lil mushroom

=) a big smile first!=) holidays is here!!! ahhh!!!=) it has been sooo relaxing for me for the past few days...i just step back from the hectic world (ok, i know many will say student where got hectic lives, but yeah, believe me, exams are really stressful^^), and enjoyed the simple things in life that i didn't really stopped and take a look during my study time!!! ahh!!!=) it has been awesome!!!=)

just today i went to ken hall and played the piano alone, i couldn't have found time for that for the past few weeks ya! but yeah, i guess my heart wasn't at playing the piano coz i found myself getting bored of that after a few minutes...hehe=) and yeah, i realised this semester becoz God was teaching me FAITH and GIVING, i put aside something i learned last semester which was the HEART!=) our hearts are actually the most important part of life! it all boils down to our hearts isn't it?!!! are our hearts beating the same rhythm with God's heart?!!! a question that we must must ask ourselves all the time!=)

then i walked back home singing worship songs and just enjoying the details of life! i just realised that beside my house there are two little red mushrooms growing...i wouldn't have stopped and take a look at those two little mushrooms last time! but i believe God is trying to teach me to STOP and look at the details in life! He wants us to enjoy our life on earth, not just the big things in life, but also the tiny details in life! wow...=) i'm learning...=)

also God really place us in any particular place for a very specific reason! we cannot overlook that!!! everyONE around us must somehow TURN and look at the light! we are placed here to be the light, therefore God will shine in us so that somehow people will TURN AND LOOK! get what i mean? i know it's a bit weird haha...how i explain it out but yeah, i read that somewhere in a book.

okok, another thing was i forgot to fast yesterday! hehe=) paiseh...it was my turn to fast mar yesterday and i forgot, so i'm fasting today! and and and...my devotion today was about fasting!!! soooo chun!!!=) 'Fasting also reminds us that it is God who sustains us. Food may keep us going physically, but God’s Word sustains us spiritually (Matthew 4:4).' i admit i kept thinking about the ikea meatballs i ate yesterday! it was really good man!!!=) but yeah, i trully believe God has better meatballs for us! and He honours those who honours Him. I really encourage those who are fasting or are going to fast to jiayou and not give up! God sees our heart and He loves us sooo much sooo much!!! He will not let us go hungry!!! really!!!=) hehe=)

~i love you all jesus loves you all!!!~

People need the LORD!!!

This is a song a friend shared with us during a meeting...
A great song and really sings out the needs of this world...
This why we do what we do.. This is why we have this blog..
This is why Jesus died for us!
Listen to this song and pray and read the words.
Let it minister to you.

Let us be the salt and light for God together today!

People need the LORD.

Everyday they pass me by,
I can see it in their eyes.
Empty people filled with care,
Headed who knows where?

On they go through private pain,
Living fear to fear.
Laughter hides their silent cries,
Only Jesus hears.

People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
At the end of broken dreams, He's the (only) open door.
People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
When will we realize, people need the Lord?
We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong seems right.
What could be too great a cost
For sharing Life with one who's lost?

Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear.
They must hear the Words of Life
Only we can share.

People need the Lord, people need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door.
People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
When will we realize that we must give our lives,
For peo-ple need the Lord.

People need the Lord.

God's Chisel

Watch this:

God's Chisel

Reminding us all that God is able to make us His masterpiece when we let Him, that we should not compare ourselves with someone else, and that we are God's original masterpiece in whom He finds favour. =)

A quote I like:

"You've listened to so many voices for far too long that aren't of me. You think you're junk, don't you? You really, really think you're junk. Listen to me, I don't make junk. What does that say about Me? How can I show you that My love for you has no boundaries?"

An eye-opening book

A few days ago, I received this free book I ordered online. I opened it, and started reading it. Even only at the beginning of the book, I started crying. This is the first time I've experienced something like this. I had no reason to cry; it was the Holy Spirit convicting me. I knew right away that this book has been prayed over by many saints, and is sanctified by God. The author, K. P. Yohannan, is a man anointed to speak truth into the hearts of many.

Through this book, my eyes have been opened. I have started thinking about things in life that I've overlooked before. God has been showing me messages, facts and truths through this book.

