Hopes and ambition

With the recent passing of veteran "ah ge" Huang Wen Yong, it really made me wonder how can someone be so passionate, hardworking, serious and in love with his job for over 30 years?

The love he had for his job is something I really admire and I wanna be just like him. To do something I'm really passionate about, giving it my all. sure there'll be tough times but ill always be wearing a smile on my face. Will I ever come to that?

There are two dreams that I hold now:
1) to work with children (children missionary)
2) to someday own a little cosy cafe

My dad said that humans must have dreams and only with dreams will they work towards that goal and then succeed in life. My stand? Humans who achieve their goals without God will not succeed for long.

#12 Thank you Lord for hopes, dreams and ambitions. Help me to be part of your plan and not yours in mine

Just one of those days....

There always comes a point in life where I really do not know what I'm doing with my life...

Getting tired of living by the rules and just wanting to live the day by itself and waste my day away doing nothing. Procrastination never fails to triumph over deadlines and submissions. I really need to get a hold of myself, soon.

It feels like things will start to crumble. Is this what it means to live on the edge. I need to snap out of it before it gets too out of control.

Need to find myself back to the time of spiritual discipline and thirst.

Pain in my lower jaw is not helping me to sleep so I guess I'll just keep thinking till I tire myself to sleep..

The Nature of God's Love

Sometimes when life gets discouraging, the best thing we can do is remind ourselves of the nature of God's love.

One of the most beautiful things the Bible says is that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (see Romans 5:8). He did not wait for us to deserve His love. He loves us unconditionally. To be honest, that's hard for many of us to comprehend because we are so accustomed to having to earn everything in life.

Because of His great, wonderful and intense love for us, God poured His life out for us freely. That is revolutionary love, real, revolutionary love that gives itself away because it can never be satisfied doing anything less.

It is God's unconditional love that draws us to Him, His amazing grace that erases our sin, and His powerful sacrifice that makes a way for us to enter His presence. His love will never quit, never give up, and never leave you. Whenever you feel down or depressed, remember the great love that God has for you

Prayer Starter: God, Your love overwhelms me. Even when I don't feel like it, I know that Your love never quits. You gave Your all for me, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that You love me.

- Joyce Meyer daily devotional

Never too late

#7 Thank you God for that apology I've waited to hear for almost 8 years.

That one apology could really lift all the past hurts away.

#8 Thank you God for turning something I dreaded into one with a surprising ending.

Ah ma's been diagnosed with last stage of dementia. I can't help but to feel a sense of guilt, like I had a part to her state of initial dementia. A series of what-if's keep flashing in my head: "What if I had spoken to her more when she was still in a clear state of mind? What if I had spend more time with her in her room?" What if, what if, a lot of what ifs... 

But I remember, the what if's are not thoughts from God, and that they are from the devil. Sure, I hadn't done those things, but Ah ma's not mine. She's God's and I just pray that even in her senile state she'll remember that there's this BIG God that loves her. I can only pray...

The other day it crossed my mind that I had always complained bout her, and seldom praises for her comes out. Well, Ah ma may be the empress dowager at home, but she ultimately has a kind heart and her curry's the best ever. I kinda missed her teasing me, asking me when I was going to get married, and her laugh and her smile. 

God, do with her whatever you want 'cos I know she's in great hands. Till the day she returns home with you, help me to be a better grand daughter. 

Not the best photo, but nevertheless :')

#4 Thank God for the people who bother.

Lord, I'm amazed by you. How you love me~

Father, please watch over my grandma and set your healing hands upon her. In Jesus' name, amen

A string of thanksgivings

We can go only so far in any human relationship. If we go beyond godly wisdom, we will likely be hurt. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that some people will never hurt us, only to be disappointed when they don't live up to those standards. No one's perfect.

The good news is that God is perfect and will not disappoint. He is always loving and good. Don't give trust to people that belongs to God, but rather, give yourself completely to Him. He alone is trustworthy.

Prayer: God, no human is perfect, but You are. I won't give the kind of trust to people that only belongs to You. You will not disappoint. I find comfort today in Your perfection.
