Everything - Lifehouse
You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the life
To my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with You
And not be moved by You
re-watching this once again made me realise how many distractions there are in my life right now. thank You Jesus for being my Protector, my Light, my Hope, my Shield. always a struggle for me to just sit down n focus on what i m supposed to do.
God has been teaching me impt lessons from Psalm 139. it is just so apt that my cell verse comes from there as well, haha. this shall be my anchor Psalm for the year!
Psalm139 :)
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
big girls dont whine:)
breakfast at ikea
Friday, April 18, 2008 // 9:50 AM
i drove again! ever since feng got his license, opportunities for me to drive the family car became lesser, so i gotta grab every single chance that i have,esp during weekdays when he's not around. tried parking (vertial) goodness i dont even wanna go into the details. all i can say is i take after my mum; we have very very bad car sense. i cant imagine how my parallel parking would be like. but apparently, i've improved ! :) early morning breakfast at ikea w my dad.
tuna croissant ! generous serving of tuna. yums :)
lontong.
the past week has been an eventful week. learnt many impt lessons and i m thankful because God has once again showed that He is always in control, despite our weaknesses, and how messy our situations are. the simple truth that i've re-learnt: God is good, all the time.
was surfing thru some food/baking blogs. oh my! i m so inspired !! baking frenzy aft my papers! i want to bake my own yoghurt loaf , blueberry muffins, marble cake.. n more more more!
*slaps myself back to reality*

You don't have to know a lot of things for your life to make a lasting difference in the world. But you do have to know the few great things that matter, and then be willing to live for them and die for them.
The people that make a durable difference in the world are not the people who have mastered many things, but who have been mastered by a few great things. If you want your life to count, if you want the ripple effect of the pebbles you drop to become waves that reach the ends of the earth and roll on for centuries and into eternity, you don't have to have a high IQ or EQ; you don't have to have to have good looks or riches; you don't have to come from a fine family or a fine school.
You have to know a few great, majestic, unchanging, obvious, simple, glorious things, and be set on fire by them.But I know that not everybody in this crowd wants your life to make a difference.
There are hundreds of you - you don't care whether you make a lasting difference for something great, you just want people to like you.If people would just like you, you'd be satisfied. Of if you could just have good job with a good wife and a couple good kids and a nice car and long weekends and a few good friends, a fun retirement, and quick and easy death and no hell - if you could have that (minus God) - you'd be satisfied. THAT is a tragedy in the making.
suddenly it hit me. again and again, i try to tell myself that 'the secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right' but do i really thank God for EVERYTHING?am i really contended with what i have?more often that not, we are not as Christ-centered and cross-saturated as we should be and we have not realized that everything - everything good and every thing bad that God gave was purchased by the death of Christ for us. We simply take life and breath and health and friends and everything for granted. We think it is ours by right. But the fact is that it is not ours by right. We are doubly undeserving of it. He gives, he takes, and he does us no injustice.

when margie told us to draw something that represents our life right now, all i could tink of is, myself, inside a well missing out all the good things. (once in awhile, the horrrrrible pessimist in me makes her pressence ) but ultimately, like what vannie shared before, we get to choose the kind of day we wanna have. nobody wants to be a grouchy cow, and nobody wants to be around a grouchy cow.
i'm sorry but i tink all ur frens would probably shun u if there's no positive energy in u. and obviously, i dun wan my dearest loved ones to shun me haha *shudders at that thought*
publicity,csi,school,family,frens. although it gets really tiring, but i really am enjoying what i m doing. i m determined to do a good job, at least, TRY. i was telling corny baby that up till now i still feel joyful but she reminded me that it is only march.haha hey, we shall by joyful throughout the year alrights! n.. life is just too short and too precious, so to everybody reading this: don't waste it away yeah? =)
wow. prob one of my longest post. haha i wonder if anybody wld even make it till here. but here's jus a little encouragement to all those feeling really sian n lost at this point in time of what i've learnt. =)
