Though you may not be romancing a single person, you are romancing the world.

child of God

we were first called to be His children, then to serve Him.. my identity: child of God. but what does it mean to be His child? - He loves me unconditionally, for He is the perfect father. - He wants the best for me.

these few days of experience have taught me about treasuring those around you. you nvr nvr know when they will say goodbye, leaving you with regrets and loss. ama, i know it's hard to say goodbye. be strong because He has called us to be!

歌林多后书12：9-10 他却对我说：“我的恩典是够你用的，因为我的能力在人的软弱上显得完全。” 所以，我更喜欢夸自己的软弱，好让基督的能力临到我的身上。因此，我为季度的缘故，就以软弱、凌辱、艰难、迫害、困苦为喜乐，因为我什么时候软弱，什么时候就刚强了。 刚开了曾南干事的邮件，正好我再回宿舍的路途中在想我怎么每一次到了紧要关头都会临阵退缩。。就看到在愿你们在争战的过程里，永不放弃的标题之下，放着这段经文。。及时提醒了我，每当我想放弃，想自行弃权时，上帝一定站在我旁边，给我力量，继续地爱我，陪我走这一段在世上的旅程，叫我永不放弃。。。 只因为他爱我。。。

DONE WITH SPEECH... *wonders how i did*

HW110 EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION PRESENTATION IN 3 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....SCARED....

well, all christians know the basics of the gospel is that God loves everyone so much that He sent His son down to die for us on the cross so we may be reunited with Him as before...so God loves everyone. what difference does it make to Him that I, out of the entire human population responds or not to His love?i'm so tiny...so small out of the entire universe..what difference do i make?? have you ever asked/felt like this??? He answered my questions and my doubts :) i did a search on google on God's+love+difference and found this site :) http://nehemiah.gospelcom.net/distinct3.htm

Worthy is the Lamb Thank you for the cross Lord Thank you for the price You paid Bearing all my sin and shame In love You came And gave amazing grace Thank you for this love Lord Thank you for the nail pierced hands Washed me in Your cleansing flow Now all I know Your forgiveness and embrace Worthy is the Lamb Seated on the throne Crown You now with many crown You reign victorious High and lifted up Jesus Son of God The Darling of Heaven crucified Worthy is the Lamb Worthy is the Lamb No Greater Love

You loved me when I was so unlovely
You sought me when I was lost
You showed me how much You really loved me
When You bought me at the highest cost

There's no greater love than this
There's no greater love than this
That a man would give his life for a friend
There's no higher sacrifice
Than a man would give his life
You have paid the highest price for me

You chose me when I was so unworthy
You cleansed me with Your own blood
You clothed me with righteousness and mercy
And You crowned me with Your steadfast love

Lord, tell me You love me!!!!!!

Magnificent

Who compares to You? Who set the stars in their place? You who calmed the raging seas That came crashing over me. Who compares to You? You who bring the morning light, The hope of all the earth Is rest assured in Your great love. You are magnificent, Eternally wonderful, glorious. Jesus, no one ever will compare to You, Jesus. Where the evening fades, You call forth songs of joy. As the morning wakes, We Your children give You praise. You are magnificent, Eternally wonderful, glorious. Jesus, no one ever will compare to You, Jesus. - You who calmed the raging seas, that came crashing over me. The hope of all the earth, is rest assured in Your great love. -

祷告，因为我渺小。 祷告，因为我知道我需要明了 你心意对我重要。 祷告，已假装不了。 祷告，因为你的爱我需要你关怀 我走过的你都明白。 有些事我只想要对你说， 因你比任何人都爱我。 痛苦从眼中流下， 我知道你为我擦。 在早晨我也要来对你说， 主耶稣今天我为你活。 所需要的力量你天天次给我， 你恩典够我用。

New Material Heals Itself http://www.livescience.com/technology/070618_skin_polymer.html i wish they could find a material that heals itself to be fitted inside the human body, inside the brain, inside the heart. that's where the most painful experiences come from.

science and religion

"Science Not to Blame for Non-Religious Scientists" http://www.livescience.com/history/070629_religious_scientists.html i guess the relationship between science and religion has always been an issue since the human population decided to take interest in science. as one who definitely believes in the existence of God, who exists as the trinity of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, i know there is no conflict between science and religion. God knows everything. would He not know about science and its effects??bottomline is, He has control over everything. there have been too many "coincidences" these few weeks for me to deny that. if u think u're in control, it's just too sad. a light example. if i want to go and run and He really doesn't want me to go run, He can just allow an accident in my family to take my mind off the run. not really a conversial issue of running but simple enough to understand His power. provided by s :) on Jesus' parables. http://www.bcbsr.com/survey/jpbl.html

One Voice

Father we ask of You this day to come and heal our land. Knit our hearts together, that Your glory might be seen in us. Then the world will know that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Let us be one voice, that glorifies Your name. Let us be one voice, declaring that You reign. Let us be one voice, in love and harmony. And we pray, O God, grant us unity.

Now is the time for you and I to join our hearts in praise. That the name of Jesus, will be lifted high above the earth. Then the world will know that Jesus Christ is Lord!!!!!

Let us be one voice that glorifies Your name. Let us be one voice, declaring that You reign. Let us be one voice, in love and harmony. And we pray, O God, grant us unity.