And so, I pray that this book is for you. For you who have realised that life is more than this, for you who desire to make a change in the lost world, for you who want to be more eternally minded. This is an honest message that can change your life.

This page is where you sign up for the free book. What are you waiting for? You have nothing to lose.

And if you are curious and want to know more, this is the official website. http://www.gfa.org/

I hope that through this book, Revolution in World Missions, God will speak to you in measures beyond what He has shown me.

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE MORE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my goodnessss!!! jesus loves me sooo very very much!!!! i love HIM TOOOOO!!! ahhhh!!!! yesterday yesterday as usual everything was fine and there was no stress at all at all...then then then...atnight when i reached the last three topics to study, i had NO idea what i was reading at all at all...was sooo scared and worried coz exam this morning 830am lerrrrrrr...Somemore i locked myself out of my room!!! i was sooo panicked and my heart nearly jump out!!! really really jump out!!! i called security and ask them come fast fast. I was near to tears already...Then i remembered what pastor said during church service which was DON'T QUIT!!! we are THAT CLOSE THAT CLOSE!!! sooo...i bite my teeth and continue on studying, ofcoz praying before everything else. I asked God for understanding yesterday coz my brain really not very geng lar...i very slow one...understand things superrr slow and take superrr long time. I was at the edge edi!!! coz my time was limited and i had to understand!!! ahhhh!!! but but but God delivered meeee!!! He brought me through!!! i didn't sleep at all last night and was sooo awake and alert all the time till this morning, i revised every single lecture notes from 1am till 740am in the morning...wahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and and i understood the last two calculation topics!!! ahhh!!! then i read my bible...and the verse today was geng!!!

Colossians 3: 14-17; 23-24
14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns an spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

~G2~

will you say I LOVE YOU???=)

oh yeah...also wanted to share something else...=) this question pop up in my mind when i was studying the very hard lecture notes=) hehe=)

WILL YOU SAY I LOVE YOU TO SOMEONE CLOSE---your family members???

I realised many of us find it really easy to write I LOVE YOU in sms, mms, emails, facebook messages, loveletters, etc. It's just sooo easy to say I LOVE YOU to our friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, cell members, church members, puppies, kittens, elephants, polar bears, tigers, hamsters, rabbits, etc...It's just sooo easy to say those three words to these people, i mean for many of us lar=)

Every night i will msn with my mummy in Malaysia, and the last few words would be "Goodnight mummy I LOVE YOU!!!" It has been something i have done almost all the days of my life and i realised i MUST do it before i sleep or just before i finish my day. Even if we don't get to msn, i will want to send my mummy an sms saying Goodnight mummy I LOVE YOU...i just realised i couldn't go on without saying those few words...coz there was one day i forgot to say and i felt like there's something missing, and then i realised, it was those last few words that i forgot to say=)

I don't know about you guys=) i know some people who i know have told me they just couldn't say out those three words to their parents or brothers or sisters. They say that they show love in a different way and deep in their hearts they know they love each other. I totally understand this statement. But one thing i do know from living 20+ years of my life...is that saying I LOVE YOU out loud to someone is just DIFFERENT=) especially our family!!! those three words are like magic words!!! every time i say those three words to my mummy, she'll say back those same three words and it just melts my heart everytime and i just know SHE REALLY LOVES ME and i have her full support all the way!!!=)

I believe God created those three magic words and He wants us to love everybody around us with those three words. Let's all learn to say I LOVE YOU out loud to our close ones...=) start one day and see the difference it makes in one's life. Trust me!!! don't need to care if people will think you are crazy...maybe your mum or dad when they hear you say those three words will say: "kid, are you ok? did something go wrong? or do you need something from us? do you need more money?" they may doubt you or you think they think you are crazy. But i tell you with great confidence, that THEY will smile in their hearts when they hear you say that!!! and their hearts will melt!!!=) let's not just make difference in friend's life, let's make difference also in the lives of our close ones, our family=)

task aka homework today: say I LOVE YOU out loud to your mummy or daddy or brother or sister...=)

Cultivating a God-like mindset in exams

I received this email today from a friend of a friend. After reading it, I was amazed at how great our God is. We may be different people and miles apart, but we are all still one in Christ. We have the same Holy Spirit living in us and teaching us.
I couldn't have written it better myself and I'm sharing this email as an encouragement to us Christians that we are all going through this together; we are not alone. =)
_______________________________________________________

Hey guys!

