do visit it :)

I've learnt that letting go isn't easy at all. who said it was to be easy? no one. the exact same struggles I go thru' are to make me stronger, these recurring trials I'm made to go thru' are for a purpose...that in the end I can proclaim that I'm found in Him, standing. 'cos I am. thanks Benny for the reminder :) - "God is your constant strength, that though it's a struggle and sometimes you fall, there's never a limit to the number of times God will pick you up. so don't give up". whatever we're going thru, things will be okay. in the fullness of His time, all things will be made right amen?

prelims in abit. take care while I'm gone. nerding's the new cool word. it's so in these days. 8-|

strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord;
how can we keep from singing His love?

pardon the "????" title, but I'm just excited about everything God has in store for everyone. haha, if that made any sense.

join past and present MG girls in a time of worship (and we believe, revival) @
LOVEMGS 2009: REJOICE!
TOMORROW, 24TH JULY,
~6 PM QUADRANGLE okkkk?

"It'll be an exciting and refreshing time " is an understatement. trust me! :)



founder's day dinner on saturday...yet another milestone in my life thus far (5/8 of which was spent schooling in MG). man, we're graduating at the end of this year. 2009. grahhhh, prelims in about 2 weeks! I haven't done a countdown. it's my first time not doing one, I think I'll be too stressed. friends and family support is important, and I thank God that I've got lots. when you let go and let God, you know He's taken the wheel, you're reassured that whatever you've set before him in prayer, through petition, and whoever you've lifted up to him (yes, prayer for a friend, remember? scroll down!) are in His hands and He will do as He deems fit. all you have to do is wait upon Him...wait upon our everlasting God. praise Him for every little good thing...and still praise Him for every bad thing. He turns things around, He does...
and yay, church on sunday. it seems like forever till the next sunday after a 'today' sunday (okay, as long as I get what I mean, hahaha)...you can worship God everyday anywhere, at home, in school, but it's always different when you're among a congregation AND on top of that, at least for me, seeing a bunch of oldies (yes some even in wheelchairs) faithfully coming for service can get very very heartening. it doesn't matter whether they can sit still for as long as a sermon lasts, have their attention on the speaker and screen for long, or whether they actually understand anything or not. because at some point in time, they've already accepted Him as their personal saviour, and for as long as they can, they'll worship Him with all their hearts while they're still alive. it's always lovely to hear AMAZING testimonies too...we've all got our own, I have mine, but it says something when you realise something you never thought could happen actually happened; it says something about God's Word. that it's true, "with God, all things are possible" (matt 19:26). hahah grahhh I don't like withdrawal symptoms. I miss serving on fridays but yes studies' #1 priority, it pleases God when we obey authority. grandparents love to see me at home on friday nights now - they ask "你今天没去教会啊？” (you're not in church tonight?) with a smile on their faces. now you never know what goes through their minds. they may start to be more curious about this God of ours...He never said we MUST go to church AT ALL CAUSE and He never said we couldn't stop serving Him, He isn't gonna get angry and I can never be His most loved child again (wait, I'm sure there's more to this, but I don't really know, so perhaps I'll ask my daddy tonight, haha) and as family, they're of course glad I'm responding to their concerns too. honestly, while I was still serving, they nagged at me every night! because they were worried I was spending (or to them, wasting) so much time on 'unnecessary' stuff. they only saw (and still see) my studies as the most important, and the only thing I should be focussing on right now. so whooopeee, I should really get off the comp. now.

I love my God. I love Him so so much. I hope you do too...and on a sidenote, I have a sudden urge to drum. wherere the drums when I need them!! cheers. :)

it's a bore, I know. but what matters is, silly things friends do cheer you up, anytime.

no hope? ;) and get well soon you. thank God my LOA didn't last long, but YOU. you better go back to school soon so you won't 'rot' at home!

because I'm not physically tired...loving without expecting any in return can get very tiring, but love is about sacrifice. it's not self-seeking. it's extremely patient and kind. it doesn't even envy...love, for real.

for the record! talking to Tiffany past midnight's good for the soul. totally brightens up our moods and refreshes our spirits for the brand new day. lifts any kind of stress for abit.

are we high or what?

our God is a faithful God.

