for all of us to go home but something tells me not to go home just yet...Well i depart from them &amp;amp; totally have no idea where im heading or going...i keeping on walking &amp; walking...From City hall to CityLink, From City Link to Marina Sq, From Marina Sq to Esplanade, Esplanade to Raffles place...Along the way i was listening to songs in my mp3...Theres a song named, "Your Heart Will Lead You Home"...I looked up at the Beautiful sky above, thinking of how i was in the past, What i will be like if not for him, Thinking of His goodness!! The song somehow speaks into my life! Suddenly, I can feel that he's just beside me walking together with me...Even there's lots of people ard me, i feel like its only me &amp; God alone...I listened to the song like 20 over times...over again &amp; again...Even on the way back home on the train, He's still wif me...I laid my head on the metal pillar bar like laying my head on His shoulder...I know, right before my eyes, even if the sun fades away, His unfailing Love is there for me!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

What a great marvelous conference it is! But kinda lost my voice and lost bout 6 kg cos of Emerge! Guess its bcos i didnt eat much during Emerge...Only finger food...But well its a gd thing! ha! Physically i didnt eat alot but during Emerge, i had the best spiritual buffet! Wow Jesus is a great chef! ha! Well, the Emerge finale happen to be my finale too...Going NS in less than 2 days! Im seriously gonna miss my cell members! Esp my ah Jie!! Jie, im missing you alr!! Feels like im gonna be out of action for a long time! Well, i should nt be feeling bad...Cos i noe &amp;amp; i noe!!!!! My marketplace is gonna start a revival Bcos of me!! I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF ONE!!!! Just few days ago, i was reading a bk on Pastor Cho...Theres this chapter that toks bout "Positiveness"! And WOW i love it!! Says here dat we should nt say negative things like "we cant do it", "its too hard"...A positive attitude is an open channel! And if anyone think in a negative way, it will destroy the work of God! Be positive in our talking and imagination! I caught something aft reading it! Starting a revival may not be easy, but its nt impossible! Cos All things are possible with God!! We may think sometimes dat we cant do it...we dun speak well...But We dun look at ourselves, but we look to Jesus!! Not by might, not by our own strength but by His spirit, we claim the victory! Wats more, theres power in the things we say out from our mouth...if we say we cant, we r right...if we say we are poor, we r right...Wat u think u r, ur right! Attitude is everything, We gotta hv a positive attiude! If God can empowered a person wif all kinds of weird weapons dat he placed in the heroes of faith in the bible, i tell ya, even though u may lack education, even though u may come from a bad background...No matter who u r, God CAN use YOU in a powerful way!! If you believe it, dat settles it! as simple as dat! Start proclaiming, I can do all things thru Jesus!! I can do all things thru Jesus!! I can do all things thru Jesus!! =)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

to have a mum ard?!?! When i fell sick last week, not caring whether i will spread the germs to her, she took care of me...I experienced a great mother love there! I dun mind falling sick again so that she can take care of me! Is really to a certain point that when we are down and weak, that we notice how much our parents love us! Sometimes in life, we go too fast not realising the love others have for us...I learnt to slow down a little bit, to appreciate my family...God is a God of restoration!! I dun really have a great family love back den in my early years...In my school years, fight is like a CCA for me...like a normal activity i always participate in! So sometimes i will have cuts &amp; bruises when i go home...Instead of caring but my family laughed at me, mocked at me...I will always feel they dun care bout me at all! I really hv no idea how God does things...I experience lots of love from my family &amp;amp; relatives...Back to my mum, she just told me a thing that makes me so touched...She actually took leave tml just to go out with me...She all of a sudden wanna bless me with a cellphone...Very sudden....In my mind im telling myself, dats not her! is not her at all! Well, i sure know is God's doing! thank You! Me &amp;amp; my mum going Expo foodfair!! im gonna have a great time with her!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6329257894442514041-2909684491480868896?l=terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com/feeds/2909684491480868896/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6329257894442514041&amp;postID=2909684491480868896' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6329257894442514041/posts/default/2909684491480868896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6329257894442514041/posts/default/2909684491480868896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com/2007/05/thank-you-mummy.html' title='THANK YOU MUMMY!!'/><author><name>TeRryMiLeS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02558269349087661650</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CRxh4ae6dcA/RlsQAwD2BMI/AAAAAAAAAAc/hRNkkLKN6Ww/s72-c/images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329257894442514041.post-7772774376547821822</id><published>2007-05-28T08:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-28T09:46:39.589-07:00</updated><title type='text'>12 days to Army!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;12 days to Army...hey Army doesnt really seem dat bad...In fact im gonna celebrate by singing 12 days to Army...Here we go!!

