THANKS GOD

2007

1. My results - that I did reasonable well for ALL my modules (no da bao-ing hurrah hurrah) despite not always making the best effort

2. My family - for watching over us & drawing us, each in Your own way, closer to You

3. The new house - LOVE Pasir Ris. Feel like I've come home

4. The Redang trip in June - seems like such a loooonng time ago but it was really what I needed

5. A means to prosper financially - my job!

6. Protection - looking back, there were so many late nights & stupid stuff that I did which I should not have made through unscathed, if it were not for Your watching out for me.

7. W345 - though I had my qualms, fits of highs & depressions, but it took the shaking down of the year to help me see how in 9 months, I've smoothened away rough edges.

2008

1. Hope - in place of regret

2. Faith - in place of fears; U surround me with people & poured Your favor down, that I might be edified & keep discovering who I am

3. Love - a belief in love that keeps going from glory to glory

4. Longsuffering - capacity to understand & accept different opinions, beliefs etc.

5. Patience - capacity to remain calm despite fear & irritation

6. Strength - IT'S ALL YOU.

THANKS GOD!

There must be more than this Oh breath of God come breathe within There must be more than this Spirit of God we wait on You Fill us anew we pray Fill us anew we pray Consuming fire fan into flame A passion for Your name Spirit of God won't You fall in this place Lord have your way Lord have your way in us Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord a passion for your name As Sy Rogers said today, there are things we can look back on, our memorial stones, that encourage us and give us strength to move forward. I rmb a time I was so far away and so tired of people in general, cos really it's relationships that really get me down - n when Jean would walk in on me crying or just sitting and not even having the energy to do stuff, she would listen n say 'just cry out to God alright?' and that would be the last thing i wanted to hear. sometimes you know what to do, and you know what the advice will be, but when the emotions are n...

on mountains and perspective

Kept awake by a bout of traveler's diarrhea and the ensuing abdominal colic. Just been back from an attempt at Mount Kinabalu, 'highest mountain in Southeast Asia'. Okay, those apostrophes are there out of bitterness... it really is the highest mountain in Southeast Asia. And I couldn't even attempt the summit. Made it to the base camp at 3067 m though... that's what it says on my black-and-white certificate - colored ones are only for successful summit-ers.  Crrr! But I made it back with my life. And I'm humbler for the attempt, though how could I resist the parting shot: "I'll be back!"? But on a more serious note, it's an awesome thing, a beautiful gift to be able to get out there into as natural a surrounding you can get (without dying a slow tv-less death from cold, altitude sickness, projectile vomit and did I mention cold?). It truly seems like one never can be happy - despite all my first-world comforts, I'd gladly pay to painf...

RAVE POST

So many things to thank God for! Sometimes during CG though, i'll be like, eh i know i have something to share but what(?!?!) during testimony time. Lol.. ok, just a list cos it's 0133 and there's church this morning (YEA!) so a bit 'seh~' (my new word =D) 1. God as in, not in the 'ya must put God first in everything so yea, here it is, evidence. gr.' but really, this year's emerge, with Pst's Sermon on the Mount series preparing the way, it really did it. And the fact that God pursues us with His love, even surrounding non-believers with his common grace, so that whether most believe in God or not they will still be able to live life successfully. The evidence is all there. Forgot to pray? yea, but He still shows up. I finally feel like I'm starting to see colors, breathe fresher air, move more freely.. and like the song; Better than the riches of this world, Better than the sound of my friends' voices, Better than the biggest dreams of my h...
