Talents And Gifts

485th Post.

Preparing for Identity Retreat now...

Well the topic I'll speaking about is one really really close to my heart: Talents and Gifts. Back then, years ago, if I hadn't discovered my talents, gotten confidence to use them and gotten all the encouragement that I needed, I wouldn't be who I am today. Who knows what I'll be? Probably the quiet, timid self I was up till that moment.

I managed all that only through God's guidance, and I shudder to think what would've happened if He hadn't been with me all those years. And because of that, I want the youths of my church to realize how enriching it can be for themselves when they find God's work in them and when they use it for God's purposes. I experienced the wonderful power of it all, and I'd like for them to feel it too!

On a side note... Anyone from my era remembers the show the Crystal Maze? 6 people come together to solve physical, mental, skill and mystery puzzles in 4 time zones, the aztec, medieval, futuristic and industrial zones to collect crystals and earn prizes. Here's a pic:


Anybody? If you don't remember it, go youtube it and maybe you'll recall.

I'm watching it now... For the mental stimulation haha.

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and ...

Bakemonogatari

Hiya everyone! Just signed my permanent staff contract today and I must say that was a real moment of satisfaction. Shows that the 2 years of hard work and dedication to what I do has paid off in a big way and I'm happy with my work. When I started my job I had no idea it would be this fulfilling and enjoyable and I am so blessed to have it. Couple of exciting things are happening: for one a holiday with my family to Korea. Other stuff include pay raises and the bonus that goes with it, Euro 2016 etc. I finally watched a match on Saturday (it was boring) but Sunday night's matches were great. Tonight not too sure if I'll watch any but it's shaping up to be an exciting tournament. Well that's all for now, more updates after the next series!
