For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a wittness in the silences
Where words are not enough

With every breath I take
I'll give thanks to God above
For as i long i shall
I will testify to love


Nice. Went for morning prayer again today. i think the dynamics of morning prayer is expanding.. with the many ppl coming. For me, its esp the youth that touches my heart. Truely the whole atmosphere changes when a group of passionate youths come before God.

Really think I'm getting blur-er. Like how arh? ARGHHHHHH..

Thinking back on this morning.. its pretty cool how God shows up. How? How? How?
Because He is. Because He is. Because He is the great I AM.

Raging. Sweeping. Tempest. Rushing. Towering. Overpowering. Mist. Clouded. Twirling. Kneeling. Crying. Looking.

He is the great I AM. I don't know how. I don't know why. But He IS the great I AM.
Amen.

His name is exalted, far above the earth
His name is high above the heavens
His name is exalted, far above the earth
Give glory and honor and praise
Unto His name

No other name but the name of Jesus
No other name but the name of the Lord
No other name but the name of Jesus
Is worthy of glory and worthy of honor
And worthy of power and all praise


Went morning prayer today. Woke up pretty early.. by the grace of God. Haha.. today my prayer focus like totally changed. Actually, going to morning prayer.. i don't really know what to pray for. But i love to go. And God always bring stuff back to me to pray for.

Today.. i prayed for people. As in just pray for them loh.. never go to them. And i totally like just lie on the floor with my hands behind my hand kinda thing.. and talked to God. Feels good.

God is good amen? We went for breakfast at Bukit Timah.. beside my old school!! The food there is just excellent. Uncle Boyle just kept stuffing food down our throats. Hahah.. the adults all think we should eat more then what we are eating now. I eat until my stomach expanded. Hopefully will revert.

Been seeing God's providence.. Thank You God.. Truly no other name. No other name.

Okay... so all the old songs are coming back to me. Though that da ge was commenting about how uncle george always plays old songs like," Jesus You're my firm foundation..".. I still think some old songs are really nice and if done properly.. can be really really nice.. or nicer in some cases..

A very very good example is my ultimate ou xiang---- Not elvin though.. SHIRLEY SIM!!! She is soooooooooooooo good!!

The way she did "To Him who sits on the throne, and unto the Lamb..." and "You are God, and we praise You..." was like........ HEAVENLY!!!!!

God gives us all a different talent.. And all of it helps grow his kingdom. This was what i saw this morning. I saw individuality in the sanctuary.. but it was merged as one. The sight was really nice. Individuality merged as one.. weaved as one.. forged as one. One for God. One for the kingdom. One for His glory.

Let us be one for Him..And one with Him..
Amen.

You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Oh blessed be the name...

And i dunno the lyrics already. Today. WOW. God blows my mind.

Okay.. I don't know where to start. Guess i should say what was the most impacting thing for me today.

It was when we had to look back at this year, during worship ministry party, and think bout wad God has done.I looked back on this year.. and i saw a real big change. It wasn't easy.. the change didn't come by easy. The tears.. the e-mails.. the painful decisions.. the embarressing choices.. the prayers.. the promises.

So much i went through. So much ppl around me went thru. One very obvious and good example is my da ge. He went thru alot of me.. before the breakthru came. my chief is another good example. She went thru alot of icq msges. Both spent alot alot alot alot of time on me.. many of these times they actually wasted their energy..

But it all paid off. I look at my life now.. and i get freaked out.. WOW. I dun even believe sometimes its me. GOD did all the planning. The 'pot' had to go thru fire to be hardened and able to use. GOD used them to change me.. Seriously.. i don't dare to believe wad i am now is me.

GOD has done so much for me.. and this year has been such a testing and exciting year.. I'm thankful. ALL GLORY TO GOD. Though there's stil alot more to go.. GOD HAS BEEN, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE, GOOD AND GOD.
Amen.

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh what a foretaste, Of Glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.


This is my story
This is my song
Praising my Savior
All the day long


This song has been in my head for like few days now.Suddenly all the old songs coming back to me.

Went for morning prayer today.. wow.. after so long.. it sure feels weird abit. More or less the ppl coming are the same.. with a few additions and a few subtractions.

Today.. I prayed for et. Nope.. not esther tan.. but east timor. Was reading her blog just and i understand what she means abit.

