Sun Ho - Secret Place

Cloth me in Your presence Lord,
Draw me near to You,
All my heart, I long to give to Yo
Living to be near You Lord I long to see Your face
Lord forever You're my secret place.

-

Hillsongs - Still

When the oceans and thunders roar,
I will soar with you,
above the storms,
Father You are King over the flood,
I will be still, know You, are God

-

Hillsongs - Here I am to worship, Call Upon

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God...

Call Upon the name of the Lord,
and be save...
call upon the name of the Lord
and be save...

-

Ronin - One more moment

Don't take too long to say I love you to the ones you love
cos time has a habit of slipping away

and the words that seem so hard to say come out when you've gone away...

and I want you here tonight,
and I need you by my side for just one more moment, for just one more moment with you...

-

Dialet - Kan Wa Eh Qiu

meaning: Hold my hand

-

Hillsongs - How can you refuse Him now?

There's a story old, that has often been told,
Of how our savior died, as they nailed his hands,
He cried they don't understand,
As the blood flowed from his side.

Delirious? - Solid Rock

On Christ the solid rock we will stand
all other grounds is sinking sand.
On Christ the solid rock we will stand
We'll climb on Your back, take us to higher ground.

Christian City Church - But God

The road is long, the valleys deep, the oceans wide in-front me.
But God save the day, Jesus, You're the way the truth the light the hope for all mankind!

All

Was just looking around, at things people blog about, the things that I do...

Realized that, really, there are so many things, unimportant things that distract us from the more important things in life...

Reminds me of the story of the sands and rocks of our lifes.

We've got a jar, and that jar represents the amount of time we have.
We've got rocks, stones, pebbles and sand.

Simple analogy, We fill in the bigger ones, then the small one will fill up the gaps.

Whats the message behind it?
Simple,

If we dont fit in the more important things in life, they will never get in there.
Will all the rocks fit in if we already have the pebbles and sand inside?

:)
what is important to you?


Lets pour in some water. :)
that no matter how full the jar already is, there will always be space for a cuppa.
For a breather.

Time is never enough, make time.
Work will never finish, stop work, start play.
There will never be enough people to serve, everywhere needs people to serve. take time to worship.

Optimist

The Eternal Optimist - Beth Dalton

Jun 1, '05 11:49 AM for everyone

We have been lucky to be blessed with three sons. They have each brought us special joy with their individual personalities, but our middle son, Billy, is fondly known as the “eternal optimist.” I wish that we could take credit for this attitude, but it’s something he was born with! For example, he had always been an early riser and liked to get in our bed at 5A.M. As he would crawl into our bed, we would admonish him to be quiet and go back to sleep. He would lie on his back and say in a falsetto whisper, “ It’s going to be a beautiful morning. I hear the birds singing.”

When we would ask him to stop talking to us, he would reply, “I not talking to you; I talking to me!”

In kindergarden, he was asked to draw a tiger. Now, while optimism is Billy’s strong suit, art is not, and his tiger came out with a crooked head and one eye that appeared to be shut. When his teacher asked him about why the tiger had one eye closed, he replied, “Because he’s saying, “Here’s looking at you, kid!’”

Also, when he was five, he got into an argument with his older brother about whether a man on TV was bald. Billy said, “He’s not bald. He’s like Papa. He’s only bald when he looks at you. When he walks away, he had lots of hair!”

These memories and many, many more led up to the ultimate optimistic statement. Our third son, Tanner, was stricken with hemolytic uremic syndrome on a Tuesday and died the following Sunday. Billy was seven. The night after Tanner’s funeral I was putting Billy to bed. I often used to lie down beside him to discuss the day. On this particular night, we lay quietly in the dark with not much to say. Suddenly, from the dark, Billy spoke.

He said, “I feel sorry for us, but I almost feel more sorry for all those other people.” I questioned him about which people he was talking about. He explained, “The people who never knew Tanner. Weren’t we lucky to have had Tanner with us for 20 months. Just think, there are lots of people who were never lucky enough to know him at all. We are really lucky people.”

overly familiar

Hi all,

been a long long day, running around for my kids, then Brownies.

Took all my 8 scarfs home to help them iron... oh no... dunno what im thinking about...

anyway,

Was just "screaming" at one of the girls for tapping me on my arm.

That was kind of like what my leader taught me before,
never be overly familiar with my leaders. Like grabbing them on the elbow, tapping them on their shoulder.

Its kind of like looking at the pastors, would one pastor grab another pastor by the hand, or cut into conversation?

same thing for my kids,
would the VP grab the P on the elbow just to get the attention? Even if they are really close friend, in a working environment where respect and authority is of esteemed position?

Guess thats how it is ba,
drawing the line,
knowing where is it thats overstepping the line of authority.

