Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me

When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation

Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender

Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Child Of God
The HSF family!
God Lovers!

Hey everybody! I've something to announce!!

I am 9 months old today! Yeah!! =)


-4:58 PM

Hi all, just replying on what my bro said on being a spiritual orphan... I feel that I used to be one because... I had jumped a lot of cell groups and stuff like that. And I didn't think that I recognised my spiritual father and that is what made me write that short sentence which made many ponder.

As far as you know, I am now under Samuel Wong and he is a great spiritual father. And you all know how good he is. And I was under Lawrence and Stanley in the past years and they were awesome too. Just want to let you know, I am no longer a spiritual orphan. Not any more now...

I thank Yong Howe to urge me to post this. Because it made me release all pressure and stuff like that. I thank him also for organising all the activities and make us happy. And Sunday is the games day!

8.30 at NYJC and bring stuff for changing and shower stuff and any thing you need to bring. And most importantly you Bible. If you are going straight to Expo. Which I am. Thank Alvin for organising this time.

Thank God.
Jason

Stanley:

Dear all

This is my humble first post. First and foremost, I thank God for the privilege of being the father of baby Jireh. I learned many lessons about our Father God through just taking care of him. At times, when I hugged Jireh, I felt God hugging me too. At other times, when I need to withhold certain things from him or discipline him, I understood God's perspective in a manner that I never could before. When I have to act silly just to make him smile or laugh, I could sense how God sometimes does that too. When he returns with a giggle, my heart delights. I am sure God would too. When I have to clean up his vomit or motion, I saw how God have to clean up the messes that we created. When his cries of 'Papa' melt my heart, I know our cries to our Abba Father melts His.

The above may not connect with many of you cause you do not experience it. My prayer is that you will have a great awareness of our Father's love when your time as parents come.

I named my boy Jireh because I was inspired by Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his own son to God. In turn, God sent his own son, Jesus to die for our sins. God provided a sacrifice for Abraham, he provides Jesus, the sacrificial lamb for us today, on top of other spiritual and material blessings. That is the true meaning of 'Jireh' - 'The Lord Provides'. May you be blessed during this season of remembering Christ's death and resurrection.

Abraham understood that Isaac belonged to God. Charlotte Mason wrote in 1862, "Truly parents are happy people - to have God's children lent to them... I love my children dearly."

I love Jireh dearly. Our Father in Heaven loves us even more...

Two young children were passionately, obliviously building a castle on the sands of the beach. Their faces exudes intense concentration and they painstakingly worked hand in hand to erect the layers gradually by gradually. Suddenly, without caution, a huge wave washed up the shore and all was left behind was a stump of moist sand. The two glared innocently at the debris of their castle, looked at each other, broke out in hilarious giggles and hand in hand skipped to higher ground to commence on the construction of a new castle; bigger, stronger, better. "All the things in our lives all the complicated structures we spend so much time and energy creating, are built on sand. Only our relationships to other people endure. Sooner or later, the wave will come along and knock down what we have worked so hard to build up. When that happens, only the person who has somenody's hand to hold will be able to laugh."- Kusher

jason: everyone's been thanking you... haha. and i don't think you are a spiritual orphan. the definition of orphan is one who lost one or both his/her parents who is/are dead physically. so 1: you are not an orphan. coz both mama and papa are around. and 2: neither are you a spiritual orphan, because you have a great spiritual father(samuel), grandfather(yonghowe), great grandfather(Ps RO) .... and the list goes on. on top of that you have great people you can turn to anytime for guidance like Ps Vic who has a genuine relationship with you. jason i think there is no need for you hide those feelings in your heart and focus only on the happy things. we can only overcome and conquer when we face straight up to our fears or worries or unhappiness.