As i was praying.. i thought i would be praying like.. a singaporean kind of prayer.. as in.. since-i'm-not-there-anymore..I-wouldn't-be-as-moved-as-i-was-in-east-timor kind of thing. BUT i was so over taken by the feelings i got as i prayed.

Literally its like being there and praying and feeling the burden so real and its like east timor ground is under your feet and the east timor air is blowing in your face and the locals are just in front of you. The prayer was as emotional as when i was in east timor.. if not more emotional.

Definately not something i expected.

Not trying to lament again that i miss east timor.. But I'm shocked at how i could still pray so emotionally for that place despite being back for like 1 over week now. And i know its not me. Its God. Oh kay.. I also have to admit that I'm shocked at how NOT-shocked i was still being so emotional. I really have no words to describe.. don't know how to put into words.

As i prayed for timor.. once again my problems seemed so distant and small and i felt so close to timor. Like said.. i felt as though i was in east timor itself. And i understand abit bout the outward looking part. As i closed my eyes and saw east timor before me.. all my problems were......." Where art thou?? where art thou problems of the one called desmonde..?

God uses east timor to show me that my problems don't matter as much as God's work, as God's glory, as GOD does. Not our petty problems.I'm not saying they are not real.. but He's God. He solves stuff. Let God be God.

It's ALL about Him.
Amen.

If there's anything that 'wow's me today.. it has to be this..
anyways..Blessed Christmas!! to my dear readers.

Okay.. this is it.. Our drama.. Sharon all along was alittle stiff for her role-- the crying role. If i should even put it like that.. she was restrained.. All along. In the rehearsals and practices, she was very stiff. And you could see she was trying very very hard, but she just couldn't get it.

But today, she gave a superb performance. So much emotion that we in the props (nursery) room were so shocked. When she came in she cried, " Do you know God was with me?!?!" Crying crying crying.. And i was totally caught off guard.

"Do you know God was with me?"

WOW.To me, it was like God just took control and taught her on the spot. And i believe she must have prayed so much and she must have been so broken before Him that He took over and said, "Daughter.. I'll be in control." And at that moment, I felt that today is one day where she touched the hands of the Almighty.. and this day will be a day she will not forget.I feel she cried because she was so shocked that God could use her. The first words she said when she came in still gives me goosebumps. It was NOT " Thank God I did it well!!!!!"... BUT "Do you know God is with me!?!!?!"

"Do you know God is with me?"

I saw how sad she looked when she couldn't get it and i know she must have cried to Him, She must have cried to Him saying, " I don't know what to do, but i choose to do still because I love you. Because you loved me."

For me personally,I want to be broken before Him. I want to place my all on the altar. I want to say,"God i have not much, but what i have whether or not i know what it is, i want to give You so You can use and You will magnify it..... ALL.. for Your glory."

For all those lost, unsure, uncertain, hurting, questioning and crying ppl...
"Do you know God is with you?"
Amen.

I'm really starting not to understand already..

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness oh Lord
Great is Thy faithfulness

I'm back. Since like one week ago.

Very very lazy to update.. think most of us are really burnt out from blogging.. no new entries whatsoever.. Frankly speaking.. I'm alittle too tired sometimes to go read.

Anyways, east timor was more than good. It was more than very good. It was more than that too..

I miss east timor. Dreadfully. But of coz the times here in sg were exciting for some of our friends as well. Really glad that the youths are so excited... man.. never seen them like this before.

Can a nation be moved?
Can a nation be saved?
Can a nation be turned back to You?

Can it be turned, back to You?


Haha.. Im sorry. I'm just like.. trying to relive the times in east timor. The prayers at the Jesus Statue.. so many other times.. the times we were having fun..(beach), the times we slogged (fun fair).. the times we just lazed around. Our debrief times.. Our lazing around times, Our journaling times, our washing up times. The times we were just playing around. Our times.

Think God gave out his instructions out there.. all anew and afresh. I'm still expecting. Expecting Him move however He did there, here... and better..

I'm expecting, excited.. and expecting here does NOT mean pregnant!! Unless you mean with a whole new passion and expectancy of God..

East Timor......... Be blessed, Be loved.
Team mates...... I love you guys.. alot alot alot.
God................... Don't ever think I'm done with You or vice versa. I need You soooo much..breath on me.

WOAH. God is Good.

Youth camp. Evryone is updating.. it'll be malu-ing if the blogger freak doesn't update too.

It was awesome.. I know God moved. Throughout everynite-everyday-every session.I don't know where to begin.

