Awesome sunday! :)

I had an awesome sunday! 🙂 At 2.23am in the morning, still wide awake! Thank God for the long break. I so need this! Will sum up my day with words that shimmer.

Church. Awesome. Modern temples. Foundation. Strong Spiritual life. Giving. Lunch. Wan Tan Mee. Raining. Massage. Conversation with Ita about Islam and Christianity. Happy. Nap. Time for dinner. Hazel is back. Met bf Jonathan. Awesome conversation. Christian culture. God’s love. Grasping the truth about God’s love.

I am happy that in the middle of everything, God keeps sending love messages to my heart. I could sense His effort 🙂 And I really feel very very much pampered by Him. Heartstrings with God keeps me smiling. The hope in my heart is rising. I learn how to let go and let God take charge…I learn how to stop harderning my heart, I learn how to trust My Abba Father.

God, such lovely expression from you, makes me feel totally swept away again by your gentleness. Show me your awesomeness!

Beautifully written by Eeling Mei Mei :) Safe Haven

At times when words they pierce like swords,

You bring a comfort, healing restored.

At times when too weary to explain in words,

You understand the unspoken, my heart’s assured.

At times when vulnerable to life’s storms,

You are a shelter, an alcove of calm.

At times when silence is my heart’s plea,

You sit beside me, and just let me be.

I have no need to pretend

Nor waste energy to impress

For you, my safe haven, love me as I am.

*Written in the light of fear of needed preparation for endless explanations, and also a realisation that so many people need safe havens to dock in in a world where careless words pierce like swords and kind words are scarce. ‘The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.’ Proverbs18:21

 I thank God for giving me safe havens, even as Jesus Himself is my Safe Haven. 🙂

 *Dedicated to the safe havens in my life, past and present.. 🙂

Lydia’s Note : At this juncture, I could relate to the writer’s message. It’s been a tough period for me, battling against the forces be it work or internal struggles. Sometimes I cry to myself but somehow God has His own redemptive way to capture my heart once again. Taking the next 10 days of rest to find that unforced joy + eternal peace that will guard my heart, soul and mind once again. To grow into a godly woman requires wise choices and a discerning heart. With ringing noises, it’s time for me to walk away and find that secret place once again. Lord, save me O Lord…

I finally found someone…

I finally found someone….

Yeah baby, I finally found a guy whom I like his overall package of talent when it comes to MUSIC!! 🙂

He basically sang all my favourite songs lah from leehom’s “ni bu zhi dao de shi” to david tao’s “tian tian” to bruno mars’ “grenade” and also neyo’s “one in a million“…

Let me present you none other than Mr.Jason Chen, an American born Chinese from USA.

He’s really good at covers! 🙂

Check him out in youtube kayz? To me, he is awesome lah…

Thank God is Thursday! :)

In everything, I stand in awe of God’s goodness.

I have been so tired, weary and troubled for the longest time. I mean on the surface, everything looks fine. Burried myself with work and activities… It’s not really hard to occupy myself you know, coz it’s just natural to have plans/activities to do.

But i know deep down inside me, I haven’t got it right. I tried to fix “it”. Tried reading books. Tried doing meaningful stuffs. Tried very best to do my devotion. Tried very hard to hang out with friends. Even tried going for fasting and prayer services. Of course it helped, temporarily…

Today, to my suprise, Ed called from Ireland. I had a long chat with him, and I broke into tears  in the middle of our conversation. I think I needed to cry so badly…so much so that I couldn’t hide it anymore.  It’s so hard to find someone whom you can share your hearts of hearts. I sat there on my bed, cried for quite sometime and told him how tired I was/am.

Then through him, God told me to stop whatever I am doing and to do absolutely nothing for the next 10 days. To surrender the next 10 days to find that refreshing faith in Him. To gain that freedom and joy once again.

And I want that deep contenment of living life the fullest in Christ. That, I hunger.

Truly appreciate our fellowship together. Edmond, Eeling and I ended up praying together on skype. Lord, thank you for such unwavering godly friendship. I know you love me through them 🙂 No doubt! 🙂

Soon after, saw alex online. It was his birthday today 🙂 Wished him and he said something which made me realize. Exercising is like doing devotion. You need to do it in order to grow. You need to do devotion everyday regardless of whether you “feel like it” because it is good. It kinda hit and convicted me. He further said that I should find the motivation in me and not in others. I am truly encouraged 🙂 Such timely manner 🙂 Thanks alex! U r such an inspiration! 🙂 hugs!

Now, I am relying on God to help me to pick myself up once again.

Slowly standing up and holding His hand  🙂

Good sleep…

Fuyoh….9 hours of sleep! Now battery bar quite fulll 🙂 Listening to Olivia Ong’s Fly me to the moon. Nice!!!!! 🙂

The sky is looking a little bit gloomy. It’s gonna be a power pack day for me. Need to send oranges/hampers over to my customers!

I can’t wait for my longggggggggggggggggggg chinese new yeaar holiday. Next year, I will be planning an overseas holiday! *fingers crossed*. Maybe over to melbourne or perth! 😛

Think, detox and reflect.

I really need to take sometime to think about what a good God God is.

Need to take some time to detox my mind and heart.

Most importantly, I need to take some time to reflect about my life.

Praying as a family..

I ponteng church today, decided to spend sometime with my family. I got to say by far the best weekend in year 2011 with them. Had breakfast, lunch and dinner was accompanied with good fellowship and conversation. We just ended our family time together. I always enjoy our sunday night prayer as a family, it’s good to update, edify and encourage one another.

Am certainly glad to see the vast improvement in mommy’s and baby’s prayer. Could sense such unity in spirit. Talking to God directly about each other has made our prayer become much lively experience. I personally feel closer as we pray for each other. The after effect of prayer is amazing. It feels as though all of us nestled against God’s big chest as He hears us delightfully 🙂 When we pray, I believe we will grow closer as a family. As we continue to uphold daddy in our prayers, we are certain God maketh all things beautiful in His time 🙂

In all, i am grateful 🙂 Thank you, Jesus! 🙂

Perspective

The next time you find yourself too quick to judge, think before you speak? Why?

Okay let me illustrate this to you…

If we see a mad man on the street, we call him a mad man, but to the mad man, everyone else is mad..

See, life is always about perspective. And if you’re judging someone coz they aint’ like you, probably they think why you’re aint like them.

So moral of the story, everyone should invest some mints sometime, especially when you tend to talk too much and think too highly of yourself 🙂

Reading

It’s good to be sick coz I can catch up on my reading. Spent most of my time reading today. One book down, one more to go.

Who inspired me?

Mrs. Lee Kuan Yew was the one who inspired me to read, her enormous appetite for books taught me the power of knowledge. To have knowledge enables one to have substance and power. How did she inspired me? From her husband’s, son’s and gradson’s eulogy! They have one thing in common, they spoke of her love for reading and how reading actually brought them so far in life…

Ever since then, my interest for reading grew exponentially…Ok gtg now, time to read 🙂

With Jesus

If only Lydia can see How Unfailing His Love is when she thinks God is shortchanging her.

If ony Lydia can scream How Great is Her God when her prayers go unanswered..

If only Lydia can scream “Great Thy Faithfulness” when she walks through the valley of darkness.

If only Lydia can sing “Hossana is the highest” when she’s at the peak of tension and disappointment.

If only Lydia can sing “Amazing Grace” when she judges someone.

Lord, take away the “if” and replace it “With Jesus”, see how powerful the sentence becomes? Lord, make this real…
