Who Is My Best Companion?

Have you ever felt lonely?You probably have...

I used to feel loneliness.Until I realised that I have this companion who is ever with me.This companion always has my best interests at heart and always prevents me from falling into danger.

There are a number of instances where this companion protected me from trouble and made my many trips and outings very pleasant.I had found many good deals and enjoyed myself throughly everytime when this companion is with me.

At this time you may be wondering who is this companion...

Are you?

Well,how about giving an intelligent guess?

My wife?

My friends?

My family?

My brother?

You probably guess it's my wife.That's only half correct.True,my wife is a real blessing to me.I enjoy her company tremendously.But there are certain times when she's not around.

Well,this best companion is none other than...

My heavenly Father,the Almighty God.

Sounds pretty strange,I know.But it's the truth.He's my best companion.I wanted to share this for quite sometime.Until recently I felt the urge to share it.There are many Brothers and Sisters who have the impression that our Heavenly is a strict and stern disciplianarian(dunno if I spelt this correctly).

I used to think that way.Until one day,I came to realise that God is always looking out for our welfare.He's always wanting to bless us,always wanting to spend time with us,His children.His exceeding great love for us is limitless.

I'm sharing from personal experience because I think it's pointless to just say something without proof.One of the experiences was on the 30th June this year when I went to Kluang alone.It was a very blessed trip.There were many things which lead me to realise that God was guiding the whole trip.Refer to my entry on June 30th for more information.

The other times were during my trips to Penang.I didn't blog those because of time constraint.Let me share a few happenings there...

During my first trip,I didn't realise that the transport system in Penang was terrible.The bus services there were cock up.You never know if the buses are going to come.You can wait at the bus stop for 1 hour plus and the bus doesn't arrive.

At the end of the day,I had to take cabs to move around.I didn't realise that the cab fares there was so high.I panicked because the amount of money I brought along was quite limited.To make matters worse,the hotel collected 300 bucks deposit from me.

I ended up with around 100 bucks on hand.The cab rides cost around 25 bucks per ride.My hotel is located a distance away from the city area.I tried to walk,it took me 45 minutes to an hour.

Towards the end of the first day,I met this cab driver,Mamu at Komtar.Initially I wanted to go to Fort Cornwalls,but it was closed.Mamu recommended that I go to Batu Ferringhi.I agreed,but was considering due to the price.He told me not to worry,he'll give me a discount.

Throughout the journey,we became friends.He told me how difficult it is to make money as a cab driver.I empatised with him.At the end of the trip,he charged me a reasonable fare.I realised that I still had 300 bucks with the hotel.I told him to come and pick me up on the last day and bring me around Penang Island.

Since I had some extra cash,I can bless him with some business.He brought me to many different places on the island.I was indeed blessed.For that distance,I paid a more than fair price.

After that,whenever I went to Penang,I would call him up to pick me at Sungei Nibong bus terminus.

So what's God's role in all these happenings?I would say that I was blessed throughout the whole trip.Not only that one trip,all my 4 trips there were blessed.Even though I was alone,everything went very smoothly for me.He guided me to the places that were benefical to me.

Sometimes I worry over money,how to decide the best deal and other things like planning the different destinations to go to.Which order to go and etc...But I reality,I can just turn over everything to God.He will make sure things turn out for the highest good for me.

Let's talk about you...are you willing to let Him guide you?Not only in outings,but every area of your life.Now,I let Him guide me in every area of my life.And He has never let me down.

I'll like to leave you with this verse...

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.(Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

Be mightily blessed.Have a great weekend!

How To Manifest A Nintendo DS And PS 2 Dragon Quest VIII(Original)

Time files,it's December already.65 years ago today,the Japanese bombarded Pearl Harbour.You probably watched the movie a few years ago.The effects were good,but I didn't like the storyline.

Anyway,that's not our main topic today.

The main topic today is to share with you how I manifested a Nintendo DS(Pokemon Limited Edition) and Dragon Quest VIII(Original) for PS 2.

Sometime this month last year,I came across the book by Thomas Pauley and Penelope Pauley,the title is "I'm Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams,I Am I Am I Am".Now,you'll probably rush out and buy this book after reading this post.Or if you already have this book,you'll take the steps listed in it seriously.

What I did was very simple,I had this ring-binded notebook.I call it my "Dreams Notebook".In it,I listed everything I wanted.From catching certain movies to owning certain electronic gadgets,books and etc...

Just list out everything that I wanted.

I remember clearly that sometime in December last year,I wanted PS2 Dragon Quest VIII Original,because it came in a special box.At that time I didn't have enough budget to buy it.But I listed it out anyway.

Sunday 3rd December 2006.I went to Funan Center with my family as my brother wanted to buy ink cartridges.As I was travelling up the escalator,there was this urge within me.This instinct that told me that I should visit the game shop at level 3,that my Dragon Quest VIII is there waiting for me.

Now,I usually buy my PS2 games at Seow Choon Games Specialist or at Sim Lim Square.Sometime in June or July,I went to Sim Lim Square to buy Kingdom Hearts 2.I saw 1 last copy of Dragon Quest VIII left in the display case,but the condition was quite bad.

I decided not to buy it.I kind of given up on this game because I can't seem to find it anymore.

Until last Sunday,there was this urge within me that prompted me to visit the game shop at Funan Center.True enough,there was 1 last copy of Dragon Quest VIII there,waiting for me.It was completely sealed up.

The price was also great.Only 75 bucks.I asked around,the usual price is $85 and above.It was a great buy.

Morale of the story:Be patient even if things seem to be slow.Don't bother trying to figure out how you are going to buy it.

Next story is about my Nintendo DS.I had this intention to have one last December.But it was not on my priority list because I had more important things to buy.

But nonetheless,I still listed it out in my "Dreams Notebook".

Sometime in October this year,I went to Seow Choon's to buy Final Fantasy XII(Limited Edition) and I saw this Pokemon Limited Edition Nintendo DS.I fell in love with it.I knew I wanted it.But then I didn't have the budget for it.

I went home and wrote in my "Dreams Notebook".

Tuesday,I received some unexpected financial blessings.I remembered that I wanted a Nintendo DS and I went down yesterday to Seow Choon's to buy it.It was the last piece left.

I had forgotten that I specified I wanted the Pokemon Limited Edition in my "Dreams Notebook".I only remembered that I wanted a Nintendo DS.Only when I went through my "Dreams Notebook" yesterday that I realised what I had written down.

Hey,this stuff really works.I GURANTEE you.I'm a living example.

If you are really keen on buying this book,you can get it at Books Kinokuniya,main store at Ngee Ann City(Takashimaya).That is if you are staying in Singapore.If not you might want to visit www.richdreams.com .

Do share with me your success stories.I look forward to hearing from you.God bless.