Lord I lift my friend to You.
I've done all that I know to do.
I lift my friend, to You.
Complicated circumstances
have clouded his view.
Lord I lift my friend up to You.

I fear that I won’t have the words
that he needs to hear.
I pray for Your wisdom , oh God.
And a heart that's sincere.
And Lord I lift my friend up
to You.

Lord I lift my friend to You.
My best friend in the
world, I know he means much
more to You.
I want so much to help him, but
this is something he has to do.
Lord I lift my friend up to You.

There's a way that seems so right to him.
But You know where that leads.
He's becoming a puppet of the world.
Too blind to see the strings.
And Lord I lift my friend up to You.

Lord I lift my friend to You.
I've done all that I know to do.
I lift my friend, to You.
prayer for a friend - casting crowns

apt.

for all things good and bad, praise God.
from my lj:

that aside, more important matters! God has moved, God is still moving, and we're still expecting more.
His timing is perfect, thru' every season, in every situation, when life is smooth-going, and when storms rule. all the time, God is good. God is good, all the time! so here's where I've been brought back to (in His scriptures)...have a good read. you aren't alone and you're victorious!
"do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army (or great multitude, in another version). for the battle is not yours, but God's. tomorrow march down against them...you will not have to fight this battle. take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you...DO NOT BE AFRAID. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. GO OUT AND FACE THEM TOMORROW, AND THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU." 2 chronicles 20:15-17

would appreciate if you could pray to our big God about certain matters. :) thanks -
please keep certain people in prayer who may be down with any illnesses, quarantined because a family member has h1n1 (ahhh!) and whatnot., because He listens and answers according to His will. please keep Love MGS in prayer, that God will touch hearts, that many will attend the event and once again renew the Covenant with God, align their hearts with His once more, or for the first time. THAT IT WILL GO ON THIS FRIDAY BECAUSE WE BELIEVE GOD HAS SPOKEN, WILL SPEAK AND IS STILL MOVING. AND HE'S NOT DONE WITH US YET. HE'S NOT DONE WITH MG!

some of us may be burning out too early, we're tired and weary. stress is good, but too much stress isn't. gotta learn to take it easy. :) He'll make a way where there seems to be no way out at all. and even for me now...
it takes 10 times more to begin believing this, than to continue trusting in Him.


"submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you." job 22:21
all forms of prosperity.
we will dwell in the shelter of the Most High, and rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

apart from having Him, we have His love and everything else that comes from and with Him, with no strings attached. nothing can harm us, when we're dwelling in the shelter of the Most High. (psalm 91) amen :)

blessed week, guys. even if it didn't start off that well yesterday (yes, Sabbath is the first day of the week, not mondays like we're used to :)), get back in tune with Him. His grace is enough for you. more than enough.

prelims really soon! tests/exams for the other levels. time flies, honestly. but in every season, we bring Him praise because He carries us thru'. storms really reveal to us that we aren't in control at all. that's why we go thru' trials. yet we will praise Him even thru' those storms. He's here with you today, really really. and having Him is all you need...to fill that hole in your heart. maybe the hole has been there for very long. and nothing has satisfied or fully provided for you. not yet at least. open the eyes of your heart and be renewed with His spirit. life'll be different, if you trust me. :)
and if by any chance you need someone to talk to, care to share? (gillianpeckzn@gmail)

loneliness is a familiar feeling. an aching, crying, hurting soul needs Him. and perhaps, more. sometimes.

I'm over @ LJ now. be back once in awhile, when I feel like it.

our strength increases in Christ, we can do the 'biggest' (for lack of a better word) things. even when we think we aren't up to it... we are if we don't only rely on our own strength. You're all I need to trust in, the only One who can move and transform people inside and out.. the thoughts they think, the feelings they feel, the things they see, the words they speak..

