28 October, 2008

even of ranting, complaining and worrying, Renee. 
isn't it time to do something? more practical, isn't it? 

(: 

My First Love
Forever You will be
My First Breath
You're the life in me
My First Joy
The world can never take from me. 
indeed, O Lord. 
You're the one who filled up the emptiness in my heart.
You're the one that filled me with unspeakable joy and Your unfailing love.
what more can i ask for? (:
You're my air each day. 
You know how much i can't live without You. 
i love You, Jesus. 

*

YOU YOU YOU YOU! for YOU. 
it's really good to see you once smiling so happy, once with joy again. things hasn't been smooth or easy for you, but you pressed on. though at times you'll still be bothered by it, but it does really warm my heart to see your cheerful smile again, be it whatever reason. Joy is contagious, isn't it? (: dont lose that smile, don't lose the joy. i pray that God will preserve you, restore the joy in you and fill you with a lot a lot a lot of His unfailing love! i dunno why am i blogging this, very random i know. but just press on, no matter how hard things will be. you're dearly loved! (: shine His light in the darkness!

So be it
27 October, 2008

to say i'm totally not affected is a lie. everything that happened has happened. scold also scold alr. what else. apologise i alr did. jus because of this, thing's gonna turn sour? man, if this is worth it. which i don't think so.
you know, i've got so much comments about this, like really. 
whatever. 

i'm drained. mentally/physically. everything. perhaps not in a good mood now. 
so yeap. 
i need a listening ear. 
but i dunno what to say .. 

there's so many thoughts, issues.

Psalm 34:18
22 October, 2008

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love
Like You have loved me


*
Psalm 34:18
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
yes, Lord. on my knees, i'm seeking You. 


and i found so many links to that. from the nick, to the reactions, to the feelings. 
i just felt so dumb. 
i've got so much so much to say within. 

i'm stronger, i believe. (:

| till death do us apart<3 | 10:25 PM :)

please.

Daddy, i know i know i'm not perfect. i know there's a lot of things about me that i need to change. i know. i know in the past i made a lot of mistakes. i know in the past there's so much flaws about me. i know in the past there's so much imperfection in me. now stilll, i can never be perfect, cos each day i'm learning to be like You.

But God, You know what. i felt so bad. i felt so restricted. i felt so suffocated. there seemed to an image etched inside people's mind/heart that i'm that way. jugdement? assumption? no way can i change. people assumed. assumed how my reply gonna be. jus because of past situations/experiences, they assumed the reply gonna be this way. God, it just sucks lar. 

i wanna change, yes i wanna. but it just so ... i dunno. yes, i can just ignore wad other think of me. but, it's the replies that i got. Lord, i dunno. people change, isn't it? eveytime, everyday. people can change over a long span of time, or even jus a few days. yes i know, i changed. from time to time. i know, i feel it too. be it good or bad. 

i just find it so hard to try to change when a "fixed me" is fixed in other's mind, Lord. at times it just get so discouraging. it almost seemed like surrounding is not allowing me to change for the better.

my past sucks. i'm imperfect. but i'm trying. i'm trying to be a better person, a person more Christ-like. a person with more patience, love etc.. at times i might fail, but i do am trying ..

Lord, embrace me. 
when i lose myself, all i need is seek You. 
Daddy, thank You. 

| till death do us apart<3 | 3:20 AM :)

Yaxin, this is for you!

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY, YAXIN! (:

you may or may not see this, but still i'm gonna blog it down! (:

i miss you, yes i do. and i do miss the bbq night when we went cycling together a lot! it's so nice. hearing you talk about all about your work, your thoughts and feelings etc. and of cos not forgetting we talking about how we met and the stupid things that happened! think of it, it's really funny. 
ohya, also the day at singapore river with calista! :D

but wells, thanks for the last sentence before hanging up the phone call. (: if you still remember which one la! haha. 

you're so missed, girl! :D

| till death do us apart<3 | 12:46 AM :)

Beautiful Jesus

O Lord You searched me
You know my ways
Even when i fail You
i know You love me

how beautiful You are, Jesus
fill me with Your Holy Spirit.

i realised i hasn't been a "good christian". convicted. sorry, Daddy. forgive me. 

when i feel lonely, i know You're always always there. (:

Just a thought
21 October, 2008

i came to realise one thing when talking with Cal on the bus. 
As we move on in life, quality/quantity time spent with our very own group of friends actually decreased. Somemore it's poly (JC) life. everyone have got different schedules, different group of friends, different assignments etc. 
to really spend time with each other really need effort.

