yesterday

God is good!



Was just looking at another friend's blog... wah... she has that song!
not that its any super great song or limited edition or something. Cos anything online will no longer by authentically limited edition.

just happened to be a song not yet sung as a worship or praise song and by our worship leader belle...

I am so jealous!

but oh well, we dont always get what we want do we?
:D

Was just last night I realize I lost my verse 3 of Ps 23
"He restores my soul;
He leads me on the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake"

I memorized Ps 23 long time ago.
hadnt been speaking it recently so verse 3 slipped off my mind.
:D

Was just reading it from the bible when "He restores my soul" jump up unto me. :)
Never really did look at it in a apply it to life way.

Has your soul been restored?
the times when you screamed out for a fresh touch from heaven, and He graced the event?
Thats restore my soul.

I'm so thankful for whats happening.

My work stole me away from the Lord for about 5 weeks. Literally.
so physically tired, and spiritually weak.

when my wake-up call came, *piak* across the face, then I realize, I've been feeding my physical body with rest, but what about my spirit man? have I been restored yet?
:)

I love the Lord, and I'm really grateful for His longsuffering, still standing by though I've been neglecting Him for almost 5 weeks, more than a month!

Oh ya ar, it shows, one can be going to church attends cellgroup, be presented as "involved" though the heart is a total stranger.

God is good!

*I'm coming back to the heart of worship, when its all about you... its about you Jesus*

Is your heart cold today?

Went for choir pract last night. Was just chatting with a friend. Then I realize.
In the process of dating,
A young girl would more or less loss her ability to talk about anything else besides her relationship with the guy. :D In all conversations, there will be a little hint of him. :D

A young man, *though he's a man* will have a major part of his expenditure spend on the girl. and sometimes even pushing off his needs.

:D
well, that's wat I call a man that is madly in-love. :D

Was just observing, and I thought I saw a reflection of myself.
The very loud body language, talk alot, didnt think through the things I say.

I still talk alot, I still dont think twice about what I say sometimes, but God is good. My current job is the perfect job to help me clear it all off. :D

But guess what, being a chatterbox can be irritating sometimes.

Just like how one of my pupils who always have something to say, nonconstructive comments. Am I like that? do I have alot of un-necessary comments too? O_O
God to watch myself.

That draws me to the point.
Is it enough just to look cute? That itself is attractive to a guy?

Reminds me of what people would say.

"Looks cute la huh, but once she open her mouth... thats it"
:D

then again there are many sides to a person isn't there?

I pray that I'll be more and more like the Father each day. :)

A consecrated heart, mind and mouth.

Be Bless!
Love,
Amanda

P/s: I'm going to Sentosa later!!!! Hope its not going to be squeezing with the foreign workers since today is a public holiday. :)

Be-Beautiful



one of my darling's going for canning the next schooling day...

dunno how to handle... is it the way i am is wrong, or is it just the child is different.

why is it so. I'm really puzzled.

my pupils say I am not strict...

where should I be? do i want to be nice (of course fierce when I have to) or do i want to be strict? both gets work done, just one doesnt address emotional need and the other, the discipline problem...

is it wrong to have an open and friendly deposit with my kids?
Do i have to really be always strict?

:)

In due season the answer will come...

was just reading up on Mat 5.

After showing them the miracles and healing they followed Jesus, over the mountain and the sea...

and then Jesus began to teach them...

hmm... i wonder,
certainly its about Having compassion on them that He would teach...
I think they are coming to Jesus because they are keen on knowing how He did these miracles.

So Jesus taught them how to be a Christian, not a formula, but rather, how to establish a relationship with God.

Lo and Behold, He started off with... the Beattitudes,
:D
and then Salt and Light...
and then the teachings that reflects the 10 Commandments.

it reminds me, what is a relationship with God if u have the 10 Commandments if you dont have the beautiful attitudes?

Isnt it just like the Pharisees?

Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

WWJD?

Be Bless~

X'mas

was just reading the bible, went into the Christmas story,



Was just contemplating on Joseph's reaction.
One moment The Angel of the Lord sent him to this place,
and the next moment to another, and yet again another place. and then Lo and Behold just when he was on his way there, he heard news, really bad news. So he had to change his course...

to me its really interesting...

how is it that someone could just be so confident to be led at the nose.
Just literally going everywhere by faith.

What happen at the times when he is hearing nothing from God?

Then again, if you wife is pregnant in a supernatural way, and much was presented to you at the point of his birth. and was mute till the point that u agree to His name as appointed, I think you would have that kind of Faith too.

Draws me back to the thought.
Good things comes after much hardship.

Just as how they were rejected by the inns and hostels, and had to put up at a barn. Then come the time when the wise man and rich rulers came with their gold frankincense and myrhh.

:)

* Away in a manger no crib for a bed the Little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head, the stars in sky look down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay... *

Im so looking forward to Christmas, Carolling!

*Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy bible say, Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day~
Hark now hear the Angel sing, and listen to what they say, and man will live for evermore, because of Christmas.*

Accept the name of yourself before walking in Reality.

rest

Was on the cab down to choir practise yesterday, when the taxi driver talk about his experiences with dealing with people, which lead him to be a taxi driver.

His command of English was quite good, so I was wondering y be a cab driver.

Thats when he being to shared. He said, theres so many different kinds of people around.

Even just when you thought you have a good friend, or someone worth your time and attention, he or she could just disappoint you entirely.

Its as though A always share heart matters with B,
One day, A feels really down, and B too is down. But A didnt know that B was down.

A turns to B, B tells A that he/she is not ready to talk.
and BaMb, B has no one to turn to le...

thats the beauty of life ba, look around you, do friends really stay.
If they do, is it necessary after all to be entirely dependent on them and allow your emotions to be suayed by them?

Can the blind lead the blind?
-

Went down to school today to finish up some cases.
I asked myself why didnt I rested at home,
and I answered, because I want to make use of the time to finish up the work,
then it came onto me.
Why Rush?
you have the same 24hrs as others, others workload might be even more than yours, they dont push, why do you push?

Guess its not so smart for me to return to work today afterall.

Got to learn to take care of myself even more.

the best time to rest is before needing to rest.

so the time is now.

:D

thanks for spending time~
Be Bless!

Snow White

If you set your mind on something, go do it. cos at the end of the day, its not about pleasing other people around you, its about pleasing the person you see in the mirror reflection.

*pls place a mirror in-front of you*

Are you happy with yourself?

Be Blessed~