I went camp with a really really despo enthu heart. Its one of the first youth camps that i looked forward to. I expected so much.. i prayed for everyone and myself.. Just kept praying for God to move. No credit to me.. but God did move. So many of us can testify.

For me.. camp was okay. I had great team members-- not too wild, but enthu enough. I had duties.. 3. None of which were carried out completely. Although all of which i worried for.

This camp..if i dare to say.. was one of the most testing and breaking camp i've had.
And also the best.I didn't get a break thru as i expected in camp. No big revelation.. heard a voice which i don't even know if its God. Funnily the Bible says, "His sheep know His voice...."

But i knew God moved. I saw it. Thru others.. thru how every session took place... especially the last night. And thru Joel.. like my dai kor says.

This camp.. again God made me feel stuff bout others.. I duno if its God lah.. maybe its just me.. but.. there was one sessin i prayed for someone.. and i just felt his pain and hurting.. and i was crying.. I dunno if its him or me.. but i really didn't have a need to cry lah.. not at tt point at least. Just like the previous camp where i only heard for others.. not for me.

But i was sooo bitter when i went to the previous camp.. and i got my break thru at the last day. This year's camp.. i went with such an expectant heart.. But up till the last session.. I didn't.I felt so lost. Somehow i would miss part of the sessions or miss out on this or that.. till the point i was so fustrated. I just forced myself to try to focus.. to try not to say negative things.. to work myself like mad so i wouldn't have to think of why God seemed to skip me again.

I wanted to ask ppl to pray for me.. but.. then i realised if i did.. then i would be looking to man. Not God. I didn't go with baggages.. but i took up some as camp went on. ARGHHHHH!!!! But God still has everything in His hands. I thank God for making elvin so busy. Not tt I want him to be so busy.. but rather.. Becoz he was sooo busy.. He didn't have time to talk with me.. and i had no choice but to run directly to God. God is good isn't it?

I did so many stooopid things.

I did get part of my confirmation though. I really don't know how to say... there's just sooooo much. I guess i should say.. I saw God move in others.. maybe at times He used me to facilitate His moving in others.. But somehow.. PERSONAlly..for me personally..like not much.

Thruout the camp.. i didn't knwo to laugh or cry.. I mean.. it was like i was stille xpectant tt God would do the same thing as He did for me the prev camp.. make me kan chiong until the last session till He blows my mind away. But this camp He didn't.

I got part of my confirmatn as i said-- its something tt i didn't really expect.
I was crazy for God-- Coz i know He rules.

Okay.. i know Im being v negative here.. but seriously.. camp was good.. in every aspect.. games.sessions.

But it was really difficult for me.The last session i took out my name tag card (with the words camp committee printed in red on it, strangely) and just slotted in my bible-- randomly.. It was already the last session, prize giving.

Then we went back... i felt partly filled.And i was contemplating going to esther house.. which in the end i did.

Cut the story short... When esther and esther were not jacuzzing.. and joel was reading his prize for the best dressed. SUDDENLY.. as in literally SUDDENLY I rmbed my namecard and the slot.. so I decided I would read.. half hoping it would speak to me. And it was about Daniel and the messenger and the prince of persia that one.. (Dan Chap 1o.)

That immediately spoke to me about persisting. And at tt pt of time i was also brought back to during the camp when God reminded me about the persisting woman with the issue of blood. And somehow.. i still don't know.. but i guess.. God's training me to be patient.. to be silent.. and also somehow confirms wad i asked.

Abit confusing i know.. hahaha.. sorry.. But.. ask me in person pls. Easier to explain the goodness of God in this camp.. though in a way that is so different from the others. Anyone.. have anythign to say please leave notes.. coz Im still open and expecting that thru persisting.. Thru the grace of God.. Thru His love.. I will get wad i wanted--- Direction and confirmation.

AMEN.

At first we were like bored bored one.. everyone tired already..but we realise 20% discount. Hahaha.. we went in also abit cautious. However, when we tried our first shirt, this salesgirl was really good man.. She doesn't look like lah.. but she was so friednly.. she totally hyped us up. That was the climax of the trip man.. we were NUTS..

Just trying shirt after shirt after shirt.. and she's commenting about us.. ahhah.. there were 3 dressing rooms.. the 4 of us just hogged it. And we kept swapping shirts to try.. the P3 lah.. and the different sizez and all.. We even took a photo in front of everyone and when we hadn't paid for our shirt.. hahah... good thing we bought it in the end.

