I am still learning…

Posted in Uncategorized with tags on November 4, 2009 by Jonathan Carl Wong

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Moving out and away from your comfort zone

Posted in The Word with tags on October 13, 2009 by Jonathan Carl Wong

Can you imagine if God, one day told you, like how he told Abraham in Genesis 12, “Leave your country, your people, and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you…”

Sometimes I wonder if God were to tell me something similar, that I will be able to do the same. Leaving your comfort zone, going to uncharted waters, doing something that you’ve never done before…

Even as I ponder about this thought, it holds the same in many things that we do. Our apprehension when it comes to a new environment, undertaking a new ministry, starting a new relationship, all these, requires us to move away from our comfort zone, it requires us to embrace change and transformation. Sometimes, we just hold back when it comes to new things. Many times, we don’t adapt to changes around us, but we try to change our new environment to fit to our old system.

God has given us promise after promise in His Word, that He will always be with us. Sometimes, we forget that, and we tend to go back to the way of familiarity, to our comfort zone. What ever happened to the element of Faith?

What is God asking you today, to do something, something new, bold, creative, exciting? Or are we contented with what we have?

It’s already October!!

Posted in The Happenings with tags on September 30, 2009 by Jonathan Carl Wong

Goodness! How time flies! September flew by exceptionally quick, and now it’s already coming October! My house is almost done and ready, and I should be moving in about 4-6 weeks time! :)

For those who are thinking of getting me house-warming presents, may I suggest the following:-

1) LOGOS Bible Software for Mac

2) Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR

I know these items are not exactly the cheapest presents to get, but I’m sure there are many kind souls out there! And many can share & chip in to the cost of the present! :)

Ohh, and I won’t mind a Sony PS3 either! :)

Awesome singing!

Change is inevitable

Posted in The Happenings, The Personal Life with tags , on August 19, 2009 by Jonathan Carl Wong

Woohoo, my first blog post using my new 13inch Macbook Pro! :) Fantastic! :)

Plenty of changes over the last 2-3 weeks.

- Staying in Queensway

Having been staying in Bishan for almost 20 years, having to shift to Queensway has taken some adjustment. Thank God I drive, making the change of environment easier to handle. Living together with my aunt has also been slightly challenging, but I do appreciate the company. It’s also good that she has a maid to help with the washing/ironing!

- Elizabeth Starting school!

I’m extremely glad that Elizabeth has started NIE. I can tell the mark difference from when she was in SIM compared to now. Now, she has such motivation to finish her school work and she seems super interested in class! It’s good that she’s able to adjust well in class, and I think she has made some good friends in school too! Woohoo.

- Windows to Mac

I must say, this change has been smooth, and easy. I’m loving the Mac, and it’s really cool. It’s actually easier to use compared to the Windows too! :)

Meanwhile, the community work in church has been progressing quite well, with a few kids turning up for our self-study group. Nothing big yet, but Prayerfully, I believe that something Great is going to happen. We just have to be faithful with the small things, and God will do the rest! :)
