The Executive Retreat (ER) from Daniel Lim's perspective
God is AWESOME!
That’s all I can say!
The last weekends (25-27 September) had been a life-changing moments. More than one time, my spirit burst out joy and wonders as I hear people sharing the supernatural and life-changing stories God has done.
A former death-row inmate turned into a new-born pastor
A former drunkard, violent husband and dad, turned into a man who could shed tears of repentance on stage when he recap how bad he treated his children and wife
A former proud and dangerous military man who led a military havoc in Philippine year 2003 called “Oakwood Mutiny” turned into a humble servant of God
A hateful man whom brother was killed, turned into someone who is willing to forgive, and share the love of Jesus with that very man who killed his own brother.
A man who used to own almost everything a man wants in the world, yet lost it all over night, humbled, and decided to live right for God, surrendered to Jesus, and God lifted him up again.
Jesus changes lives! You may think that money, position, military power or any other human efforts can change lives, like the men I mentioned above, yet they failed. Now they understood:
We can only live a new life in Jesus, and no where else. That’s why they are bold to stand up for Jesus, because they witnessed what Jesus did to them, and changed them
I thank God for every moments spent in Executive Retreat. I enjoyed working with influencial Executives who desire to know God, and please God and God alone in their lives. My heart is thankful as I see God is working in mighty and powerful ways!
Most of all, I am excited about journeying with a God whom no one could stop Him from doing great and mighty works wherever He wants, and that I am part of this wonderful plan.
Ambassador Elizabeth P. Buensuceso is the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Philippines to Scandavania (Norway, German and Iceland). Her conviction to be an ambassador for Christ touched me deeply.
To me, she is more like a missionary than an ambassador. She always say that her job is to bring Gospel to everyone she come in touch with, and her "other job" is to be a diplomat. Her life impacted me to see our primary calling as Ambassador of Christ, and secondly, our identity on earth.
Rev. & Mrs. Peter Tan-chi, the founder of Christ Commission Fellowship in Manila. Their humility and vital relationship with God tell me that the greatest asset a person can have is that genuine love towards God and towards people around them. His simplicity in delivering the messages of God also leave long-lasting impact in my mind.
Formerly a military man, notable professor in military school of Philippine, a would-be general of Philippine, laid down everything and follow where God wants him to be- -start all over, and be a full time missionary with Philippine Campus Crusade for Christ.
Geri/Geraldo Gembala. Don't undemine this physically small guy. He was former Philippine military man, fought 8 years of endless Philippine sounthern border war, and was the leader who led a group of 321 armed soldiers who called themselves "Bagong Katipuneros", held their country "hostage" for 24 hours on July 27, 2003, in an event commonly called "Oakwood Mutiny". He met Jesus in prison, and his life is transformed. My aquaintance with him was wonderful, and you can 'smell' the humility of Christ in him! He is now serving with PCCC Leader's Movement, as a staff ministering mainly to the military of Philippine, and worldwide.

These were only some of the people whom life had been transformed by Jesus Christ. There are more people who joined the Executive Retreat have met Jesus Christ in special ways too! Their lives are beautiful, and I was ministered by God deeply as I see their lives.
I too, want to live such a life that is worthy of God’s grace- – His transforming, freely-given and eternal grace.

A story from Jeremy's blog
A Story to live by There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.
'有一位瞎女很討厭自己因為眼睛瞎了。她也討厭每個人，唯一不討厭的是她的男朋友，因為他都常守在她身旁。於是她對她的男朋友說：「如果能讓我看到這個世界，我愿意嫁給你！」
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
有一天，有人捐了一對眼精給她。當紗布解開時，她能夠看到一切，包括她的男朋友。
He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
男朋友問她：「現在你可以看到這世界，你愿意嫁給我嗎？」那女孩看了男朋友是個瞎子，他那對蓋上眼皮的眼睛嚇到了她，這是她無法想像。她想：要我嫁給他而一生對着他這個樣子，我無法接受。
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'
於是，她的男朋友很傷心的離開她，幾天後寫了字條給她：「親愛的，請你好好照顧你的眼睛，因為它不是屬於你的之前，它是屬於我的。」
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.
這也是人的腦會如何做當情況有所變動。只有少許人會記得他或她之前的生活及誰會在身旁當他或她處在困境的時候
Life Is a Gift
生命是一份禮物
Todaybefore you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.今天，當你要講一句不善之言－－請想想那些無法講話的人
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
當你要埋怨食物的味道時－－請想想那些沒有食物吃的人
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion..
當你要埋怨你的先生或太太時－－請想想那些在向上天哭訴要一個伴侶的人Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.
今天，當你要埋怨生活時－－請想想那些太早離開人世間的人
Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
當你要埋怨小孩時－－請想想那些渴望小孩而無能生育的人
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
當你要爭論沒有人清理屋子時－－請想想那些住在街邊的人
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
當你在哀訴駕駛的路程－－請想想那些同樣的路程以代步的人
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job..
當你很疲備而埋怨工作時－－請想想那些無工作，殘疾的，及那些多麼希望擁有你這份工作的人
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
當你想要指著人或互相譴責時－－請記得沒有一個人是無罪
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.
當壓抑的念頭讓你無法振作時－－請你笑一笑想想：你還活著存在世間！============ ========= =====
I PRAY THIS MOVES AROUNDTHE ENTIRE UNIVERSE....
我祈禱這訊息能夠繼續傳至全人類............ ..

