Happy Birthday Joey Less Than Three

Joey Joey Joey! (Nice photo kan. Don’t kill me.)

I’m your second biggest fan! Your Biggest fan is God la of course. And as a fan, I really have so much I love about you. 

(Warning: Take a deep breath)

I love watching you (creepy kan). I love listening to your talking voice. I love your singing. I love your advice. I love your love for everyone. Especially your compassion for the emotionally and physically needy. I love that you love to share. I love your confidence when there is a problem that needs to be fixed. I love (and also don’t love) your perfectionism. I love your hugs and support. I love to see you cry because it speaks of your attitude towards God and His people. I love finding comfort in holding your hands. I love to hear your laugh. And I love your lame jokes. I love that you’re so smart (you’ve taught me a lot of common and uncommon sense) (where do you keep all these information?). I love all your talents. I love it when you pray. You are so connected to God. I love when you get messages from God. That’s really a special connection you have. I love that you don’t reject me when you know my weaknesses, but rebuke and teach me and also follow up on my progress (you do get angry sometimes, which is also good). I love that you try to change yourself when others (or I) rebuke you. I love that you get excited for the right things. And best of all. I love that you love me.

This journey has not been easy for me and I think it’s been even harder for you. But I know for sure God’s hand is on you. And on me. And I do believe He’ll be the one to hold us together. And we’ll have the happiest ending in Heaven with Jesus for eternity (that’s a long time)!

Joey, please continue to love the Lord. No matter what. Because I will fail you. And you will fail yourself. But God won’t fail ever. Your obedience is all He asks for. Be obedient to God. Not to me. Not to yourself. Only to God. Whatever you do, bring Glory to Him. 
I think God is so proud of you now actually. But you can still do more. You can still be more. As long as we learn to have less of us and more of Him. As long as we walk in His path. Then we’ll surely see Spiritual Growth and Perfection.

Lord take Joey again in your arms. Wrap her in Your love. Flood her with Your grace. Fill her with Your Spirit. Drench her in Your beauty and glory. May she always have great Christ-like Character; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,  gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. And Lord input on her great Christ-like Attitude; being kindly affectionate, delighting in honouring others, not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, always serving the Lord, joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. 

Thank You Lord for birthing this wonderfully made creature and sharing her with the world. 

And all those who love Joey say… 

Amen!!!

Happy Birthday Joey!

Happy Birthday Joey.

You’ve changed my life.

I have no idea how to describe how I feel.

Or what has been happening these few months.

But it’s better than anything I can wish for.

Thank you.

Remember the times when going to McDonalds was the most fun thing you could do with your friends?

This year, just bring me to McD for dinner. That’s kinda enough for me.

Simpler times. Simpler expectations.

In Regards To The Anniversary Of Ivan’s Birth

Ivan. I’ve known this dude since the beginning of 1998 (I think). So it’s been 18 years.

I’m glad to have kept in contact with him. I’ve seen him grow a lot. He’s quite different from 18 years ago. Taller.

So to write this post, I’m gonna ask myself: what are some things that I remember most about Ivan?

Hmmmmm. One thing is that there was this once when we were at his house, we were playing with the skateboard, and I wanted to skate down a downslope. The skateboard went forward, but I didn’t. I fell on my butt bone. And that was one of my most painful experiences of my life. I think I couldn’t sit properly for at least two weeks.

Also, we once made short comics with his toys and a camera.

Thirdly, I remember he would lose the game very frequently when he was around Jeremy and I.

Not only that, we could really chat for a long time. I think it’s cuz we see life quite similarly. And have kind of a similar set of beliefs and principles.

What else can I remember? I’ve had lots of adventures with Ivan. Especially when Jeremy’s around haha.

To Ivan, thanks for being one of my closest buddies! Here’s to more adventures and fun together. Always grow and be as Christ-like as possible!

Happy birthday!

Romans 12:1-2

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Sin, When It Is Full-Grown, Brings Forth Death.

 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.  Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Imagine a baby. Not a cute one. A bright red one. With hungry eyes. And sharp teeth. Three horns on it’s head. It’s not crying, or screaming, or flailing it’s arms. Just waiting. Staring. Waiting for food. Waiting to grow. Waiting to devour you when you make yourself vulnerable.

That’s what I imagine when I read James 1:14-15. My sins will be the death of me.

When I entertain my desire with my mind, I conceive a life, or death in this case. When I choose to act, it becomes a sin; the baby has come into existence. And the more I feed this baby, the more it grows and drains me. One day, this baby will be strong enough to overpower me and kill me.

I have sinned a lot. Today, yesterday, and everyday before that. I need to stop. God help me. Cleanse me with your holy Fire. Purify. Teach me to be strict with myself. Teach me obedience. Grant me the power and wisdom of the Holy Spirit to overcome temptation. Teach me to stop sin even at it’s conception. Fill me God. Fill me.

Happy Birthday!

If it’s your birthday, do two things for me.

One. Thank God for giving you an extra year from last year. Thank God for allowing you another year.

Two. Claim God’s blessings & God’s promises. Whatever He’d said He’d give, He’ll give. Tell Him that you WANT it.

 

Okay. That’s all. Bye

Not A Poem For Joey

Good morning Joey! Sorry, I mean, Safe Day Happens! Direct translation to Malay means Selamat Hari Jadi! Or Happy Birthday!

I really appreciate you. You’re a great person. Very humble. Honest (okay, maybe not the honestest person I know). Fun. Understanding. Always willing to help. God is like super number one on your priority list. Extremely careful and perfectionist (which… may be your biggest weakness also hehe). You really have a heart for serving people. And you’re a great help when I get overloaded. Thank you for everything.

I’d like you to know, that we really appreciate who you are and all you do. I know I do get strict with you sometimes, and I’m sorry if I’ve ever hurt you or said something I shouldn’t have. Everyone loves you, I wonder if you ever notice. That’s not important, though. God notices. That’s way important. Even if we don’t see the little things that you do, God sees it.

Also, you got a really special gift of being very sensitive to God’s spirit. I hope you practice it. Be bold my friend! I am honestly jealous of this haha. But I have to say God couldn’t have picked a right-er person.

Okay, enough of kissing your feet. Happy birthday! You’re getting old! So faster get married ktnxbai!

Goddess Of War

Let not thy scepter smite thy servant for proclaiming such words with visual aids.

 

Happy birthday!

I love all our conversation, especially when I feel more encouraged in my faith. Let’s keep up our ‘deep talk’!

May God bless you always! (He does anyways, so maybe I should wish you something else?)

 

I don’t know

doctorbutterfly, always at your service.

Happy Birthday

RIDGE!

 

Man I love this guy