type='text'>GOD'S GARDEN</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;God's Garden is not really a place where flowers grow. It is a place where people grow. It is where all of us are right now. We are always in this garden from the time we are born until the time we die. Hopefully in life we will grow in the right direction and that direction is toward God. We are all here for the same reason. We are on our way home to God. Sometimes on this trip home we will grow slowly like a flower. Other times we will have to sprout and grow wings like a bird in order to fly there. Either way it will be a rough journey and growing is usually a pretty painful process. Our lives here are not about what we are going to get. Our lives here are about what we are going to give. And not about the love we received but the love that we gave. Many did not understand the ambitious violet (this is one of the poems below). They thought she should be happy with who she was and criticized her. But she was the most magnificent and glorious flower in the whole garden. She was not concerned with who she was and didn't insist on being herself. Nor did she succumb to the pressures of becoming who others wanted her to be. She gave up her life of living safely in the shade with all the other violets and chose to become the tallest flower in the garden so that she could reach closer to God. Please scroll along safely through the garden and be careful not to step on any of the other flowers. And by all means please feed the birds. They are growing wings and need strength for the flight ahead.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6329257894442514041-9144387372216430926?l=terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com/feeds/9144387372216430926/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6329257894442514041&amp;postID=9144387372216430926' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6329257894442514041/posts/default/9144387372216430926'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6329257894442514041/posts/default/9144387372216430926'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com/2007/05/gods-garden.html' title='GOD&apos;S GARDEN'/><author><name>TeRryMiLeS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02558269349087661650</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329257894442514041.post-7443157207419140648</id><published>2007-05-24T21:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-24T21:16:06.656-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ambitious Violet</title><content type='html'>&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;There once was a violet &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;who was so full of woes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;That she cried, and she cried,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;for she longed to be a rose&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;And &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;Mother Nature upon seeing the little flower so glumTurned her into a rose &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;before the next morn would come&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The flower awoke &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;to feel the warmth of sunlight&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;And continued to grow &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;through each day and each night&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Becoming taller, and taller, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;she grew right past a cloud&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;And the violet, now a rose,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;

Everytime i wanna give a speech, and i know what i should say but when its time to say, i will forget everything im suppose to say...i cant talk well sometimes...will have loopholes...that however really bring my faith level down...i always wanted to be a cell leader...i love to serve! but always i will tell myself if i can't talk well, how am i gonna be a leader...Along the way, this past few weeks, im been really down, disappointed...I wanna help the pple in cell to help them grow...God placed them into my hands...but all i get is either they are nt doing well, M.I.A., P.O.,backslide....that somehow really gave me a reason to blame myself....Who's my enemy? the person you see every morning in the relection of the mirror...thank God! really thank God for the word in season...My leader told me this: My confidence should be from God not from men., Approval from God not from men, Whatever i do, do it for Him...Let God help me win the battle within me...That night i was broken before God and praying hard for God to give me the solution to overcome all that &amp;amp; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;God said the way to booast your confidence is really to read My Word, prayer and building a really strong relationship with ME that you never done before...As you do all this, I will begin to mold ur character and build my confidence...My Word is not just a book but the words will bring healing!!&lt;/span&gt; God is so crystal clear when He said that to me...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;And God reminded me of a story in the Bible, about the Leaper, how Jesus adore him, healed him and love him....i really cant help but to think how he was like before he met Jesus...The leaper's parents disowned him and his in the streets...hiding from the crowds, not letting anyone see how ugly, rotten he is...Even when people in the streets spotted him, everyone will never ever stay close to him....everyone calls him dirty!! dirty!! dirty!! Freak!!! freak!!! Disgusting!!! No one!! not a single person stop by for him...No one!! But theres one person, standing in front of him, looking at him, smiled at him and gave him a hug that no one gave him before...The leaper was so so so broken...He weeped...Jesus!! im not worthy!! everyone is avoiding me...i have no reason to live!! Jesus smiled and healed him!! Jesus adored him like no one had before...My past may not be as worse as the leaper's...But God reminded me how much he really loves me!!!

