He knows and understands it fully

Image
See, that's the nice thing about God - He fully understands. When I don't know what to write, I can draw. Even when I'm drawing nonsense, I know He understands. Because ultimately it's not about my drawings or words. It's about what I want to say - what my heart wants to say. And however I express it, He can see it, He knows it. And He knows it fully. (Okay am aware this might sound a tad bit emo, but it's not :/ )

The Grand Weaver

Hallo Dawnsa, happy singapore-ing. -- The Grand Weaver: How God shapes us through the events of our lives Ravi Zacharias We often find out too late in life that attaining a pursuit and finding fulfillment are not necessarily the same thing. It is surely possible to find meaning without achieving extraordinary success. Many people do. Immense success does not always bring meaning or fulfillment. For some, finding their calling does mean success, but often this success comes after repeated failures. And sometimes it takes an entire lifetime to recognize God’s calling.

End of uni sem one

Guess what! Okay you don't have to guess - I'll tell you. I finished my exams today! That means, I've finished a semester of studies at Monash University \m/ And today, I actually thought - I can't wait for school to start again! While there's the boredom and restlessness from having to study everyday so diligently, I think I can actually say I enjoyed my exams. Honestly, I felt nervous/stressed for a grand total of about three minutes, prior to my first paper. Mad, right? Well I guess it just means I quite like school. Maybe cos I generally like what I'm studying. Or maybe I'm starting to learn to lean on God's grace. Which is always sufficient - His abundance meets my dependence. But anyway, I'm glad the holidays are here. Hi, meet my cactus. I'm not one to name my things, mostly. So my cactus is just, well, my cactus. My cactus came from Queen Victoria Market. And before that it came from somewhere else - I don't know where. Since I coul

Wind like waves

When I'm in my room and the outside is dark. The tree leaves brushing against each other as the wind whips make it sound like I'm living by the sea. Wind like waves.

Ephesians 3:16-19

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." – Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV) -- Ah Abi I suck - I didn't wish you a happy birthday yesterday! Sorry :x I think I have cute songs on my iTunes. Such as Foreign Country - The Concretes Goodnight and Go - Imogen Heap Singing Softly to Me - Kings of Convenience Sunlight in a Jar - The Lucksmiths I Found Love - The Free Design \m/ It's quite interesting to go back and read blog posts from long long ago. hOrX gLeNdA. nO, I nEvA dId tYpE LYk dAt. aNd I UsEd tO rEfUsE tO rEaD bLoGs oF pEopLe wHo tYpEd LyK dAt cOz iT wAz jUz

Resting, not trying to rest

Rest in me, rest in me. .......... I'm trying, I'm trying. No trying. Resting means resting. You don't need to try when you rest. You just rest. You lay it down, and you rest. -- Sometimes things seem so hard. But they actually really are easy. Sometimes, it's we who make things hard.

Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God

Image
I should start taking photos for fun again -- Hebrews 11 in the Bible is about some people of great faith. Verse 16 goes on to say - "Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God." Wow. God is not ashamed to be called their God. Does that mean that there are people whom God is ashamed of being called, their God? :/ Today I wrote - God, I hope You are proud to be my God, that You really like being my Daddy. Not that I'm awesome or anything, especially when compared to Your riches and great character. But well, You see how I try and want to lean on You. You see my desires and intentions and I hope You are pleased, You are proud. It's not about the striving and trying to do good things. Jesus sees your heart! :) -- I came straight home for, what? Oh, right. Study. That's right - it's the exam period. Study. k cools. haha. My holidays are too short! Just the two weeks at home (how to meet everyone), then it's straight back to another semester of sch

Worship Him and grow through fellowship; home and change

Image
Outside an empty cafe, Arab Street, Singapore -- If I wanted to be really comfortable, I'd say - I don't want to meet anyone, and I'll just always be alone (well, with Jesus). After all, people sometimes can make things confusing. And being alone means not caring, and just doing whatever I want and being however I want to be (wow what immature thinking ha). But truth is, will I be truly happy? I think I'll end up feeling restless (I am not one to sit still for long). God made me for fellowship. And God made me to give and receive, not just to/from Him, but through and to others as well. And that is how I worship Him - by being with people, loving and being loved. And doing that makes me grow. And I am committed to growth. -- Thoughts about going home. Maybe in a way, things will be strange back home - familiar, yet distant. Time changes things. And/or time changes us. And/or time and experiences change perspectives, paradigms. So does putting on spectacles. -_-

Like a million parachutes The snow's coming down I'll lock up the front door And turn the lights down In the glow of the street lights I see them descend Like a million parachutes Small men on a mission ( A Million Parachutes , Sixpence None The Richer) Wint'r hath come.

Bad Melb TV, Shoe story

Watching TV after a certain time is hazardous man! All those M18 ads. Oh yea - the ads here are quite bad :P I find myself raising my eyebrow or laughing, going "er..." quite a bit. And no Mei, I haven't actually watched a single episode of Simpsons! Are you stressed out studying for your exams (Monash students)? Well, here's another something spastic for you to go -_- at...
