just my thots..
we know the facts abt Him, but sometimes we can lose focus on Him. This is because everything we say is knowledge, is no longer from the heart. This is the time, i feel, should hang on to God. Having that simple faith to trust in Him and to hold on tight, to never let go.
We can give excuses to run away, even though we know what we should do.
when Jesus walked down death walkway to die on the cross for us, He did not give excuses, He did it out of obedience.
indeed, it is a hard battle, but you are not fighting this alone! Deu 31:8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you... You have the Lord going through this period with You. when you cant feel it in the heart, pray and ask for a renewed heart. (: believe. to me, you can lose the passion but never lose sight of God.
last night, i was reminded that QT is not necessary the reading of the bible, it can be simply prayer to commune with Him. If your heart cannot commit to reading, perhaps take a small step by working on prayers first. (:
and i thought of this song, guess i posted it before. (:
Trust His Heart
Written by: Babbie Mason and Eddie Carswell
All things work for our good
though sometimes we can’t see how they could.
Struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blind us to the truth.
Our Father knows what’s best for us;
His ways are not our own.
So, when your pathway grows dim,
and you just can’t see Him,
Remember He’s still on the throne.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don’t understand,
when you don’t see His plan,
When you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart.
He sees the Master plan.
He holds the future in His hands.
So don’t live as those who have no hope.
All our hope is found in Him.
We walk in present knowledge,
but He sees the first and the last.
And like a tapestry, He’s weaving you and me
to someday be just like Him.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don’t understand,
when you don’t see His plan,
When you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart.

Today's meditation
When the Lord speak, do i hear?
am i still to listen to what He has to say to me?
has my heart been still and to keep a lookout for Him?
He has been there, i know, but do i seek Him?
reminder: (myself as well as the others) God should be fundamental. (:
realised time has been passing fast... we are coming to the end of feb & CNY gonna be over. it felt like yesterday i just celebrated the entering of 2008. (:
today's meditation allows me to reflect on my weekly activites. day in day out, i will be busy with something. though work took up most of my week, i still have time for the others. i can foresee more coming. whenever in times like this, i wonder why i can give time for other stuff but yet left so little for the Lord. i should have an ETWG soon. (:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assignments are here to haunt me again... (:
this week OB down.. and SBA will be next..
but this week is only 1000 words essay, by right it shouldnt be that tough i guess but is abt squeezing the idea into 1000 words that is difficult ba.. elisa said 1000 words she did it in a day.. for the past weekend i only have half a day each..
one thing i am thankful for is my new laptop! (: i got it on last sat which makes proj easier. in addition, the softwares are already installed! am really thankful for that. thanks law for the time put in too!
me and ying had the 1st CE, played Saboteur with them. thanks to sok i managed to get the game. playing with different grps is so diff, girls here are more predictable whereas playing with the drill peeps, i am predictable to them... urgh! cos i simply cant bluff, yeah too innocence a face... anyway hope they enjoyed and pray for more great time to come. (: i am encouraged by their expectation of the grp as well, majority said to see a relationship build in this grp and to know God deeper. thank God for this desire they have. (:
and yesterday, the usual clicks had dinner at my place ever since a long time. thanks elisa for coordinating! am really not in the mood to do the liasing, i know u are pms-ing but thankful u did it in the end! (: love ya to the max la...
yeah and is 5 days left....

PRAYER FOR A FRIEND - CASTING CROWNS
Lord I lift my friend to You.
I've done all that I know to do.
I lift my friend, to You.
In complicated circumstances with clouded view.
Lord I lift my friend up to You.
I fear that I won’t have the words that he needs to hear.
I pray for Your wisdom , oh God.
And a heart that's sincere.
And Lord I lift my friend up to You.
Lord I lift my friend to You.
Though he's my best friend in the world,
I know he means much more to You.
I want so much to help him,
but this is something he has to do.
Lord I lift my friend up to You.
There's a way that seems so right to him.
But You know where that leads.
He's becoming a puppet of the world.
Too blind to see the strain.
And Lord I lift my friend up to You.
Lord I lift my friend to You.
I've done all that I know to do.
I lift my friend, to You.
the words in this song has been ministering to me.
been thinking about it ever since i heard it, i wonder how often do i actually pray for my friends.
alot of friends came to mind when i was thinking of the lyrics, nice song indeed.
since on the topic of frens, i made a new sec 1 friend last mth. only spoke to her on msn but i have nv met her. well going to tml since heading back to SHS. interesting. when i knew her, she asked me alot about myself, whether i like praise and worship, whether i love talking to God (prayer), and church and all. i am amazed by the faith she has especially at such a young age! i truly thank God for her. because when she asked, it was like a checklist for myself. (: and she love prayers as much as singing praises, simply because she love to talk to GOd. such a wonderful girl. (: is this considered simple as well? i guess so.. (: i thank God for how our paths crossed.
okie and elisa is leaving next sat! that's sad... for her... haha...
well, thank God for the technology so we can still hear each other. oh i love the bookmark btw, and i told her i bought a card for her. yeah, shall only give her on that day! dont be too touch and cry, cos i am not bringing bucket with me. (:
oh! i am getting my lappy today! (: that's fast.. and i gonna have a high creditor!
(at work, we have 60days credit terms with my creditors btw) alright just kidding...
guess due to the lunch.... had a not-so-bad and a far lunch with elisa and law.

