how amazing our God is!!!

How amazing our God is!!!=)
I promised i'll testify to His amazing grace upon my life!=) He is real! He really is!=) I've witnessed!!!=) He showed me!!!=)

I got 2 supplementary papers and when i first knew about those supp papers, i cried like a baby! really a baby!!! non-stop! i couldn't stop myself! i complaint! i blamed myself! i was devastated! should i use that word?! aiks! but yeah, my situation was terrible and it's the emotional part that i had to deal with. How could i study when i kept crying! that was one big question!!! well, guess who wiped away all my tears?!=) GOD lar!!!!!!!!!=) that sunday, He wiped away all my tears and reminded me that GOd is good! that He is and was and will always be GOOD! how could i forget for a split second that our God is good!!! how could i???!!! that few hours in church stopped me crying! Totally!!! my God is good!!! He is!!!=)

He sent me sooo many angels once again to bless me and care for me!=) i was loVED! He sent them to show me love!=) He taught me how to love, He taught me how to care for others. Those two weeks studying at home, God taught me soooo many things! Soooo many things that i've been neglecting in life, so many things that are more important than lazying at home during holidays doing nothing. He taught me to choose wisely and to place my priorities right!=)

My mum came to perth to visit me and that was one more thing i was worrying about. Who will bring my mum around? How is my mum going to have fun with me studying at home all the time? All those were my worries! so after WORRYING, i wrote to God a letter=) 5minutes after writing the letter, God answered my prayer! He sent people who are willing to bring my mum around. They just came up to me and offered to help!=) things all went well and they enjoyed their trip!=)

Also, there was one week, i had to choose between going for prayer meeting or cell group, coz my mum worries i go out tooo often. I was in a dilemma coz i wanted to go both! but i knew i had to choose one so i chose cell. And after cell, i knew why i chose cell!=) God placed me there for a reason. There was a friend who needed prayer badly and she needed to know that God is real and that she can put her past behind=)

The day before my final paper, God showed me two miracles in less than 5mins. I was sooo excited the whole time!!! i really jumped in my room! i mean jumped around in my room!!!=) i got tired and went to sleep not because of studying but because i jumped around too much. and He told me that day clearly: "Trecia, you'll pass!" i heard that! and i hung on to that promise the whole time. My results came out superrr late. So many people asked me: "so how trec?" my answered would be:"like snail lar, but i have FAITH!" i knew i would pass coz He said so. That was the FAITH i told God i wanted before all these happened! and He gave me this tru the whole experience!=) after getting the official results, i called my elephant straight away and when i told her i passed, she said:"i knew it a few weeks ago!=)" wow!!! when i heard that, i knew that was another level of faith i have to learn and i know God will teach me well=) He gave me those two supps for sooo many reasons and i thank Him for that! I didn't see the big picture at the beginning, but now i see why, i understand now...big smileee=) throughout those two weeks, i've written 5letters to Him and He answered all my prayers!=) all those letters now hang on my wall so i can remember how He brought me tru=)

After exams, i helped up in orientation and God showed me yet other stuff!!! He was right there when we were chit chatting, He was right there when we were in the rain, He was right there when we set up the tents, He was right there when we were putting up posters, He was right there when we were fellowshiping over lunch, He was right there when we went to clear up stuff soooo late at night, He was right there watching over our every step. He also showed me His burden for the people who don't know Him, His heart is heavy for them. aiks. That feeling wasn't good. It was a big stone on His chest that gives great pressure. Our God cares for every single one, He loves us all coz He made each and everyone of us! He don't want to see leftouts, those who don't know the truth! He hurts to see them not knowing Him and He hurts to see those people living lives without purpose.

This is my testimony! God is good and we cannot forget that for a split second=) He shows us things! He talks to us! We just need to open our tiny ears to listen and believe! When you hear voices prompting you, it maybe the holy spirit, do not doubt! for He is real!=) He speaks!=) He loves us! He cares for us! He is one big God who keeps every promises He makes!=)

A priceless lesson

I realised this:
The higher I climb, the more I give in to the world's definition of leadership...to be up there doing the things I'm supposed to the way I'm supposed to do.