C here btw. =) To those who don’t really get like, emails from me often. Hi!!!! Lol.

Anyway. It’s about twenty minutes until midnight on the eve of my first paper, and some of you may have went for your first papers already but I got reminded on a little word I received once as I was in a conversation earlier and I felt like this needs to be heard!

The conversation was about a portfolio, where creative students showcase their material, their life’s work in order to impress their prospective Unis and employees so that they get jobs in the future, and how stressful it may be as one may feel like their material is inadequate, their arrangement messy, or their work last minute.

Everyone of us gets those in pre-exam jitters too! You feel inadequate, you feel like you’re ill prepared and you rather trudge into the exam hall rather than walk into it.

But let’s put this into God’s perspective.

Gifts, talents are all God given. He’s placed them into us before we were even born, and He’s weaved intricate manners and ways we are to refine these talents into skills we apply in life. Skilled hands (for you doctors/dentists), creative minds (for you artists), math heads (you nerds who do engineering. Lol) practical problem-solvers (COME ON COMMERCE STUDENTS GIVE ME A HIGH FIVE), writers and presenters (law students woot!), wisdom, memory power and will power, let me go on naming we can go all night.

Think the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30).

And in Biblical perspective we are given these gifts for God’s glory. Not our own. Not to get us a job. Not to get us a grade. Forget that. Committing your God given talents to diligent, good and practical use will not only get us the jobs, not just the grades but the ability to excel in them, to rack up testimony after testimony about how God’s worked miracles in your education and future career. It’s our outlet to shine!

And back to the portfolio, it’s a compilation of works, applications of our God-given talents which have been refined for so many years on end, through the teachers who’ve taught us, the leaders who led us and the family and friends who’ve guided us. I said that this portfolio shouldn’t be seen from OUR perspective, an opportunity to impress someone with OUR work...

But rather it’s an opportunity to impress someone with GOD’S WORK IN US, a chance to show the world that I am a testimony in the making, see my works, see what He has abundantly blessed me with, and we are NOT going to be shy about them. Not for pride’s sake, but because it gives HIM glory.

Same like our exams. We, through these end-of-semester days should not see these as an opportunity to get grades, HDs, but as ANOTHER chance for us to give our God-given wisdom and knowledge our BEST shot, THE VERY BEST that He deserves, the VERY BEST that He will acknowledge and reward!

And it’s this effort which God sees, not the preparedness. Not the neatness of your notes. Not the books you read. But it’s the belief that whatever I have, I will sow, whatever God’s placed in me, I will apply. Whatever those God-positioned lecturers told me which I remember, I will write, and whatever I may forget, wherever I may feel inadequate, wherever I feel week, HIS STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT in me.

And it’s this belief where we can truly excel. It’s this belief which makes us not trudge the winter-y cold, but rather stand tall and shout out that I am here, another opportunity to shine for God. Another testimony is on the way. No wasted effort. Nothing’s forgotten, its mere human perspective. God is mighty. God is able to guide me to and through this paper and the next, and the next, and the next. Although you may humanly feel tired, humanly inadequate.

If you feel tired, if you feel human, remember these verses:

In His kindness God called you to share in His eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, He will restore, support and strengthen you, and He will place you on a firm foundation.
(1 Peter 5:10)

He gives power to the weak, and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find NEW strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
(Isaiah 40:29-31)

Guys. Our exams are NOT just for grades. We’re placed where we are to shine for His glory. We are walking testimonies. We stand out from the crowd because we have an awesome God on our backs. We’re the salt and the light. Let’s be influential. Let’s be confident that He will pull us through.

Let’s also commit our exams to prayer. Let’s remember to pray for one another and be open even to pray for our friends who may not have share the same faith. Who knows, we may be able to share so much more and bring them to know this awesome God we know.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He’s done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:6-8)

Amen?

