Yesterday was indeed special, it was because Jesus died and rose again approximately 2000 years ago... We went for Easter Sunday Service at First Baptist Church at Petaling Jaya... and it took us around an hour to reach there from Nilai... I slept in the bus the whole time =)
The praise & worship was awesome, but our choir was even better =P ... We presented 2 songs, "Oh Happy Day" and "Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus" ... The speaker was talking about contrast between Fear and Boldness, highlighted in the book of Mark 15 : 43 - 16 : 8 ... Will you risk you reputation, personal belongings, and even your life, for Jesus, like John of Arimathea? Or will you rather be like the women who fear to proclaim the truth?
FEAR inhibits FAITH, both of these cannot coexist... There's always a price to pay, something to give up, if we chose to follow Jesus... Why do we felt embarrassed proclaiming our christian faith? Do opinions and perception of others really matter that much? We can never follow Him in a distance, we need to be bold and courageous for Him, like Paul, who can go the distance for Christ...
Once again, I would like all of us to ponder upon our own faith as Christ died and resurrected 2000 years ago, for us... He bore all the pain and humiliation, for us, unclean unworthy sinners... How do we overcome our own fear, fear to proclaim His victory?? It can only be done, if and only if we fear the Lord who is in control of everything, and anything.
Does His death sharpen and strengthen your faith in Him??
Will you Risk @ Run ???
He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”
Mark 4 : 40

It was indeed a long day, because I've to finish up something real important... Something to really bring the Easter's atmosphere to this very college... Though it's a bit late, but better late than never =) We have been spending hours, working diligently day and night, to finish our little gift, for everyone in our college...
It all begin with packets of flour, and 300 balloons... And thanks to everyone, who came and supported our effort, and make it possible and successful one...
It was very tedious and boring, especially when there were only few of us doing it... But, thank God for giving me the momentum to carry one, till we finish the very last one, last night 10.14 pm..... Hahahaha.... Finally it's over.....
Special thanks to Jeremy Wee, and Kenneth for coming nearly everyday to help, I really do appreciate your hard work...