I'd say being blinded by lies and refusing to see the truth (first by allowing others to preach the truth) are very selfish 'acts'...especially when there're people who really love and care and worry for them. when they say 'you don't have to be worried for me what', they're being selfish. because it's impossible to not worry, especially when they're 24/7 on the minds of the people who want to help them.. all a spiral down.. being helpless is a horrible feeling. I'll put it at the top of the ranks of the worst feeling to have. I really don't know what to do, Lord..but You do.

"And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD." (ezekiel 38:23)



remember I said I wasn't kan chiong about not finishing holiday work? well now I am!!! I'm spending time catching up on work when I could very well be practising more amath, phy, chem or studying history and geog (which are killers btw.. :P)! must regret and learn. must regret my decision to play and rest so much and learn to do my homework. must must must. I think I needa start being a mugger! no more MSN or FB. hahaha. tired...never knew doing work non-stop could be this tiring. (and the worst thing is...it's not even super tough time-consuming work. we're going far too much as perfectionists aren't we...) but God is strong on my behalf. I'm still hanging in there! and so must you :) He's your strength.

have learnt that there'll always be someone better than us, and we'll have to deal with it. why then wallow in self-pity due to our inadequacies, because we compare ourselves with others whom we think are better than us (at something important to us)?

submit yourselves, then, to God. resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (james 4:7)
let's admit it. most, if not all of us would like spiritual growth to be easy. I for one would appreciate it if my ability to withstand temptation required little effort. I hope the Holy Spirit will do The Work and I want God to protect me from stress - and thank God His Spirit empowers me.. but hey, gotta remind ourselves that we have to intentionally submit our wills to Him and resist the devil before His Spirit can work powerfully in our lives..(as in the above verse) keep fighting the devil..."fight it, fight it."

we deserve more than we think we do. He has given us more than we've ever asked for, and He wants to give us more. Jesus overcame death, there's nothing we cannot overcome. we're more than conquerors in Him. we're victorious, eternally.

"never give up. give in to God (have faith). and He'll surely open the door"

(I know sometimes my posts can get quite confusing...but there're just things that shouldn't be revealed, so sorry if you don't understand what I'm getting at. I've long forgotten the definition of a blog tho', guess am pretty thankful there's an avenue to 'pen' my thoughts. obviously too lazy to write; typing's faster. at times..doubt I'm even making any sense, like I'm not here. almost.) I'll be lying if I said I was okay. I know what bottling everything inside you can do to you...learn to share your burdens, learn to seek counsel, learn to seek help as you deem fit please. it hurts carrying everything alone. it'll hurt less when you feel you don't have to bear everything by yourself. we all know no one can be always strong and behind every tough front, every mask lies our weakness and vulnerabilities. there's always a part of us unwilling to give up something we saw benefit in, even tho' it's not right in reality. I'm not feeling okay, even when I'm led back to the Cross...and I won't deny it; we gotta learn to face up to our feelings and rationalise our thoughts. but sigh, I must keep my word; I've promised them and letting them down would be the last thing I'd like to do. whatever happened to not looking back.. one day I'm bonded by the past, another day I'm gonna be trapped in yesterday, today and tomorrow. the truth sets us free. gotta learn to accept the new truth as much as I hate it. shouldn't hate myself either, He loves me.

it's time for surrender again.

I'm just gonna make this quick because there's so much work to do! :) the hols weren't exactly...fruitful. in fact, NOT AT ALL. I didn't catch up on work like everyone else did. but thank God nonetheless because I don't think a break of fun and play (and little study) is a waste of time. it was a break yes! (agree with me yes yes)

"Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labour in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain."(psalm 127:1) very much like what proverbs 16:9 says: "in his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps". our efforts to build and be a part of something great are ultimately in vain if the Lord doesn't bless them. they may flourish for a time under our intense efforts, but if the plans and the construction of great things are not from the Lord, they will not stand the test of time...so Lord we pray you'll take the lead in every aspect of our lives. please defeat us in our efforts that aren't in harmony with your will, but empower us in our efforts that will bring you glory, and bring others closer to your love and grace. Amen.
