My Life Wasn't Complete

Well... Many of my friends doubted that why I joined the LDS (Mormon) church and served my mission. I just wish to note down some of my feelings and thoughts when I met the missionaries in March 2004.


Before I start to tell you about my story, feel free to listen to this brother

I felt about the same as him. I was quite happy but I just cannot figure out what is lacking in my life. I have lovely parents, good siblings, financial supports for my study, and quite good results.

When I met the missionaries, I knew what was I lacking at that time. The joy and confident that shown by them. I need that and I want to find-out where they gain that light that shines from their countenances.

So I started to set appointments with them to learn and find out more about their messages. I was suprised by their theory that family can be together forever. It strucked me, as my grandma just passed away not to long ago at that time.....

What do you want?

In two weeks time, i'll be home for 1 year after my mission. What had I done in this year? What did I learn?

Things that I achieved...

1) I found a job that I love and enjoyed so much... (be a teacher)

2) My relationship with my parents is getting closer and they really know the reason I serve my mission (I love them)

3) able to draw a little closer to God (through many trials and errors)

4) Visit to temple again after my MTC in Oct 2006 (will visit Taipei temple with Bishop Neo's family end of Nov '09)

Things that not yet done (my goals for this coming year)

1) Get certified as a teacher

2) Get my parents + siblings to attend church and learn about the gospel

3) Be more obedient to the Lord's commandments (obedience to exactness)

4) Seriously date a worthy sister that I can bring to temple

Again, thanks for the Eternal Marriage student Manual. I read this talk by Elder Bruce R. McConkie

"Well, do you want a wife? Do you want anything that’s right and proper? You go to work, and you use the agency and power and ability that God has given you. You use every faculty, you get all the judgment that you can centered on the problem, you make up your own mind, and then, to be sure that you don’t err, you counsel with the Lord. "

He also quoted the counsel of Alma to his son Helaman

"O, remember, my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God. Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support.” (Alma 37:35–36.)"

Once again, Heavenly Father do answers our prayers. I know what I need to do now. May all of us can “Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings" everyday. This I challenge all of you.

Job and me

Job 3

v23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

v24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

v25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

v26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

I know I'm not as righteous as Job in the Old Testament, but I do experience some trials recently. My Vice Principal, my reporting officer and me had a work conference yesterday. My VP feedback to me that she is not going to recommend me for my NIE traning as my spoken English is not up to standard. I need to submit my letter of resignation before she votes me out.

I woke up at 3.30 am this morning and start to search for comfort from the scriptures. So I read the Book of Job in Old Testament. I truely hope that I can have such strong courage, faith and trust on my Saviour as the prophet Job has. He said

v15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

v16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

At lease, I still trust God that all experiences that he granted me are for my good. I know he still listens to my prayer and he still guides me through his Holy Scriptures and his prophets. I know we are blessed to have local leaders here to guide us. They are like the three good friends of Job who counsel him when he was mourned and about to curse God.

We are going to have great stake conference in this weekend. May we come with preparation to receive our personal revelation to guide us in our life.

Choose This Day

"There is a danger in the word someday when what it means is “not this day.” “Someday I will repent.” “Someday I will forgive him.” “Someday I will speak to my friend about the Church.” “Someday I will start to pay tithing.” “Someday I will return to the temple.” “Someday."

--Henry B. Eyring, "This Day", Ensign, May 2007, 89–91

I still remember one of the Chinese Poem that my Primary School teacher taught us and it said...

明日复明日 tomorrow and tomorrow
明日何其多 so many tomorrow
事事待明日 everything wait for tomorrow
万事成蹉跎 all things will be delayed

One of the natural of humans characteristic should be laziness. Truly I am one of them. There are many goals that I set since I returned home from my mission last November. To my dismay, I didn't achieve many of them...

"All of us will need His help to avoid the tragedy of procrastinating what we must do here and now to have eternal life. For most of us the temptation to delay will come from one or both of two feelings. They are polar opposites: one is to be complacent about what we have already done, and the other is to feel overwhelmed by the need to do more. " - Pres Eyring

I just wish and pray that I can walk a mile more everyday in my journey back to my father in heaven to draw closer to him day by day. May all of us help ourselves and those we love so much by acting today...

Commitment to keep today
"Will you set a goal today for what to be improved tomorrow?"

I know he loves us and will help us along this path to "be like him"

Finding and Sharing the Gospel Online

I can't remember when was my last update in this blog. I just need to repent and commit myself again to be diligent in blogging.

After I read the article above in Ensign, I decided to do what I can to share with you something that I felt and thought in my daily life. I don't know who and why you are reading what am I writing now. I hope you can know God better through some of my sharing here.

Please feel free to leave a comment here so that we can communicate and exchange of ideas and seek for improvements in our lives. Thanks for your visit my dear brothers and sisters.