*yawnZ*
got to go iron things le...

bookS

Bought BOOKS today...
so many many many books. all under the cost of $10 each.

Times is having sales at Hall 4, thats why happen to drop by.
Bought "But God" from Attributes, cost me $25bucks...

Thought it be a good book to buy, cos there are sometimes, though I know the scripture by heart, I just dont seem to be able to apply.
Everyone has their down time. That would be a good book to be a reminder.
and on top of that,
like what a choir member reminded me,
its not about having read it once.
but what you catch each time you encounter it.

YeH!

Its all UP! time now~

THough physically down, yet I know and I know, its all UP! time now.
Cos what wont break you will make you stronger!

hmm... missed the fellowship with my fellow cell members.





Cant wait to blog my next revelation!

Anew!

First it was the throat,
next it was the nose,
then it was the lungs,
now its the eyes.

Tell not the Lord how big the storms are,
Tell the storm how big Thy Lord is.

Happened to see the cross while running about to change and all that.
Wanted to take a picture of it,

The cross that I couldnt bear.

Lets try it on a daily basis.

-

For how long more can all these last?
For how long more will these struggles be.
Has it all been finished?

It is all good,

Because with the grace of God, we are going to start anew.

friend

Went out to meet a friend,

was just listening to him,
how he was, who he is.

the bladdering, the freedom to share what was in the heart,
the revealing of that young heart that thought one is ready to settle down, has settled down, when it hadnt begun.

Its been so long since I last did that.

-

Speak less, watch, observe, learn and pray more.

Proverbs 10: 19
In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

not to be wise in one's eyes, but seeking to have the Fear of the Lord.

-

seeking love in the wrong places.

that point of time in life, when one is really down,
yearning for that encouragement, that hug, that love that assurance.
that touch from God,

seeking love in the wrong places.

Glad to have met him, he was a man that I knew at a point of my life when I needed someone to confirm my decisions.

Not in the season
-

I want my man to be able to know and kiss me when I'm feeling silly.

4ever

Pst Phil came!!!

and left,

but he'll be back again,

So many things that he preached about,
being anointed to and for the things that was meant to be done at the specific place, specific time, in the will of God.

About going through trials that we may acknowledge that all provision is from Him, what we have is nothing.
That what we cannot do, that we will succeed in.

Hadnt been around for the past few weeks.
Guess its an internal battle Im going through.
Fighting to meet expectations of people.
Fighting to be fruitful like others do.
Thats when I broke through and realize,
God, its not about the relationship with other people's expectation, not the leaders, not the expectation I have on myself, Its a relationship with you.
Its the turning to you when I know I couldnt meet other people's expectation.
Its the turning to you seeking that touch from heaven, the Love of God.

-

A parliment of Baboons

Haha!
-

Reminds me of what Pst preached,
about how when the anointing of that one single appointed person was given to 40 others,
they fell down prophesying.

Thats really how Gifts works.
When we have a gift, we got to learn how to control it.
As the example was, it was overwhelming for them, that didnt know how to control, so they lost control and just let the words flow.

Practice using the gift that we receive from God. learn to control it. when to release and bless the people, when to withhold that the people may learn more.
Most of all, use it as according to the will of God.

-

Being not just a Godly Man, but a Man after God's heart.

-

A pure heart,
thats what I long for,
A heart that follows hard after Thee;
A pure heart,
thats what I long for.
A heart that follows hard after Thee.

A heart that hides Your Word,
So that sin will not come in,
A heart thats undivided,
But one You rule and reign;
A heart that beats compassion,
That pleases You, my Lord.
A sweet aroma of worship
That rises to Your throne

-

Ye though I walk through the valley of shadow of death
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me,
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

answers

:)

The answer is in...

the 2 hours wait for the bus to come that got me to calm down. (Thats God asking me, Will I wait to see His plan unfold?)

the 2 friendly guides that decided to come and talk to me seeing that I've decided to isolate myself. (Thats God coming down in the form of human, touching heart, changing lifes)

the passion I saw in the young ladies that decided to embrace this woman movement. ( Thats God in giving people a purpose, a love, a hunger, an involvement, a sense of belonging, a nurturing opportunity.)

the coldness of this secret friend that didnt seem to react towards my proactiveness towards her. (Thats God reaching out to me, I didnt see)

the gift that I prepared for my secret friend that I wished I had bought something better (Thats God teaching me, the best gift is the gift of salvation)

the other girl that appeared to be so much more reluctant than I do. (Thats God teaching me to be a disciple of His and shine for Him no matter the situation)

the weather that rain. (Thats God showing me His approval, showing me that there if I want to see the rainbow I need to get through the rain)

the miracle of God that taught me that no matter what, like it or not, it is all in His plan.

The answer, He is there. It was meant to be that way.

The answer, That all things work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.


Hope you are bless.
Even more than I am.

