Still I will sing to you

This is surely a season of change. Time to grow and learn from pains and hardship. Time to trust God that His plans are good. There is time for everything. And now is the time to put faith into actions.

Anger is a bitch. Don't feed it, don't play with it, don't entertain it. Sometimes people can say the stupidest things which they'll regret right after, or a day after they've been in contact with anger. But it doesn't define who am I nor does it degrades me nor will it make me have a perception of myself that is not real; or at least anger tries to get you to believe so. Just taking a look at how God sees us will really give us perspective on who we really are, and what we're capable of when we're faced with 'anger' or the consequences of it. Everyone has a choice, God has given us the freewill to choose. And we can choose to either Feed and Entertain Anger, or we could take a fair look at the real situation and either be upset but not sin, if the situation is upsetting, that is; if you take a look at it clearly and realize that it's not upsetting, then don't choose to be upset. Don't choose to let your ego come in and be upset for n...

There are too much to worry about in this life we live in today. Some are worth pondering upon, some are just pointless to dwell on. Ecclesiastes 7:14 (NIV) 14 When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future. (The Message) 14 On a good day, enjoy yourself; On a bad day, examine your conscience. God arranges for both kinds of days So that we won't take anything for granted. (NLT) 14 Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life. Our future is so uncertain. Anything can happen tomorrow. But as for today, lets be grateful and thank God for it. Nothing is certain in this life we live in. Put your trust, security and find your identity in Christ and let the truth set you free. -As I put my sense of security and identi...

To be loved and to love - By God and one another. Love Is the Greatest: 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

I guess I came from a place where serving God is vital in my Christian walk. And there are many perceptions of God that I have that is currently being challenged. One of them is "Will God give or ask us to serve in an area we really don't enjoy and don't like doing - [in the context of ministry]?" -There is a part of me that thinks well, maybe... But wouldn't God give us the 'extra' grace to actually do it for 'that moment' in time where it's needed? Coz why do I feel sometimes that I am striving to 'serve God'? Shouldn't it be enjoyable?? Am I just going through the motions of serving because I wana keep things going to just keep the ministry alive? -Coz there are times when I experience the grace of God for me to serve in a certain ministry without feeling 'burdensome' and it gives me much satisfaction and fulfillment as well. I feel like I'm within the boundaries of grace that God has enabled me to work in. But I do b...

What is this called love? That sent You to the cross, For my sins You died, And paid the ransom price. Can I understand? This love so rescuing, Truly I am free, For all eternity...

I love this show. I love happy endings. I love how it's all so ideal. And for things to be so simple and cheerful. I love the One who created all these wonderful, beautiful surreal stories. I'd love to be in a story like that. I love how it all just works out. How people can just abandon everything for love. I love it when people speak good English. I'm such a sucker for sappy movies. I'd love to have a holiday. *Dam it, I feel like a 10 year old kid!! But am loving it!! Whoo hoo.... =P

I should consider changing my profile picture... (random thought) 7 of us met at Reuben's place last Monday just to worship, pray and chill out together. It was a great time together with God and one another. I felt very relaxed in God's presence and with one another. And I also felt the peace and joy of God throughout the time there. We had a good time eating pizza (especially when it's free), thanks Reub. And to top it all, with Ai May's superb Brownies!! Just made my day... I'm looking forward in excitement for the next time we can meet again like that. Sooo good... Been thinking about some things lately and as I turn to the bible this sentence struck a chord in me. I think it's C#minor. No... it's "Blessed are those who trust in the Lord." Makes a whole lot of sense to me at this point in time where I can do something but it will probably just make things worst, or I can just trust Him in my situation. Knowing what to do (which is to trust Him)...