This afternoon, I felt the pressure mounting on me; to lead, to do the right thing, to engage people, and to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels accepted. And when I reached home to study, I felt the pressure to perform, to do well in my supplementary paper, to study like how others study....making every second count.

Alas, it was when I sat in front of the laptop that the pressure got to me. I felt taken aback. Thing is, I don’t know what to do and how to do something at times. I can’t study continuously like how others do. The list goes on.

As always, God, being the ever loving Father He is, rebuked me gently just now.

He told me that I am not created that way. I can't and am not meant to be doing things other people can.
He told me that the thing I do best is to love, and to come sit at His feet.
He told me that the higher I climb, the lower I should be. My place is to be down there, not to be up there; to be doing the things He has placed in my heart the way He wills for me to do.

It means not getting caught up with leadership and the expectations that come with it and with circumstances in life. I am but a servant following the most remarkable leader there is, Christ.

And that is what I truly need to comprehend.

when everybody is doing something else

when everybody is out there doing Your works,
i can only stay home and stick to the chair and study...
when everybody is talking to new people out there,
i can only stay home and talk to my immune notes...
when everybody is eating kebab and talking and making new friends,
i can only go karawara and dapao bubbletea so that i wont fall asleep studying...

But i know You're preparing me for greater things ahead. I know everything is planned. I know everything is written down and will come to pass. I know i know because You said so. I shall retain my energy and health and get all charged up for next week! AHHHHHHHHH!!! forward we march with COURAGE AND BOLDNESS!!! =)

Boast of the LORD

"The LORD said to Gideon, "You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. In order that Israel may not boast against me that her own strength has saved her, ..."~Judges 7:2

When things are easy and we can do it by ourselves, can accomplished things by ourselves, we boast that we did it by ourselves. Because of our myopic sight, God comes in and leave us with little, puts us into situations where things seem impossible. Then He deliver us. So that we know that we did it not by our might but through God and by God!

So let us not boast of our abilities but let us boast of the LORD that He has given us strength and talents and gifts! Let us all give thanks to Him, the one and only true God! Let us praise God for He is the creator of ALL things! :)

Truly we cannot boast of our strength or our talents. For they are all God-given!~ Psalm 44:8

tough journey

If i give up now, God's investment in me for the past 21 years would be a waste!
If i stop believing, His faith seeds planted in me would be a waste!
If i say no i can't take it anymore, He will cry and shed tears for me!

I have been tru even tougher and deeper valleys, but my GOD, my BIG BIG GOD brought me through! He trained me up for sooo many years, like a father training a child. I shall not disappoint Him. He gave me sooo much, He prepared me for this. It's time for me to grow up. Growing up is indeed a hard journey, very pain, very very hard, it makes me cry many many times. But i have to grow up, He wants me to grow up. I must stand firm on the promises He's given! and Believe that He will bring me through ONE MORE TIME!

My ALMIGHTY God

My God has a plan for me.
A good plan.
A plan to prosper me.
To give me hope.
And a future.

My God's timing is the best.
There is a time and season for everything.

His ways are higher than my ways.
His thoughts are higher than my thoughts.

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty.
There's nothing my God cannot do.

The Story of God!

I watched this sermon by Louie Giglio, Welcome to the Story of GOD.

He spoke about how we always want to be in control, we want to be the star of our lives.

But our lives are just a small part in the Story of GOD.

The Story of God has no beginning and no "THE END". In Genesis 1:1, it says "In the beginning..." That was the beginning of creation, that was a part of the Story of God.
He is the creator, He created everything and He created all things for us. He also have an assignment for us, each and every single one of us.

Are we willing to give up the leading role that we want for ourselves in our story to be part of the Story of God?

Why not surrender to the story when you are already in His story anyway? Why not be part of the Story of God when God have already ask you to be part of His story (would you want to be in Steven Spielberg's movie when he comes and invite you to be in it)?

So many times, we forget who we are and we make ourselves in charge, thinking we know better. So many times, we are wrong....

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Jesus, humbled himself and was part of the Story of God, for our sake. This is not the end. Are you willing or have you already trade your story in for the Story of God?
It is about God, not about me (you). I don't want to be just in my own tiny story. I want to be in the Story of God! How about you?:)