Happy Valentine's Day! (:
overlooking the sea, makes me envy with the speedboats and yatchs...
i am tired & sleepy. sent sze off early this morning, woke up at 3am! am glad i went, guess is too early in the day, cousin & viv were too cranked up as well. oh and janice came.. (:
be prayerful for sze, the trip will take her a long day, probably she will reach at night.
sometimes i wonder, what if God calls me for mission and going alone?? hmmm... i prefer accompany, can i tell Him that? (: talking abt this reminded me of the children in thailand, i missed din and don. well... kor shared with me he gonna strive to be financially free in the next 3 years and plant church in Africa.. woot! amazed... means i should save and visit him when i can (:
today's meditation is taken from Romans 8:28
"... in everything, God works for the good..."
Max Lucado presented this rather interestingly, the emphasis is on 'everything' hence, replace it by things in your life. For me, that will be..
In life, God works for the good.
At school, God works for the good.
At Work, God works for the good.
At home, God works for the good.
indeed, it is to focus on the heavenly perspective of God then to dwell in our worldly thinking. and God works for the good of those who love and trust in Him. hence, what ever situations we meet, it has a purpose. we will know in God's time. 2 words summary: Trust & Faith

i have been thinking abt my new lappy.. not that i have gotten but am still deciding.
initially was browsing ard apple.com and kinda attracted by mac. but see, i am not one who focus only on outlook appearance, inner beauty counts!
played cards with eileen and elisa till 5am on friday..
jac cant take it... decided to catch some nap..
some photos taken during BS on eve of CNY...
supper at Yong He.
initially was browsing ard apple.com and kinda attracted by mac. but see, i am not one who focus only on outlook appearance, inner beauty counts!
my criteria are simple - durable and cheap cheap! (: lightness and appearance i consider them as value-addedness. many i asked told me to just take mac - that's it. hmmmm.... but they gave me funny reasons to convince me:
colleague - "you got the mac look - aka one who goes for something that is nice and stylish"
(wont be surprised, since another colleague said before i look like a punk to her -.- oh no.. i am not btw)
colleague - "you got the mac look - aka one who goes for something that is nice and stylish"
(wont be surprised, since another colleague said before i look like a punk to her -.- oh no.. i am not btw)
alicia - "you wouldn't want to change once you get used to mac"
others - "is nice!"
ELISA (this is funny and the most irritating to me i guess ^_^) - "you have the tai-tai look, can imagine u sitting in a cafe and click here and there like a tai-tai" & "mac has the drooling factor"
oh no... she is spoiling my image for sure to call me that. i dunch wanna the name tai-tai neither do i like tai-tais, that is wasting my life heh. what a friend i have to say that! haha, you can carry ur own baggages *hint* -wont get angry with you, just having seconds thought of driving you ard- (:

okie...
5 days of rest... back to work tml. time passed so fast when u are enjoying yourself.
started with supper on tue night with ting and law... then managed to catch the gang for our BS on wed.. truely i enjoyed the sharing each time with u girls..
first day of CNY, nothing much. as usual went over to grandma's place, and came back home. this yr CNY kinda special yet not, special that i shared Christ with a young cousin of mine and shared with kor abt baptism, e rest is the same. spent the night with oi and elisa @ mac.
2nd day of CNY was spent with proj! my forecast and budgeting again... that was be4 my movie though...
KungFu Dunk down with the usual ppl... CJ7 is the next, anyway ph brought down my expectations already, i am that easily influenced i admit. and some more in the list....
3rd day, my hse was opened and only the churchies peeps came... after which was to alicia's hse till night.. spent time playing citadels, bangs, and well for some rubik cube.. haha
And dad upset me - for nagging at the same issue. well... haha... the funny part was...guess he felt guilty abt it thus he became so nice and decided to bring me to get a laptop. and yes, i rejected in the end! haha...
nah, not being mean... told him i will look ard first and not impulsive in my decision (hmmm, sounds familiar huh) wanna get something durable and within budget (:
sunday as usual, had lunch with the churchies after serv, and finally saw sze today! that was the highlight of the day i guess.. only remember her top that made me feel so warm for her! and she is still the same old her... missed her much..
that's abt all for CNY hols i guess.. realised spent alot of time with the peeps in my e-grp recently.. ali,ter, and law.. cos they were the few faces popping up as i was blogging, simple as that..
today, i found myself a mom! haha... guess she is more like a nanny or PA to me... seriously, thanks for breaking the stuffs-to-do down for me, it really gave me a clearer picture and i do hope that God will guide me as i guide the team. thanks too, for the inspiring sharing on leadership, i hope i can truely apply them, just like the sermon today for me - Be Strong and Courages. looks like many things to accomplish soon, i pray for a good team to work with.. (: especially since is a new role for me...
this week being reading on the book by Max Lucado (kinda a long ago bk) - 'He chose the nails'
it really speaks to my heart, especially since i am doing on Cross Road with the church. shall share more after i finish it... all i have to say for now is that, THANKS FOR THE CROSS.

