Not because of what I've done

A song that I've been listening to lately. Like a million times.

God is Love. He loves me not because what I've done for him. Lord God himself is Love. He never let go of me. Because of His love, I am excited about my next chapter. Thank you Lord!

A Lifetime Commitment..

A vow that I made.. A lifetime promise that I would keep.. to please my Father in heaven and for a rich life that no one else than my Father could provide..

I need to learn...

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to our brother,' Let me take the speck out of your eye when all the time there is a plank in your own eye. You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from you brother's eye.'

Matthew 7:3-5

Review yourself...

I was reading my friends' blog and stumbled across this video. I was literally shaken after I watched the video. How could this happened? And how could the other colleagues just let her got beaten? With the amount of colleagues (there's like 4 or 5 guys), they couldn't pull one guy away from a lady? How possible is that? Okay it is possible since it happened! But what was in their minds at that moment I would like to ask..




For those who cant read Mandarin, this video is about a man went into a KFC store and as the KFC's staff refused to deliver ice-cream cone since it was not an item for delivery. The man literally demanded for the ice-cream to be delivered and when the manager refused, the man got furious and started to throw things at the manager. When the manager asked her staff to make a phone call to the police, the man went into the counter and beat up the manager. The manager was actually 2months pregnant.

I was deeply sadden. But when I re-read my friends' blog post, I felt ashamed. Let me import it for ya.

What are you thinking?

Why is this man doing this? This is crude? This is wrong? He shouldnt do this?

Who are we to point finger at him? Are we any better than him just because we dont hit a pregnant woman?
How many times have we lost our temper? How many times have we hurl abuse (verbal) at people when we are angry?

1 Peter 2:23
"When they hurl their insults at Him, He did not retaliate;
when He suffered, He made no threats.
Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly."

Then take a look at the people around. Did they help? Did they stop the man? Did they protect the manager?

We may not be in this type of situation all the time. But there are needs of people that we can meet.

Have you ever walk pass a poor person without stopping to help?
Have you been to busy to help the people around you?
Have you been too afraid to go comfort a crying girl?
Have you ever seen a person in need and just brush it off and say that somebody else will help the person?

I have. So who am i to point my finger at the man or the people who didnt help?

However, let us make this summer really WARM. Let Jesus be our example.

Galatians 5:13
"You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use youe freedom to indulge in the sinful nature; rather, Serve one another in LOVE."

Let us show love to the people around us and help anyone who crosses our paths. ok?

Hebrews 10:24
"And let us consider how we may spur one another towards and good deeds."

Fly Up High...

I am happy.. more than happy.. I am contented!
Happiness can be such simple, when u surrender all and let things flow..

I am a fighter..I've been telling myself there is nothing that I can achieve, things are within my hands. All I need to is fight hard for it. But what to do when things started to go the opposite way of what you think it would be, when things are falling apart?

Will you fall apart too? Well, that's what happened to me! Crazy it was. I was trembled. Yet I still walked with head high up but there's this part in me who is scared and losing in direction.
Our own mind can build us into character, in the other hand, it can destroy us too.

I am feeling different now. Feeling optimistic and refreshed. Friends never fail to be there. HE used them to speak to me before HE touched me. Friends that don't allow me to cry because it breaks their heart when they see my tears. Friends that encourage me and it made me feel so ashamed! But they are the angels, to deliver message from HIM.

Simple theory, simple teaching, simple understanding. But I failed to apply it.
Be like a child, trust with no doubts. People can say you're naive or stupid, however, that's what HE asks for. Let go and let HIM does the wonders.

And then, you are set free. I am free. I am feeling joy & peace. I am smiling for no reason just because I feel so happy. Because I know that I am loved. And nothing beats this feeling!!

Love you dear Father!!

