He Giveth More Grace

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater, 

He sendeth more strength when the labors increase; 

To added affliction He addeth His mercy; 

To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance, 

When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, 

When we reach the end of our hoarded resources, 

Our Father's full giving is only begun.

Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision, 

Our God ever yearns His resources to share; 

Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing; 

The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.

His love has no limit; His grace has no measure. 

His power has no boundary known unto men; 

For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, 

He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

Annie Johnson Flint

2Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Happy Easter

After a long day in uni, I finally got home and all I wanted to do was shower.
So I untied my hair, tossed the rubber band on the table and went to shower.

When I came back, I saw this on the table.

A text from a friend:

"The reason we rejoice today is because Jesus didn't stay in the tomb but He triumphed over death and today, He is alive!" - Mark 16:6-7. Happy Easter everyone!"

God is everywhere, He is always around.

We just have to look close enough to find Him.
So don't ever stop looking.

"Here I am! 
I stand at the door and knock. 
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, 
I will come in and eat with him, 
and he with me." 
- Revelations 3:20

On a side note, I drove a manual car today for the first time in a looong time.

Haha the result was hilarious but at least the car's still in one piece :)

Happy Easter everyone.

strangers.. again.

One of the best things I've watched on youtube.

So sweet. 

And so real. :S

But I'm an optimist, I believe in happy endings. 

Why? 

Cause I just do. 

:)

I'm waiting for you to say you're here to stay

Just give it to me quick

Are you coming home?

Don't dance around it

I need to hear this

I chose you long ago

Have you chosen me yet

I'm starting to wear thin and find it harder to forgive

Every time you let us slip down your list of priorities

I'm waiting for you to say you're here to stay

But darling, if you know that it's through

You can't keep doing what you do

If it's time to let go of you

Now please don't take this wrong

You know I want you

But don't think I won't move on

I can get by on my own

I'll stand without you

Look how I have grown

I'm starting to wear thin and find it harder to forgive

Every time you let us slip down your list of priorities

I'm waiting for you to say you're here to stay

But darling, if you know that it's through

You can't keep doing what you do

If it's time to let go of

You once whispered words to me

Wondering if anybody loved each other like we do

I guess that's not enough for you

Tell me or I'm going to let you go

If it's time to let go of you

hellogoodbye. here in your arms.

I like where we are

When we drive in your car

I like where we are here

Cause our lips can touch

And our cheeks can brush

Our lips can touch here

Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me

Whispers hello I miss you quite terribly

I fell in love, in love with you suddenly

Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

I like where you sleep

When you sleep next to me

I like where you sleep here

Our lips can touch

And our cheeks can brush

Cause our lips can touch here

Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me

Whispers hello I miss you quite terribly

I fell in love, in love with you suddenly

Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

Our lips can touch

Our lips can touch here

You are the one, the one that lies close to me

Whispers hello I miss you quite terribly

I fell in love, in love with you suddenly

Now there's no place else I could be but here in your

Well you are the one the one that lies close to me

Whispers hello I miss you, I miss you

I fell in love, in love with you suddenly

Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

Here in your arms

Here in your arms

Day 4: jump & fall?

1)   My salvation & my friends'

How many will enter the Kingdom of Heaven? 

How many won't?

Will I?

Whose up there already?

2)   God & His Word.

Like what does He want me to do?

What does He expect me to accomplish this year?

Am I currently doing what's pleasing in His eyes?

Yeah, I surprised myself.

But God's been on my mind a lot lately.

I think He's finally answering my prayers :) 

And for that, I'm thankful.

3)  Am I doing enough? Is this enough?

In terms of studying, as a second year medical student.

In terms of religion, as a good Christian.

In terms of family, as a good daughter.

In terms of life, as a good friend.

4)  If I'll ever find that someone that I can't live without.

If I'll ever have what my parents had.

 

5)  What should I eat later?  

Hmm.

6)  What would have happened if I won the election.

Would my life be any different?

Would I be happy?

Would I be able to achieve anything?

7)  You.

I don't know what to do about you.

the rhythm of love

My head is stuck in the clouds

She begs me to come down

Says "Boy quit foolin' around"

I told her "I love the view from up here

Warm sun and wind in my ear

We'll watch the world from above

As it turns to the rhythm of love"

We may only have tonight

But till the morning sun you're mine all mine

Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love

My heart beats like a drum

A guitar string to the strum

A beautiful song to be sung

She's got blue eyes deep like the sea

That roll back when she's laughing at me

She rises up like the tide

The moment her lips meet mine

We may only have tonight

But till the morning sun you're mine all mine

Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love

When the moon is low

We can dance in slow motion

And all your tears will subside

All your tears will dry

Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba baba

Da da-da dum da-da dum

Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba

Da da-da dum da-da dum

And long after I've gone

You'll still be humming along

And I will keep you in my mind

The way you make love so fine

We may only have tonight

But till the morning sun you're mine all mine

Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love

Lifehouse's Everything - Skit

The parts after 3.47 are really encouraging, to me at least.