each day we live, do we remember to give thanks and celebrate the friendships that we have? to be honest i once thought about the genuinity about the friendships in the tribe and i do get skeptical sometimes like sometimes friendships are so thin we are almost hi-bye friends. and there is always that sense of uneasiness when you see someone whom you obviously know is in your tribe but you just don't know what to say. but by the sheer genuinity of love and sharing and effort that some of our leaders have shown us, i am convinced that we are more than just a hi-bye tribe. and i really do feel bad each time i have been away for an extended period of time, seemingly as if i havent been putting in my share of effort to make this work, i do feel bad. thinking in my bath that society works in a way that requires human beings to give by the sheer fact that they have been given. for example, we would unconditionally raise our children by the fact that we were raised.. people who have been blessed by scholarships in turn give back to society in terms of setting up scholarships... and i believe that for this system to work, we must all give in simply because someone else has given to bless me. :)

in all simplicity, pls do not hesititate to give an extra smile to that not so familiar face in your tribe. pls do not shut one down simply coz they are different. yin huan and I are sooooooo different, and i used to find him arrogant and so did he. but we just clicked and guess what, i came to know of God thru him. God works in many wonderous ways, you'd never know when that ugly friend of yours is going to change your whole #$%^&life.

just had dinner with the CEO of The Right Angle Group. a simple yet great man. and you know this is really what they call the league of extraordinary gentlemen.. he sorta brought me back to living again. and we always do need people in your life to tell you that you are alive don't you?

let's not stop giving thanks for people around us. people whom God has put right beside you at this very moment for a reason. and celebrate.




-12:16 AM

Here is yinhuans cell guys showing some support for this blog! Sorry jason for leaving u alone to update this blog, altho we know u love blogging. Anw we are at our favourite place 'DANIELS house' having fellowship.

daniel: contrary to what jason mentioned on his blog about ribs, he didnt manage to taste any (paiseh sorry haha, although the rest of the guys can testify to the GOODness of my mums home cooked ribs). Its been a good time of catching up with the guys and really doing what we all love-- praising the Lord with our instruments.

chris: i really appreciate this time of cell retreat. It has been a great time with each other and with God. highlight was heart to heart talk 21/3/07 1:40 a.m. learnt alot abt each other! anyway that was what the retreat was intended for in the first place. we recommend this for all cells of hsf.

seth: hello... wow.. this is the first time i'm blogging! haha... well, yes.. these few days over here at daniel's place have been great.. it's gonna be a time i really treasure.. with so little time to spend with my brothers, retreats like this really help us bond la.. sharings, music, xbox, etc...

shi jun: this is our favourite place in the world ... "daniels house" haha actually its our house too la ... anyway this cell retreat has been a real blessing to me and im sure to the other guys ... been having a great 2 days just having fun .. doing the usual stuff.. catching up with the rest.. something that i feel is impt... also discovered some things abt myself and others thanks to yonghowe... all in all a great 2 days

ben: yeah man, all of us had a super time! can tell we are recharged by our queer enthusiasm on this blog for the first time. refreshed, renewed, recharged, yup

ok, all this is actually randomness. k bye


-9:50 AM

If there's nothing that i remember. this would be it!
Was very touched by Daniel Khong's sermon when he share his hear on this message.
You cannot really say that you love God without loving people. How then can we express that we love God? Loving people is like LCD... Love for Christ Displayed. James wrote that faith without deeds is dead. I believe this is one of the message that i toook home in my heart. How about you?
Would you share it with your family here?

Daniel


-11:23 PM

Wah what's your feeling now after G12? For me I am chao ji SHACK! Darn tired... Sian sian sian sian... Very very sian. Sorry lah I can't think of anything else other than the song Lord Of All... I am trying to get it out of my mind now... Samuel Wong counted... Church sang it for 8 times in 3 days!!!

Tired lah... Can't concentrate. But I am very blessed in this conference. Because I am in some of the situations in the conference. Like when pastor asked spiritual orphans to go up. I am an orphan myself. A physical one some more. My dad left. Very sad times actually. And yah forget it lah. I think I am quite an ok person because I keep all these things in my heart and just get on with the joy.

I actually watched The Pursuit Of Happyness on Thursday with Samuel. And I see that guy(Chris Gardner) really going thru bad days. They are not just bad days, in fact they are bad MONTHS. Seriously. What would you do if you were kicked out of your own house and left with the burden of taking care of your son and your wife left? I seriously would want to kill myself if that happens. I know this has nothing to do with church but there's this part of the movie that makes good sense. "You got a dream, go get it yourself." Actually its related to church.