Your Birthdate: October 16 You're incredibly introverted and introspective. You live inside your head. You spend a lot of alone time meditating and thinking. People see you as withdrawn, and at times they are right. You are caring and deep, but it may be difficult for you to show this side of yourself. Your strength: Your original approach to thinking Your weakness: You tend to shy away from others Your power color: Pale blue Your power symbol: Wavy line Your power month: July What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

"Rest is sometimes the most spiritual thing you can 'do'." God's grace is just so so amazing. It's so important to know what grace means. Without grace, we just end up striving and going through life, restlessly. I know I did. Just living my life as a 'perfectionist' by nature, really makes me agitated easily when things are not as I think it suppose to be. Plus the fact that I really hate making mistakes in life, just makes me want to achieve 'perfection' even more. But God brought across a different perspective in looking at things/situation/people. God taught me 'grace'. As easy as it may sound, I am just experiencing a glimpse of the full picture of God's grace in my every day life. The grace not to 'do', do and do more... But the grace to know that I'm not here to do everything. The grace to accept my inability, imperfection and the importance of my total dependence on Him. God's grace is sufficient . And it...

Just looking at people the way God looks at them changes what we see and perceive about them. When that takes place, we see a person according to how God sees him/her, and the best part is when we begin to treat them as who they are in Christ, the way Christ sees them and treats them [ refer to Who Am I from previous post]. Sometimes, who we think/perceive we are might just be a little distorted from who God really sees us as. Plus, it is really encouraging to see people shaping to be more and more like Christ. What's the best and also the worst part of it all is, we get to play a part in the transformation of people's lives, be it for the better or for the worst. I think it's good to give a little bit more emphasis now on 'how powerful our words are'. Something called "character assassination" is frequently found in our every day chatters easily distinguished by the fruit of our lips. Something so subtle like gossips about others can cause severe misconc...

It's a new year and a new start to life. Just a couple of things I've learned and am still learning. A Matter of Trust Firstly I just came back from Cambodia. It was a great 6 weeks there with the kidz, with Steve and with Reuben. I believe God 'took the opportunity' to mould me while I was there =P . I had loads of fun while I was in Cambodia. Teaching the kids guitar and just being able to share life for a short period of time with them is refreshing. When I was there in Kratie, the highlight was really the simplicity of life. If there's one word I can sum up my trip to Cambodia it will be "priceless". And if there's one general theme to what God's been teaching me throughout the trip is [Trust in Him]. Trust is one of the foundation to any growing and healthy relationship. It is a vulnerable foundation coz once it is broken, it's really hard to build it back again. Trusting God is always easier said than done. When you don't see the logi...

A normal day at the orphanage with kids of various ages playing together in the center was how it all started. The center was my home, I was there when I was a baby left to the caretaker by my parents whom I never knew or saw. I grew up knowing that I was abandoned and thinking that my parents hated me or made a 'mistake', that brings me to where I am now. So I thought my life was just going to end like this. Just another meaningless and mundane life. Though in festive seasons like Christmas or Easter, there will normally be a bunch of people from churches that come to visit us, giving us gifts and doing lots of fun stuff together. I enjoyed those times very much. But those are but temporary recreation that will not last a day or two. Occasionally, there will be some couples who will come by the center looking for a child they can adopt as their own. So we all will line up in two rows and give our biggest smiles and try to look good so that they will take notice of us. There we...

I think I'm going to miss alot of things. 40 days is quite a long time. I think I'm gonna miss the food here most!!... *thinks for a while* No la, I think friends will come to mind first before food, followed by family. xD~ (but of course, family comes first!) *Grins* Going to take a few jab'S' [meaning --> big needles = *ouch*. But it's not as bad as a cockroach crawling on me... EeekkKk... But if the needle is really big and painful then it's almost as bad as 2 cockroaches clawling on me!!] Still in the debate with God why did He created Cockroaches?!?! *&#^)$@& P.E.S.T!!!! What I would like to do in Cambodia: *grins* 1. Read the Bible 2. Read the book Drawing Near - By John Bevere 3. Write songs 4. Learn to be more independant 5. Kick Reub unconsciously while I'm asleep ;P
