It falls into place.



Today somehow, things just fall into their places so perfectly (: and yah yah im glad it did...
supposed to go for midnight cycling with lync but in the end i didnt go to accompany mum at home. And had a good night's rest and woke up to go marketing and grocery shopping with mummy (: had a great time learning bout how to cook new dishes like steaming the fish and like picking the veggies to cook for dinner today.. yap although the wet market can get alittle messy or stinky, i just love the scene of housewives buying ingredients to prepare hot piping food for their families and like i somehow look forward to doing such stuff in the future..yap and had mummy-daughter time to day alot...we had macs breakfast and went to NTUC later to shop for other stuff the wet market dont offer.. yappies.. and then came home to walk alittle but of tv and all... and time flies and it time to cook for dinner (: mum just has a wonderful and special gift to cook (: i wish i could had some of her cooking genes. haha.. yap and then supposedly, i planned to study but then had to pick E from the airport at first.. but, got a call from A at the right time that the arrival of our Queen was actually at 5 in the morning.. it cant get any better i guess.. so now i've got time to mug for math and complete my work... (: its great how it falls into place.

time to spend time with my Heavenly Father...

How can you be more like Jesus if you dont know Him?



The only way to know more about this awesome God we are serving is through the word. If er do not read the word daily, how are going to tell others about Him when we are not even familiar?

"For the word of God is sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing to the division of the soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

for it is said, " when we read His word, God speaks"

After reading God's word, i realised that is so much about God that i didnt know even though i've been a christian for the past 10 years. and its just how amazing God can be from the Word. And sometimes its just funny how the random passage i came about could relate to me so much even though it was written thousands of years ago. Daniel said: "God's word is shallow enough for a baby to swim in, but also deep enough for a diver to never reach the bottom." its really true i think. and this quote is just ironic. but thats the same thing about God. He is ironic. He died on the cross when He knew He had a choice, He went through all the pain although He had a choice. He chose fishermen as His disciples. He lived a life like any man although He was God. Thats just how amazing his God we're serving is.

Today's material has taught me about how there exist's people who are lost in the father's house. And we all hide behind one's principles. i guess i have been too human in the recent days. When i knew prayer was the most important thing, i took it for granted. When i know reading the Word was important, i overlooked it at times. I have been wayward at heart. And these few days the fasting material has amde me go through alot of self-reflection and now i seem more sober about the state i am in. And i think its a good to realise it now that maybe i have taken my faith for granted and now the relationship is cold. Someone told me this " If anything is taking you away from God, it has to be removed immediately" many quotes have been like some sort of an alarm clock ringing to me that its time to go home now and i think its time to stop the procrastination and really start to look back to God.

it does not matter how much effort you put to make others see what you do, but it matters what lies on the inside of you that only God can see. Because man looks at the outer appearance, but God looks at the heart.

Give thanks for friends around who have slowly taught me the way back to Him.

The Greatness of our God- Hillsong

The Greatness of our God



Verse 1:
Give me eyes to see
More of who You are
May what I behold,
still my anxious heart.
Take what I have known
And break it all apart
For You my God, are greater still.

CHORUS
No sky contains,
No doubt restrains,
All You are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

Verse 2:
Give me grace to see
Beyond this moment here.
To believe that there
Is nothing left to fear.

That You alone are high above it all.
For You my God, are greater still.

CHORUS 
No sky contains,
No doubt restrains,
All You are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
To all You are,
The greatness of our God.

Bridge:
And there is nothing
That can ever separate us.
There is nothing that can ever
separate us from Your love.
No life, no death, of this I am convinced.
You my God, are greater still.


And no words can say, or song convey,
all You are the greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know,
And I'm far from close
to all You are,
the greatness of our God.

I guess a relationship without God is pure empty


Im starting to realise how important it is that God is the centre of a relationship. Be it between friends or even in a BGR relationship. When God becomes and is the centre of the relationship, somehow or another, problems or even issues will be resolved because God is in the picture.
1. When either of them gets angry, they pray and they know that its not right to let the sun go down with your anger
2. When times arent right, they know that God is there to pull them through
3. When the world walks out, God walks in
4. When somehow one side is at fault, we learnt to forgive, because He forgave.
5. When ideas clashes, we turn to God's idea
6. When there is nothing left to say, we talk about the wonders of God.
7. When either is down/ sad/ empty/ tired, we use the Word of God to bring Life back
8. When no one understands your thoughts, God will be there to listen to them
9. When it gets so difficult to sleep at night, His peace will be there.
10. When the journey gets rough, He sends people around you to bring you joy and peace which only God can give
11. When the argument does not gets resolve, one takes a step back and asks God:" teach me,O lord"

Without God, a relationship would be meaningless and dry because only with God can there be life and only He who created life and bring joy and hope to this life we're living.

Everyday come and go but i hardly take a break and marvel at the awesome wonder of God. i get blindly by trying to do the things the world demands. trying to maintain the grades, trying to be one of them, trying to ensure that im someone worthy of respect, trying to ensure that poeple sees me as a happy person, trying to spread myself so thin.

but at the end of the day, " we hit a ceiling and realize that in fact there is nothing there."

why didnt i learn to see it beforehand? why didnt i take a closer look at what God wanted? why do i tend to wait til i've stepped into it before i realize it was wrong? why didnt i trust God enough.

i've learnt that there's so much for me to learn and yap today is the start of the 40 day fast and prayer thingy. time to start getting back to God i guess. its high time i've been slipping past and trying to go by each day as though i have many more to come....