Friday Pastor(?) Daniel Khong preached about love. In 1st Corinthians 13:1-3 basically says that without love, nothing is possible. What do you think? He is a living testimony himself. Just as he said. God led me back to Psalms 116:6 "The LORD protects the simplehearted;when I was in great need, he saved me. " Why did God save us? Partially because we were in great need. But it was mainly because he loves us. The LORD LOVES US. Do you love him?

And during the night worship today people like Fencui took those cards or boards or paper(whatever you think it is) and really it touched my heart again like the breakout party. Those who went up there were LIVING TESTIMONIES. They experienced setbacks but BOUNCED BACK in God's love. If God didn't love us, he would have not sent Jesus to come down. He loves us. Makes sense? Okay now it's your turn to speak your mind. Please support this blog. Don't make it dead again. Haha it was NOT easy to resurrect the blog. Okay have a good night.

Oh and Yong Howe and co. are planning to make a habit of having fun at the end of the month. We are going to have sports like soccer, basketball, Ultimate Frisbee(thats why its not homogenious) and Tennis(another reason why it is not). So have fun and a good day tmr.

"The sound of success is beyond the SPLAT!" Those are the words Mr Kwok says every morning assembly. To me, I have am going through the splat. Doing things of the impossible is NOT IMPOSSIBLE. It is just beyond the ordinary, which many of us are. Another phrase is from the song "Angel in Disguise".


It says, "

I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and i stumbled out of bed and
dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody loves you'

But out on the street it starts to pour
and before i get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me
the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Dont need to look at paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise

I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But i forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea

But out of the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places
Collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatter for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise
Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be next to an angel in disguise

I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new.

I was like... WOW. I recall all those there who were out there caring for those in need. There are many Angels in Disguise in my life. One of them is Yong Howe. The other my brother. And they are those who care for you when you are in times of need.

Take a look at the ordinary. Are there any one that care for you? I can see more than 2 people stated up there who are Angels in Disguise.

Maybe you are sitting right next to an Angel in Disguise... Or maybe you could even be the next Angel in Disguise.

Hey all! Just glad to see that 3 new posts just came rising up in this blog. Haven't seen a post for a long time though. Thank God that there are ppl out there who care about us. And God too.

Today I just felt God reminding me that without him, i was nothing.



-11:12 AM

Dear HSF,

Thank you Lay Leng, Winson, Daniel and Lee Lian for taking time during supper and for those of you who came last night, thank you for sharing the time with each other and seeking God together as a Youthnet family. We are certain you were blessed by God’s word and also through the worship.

The word HSF has taken a whole new meaning for me yesterday morning as I did my QT. The Lord has been impressing upon my heart about the importance of togetherness and a sense of belonging. Hence, last week during family time I shared about:

It is not enough to have faith in God but we need to have faith in each other
It is not enough to belong to God but we must belong to each other
It is only when we see each other by the spirit and focus on what Christ has done and can do in our lives that we learn to see beyond our individual weaknesses, personalities and styles
Hence, we must all be consumed by a love for God and a passion for people – than and only than will we focus on a common call in the great commission and not become petty over our differences because we are more concerned about kingdom perspective

Back to my morning devotion as I listened to Ps Benny Ho’s teaching on how we are created, consecrated, called, commanded to serve God and His people – the Lord reminded me of the time when I came from a small church and how it was not easy to have to serve God in so many functional roles like worship, ushering, publications – preparing bulletins and doing traffic marshalling etc …. How now that I am in a big church like FC – Youthnet, I have unconsciously taken many services and things people do for granted! I sought the Lord and asked Him to search my heart and began to appreciate what I have in Youthnet – starting from the spiritual heritage to the physical facilities etc ……started to appreciate what we have in HSF…..