Unlike secondary sch, even if there's remedial, we can afford to wait for one another. recess time all same. almost everyday we're seeing, talking and hanging together. how nice. 
Or rather, the recent hols that just passed. fruitful times that we spent bonding a group. but school reopens jus for a week, felt so different. 

i was telling Cal. i felt like everyone's living their own lives. no more sharings, nothing. everyone's like walking their own life alone(?), or should i say, that's how i feel? not literally alone, cos God is there, of cos. 
but but, it's just so different as compared. 
hello R, things are changing everyday! yes, i know. hahahahah!

used to hang out so much with: evan & cal, the bear-gang, LLL. but now, it's just so different (in general) . haha.
i duno why m i blogging this also, but maybe just a thought.
((:

             **********

alright. basically, i've been mentally, physically. till the extent i totally forgot to send in svc feedback untill this morning when i received the email! so funny, i reminded them, yet i myself forgot. haha. oppps, sorry! 

anyway, i find myself rather contradicting recently. don't really feel like hanging out, yet wanna hang out. don't really feel like meeting people, but yet wanna meet people. and sometimes when situations dont allow me to be alone, i wanna be alone, but when the time comes for me to be alone, i dont wanna be alone. 
man, what's wrong with me! haha. someone slap me, please. lol.  

i think, this whole week is gonna be kinda ... (dunno what word to use) haha. i'll update it when i found the right word, or rather conclude it at the end of this week. (:

NRA needs a lot of commitment. and if i'm really going to perform for Danzation, i'm going to miss Christmas Bash, for sure. As for YI camp, i'm still praying i'll be able to go for night services. but yea, headache. no doubt, i'm worrying.
but God says: (Matt 6:33-34) (:
God, provide a way, Lord.

i dunno what am i exactly feeling right now. hmmm.
i think i need a jog or something. but at this hour.. 

i dunno why, but i feel so weird upon typing this post. 
does anyone feels weird reading this? tell me if you do!

when this world, everything is slowly fading away, 
only You, Your love stays strong. (: 

| till death do us apart<3 | 12:52 AM :)

20 October, 2008

currently in school, waiting for NRA to start. 

and yeaaa, 
i'm feeling so lousy. 
so many things i wanna say, i wanna blog about it, but i just cant seem to put them into words. 
i dunno what's wrong. 
hungry yet no appetite,
sad yet can't cry,
words yet can't be spoken. 
hahaha. so weird. 

Lord, take me to the secret place, 
where i can only see Your face.

| till death do us apart<3 | 5:41 PM :)

Patience, i need patience. 
yes, i need it.

i just hate being pissed over small lil things. i hate it. it's so not Christ-like. yes, ever since i fell away from God, i've kinda lost the fruits of the Spirit. can't blame anyone, but me myself. the patience, the love etc.. it's definitely hard to build all of them again. but yea, i'm still praying for it. the fruit of the Spirit is just so essential in my life. i need them, desperately.

God, fill me with the fruits of the Spirit 
i yearn to be more like You. 
all of You, none of me. 
You, Lord, You. 
God, i know You not gonna just throw me the fruits of the Spirit,
but gonna put me through situations and circumstances to build and mould me up.
Holy Spirit, i pray that even when the situation comes, remind me. be my dearest best Friend. i wanna possess the the fruits. i want. 
Jesus, i wanna shine Your light,
i wanna people to see You in me. 
not for me, but for Your glory. 
everything for You alone, Lord. (:

it's so nice when cell peeps come together, laugh and have fun! 
yes, like what cal said, it has been so long. 
but i enjoyed. (:

| till death do us apart<3 | 10:32 PM :)

Use me, O Lord

Dear Lord,
i've got nothing. Nothing that i can be proud of myself. not that i'm putting myself down, saying i'm useless or anything, but i clearly know without You i'm really nothing. just like one thing i saw in wanzi's blog.

