There must be more than this.

School. Books. Exams. Assignments. Food. Work. Money. Entertainment. Fun.

There must be more than life to this. If i were to be called back to my Father in heaven today, i'd be dying (LOL the pun) for an extension, for i have so many, though unknown, things yet to be done.

The Earth is in a worrying state, Malaysia needs the support of those who believe she can still be saved, that one day she will be a beautiful Nation with people who loves God, and the world of technology is taking over the world.  

So many problems, but you only have one lifetime. 

Starting with my worries about technology, not that i'm not a person of technology, because compared to my parents and grandparents' time i am very much into technology and pretty much grew up with technology around me. And if you see me now, i'm pretty much holding my smartphone with me wherever i go. But do i still enjoy reading a book, smelling its musty smell, or reading the newspaper, getting my fingers black? Yes. Do i (occasionally) enjoy sweating, being out in the Sun around plants and trees listening to the birds chirping and crickets creakin? Yes. Will i survive an entire day without gadgets? Yes. 

Being at the age where you see babies being born left, right, front and at the back of you, you would start noticing the different upbringing of a child in the era where a kid's meal would consist of French Fries and junks, flipping the pages of a book (IF they ever read one) would be swiping your finger from right to left on the iPad, and the only way to shut a crying baby up is to hand them your smartphone or tablet for a game. Is this how i would raise my future kids? I dread it. 

I find myself relying on technology so much that it scares me. I always use the amazing application Waze when i need to find something, instead of the old conventional way of using my brain or asking around. Technology had molded our mindset into "Don't waste time on trial and error, get i right on the first time" which doesn't actually sound evil, but is an error due to trying bad? There's a saying : 
"You haven't seen the light until you've seen darkness."
How true is this statement? Not that i am encouraging everyone to SEEK darkness, but life gives you a whole new pair of goggles after you've experienced a certain part of life. So there's no harm in trying right? Gu Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho) once said in Boys Over Flowers (Yes, i watched that movie DON'T JUDGE :P ) : 
"I'd rather regret doing something rather than regret not doing something"
However, with the one of the many gift of God to mankind ; technology, a borderless world was born. There must be something we can do with this, right? It might be a blessing in disguise for a meek little person like me.

I want to try saving the environment, I want to try help Malaysia to grow into a better nation, I want to find out what the Lord has in store for me, I want to find out who I am, I want to find out my place on this Earth, I want to find out where I belong. 

So many wants, but there is no scarcity of resources here. (Economics in life, uhuh)

Where do I start? How will I know if this is not one of my hot chicken shit desires? How will I carry these out?
I need a fire, I need a kick (yes, kick not a push cos it won't suffice), I need a path miraculously opened to me in the wilderness. 


Pray, pray, and pray for the answer will be the answer. Until i get the answer, i will continue to believe and continue trying in the little baby steps i am able to do as of now as He had told us to do.


Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7 : 7 

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Matthew 11 : 24

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Matthew 21 : 22







Sharing this song with all of you because its lyrics are a story to my feeling as of now

There must be more than this,
O breath of God come breathe within,
There must be more than this,
Spirit of God we wait for You.
Fill us anew we pray,
Fill us anew we pray.
(Chorus)
Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God won't you fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,
Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.
Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall.
(Chorus)
Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God won't you fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,
Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.
Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall,
(Chorus)
Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God won't you fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts,
A passion for Your Name.
(A passion for Jesus)
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts,
A passion for Your Name.