In the times of trial, would God be saying "Why do you accuse me of having ill intentions when I care more for your character than your comfort"

Love,
Amanda

It is now tuesday 7+pm,

But Ya,
Its entirely O% Motivation.

Its Holiday,
I Am Sick.
I Need to Rest.

But its full Wednesday to Friday in Camp Christine.

Where is God in this?

I want to do what I want to do

Felt so buried.

Do I have a choice?
Yes I do.
Defer the course.
But that would be smacked into the Asian Conference, and No, I dont want to miss that.

oki, i am extremely immature in handling this.

Haiz...

Life is what I want it to be.

I'll go ask God for an answer...

Peanuts & Jesus

Charlie Brown Meets Baby Jesus

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - Sir John Bowring

For years I had carefully placed the little plastic Nativity scene under the Christmas tree. It had been purchased along with our other meager decorations the first Christmas we were married back in 1962. My husband was finishing his fourth and last year at college, and money was tight. Each year as Christmas approached, I looked longingly at the beautiful wood and ceramic creches, wondering when there would be enough extra money to purchase one.

Finally the day arrived. Our sons were eleven and fourteen, and we had recently moved into our newly built house. I watched the after-Christmas sales and there it was, nothing elaborate, not a large creche, but it was wood and ceramic with 50 percent off the original price. We made our way to the local department store with all the other bargain shoppers, purchased the creche and carefully packed it away until the following Christmas.

Several weeks before the next Christmas, we brought the box from the basement and arranged the creche in a place of honor in the center hall where, as I went from one part of the house to another, I could enjoy the treasured gift. An angel on the top watched over Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus. Jesus lay in the manger with outstretched arms, surrounded by wise men, shepherds and animals.

One day as I hurried by the creche, something caught my eye. I stopped to look and there beside the manger, looking down at the baby Jesus, was a rubber figure of Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown! Charlie Brown from the beloved Peanuts cartoon series.

I was quick, much too quick, to question the boys and say, "Get that thing out of my creche." I knew instantly our youngest son, Mark, had been the culprit as he looked at me with his boyish grin.

Charlie Brown disappeared. Christmas was over and the wooden stable and ceramic figures were lovingly packed away.

As Christmas approached the following year, the creche was again displayed in its place of honor. It was the first thing holiday guests saw as they entered the front door. It was the last thing we saw each night as we turned off the lights and headed up the stairs to bed.

Several days before Christmas as I passed the creche, I was again surprised. There gazing down at the baby Jesus was not only Charlie Brown but on the other side of the manger stood another little rubber figure. Linus! Linus, blanket and all, stood looking into the outstretched arms of Baby Jesus.

For some strange reason as I beheld this, I was not upset as I had been the previous year. Maybe the creche didnt belong to me alone. Maybe Mark, with his childish prank, was showing he loved it as much as I did. Maybe this young boy was mature beyond his years, knowing the baby with his outstretched arms was for everyone.

That afternoon as I watched my children get off the school bus and head for the house, my heart overflowed with love for them. I smiled when I mentioned that Charlie Brown once again mysteriously appeared in the creche and now Linus had joined him.

As the years went by, I never knew when Charlie Brown and Linus would make their mysterious arrival, but Christmas after Christmas they showed up, looking down into the outstretched arms of baby Jesus.

Mark left for college, but each Christmas Charlie Brown and Linus came home for Christmas break too.

Then came marriage and the move away from home. Still Charlie Brown and Linus continued to find their way into our creche each Christmas.

Last Christmas I stood back with tears in my eyes as Mark bent over the creche with his little daughter, Savannah, helping her quietly and carefully place Charlie Brown and Linus beside the baby Jesus when they thought I wasn't looking.

As the creche was carefully packed away in its now-torn tissue paper and aging box, I smiled to myself secure in the thought that the tradition of Charlie Brown and Linus would continue. And secure in the knowledge that these outstretched arms of the Christ Child welcome us all to the manger.

Extraction from my Spiritual Diary...

-
March the 5th, I am not feeling so well. Bad flu, a little throat infection, doctor says flam might have affect lungs, still not recovered by friday, need to go for X-ray.

Been experiencing shortness of breath, lack of stamina, breathing difficult and a little toss at night will cause my heartbeat to increase at unreasonable rate.
Doctor says all these may develop into an asthma.

Felt really weak. Use to be able to teach 3 hour non-stop, now, 1 hour collapse on table. Don't know whats been happening.

Been trying to get through this sin problem. Get over it for a while and yet fall back into it again before this illness. Was thinking, could it be judgement from God?

So today I want to get it cleared once and for all.

Illness is not from God, my God does not treat me like my sin deserve.

I know I'll emerge from this victoriously, because I can say to myself, that I have been through this with God.

Yea though I walk through the valley of shadow of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff they comfort me.

Hallelujah!
