ice cream and His word

I've been eating ice cream this whole entire week! Sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, friday, sunday!!! ARGH! but how can you resist this! I'd be happy to have desserts as meals! :) yum yum.

romanoff, ice passion tea and mocha from coffee club.

Anyway, I have come to realize the realness and loveliness of God once again. Just last Sunday, my friend recieved Christ - knew her for only a week or so... but God moves and He moves swiftly! Angels in heaven must be singing hallelujah! and just this week, Pastor benny ho reminded us that we cannot be our own High priest for we have one who is greater than anyone else in this world, and He is our High Priest! :) the healing service was a blessing indeed... with Rev. Dr magaret seaward.. hee such an energetic and high-spirited lady of Christ! wish i can just have a quarter of her enthusiasm. and then she preached at upper room this sunday too.. wow. Fear not! for the one who is in us in greater than the one in the world! :) yeah man!

To have faith in Christ is like falling into a never-ending ocean but knowing that He's always there waiting to catch hold of you.

How amazing is His grace!

My wonderous Saviour

Never lose the wonder of our God.

Happy father's day

"He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children,

and the hearts of the children to their fathers;

or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

Malachi 4:6

Open my ears Lord!

Love my cell. :) had cell in malaysia today.. oops! i mean Delia's cosy home.

What spoke to me the most was when Willard talked about us living in a world much too obsessed by practical concerns. one governed by a fallen ideology. I.e. our minds are shaped such that we do not included God in the physicality of life.. we don't see God as a reason for scientific experiments, if you get what i mean.

What matters most is that we have a genuine, living relationship with God. He quoted from 2 Kings.. The king of Syria was at war with Israel. Eeverytime he laid his battle plans, Elisha would tell them to the king of Israel. One day the king of Syria went right to the heart of the problem. He went to capture Elisha. When Elisha's young helper stepped outside one morning he found they were completely surrounded by Syrian troops.

"When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked.

"Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha." --- 2 Kings 6:15-17

Spiritual reality is a type of reality that does not necessarily reveal itself to good eyesight. Every working of visible reality is a movement within the encompassing Logos, the Word of God, and it rests on nothing else but God through his Son (Heb 1:1-3). God CAN speak to us! and He should! and He does! and He would!

yay.

o Hallelujah!

o Hallelujah.. There is much rejoicing in heaven as a lost sheep is found. One of my unimates has finally allowed God to fill his heart :) Yay!

Was eating dinner with them <-- when he suddenly bowed his head and say grace. I was like, "huh!? YAY!".. i felt so happy, really really happy! hurray!

Pray and hope that God will continue to shine His light on my friend's life as well as the lives of all those who have yet to acknowlege and respond to His call.

wife training

I have no work. and unhappily so. and classifieds has become my new best friend. and the email too. Really do hope that one of the 12 job applications i sent out will respond postively.

hee.

Have decided to enter the most wanted training camp for potential wifeies (sp?)! the commandant's none other than my mother... okok. just joking. seriously speaking, i have a personal baking cum cooking teacher whom i haven't been vigorously learning from. hope it's not too late!

dedicated to the super cool wifey.. my mom, who even takes time to clean Billy (who was actually my responsibility)

Really thankful for a mom like my mom. Sometimes, I take her for granted (so sorry mama!); but really, she's wonderful. Thank God for blessing me with someone who's so dedicated to God and family; one who not only cooks and bakes so well but handles the home so beautifully; and gives excellent advice. Shortcomings yah.. but don't we all have? Anyway, Thank you God!

i fly

yummm... this says it all. haha. new york new york was crowded yet again but the food was good and we managed to charm ourselves out of the queue to the plush green seats, which according to my friend meryl (above) are really hard. ahh.. but the food was yummy and the fellowship was fun.

and that's weiting and meryl :) the cool dudes.. i mean dudettes.

a lil' bird left this on my window sill yesterday morning..

Have been thinking about 2 things lately: Growing up isn't like what i expected it to be. Perhaps the one thing that disgruntles me the most is that I don't seem to be growing up.. I see how people can manage and administrate things so well, yet I can't seem to get my brain moving. Maybe it's motivation. maybe it's not. but I'd really really like to prove myself wrong.. I'd like to try initiating and admistrating for once. Maybe it's not my raw material (haha. according to ortberg, we are to honor our raw material and listen to the voice of God, inorder to discern our "calling"). but maybe it's got to do with stepping out of the boat and walking on water. maybe God wants me to step out of my sampan at the point of my fears and frustrations in order to overcome them. haiyah. i also dunno.

the second thing is not much of a bother to me but just a thought.. you know when Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water? He actually lost his focus on Jesus and turned his attention to the looming storm which finally made him sink. Ortberg gave a really interesting point that drew my attention.. Resilient people find meaning and purpose in the storm. Sometimes, God comes, not in those moments when we are most lifted up, but when we are down lowest in the place of vulnerability and fear. Sometimes he comes, not on the mountaintop, but in the storm. So yeah, it's comforting to know that God is everywhere - wherever he wants us to be and not to be.
