Heaven Is For Real!

I've been a Christian since 2004 and I've been told that I will go to heaven because I believe in Christ. To be frank, deep down, I always wonder if there really is heaven and if I will really meet Jesus there. It has always been a 'we'll see when I die' kinda thing to me. I didn't think of heaven as a wonderful place, especially since my family and friends are not yet saved. I thought heaven will not be heaven if I don't get to see them there. However, everything changed when I picked up this book yesterday!

As crazy as it may sounds, this little boy went to heaven and came back to tell of his little trip there. He tells of how our prayers are listened to and answered, of how heaven looks like, and of how much Jesus loves children! It's hard not to believe in heaven after reading this book! It brings me immerse joy and peace to know that, indeed, heaven is for real, and that my saviour, Jesus Christ, will be the first person to receive me in Heaven. The book talks about one last battle that is to come but the good news is that, Jesus will eventually win the battle! Seriously, what's there to fear, now that you've already know how things will turn out in the end? The only thing I have to do now, is to trust and keep praying for the salvation of my loved ones, for I long to be able to enjoy heaven with them. :)

'Heaven Is For Real' is a truly awesome and inspiring book to read, and I strongly recommend you to read it! Check out its website: http://heavenisforreal.net/ for more information!

'Slumdog Millionaire' a.k.a 'Q & A' is an awesome read. Though I took ages to finish the book, but I'm so so glad I bought it. At the beginning, it didn't seem so interesting, as compared to the movie. However, as the story progressed, I find myself being drawn into the world of Ram (that's Jamal for those who watched the movie), fascinated by the story behind each question/answer. I wonder how captivating the story will be if there was to be an exact depiction of it. (Danny Boyle changed quite a bit of the story).Hmm...

I'm happy to be reading once again.:)

Wow...I've not updated for so long! I didn't even know my blogskin is so gone. Haha. So, I've changed it to a much simpler and plain one. :)

Hmm. I think I've forgotten how to blog now, a bit rusty. Oh! There's something I want to say though. I'm done with reading Pastor Larry's book - " I never asked to be a pastor's kid " ! It's an awesome read. I feel so inspired after reading it, so amazed with what God has done in Pastor's life, and how he has faithfully followed God's plan to carry out his duties. Thank God he listened to the holy spirit, or else I wouldn't have found my spiritual family. I want to be a faithful child of God, with senseless faith, just believing in Him to guide me in my path, to do His will.

Last week, I failed my shooting test. I was so sad that I almost cried on the spot. I held in my tears, because I didn't want to cry in front of my squadmates. Plus, how can someone who wants to be a POLICE OFFICER cries just because she failed a test?! I was devestated, I have never failed anything in my training so far, and I daresay that I've been doing well. So, naturally, my ego was bruisd. However, I was immediately reminded of the book and I began to let go, realising that God has a reason for what He does. I began to thank God for letting me fail, for allowing this failed attempt to humble me. I trust that if it's meant to be, it's will happen. I was filled with peace after that. I was no longer sad. At the same time, one of my squadmate was telling us about her PDT, how she has gone for so many tests, yet she is still called back to retrain. She felt quite bad about it. Again, I start to realise that my situation's not that bad after all. I failed only once, but she has spent a few months retraining, but still has yet to clear the PDT test. Of course, I'm not trying to use her example to make myself feel better, but I felt that was a slap in my face, to make me stop complaining and wallow in my own misery.

A lesson learnt. :)
