Creative moves


I've been hooked on watching this tv show "So You Think You Can Dance". This is similar to American Idol, but the dance version. The techniques and versalitily required from the contestants of this show are very high. The creativity from the choreographers are awesome.

Being a dancer isn't easy. Though I'm not a professional dancer like they are, but I am involved in the dance ministry. So I've had a little taste of how it is to memorize the steps, let alone perfect the execution of each movement. It requires physical stamina. It requires passion, dedication. It requires a whole lot of TIME.

It is sad to say though that in the church, we as dance ministers do not maintain the same standards that the world demands. Those that are dancing for the Lord are more often willing to settle for mediocrity -- "because it is not a performance". True, but we forget that we are "worshipping" the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He deserves our best. He deserves excellence from us. Therefore, we ought to strive for more, to continually practice our craft so that we can be better each time.

Please don't get me wrong. I am well aware that a heart of worship is more important, but can you just imagine how "powerful" a dance ministry could be if a heart of worship is combined with excellent dance techniques (such as what you've seen in the video above) ignited with the Lord's anointing? Wow. This is my desire as a dance-worshipper. This is my vision. That is why I am never satisfied with where I am today. He whom much is given, much will be required. And my goal is to learn everyday (in all aspects technically and spiritually), to use what I have and continue to practice, so that God can cause an increase in the areas where I lack - to the praise and glory of His name.
Above are two dance routines from that I like... Please watch them. Enjoy.

A Recap of 2007

Image
Year 2007 is soon to be officially over in a couple of days. As I bid adieu to this year, I know that 2007 will definitely leave an indelible mark in my spirit. This year I have battled and fought, overcome and conquered the many obstacles that life brought my way. It all began in October 2006 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, an invasive ductal carcinoma stage 4 which at that time had already metastasized to her bones, lymph nodes and skin. But even this horrible news did little, if anything, to put me down. I knew there would be an uphill battle ahead of me, but I prepared myself. I put on God's full armor and held on to God's promises in His word as tight as I could. So as the year 2007 came rolling in, I was ready. My heart was expectant of the Lord's miracles to take place in my life and in my family. I even went as far as boldly declaring 2007, being a year ending with the perfect number 7, as the year of PERFECTION - a year when everything in my life w

- means "Happy New Year" in Chinese. Today is the first day of the lunar calendar, the Chinese New Year. New Year is the most important holiday for Chinese people. The celebrations usually lasts for 15-days complete with colorful traditions and lots of food symbolic of prosperity, abundance and good fortune for the year. Chinese culture is indeed one of the richest in the world – it is full of traditions and superstitions all rolled in one. The Chinese lunar calendar is pretty unique in that each year is marked by one of the 12 zodiac animal. Legend has it that lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from earth, and that only 12 came. So they were rewarded by having to rule a year, in the order that they arrived. It is believed that the animal ruling the year in which a person is born will have a profound influence on his/her personality because “ it is the animal that hides in his/her heart.” In the same manner, the animal and its personality

Breast Health

First of all, many thanks to my friend Conni for the information below. This is very important not just to me but to all the women out there. Are you doing a self-breast exam monthly, and seeing your OBGYN for a check-up yearly? After age 40 you should start getting screened for a mammogram and if you have a history of breast cancer (or any type of cancer for that matter), should be earlier than 40. Every time a woman gets her period, there are hormonal changes that occur in our body, our breasts swell up and when we don't get pregnant, of course the body's immune system does this wonderful thing of getting rid of that dead tissue in our breasts . But when our body doesn't all get rid of it due to some factors like diet (caffeine, bad fats, etc), stress (that's why we must exercise), then we get these calcified or dead tissues and some might form into lumps or cysts. A friend of Conni's shared with her an interesting story about her friend's sister, who after