Well... the salegirl left for lunch.. the other ppl not as nice.. anyways.. we have similar shirts! hahah.. okay that was fri.. we rushed back to my home for divisional meeting.. then i rushed out after to stay over.. So cool!! Can i stay over again?!?!

Well... today sunday.. i was small gp. hahah.. so cool.. su linn Gp. Hahah.. pretty fun. Wah.. busy day. Climax was at afternoon.. like 4 ppl talking to me at the same time. I was pretty mean lah.. every time i get irritated my mouth becomes motormouth.. start with my sacarstic remarks. Very bad.. still can't control tt well.

Anywas.. we went estehr foong's house after tt to watch vcd.. so cool. I love it.. the passion. Man.. God.. blow us away in camp!!! Anyways.. after tt we all napped--girls in esther foong's room and john and i in living room. Though i didn't get much sleep. Terrible headache.. hahah..

Anyways.. i was in pretty terrible state. I was highly irritatable.. with myself.. Dinner was okay.. hahaha.. alot more lah.. but then too much to type.. summary? God is GOOD. You better believe it.. you better expect. Camp's going to be awesome.

....As they sailed he fell asleep.A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.....He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm....

...A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped..... He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!".Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.....

.....Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat....He replied," You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves and it was completely calm....

Be still. Be still. Be still.

For those of you worrying out there. Be still.

For those of you questioning out there. Be still.

For those of you that are all drained out. Be still.

For those of you weeping, crying, tearing out there. Be still.

For those of you busy in your work. Be still.

Be still and know that I am God.

Amen.

Yes.. yes.. i realised that somehow alot of these words can be seen in my da ge's blog.Arghh.. I'm really not trying to copyright. But.. i was.. asking God just now. What do i do? And He brought me to this passage. I didn't realise that it was so similar to the da ge's blog until i went over to read. I'm not trying to poach customers. But..its Godly timing is it? Hahah. more like conincidence.But nevertheless... its time i be still.

Tah DAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Another entry..

I'm writing this in the midst of my study break. Woke up today ready to go to sch, and i checked my entryproof before leaving the house. Not something that i always do.. but thank God!!! Because i realised my paper in the afternoon.. God is SOOOOO good... so i could sleep to 8.3o, then study till 10. (Now's 10.25am). And i finished highlighting my whole chap. BIG chap!! hahahah..

Well.. I shall resume my studying in awhile; tighten up my chaps abit!!

Okay.. this 4 days? God has simply blown my mind away. I'm telling you.. He is so good i can't stand it!!! ahahah...NO.. i mean...ARGHHHHHH.. GOD YOU ARE AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!

hahah... well on fri we had combined net with eric. I was supposed to do praise and esther tan worship.. but eric started with this really 'worship' tune. I didn't know how to start my praise.. so i went.."erm..we'll pray before we start!! Daniel pray!!".

Hahah.. so daniel prays this really 'worship' kind of prayer.. and wow!! after the prayer we decide that we should just go into worship. Saves me the trouble. Well.. God kept speaking and impressing stuff on our hearts.. and daniel and esther both just prayed and spoke what they felt God was saying. And it was awesome!!!!!

God showed up.And the gist of it was.. he's re-focusing us. He's bringing us back to the basics.. that was what he kept nudging me about the whole week. Even at the edge.. "REFOCUS REFOCUS. GOD SHOULD BE FIRST GOD SHOULD BE FIRST".

Not strange we have all the ppl speaking of true worship. Joy, Elvin, Jason,other different ones.. True worship!! God's wanting to bring us back. He's calling us back. Its as if He's saying," I have need for vessels who would be set apart to be holy. For i deserve all worship."

For if we DON't give Him our worship, the rocks would cry out!!! Because He deserves it. Because He deserves it. Because its what we have to do.Because its what we need to do.

AMEN.

Okay.. going back to my geog.. continue praying for me ppl.. I have papers till wed. The other O students have until fri. Pray for them too. Jen and Dage also have exams pray for them too!! Esther wong too.

AMEN!

FINALLY!!!!!!! I can blog. Have been waiting all day!! Hahaha.. crazy right me? Oh well.. let's just move on..shhh.. don't tell ppl okay? Its OUR secret.. you tell ppl i don't friend you.. and i call my friends not to friend you and i call my friends' friends not to friend you.

hahaha.. get what i mean when i say i'm crazy? Okay.. come.. let's seriously go on.

