@joy n lynard home
Got there, brought some klengkeng.. Had some delicious fetucini pasta n chicken for our dinner.. thanks to Joy! then we sang together a song from hillsongs.. Watching a video where pastor Dave taught us about 2nd commandment.. really happy to get to get 2know this couple: joyful Joy & loving Linard, christian Christine n reasonable Retno.
Us: brainy Brian & pretty Pei Pei :p
1st commandment:
“I am the LORD your GOD, who rescued u fr the land of Egypt…. You must not have any other god but me”
Love Your GOD with all your heart. 1st priority. Responsibility: need to be passed on through generations. If we love GOD it means we will obey GOD’s commands.
Key words: Love n obey
My prayer:
dear LORD help us to prioritize You in our life. i want to love You, i want to obey You. i praise n worship You!!!
we want to love n live according to Your words.
2nd commandment:
You must not make for urself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens or on d earth or in the sea. u must not bow down to them or worship them, for I the LORD your GOD, am a jealous GOD.
GOD is jealous GOD
Worshipping Him is for our own benefit.
HE is our source of strength.
True way of worshipping Him is to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Stone, wood or metal can not be used to make a representation of our living GOD. Do not put limit on Him.
Key word: worship, spirit n truth
it’s really a blessing to know little Ysaiah. If we ask her “where’s Jesus?” she will tell “Jesus is in my heart”
and she will point by her hands n her mom will say “In your armpit??” she will say “no!! in my heart!!”
so true!! thank You Jesus, that u want to be with us, You live in our heart.
Lately when u ask darren, “Darren where is Jesus??” He will say “Jesus is in my heart!”
5th commandment:
Honor ur parents.. as parents we hv to discipline our children.
Sometimes i feel bad about me not being a patience mom for darren. looks like darren not happy with me. he’s about 3-years-old.. sometimes he cries a lot@his sleeps.. when he awakes he cries. Time out is good for him. Today after taking a late nap @4pm, 5 pm he woke up n cried. Long time crying without reason. But stop after i told him to stand up in d corner. Don’tknow the reason of his crying but im not able to sleep now.
This is not good for me. I don’t want ended up like mami who needs sleeping pills to go to sleep.
Why i don’t hv a good time n i feel im not capable to love. M i in the darkness?
dear LORD i need ur help. i repented really, i promise will be more patience with darren.. need ur guidance n big HELP!
Related with this one i remember i hv sinned when hating mom n dad when i was in junior high school. The feeling of unfairness still there. Should forgive my mom n treat her good from now on regardless of whatever she did to me. Should be grateful i hv grandma as my parents who has raised me up. I should pay more attention to her..

Do not commit adultery. Adultery means not just physical contact but also include emotional n other things that keeps us away from having quantity n quality time with our spouse n fam.
Key word: have to ask forgiveness from GOD to heal relationships with our spouse
Oct 18
4th commandment
Remember to observe the Sabbath day
Key words: a command from GOD to get some rest after 6-working-days, to rejoice n have fellowships with GOD and with one another in the family, to have faith in Him that He will provide our every needs. As a reminder GOD has set us free from the slavery in Egypt.

8th commandment: Do not steal
Talked about different kind of stealing
we are to spend our time accordingly. There’re time to do our job, there’re time to be with our fam.
There are times as employer u should treat ur employees right, if u hv underpaid them u hv stolen from them.
There are times u might forget u hv borrowed something n not yet returned it, hv to return things u hv borrowed fr people
Eph 4:28
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that may hv something to share with those in need.
GOD commands us to work, instead of stealing, n to be generous to those in need.

6th commandment: “do not murder”
Thought i passed this command because i have not n never killed anyone. Yet our discussion go through a deeper meaning. What else can be killed except living creatures?
how many times hv we killed our relationships by using angry words n felt bitterness..
Marriage life ended up with divorce because of unresolved conflicts, because they silently hate each other in their heart.
then pastor Dave taught us these 4 practical steps for reconciliation:
1. Say “i was wrong”
2. Say “i am sorry”
3. Say “i will never hurt u again”
4. ask for forgiveness “will u forgive me?”
The key word is ‘reconciliation’ !!!!
Jesus is our Great reconciler, cause He has died for our sins.
Do not sin when u’re angry.
In your anger do not sin
Don’t speak when u’re angry, don’t email when u’re angry, don’t make decision when u’re angry
Prayer Lists:
-that we would control our own anger
-that we hv d humility to ask for forgiveness
-that we can commit not to do d same ever again
-ask Jesus to heal our relationships n that He will give us grace to forgive those who hv hurt us
- pray that our fam would be an instrument of healing, that we would bring reconciliation into all our relationships.
This commandment is a very good one for me for sometimes i lost my temper.. :p
The good things from darren, he can reminds me not to get angry.. :p if i started to use angry words 4 his father he will say : “ma, jangan marah2 dong…” n give me his cute smile.
I will try to accept things @home. I hv a good husband but he’s not attentive enough to put his towel back after use..etc. what shall i do now?? it’s been 77 times i think.
Last nite darren ate his ice cream n his fav biscuits n he said: “mmmmm.. yummy!!!
” with his cute expression
he has grown up so fast n so smart!! Thank GOD that we have him..

10th commandment
Do not covet. Antidote for covetousness:
- Godliness: seek d kingdom of GOD above all else n live righteously n HE will give u everything u need
- contentment: i can do everything through Christ who gives me strength!
Godliness+contentment=wealth
- balance: need to see clearly not just what we don’t hv but what we hv that we can share with others who need it.
- thankfulness: don’t worry about anything. Instead pray about everything. Tell God about what u need n thank Him for all HE has done. Then u will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. HIS peace will guard ur hearts n minds as u live in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7
1.11.11 life group – thanks to God for our brothers n sisters in Christ.
9th commandment: you must not testify falsely against ur neighbour.
Tell d truth. Witholding d truth is d same as not saying d truth. Do not speak harsh words, gossiping or slandering..Only state the facts without using angry words. Point to d problem n how to get it solved, be more specific.
Avoid saying negative destructive words to ur own fam: ‘i hate u’ etc because that’s considered falsely witness against ur own fam!

Lifegroup, 8-10pm Joy has prepared sharing material about FAITH- from worry to worship.
Homework: read Habakuk. “The righteous will live by his faith.”
Step of how do we walk by faith n to have Faith:
- pray: be honest n humble in prayer, let ur request be made known to GOD. Pray consistently n persistently!!!
- process: listen, look from GOD’s perspective–> read bible, wait upon the LORD
- praise: rejoice, give thanks n worship GOD. Stop grumbling, stop complaining.
attitude:
-don’t give up!!!!!
-live by GOD’s promises! HE may not give explanation but HE gave His promise.
His promise to me: “i will never leave you nor forsake u”
-positive surrender, believe HE will not withhold something that is good from us. if HE did not answer our prayer, believe that HE will give us other things even better than what we hv asked for!
Nov 10
I don’t know why n the reason i did a positive action in my surrender to Him. because i know HE is there for us when we’re down.
Trying my best to explain.. i hope im doing d right thing..
