To whom much has been given,
much more shall be required.
You have given gold and silver,
will you give to Him your life?
Will you labour with your savior,
will you do as He desires?
For to whom much has been given,
much more shall be required.


a heart fully surrendered to His control...

somehow managed to pull my calf muscle when i got up this morning. the sudden sharp pain and tightness was intolerable so i sat on my bed for half a minute, wanting to scream, but not wanting to alarm my family. knew the only way to stop the muscle spasm was to move, so i gave in after half a minute and tried to get off the bed. thankfully the pain wasnt excruciating after i moved, and i managed to limp to the toilet.

thank God nothing serious happened. walking turned out fine, though squatting and going down the stairs was a problem. but ah... im glad its better now. muscle still rather tight though. guess i need to stretch it more.

all in a day's work

now i realised its not rare anymore for me to have a day packed to the brim with things to do. but heh a fruitful yesterday!

finally done after drafting and re-drafting... and then moved on to prepping for 5pm as well as reading my class stuff and doing the homework. should say that time was on my side somehow despite all the stuff i had to chiong out.

so, maybe the prep kinda paid off, but i went in there and it was not as bad as i thought (though i did smoke my way through some questions).

and well...had a good time after that which kinda made up for everything i had to rush through.




thanks =)


some part of me wants to just let it be.......
but the other half thinks after would be better

Here is love vast as the ocean
Loving kindness as the flood
When the Prince of life, our ransom
Shed for us His precious blood
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten
Throughout Heaven's eternal days

On the Mount of Crucifixion
Fountains opened deep and wide
Through the floodgates of God's mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide
Grace and love, like mighty rivers
Poured incessant from above
And Heaven's peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love

Let us all His love accepting
Love Him ever all our days
Let us seek His Kingdom only
And our lives be to His praise
He alone shall be our glory
Nothing in the world we see
He has cleansed and sanctified us
He Himself has set us free

In His truth He does direct me
By His Spirit through His Word
And His grace my need is meeting
As I trust in Him, my Lord
All His fullness He is pouring
In His love and power in me
Without measureFull and boundless
As I yield myself to Thee

They have seen me through everything thus far.
Parents are God-sent.
Every single time I reflect upon something I have said or done,
I realise how I have taken things for granted.
They give freely without remembering.
Thank God for them.

tk God for the clarifications.
a load off my mind.








actually, at this point, i just feel like.........................
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Tk God for the message tonight.
It struck me how most of the time feelings and circumstances cloud up our lives.
But faith is trusting in God, not knowing what will happen. It is believing in things yet unseen and unknown.
It is a personal walk with God, with patience and persistence, knowing that He will provide.





tk God for always being there for me, fang!
tk God also for marcus, who is always so willing to accompany me home from church.
and tk you for asking how i am earlier. :) all smiles yeah?
at the crossroads in life, where major decisions have to be made.

sheer optimism and resilience keeps me pressing on...
i guess what was said is true as well.
now im really very confused.
Lord, what are You teaching me?
i need You to speak, i really do.







Endurance - the capacity to remain under the stress until God's work is done
Glad that God doesnt play hide and seek
He's not going to show up at the end, and say, "I'm sorry, I've been really busy that I couldn't answer you"
God is faithful and He never changes...

to be that good testimony...

Amazed

I am just so amazed by You.

Decided to just go ahead and submit the form. Managed to get another teacher to write instead. Thank God!

Realised that many people have already been shortlisted. Ah, but I'm not unduly worried. If its His will, He will let it come to pass. Just waiting patiently for the letter/email/call?



you will never know if you never try...

I realise God provides just enough for every situation He places us in. And well, He really answers when we ask, even to little things like the rain.

Thank You for this work You have placed me in. I would never have learnt so much. Really amazed by how You are carrying me through life's journey ahead.

Let me live in the present, each day as it comes, looking up. And, I really shouldn't be taking all the little things for granted. I am grateful.
I really can't decide if i should submit that form. The deadline is just 7 days away, and i haven't gotten all the reference letters yet. I know i want to, but time is not on my side. And, its so difficult for the people you have asked to get back to you in time, considering that they are all busy people.






Praying for wisdom, strength and guidance to know and do what is right and pleasing in Your sight.

how long is the road, how long is the ride

Sunday, March 22, 2009

God never moves without purpose or plan.
When trying His servant and molding a man.
Give thanks to the Lord though your testing seems long;
In darkness He giveth a song.

O rejoice in the Lord,
He makes no mistake,
He knoweth the end of each path that I take,
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.

I could not see through the shadows ahead;
So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead,
I bowed to the will of the Master that day;
Then peace came and tears fled away.

Now I can see testing comes from above,
God strengthens His children and purges in love.
My Father knows best, and I trust in His care;
Through purging more fruit I will bear.

been rather busy with work stuff, apps etc
physically quite exhausted,
but, i thank God for His promises that spoke to me in a personal way...

Psalms 94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

2 Cor 4:16-18 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Matt 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

sometimes all we need is just a little more faith...

Thursday, March 19, 2009

but its good to know.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009
