Scripture Reading : Mark 8:14-25
"You have eyes - can't you see? You have ears - can't you hear? Don't you remember anything at all?" ( Mark 8:18)
Take down the negative pictures in your mind, and let the image of victory take root.
Don't dwell on the negative things, but look through your eyes of faith and structure Yourself the way you wanted to be...
*What kind of pictures have you place on the walls of your mind?*

Hmm..this chapter is very interesting. Is always our thoughts that come 1st..how we think, how we picture things in our mind..like even when we r reading the bible, automatically we wil pic the stories or the human character accordin to the description in the bible.. i remembered las saturday, my church in aussie talked on "how do we picture the Jesus we know" many ppl often hv a diff picture of Jesus in our mind..even right now, u might picture a Jesus who is a gentle man, or He is angry, or a face full of compassion or Jesus who cries etc..so is important tat we alw hv a positive, a good pic!!like when im sad, i can alw pic tat Jesus is my comforter or when come 2 studies, nowadays i alw motivate myself by "imagining" alot of smart ppl r studyin rite now...so victoria..u muz study tooo!! hehe..oh well, tats my sharing 4 this chap...haha...so lets start developing a good pic!
tis chapter reli let me learn a lot...
my auntie n grandma passed away bcoz of cancer.so im actualy afraid of 1 day i will get cancer..suffering there..pay a lot of $ but die at the end....
the doctor said some of our family member will get cancer too....then my unties reli scare when heard it..
v r just like the 'middle-aged man' in the chapter..
after i read it then i start to developing a new pic.thinking of the good life...with a rich guy...hahahaha
This book bringing me from having faith to positive vision to better vision and enlarging vision. Praise God that I starts climbing stairs upward to my dreams where i stop long ago. Now! I starts climbing this stairs with faith and a better vision in me. in this chapter what i learn was: start to develope a new image. This may happen bad n front of me but i need to have a better images. "first things to do was to change the image that we have of ourselves on the inside" Get a new vision. make sure your eyes is filled with light. In my hospital, many people will says bad things of me. Says my mind don't think properly, i do things very slow, too good to patients.. Says many things like that. All this word always hurted me so deeply. From the moment they says those words i can choose to accept or reject.. If we accept those words, negatif vision of ourselves will come to us. I used to listen and be sad about it but after i read Ps Joel sharing on his mother respond on her cancer, i said to myself. A cancer patient can have that kind of faith in sickness, I who have everything MUST have faith More than her. People around will throw me bad vision of myself but I myself must have my own positif vision so i can reject and stand on myself like what PS Joel says let the image of vistory take root. Do things that build us up spiritually. Last year, i drawn my 10 years plan on a drawing paper and stick it in my room so everyday i am able to see it. Every day i pray for it and i see things happen just as what i draw. So i want to share to every of you all, draw it and start to see it happening in your life just like what you had draw. (to produce it on the outside,you must first picture it on the inside) Dream Big and you see BIG...

' If you think you can, you can!' the most popular verse that v always heard. It is truth. In today reading, GOD let me see how HE transformed me. I used to be shy, no confidence in doing things, over worried. Or i should said, I'm a looser. Failure that i had during my college time, delayed my further study at oversea because my poor study. but I priase GOD, bcos HE make things happen according HIS time.Even though i missed the chance to further study at UK that time, but i learn to be strong and have faith in HIM. Stil remember i prayed like this " GOD, i so wanted to go oversea study, it is my hope and to my parents. but if itis UR will that i shud stay in msia and finish my study, GOD i will follow, b'cos I bliv U prepare the best 4 me.' Thank GOD, I able to go study at oversea and finished my degree.
After years away from home, i learn to be indepandence, be courage n have faith in HIM. HE listen my prayer makes things change. Crying or think negative will not help me, but when things seems not turning, remember there is always turning from GOD. Still remember during final year, i negotiated with GOD, i wud take up the calling that HE given to me only if HE must make sure I past my exam and get my degree. Thinking back, it is v miracle how GOD send ppl to help and praise GOD i graduated!
When i was out as a working adult, GOD been preparing the best for me. HE nv give me 2nd but the best. Im not those smart fella, but GOD slowly build up my character to be confidence in HIM> GOD open doors and teaching me that HE is always there 4 me. Telling me that I'm loved and not the pity one.
'Not by might nor by power but by HIS spirit' think positive in every sense... if GOD with us, who can against us...amen!
