Asia Conference - Day 2

Finally, I have time to post!
Oh I tell you, this two days was PHENOMENAL!

On the 2nd day which is Thursday, I reached Expo Hall 8 by 8:15AM and the queue from Hall 8 reached all the way to the end of Hall 9, close to Hall 10 already!
I mean, oh my oh my! See how on fire these people are?!

At 8:15 AM the queue estimated close to a thousand! My friend Hanyong reached Expo Hall 8 at 7:30am and he is only in the middle of the whole queue. Wow. (O_O;)

But, I'm glad that in the end, I managed to get seats for 9:30AM Session #2 with Dr. Phill Pringle. We were all very touched by the way he moves in the spirit and we all prayed for many people that were representing their country that was there. We all believed that there would be a change in their lives and also their very own countries.

At 11.45AM, Dr. Ulf Ekman was taking Session #3.
I was very very sleepy but! The atmosphere was great.

When it was time for Lunch with Phil Pringle, we all didn't have the chance to get the food and seats, so we went out to buy food. How disappointing! BUT! We didn't lose heart, we quickly ran to queue for the next elective, Choosing The Right Partner In Life.

Oh man, it was amazing!

In Gen. 26:25, The bible order is always in this order: God - family - job.
Gen 2:20 it says that God gives each of us a marriage partner to help us and bless us in our walk with him.

Before the elective started, Pastor asked us to greet and have 3mins of chat with someone we do not know. I bet everyone at that moment had been thinking "could this be my right partner?"
O(≧∇≦)O

How do you know if a person can be a lifelong partner?

1. Physical Attraction.
Keep yourself FIT and HEALTHY.
Make effort to GROOM yourself.

Some proven facts:
a. People size each other up within the first 3 seconds of an encounter!
b. 55% of the first impression we make on others is based on our appearance.
c. Survey has shown that in job interviews, 75% percent of the decision to hire is based on our appearance. Not our qualifications or experience!
People tend to look outwardly first since the first impression would let the other person to know if you are trustworthy, wise, responsible or otherwise.

2. Communication Attraction.
Communication is the basis of life.
Communication is the basis of life in your relationship!

Communication is carried out in three ways:
a. By WORDS
b. By GUESTURES
c. By SPIRIT

Yes, by spirit too!

3. Spiritual Attraction.
3 Cs
a. Christian
b. Committed
c. Compatible

We are not perfect, so don't expect to find a perferct partner!

There is a short story that Pastor shared with us.
There is this lady, one day she went to a new shop called, THE HUSBAND SHOP.
She got excited and went in it quickly.

On the first level of the shop, there were many men on sale to become a husband.
There was a sign board on the first level and it says, "These men have a job."

The lady thought to herself, at least they have a job, not like my ex that does not have one.
She became curious when she saw that there is a second level and quickly went up to the next level. But, there was a rule. Its that you can't go down after you go up. (maybe there is only an esscalator for going up)

On the second level of the shop, the sign board says, "These men have a job and they earn big money." The lady exclaimed, "WOW!". She was very excited as these men on the second level was better than those on the first. She thought to herself, 2nd level better than 1st level, I wonder whats on the 3rd!

So she went up again. The sign board on the 3rd level says, "These men have a job, earn big money and love kids"
"WOW!" again, exclaimed the lady. This time, she thought to herself, if the 3rd level is better than the 1st and 2nd, why not go up further to get a better one?

Yep, she went up to the 4th level of The Husband Shop. The sign board on the 4th level says, "These men have a job, earn big money, love kids and love doing housework."
The lady got all excited and proclaimed, "THIS IS THE ONE I WANT!"
They love kids, earn big money and are domestic men! These can help her with her housework at home so she can slack all day.

But the lady thought to herself, if the 4th level is better than all those below, why not go up another to find a even better husband?
YES! She went up again to the 5th level.

This time, the sign board says, "These men have a job, earn big money, love kids, love doing housework and they are very romantic."
Wow! This time the lady got full of herself and shouted, "They are perfect!"
But, she thought to herself, if the 5th level is so much better than those below, why not go up again?

Yes again, she went up.
However, she was surprised and shocked when the sign reads, "You are the 32897423658726356238562875826th Woman on this level, searching for a perfect man when there is none."
