Me

hehe…just got this from Liven, nice isn’t it? this is me, wearing a cross necklace and holding a bible in hand, well i do wish that one day i am able to preach the word of God to the point that people’s lives are being transformed. I see a need of growing much deeper in the word of God at this stage. Time to do more.

Thank you Liven, i can really see the significant growth in you since you accepted Christ, keep it up! And i believe that God is already using you, and is gonna use you so much more greatly to impact many people’s lives along the journey.

Collection

Since young, i like collecting cards and letters from people, i’ve got a big box back home, with all those cards, letters, even those small pieces of paper with written conversations with my deskmates back in high school and even primary school (that’s how we had fun during classes :-p).

Don’t know why when words come to me with a written form they will just become so precious to me, and i will keep all of them even if it is just a small piece of paper.

Last Sunday was the shepherd appreciation day, so touched to see people doing different things to appreciate their shepherds and leaders, so touched by my sheep sheeps and LG people too! Due to this i got some “new collections”, as usual i put them in one place, which is a paper bag.

Today i took out this paper bag, it’s filled with nearly every single written word from people since i came to Brisbane, i spent some time reading back some cards and letters, recalling how i have been growing with all these brothers and sisters and friends, really felt so blessed to be in this family of God.

bookmarks & little cards

letters & different scraps

Really appreciate every single one of you who has once written some words to encourage me.

p.s. While rearranging those cards and letters, I found 2 letters from my Korean friends which i received 3 years ago in Malaysia, i brought them with me when i came to Brisbane, really miss those 2 girls – Sung Hee and Junk Ki, 2 of my best friends back in Malaysia.

（3 years back, in Malaysia, how time flies!)

p.s. again: Korean people are very nice! Like my shepherd Christine

But for YOU i will

‘one of the smart ways to answer people’s questions is to ask them back when they ask you, by doing this, you are guiding them to think…’

Sounds familiar? I believe that we all have heard something like this…

That’s true, a lot of times when we think deeper / look back, we can usually find the answer ourselves, but just that a lot of times we tend to focus on what we are doing /encountering, until we can’t remember the starting point, which is the purpose.

I am not a typical type of thinker, but sometimes i do spend time pondering things of my life…purpose, vision, conviction, plan…etc…

It’s interesting that sometimes you don’t even know whether you are pondering because you have questions or you are pondering to have questions. It just seems like the more you ponder the more ‘question marks’ you have…It’s even more interesting that when we try to ask God ‘Why?’, then God asks us back ‘Why?’

But…now i realise that,

It’s because, God sees that we have the answers ourselves…

yea…we have the answers ourselves, because God gives us the wisdom to make decisions for HIM…

But still, sometimes when God speaks to us we will be like ‘God are you sure? Why?’

‘Why you ask me why?’ (when this kind of questions is asked back by God, this is the time when we really need to use God-given wisdom to ponder / think through, and be serious about finding the answers.)

Dear God, thank YOU, for all the guidance and covering, i know YOU are with me all the time. Please forgive me if sometimes i still doubt, despite all the blessings and favour that YOU have given me.

But no matter how, i will choose to live my life for YOU.

‘Where would i be, if not for Your grace…’

I am not a very ambitious person / an adventurer by nature, but for YOU, i will take this step, by Faith.

Covenant friendship can be so romantic – for Sunny

Dear Sunny,

有你真好:-)

Remember that you were the first ever girl that i talked to in CCM, remember that gold coast day trip? Remember what made us share so much during the trip? just simply because we both loved Sun Yan Zi’s songs…hehe..then we had the same water baptism during Melbourne OC 07, entered the same membership class…

It’s been 2 years plus already since we knew each other, in the past two years, we are the witnesses of each other’s growth, thanks for being together with me along the journey.

07/02/09 is a special day for both of us, because this is the day that we declared our covenant friendship. Let’s celebrate it every year:)

My dear covenant friend, thank you for all the understanding, love, encouragement, and support all this while, i LOVE you!

We are going back to Melbourne soon, i’m sure it will bring back heaps of memory between 2 of us:) Ready for it? I pray that we both will experience breakthroughs in the coming OC!

This album is dedicated for you:

Thank you for this bear, ’she’ is the witness of our covenant friendship:)

Return to blogging

Just realised that i had been having this blog for nearly two years…

From july 07 to now, 21 posts have been produced…not too bad hey:P

Whenever I look back, I am like “TIME FLIES…”, Can’t imagine that my third year in Brisbane has already started, didn’t plan to stay in Australia at all when i first came, but interestingly i am still here now…(LEGALLY^^)

I am now officially in the Real World, just had my graudation 2 weeks ago, wow…that BIG day!So unforgettable, actually i was really touched by everyone, really thank God for this sweet family in Brisbane:)by the way, mum really enjoyed her holiday in Brisbane, she really loves us:)mum, we love you as well:)

Looking for a job at the moment, hmmm….it’s really not easy, but i trust in God for His provision, as i believe that if He calls me to stay, He has already had a wonderful plan for me, and He will also provide me with things that i need.

A lot of things are happening around these days, which make me feel a little bit overwhelmed, but it’s still fine, at least i believe that everything is in control:)

Waiting for a job, waiting for everything to be settled down…the time of waiting is always longer than the time of getting what you are waiting for, but at the end of the day, we will realise that, we have learnt the most from the process, this is the time when God moulds us and grows us. Blessings always come along with obedience.

God sometimes allows us to go through some situations to let us know how much we love Him, doesn’t mean that if we choose to love Him more we will not get what we wish for at all, it means, in all the circumstances, if we first choose to acknowledge our relationship with God, He will acknowledge us as well. So, God i trust in You, as You have never failed me.

Go Nilla!
