Hearten
For a moment, I was still allowing my thoughts in the 'maybe-s'.
Oh my! How can I be so short-sighted! Blind!
'This is why Scripture can seem at times so blithely and irritatingly out of touch with reality, brushing past huge philosophical problems and personal agony. But that is just how life is when you are looking from the end. Perspective changes everything. What seems so important at the time has no significance at all.' - Tim Stafford
2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Reality. Which is which. I choose heaven.
It's all a matter of time. God makes all things beautiful in His time.
I'm really sure this time. Certain. I'm created for eternal. Thank You.

Getting the "I" out of your eye
Have you ever come across anyone who is a fan of their own? Whose agenda is always revolving around their own. Where the word 'others' can't simply be found in their day-to-day word search. Argh! Can't stand! Self-centered they are. How do we know whether we are self-centered? Don't be shock! The easiest to gauge is... is your face the first thing you search for when you see your photos? Does how the people around you look matter at all? If your friends don't look great in that photo with you, will you still hold on to that photo thinking it is a great shot?
1 Corinthians 13:5 Love is not self-seeking. Love does not demand it's own way.
Philippians 2:3-4 'Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit...'
Selfishness is an obsession with self that excludes others, hurting everyone.
Love builds up relationship, selfishness erodes relationships.
How many times have I acted as if I'm the most important person on earth. Where everything is about me, myself and I. That's not the way to go. You placed me here to love. Forgive me, Jesus, I receive Your love.

Story of Alicia
Four-year-old Alicia made a slight mistake when she said her Bible verse: "That who so ever believes in him should not perish but have ever laughing life." Grinning, her mother didn’t correct her. That’s exactly how she wants Alicia to feel about Jesus.
My walk with Christ should be one of unspeakable joy and amazing love. Even though things don't go the way I want it to and problems don't seem to come to an end, I know everything's gonna be alright.
The devil, on the other side, sure don't want me to stay firm in my new found source of hope in Christ. He will do whatever it takes to steal, kill and destroy. The most destructive emotions that he uses are grief and sorrow.
In Mark 4:18-20, Jesus warned me about that. He told me that the devil would come to steal the Word from my heart, and He said that one of the ways he would do that would be through the lusts of other things entering in. I have always assumed that phrase referred only to pleasure. But the Holy Spirit has shown me plainly that the spirits of grief and sorrow fall in this category.
Mark 4:18-20 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown."
There is no way I can hear God if I indulge myself in sorrow. Even though it hurts, there is something in it that makes me reluctant to let it go. I can't have sorrow and joy at the same time. So today I choose joy. If anything happens, I'll always have someone to fall back on.
I'm created to have joy.
John 15:11 'I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.'
'Jesus, I take authority over my feelings in Jesus' name. I've given my life to You as a sacrifice well-pleasing unto You, and I won't partake of anything but Your joy. Amen!'
Singing' The joy of the Lord is my strength... hahahahahahahhahaha...

'Treasure what God has blessed you with for free - Your family, relationship with Him and many other good things in your life. Don't be like Esau who despised what was precious.' -Yanni
Yes. I will love him.
I will not despise him.
I will not think he's a hassle.
I will not listen to the lies of the evil one.
I will love him.
Because God, You love me still when I was unlovable.
If You could go crazy, I'll definitely be the one who drove You.

Frustration hangover
I almost died yesterday.
Thank you Jere, I owe you a real big one.
Thank you all for your calls, 'smses' and short meet-ups.
O God, I don't understand, but I still trust You.
Just can't wait for this episode of my life to be over.
Singin'
You showed me life
You've opened my eyes
So I give you my praise
Yeah I give You my all
You showed me life
You've opened my eyes
To the truth that there's no greater love
Just in case you want to know, I'm much better today. =)

Thank you
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
I love you for putting your hand into my heaped up heart and for passing overall of the foolish things you can't help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the lightall of the beautiful belongings that no one else has looked quite far enough to find.
I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good.
You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign.
You have done it by being yourself.
Perhaps that is what being a best friend means, after all.

Am I expecting too much?
Maybe I shouldn’t at all. I shouldn’t expect anything from those who don’t. Tell me that everything You’ve shown are lies. So that I can stop the confusion and frustrations. Tell me, tell me, and I’ll know I gave my best and it’s time to leave. Please, give me one more reason to stay and do what I love. Please.
Please shower me with Your joy and strength like how You always do.
And sure enough, You always do!
Romans 8
Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
Because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
The creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Woohoooo! Thank You for speaking to me in a way I never did expected.
Father, guide me to the Scripture you want me to consume. Show me what I am to eat, and meditate on, and digest until it renews my mind as Your Word promises it will do. Thank you for making healing available to all and for loving me in the midst of all the pain and heartaches of life. Guide and direct and remind me to choose to stay at your table for a steady diet of Your Word. As I renew my mind by choosing to believe Your Word, rather than my own thoughts and what the world and doctors say, I will deepen my relationship with You and become more like Christ. Thank you for your plan of redemption, salvation and healing. Amen.

WGS
Went back to my Secondary School last Friday with Yan. It's heart-warming to see the few teachers who were there. The Tom Yam tasted exactly the same as I had it back then. The surroundings were still familiar. This trip back, especially with Yan, brought back lots of memories. And we chanced upon our art pieces! My portrait and batik painting.
Memories... lots of them...

Back to work
Yes. Back to work. Back to work. Back to work.
I had a good rest for the past 10 or so days. Doing nothing actually. Been trying to catch up on some sleep, despite the 'orbakut' still very much visible. Really enjoyed the time in the morning basking in Your presence. Caught some time out with Sab, Yan and Hua (Sentosa-Bintan trip).
So ya, back to waking up early, more routine and disciplined lifestyle. No more late-talks. Re-appearing in Gmail.
Yes. Back to work. Back to work. Back to work.

Can't wait!
I can't wait! Can't wait for the CNY festive/break to start now. I'm probably the only one who can't wait, i guess. I can't wait for my 10 days holiday spreeeeeeeeeeeee... I have so many things to do in mind which I doubt I'll be able to accomplish. But still...
Yes Hua! I'm definitely anticipating our 'roadtrip' and 'sleep over.' Wooohooooooooooooo!
SVGJ2312, we shall meet for our 'post-reunion dinner' soon.

Slow sucidal
It's a torture!
I know it's a privilege, not an entitlement.
But I really need the sound device.
The silence is driving me into boredom.
Na na na na Jesus loves me...

Closer
I need to hear You
Knowing You're just by my side
I need to touch You
Feeling Your breathe surrounding me, closer
You take me to Your sanctuary
Where nothing else moves
You hold me near so
I can see Your love pours down
Jesus, let Your glory shine on me
Let Your heart move mine
You take me
You mold me
And one day I'll be
Closer to beauty of Your face
Nearer to the likeness of Your grace
Fill me
Take me
Bring me

Unsolved mystery
I have no proof of my tomorrow,but as a child of God I know I'm in good hands no matter what happens. Give me a chance to be rejected. I don't want you to be my greatest regret.
