One of the things that i'm trying to achieve in the more recent days of my life is to be an encourager...a turn around from all the moaning and overly selfish whining(at times)...
How can i be an encourager? hope i can one day drop the 'unfriendly' impression that has so glued onto my "stateless face"...hahaha.
I wanna apolagize to all my friends whom i may have discouraged over the course of time...

SNIPPETS OF MY LIFE WHEN I WAS ENCOURAGED BY SOMEONE
Met Chester Fernandez my ex-classmate/class monitor/high school CF vice pres./Man U supporter and friend
(who has many admirers when he returns to Bethel church every now and then-*this is factual ok*).
He's sailing on the shipping company MEARSK(hope i got that right) and has just started working as a marine engineer...and works months at sea.
Told me and Justin(thin & tall one) as we were dining that working life was tough and lonely when you get colleagues/supervisor that hate you and tell you that they hate you to your face for their own bitter reasons.
In the middle of the ocean, he was thankful that he had memorized scriptures from the Bible to encourage himself...and quoted it to himself as he felt the weight of responsibility steamroll over him. That was all he had at that time.
guess that's something i have taken to heart from that conversation. Iron sharpens iron...I was encouraged by him when i saw him draw his source of support and comfort from God's Word.
Wee Liem once encouraged me when i was down...straight frm the archives..
*growing up*, learning not to rely too much on my unreliable feelings...but on God's promises
Neo Wee Liem (10/20/2005 1:10:13 AM): y?
Neo Wee Liem (10/20/2005 1:10:16 AM): wats bugging u man?

Big
Words and music by Mike Guglielmucci
Genre: rock
My God is big
So strong so mighty
My God's plan for me
Goes beyond my wildest dreams
My God is good
He's so good to me
My God is big
So strong so mighty
My God is good
He's so good to me
Chorus:
He's my God and
He is my refuge
He's the rock on which I stand
He's my fortress
God, He is my life
He holds the oceans in His hand
My God is Big
So Strong so mighty
My God is good
He's so good to me
There's nothing my God cannot do