You make it Real

You make it real by James Morrison

Mmmmm
There's so much craziness, surrounding me
There's so much going on, it gets hard to breathe
When all my faith has gone, you bring it back to me
You make it real for me

When I'm not sure of, my priorities
When I've lost site of, where I'm meant to be
Like holy water, washing over me
You make it real for me

And I'm running to you baby
You are the only one who saved me
That's why I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

When my head is strong, but my heart is weak
I'm full of arrogance, and uncertainty
But I can find the words, you teach my heart to speak
You make it real for meee, yeaaa

And I'm running to you baby
Cause you are the only one who saved me
That's whyyy I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

Ohhh
Everybodies talking in words
I don't understand
You got to be the only one
Who knows just who I am
Your shinin in the distance
I hope I can make it through
Cause the only place
That I want to be
Is right back home with you

I guess there's so much more
I have to learn
But if you're here with me
I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere,
Somewhere I can learn
You make it real for me

And I'm running to you baby
Cause you are the only one who saved me
That's why I've been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me

You make it real for me

Trust God's Ways

I wasn't feeling exactly well these 2 weeks..
Somehow felt tired easily, handling things emotionally..

I'm one dislikes uncertainties. Sometimes I want things to go the way I hope for.I preferred to know what is going on and where should i draw the line. Somehow, somethings just don't have the answer yet. The bad case was I'm easily affected by it. I was waiting and waiting and slowly losing my patience. yet I kept myself hanging on there.When i felt disappointed, I put on the mask to pretend I'm okay. I encouraged people to be strong but I am one that pretend to be strong. I was scared for being like this. I don't like it. Where is the joy i was asking. So i kept praying and praying to my Daddy..

One night, when i no longer could pretend nothing happened and be strong, I cried when i was talking to Daddy. Then Daddy used this passage to remind me about His grace.

Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways...For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

I kept fighting and resisting things that I thought was from devil. However the truth is they are attempt from God to work something good in my life. I failed to recognize that things that make me feel bad are not necessarily bad for me. Daddy has His own ways which are not my ways and He knows what the best for me.

Daddy's never-ending-&-more-than-enough love has touched my heart again and again. I know that He is preparing me now for things that coming in the way. All I need is to trust Him wholly, surrender all and always know that He is good :)

Experienced a first time today.
An Indian preacher who preached the whole sermon in Tamil (thou he has his translator with him). Cool weii..
It was fun except that was having some difficulties understand the translator. I still remembered that when he asked us to flipped our bible to read our first passage, I heard him saying 'Sam 122 dadada'. I was blurred at that moment, thinking is there a book of Sam in bible?? Couldn't be. I never came across that. Then only me & Kenin found out he was referring to book of Psalm. LOL!!
Btw, He's a prophet! Amazing one!! :)


Will be attending Catholic Church in the morning. Wonder how's the service gonna be. Will update after i got back :)

I confess...

Today's sermon was by Ps. Harold Chaala.
A very anointed & spiritual pastor & artist.
His words today has led me to look into my deep down dark side of myself..
where i see all the sins I've committed, see all the excuses I've given to escape from my sins, see all the anger, hatred, impatience, unhappy & the miserable me..

Ps. Harold said this ' Sin is what separate you from fellowship with God. You can't keep repeating your sin then go back to God again, thinking that God will always forgive you.'

I felt so so so terrible. I asked myself what am I doing. Don't I know long enough that my life is preciously given by God and my purpose of life is to fulfill my assignment given by Him. Yet, why am I still sinning?? Uggghhh.. it was really bad.. I was hated myself so much during that moment.

When Ps. Harold asked for those who wanted prayer, I rose up on my feet, went to the front, and start confessing my sins to God. I felt so ashamed to ask for God's forgiveness as He has given more than enough to me and I'm the one not fully appreciating what He has given to me and keep asking for those that are not belongs to His will. I was trembled. I couldn't stop praying and praying and praying.


'Lord, I come to You,
Let my heart be changed, renewed,
Flowing from the grace,
That I found in You
Lord, I've come to know,
The weaknesses I see in me,
Will be stripped away,
By the power of Your love

Hold me close,
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near,
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait,
I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You,
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your Love '

This song was playing in my mind during the altar call. As I prayed, I know God never give up in me and He's touching my heart to tell me that He love me. Don't forget, you are being loved, by the one and the highest God. And there I found Peace.


Aren't my God wonderful? :)

A gift from God's angel :):)

U're created to make an impact.
Rise up & be a blessing!!
