God's Love Letter

Kite flying(;

Kite: He Holds on so that I won't be lost and that I may soar even Higher!

Philippians 1:6

Thief In The Night

Thief In The Night

Somehow through this house of mine
The windows shattered
The brick walls crumbled down
All without a sound

How this happened, I don't know
But this funny feeling's something
I've never felt before

CHORUS:
Like a thief in the night
You came around, you came around
To steal away my heart
Didn't see, didn't hear
When you came around
When you came around
To steal away my heart

You took everything away
You took my soul
You took my heart
But I've been smiling these days

If there's one thing that I've found
It's that love can sneak behind
And pin you to the ground

CHORUS

Oh, it came to be
Sounds hard to believe
That love found me
That love found me

CHORUS

When you came around
I gave away my heart

Thank God for You & Thank You X0X0

Undeserving yet blessed(;

(;

grace, mercy. These words, though often interchanged, have each a distinctive and peculiar meaning.

Grace, in the strict sense of the term, is spontaneous favor to the guilty or undeserving; mercy is kindness or compassion to the suffering or condemned.

It was the grace of God that opened a way for the exercise of mercy toward men. See Elegance.


~Thank God & Thank You June Tan~

-.-"

We have gone through this before.. why are you still at it again??
move on bro..move on..

Clenched hands. Head bowed. Eyes closed. Heart Cries.

I finished 3 papers... did I do well? good enough? I hope so.. All I can do is pray and Hope HE shines through..I really need You to Shine through..please.. but although how hard it maybe I will still Choose to praise You.. cause

"He said to me,
"'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'
"Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10


I pray that the next time I write the post will be about praising you again...
To praise in your Lows is learning harness and be reminded of the Grace that was once given to the HIGHS in your life...I will stand & praise..

In the midst of exams...

~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18~

Late entry(;

It's been weeks since I posted my last entry. So many things has happen and I really don't know where should I begin with. Its gearing up to my exams and I am really trying to get into the MODE. Firstly, The past few weeks was full of written and competency test plus increased activities in the lifegroup!!! Looking back I am Glad I made it through managing well(;(;Thank God. All these events in the past 3 weeks!!!
First up! i-Week!!! Pizza, Play & PANCAKES(:

The cast were amazing(; It was So impromtu!!!!! everyone reacted soooo well! realli an awesome bunch of talented individuals but more encouraging thing is their heart of service(: CHEERS!!!
the Turnout was AWESOME!! plus I believe many were ministered to that day(; Somehow I can't put a finger on it.. But I know that things are changing from good to GREAT!!

Next Up, Playing the Piano(;

I guess I have fallen in love again with the keys. I just love the feeling of running my fingers up and down the black and white steps. Just take a moment and enjoy the beauty and serenity it makes(; it just changes the atmosphere and your heart's condition(>.<).

My first time playing for Hope Church Brisbane's PRAYER MEETING!! AWESOME!!! indeed serving is a privileged because the One we are serving is greater than Kings! Thank You all for your encouragements(;(;(;

Another amazing piano event happened on one sunday afternoon. I headed off to school in the morning for a meeting with the leaders of the lifegroup to have a review session. The location where we held our meeting was at a nice pizza cafe with a grand piano at the corner of the room*free for public use*

After the discussion, I went over to play a few random tunes just to prepare myself for the service later on...

Heart: "God, today is day where we are suppose to give our pledge for building Unidus-.- but I don't know how I would be able to give & fulfill the pledge?"

Therefore I hesitate on this matter on giving for a while..

I felt God saying: " Have Faith that I'll provide."

Not too long after, an old lady wearing a purple dress with a red cap walked into the cafe and stop at the side of the piano & gaze at the beautiful scenery through the glass window. I thought I was distracting so I stopped...
She complimented on my playing and requested that I continued on...... so I did!
*Ilovethepiano and there was something about requests from the elderly that I wouldn't refuse*

After finish playing the 1st tune, I raised my head and saw approximately 10 individuals with the same attire gathered round the piano!??!?! I was shocked and apprehensive to continue playing. However upon their request, I continued on. The beauty of it all, is doing what I love so much and seeing it be a blessing to others(; AWESOME COMBINATION!
I finished off the medley of tunes with Jesus shall take the highest honor.
Simply Love the song! The lyrics, exaltation and the heart behind it all...

This is where the providence start(@.@)
One of the old lady stood up and collected some money from the rest as token of appreciation of my playing?!?!?!?!?
~Firstly, I am flattered that they appreciated those tunes(; It was an encouragement(;
~SECONDLY, I don't do this for MONEY!!!!!!!!!!I play because I want to.

The money was pushed back and forth. Eventually she placed it on the piano chair and said that they would just like to thank me for taking time to play the piano for them(;(;
She said: "Run along and get some lunch with that money." She smiled and then they made their way slowly out of the cafe.

I came to a realization that day. Music makes no sense if its only meant to satisfy yourself.Beautiful Music need not to be fancy pieces as simple tunes alone can capture hearts.
God showed His providence that day(; and I went on to place the pledge. In addition, that afternoon i was asked to play an altar call song at the end of the service. Guess what it was? Jesus shall take the highest honor! I clearly say that He is relevant and in REAL-TIME!
I hope that this inspires YOU to have faith and serve with the Heart!(;


Last Thing,Tests!test! & More TEST!!!