I want to know you more
In the secret
In the quiet place
In the stillness
You are there
In the secret
In the quiet hour
I wait only for You
Cause, I want to know You more
Chorus:
I want to know You
I want to hear Your voice
I want to know You more
I want to touch You
I want to see Your face
I want to know You more
I am reaching for the highest goal
That I might receive the prize
Pressing onward
Pushing every hindrance aside
Out of my way
Cause, I want to know You more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes yes, i want to know You more and deeper each day. Let Your presence fill my everyday.
BECAUSE You are worthy of my praise!
I will give, you all my worship
I will give, you all my praise
You alone, I long to worship
You alone, are worthy of my praise
I will worship, with all of my heart
I will praise you, with all of my strength
I will seek you, all of my days
I will follow, all of your ways
I will give you, all my worship
I will give you, all my praise
You alone, I long to worship
You alone, are worthy of my praise
You are worthy of my praise
I will bow down, and I'll hail you as king
I will serve you, I will give you everything
I will lift up my eyes to your throne
I will trust you, I will trust you alone
I will give you all my worship
I will give you all my praise
You alone I long to worship
You alone are worthy of my praise
------------------------------------------------------------------------

but will be praying for u guys to recover soon (:
went to jac's chalet yesterday night and had a great time simply playing cards with elisa and eileen. hardly knew eileen well, but it was really fun to have her ard i realised. though only the 3 of us, leaving the other 2 in lala-land, we played till 5am in the morning. (: (jac simply cannot understand why we can be playing for that long though, neither can i)
okie, moving on to my spiritual life, God taught me alot from the study of Jude and during my QT. my next step will be to increase my QT time to an hr... also hope to be able to have at least an ETWG once a mth. looking at the many things i have on my 'plate', seriously i do not have an idea where can i find time for it. but, i know if i sincerely want to, God will provide. (:
i am so encouraged by looking at how my e-grp spend their time reading God's word, moving from one book to another, it speaks of consistency.
i believed my prayers were answered - a simple sms tells it all. throughout last week service, a constant prayer i uttered was for Him to speak to her, and i believed He did! (: it warmth my heart to see lost sheep been found.
and............ my dear ms lee sze sze is coming back tml!!!! (: missed her much... pray that she will be able to get back in time despite the heavy snow that caused traffic obstruction.

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee
When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle,
when 24 hours in a day are not enough,
remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups ofcoffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items infront of him.
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if thejar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friend, your favourite passions---and if everything else was lost and onlythey remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your houseand your car.
The sand is everything else---the small stuff.
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your spouse out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always betime to clean the house and fix the disposal.
Take care of the golf balls! first---the things that really matter.
Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
alright, reproduce the above from aiai's blog.. felt it was really meaningful.
however, i felt something is lacking - God. so i decided to change a little to it! the jar shall represent a God-centred life.
imagine if the jar broke, which akin to a broken relationship with God, it becomes meaningless to hold the others that is in the jar, everything will be hay-wired, not in place.
a random thought though, may not sound reasonable..

just thot of letting out my thoughts before i lost them again.. (:
today at e-grp was super lost... nv once i felt this way...
truely experience what is the meaning of mental blocked...
thank God for answering my prayer... for helping me to start focusing again..
if not, guess i wont even have any take away tonight...
i felt the atmosphere was kinda... then again my feelings can be wrong,.. ahha!
as we shared, God put this qns within me. What is the basis of my principles?
my answer will be the truth from the bible. and the application is to pray in faith.
it reminded me once again what i shared with bee lan and the grp of ladies...
we recapped last week's sermon and what are our views of God - occassional, supplemental, circumstancial or fundamental.
to me, God is fundamental (at least more prone to this than the others). although He may not be on my mind 24 hrs a day, but God is my foundation. He is where i draw my strength from. most of the time, i can be communicating with God, maybe not in prayer but simply conversing... He is so real to me..
took a walk home and said a long prayer on my way back home.. and i felt hungry! ^_^

i realised i am getting more and more excited when it comes to reading the bible..
God's word is living and active, by reading His word, then can we understand and know that He is the true and only God!
i thank the Lord for the passion i have to beginning seriously in reading His word. kinda to a point that i felt it is addictive.. (:
but realised sometimes i will lack determination, will fall asleep... haha mom says for her, she read best in toilet! hmmm... children shouldn't learn bad habits from adults.. (:
anyway browse through my photos and reminded me of those times, think this was taken in 2006.. (:
remembered this being the first camp i was the camp commandant! (:
