"I need you like water, like breath, like rain...." (I Need You by Leann Rimes)

Qns: how much is my need of God?

My ans: (ponder awhile) .... alot. alot. alot. alot.
juz as how badly i will need water, oxygen & food to survive physically..my spiritual being need God to survive.

after sat's svc, i started to ponder abt what can i fast on. i really wanna increase my hunger and desperateness for God esp during this holis. its true. if i can have self control over food, i am sure other areas i can have a better discipline too.

ok... so aft thinking thru i've decided. i'm gonna be a vege gal! haha.

alright, since the nxt 2 wks gonna embark on the camp devotion, i will stop my Fruit of the Spirit theme for prayer and learning.

gonna share abt what i learnt from the camp devotion & wanna learn to apply too! ;)

Psalm 27

4 One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

YESSS! i wrote down on the devotion bklet that i wanna will ONE thing & that is: God! i want so much so much more of God's presence in my life.

14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

human beings hate to wait. isnt it? haha. i asked God to remind me to see it in another angle: waiting upon the lord= exercising faith. God is nv late.

will take the next 2 wks to ponder and think abt the qns shirls ask during clm ;) when i got the ans, i will be clear & convicted of what i am doing nw.


ok gtg! tml gotta wake up early. gonna start the 3 days training for mac call centre!



**regina and bishan, we finally got to meet and sing our hearts out! next time lets go eat nice food k?! haha. regina, see ya at ya bdae party ;p catch up w u gals again! ;)

#LOVE

1 cor 13:13

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
i guess v13 sums the whole of chap 13 well. the greatest is still...love. i dunno how to describe more w words abt this verse but i guess, the verse speaks for itself ;)

My Prayer:
"hah..God, today my patience was tested. hahah which reminds me of yesterday wat i learnt. when u love someone, u will be patient with them!ok i noe i need to grow. help me to be sensitive to love others esp people who are close to me cos i do not want to take them for granted. let me walk in faith, hope in you and love greatly. in your name i pray, amen!"

#LOVE

(Day 3)

1 cor 13:4-8 (NIV)

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails.

love is so beautifully depict in verse 4-8.

when we love someone, we will be patient with them
when we love, we hope for the best of others. love is not self-centered.
love teaches us to forgive.
love gives protection, trust, hope and it always persevere.
love is unconditional.
love will never fails.

this is true love.

have i love?

my prayer:

" Jesus, today its juz a simple prayer from my heart: help me to love others like how u loved them.amen ;) "

#1 Love
(day 2)

yeah came back from aj cg and dinner with zhiwei. really glad to see more j1s in the cg and we prayed for the two new b (yun yang & yuan tat). praying that they will continue to experience God in a tangible manner. the cg celebrated boey's bdae too! our mr vampire. yea and we prayed together w him that he will have a sheep asap.
dinner w zhiwei was filliing! hahaa we both feel so bloated after dinner and we had to chase our buses w our bloated stomach! :( but oh well, at least we manage to catch the buses home.
anyway, i love chen chen! i appreciate how she makes effort to be creative and gently evaluate me. thats how we can grow too isnt it? we all need constructive feedbacks!

i am looking forward to grow in God with you and our relationship too ;)

alright, decided for the next few days, i will explore more on 1 cor 13, passage abt Love. so here's today's part:


1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 (NIV)
Love

1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 (The message)
The Way of Love

1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

actions without love is dead, nothing, meaningless. the verses make me question my actions. when i do certain things, do i do it out of duty or out of genuine love?

no matter how powerful or how "spiritual" the things we do, but we do not love, its nothing.

i love the way The Message version said abt the last few lines of verse 3: "no matter what i say, what i believe, and what i do, i'm bankrupt without love"

My Prayer:
"God, in all things i do, let me do it with love. not out of obligation but sincere love. so that it will not be amount to nth. but when my actions are accompained w love, something good will turn out! thanx for reminding me this simple but yet impt truth. gd nite God! "

**yea tml am going down for interview for the mac delivery call centre job. hope will turn out well ;)

Holidays.

finally back to blogging!. exam was ok ;) hope everything will go well. alright, my holis will end after june. july will be the start of the new semster. shall maximise my time ;p

pics taken during several mugging sessions!

today, i finally gotta rest ;) i enjoy having time for myself too. i like having a day off to do things in a unrush manner.

i was think how i can make my prayer life more interesting. and an idea came! i gonna start w having a theme per according to the fruit of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control)

this wk theme is:


Matthew 22:37-49

(NIV)

37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[a] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b]

(The message)

Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.'

(Contemporary English Version)

Jesus answered:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. 38This is the first and most important commandment. 39The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, "Love others as much as you love yourself."


What does it mean to love God?

we need to know God. as the verse says, love God w ur passion, prayer and intelligence. love is not blind! (not what the dramas teaches us) u need to know who u are loving , what is so worthy for this love. love is a devotion (Devotion is an intense love and steadfast, enduring loyalty to a person). to love is to give your all.

What does it mean to love myself?

Love others as much as you love yaself. be4 u can learn to love others, we need to learn to love ourself. its not those kind of self-centred love on ourself. loving ourself means to appreciate how God has created us to be, knowing that we are not lousy, we do have our shortcomings, we are imperfect but we do have our strength too! learning to love yaself is impt. if we cant even appreciate & love the way we are created, how can we love others?

wow, its interesting to find out more abt the Word. i learnt smth today!

my prayer:

"God, help me to learn to love myself as how u've loved and created me. times i feel lousy abt myself, may you remind me of ya love; that i am beautifully and wonderfully made ;). God, also help me to love you and obey you each day. so that in return i can love others more too. in ya name i pray, amen"

ok gotta go...will try to blog my learnings as often as possible ;)

**mac delivery call center, hire me k?!! haha. gonna call them up tml. hope i can work there!! ;p
