Appreciation - Irene

Today, Irene was super random. She asked me out for lunch, at some ATAS place called Carpenter's and Cook! And since I've all the free time till service starts at 4.30pm. I said OKAY! :D

I've been friends with Irene since Primary 3!

We didn't experience a 'love at first sight'! 

We only started getting close on a personal level in Primary 6!

I still remembered how we cheated during HE paper in Primary 3 :P HAHA! It was a downright epic experience! I couldn't believe she so innocently *ahem* called me from the next seat and asked for the answer when the teacher walked out! LOL! And, I gave! LOL! Come to think of it, it's just funny. Who can imagine someone would cheat for HE paper?! *Children do not learn*

Thank you for allowing me to always feel comfortable when I'm around you (: I know I can truly be myself because you accept me for who I am; no matter how much I changed. Thank you for always listening to my stories and allowing our communication to be interactive instead of it being always me talking!

Please continue to just be yourself! :D

I'll always be keeping you in prayer and please don't hesitate to ask me to pray for you whether it's a big thing or a small thing that's happened in your life :D Hehe.

Flight

In the darkest days,
In the darkest nights,
There's a God up there
Filled with glorious light.

He fights with power
And makes a way,
For the brokenhearted
To see this faith.

Was weak, was hurt, was full of hate,
But the sovereign God says,
"Just you wait,
I'll turn your heart of stone to red,
So break down those walls
And in me take faith.

You think you're safe living in that cage,
But no, the devil will meddle with you head.

Bitterness will start to grow,
Inside those walls you call your own.
Then life will start to take its toll
With tiredness consuming your soul.

So my love break free
And release that hurt
And trust in me
For you will be healed.

For I sent my son to die for you,
So you won't remain feeling doomed.
He took your pain upon Himself,
And suffered for you without a grudge.

In God His Father, He obeyed,
And took upon the cross of pain,
Pain that's excruciating and filled with love,
For Jesus loves you,
So willingly He suffered.

But 3 days later He rose on high,
In glorious power, in glorious might.
For those who died with Him before,
Will throw their old self
And the new self they'll yearn.

The new self in Christ so full of joyful grace,
But grace will only be given,
If a decision is made to receive it by faith.

So humble yourself and lose that pride
And let me take you on a flight.
This flight you'll see my love for you,
It may seem unbelievable but it is true.

When tears of sorrow fall from your eyes,
Can you not at all hear my compassionate cry?

I know you're crushed,
I know you're wormed,
But just to let you know I will press on
And to let you know my true love for you.

So open your heart to take this flight of truth
And experience a miraculous breakthrough.
Come discover what I am,
For you I love
And I've got great things in store for you."

Written with love and grace and motivation by the Holy Spirit.

Change.

Anyone can change as long as the love of God overwhelms his heart.

He's gonna change! I am sure.

You watch! 8-D

It's been awhile since I had the conviction, motivation and discipline to keep someone in prayer like that.

Roughly a year ago. I was desperately crying out in prayer for someone else. Now, my prayer is a prayer full of faith and assurance!

God's gonna show me a miracle again!^^ Life is so exciting!

Spiritual warfare.

Early this morning, I experienced spiritual warfare!

Mom telling you dressing is important when you think it's not so! I mean how important is it?! SRSLY!

Sister took your ezlink card and you only realized it when you're on the bus!

Your broken hearted(for very long) friend coming to tell you in the morning some stuff that you don't approve of!

But I'm not gonna give in! I'm not gonna let all these affect the way I do things today! Hopefully :x

Maybe because I prayed a prayer yesterday! And I think it's taking effect!^^ it's all worth it! The devil's trying to go all out against me. But the devil is stupid! Bleah.

Heaven Is For Real

I just finished reading the book, "Heaven Is For Real". This title speaks the heart of the boy himself. He wants to let others know that heaven is for real. As simple as that. And I can't help but cry (literally) out to Jesus too. And after reading that book, I prayed and told Jesus, I want my family to know that heaven is for real too. But I don't know what to do. It pains me to see my loved ones going after the things of this world. It pains me to see my loved ones being spiritually blinded. And I hate the devil. If there's one thing you wanna hate in this world, then it's got to be the devil.

So what if you're a successful person in the eyes of this world, are you successful in the eyes of God?

I believe that heaven is for real. And that is the place where we will enjoy the fullness of His glory.

How long are we gonna stay here on earth? 70years? 90? 110years? You think that's a long life.

You have no idea what's long.

Knowing Jesus gives you a life of eternity.

And I am confident to say that, only Jesus proclaimed it, only He proclaimed that He can give eternal life.

Faith. Purpose. Suffering.

Today's SM fellowship got me thinking about how I've spent my holidays (:

In the beginning, I was struggling a bit with my purposes in life.

And God spoke to me through Prayerthon (: 

Knowing my purpose adds meaning to my life. I've learnt not to worry so much about my future and to focus on what is to be done now (: Because God has already written my life story. Although there may be parts of this story in which I'm not very willing to obey, but I know, at the end of the day, with obedience comes blessings! May these blessings be the smiles and delight of the LORD!

Through this holidays, I've also been reading books! Hehe. And 2 books which I've read are testimonies of 2 boys who went to heaven! Why should children lie right? 

Do not underestimate the mind of a child. A child can indeed see and understand certain things that skeptical adult minds can't. There is so much you can learn from children. Do not let pride stop you from seeing wisdom in children.

So through the 2 testimonies of these 2 boys, I was very encouraged by their child-like faith!

And! I also read 2 books about missions. These 2 books taught me about sufferings we will face as children of God.

So! I have summarized what I've learnt during this holidays!

Faith.

Purpose.

Sufferings.
