joy in simplicity

2009-06-04T11:01:00.003+08:00

hey hey. how haf u guys been doing??? just wanna share sth dat hit me yesterday :) just as i was studying really hard, i was multitasking n chatting with a good friend.. i showed her d following picture and commented that it made me really happy :) cos d post-its were really happy and bright.

now now, how does that link to what i want to say? my friend's comment to what i said was "cheap thrill" and that really got me thinking... yes, indeed, its the simple things that makes your day. and it brought me to link that to our relationship with our Daddy.. its really very simple. All He ask of us is to keep things simple and to love Him cos He loves us.. There is no need to go complicate things.. what we need is to go back to the very basics of this relationship we have with Him.

over the past weeks, God has been impressing in my heart about His joy. in Neh 8:10 it talks about God's Joy being our STRENGTH.. and i really feel it is leading up to this.. especially during exams, can you see the simple joys that God brings to your life that will encourage you on? i really challenge u guys to be alert when these things come your way. cos it may be like mine. something that really made my day :)

remedy for undue worry (:

2009-05-28T02:55:00.012+08:00

hellohello!
here's something i read from Pastor Steven Furtick (awesome reads there) that i thought i'd share here, enjoy (:

Anxiety is sin. My anxiety infers that:

- God is incompetent.
If I’m anxious, it suggests that there’s an issue in my life that God is potentially incapable of resolving. If His arm is not short and His ear is not deaf (read Isaiah 59:1) , why am I kicking and screaming trying to save myself?

- God is forgetful.
Do I suspect that my need has slipped God’s mind? Does the Lord need me to send Him a reminder in the form of my panic and stress…just to make sure He doesn’t miss the appointment?

- God is indifferent.
1 Peter 5:7 teaches that I can cast all my anxiety on Him-because-and only because-He cares for me.
By refusing to cast my cares on Him, I expose my deep down belief that He really doesn’t care-about me…about my particular burden. Anxiety puts the pressure on me to perform as my own personal Savior, thereby undermining the intentions of God on my behalf.

Anybody other than me need to repent?

Be anxious for nothing.
Anxiety is unbiblical. It’s counterproductive. And it’s a direct insult to the proven character of a powerful, faithful, loving God.

there's my remedy for undue worry (:
study hard, rest well and D.O.G !

love,
lijin(:

Seated in Your majesty

You are my God, my life, my all
And I live for You alone
I am Yours evermore
Heaven and earth "will shout" Your praise
The wonder of Your name
I'll proclaim evermore

Evermore
Evermore

And I will run
Into Your presence
And I will sing
Sing forever

You Are My Strength - Hillsong.mp3 -

You are my strength
Strength like no other

In the fullness of Your grace
In the power of Your Name

You lift me up

Unfailing love
Stronger than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Reaches to me

Your love O Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Reaches to the skies

HEYO PEPO!!!!

How are you all??heheeheh. most of us are having mid-sem test and assignments and.......(u fill in the blanks yourself =P), this week and next week. Thats mean......STRESS(picture on the left)! nah i don't think u guys are as bad as the person in the pic!=) anyway, just to encourage u guys to never fail to pray(ask) for God's wisdom from Him during these times. I was doing my quiet time this morning and the chapter that i read today really speaks to me about asking God for wisdom. Its in 1 Kings 3:5-12. Its where God asked King Solomon what he wanted and he asked for wisdom. And God granted him wisdom. In Matthew 7:7-8 Jesus said “ask and u will receive”. all u need to do is ask Him! its that easy!so yep, pray to Him for wisdom and i believe that He will surely give it to u!=) alrighty, thats all from me for today. Heheheh. Good luck for all ur tests/exams and all!!!No stress and God Bless!! See u pepo on fri!!!=P

luv,
Steph =P

just for laughs(:

2009-03-22T21:14:00.003+09:00

here's a little laugh for those of us with exams/test this week(:
remember to keep everyone in prayer, have a greak week ahead !!

ahh.. terribly sorry for d lack of update. hehe.. my internet has been quite off lately.. so i can't do much online *yikes*

anw, how has everyone been doing?? i hope u're all good. hehe.. i was just doing my devotional just now, and one statement caught my eye. it says "God has a purpose behind everything He did" and somehow, no matter how simple it sounds, it still caught my attention. indeed, how comforting to know that HE has His reason for creating us. many times in Genesis, it shows us the reason GOd had behind all His creation. and that includes for us too!!! *so no more saying "i'm no good" or "i suck" k?* heheh...

venue: eunice's house
time: 7pm (note change)
theme: korean

yupyup. for now, thats all.. do rsvp on d tag board if u're coming and if u need transport etc so we know who to arrange for k? :D

agape, eunice

updates 19/03 00:45AM : hehe. sorry. i forgot to include. ofcourse we have bulgogi (correct spelling?) and chilli pork :D hehe. yummy!!! mayb we'll bbq it? or fry it. hehe. see how. i kinda dun wan my hse smelling again.. HAHAHA..

just want to end off with the verse below

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow eary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:29-31