Lord, this is my prayer for our fellowship and our church :) You have shown me so much grace in the past 4 years i never treasured. today, i commit to treasuring Your gifts to me. i know i may fail to keep to it time and again. but i know You are faithful and You will help me :) for all my fears, please keep them from blocking my view of You. You, Yourself, comfort me. truly. thank you

gossip: idle talk about someone else behind their back y people gossip? - not interested in the person of subject but rather the information passed gossip hurts. gossip reveals what you care about inside. gossip exposes how much you love the people around you. i guess no one would gossip about someone they really really love?? sorry i gossiped about you. i should have talked to God about what i felt and not spread my negative emotions. sorry. i'll watch my tongue from now. i will.

after-high down

i know His promises stand for me no matter i feel high or low :) it's sth i can always always believe. love....the entire bible...song of songs...i dunno...He will lead me by my hand :)

when one of my friends joined you, i started to dislike you. after a certain event, i decided you were not so bad after all. now, you are making me dislike you more.

feel like crying now....discouraged...can i say, people just have different commitments??but it's like so discouraging when e place u wanna put ur heart into, others tell u it's so worthless n boring n useless n that it should just b scrapped...

day 8 at work

the first 2 weeks were peaceful...made me comfortable in my new workplace...judging frm all e "advice" J gave, i had this impression that the whole office was like some warground or something...but it was peaceful...until today...mrs boss told me that she could not surf e net...asked me to help...i went over...mr boss came over and they started to quarrel!!!o man...5 min later, after the problem was solved, i went back to my place and they were both smiling lar...scary!!!!!!!! when is a person most scary?? ~ u know some people say "ignorance is bliss"...but some people become scary when they are ignorant!!! ~ when they are power hungry!!! random thoughts: #1 people take sides...with or without them knowing... --> i wanna side with God, siding with anyone else would only bring me misery... #2

lost without God

honestly, sometimes, i really feel like leaving...just let me vent here...somehow, every time after i start trusting someone, the person leaves!!!if you can just leave, can i do the same???so many people have come and gone, can i do the same???i guess i have lost the ability to trust...i need to start in God, before i can trust anyone else, because He is the most faithful i can find...but when it comes to Him, i cannot be faithful...i think He's too faithful for me...like i'll cheat Him of His faithfulness...

!!f.o.u.n.d!! in Him

!!!!!!! GOD ROCKS !!!!!! for those of you who read my blog, you probably know that i'm going overseas for some volunteer treeplanting work this friday. today, i really experienced a miracle myself. i believe that God does miracles to show His glory and draw people to Him. i did support raising and raised my full amount today!! it's something i've never tried before and to me, it's quite a challenge because i do not talk to people so easily. when i knew about support raising, i was slightly hesitant. but something in me told me that i have to try it and i will learn from it. so i made up my mind to do support raising and He did it!!there are so many easy paths for people to take. they can easily work and save the money for the trip or just get it from parents. but He works great things when you let Him :) please pray for: good group dynamics in the team tolerance for all of us for each other for there's like 12/13 of us setting off together. God's guidance to know when to share the gospel and to make new friends over in Beijing good health to last through the preparations and the trip itself (there are still many things undone!!)

when i was young, i used to believe that the only way to serve God is to become a full-time church worker. somehow it didn't work out that not all christians are full-time church workers. when i was about 16 (maybe) , i learnt that it doesn't matter what's your vocation. God may not ask you to become a fulltime church worker. all He asks is that you trust Him in every situation you're in, this is so that people will look at you and think, "what a wonderful God you have". but, how do you do that? i have to deal with my own inferiority complex like once every week? something i read or a sudden mood change always lands me in the thought that i have no value. that i'm worthless. then my natural instinct to cheer myself up and psycho myself takes its place. i start thinking about God and how He loves me without me doing ANYTHING at all :) i know i'm loved :) i think i'll be getting a diving license. should i? i don't know. is it a waste of my life? i want to do everything for Him. i'll get to know more people :) there's commissioning tonight for the gen12ii projects. i'll be going off on a 2 week youth expedition project to china to plant trees. this is funded by national youth council, initiated by asian journeys and planned by us :) :) and we still lack people. if you are interested, please tell me :) sorry. i mostly blog when i'm down. in the times that i don't blog, i don't have the feelings i see to have when i blog. and the feelings leave me after a night's sleep. so don't worry :)

been reading "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis...a truly logical book ba...for those who like to reason out everything, they would be convinced by the logic in it... a day of randomness (plus a quick update of my life) for me: #1: does everyone have a part of their own thoughts that they share with no one at all?? #2: going to earn money from helping dad do paperwork (not the typing kind of paperwork but the folding kind) #3: is there any way of knowing what the person you are talking to is thinking about??i guess you can attain this skill through much observation and analysis #4: i'm not using anymore paper bags because they are hard to make (they are what i'm currently folding) #5: people are scary.. #6: i need to say thank you to every single person in my life...do i??i know everyone has given me space to grow and taught me something but should i be thanking them or just praising God because He is so amazing?? #7: i might be going to work at polar cakes if i get the job... #8: i will master sign language and the art of driving...

haven't been doing much lately...it's kind of fixed...tuition on tuesdays and wednesdays, training on fridays and saturdays if nothing crops up... will be shopping with mommy later :) hahas...hopefully get some new skirts, tops and belt :) hahas... i've been slipping into escapism...from 2 people...dunno what to say...i dun wanna face it...i dun wanna think about it or talk to them...just wanna let it pass...away, away into the darkest corners of my memory...but im not sure its what He wants me to do...isit something that He wants me to change after all these years and i have just ignored it??think about it, maybe ya...help me..
