I came across to quote some time ago – "We should not be concerned with how much of the Holy Spirit we have but how much of us the Holy Spirit has", and was reminded of how in 1 Kings 17, Elijah asked the poor woman to bring all the jars she could find. As many jars as she brought was as many jars that were filled. Indeed, the more we bring, the more we shall be filled. How much do I want from Jesus? That depends on how much I bring Him. The most I can give, is all of what I am. God does not ask for more than that. -- Can't imagine life without You, without You And it's all for You, and it's all for You -Hillsong Sitting behind some boys while observing a workshop at RJC Above postcard image from Post Secret -- Chant: I will use my dslr. I will use my dslr. I will use my dslr. Or rather, I will use my brother-in-law's DSLR, since it's with me. Must make use of it! Anyways. I'm going on a mission trip with 15 others this Tuesday for a week to do

When doing research for essays I come across all these great books, and once in a while I think - why am I writing such an essay? Everything is in this book already! I feel like I'm just summarising it. Okay la I get material from elsewhere too. But yea sometimes I feel that way - there's already such a good book on it?! And, okay okay shallow thinking. But this is just an initial thought!

Last Friday at usual post-OCF supper, I got high/comfortable (?) enough to comment on something not awesome with the word "awesome" and are not nice thing (someone having to work seven hours on saturday) with "nice", and for both, I was asked, "How is that awesome/nice?" Which is completely understandable, given my confusing use of certain words. One could probably say something about James Carey and the process model of communication - how can a "message" go from sender to receiver, exactly as it was intended, without the "interference" of say, context and cultural differences (feel free to crit, senior. haha. But of course this is a simple explanation). But anyway. My brother is most probably the only person who, when I say "awesome", knows whether I mean it really is awesome, or it really is not. And I love how we can talk/banter/nonsense and always continue in the most appropriate way, whether it's supposed to be a jo

You know what's cool? What's cool is when the very busy and popular Aunty Merrilyn (OCF Board of Advisor) finds a student's assignment worth her time praying for when she has a million other things to pray for, like her ex-students who are now missionaries in Nepal, persecuted Christians in the world, and other pressing issues; she woke up that morning thinking, Oh I hope Faith's assignment went alright! It is how God thinks of us too - there isn't anything too trivial; He meets us at our need. And the prayer of a righteous person sure is effective (James), because I sure don't know how I finished my essay last Monday so uber quickly. 4am starts are usually slow cos your brain doesn't quite want to work. But at 4am I was thinking clearly and the words came so smoothly, and I finished my essay in very nice time. I have more to share, but it is bedtime. So just one thing - God is good, all the time . I pray you may find Him so, too. :)

Dear God, I am so ugly. Please change me. Change my heart O God Make it ever new Change my heart O God May I be like You You are the potter I am the clay Make me and mould me This is what I pray It may be that I am being reminded of that because I asked God to show me how much I needed Him.
