Just a poem...

Was led to this poem as i began to study. Our God is a giving God.

He Giveth More Grace

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,

He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;

To added affliction He addeth His mercy;

To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,

When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,

When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,

Our Father's full giving is only begun.

Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,

Our God ever yearns His resources to share;

Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;

The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.

His love has no limit; His grace has no measure.

His pow'r has no boundary known unto men;

For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,

He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

Annie Johnson Flint

2Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Dear friends and family.

'The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you'

drop me a line if yous got something i can join you in prayer for.

Worship

There is power in the words that we say.

There is power in the songs we sing.

We worship with song

to adore Him

to glorify Him ( glory = be known for what he truly is)

to remind ourselves

through music and lyrics

of the relationship we have with God through Jesus.

To love Him back, for he first loved us.

Holy and annointed one

Jesus, Jesus
Holy and anointed One, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus
Risen and exalted One, Jesus

Your name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit like water to my soul
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus, I love You, I love You

Memories worth a gazillion billion dollars!

Random Rambling

God never leaves us.

It's funny how i thought God who is so in love with me left me.

I really did.

Now I've started to pick my bible up again for devo and well, i've been really blessed lately cuase a friend of mine decided to come to my room with her bible in her dressing gown.

she said 'i came to read a psalm with you' ( sonething like that)

little did she know. i've waited all term for somebody to do that. I was encouraged to pursue God more fervantly again. and although it was really funny what we read..Psalm 49

 ²⁰ A man who has riches without understanding 

       is like the beasts that perish

( this is the normal sounding version)

this version is the one we read:

²⁰ We aren't immortal. We don't last long. 
      Like our dogs, we age and weaken. And die.

my misty( dog) is still strong...:D

anyways, thats just a little ramble from me..for a change.

* just remembered this old musical that i used to love...Hello Dolly... so i bought it off amazon. haha. bet you remember this one mommy. the barbara streisand one. i love it!

Corrie Ten Boom writes, “If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll bedepressed. But if you look at Christ, you’ll be at rest!” 

my current soundtrack

"This [I] know [I] have a new life

[I am] Yours now and forever

In this life all that [I] seek

To be with You more than anything"

                                 

Salami and crackers

I've had salami and crackers for lunch.
Crackers and juice for breakfast.
Herbal tea and starburst chewy candy for class to keep me awake.

why am i recording my food intake you ask?
well, i was sick a couple of days ago. wednesday to be exact.

i couldn't eat much then. every time i thought of food. well, even water it made me pukish. so, i guess today if i ahd to thank god for only one thing ( mind you i have quite a list today....not because my everyday is not as eventful, but just cause today i bothered counting them all)..yes back to my point...

if i had to be thankful for just one thing today,
i thank my father in heaven for blessing me with the ability to eat again.
:D

i think that's a huge blessing. to be able to eat when you have food. don't you?

loves! mwah xxx

For Mommy Lau

What if ?

if my name was marie could you ever percieve me to be the person that i actually am?

It's always bout the name of the brand of whatever you're using, wherever you're eating, which road you're using, the place you live. the name of your fish...it potrays something. it gives you an impression that leads to a decision of whether or not you would want to find out more about it.

so...

what if i called the bible a good book, would you read it then.
what if i called the liturgy of a church service, poetry expressing your thoughts, just like the simple lyrics of any song.
what if i called the book of psalms, the book of lyrics for old school hits.
what if i called the books in the new testament ppl's emails that had been cc-ed or bcc-ed to you, would you say it is boring?

sorry for the randomness .

Hymn No. 46

Have I an object, Lord, below
Which would divide my heart with Thee?
which would divert its even flow
In answer to Thy constancy?
O teach me quickly to return,
And cause my heart afresh to burn.

Have I a hope, however dear,
Which would defer Thy coming, Lord -
Which would detain my spirit here
Where naught can lasting joy afford?
From it, my saviour, set me free
To look and long and wait for Thee.

Be Thou the object bright and fair
To fill and satisfy the heart,
My hope to meet Thee in the air,
And nevermore from Thee to part;
That i may undistracted be
To follow, serve, and wait for Thee.

- G.W.FRAZER

Lord,

to know that you are with me.
guiding me, using me. that is enough.
why then is there this longing for what seems so far.

for the things you have promised me.
for the people i love.
for the lives that do not know you.
for more of you. to know more. to speak to you plainly.
let my heart be set upon these things.

Oh happy day

A prayer.

Father,

i've had such a good day. It wasn't one of those days that would be of anyones fancy. yet, it was significant. this must be what you meant when you asked us to take sabbaths. to rest. who knew such an 'uneventful' day could bring satisfaction and focus into life.

we go on and on with plan after plan. thinking the fuller our schedules the better life we live. today, god you gave us a bright sunny day.

thank you.

this is what i did today:

i woke up earlier than usual with nothing in particular planned. not even church though it was a sunday. all i knew was i wanted to spend this day adoring god. living with him, knowing him a bit better by reading his words and hearing how he's been saying to others as well.

so i sat in the morning in my bed. read this guy's mail , paul to some bunch of people. to think that i'm reading somebody's mail .but yeah. Paul knew what he was talking bout. thought provoking. then had a good conversation with my room mate both in our beds. went for breakfast. just hung out. didnt rush. asked to go to my friend luke's church and just went. this was followeed by many conversations in lunch and under the sun out in the mitchell lawn. long boarded better than i did yesterday in the carpark today too.

now i'm doing greek. stopped half way to type this ..

but you see, i didnt do anything great when you measure it with the worlds ruler.
but why do i feel so refreshed and so accomplished. i didnt rush to do anything but still i got so much done ( technically) i didnt do charity, work and help many people,or even help run or organize anything .. but why do i feel so loved and appreciated.

my answer :
i stopped. rested. i thought bout god. who he is. how he loves. and lived accordingly. thats all.

this is the day that the lord has made. i will rejoice and be glad in it.
cant wait for tomorrow whatever comes. it's alright. :D

Insured?