However, I was just so disturbed in my spirit because the Lord reminded me that HSF not only stands for Heart Serving Family but Heart Seeking Family…I said Oh …. Lord indeed but why remind me about seeking at this point or season of Going Deep…..the answer came in the evening…..Than came the evening when Pastor Eugene talked about going deep in family and in loving one another and how he sees God leading us as a Youthnet family from sanctification to unification. I was particularly blessed when Ps. Yearng Cherng shared about the distinctive differences between friends and family.

§ Friends give us a sense of closeness and fun while
§ Family is all about commitment and being faithful even when things don’t feel right or go the way we want
§ Friends exercise mutual rights while family practice
§ Mutual responsibilities

He continued to highlight that friends would go a long way with us but family goes all the way. Friends do not result in spiritual reproduction but family gives birth to children and multiplies.

I like to think that all of you are committed in HSF & Youthnet and not merely here because you feel a sense of closeness to us or each other.

Thus, the reason for this mail is to update all of you what I sense the Lord wants me to tell all of you. He reminded me that some of you are tired and weary from your own daily battles and also some of you are tired of this church thing and ministry and yet we all must decide whom we serve and why we serve???? BUT the BIGGER question is whom we seek and what we are seeking and why we seek???? Whether we really want to seek the things of God – that we must not only be a Heart Serving Family but a Heart Seeking one…. i.e. we must be willing to seek after God’s heart daily – and I believe this season …He wants us to be grateful for our church, our families and what we have and He wants us to have that commitment to God and to the church …. Henceforth, would you be willing to seek God daily in your QT and also began to make a commitment to the service of God in church becos all the bible studies and learning without service will lead to stagnation and no growth …unless you learn to seek God and serve Him, you will not grow … to seek the things of God is to know what you want to be committed to and what you would die for! Some of you are still struggling to seek God in your daily lives…. Stop the voice that says you can’t becos of work or busyness… seek God and seek Him intentionally….

In closing, be committed to each other and be each other’s keeper and spur each other onto good works in Christ Jesus…hold each other accountable and share what God is doing in your spiritual life – if you have nothing to share or you are dry and can only share other things – than perhaps it is time to examine why…..also when you are not able to come for meetings – I hope you will seek out your fellow brothers and sisters and ask them to fill you in so that we are all on board and aligned in what God is doing.

Have a blessed week and see you on Friday!

-11:01 AM

Dear HSF & those who dare to dream together,

This entry is for all of you.

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of finishing an Ironman Race. I remember vaguely that it was a teenage goal to try an Ironman after I watched an inspiring Ironman series on NBC about the Finishers in Kona Hawaii. To know more about Kona, Hawaii, you can read Sebastian’s Blog “SELAH” @ http://sebastianteo.blogspot.com/
There, you will find true inspiring stories about men and women and the reason why they race. As I grew older, I moved on from different sports but always knew that an endurance sport was God’s gift to my life. Hence, I hung up my rock climbing shoes in 2004 and went out with my running and cycling shoes. However, swimming was never my cup of tea. I never swam 20 laps of Freestyle non-stop until January 2007. I started swimming breaststroke when I was young and started re-learning Freestyle in 2006. That’s the reason why I am slow to begin my triathlon journey. Here’s a brief history:

OSIM 2004 – First Tri Experience (Sprint Distance)
OSIM 2005 - ------ Registered but did not participate due to ministry commitment
OSIM 2006 – First Short-course (Olympic Distance)
Port Dickson – Second Short-course (Olympic Distance)
East Coast Park – NUS Long Distance Tri
Ironman Langkawi – First Long Course

So how does it feel now that you have completed the IM?

I’M thankful! I really can’t say that there was a highlight in the whole experience because everything was a highlight! The pre-race, during and post-race emotions and thoughts were all wonderful journal entries and there are so many lessons to learn and draw from the entire Ironman journey. I guess that’s why people do it because to do an Ironman is something more than yourself – it is not the race but the experiences your draw from the journey through each leg of the course.

Was there a scariest moment during the race?