I am taking toooo long for this entry!!! but anyway I wouldn't be updating till the end of the exams so why not make it a long right?? (;
The recent tests such as the drilling competencies & the case analysis were major milestones in this course and there were many failures ): I honestly thought that I wouldn't fair as well in the knowledge of what my friends had received. But Praise the LORD! I did well!!

I passed my competency all 3 tries*failing one would void the results of the first try*
(each time was a nerve racking and intense 2 hr slot & loads of post-prayer!!!)

I did well enough for my Case analysis(: contented
(Reminder:dun be greedy ar!!)

To my sheep, Prayer moves the Hands of God(; have faith my brother...have faith...
lucky? Coincidental? I believe its God's favor as I know the times when it was not only my own doing but inclusive of the wisdom and discernment that comes from above(;(;(;

Life was never meant to be mundane and uninteresting, that's why it has its Ups and downs(;

The Pet I always wanted(:

Laughter is the best medicine(;(;(;

as of now..
I just wanna :D because of the little things in life(;
I speak because I know it would mean something and because I care..
Things might not be going the way you want or not as favorable..
But Let Go and Let God(;(;(; and Believe!!

People might treat you like a little boy or little girl... but show your maturity through your decisions(;(;(;Through your speech(;(;(;

Hmmm?? I don't get it??

It's not in a mess..(The Remedy-Bridge)..This scale never seems to be balance..

Fish out of water!!LOL

Yesterday night UQDA( University of Queensland Dental Association) has an event!!! BOAT CRUISE!!! 3hrs of partying on the BOAT!!! LOLOLOL *THE SCENERY & ATMOSPHERE WAS AWESOME*

Sometimes I felt like a fish out of water at times,seriously(: but my friends were very encouraging.. I guess the context was with friends which made the event even MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE!!!(: Tons of awesome photos taken! well I was the photographer,sober and on the bench half of the time(:(:(LOLOL but what matter is that the other half of the time was happy times(;(;(;

ALL THE MASKS WERE So COOL!!! should have done one though!! LOL Oops forgot to say it was a masquerade theme!! LOL

I will upload the pics here soon... tooo tired to do it now...LOL

pushing that event aside...

God has been great these past few weeks!!
Once someone told me its not praying life would be smooth sailing but its praying to have the tenacity to overcome adversity!!!!
This week I had a wax prep!!!~~means I had to create a tooth from scratch using wax!!! OH MY!! It was GOOD!!! then Again I believe HE helped a lot.. knowing that my previous one was a flop!!! BWAHAHWHAHWHAHWHAWH

Just between me and you??? I prayed for a black frame specs recently and GUESS WHAT!!?!?
I GOT IT!!! thanks to BING & TRISTEN(: I guess its in these simple request that I just want to thank GOD for... because it not only about the monumental events that strengthens your faith but its the successive small happenings that excites and reignites to continue to be steadfast in your FAITH!!!

witnessing divine interventions along the way ya??? YOU BETTER believe it!

Keep you in prayer

I saw you today in the library, I guess you have made a decision..I will be praying for you...
"God if that's what she wants, I pray that You be there for her to see it through!amen..."

With love
Yours sincerely,

Balloons(:

Balloons somehow just makes me feel happy(;
many Good memories with them!!! do you remember?? i won't forget!!
I still hold onto them tightly!!
Yet where those events just a passing phase??
for Me those times still resonates in my heart(: HAPPY TIMES
how I wish it would repeat itself(:(:(:

"WHO ATE THE CARROTS?

"WHO ATE THE CARROTS?"

There are moments that you just to afraid to speak...
Just wanna hide in the backdrop...
Doing small gestures*raising your hands* and fooling yourself that its sufficient to be seen
yet what you do resonates along with your heart
its not a question of boldness
its the readiness to bear the ripple effects of our speech
?

you think too much...do I?really?

Believe

"I choose to believe even if others tells me otherwise,
for I have experience your kindness and goodness."

My room(;

"My hiding place"

Naive?Sincere?Earnest?Facade? you decide.. I choose to be real and volitional the way I know how

I guess everyone deserves a second chance...its more of the concept of being forgiving in nature. One thing I realise that I grew up being inspired to learn to love people despite the difficulty. Yet I believe the courage to make the first step to starting loving others is always the hardest(; and for all the first years who made their first bold step as well as the seniors who helped in the freshie's assimilation! CHEERS!!!! keep it going...things will get better, believe it!

Recently I have been hearing people's impression of one another..some good and some not soo good): I think its only wise to heed people's advice but honestly this so called 'seeing-the-good-in people' to believe that people are better than what is mentioned can often be labeled as 'naivety'! well I ask for discernment & wisdom to know the difference...but my heart still leans towards the earlier label...

I was talking to an amazing friend today and heard on how she tries her best to care and inspire the younger generation towards God despite the language and racial barrier just encourages my heart and the measure of His love through her for His people...well done & keep it up!!(; *pat on your back*thats if you ever see this!LOL

(;(;(;a skip in my step...glad to see you! God I pray you save...

People told me it was impossible and that I should give up trying... I looked Up and In the depths of my heart I held onto my hope and faith... and He prevailed!AMEN

waiting for the rocket to come!

A common quote:
Nice guys finish last...true??
Well at least one thing I know is that Nice guys will last(:

What makes me (; is knowing that my presence has made you feel a little bit better, has made things a little bit smoother, difficult situations a little bit more bearable & bliss moments a little bit more happier for u(;

Altruism...(;