I hope this encouraged. Happy exam-ing. Happy shining for God this season!

Thanking Him for the testimonies to come.

SURELY

Psalm 23

"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

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

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever. "


This is one of the many promises that God has given to us!
In the midst of exams, study, study and more study. Many of us are stress, BUT...
Let us have FAITH in GOD.

GOD IS ABLE!!!

He is our shepherd. Who better than our Father in Heaven to guide us and lead us?
SuReLy! Goodness and Love WILL follow us ALL the days of our life! and we WILL dwell in the HOUSE of the LORD FOREVER!!!
So don't stress, don't worry:) Have Faith in GOD!

our HOPE in Him

WOW wow wow. I am so blessed by my fellow goDssipers =D Keep it up girls!

Here's a verse for encouragement in this exam period:

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 43:5

Our God is our HOPE!

Will you take the stand?

I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do.
I just wanna offer my heart completely to you.
There are times I climb, times I stumble.
But no matter what happens, I believe this: That even if my world falls apart, You will remain. I know it's true.
Even if I lose everything and everyone I have, as long as I have you, it will be okay.
I surrender, God. All I am is Yours.
You have stood by me for eternity.
It's now turn not only for my spirit, but for my soul and flesh to take the stand for You.

Completely to You .....

a prayer of moses the man of God

Psalm 90
A prayer of Moses the man of God.

1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men."
4 For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning-
6 though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered.
7 We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
10 The length of our days is seventy years or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of your anger? For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.
12 Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Relent, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.

The Lord Of Our Years

When the Concise Oxford English Dictionary announced in 2006 that the word time was the most-often used noun in the English language, it didn’t seem surprising. We live in a world where people are obsessed with using days, saving minutes, and trying to find more hours in the day. Although each of us has all the time that there is, few of us think we have enough.

Perhaps that’s why Psalm 90 is such a treasured passage. It shifts the focus from our time-bound lives to our eternal God. “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God” (v.2).

A stanza in Matthew Bridges’ well-known hymn “Crown Him With Many Crowns” begins: “Crown Him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time.” A potentate is a sovereign, a monarch, an anointed majesty—one who does not seek appointment or run for election.

God created time. He rules and transcends it. When we feel frustrated by the calendar or captured by the clock, a quiet reading of Psalm 90 reminds us that our days and years are in the hands of our eternal God.

As we humbly bow before Him, we see time from a new perspective. — David C. McCasland

Crown Him the Lord of years,The Potentate of time,Creator of the rolling spheres,Ineffably sublime. —Bridges

We must have a right view of eternity to know the real value of time.

"Rejoice always, pray continually, GIVE THANKS in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." -1Thessalonians 1:4



Give thanks to our Father in heaven,
In good times,
In hard times,
In trying times.

Give thanks to our Father in heaven,
For the sky,
For the sun, moon and stars,
For the trees and plants.

Give thanks to our Father in heaven,

Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

1 Peter 5:8
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

We have an enemy, WOOOAHHH!!! >.<

Every area of our life is subject to enemy attack, how can we fight them..???

Daniel 10:12
Then he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.

Daniel's spiritual battle clearly illustrates the war that occurs in the heavenlies!!!

therefore we need to fight on our knees before we can stand on our mission field....!!!!

We are called to do spiritual warfare through prayer over satan's strongholds until we win!
Jesus experienced spiritual battle in the wilderness, but he won and that happened before Jesus went out into public ministry. We too, must win before we can fully function in what God has called us to do....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But dont worry, because we are already in win-win situation. God is for us, and the battle is His. PRAISE GOD...!!!! ^^

Nevertheless, we need to pray in order to take ownership of the battle that has been won!

Matthew 18:18
I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

....
.....
........
How can we bind unseen forces on earth unless we open our mouth to pray, unless we also mobilize people in our cellgroup to pray..??????????

therefore, lets start praying for Orientation 2nd Sem 2009!

we need to fight on our knees before we can stand on our mission field!!!

pray pray pray, start now, YESHHHH!!!!

AND WE'RE WINNING...!!!! YESHHHH X 3....!!!