Well, it is not the heat [34 -34 Degrees Celsius] but rather coming down the hills after you have laboriously climbed it – yes, coming down at 65 -70 km / h with the kids by the side of the road trying to pick water bottles and vehicles on the other side climbing slowly up the hill. To me, I felt a sense that I had no control and could only pray as I went swooping down in my aero-dynamic position.

Many people were concerned that you had some problems, especially Shirley who has been waiting anxiously for you. Was there a point you thought you would not finish?

Oh …. I guess Shirley was worried and that’s normal now …. Haha because she will see Sebas finish followed by Jacyln and I will be the last of the 3 in that order. I wasn’t worried that I couldn’t finish the race because I could hear the words of encouragement by many of my friends and family back in Singapore saying, Swim with Courage, Ride with Resilience, Run with Endurance, Always thankful, always victorious, always a blessing, Ironman don’t go half-way, Ironman go all the way BUT there was a moment I was concerned.

That moment happened after climbing a hill along the bike course. We had to climb 5 hills in total. After climbing 4th hill with about 100km to go on my bike leg, my derailer shifters started to bother me. The cable or screw had come lose and the tension affected my paddling. The chain kept skipping / jumping and couldn’t stay in my chain ring. I tried several times to shift my gears hoping that the chain would stay in one position instead of skipping but to no avail. Hence, I got off my saddle at least 3 times and tried to rectify the problem but it still didn’t work. This saw my timing & rhythm slip. I had planned to cycle at an average speed of 27 – 28km/h so that I could finish my bike leg between 6hrs 30min to 6 hrs 15min. By about 3.30pm under the scorching heat with about 40km remaining, I started telling God that I need a miracle for my marathon leg. I recalled telling God that I wanted to finish strong and I prayed that I will not hit the wall or feel any cramp during the run. God was silent as I rushed through the countryside and villagers along a series of flat road into KUAH township. Later at about 4pm, I spoke to God again and asked Him if He has heard my cry??? As I passed the runners and entered KUAH, the Holy Spirit whispered and reminded me that everything is gonna be alright in Christ. That gave me a boost and I pressed on to the transition area. I met Shirley & Huimei along the roadside but couldn’t bring a smile as I was really exhausted and frustrated with my bike. I went into transition and soon started my run.

So how did you feel as you started running?

I made the transition and ran passed Shirley & Huimei and tried to smile and give them a nod of my head and all that was on my mind was finishing well and strong.

Some people said you were looking strong in the run, what kept you going??

Well, when you run from evening to twilight and into the night – it is an awesome and yet tiring experience. What kept me going was self-talk, talking to God, worshiping and thinking about you guys and gals back home [now that’s the mental & spiritual part]. I also had to discipline my body and now fully understand what Paul meant when he said he had to buffet / discipline his body for the work of Christ. I basically practiced what I did on the bike – x1 took salt tablet every 50 mins / x1 PowerGel every hourly and I drink pretty much after every 10 -15mins on the bike or run. During the run, I did not take my salt tablets from the special needs area because I wanted to keep my running rhythm going but the drinks and sponging at the Aid Station were very important especially for the purpose of regulating heat from the evening sun [that’s the physical and physiological part]. More importantly, your friends around make a lot of difference. For instance, a friend of mine ran passed me and said, “Hang in there Yong Howe”. That made a difference when you start seeing others walking and you just tell yourself you got to keep at it and so the marathon leg saw many ‘iron sharpen iron’ moments as your friends passed you by…. Thanks Desmond!

What are some images or pictures you will never forget???

That’s a good question! There are many I must say. For example, when I tried to ‘Hi Five’ the guy with the prosthetic leg Jeffrey Glasbrenner who lost his leg as a child in a farming accident and when I passed the Japanese Para Olympian, Harumi Yanagawa and his friend, I would thumbs up and his buddy would smile! These moments are special because you realize that everyone has got some kind of weakness or disabilities and sometimes the real disabilities and handicap is not physical but mental. Through these guys, I am reminded that our greatest weakness and disabilities is a weak mind and heart that says I can’t or I will not but when we can say like Paul, That we be lacking not in zeal but be zealous for God – WOW! I realize that at that moment when we surrender our physical or mental weaknesses and press on - we can finish any race, accomplish any dreams just as these two brave men proved they did. Read more @ http://www.ironman.com/events/ironman/malaysia?show=all&y=2007

