As this new semester begins, I find myself getting hit by obstacles after obstacles. Despite the first few challenges faced, I find God’s comfort in these friendship challenges. But truly to God’s grace, because of these cold wars, my friend was able to see God’s love through me. I really feel that I’ve made a difference in someone’s life! At least I didn’t just go through my poly years without impacting anyone. (:
Everything that I’ve gotten for the past semesters should be the past… I have to look forward and trust God.
“But forget all that – it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun. Do you not see it?” Isaiah 43: 18 & 19
Plus, God’s promises are my armour and shield! (:
“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulties, you will not drown…” Isaiah 43: 2
Every time when a new semester begins, I find myself picking up the pieces from the past semester. I begin to wonder what was it I did right for the previous semester to be able to get good grades. Somehow or another, the pieces of the puzzle start to form a picture and I am finally able to see that it’s God’s net that is the one who catches me whenever I fall and rebounds me back to the ground.
Who am I by Casting Crowns
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Woo~ I love this song a lot… It begins to remind me that I am nothing without God. Humans are forgetful people by nature… I need constant reminder to go back to God with gratitude for all the things that He has done for me.
“But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love. I will praise you forever, O God, for what You have done…” Psalm 52 : 8 & 9
(: Okay, moving on to another topic… Today was the first time I spoke to Sister Cassie! She’s down-to-earth and a really sweet person. I feel really glad that she’s getting engaged despite everything that the couple has gone through. What doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger. (:
Since I’m on the topic of love, I shall ponder upon what happened recently… (okay, I’m relieved and glad that no one reads my blog.) How does one feel when the person you have liked before has a partner? I mean… regardless of whether the feelings have faded or are still evidently there… there is a pinch, right? Suddenly, I feel horrible.
God!!! Please remind me that You are the only One that lasts forever. Love? No! Concentrate on God. I’ve managed to convince myself that it is not possible for anyone (or at least anyone I liked) to have interest in me.
As sad as it sounds, there are some perks to singlehood (:
God says in 1 Cor 7:34
“In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit.”
People say, God has planned someone for each and every one of His children. But… I guess, I am different. O.o
God bless you all people who are having partners! I believe love does exist, but apparently, it cannot be found in mine.
God bless people like me who are single! 1 Cor 7 : 35 “I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.”

-Titleless-
O Holy Night - MercyMe
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
When this song was randomly played on my iTunes, my memories went back to the Christmas session my cell celebrated together. Many things have happened ever since then. There are the things that should have happened and things that should not have happened.
I’m trying to think of how to put them into words… Have these different occurrences cause me to be disappointed? Yes, they have. Sometimes, when all these different battles come, there is a tendency to forget who God is.
But yet, God reminds me once again… “ ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega – the beginning and the end.’ says the Lord God. ‘I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come – the Almighty One.’ ” Rev 1:9
Many trials may come, dryness… not knowing what to do next for God… stuck in the same place and waiting… But these two songs taught me something new...
Heart of Worship – Hillsong United
when the music fades
all is stripped away
and i simply come
longing just to bring
something that's of worth
that will bless your heart
i'll bring you more than a song
for a song in itself
is not what you have required
you search much deeper within
through the way things appear
you're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
and it's all about you
It's all about you, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things i've made it
when it's all about you
it's all about you, Jesus
King of endless worth
no one could express
how much you deserve
though i'm weak and poor
all i have is yours
every single breath
This song reminds me of this verse
“…I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person…” Rev 2: 23
Yes, not everything that I do may be excellent from a human’s perspective. But as long as I put in my best for God, that is all that He needs.
I Offer My Life – Don Moen
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, alll of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

Little Cream Puff
Once about a time, there lived a little cream puff. One day, the cream puff cream gets sucked up by the world.
Without the cream, can the little cream puff still be called a cream puff? No. It will just be called a puff. The cream is what makes the cream puff special.
The little cream puff went to find the maker, the creator, of the cream puffs to ask for cream. But the little cream puff just couldn’t find the maker. It hopped everywhere. It went to cake lane, it ran to doughnut road, it skipped to sugar roll street.
The little cream puff got really tired. It sat on the road and started crying. It thought to itself, “maker…maker…where are you? I need you so desperately.”
Suddenly, it felt someone scooping it into his hands. It was the maker!
The maker said, “little cream puff, I was with you all along. I am still with you. But you were searching for me at all the wrong places. Why didn’t you go back to the cream puff house to find me?”
The little cream puff was brought back to the cream puff house and was refilled with custard cream.
A happy ending.
But there are more cream puffs out there that are still searching for the maker at all the wrong places.
Little cream puffs, ask your creator to fill in more cream for you.
OH YOU BRING – HILLSONG UNITED
Oh you bring hope to the hopeless
And light to those in the darkness
And death to life, now I'm alive
Oh you give peace to the restless
And joy to homes that are broken
I see you now, in you I'm found
And you open the door for me
And you lay down your life to set me free
All that I am will serve you lord
Oh you fill those who are empty
And rescue those in the valley
And through it all you calm my soul
Oh now you find me in my weakness
And heal the wounds of my heartache
And worship for you in spirit and truth
And you open the door for me
And you lay down your life to set me free
All that I am will serve you lord
And you open my eyes to see
All the wondering all of christ in me
Jesus you're everything I need
(Worship)
All honor
All glory
All praise to you (repeat)
And you open the door for me
And you lay down your life to set me free
All that I am will serve you lord
And you open my eyes to see
All the wondering all of christ in me
Jesus you're everything I need
