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.

I’ll come back with more than a song

‘It’s time to update your blog Nilla!’

yea… thank those who have reminded me of this.

I think it happens to us sometimes when there’s much in our mind but we just don’t know in what way we can start writing. I think I am now in this situation.

I confess that these days I am a little bit depressed, smart and observant are those people who come to me and ask ‘Nilla are you ok?’ Thank those who listen to me and give me suggestions. I keep calling home lately, don’t know why, calling home is just like taking a piece of panadol, home is always where my strength is from Amen! This makes me feel that I am spoiled though. That’s why I keep telling myself ‘Hey you’re not young anymore! Try to be more independent!’ 

Last night we had a combined lifegroup at uni, it was awesome to see all those familiar faces, as well as some new ones, yea…the whole daniels is growing. Ray’s speech was impressed, he said ‘be content with what you have had’. yea…when I look back, I really find that I have gained a lot in the past 3 years, especially when I see how God has changed my family, from a nearly broken one into a harmonious one, and recovered it from all those financially related problems, till now, everything is running smoothly and well on the right track. I ask myself ’Isn’t this good enough for you? You have even got more than what you expected, why are you still not content with what is in your hands?’ 

While worshiping, I found that everyone was very into it, I was like ‘Nilla, see! All of them are so desperate to seek God, and making their very efforts to grow more and more, how about you? Why you are still standing at where you were and not heading forward and even walking away?’

It’s time to get refreshed and restored! Sometimes the biggest enemy of human is themselves, they only know how toughly they suffer from problems and difficulties, but they never know they themselves are the reasons why problems come, and sometimes they even take some more actions to make the situation worse!

Nilla, wake up ok? Don’t get yourself stuck with what is meaningless! Be what you ought to be, be a Godly Lovely one! Only by this you will smile in the end!

I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You
All about You, Jesus
I’m sorry, Lord, for the things I’ve made it
When it’s all about You
All about You, Jesus

I’ll come back with more than a song Lord! I’m coming back!

My life, My Beautiful Starry Starry Night

Just find that my little blog has been forsaken for nearly a month (Sorry my blog!) I still remember how enthusiastic I was when I just created this blog (updated it even if I was busy) But day by day, I seem to be slack in updating it, sometimes even forgot its existence (Sorry again my blog!)

Is this human being? Always being enthusiastic when something is fresh for them, then getting tired of it, then may be forgetting about it…then one day they may become realising the value of its existence when they lose it?

When I look back, I find that I once lost some important things in my life, which I will never get back. It’s inevitably feeling bitter to recall some memory, and somehow getting regretfully for it. I’ve experienced a lot during these few years,  some is sweet, some is bitter, some is encouraging and some is depressing. Some is unforgettable, which seems to be engraved in my heart, some is too little that even if I try my best to recall, I can’t remember it.

8 months ago, I was hurt by something done by someone, at that point of time, everything just seemed to be hopeless to me, and I was crying and crying, didn’t even think that I could get recovered from it.

8 months later, when I recall it, I just smile, and say to myself “what a childish girl!”

Yea…nothing can’t be healed by God’s mercy and love. Today when I see all the beautiful things (my sweet family, kindly brothers and sisters,  lovely friends,  natural beauty…) around me, I get to understand how ‘more than enough’ is.

Dear Lord, you healed my broken heart and bound up my wound, by blessing me with all of these, what could be better other than this? Just wanna say THANK YOU to you! So many things have been changed over the past few years, the only one thing that still stays the same is God’s love to me, it’s unconditional even when I failed him.

Today, I choose to face my past smilingly, at least I can tell how much I’ve grown.

There must be a reson behind everything’s happening, we may not understand, but God has his own purpose on it. I believe that everything that happens to me, is not a coincidence, it’s planned to happen.

Every person that I get to know, is a unique star, composing a beautiful ’starry starry night’ in my life.

I’ll keep walking, during some points of  this journey, there may be difficulties, temptations or frustrations, but I won’t give up any of the things that I ought to pursue, since there’s nothing can separate me from the truth.

Testimony+Yummy Trip

Mum and me had lunch together with my housemate’s family in morgans seafood market today, let me recall, it was really a long way to Morgans seafood market (which is located in scarborough boat harbour) from indooroopilly, bus+train+bus, it took us 2 hrs to get there! They departed from sunshine coast and we departed from home, it was terribly late when we left home this morning, but we finally got there on time, even a bit earlier than their family. HaHa~ actually there’s an episode behind: 

This morning we left indooroopilly at 10:50am (30mins later than the planned time), it seemed to be impossible to catch the train at 11:15am in south Brisbane station. I was so anxious because we would be late for 1 hr to get to scarborough boat harbour if we missed the train.

but……. 

Something interesting happened! The bus 444, which usually stops at cultural centre, didn’t cross the bridge to the cultural centre today, but headed to city directly from north quay (this was the first ever ‘weird’ 444 that I had experienced). I was so frustrated at that moment since we hardly had time to go back to south Brisbane station. But a thought came out from my mind when I felt hopeless: “Does God know that we won’t catch the train at southbank if we get off at cultural centre, and trying to ask us to use another train station?”  Then we rush straightaway to the central station! Guess what?! The train to shorndiffe from southbank which passed the central station was just about to leave when we reached the platform. We got into the train finally!!!  

Just wanna share what I learnt today: things as small as the ‘train issue’ today, or as big as our future, are all in God’s hands, which set by his own timing. My dear friends! Dare to trust in him! Because his timing is always accurate!!! 

By the way, our two families had a wonderful trip today. (Naturally beautiful scenery along the way + Yummy seafood :-p)