On a more personal note, 2 images will remain in me for a long time to come and you will probably hear me testify over and over again. Here we go:

1. The marathon leg consists of 4 loops with the last all the way to the FINISH. After I did my first loop and collected my first red band, I felt a little weak and sleepy even though my legs were still able. As I took the red band, I told God I was gonna run non-stop and finish the loop for Shirley & our baby – that spur me on. When I finished the second and took the green band, I told God that I wanna run for my family and spiritual family Youthnet and my tribe and my people and every step of the way was either a prayer or a song for you guys….one particular song spurred me during my 3rd lap. It was the song, “I will run to You” not by might, not by power but by the spirit of God…yes I will run the race..till I see your face…Lord let me live in the glory of your grace…..Finally when I collected my last band and interestingly it was WHITE in colour, I told God the last one is for you JESUS, FATHER and Holy Spirit. I remember I would say I love you Jesus along the way, I love you Holy Spirit along the way….I said to God that I wanted to finish my Christian Race strong and well, I want to be more like Jesus…asking God to purify my heart … and as I ran into the mountains ….the Lord spoke to me as He has always done so through His word…. He said Yong Howe, remember Ps. 121 ….remember what you shared with the rest during the eve of your race…. Remember you said that every verse in this Psalms will come alive…. Indeed Ps. 121 came alive as I look to the Hills where does my help come from – the Maker of Heaven and Earth ---- I ran in awe as I looked at the mountains and looked at the moon and the stars…..Up till that moment, God has indeed watched over me in scorching sun till night where the moon was rising and in my coming and going – He who watches over me neither slumbers …. He will not let my foot slip!!! BUT I was kinda concern and caught up with looking at my watch and counting down in my head --- erghhh what time will I finish ….can I finish in my new goal of 15 hours since I had reset my goal from 14 to 15 hours after the bike leg ….. YET somewhere with just 10km more to go, the Lord whispered and said Yong Howe, stop looking at your watch! Look at the stars, enjoy worshiping me and enjoy this journey ---You will finish this race in my time!!! At that moment, songs like How Great is our God and In His Time were singing in my heart … I can’t really describe to you but I smiled and enjoyed the entire run and so the image I will not forget is the stars over the mountains and God whispering to my heart assuring and teaching me trust in Him.
2. The second one has to be my Dada! Yes Shirley at the finish about 30 metres more to the podium and running with her up to the stage and hugging and posing for a finishing shot. I love the way she loves me and seeing her at the end was special because she always knew she would be there despite her pregnancy and she always had such faith and belief more than me at times. Thank you SHIRLEY!

Now that you have completed the Ironman. How would you summarize what an Ironman Race or journey is all about???

Well, anyone can do an ironman because I believe the IM is about finishing. Yes an ironman is about finishing your dreams, your purposes and your goals in life and anyone with the ZEAL, PASSION can FINISH well and strong. However, we must go through the training - that’s pre-race preparation and we must go through the discipline – that’s race discipline and sticking to your plan or strategy and not weaver even when things don’t go your way.

Final Question, what’s next?

I don’t know now with so many things to catch up @ work and ministry and also with baby coming but I do know that this will not be my last IM!

Thanks!





-8:46 AM

Wanna share something that i read this morning on my way to work.

From James 1, it says that when u ask for wisdom do not doubt. As many of you know, i have just changed to a new job. And with that, of course there are new challeges and certain amt of difficulties. So pride step in and i tried to do it with my own strength. Naturally, i failed.

God is merciful and good though. He reminded me today that His steadfast love never ceases. And lead me to James 1 where it says ask for wisdom. But it also says when u ask, do not doubt. For he who doubts is like a double-minded man, unstable and he will not receive from the Lord.

So children of God. Have u been taking things on your own strength? I encourage you to start each day committing everything to Him. And see how He will guide and bless you.

Daniel
