Enough

Since I got my second hand iPhone from Ian and downloaded the Bible into it, I've taken to reading from it in the train to work every other day. Today, I read Matthew 15 which tells of how with seven loaves and a few small fish, Jesus fed four thousand. Often, we see the story of the loaves and fishes as multiplication – of how when we give God little, He can make it many. Today as I read it, very simply, what I noticed was the very fact that God provides . When we give thanks to God for what He has already given us, no matter what the amount is, it will be enough. If we are content with our lot, believing it is enough, it will be enough. I'm learning to never say His grace will be enough. Because His grace already is enough. All of You is more than enough for All of me for every thirst and Every need, You satisfy me With Your love And all I have in You Is more than enough -Chris Tomlin

I am no longer an apathetic youth!

Indeed! Honestly, I never knew politics and a General Election could get me so... so... like... I feel so much for it. Social media has probably helped a lot because I see all these news and comments and it's more fun that I have friends expressing their opinions, and not just the mass media which is barely fulfilling its purposed function as a fourth estate ayes. My Dad's favourite thing to do in the past week or so has been to turn on the computer once he gets home from work and start watching rally videos and reading people's comments about the GE. I find it quite funny actually - that my Dad is discovering the power of social media :P I actually genuinely feel sad for Mr Chiam See Tong (SPP) who has had a hold on the Potong Pasir ward for the past 27 years, till now. SPP lost Potong Pasir by just 0.36%, to the PAP. Angry Singaporeans are petitioning for a revote . This was apparently his "office" where he would meet the people of Potong Pasir - a ...

Bubble moments

Image
Oh my. When you work, time really just passes by so very quickly! But anyway. I wanted to share about bubble moments. For times when I need something therapeutic - perhaps when I am a bit down, listless or emo-ish (not a fan of that word), I blow bubbles. It's not so much that they make me happy, but more that they are sort of something calming-ish? They accompany me in my "moment" and bring some sort of tranquility. God really does have a way with things, doesn't He? Even things like bubbles :) - There isn't any bubble solution at home. But that's okay. I've realised that another therepautic thing for me is watercoluring. I don't watercolour like the pro Miss Hand Made Love does, (please don't judge my amateur watercolouring skills, plus, these are incomplete! :x) but I just do a bit or it every month-ish or so. It's good for me, I thinks. And the friends I give them to. Accompanied with some words of course :)...

My heart reads // Willingness

I've got to admit I haven't been reading my Bible very regularly. Still, God has been very good, constantly speaking and revealing through His Word. These days, I find that I read somewhat differently. As I read, I seem to recognise the tone and emotions of the situation more than before. Beyond just reading objectively and looking at things metaphorically and whatnot, I seem to understand more of the... the EQ part of it? It's like I actually feel the text. Haha. Like I feel something... almost in my heart? It's pretty cool actually - exciting :D Exciting when God stirs you in some way ayes? Exciting when new things happen and are learnt or given! Part of it probably has been contributed by Ian and a church leader saying that while reading a text, it is important to understand the then-culture and situation in order to comprehend it better. The other big part of it is the Holy Spirit's work as He teaches me. -- Today, I read Matthew 8. A man with lepros...

Oh bear, how I do love you!

"Oh bear!" said Christopher Robin. "How I do love you!" "So do I," said Pooh. “Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.” “If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever” “Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -Christopher Robin to Pooh Christopher Robin looked long and hard at Pooh's face. "Are you learning me by heart?" asked Pooh. "No," he answered, "I know you by heart. You are inside my heart." A.A. Milne

I should sell my Intuos 3 tablet, right?

Image
The Wacom Intuos 3 drawing tablet. PTZ-630. Bought it when my days were design-full. Looking at it makes me happy, actually :D haha. But I'm afraid I won't use it anymore, so I should just give it up? But what if I do want to use it again one day? It could come in handy :D Mehhh. Um, anybody wants this one? :/
