The new Apple Macbook
I can't believe it ... I'm supposed to be occupied with many things - Church Operations, Youth ministry, Creative Arts Ministry, Freelance teaching, Freelance Sound engineering ..... but something keeps bugging me almost every free (and busy) moment ...
I WANT AN APPLE MACBOOK PRO!!
I've got so many reasons for needing one.
Going through the 30 day rule now - wait 30 days before you buy something to minimise impulse buys .... Well, I've wanted a Macbook since forever, but the new Macbook was only released on Oct 14, so to be fair to my wallet, I'll wait another 19 days .....
I guess I already know what the answer will be ..... oh well ... a Christmas present for myself maybe?? haha ...

Time of Testing
I guess it's a time of testing ... time to re-aligning my focus ... time where no one else understands except God ... time where I gotta listen and do what He says ... time where the following words take on a new meaning ...
Faith
Humility
Patience
Faithfulness
Submission
These words never carried more weight than now ...
2 Obey the king's command, I say, because you took an oath before God. 3 Do not be in a hurry to leave the king's presence. Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases. 4 Since a king's word is supreme, who can say to him, "What are you doing?"
5 Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm,
and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.
6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter,
though a man's misery weighs heavily upon him.
7 Since no man knows the future,
who can tell him what is to come?

Ecclesiastes 8:2-7
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.

5 Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy.
will reap with songs of joy.
6 He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.
Psalms 126:5-6

I'm about 1500m above sea level now, marvelling at God's creation. I was just telling my mum, how can anyone live here and not believe there's a God? If anyone's wondering, try looking for me on Google Earth, my location according to my phone is ..... ok, just went out to get a GPS reading and it's totally fogged out. Visibly about 30m :) try searching for Mount Kinabalu Heritage Resort & Spa. Or a place called Kundasang.
Anyway, everytime I travel is a time for me to think and re-align my life. This trip is no different. Will probably post more when i get to use a proper computer, i'm like typing a really long sms on my phone now.
Oh, btw, to everyone, check out the new MacBook Pro on e Apple website! :)
