Often times when we're in good times, we tend to advice people who are going through bad times in a tone of arrogance. Implying to them that they have brought it upon themselves. It is only when we're also going through bad times that we give the best advice to those who are going through it as well. And that is because we're in the person's shoes. It is indeed humbling and it takes great faith and effort to be able to trust that indeed God is greater and that nothing we humans can ever do, can change or alter the things that God wants. God, I do have a request for myself....and that is that in this ACE assignment, You will be glorified. my grades don't matter.and neither does the amount of effort that i put in count...what counts is Your glory. See my heart o Lord. I know that you are greater and that my weaknesses does not affect your great plans for my life. I trust in You. I hope in You and I glory in You.

What a fool i am. still living in dreamland. I have no idea when i will wake up. if it were not for the sustaining hands of God, my foolishness would have led to my fall.

i need to tighten up....need to discipline....need to chiong....need self control....need perseverance...need God.

suddenly i feel like i can't do it

suddenly i feel inadequate

You're my heart's song

The roads are long

Narrow and far

I'll go the distance

I'll follow the star

Take me with You

Lead me along

To where freedom lives

And to where I belong

I'll walk with You

Wherever You go

Through tears and joy

I'll follow

I'll follow

You're my heart's Song

The reason I sing

You're my God

You're my King :)

Disheartened...God...pls fill me. Help me look to you and not to anyone else.

I'm learning to run.

I'm learning to slow.

I'm learning to oppose.

I'm learning to flow.

I'm learning to fight.

I'm learning to rest.

I'm learning to let go,

upon giving my best.

I'm learning control.

I'm learning to trust.

It may be hard but

its certainly a must.

I'm learning to love.

I'm learning to care.

I'm learning to be selfless.

I'm learning to share.

Come what may and whatever may be

I know I'll be fine, cause God's with me.

God, i really need Your help...help me to take the focus off of myself and put it on You and things of Your kingdom.

Your kingdom come, Your will be done.

my Priority...

i will rmb that 2011 was the year i learnt the meaning of priorities.

somehow, one of my greatest wishes now is to be able to stay focused on the things that matter.

i know where i'm headed. i know the direction. i know where i wanna go.

but yet, distractions have been coming along the way and it has become rather hard to resist. maybe its time to let go of things that is futile.

maybe its time to be alone once more.

maybe its time to concentrate my effort on things that matter.

maybe its time to center my life around God.

You are my priority...

I feel like a young sapling that is learning to grow its roots. My roots are still short and it absorbs water from the surface of the soil. I get my daily watering from the attention and love showered by friends and family. I need this water...lest I die. I'm growing upwards each day but the more I grow, the more I realize this temporary water does not satisfy because if I'm not watered enough each day, I dry up. Now that I'm away from my family and my close friends, I realize I'm getting pretty dry. So I'm learning to reach and dig deeper into the soil where there is an abundant source of water. Water that never dries up. Jesus is that source of living water and those that come to Him, will never thirst again.

and i know that with this source of Living Water, I'll grow to become a fruitful tree.

Nolonger satisfied with temporary highs. I'm going after something much more. something eternal.

Dearest Lord Jesus,

Please help us to know the difference between right and wrong. What pleases you and what does not. What you love and what you hate. What we should do and what we should not be doing. What are the black or grey areas in our life that we need to consecrate to you. What's not permissible and what's not beneficial. Write your law upon our hearts. Reveal yourself to us that we may be transformed more into your image. Save us from ourselves O Lord...for you are mighty to save!

Loving you always,

Your little lamb

Tears welled up my eyes as I was just singing this very beautiful song composed by a girl named Jocelyn:

Here I am, at your feet, crying out to you

Draw me near, Hold me close, Lord I wait on You

For You're my greatest love.

You're my Comforter and Strength.

You're the First, You're the Last

You're my guiding Light.

I will run. I will soar on eagle's wings.

As I wait on you Lord, my strength is restored.

Fix my eyes on you Jesus as I run this race.

Help me fight this fight of faith.

:D

Life's fragility

Life is fragile.

That scary truth stares right at me in the face each time a disaster occurs or someone I know passes away. I cannot understand it when people make statements like: 'I'm the master of my own fate!'. To me, its rubbish. You will never hear this from someone who is in poverty or from those who are in a state of helplessness...cause they understand that there are many things beyond human control. And in such cases, only God can intervene.

by looking at the magnitude of the universe itself and the preciseness of the way the earth is positioned for 'life' to be possible, we should be more than aware that we have a Creator and that we are subjected to Him. Our fate lies in His hands. And when He made each and everyone of us, He had a purpose in mind. God does not make mistakes nor were we made out of an accident. But each one of us are fearfully and wonderfully made. Isn't God great?

Teach me Your ways and help me embrace them.

Give me a heart of thanksgiving and compassion.

Give me a an un-distracted and focused mind.

Teach me discipline and perseverance.

Give me a desire for You and for the things of your Kingdom.

Teach me humility and how to trust You.

Give me more faith and the strength to cast aside my will.

above all, teach me Your love; how to love You and the others around me.

this is all that i want for myself....

Maturity is where one realizes that he/she is accountable to none but God.
Maturity is where one lives for no one else but God.
Maturity is where one realizes that he/she is alone without God.
Maturity is where one realizes his/her insignificance in this world and begins to fear God.
(We are significant to God though! Who am I that you are mindful of me...)

Maturity is where one realizes... 'I am nothing without God'.


Anything other than this is deception.

I want the discernment to know when to take ppl's comments and when to guard myself from it.

aimless, distracted and going no where. need to focus. need to get back on track.

my dear dear Jordanna...

There's only one thing that can make me truly happy right now... it's when cancer has left you...and there's no trace of it left behind...Jordanna, stay strong, the Lord will deliver you. hang in there!
