A Good Day

Last sunday, GH and i went to Pariss to have a dinner buffet.
Quite fun, our 1st international buffet. Hmm, he don't really seem to enjoy the seafood.
But i enjoyed.. He loves the dessert -Pandan cheesecake.
It seems like a weird combination but it's delicious.

After dinner, we went to the Singapore Flyer. Yupyupyup. :)
But we did not take the ride... Awww...
Due to no cameras, not the right time... :( I believe the time will come and i'll wait for you.

But it's a GOOD day. I felt that, the outing made me think/re-check our relationship, about the good
and bad times, about how we work things out, about where we stand and our future.

A thought came into my mind when i'm thinking all these stuffs.
It's important that i 'check' on my relationship with God,
how He draws me to Him, whether i am living the way that God wants me to live in, doing things
that will bring Him glory, seeking Him.

And if not, then I should change and live by His word.

One critical thing i should do to bring Him glory is to do my best in exams.
Sometimes i do feel like giving up, but God gave me strength to push myself to keep studying.

Thank you, Lord.

Love

Tearing Uncontrollably?

Last saturday, i experienced this 'tearing'.
It was special.

Touched by His unconditional love
How He brought me to light
How He comforted me when i'm down
How He speaks to me

My God, so great
Forgave me for what i've done
Redeemed me from my sins
And gave me a new life

Opening my heart to Him
Beginning to show more of Him to me
Teaching and guiding me
I thank Him for what He has done

Updates

I'm falling sick again..
Yes, it's flu.
Quite worried about my exams, future job hunting, family and friends. Not sure if i'm able to take care of them. Anyway, keep worrying about these things will not provide me with solutions.
I told myself:' Gotta work hard, and pray that God will help me with my worries...'

Do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
- Matthew 6:34

Recently, i met up with some friends from poly. Feel good meeting up with them.
I felt that, time seemed to have gone back to those poly days, especially my 7 meals per day. HAHAHA.
It was really a good catching up with them, chatting about work, life, relationships, ex classmates and the list goes on.

They were glad that I'm a Christian now and were happy for me.
Perhaps, one saddening news that i've heard is that, one of my friends backslided.
Sadly to say, grew away from God. I remembered that in our school days, she's always going to church weekly, worshipping God and often heard her praising God.

But now, due to her tight schedule at work and her r/s with bf, she has stopped going to church. Her bf is not a Christian, doesn't seem to like her to attend church services.
Of cos, i'm in no position to judge a person, to control someone's feelings.
The question is, do you think it's worth it?

Even though i take some time to warm up to people, but going to church, cell groups are like having fellowships with others. Its good that you let them know what u are going through, let them pray for u and vice versa, so that all of us will grow spiritually in God's hands.

Just like to let her know that it's never too late to turn back to God again.

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.
- Matthew 6:24

''Return, you backsliding children,
And i will heal your backslidings. ''

Indeed we do come to you,
for You are the Lord our God.
- Jeremiah 3:22

Memories are formed through the experiences we have gone through in the past. Good or Bad? It depends on which stand you take. Life will never always be filled with good experiences as it seems to me that it's always the bad experiences that make me learn from my mistakes.

And these memories are often brought back because of things that you recently heard, said or thought. I once made this prayer 'Dear God, pls help me to get rid of my bad memories and experiences...'. Gradually, I realised that bad memories/experiences are stuffs that we kept in the bottom of our heart. They wont go away, as they are there in our hearts for us to remember and remind ourselves never to take that wrong step again. What matters most is that we got to jump out of our bad experiences and get on with our life.

I thank God for teaching me that what i have been through is not the end of the world, as it's only the beginning of my life to know Him. God helped and guided me through my darkest period and finally leading me to light. My world once collapsed, and i thought that i will never get up. But He changed me. Even though i'm hurt and afraid, but i know He's healing me and will always be there for me.

God gave me a new life and hope and purpose for me. And the best thing is, He is still changing me and i know that He will continue to guide and direct to the path He knows what's best for me.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding.
In all ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
- Proverbs 3:5

I'm learning to lift things up to God, though sometimes may fail as i may want to solve them myself.
Initially, i thought that God may not understand/know what i'm going through.
But I'm WRONG.
God knows it ALL.
Whatever good things, bad things we have done, He knows about them.
Therefore, we need to lift all our plans, worries, everything to Him.

A man's heart plans his ways,
But the Lord directs his steps.
- Proverbs 16:9

Without His guidance and direction, I wouldn't have known what could have become of me.

Dear God,
Thank you for showing grace and love towards me.
Thank you for loving me for who I am.
Thank you for being there when i'm down.
Thank you for changing me and letting me being able to view things from a different perspective.
Lord, i pray that i'll continue to grow in Your Hands, knowing U more.
I pray that U continue to change me, change my perceptions.
In Jesus name, Amen!
