It Still Amazes ME

2 Sep

God is just so amazing.  He never fail to amaze me.  It’s wonderful to see God moving.. and the below clip amazes me because God is moving celebrities, stirring them and in turn, they are impacting the young ones to look towards God

Lord, all glory be to your name!

Why Women Cry

1 Sep

A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?” “Because I’m a woman,” she told him.
“I don’t understand,” he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, “And you never will.”
Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”
“All women cry for no reason,” was his entire dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry…
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, “God, why do women cry so easily?”
God said, “When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.”
“You see my son,” said God, “the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart – the place where love resides.”

Things are Piling Up

9 Jul

Been a while since I write here.  Things have been pretty much the same at the moment, with work life being stagnant and all.  I guess what’s picking up in my life is actually my church involvement.

75th Anniversary is just around the corner and seriously, planning for it can be quite crazy.  But I do thank God for this opportunity and for the wonderful team that I have right now.  Things may be different from the many events I’ve organised, and this, being the largest scale ever for me, is truly a challenge that I look for in my, quite mundane life right now.

Spiritually, I think I still need to push myself a lot more.  I’m being lazy, and many times I feel like not wanting to read my bible, do my devotion or even to pray.  But God is great!  Many a times, I am reminded the need to do so, and it’s a blessing everytime I pick myself up for it.

0633_simplicityPeace of God is what I need right now.  And in some ways, I am seeking for God’s direction in my life ever more.  I wonder, am I to be here for a long long time?  What is in store for me oh God?  Which direction should I take?  I would love for new challenges in my life, and with that in mind, I came to this company, but at the moment, nothing is happening.  I do wonder if I have made the wrong choice.  I am at lost over what I need and ought to do at the moment.  In many ways, I do seek God’s peace, of course, I do hope for an answer, but if it doesn’t come, or maybe the timing is yet to come, then God’s peace is what I yearn for.  Like the peace that could be sensed in that picture, the ability to be still and be at peace with God is something that I hope for….

Was reading Abby’s blog and heard the song.  It really does make me think of the need of us Christians to really turn our eyes away from our worries and focus on Jesus himself.  As you look at Him, remembering all the blood and pain he went through for us, and yet, in His glorious compassion, His face is filled with us, inviting us to draw closer to Him… oh, what else could You wish for but Him…  Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus and Look Full in His Wonderful Face…  everything does fade away as you look full in His face… focusing only on Him…

It’s so HOT!

23 May

My gosh, it’s superbly hot right now at home!  I’m sweating like mad.

For lunch, I had porridge again!!! hahaha… siao liao… I think I am having this porridge craze recently.  A little nuts!

Tonight is Nuwav’s 5th Anniversary celebration!  It’s gonna be soo cool I tell you.  Okay, I was asked to participate in the Nuwav’s MV.  Honestly, I tell you, I cannot act.. and seriously, I was put into a very funny action mode!  My gosh, I cannot believe how things will turn out to be!  Sigh.. but what can I say!  I guess youth is not such a word to describe me already.. feeling olD! hahaha

Twitter

9 Apr

I found this amazing thing to play with!!! Twitter is sooo fun! It’s like, it allows me to blog in sentences at that point in time rather than needing to write a long passage.

Well now, it’s not that I dislike blogging, but there are times when things feel so hectic and it feels tiring to actually really sit down and write! Instead, with Twitter, I can just put a one-liner at any time and anywhere that I want… since I can use fring to blog! FUN FUN FUN

BBQ

29 Mar

I had BBQ just now! Dead tired! But more to blog about it… maybe later ler…

Time to sleep.. got church tmw!

Amazing God

19 Feb

Don’t feel like doing work, so I’m blogging. I think that is why I’ve been blogging for the past few times, coz I’m bored. What a reason huh?

You know, God is truly amazing. I never realised it until a friend shared with me about Laminin. It is a GLUE that holds all of us together. Below is from an email from a friend:

The Glue That Holds Us Together
This is a pretty neat story and an interesting thing that few of us know. It’s brief, so please read. (FROM A DOCTOR)

A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill, watching a DVD sermon by Louie Giglio … And I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to share what I learned…. But I fear not being able to convey it as well as I want. I will share anyway.
He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is… How He spoke the universe into being… How He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls of fire.. . Etc. Etc.

Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. At this point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know.) …. And I was remembering how I was constantly amazed during medical school as I learned more and more about God’s handiwork. I remember so many times thinking…. ‘How can ANYONE deny that a Creator did all of this???’ Louie went on to talk about how we can trust that the God who created all this, also has the power to hold it all together when things seem to be falling apart…how our loving Creator is also our sustainer.

And then I lost my breath. And it wasn’t because I was running my treadmill, either!!! It was because he started talking about laminin. I knew about laminin. Here is how Wikipedia describes them: ‘Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue .’ You see…. Laminins are what hold us together…. LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules . They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cel l. Without them, we would literally fall apart. And I knew all this already. But what I didn’t know is what they LOOKED LIKE.

But now I do. And I have thought about it a thousand times since (already)….Here is what the structure of laminin looks like… AND THIS IS NOT a ‘Christian portrayal’ of it…. If you look up laminin in any scientific/medical piece of literature, this is what you will see…

att00023
Now tell me that our God is not the coolest!!! Amazing.The glue that holds us together…. ALL of us…. Is in the shape of the cross.

Immediately Colossians 1:15-17 comes to mind.’He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible And invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; All things were created by him and for him.He is before all things, and in him All things HOLD TOGETHER. ‘ Colossians 1:15-17 Call me crazy. I just think that is very, very, very cool.

Thousands of years before the world knew anything about laminin, Paul penned those words. And now we see that from a very LITERAL standpoint, we are held together… One cell to another… By the cross.

You would never in a quadrillion years convince me that is anything Other than the mark of a Creator who knew EXACTLY what laminin ‘glue’ would look like long before Adam breathed his first breath!!
We praise YOU, Lord !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

—end—

I just think that this is truly amazing.  I’m speechless and in awe of our God!

Can you do this???

9 Oct

Can you do what the bible says below:

Colossians 3:17

Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Psalm 34:1

I will extol the Lord at all times;

His praise will always be on my lips.

I Corinthians 10:31

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Ephesians 5:20

Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 4:11

If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very word of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with all the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Chrst. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. AMEN!

Give me your thoughts on them please!

Emotions

6 Oct

Emotions swirling…

Unsure of things….

What am I do to?

I cant figure things out right now..

Oh Lord, hear me I cry out,

Reach out to me and pull me out of this I pray

Only you oh Lord, can I cling on to,

For strength and courage comes from you

Forgive me oh Lord,

For the hurt I’ve caused

For the harshness I’ve displayed

Forgive me oh Lord,

For the trouble I’ve made

For the meanness I’ve portrayed….