Going for Nation service (ARMY) in less than 4 weeks!! Most of the people i know is not looking forward to it! HA! I Am!! Its gonna be a challenging time with the zZzZZZ Monster! ha! People may worry if its gonna affect their spiritual life...From the way i see it, i think its gonna be a time that makes ya even stronger!! Hey, i love the army! call me nuts but i love it...its MAN's stuff...wat's more, got a free trainer to help me keep fit...Anyway even if im tired &amp; everything, i still will go to the House of God!!! i rather fall sleep in the house of God than sleeping at my house enjoying comfort!! Will army cost me to "BACKSLIDE"? i say "NO"! "NEVER"! i refuse to think negative but focus on the positive!! WAt exactly is backslide? its never in my dictionary!! ha! I believe that when a man have a vision, nth, no Angels in Heaven, No demons in hell &amp; NO person in earth can stop that vision!!! take Moses for example, Look with me at Heb 11:24-27... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter / Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God than to have the pleasure of sin for a time / Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward / By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured, as seeing him that is invisible... &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;What Can Visions do?&lt;br /&gt;1) It can help you to make difficult decisions!&lt;br /&gt;v24 says: Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's Daughter&lt;br /&gt;Moses gave up his royal/Prince position and the pleasures of Egypt!&lt;br /&gt;Why did he make that decision? cos he saw a much greater calling, great vision&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)Help you to be willing to pay the price...&lt;br /&gt;v25 - Choosing to be afflicted with the people...&lt;br /&gt;the price was enduring ill-treatment...&lt;br /&gt;He was going to endure instead of enjoy...WHY? he had a vision!!&lt;br /&gt;Just like Jesus himself...Why is He so willing to endure the pain, to pay the price? He had a vision of me &amp; you!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)Live for eternal not the temporary...&lt;br /&gt;Moses Considered the reproach of Jesus more valueable than the treasures of Egypt...&lt;br /&gt;But the question is, why did he choose the reproach of Jesus more valueable than the treasures of Egypt? The things we have now is only temporary but GOD is eternal!! the treasures of Egypt is present, but he was looking to a future reward! He lives for Tomorrow instead of today...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*4)Visions help you to overcome your fear in your life!!&lt;br /&gt;Without a shadow of a doubt, a vision can help us pay the price and it can make us to rise above all fear in our lives!! FOCUS on your vision! no matter how BIG the mountain is in front of you...How BIG is your vision?? Mountains are big, Yes! but Mountains cant grow, But we can!! our visions can be much bigger than you think!! Press on to the upward call of Christ!! FOCUS!! Wat can a mountain do to us? =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6329257894442514041-289665550631177025?l=terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com/feeds/289665550631177025/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6329257894442514041&amp;postID=289665550631177025' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6329257894442514041/posts/default/289665550631177025'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6329257894442514041/posts/default/289665550631177025'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com/2007/05/road-to-manhood.html' title='ROAD TO MANHOOD...'/><author><name>TeRryMiLeS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02558269349087661650</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329257894442514041.post-4718454131044807930</id><published>2007-05-14T08:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-14T08:11:53.121-07:00</updated><title type='text'>MEASURE OF A MAN!!</title><content type='html'>These battered hands are all you own&lt;br /&gt;This broken heart just turned to stone&lt;br /&gt;Go hang your glory on the wall&lt;br /&gt;There comes a time when castles fall&lt;br /&gt;And all that's left is shifting in the sand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're out of time, you're out of place&lt;br /&gt;Look at your face&lt;br /&gt;That's the measure of a man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This coat that fits you like a glove&lt;br /&gt;These dirty streets you learned to love&lt;br /&gt;So welcome back my long lost friend&lt;br /&gt;You've been to hell and back again&lt;br /&gt;God alone knows how you crossed that span&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back on the beat, back to the start&lt;br /&gt;Trust in your heart&lt;br /&gt;That's the measure of a man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand&lt;br /&gt;It's the things you understand&lt;br /&gt;Permanent ties from which you once ran&lt;br /&gt;That's the measure of a man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've come full circle, now you're home&lt;br /&gt;Without the gold, without the chrome&lt;br /&gt;And this is where you've always been&lt;br /&gt;You had to lose so you could win&lt;br /&gt;And rise above your troubles while you can&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you can love, now you can lose&lt;br /&gt;Now you can choose&lt;br /&gt;That's the measure of a man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand&lt;br /&gt;It's the things you understand&lt;br /&gt;Permanent ties from which you once ran&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've come full circle, now you're home&lt;br /&gt;Without the gold, without the chrome&lt;br /&gt;And this is where you've always been&lt;br /&gt;You had to lose so you could win&lt;br /&gt;And rise above your troubles while you can&lt;br /&gt;That's the measure of a man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you can love, now you can lose&lt;br /&gt;Now you can choose&lt;br /&gt;That's the measure of a man&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6329257894442514041-4718454131044807930?l=terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com/feeds/4718454131044807930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6329257894442514041&amp;postID=4718454131044807930' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6329257894442514041/posts/default/4718454131044807930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6329257894442514041/posts/default/4718454131044807930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://terrymiles-measureofaman.blogspot.com/2007/05/measure-of-man.html' title='MEASURE OF A MAN!!'/><author><name>TeRryMiLeS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02558269349087661650</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