I felt that it was so empowering and so real and so related to our daily life,

be it the temptations, the bad habits, the sinful natures we all have inside.

I find it strange and a little coincidental that I've been getting spiritual cues on a daily basis, from every direction and every possible source recently.

Is it You, God?

I feel so blessed, 

because I feel like I'm constantly being reminded about how great You are and about Your Word. 

It's been.. whaat.. day 2 of my Bible reading sessions. 

Which again is something sort of a miracle for me, since I could never pick up a Bible before. 

I always found it boring and non-relatable.. 

it was just all words to me.. like how those stock market columns in newspapers are.

But recently, I've begun to really read the verses, like really. 

It's like a lamp that's been suddenly turned on, and what's stranger? 

I actually find myself enjoying my Bible reading sessions. :)

Dear God, 

I just hope that if You want me to do something for You, 

please leave me with clear instructions cause I'm kinda blur :P 

But I promise to try not to doubt whatever You send my way. 

Also, I hope he was sent by You. 

:)

never say never :)

It may be lame, but it'll still be pretty cool to see him live.

Wish I would actually get off my ass one day, stop talking or thinking about how awesome it would be, but just go out and attend one of these concerts.

Hm Bruno Mars was tonight, I think Maroon 5 is coming too.

I heard Justin Bieber still has tickets left over. 

So sad. 

Imagine the whole stadium being surrounded by just hysterical screaming teenaged girls. 

Haha that'll be funny. 

Imagine if there were actually GUYS! 

HAHA totally lose face if they were photographed into the newspapers or blog sites. 

Hahaha

I would like probably kick myself if I saw a big manly guy in the crowd, singing to Justin Bieber.

HAHA

Marry me by Train sighs :)

Forever can never be long enough for me

Feel like I've had long enough with you

Forget the world now, we won't let them see

But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted

Love has surely shifted my way

Marry me today and every day

Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will, say you will

Together can never be close enough for me

Feel like I am close enough to you

You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you

And you're beautiful

Now that the wait is over

And love and has finally shown her my way

Marry me today and every day

Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will, say you will

Promise me you'll always be happy by my side

I promise to sing to you when all the music dies

And marry me today and everyday

Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will, say you will marry me

Day 3 dance with Mr. Lee

I just realized I never completed my 10 Day Challenge. 

Okay, so where was I? 

Hm, Day 1's done, Day 2's done.. 

yep so here goes Day 3: 

:)

1) Be sweet and consistent. 

I like it when people remember something I mentioned like months ago and did something about it.

2) Humorous. 

You have to be funny otherwise, I really don't see us going anywhere.

3) Compassionate. 

Caring for others, as if they were his own, is a bonus.

4) Independence. 

I think guys who are really handy, like know how to fix cars or typical household appliances, really attractive.

5) Thoughtful. 

Always thinking of what's best, not just for himself, but others.

6) Mannered. 

Cursing for no apparent reason or being sarcastic or rude all the time, is a major turn off.

7) Loving.

 He should love his family as much as he loves me.

8) Talented? 

I think guys who can play the guitar or piano or even sing a little are really sexy. 

Checking things of my list

You broke it.

another one bites the dust

Life is honestly fleeting.

My mum just told me that a family friend had passed away, just recently.

The last time I saw this man, was at my dad's funeral.

Guess now it's his turn. Hmm. But I know for a fact that this man believed in God, and if I'm not mistaken, he even tried to convince my dad to go to church a couple of times.
So at least, I'm comforted by the fact, he's probably in Heaven with everyone else now.

Sigh. I just feel so sorry for his wife and the children he left behind. She must be going through hell right now.

I hope she finds solace in time, and knows that he's really in a better place.

Aunty Nancy said she actually went to Heaven once, and it was so beautiful that when she woke up, she told her husband and daughters not to pray or wish for her to come back if she ever passed away.
She never wanted to leave Heaven again. 

Haha she said when people pass away, it should be a time of celebration.

 So for her funeral, she hopes her husband will play that 'in Jesus, I'm born again' song and serve durian to all her guests. 

Haha I found that hilarious, but it definitely made sense. 

I mean, who doesn't love a good durian fest? :)

Anyway, have a blessed day everyone.

Hopefully this week will be over soon.

Dear God, so let Your will be done

I will be satisfied with whatever the outcome. 

But please, prepare me for either answer. 

Thank you. Amen.