Yah...OH!! YAH!! my dreams.. okay. you have to understand my dreams to me are very very real.. when i wake up.. i will remain in them for awhile.. like the last time i dreamt someone scolded me.. i woke up feeling so sad.. and i was trying to rmb why, and i realised because it happened in my dream. Something like that lah..don't know whether its normal..do you guys feel the same way? then maybe its not only me. hahaha..

Also, my dreams come in episodes.Like on mon i will dream of this. And on tue i will dream of the same thing, but in the dream, its another day in the same place.And i almost always have dreams. Very tiring.

Then my dreams are mostly bout about shopping centres, big buildings and me walking about in them. But my places will look more big and magnificient. For example, cck will look different and bigger and niccer, but i will KNOW it is cck building.

Haha.. and they are normally the same ppl in my dream.. my dinner kah kia. Always see them.Hahah.. opps. SIDETRACK. Okay, wanted to say my dream on wed was like.. ahhah. commical. I had a horse!!! And esther tan.. you have one too!! Hahah.. yours belongs to someone esle.. he lent you. Can't rmb who. think da ge.

Anyways.. we were eating in JE, then we had to leave for interchange. So i get my horse( Which btw was a present from the producers of LOTR, after their filming.) and i ride to interchange before the rest of the ppl-- dage, esther, joel, a few more..

And i CAN"T steer the poor horse!!!So i keep bumping his head into walls, signboards, the MRT column pillar!!!So poor thing.. ( because i don't play daytona!!!).

So as im riding, i meet joash who shouts to Jonathan that his bday party is still on. And i rmb (from the prev dream episode) that there's this murderer killing us. and he only appears in places with alot of ppl, so jonathan don't want a party. A few ppl already died liao.. sad right?? ahhaha.. from our youth.Hahaha.. oh well.

Anyways.. i ride to the interchange and when i'm there, esther tan SAYS.. hey.. the murdererer is here!!So calmly.. and me? I ride off quickly.. thankful that the masked man cannot chase me as i'm on shadowfax, the fastest horse there is in middle earth. I hide for awhile.. before i wake up.. HAhaha... so silly.

There you have it.. my dream.. sorry so long.. next time i practise 160 words summary okay?Hahah.. sorry. And, esther.. you have a nice horse!!! but not as fast as mine lah.. hehehehhe..

God is good. So good. So very very good.

We cry holy holy holy
We cry holy holy holy
We cry holy holy holy
Is the lamb.


Went morn prayer!! Yay yay yay!! Want to go tmr again.. though pls don't scold me.. i know i need to study-- Eric Loh's good at the reminding part. Sighz.. sometimes i don't know if i'm being silly...

Okay.. Anyways.. God is good. God IS good. Morning prayer blew my mind away.. the things he reveals.. hmmm.. man.Somehow.. i wonder if we have defiled God's idea of worship. I wonder if we have perverted His holiness. I wonder if we have destroyed his courts when we enter so blatantly. Its by grace that we enter.. have we forgotten? We pollute it with our self righteousness and pride.. we neglect the fact that we are NOTHING before the Most High.. and it was because He first chose us that we are given this special privilege.We come in so casually we forget we are meeting a King... OUR King. I'm guilty of that God.

Argh.. God!! Okay okay.. i have 4 more days.. 4 more days of exams.. which means.. 1 more week counting the breaks!! Praise God!! He has sustained me.. so long and will continue to do so. Sighz.. man God.. You are so awesome.. what to say?

Chem's on fri.I have today and tmr to study. Please pray ppl!! My chem's not very good!! But my God IS!!

Hahah.. yah.. SO (sorry sidetrack).. we went Mac's to eat after prayer!! Not really filling lei.. wanted to eat somemore.. but they all want to go home. Hahaha.. but i no money also.. have lah.. but.. must save for tmr!! hahah.. I dunno where all the cash fly to leh!! I'm hardly ever broke one.. that's why jason and da ge always say i rich!!! Arh arh arh.. whatever.......i wish i was too!! arh.. the spoils of being rich and wealthy..imagine the amount of burgers i could buy!! Then i can cab to morning prayer!! And i can .. wad can i do?? I can.. opps.. haha.. pay tithes!!

" It's an addiction!!!", cried the child, as he say crossed-legged in the forts of his maroon-coloured chair. The persistant cryings of the television barked into his ears, but he was oblivious to it.

