BEAUTIFUL STORY OF DREAMS - - From June

Once there were 3 trees on a hill in the woods.

They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the 1st tree said, "Someday, I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems and be decorated with intricate carvings. Everyone would see my beauty."

The 2nd tree said, "Someday, I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of other world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."

Finally, the 3rd tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time, and people will always remember me."

After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. One came to the 1st tree and said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter," and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.

At the 2nd tree, one of the other woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree. I should be able to sell it to the ship yard." The 2nd tree was happy, because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.

When the woodsmen came upon the 3rd tree, the tree was frightened, because it knew that, if it cuts own, its dream would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don't need anything special from my tree, so I'll take this one," and he cut it down.

When the 1st tree arrived at the carpenter's, he was made into a feed box for animals, placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.

The 2nd tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end. The 3rd tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark.

The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams. Then one filtered day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth, and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.

Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose, and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he
stood and said "Peace," and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.

Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets, and the crowd mocked the man who was carrying it. The man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill.

When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.

The moral of this story is that, when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined.

We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always the best.

Sometimes the heart sees what the eyes can't..

From,
June

Preparing for Annual Camp!!!!




All the "leng chai" and "leng lui" took photo at Gunung Gading before start to survey a good campsite.... so many MOSQUITOES!!!

Want to post for a good shot... end up look like cicak gobeng...



Alex and Hang Nee not only survey the place, they want to be the model for Gunung Gading.... one mascot of Gorila and another one mascot of Cimpenzi...



After some discussion and thinking.... we decide to move our annual camp to Siar Beach... Gunung Gading too small for all of us... and also for Oliver not to scare of wild BEAST :)


The FIRST CLASS Logde at Siar Beach... Too expensive.... still praying whether we will have our annual camp here or not..... Pray hard.... :)


This is how it look like from outside.....


Beautiful sea behing the lodge :)


This is our second choice.... THE RED HOUSE.... just next to the FIRST CLASS LODGE...




The last one.... the most BUDGET one..... the modern long house!!! Next to the RED HOUSE.... Most probaly we will use this place for our ANNUAL CAMP :)


The seaside just in front of the long house :) Continue to pray for a good camp site for our Annual Camp...


Last destination before we went back.... we visited Alex's grandma and we prayed for her :)
She speaks Bahasa Malaysia and Iban so well!!!! Gosh......
