My Prayer

Father God,

Teach me how to love?

You Answer

It's so easy to forget You are there even when

You tell me time and time again.

Forgive me.

Thank you for reminding me again

that I am not forgotten.

I can't wait to open the lovely parcel!

No More

I left it at the altar

and I'm not taking it back.

Hope in You

Romans 5

³ Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings,

because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

⁴ perseverance, character; and character, hope.

⁵ And hope does not put us to shame,

because God’s love has been poured out

into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,

who has been given to us.

I will persevere.

Trust His Heart

A little something that encouraged me today.
Below is the lyrics from the song Trust His Heart.
I hope it will encourage you too!

All things work for our good
Though sometimes we can't
See how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see him,
Remember He's still on the throne

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When don't see his plan
When you can't trace his hand
Trust His Heart

He sees the master plan
He holds the future in his hand,
Don't live as those who have no hope,
While our hope is found in him.
We see the present clearly
But he sees the first and last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me,
To someday be just like him

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you

When you can't trace his hand
When you don't see his plan
When you don't understand
Trust His Heart

Numbers 23:19:

“God is not man, one given to lies, and not a son of man changing his mind.
Does he speak and not do what he says? Does he promise and not come through?”

The Book Written by You

Here it is, the last day of the year 2011.
I look back into the pages of all that has happened
and the words that fill it just amazes me.

It's hard to believe how long ago some things has gone by
yet they stay so fresh in my mind;
while others seem so far gone and distant
but they came along not too long ago.

Reading those pages brings back so many feelings.
Feelings of excitement and joy brought by fond memories
and also a sense of lost and sadness to all I had to say goodbye to.

Some pages I have left blank because they were unimportant days
or at least I never did anything special on those days.
Then some were left blank because they are too painful to write
during those days but I filled some of them in again today.

When I look at these pages, I truly see God's hand writing in them.
They were all my choices but He was there everyday.
I would never have been able to stand here and smile
if it wasn't for God's grace and I mean it.
I am able because He is able.

Honestly, I am pretty scared to say this but
I know that I wont have it any other way
because He always gives me His best.

So, God would you please surprise me once again in 2012?


:)


Goodbye, 2011!


Psalm 139:16
In your book were written all the days
that were formed for me,
when none of them as yet existed.

Just Look Around You

Snapped this during my walk with stitch :)


God is my shepherd.
I won't be wanting.

Never too far

H o p e


is


never light years away.

It's Your Love

All things may fail around me

but

You are faithful.

Thank you for showing me the beauty of your creation.

It's impossible not to smile when I see how amazing every tree, every cloud, every wave surrounding me. How can I not be thankful that the same Creator created me? Even when I feel like nothing is going right, I know deep down you make all things right. Even when I don't understand, I know you hold the answer. Today, I remember Your Love once again.

Tell me

How many times have I failed you?

Keep my heart

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord.

To see the truth where there is uncertainty.

Many voices are all around but

where is your small still voice?

I will wait here.

I'll fix my eyes on You

Only You.

You care.

Water you turned into wine

Open the eyes of the blind

there's no one like you, none like You!

Into the darkness you shine

Out of the ashes we rise

there's no one like you, none like You!

Our God is greater

Our God is stronger

God you are higher than any other

Our God is Healer

Awesome in Power

Our God, Our God

And if our God is for us

then who could ever stop us?

And if our God is with us

then what could stand against?

I stand amaze! You care so much that you would tell it to me 3 times in 4 days.

How could I ignore it? You really hit it out of the park for me this time.

Thank you for telling me You are with me and You care!

I know I can live each day to its best because of that.

note: You spoke Jeremiah 29:11 to me 4 times in 5days :) in awe.

27 October 2011

Today marks the day of a choice.

It marks the day of surrender.

God, teach me how to live with this 1 month you have given me

What do You want me to do?

Surprise me.

You always do :)

Let's start today!

Now I Stand

Therefore, having been justified by faith,

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom also we have access by faith
into this grace in which we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations,
knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
and perseverance, character;
and character, hope.

Have Your Way

There is always a point in life in which you know
that all that has and can be done, is already done.
How I wish I could control and fix everything instantly.
Tempted as much as I am, this time, I shall not.

Oh God.
It's time to take over once again.
It is time You have Your way in me.


My whole life is Yours
I give it all
Surrendered to Your Name
And forever I will pray
Have Your way

To Where You Are

Feels like your world's crashing down
and solid ground is hard to be felt
It feels like the walls are closing
And then night has fallen and the sun is gone
Your heart is dry, you need some time to find God

Come on, come on, Lift your eyes up
Lift your eyes up to the hills

Even in the testing fire
God supplies every need in your life
And He'll come like the morning star
and wipe away your hurts, fears
And the dark will fall and the light will shine
It's all alright with God here

Here the sun it will shine, it's a holiday
It's a brighter day for you.

Here I am, back at the same point I was.
It's funny that it almost feels like deja vu.
The feeling of uncertainty, yet ready to
embrace whatever that comes my way.

I don't know where we are going from here,
but I know that we will be going to the way
where He wants us to go.
It does not matter which path is taken
as long as we see Him there at the end.

I am finally ready to let go of everything,
every last thing I can hold on to,
and hold on to the only One that
never lets go of me.
I am ready to accept what you will place before me.



Jesus, please take over once again.

Hey, Soul Sister!

mm hmm . . .

Hello there,

It has been some time since I wrote anything here :)
So here I am, half way through my finals.

It has been good so far and I am thankful for it.
All praise to God!
I thank Him for His peace that guards my heart.
I know it can be anything else but Him
because there is no way Vic Kie can be this chilled!

It has been around 4 months or more since I was last home.
Sometimes I feel like I am placed here all alone
with nothing to hold on to.
I can't pretend that it is easy and
on some days it just feels impossible.

But now I know I could depend on nothing,
nothing but Jesus.
I'm quite sure there was no other way that
I would have learned to depend on Him only.

So, I shall be thankful for today and the days ahead.
That He is always here, never letting me go.
Oh yes, I have to thank him for my amazing flatmates too,
whom never fails to make my day.


p/s : Nothing smells better than cake fresh from the oven.
Thank you for the little surprises!


*hums hey, soul sister*


Thank you to those whom have been supporting me with
so much encouraging words during this time.
You are all God-sent! :)

To Be Where You Are

Better is one day in your courts,
Better is one day in your house,
Than a thousand else where.

One thing I ask and I will seek,
To see Your beauty,
To find You in
The place where Your glory dwells.

Now am found

It makes my day,

when something lost is found!

How great, how joyful is the feeling when we find
that one thing we have been looking for!

After much searching for my black wool scarf,
there wasn't much choice left for me but to give up.
And at that precise moment when all hope was lost,
I saw a black object at the corner of the hall.
The excitement kept building up as each step I took,
till finally I had it in my own hands.
I knew at last I have found what was lost.

This is the second time this month that God has helped me
find the things I thought I would never be able to see again.
I knew the chances were unlikely but He always
prove to me that prayer work miracles.
And all that was needed was to trust in Him.

The joyous feeling of finding something is
undeniably remarkable.
I guess that is just a part of how God feels,
when we come running back into His loving arms!


:)


He does not only take care of the ones who love
Him but also the things that they care about.
He takes care of our biggest problems to
our smallest worries.