Whilst i was still in secondary school the one question teachers would ask me before i go for camps and outing/ activities at the start of every year is

Whether or not i have insurance?

The school needs to know what will happen and what to do if i got into an accident? will i be able to afford the medical fee. Will i get anythin if i suddenly lose a limb? what happens if i die?

the answer then was always: errr..i dont think so..i'm not insured. dont know why my mom didnt get me it then..with all the things you hear about unit trusts, i t does sound like a good deal :P
( not having things like NHS in the UK, kinda makes this necessary in msia?)

but today, my mom got me some. So i am insured.

Here's the thought:

now what? we pay money we get money when we need it.when we're in lack/disable.when we die. we save. we are always in need, we always lack something, we will eventually die.Insurance is useful and yet it still doesnt prevent us from the real issues we face. It only helps us deal with the effects of life. not life itself.

People don't NEED insurance. PEOPLE NEED ASSURANCE. Assurance that all their needs have been met. Assurance that there is no lack( satisfaction). Assurance of life even after death.

i have this assurance and i choose to spend my whole life telling others about it. I heard about it in good friday in 1999. It is the story of God loving his creation. Knowing us individually and still loving us unconditionally.

If you found today that somebody likes you, wont you want to know more about that person even if it's just for knowing sake...

this my cry...

Take Off My Shoes

I’ll take off my shoes, I’m coming in,
Untie this rope, I’m staying with him,
Love of my life, I’ll live and die,
Just for the moments for my king and I.

Why did you call, why did you wait,
For someone so guilty, someone so fake.
There are no words for my beautiful song,
Now I’m in the arms of my beautiful one.

Hold me, blow all the pride from my bones,
With your fire.
Hold me, breathe on this heart made of stone,
Keep it pure.
Hold me, saviour of heaven and earth,
King forever.
Hold me, love of my life lead me on,
Through the fire, lead me on...

I’ll take off this crown and fall at your feet,
The secret of joy are the moments we meet.
How could a man with all of your fame,
Pull me from darkness and call me by name.

So hold me today, as I carry your cross,
Into the desert to find who is lost.
Look at my hands, they’re still full of faith,
God keep them clean till we finish the race.

My Awesome Sunday

You know how sometimes you have something sooo good that you end up a bit speechless.

i've had on of those days.

First in the morning i'm blessed with a fender and a crazee mother of all amps with a four channel switch pedal to Borrow.
Second, realised god's presence towards the end of the song worship time.
Third, strong message that had made reference to loneliness( lies), sex(lust), and weak men. how in every good moment god leads us to the devil always dangles a counterfeit product that appears to be better....ok..i felt god speaking into my life...
fourth, lunch with youth friends. Mcd's!!!! shopping too.
fifth,had nice juice at Jac's house.
sixth, a strong man help me twist open my g2 pen which was stuck.
seventh, went to church ( http://www.thebridgecollective.com )please check this out...way cool... with lindsey and steven.



yeah...i feel refreshed lord.thank you..you know i needed that.

' in your presence we find strength to face the day..........all our fears are washed away.'

compromise.

when something is exciting.
when something is new.
when we want something out of its timing.
when we lose our focus.

help.

Guide

When i went to Bali in Aug 08 i hiked a volcano. it was dry unlike any track i've ever been on. Stones and dust all the way with the occasional shrub everywhere. It was unfamiliar ground besides the fact that it was cold and pitch black and i was wearing jeans, yeah it was a bit tight lar ok.

I learnt two things ( fine i learnt much more than two things..but for now lets just read it as two things i want to record in public) :

#1 : When you pee on dry dusty ground, behind a massive rock, it's darn wierd! cause you see it flow on like water on sand..hahahah

#2 : HOW and What God does as our guide in Life.

mY BALI guide :)

He leads you cause he knows the way even when it's too dark to see anything.
He talks to you as you journey on.
He answers your questions when t matters and remains quiet when it doesn't matter.
He encourages me to concentrate by giving prompting bout the terrain we're going through,.
He leads me to rest when he feels I could use a break.
He holds my hand when i'm not sure i could go on anymore.
He pulls me up when my feet fail.
He leads me in making decisions on where to place my foot on,
He warns me of slippery path.
He feeds me.
He gives me a warm cup of coffee when i'm freezing cold.
He reveals the wonders that he knows to me.
He laughs with me.
He leads me to exciting paths and even when i'm scared he talks me into it and i have a whirlwind of fun.
He knows what he's doing.
I trust him fully.

Let me never fail to remember that you are my guide, Oh Lord.

Here I come 2009

Life is never filled with a bed of roses all the time.
It is never predictable.
It is never always happy.
It is hard to understand.
But, with my best friend beside me i realise that;
Life is always good and purposeful.
I am ready for this year.



I am a dreamer
Use me Lord to impact Your world
Take me higher
let me see like you..higher are your thoughts
Open the sky up
give me opportunities
Start a fire
fill me with passion
I believe
i trust you
Even if it's just a dream
all things are possible with you
