_^)
last nite we were having prayer meeting during our cell group meeting... something came across... that is...
wat does W356 means...
then it came to me that... what does W stands for??? worry??? weak???? NO!!!
W to me stands for Warrior... and this Warrior is not just a Prayer Warrior that i put in our blog, not only a Soul Winning Warrior but a Warrior in All for God... we fight for Him and He with us whenever we need to fight against till the very end... and we need not worry for He is there always and we will never be weak for we do things through His strength and not on our own ability...
and that leads to 356...
356... Proverbs 3:5-6... Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understand; in all your ways ackowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths... (think this is Jialing's favourite verse and a verse that encourages all us)...
like what Sharon had said last nite... (Jeremiah 17:7-8)do not give up when the heat comes... do not give up or turn away from the problems, obstacles and difficulties... let's not be anxious, fear or shakened!! TRUST HIM!! Be rooted into Him!!! Irene saw a vision where there are many young trees (W356 Members) that are planted along the river but yet to be rooted... let's remember to stay by the river ... be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.. let the Holy Spirit guide you...
we will just be like a tree... planted in W356 by God... rooted to God's word... growing up to a strong and healthy tree and this healthy tree will be able to serve and fufil a great purpose and commission... giving shade, fruit and resources to all mankind and bringing glory to the one WHO planted us...
Amen...