His insistent manner was evident. It was visible and obvious. Then he paused, quietened down, and leaned back, finding respite in the noises that rose around him. How? one might ask. It was because they had simmered down to but repeated nudges to his imagination-- he was ignorant to their assending bellowing and instead took them as part and parcel of his little neighbourhood.

He rode upon the noises, letting loose his wild thoughts; It was an addiction..He finally decided. Desmond finally decided.

Its an addiction to blogging every 2 days, very naturally, not on purpose one!!!!!!!! Hahahahhahah... heheh.. sorry.. i don't think its an addiction actually lah... today's post is practising for english paper tmr. I'm worried abit loh.. cause esther says my compo is like...wah.. hahaha..horizontal straight line graph with decreasing gradient. In english.. it means.. boring.. And she's not the first. Hahah.. I agree lah.. its quite bad. Even my teacher says my stories are too neat and predictable.

Help ME!!! God!!!! Hahahha.. okay.. sister tan also says my entries too long. Okay loh.. i try to cut short. But i can't restrain myself.

Seriously.. anyone has tips? Da ge? Please call me or leave notes. Or do something.. panic panic panic.. hahah.. not really lah.Just want to add spice into my compo. Clover, pepper. Whatever! (Rhymed right? Man..i'm good. OKAY maybe not..hahaha)

Back to studying the educatations of socialitities. Hahha.. have such word?? Aiyah.. it simply means Social Studies.
PRAY PPL PRAY..

THE JOY OF THE LORD

You gave me Joy that's unspeakable
And I like it...

Hahaha. newsboys.. very cartoon song.. but.. God's joy is unspeakable.. It is something that is reflected off our lives, our actions, our entire being.

Okay lah.. tell you the truth.. didn't prepare anything to say.Hehe.. so hor.. those who waited in anticipation for this short simple message..(I am trying to have faith to believe ppl are anxiously awaiting it).. going to be disapointed loh.sorry..

I just came back from wedding, didn't intend to blog at all.. because.. yes.. to that extent jennifer was right.. lazy.. OEI.. but at least i update pretty frequetly leh.. amuse you ppl with my silly antics.But then i rmbed its the end of the week already.. must bring my offering of JOY to you guys.

Hahahah.. cham lah.. nothing to say bout joy of the Lord.No bible references.
But the bible says The Joy of the Lord is our strength. Why so? To me lah.. i tink its because.. We know that.. yah lah.. trials, battles, failures, dissappointments, discouragements, hurts and the like..though they may be real,But we have Someone who is in control. That's how we remain joyful.. and creates a chain effect.

We feel down----> But we know He is in control---->We are joyful not in our problems, but in DADDY up there---> We go on because we know all things work for good for those who love Him. ALL things.

I'm a very unstable person.. as in i can have alot of emotions at one go..this week is good example. But one thing that BOSS reminded me is that.. Joy IN the Lord is where my strength's gonna come from.

Like I said before.. we don't deny our problems.We admit them. Faith is NOT positive thinking hello? Nope.. arh arh.. NAh.. NOT.. It is admiting the problem, but in spite of that believing that God's going to work it out for the best.

One thing we also have to realise is that.. What are we fighting for? Be reminded that our goal on this earth is for SOULS.. Once we lose focus.. when things go wrong.. very likely we can't remain joyful.. because somehow, they are not even stuff that God wants us to mainly battle for.

ARH.. sudden stroke of genius again.Opps.. lost it. Wait.. wait..
Oh... when our PRIMARY aim in doing stuff is not for God's glory, when we fail.. we become dissappointed in ourselves.And we lose joy because we are human.. its difficult for us to give ourselves another chance.

But when we do stuff PRIMARYLY for Him, when we fail.. we don't lose that joy.. because He is a God of UNENDING CHANCES. Not saying that we abuse this unceasing supply of 2nd chances.. but.. when we've done our best, and we fail still.. we know we haven't failed God.

Actually. i don't know what I'm saying. coz abit the sleepy..Think what I'm driving at is..Joy IN the Lord gives us strength to go wrong.Its a JOY that remains strong and steady even in times of difficulty.So be happy ppl!! God is GOOD.. God is AWESOMELY GOOD!!

Okay.. my time of difficulty arises.. Os..new mission..DESTRUCTO O'sO..Please pray for me.I need lots of prayer.. thank you guys!!

The joy of the Lord is my strength x4.
AMEN.
