the Journey

Hey people

More about me - well, many of you must be wondering why Joel has not got into a college in US earlier like 2006 when finish my SPM and it nearly 2 years of like just bumming around. To tell the truth, i take this 2 years more like lfe lesson, it is in this two years i have learned how to be more closer with God and with the youth in Subang(woahoo). i think during that time God has mold me. Many of you know that i want to study in US, it is because my study that i want to take is not as good in US. what i want to study is Sports Science. And some of you must be thinking what is sport science, it is basically is a professional job which i can come out working as a physical education teacher, dietician or nutritionist, performance analyst,sports coach, sports therapist, fitness centre manager, sports administrator or retail manager of a sports store, physiotherapist and etc sports related. i really like sport a(basketball the top followed by the rest). But really what i want to do, is to be a Pro Basketballer. Is my dream for like forever. imagine with me. JPTYY wearing the number 8 jersey playing for some NBA team, playing for starting team as their shooting guard. 1st malaysian. average score 18.2, average assist 6.3 and average steals 2.5 and average rebound 2.1. He is one crazy player, does the big shots, big plays and hopefully he can dunk by then. Every time he is on court he bring a power and high energy. and after games or training, he goes to church to do his duty as a youth leader or a church leader, helping people to see the reality of God. Helping the poor with money he earns as a basketball player, building churches to be strong in the Word of God. that is JPTYY vision.

I was so high on this vision as bring a basketball player or studying sports science that i started to do it on my own strength and not on God strength. i know i told you that i was more closer to God. Yea, in devotion way, where i didnt give God all my life. So i was spiritually filled but i was emotionlly and energy dry. i thought i could use all my power to get to US and just finish of studies and quick start finding a job but God has withheld me back every time. So God has prove Himself right every time. That we cannot do anything or nothing with God in our hearts.

i when to seminar IBLP(Instituted of Basic Life Principles), which i have been before but since i been before they give free for people has gone for this seminar. is like you become a alumni. is very cool seminar(i encourage every one to go this seminar). it really build good christian character and value in yourself and also in your family. So i went for this and God has told me everything about my way of life, that i should change my life style to be spiritual centered, emotion around spiritual and then the body as the outer circle around the emotion. and it shouldn't be the other round. if it is then you are doing it in your own flesh. God everything and meant it everything

In the end, after the seminar, i prayer and seek God. i believe that God wants me to here for awhile, is like unfinish work. Also i'm going to study here, i'm still going to US(don't worry) but i'm going to do ADP(american degree program) for year but another but if God calls i will go. At the same time God is speaking to me and is about the youth in our church CBC subang. i do not want to say anything on this cos i feel it is sensitive. But i believe that God is calling in the youth ministry. Calling is time. i cant just take the ministry. i need to be grow and control by God. The youth has always been in heart, wanting to build character like responsibility, obedience , awareness, and many good character, also showing back to their parents as the mentor they should look at. i have many more idea for the youth but is not my time and hour for the youth yet is calling. So everything is for GOD, prayer and listen is all we need to do. Pray for me for direction and guidance.

that is all this post, keep in touch. need to improve my english crap!!!.

Enter the World of Joel Paul Toh Yeung Yi.

The sites and ground shake up because Joel has started a blog today. muahahahahah. But anyway, this blog is the where cbc people can come or outsides can come and enjoy the world of Joel has everyday(hoping to blog everyday).

Well to start things up. Let me begin by tell you how I got my name. It was before i was born, in the year 1987, it is when my dad went into full-time ministry, My dad took a week off to spend time with God. It is when God told him that he is going to have a son, and his name to be Paul. It's is like in Jeremiah 1:5 which reads, "before i formed you in the womb i knew you; before you were born i sanctified you; i ordained you a prophet to the nations." At the same time my mom knew that god was giving her a son. Joel was her specially reserved for me - like a prophet of God and Paul is my God-given name, as His apostle. So that is how i got my name Joel Paul. And yes, my Chinese name Yeung Yi means everlasting righteousness was given from my grandma.( i know some of you think that it means 'Easy'. Well, i thought it was 'Easy' till my grandma told me the real meaning. So thats how i got my name Joel Paul Toh Yeung Yi . i think is kinda cool also cos i can trick people into believing that i'm American or British when i don't tell them about my 'toh yeung yi part' haaaahhhahahah. call me J.P Toh Y.Y or J.P.T.Y.Y or Joel or Paul or YY or JP. but i prefer Joel =)


oh well that is all i have to say for this post. More coming soon