Christian - Christ = ian ( i am nothing ).

Lord, i dunno what i can do to serve You, to glorify Your name. i dunno what i can do to bring a sweet wide smile upon Your face. that why, God, i need and want You to use me. Lord, i need You to tell me what to do, and i want to obey. i need Your directions so much each day, Lord. Show me. i wanna serve You, sincerely & wholeheartedly. 

Daddy, seriously, i dunno what talents do i have. like really. i really need You to show me so that i could use it to the fullest. dance? i dare not say it's my talent, perhaps it's just my passion. so ... i really dunno. but God, i know You placed something within me, to be my talent. (: just for You to show, for me to find out. (:

talking about what ministry i wanna serve in. yes, it would be kinda shocking if i tell others i wanna serve in Z3. yea, i'm not anything related to music/instruments etc, maybe except for dance? like who will ever link me to Z3. 
but again, Lord, there seemed to be nothing i can do extremely, really well. not studies, not dancing, not singing, i just can't think of anything! but God i know, i know i really love to sing about You. whenever i'm sad, stressed, bothered etc, whenever i started singing about You, i felt the peace, the love, the joy. i just love it. i may not have a beautiful voice to sing, but Jesus, i just simply love to sing about You. perhaps this is the reason why i wanna to serve You in this aspect - my passion to sing about You, for You. (: 
but again, i'll still go where You wanna me to serve You in. (: it's still about You.

Lord, i need You to show me. i need You to assure me. else, i dare not take a single step. God, i really desperately need You in this, here. 

How i love to
how i love to sing about You
Your love shines down
how i love to
how i love to sing about You
Your peace falls down

my whole life, it's Yours, Lord.
fully, wholly.(:

pretence?
16 October, 2008

what exactly did you said to her?
what's that for?
look through the corner of your eye?

why the pretence?

i dunno. it just gave me such negative feelings.
like hello, i saw it and i know it.

i didn't expect it to be like that. i thought ... ohwells, forget it. why am i so affected by this, by you? man, idk! perhaps, i'm still so concern about how people/others look/feel at/about me.
somehow i regret knowing you. perhaps, i never know you.

Lord,teach me how to take control of all this negative feelings. it isn't from You.

Dear Lord,
take away the pain in my heart. it came back like after so long. and i thought it's gone for good. first, it's during the lunch with Calista yesterday at JP. didn't wanna say, cos i thought it'll be ok after a while. but it lasted for quite a while. and today, it actually happen thrice. heal me, O Lord. i need You, God.


God, do You know how much i love to talk and sing about You? just like how much i would love to talk about my boyfriend (if i have one). but definitely, i would love to talk to others about You so much more. i remember the night when i'm down, but the moment i started telling a friend about You, how great You are how loving You are etc, i felt soooo good. God, You're good, Lord. (:

| till death do us apart<3 | 10:01 PM :)

come alive! :D
15 October, 2008

ohyea, ultimately i don't bear to just delete this blog. and since i'm planning to set up a private blog, why not just use back the same (since i like the blogskin too!), just a change of url. (:
been long since i last posted. feel really weird though. haha.

This very blog will be my spiritual journey. in the sense that, whatever i blogged here will be like me talking to God. (: 

yeaaa God, i do find relationships/ friendships whatever-ships tiring. i mean, many things had happened. and each time something happen, it actually bring down my confidence in establishing a (?)-ship. hrmm. i duno. but i know for sure, my love for my girls, my people never cease. Lord, i don't like it this way. i don't wanna me to stop being passionate about people. i don't wanna be tired of (?)-ships. cos they're just so important like You said so - relationships with people are vital. 

yea, important aspect - emotions. this is my weakness. i know that very well. God, teach me how to take control totally of my emotions. i've got enough, and frustrated each time i just simply let emotions rule over me. because of emotions, i actually hurt myself, and worse, i've hurt people around me, most prolly the closer ones. i'm sorry. Lord, i pray that even as You put me through trails to teach me, i pray that You'll be there with me. & i know You definitely will.

