Nothing else matters

the crux of this whole life is obedience to God.

The happiest moments are often the simplest

“The traveler was active, he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him.” — Daniel Boorstin

The happiest moments are often the simplest.

My happiest moments while traveling were all quite simple. They’re moments that most of us have access to as a living, breathing human being: A walk under a warm sun. A run at sunset in a new city. Marveling at a natural wonder. The anticipation of a new adventure. Laughing with old friends. Getting to know new friends. Deeply connecting with a stranger. Spending the night next to a beautiful woman. Showing someone love. Receiving someone’s love. Giving freely. Listening to someone’s story. Sharing your own.

 

Totally agreed.

Stereotypes, judgement & discrimination

what you believe about a person could either be a barrier or a catalyst to a growing relationship.

Learning to LOVE

let us not be offended with each other but pray for each other that we may grow, all the more to walk in obedience in God, TOGETHER.

Obedience to God

Sometime along the week, I had this perspective:

Obedience to God is not sacrificing more than the others and having less. It is having an abundant and eternal life with God. That, is MORE.

Truth welcomed

Whatever thoughts, belief, attitudes, values that is contrary to the Truth must go.

2 Corinthians 10:5

. . . bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ . . . —2 Corinthians 10:5

So much Christian work today has never been disciplined, but has simply come into being by impulse! In our Lord’s life every project was disciplined to the will of His Father. There was never the slightest tendency to follow the impulse of His own will as distinct from His Father’s will— “the Son can do nothing of Himself . . . ” (John 5:19). Then compare this with what we do— we take “every thought” or project that comes to us by impulse and jump into action immediately, instead of imprisoning and disciplining ourselves to obey Christ.

But true determination and zeal are found in obeying God, not in the inclination to serve Him that arises from our own undisciplined human nature.

...each person must recognize the responsibility to “be transformed by the renewing of [his] mind. . .

Thankful

So many things to thank God for

for ride to work
for so much food
for time together as a family
for knowing voice and sebestian a little better today

thankful.

Think again.

Dating

"The greatest danger of dating is giving parts of our hearts and lives to someone to whom we’re not married. It is a significant risk, and many, many men and women have deep and lasting wounds from relationships because a couple enjoyed emotional or physical closeness without a lasting, durable commitment."

In His Will

 "If David Wilkerson had allowed slander to deter him from his work with New York gangs in the 1960s, we would not have the ministry of Teen Challenge today. The key to persevering in God's call is to genuinely know that we are doing God's will."

Not Qualified

Matthew 9:12-13

Healthy people don't need a doctor- sick people do. Then He added, "Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: 'I want you to show mercy, not sacrifices. For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.

in the KING's presence

JESUS
King, Creator, Friend and God

It is in Your presence that I don't have to play pretend

It is in Your presence that I experience true freedom

It is in Your presence that I can bare my heart

I can be myself in front of You

I can come clean with all my weaknesses

I can tell You I'm struggling

I can tell You I'm angry, sad, or really happy

I can tell You if I like someone

Because I know I'm judged only by You

I trust Your judgment.

In Your Justice, Holiness, Righteousness

And LOVE, you judge.

In Your Love, You never condemned me but saved me from my sins

In Your Love, I can have hope,

Hope to be what You've created me to be!

You've created me good

You've created me to enjoy a relationship with You,

To connect with You

To worship You

Forever!

It is in You, my Creator, that I truly found who I really am,

What I was created to be.

Thank You for inviting me in Your presence.

I'm honoured to be in the KING's presence.

Some God moments during shopping...

Was accompanying my sis to shop for office wear
Back of my mind was just thinking if the shopping wasn't as fruitful...
I wouldn't be as happy... =(
Though I kept reminding myself that I just want to spend that time with her
We looked around but there wasn't any that fit her
Then we were reminded, we knew of someone who was quite big framed as well
and wondered where she got all her clothes

Just finish reading the msg, "... ...and Dorothy perkins." we ended up there, right in front of us.
Just felt that was so divinely led and guided...
And yes! They have pretty clothes with sizes from 6-20!
We had so much fun bcos we found clothes that fits us!
What's more, they are having sales with clothes up to 50% discount and additional 15% with POSB  everyday card!

I learnt to cast ALL my cares on Him bcos He cares for me (not just spiritually but also physically =))!

Jesus come work with me

feel so tired today
during work I feel like going home and not working anymore
all I do is to do and do and do
I longed for deeper  relationships
Sharing of lives and heart
not just doing and doing and doing all day
I'm not a machine

then I confessed
I confessed I've lost focus
man where has Jesus been in the midst of my work
what am I looking at
charts
to dos
charts
to dos
where is Jesus
none in sight

Jesus come work with me
Fill me with an abundance of You
for more of Your love
for more of Your touch
for more of Your strength
to pray for the ppl I met
knowing that they didn't come into my life by chance
Help me not to see them as work
They are ppl with a heart and a soul
They are Your created beings
who needs Your LOVE

Each bedsheet I change, let them know You
Each diaper I change, let them know You
Each shower I've helped, each bed sponge I've done, let them know You
Each diet I serve, each medicine I give, each cup of water I bring
Let everything I do, let people see Your love, YOUR LOVE for them

Let it come out of an abundance of LOVE from You.

it's such a joy...

it's such a joy to be in love with You all over again
to be in Your presence
to be in Your love
So, thank You for bringing me back...
All the times I've been lost but You never let me go
You never gave up on me
It's such a joy to fall in love with You
All over again.
=)