Change! Change! Change! what do you mean?
Where change begins
There's a popular opinion that says followers resist change and leaders like change. That's not true at all. Most of the time, leaders like changes only if the changes were their idea! Very few people prefer change, for the simple reason that change requires more work than maintaining the status quo.
If we are going to change an organization, we must begin by changing ourselves. Change is not a once and for all kind of thing - if only it were that easy. No, changing ourselves is a lifelong process. Not only that, but we must be intentional about how we want to change. I have found that:
1) When you change your thinking, you change your beliefs.
The following strategy has been particularly effective in helping me bring about change in my thinking. I've trained myself to think in ways that are:
* Positive - This allows me to look for the best and receive the best.
* Creative - This allows me to find answers when others quit looking.
* Bottom line - This allows me to prioritize and get rid of busy work.
* Simple - This allows me to communicate my thoughts to everyone.
* Practical - This allows me to apply principles to everyday life.
* Continual - This allows me to assimilate everyday experiences into projects that are "on the table."
2) When you change your beliefs, you change your expectations.
Belief is the knowledge that we can do something. It's the inner feeling that what we undertake, we can accomplish. For the most part, all of us have the ability to look at something and know whether or not we can do it. So in belief there is power: our eyes are opened; our opportunities become plain; our visions become realities. There are two fundamental beliefs we must have before we begin to see changes. First, that change is possible. Second, that change is profitable. Until we believe that both are a possibility and that the change will ultimately be in our best interests, our ability to change is crippled.
I also believe:
- God has a plan for me.
- God wants me to fulfil that plan.
- God will help me succeed in that plan.
- I can know God's plan for my life.
- I can experience God's blessing on my life.
- I must change to grow with God's plan for my life.
- When I grow, those closest to me grow as well.
- When my inner circle grows, my organization grows.
We will continue to explore how changing the leader precedes any kind of organizational change. Until then, invest the time necessary to explore those areas of your life where you are resisting change. You may just discover the roadblock in leading the change process at work.
This message is from Dr. John C. Maxwell.

A little Story to Cheer you up!
在一場船難中，唯一的生存者隨著潮水，
漂流到了一座無人島上。
The only survivor of a shipwreckwas washed up on a small, uninhabited island.
他天天激動地祈禱神救他 能夠早日離開此處，回到 家鄉。他還每天注視著海上有否可搭救他的人，但卻是除了汪洋一片，什麼也沒有。
He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him,and every day he scanned the horizon for help,but none seemed forthcoming.
後來，他決定用那片帶他到小島的木頭造一個簡陋的小木屋以保護他在這險惡的環境中生存，並且保存他所有剩下的東西。
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hutout of driftwood to protect him from the elements,and to store his few possessions.
但有一天，在他捕完食物後，準備回小屋時，突然發現他的小屋竟然陷在熊熊烈火之中，大火引起的濃煙不斷向天上竄。
But then one day, after scavenging for food,he arrived home to find his little hut in flames,the smoke rolling up to the sky.
最悲慘的是：他所有的一切東西，在這一瞬間，通通化為烏有了。悲痛的他，氣憤的對天吶喊著：「神啊！你怎 么可以這樣對待我！」頓時，眼 淚 從他的眼角中流出。
The worst had happened; everything was lost.He was stunned with grief and anger."God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.
第二天一早，他被一艘正靠近小島的船隻的鳴笛聲所吵醒。是的，有人來救他了。Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island.It had come to rescue him.
到了船上時，他問那些船員 說：「你怎麼知道我在這裡？」
"How did you know I was here?"asked the weary man of his rescuers.
因為我們看到了信號般的濃煙。」他們回答說。
"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
人在碰到困難時，很容易會沮喪。不過，無論受到折磨或者痛苦，都不用因此失去信心，因為神一直在我們心裡面做著奇妙的工作。
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives,even in the midst of pain and suffering.
記著：當下一次你的小木屋著火時，那可能只是神美妙恩典的表 徵而已。Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the groundit just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.
在所有我們所認為負面的事情，神都是有正面答案的。