Daddy, even as i'm praying for Yiqi during PM last sat. i duno why, but tears just fell. i realized i miss her presence in church soooooo much. i just couldn't forget that faithful sat (24th'o5), if it wasn't You who drawn me, if it wasn't her who keep pulling me, i wont be where i'm today. prolly i would still be somewhere out there living a messed-up life. people around have seen, how much i've changed ever since i knew You. 
was i so crazy so high in the past, before i become a christine? NO. 
have i ever love my family and honor them, before i become a christine? NO.
have i ever know of hope and love in my life before i know Jesus? NO.
do i ever know how to love people genuinely before i know Jesus? NO.
have i ever learn to love myself before i know Him? NO.
do i ever know what's my purpose of life before i know Him? NO.
the list goes on ... 
too many differences ever since He came into my life. Praise Him. <3
and Lord, i pray for convictions of anything that's not right in her life, i really pray that You'll draw her close once again. i'm looking forward to the day where me and her can stand together to praise and worship You. (:

Daddy, You know what? i've just got tons of things to tell You. bear with me. hahahha! the next thing is regarding dance - NRA. yes Lord, You know i'm totally in love with dance. thanks for helping me get in! :D but God, i'm feeling stressed up because of dance too. yes, i wanna dance well, i really mean well. well to the extent i'm even fit enough to go out and teach others. i know i know, many are telling me too that i'm putting too high expectations on myself. i'm aware of it too. but it just come so naturally. whenever i didn't do a good job during practices, i'll be so upset with myself. awwww. 
But God, i realised i really need You during my practices. i need You. i can't dance just based on myself. i need You to move my limbs, body whatever, i need You like 100%. thanks for making me realise i need You even in my own passion, and it helps with what i'm struggling with - the above mentioned (expectations). not about me, but do it for You, with You. this way, i know it's to glorify You and there's nothing to be upset about even if i didn't do a good job. and now, it's getting better. not so much of my own expectations, but relying on You. (: before NRA, i'll just pray and leave it in Your hand. and God, You're faithful, because You're always there with me. i know it, i feel it. (: thank You, Lord.  
& God, i'm praying for You to provide a way regarding church camp, danzation and christmas bash. (:

another thing is small group. yea, before i backslide, i'm in charge of a small group, but i failed. and now, i'm in charge of another one. God, i wanna serve, yes i want. but somehow i just feel i dunno, i can't lead a small group. i just feel i'm not good enough. 
*rebuke this thinking!*  (:
 God, i remember You saying, be faithful in little things and more things will be added. there's no such thing as good or not good enough. Lord, i've decided to press on. like what cal shared and reminded me of the verse : i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (: right now, i need to be faithful in prayer, QT, and continuously seeking Your directions and wisdom. (: direct me, Jesus. it's all for You, my First Love.

Lord, i'm still praying for You to show me where You want me to go. (: 

ohya Daddy, i dunno why. but upon hearing about Jag (sis weiwei's cell member), it kinda become a burden in my heart. to be frank, it's the first time i'm so concern about someone i dont really know, or rather, i didnt see before. i would go to sis ww's blog to find out about him. & i never been to sis ww's blog, unless people show me. but seriously, Jag encouraged me. (:
Lord, i pray that You'll be with him through all this. 
Preserve him, give him strength. 
Lord, you see this faith of his, this love of his for You,
that no matter how hard it is, he wants You. 
O Lord, help him. Cover him with Your unfailing love each time he needs it. 
God i pray that he'll hold on tightly to You, & extra tightly when things become tougher. 
O Lord, i know he's under Your wings. (:
In Jesus' name, AMEN.

God, You see my heart desire. i really want You. i want a super duper extraordinary marvelous awesome loving relationship with You. i yearn for that, Lord. i'm serious about this walk with You, Jesus.
