The only exception.

Psalm 4:5:
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And put your trust in the LORD.

Thoughts running through my mind.
Sacrifices.
They are the unseen.
They are the little things. That matters.
The things we do for others, for their happiness at the expense of our own.
The things we give up, no one truly knows.
Except us.
I tire.
And i asked, is it worth it?

And then i understood.
It didn't matter as long as He sees it.
for i know and i know
He sees it as surely as the dawn comes,
He knows what we give up as surely as He knows our hearts.
i bring glad tidings that man might not understand nor appreciate nor be grateful to our sacrifices, but i find comfort that He does.
Nothing compares to His sacrifice.
And i may put all trust in Him, knowing that He will find a way out in the very end.
i thank thee, Father for the wisdom.

Gosh. She's talented.

Isaiah 41:
10: Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'

Morning Father! =D

I deny myself.
I deny my earthly flesh.
Lend me Your strength.
I lean towards You.
Strengthen me, Father.
Help me.

Overwhelmed by His love for me.
Words can't describe this.

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you.
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow.

First obvious sign God exists:
You waking up in the morning everyday.

Second:
You're breathing.

Lamentations 3:
49: My eyes flow and do not cease,
Without interruption,
50: Till the LORD from heaven
Looks down and sees.

Weeping in His presence these few days.

Certain things.
No one knows how much they mean to me.
Who knows, except You?
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.
Keep on trying.

One of my top favourite song ever.

wow. look at this recipe. lol.

Ephesians 6:18:
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints-

Today's svc & pm was just awesome.
Everything that was preached spoke directly to my heart.
Didn't expect to have an alter call and laid hands on. Totally awesome!
Keep on keeping on!
Tired we may be, we might try our best and not succeed, but He sees our sacrifices.
He knows our hearts.
He hears us.
Maybe we're at 2, but He still loves us. His unfailing love.
Let's continue to aim and strive for 3 for Him!
One day, He'll give us that breakthrough!

Thank God for fulfilling the desires of my heart!
Got my baking oven yesterday!
Thanks to my mum! Love her! =D
One more step to my baking dream! hahaha.
Aiming to bake a successful Banoffee Gateau & macarons!
Will post the recipes sometime later!

No classes tmr on weekends finally!

HAHA! ;D

He totally touched my heart.
Father, rain down your anointing upon me.
I need You.
Last day of MPM!
I know it's gonna be an awesome day!

Here I am, worshipping You.
With all I am.
Bowing down in spirit and truth.
With lifted hands, worshipping You.

Just needed to seek His face really early today.
Hoping and believing.

Thank You for everything.

"I'll take the leap.
Maybe I'll fly.
Maybe I'll fall.
But I know come what may,
You'll be there to help me soar."

Learning more and more in the ways He speaks to me.
This time, it's this song.
Timely.

The darker the night
The brighter the day
The fiercer the fight
The stronger the faith
So I place my hope in You

The deeper sin
The stronger the blood
The more to forgive
The more reason to love
So I place my trust in You

In Your ways oh God
Redemption is so much better than perfection
In Your ways oh God

Over and over
You prove You're so faithful
Over and over
You prove Yourself a redeemer

The darker the night
The brighter the day
The fiercer the fight
The stronger the faith
So I place my hope in You

In Your ways oh God
Redemption is so much better than perfection
In Your ways oh God
Redemption is so much better than perfection
In Your ways oh God

Over and over
You prove You're so faithful
Over and over
You prove Yourself a redeemer

In Your ways I have
Redemption
So much better than perfection
So I place all my hope in You

Awake @ 4.30am in the morning doing ministry work.
Just Him & me.

Thanks for the company. (:

Psalm 112:7:
He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

Come what may.

Matthew 6:33:
"But first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

What great news for the band!

Can attend Kim Sung-hye's sermon next sunday now! ;D hahaha.

My mother just signed up for a series of baking lessons after my exams!! haha!
Will be learning professional baking with her! One more step to fulfiling my dream! =D Thank God for everything!

Daily PM week! Yay! Finally!
Totally miss that feeling of meeting my Father so early in the morning!

I pray Lord.
Lead me in the week ahead.
Let your presence rain down.
I wanna weep before your throne.
All I seek is You.

not my usual genre of music i would listen to.
but still, weirdly addictive!

Did u guys know there's a verse in the Bible that all aunties love?

Proverbs 5:17 NLT
You should reserve it for yourselves. Never share it with strangers.

LOL KAH. THIS REALLY MADE MY DAY. HAHAHA.




Mark 5:28:
For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."

Faith.
All of us have it. Maybe a little, maybe alot of some of us. Even the girl who bleeded for twelve long years, even she had a kind of desperate faith. And even that faith the size of a mustard seed healed her. What more us?

The thing is, when problems arise, maybe some of our persistent prayers go unanswered, maybe things do not work out the way we want it to, maybe we can't feel His presence, maybe we just feel like giving it all up, maybe when everything that could possibly go wrong does go wrong, where then is our faith?

Matthew 17:20:
So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Our worries and problems may amount to as much as a big mountain, but even that little bit of faith to overcome it. It amounts to much. Really purpose it in our hearts to keep believing and praying.

The power of faith!
Believing for my dreams all over again. Believing and visualising His miracles will come to pass. Praying specifically for things to come. There will be a right time when He answers our prayers.

I remember the moment when I dawned upon the realization that nothing is ever a coincidence, nor owed to luck, nor chance.
Do not ever say 'what a coincidence'!
Everything is planned by Him.
Everything happens for a reason.
For the Lord wills it, and He makes all things work together for our good.
Owe nothing to coincidence.
I've found the word I was always looking for since that moment.
That word is kairos.
It means the right or opportune moment, or the supreme moment.
In the New Testament kairos means "the appointed time in the purpose of God", the time when God acts (e.g. Mark 1.15, the kairos is fulfilled).
There's a kairos moment for all things.
There's always a right moment.

Phillipians 4:6:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;


Really awe-struck by Kim Walker.
Her annointing really is that strong. Just feel Him rain down when she sings.
Found her album. Here is our song. Here.
Notice all the even-numbered tracks in her album.
They're all spontaneous songs.
Spirit-led and spirit-filled songs.
Not planned, nor the work of man.
Just His annointing.

You make all things work together for my good.

I can log back in!
Praise the Lord!
=D

1 Corinthians 13:7:
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Psalm 40:17:
But I am poor and needy;
Yet the LORD thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.

His mysterious ways astound me once again.
A valuable lesson learnt today.
It was funny the way He did it.
It included a train ride and one particularly annoying Indian. hahaha.
Last day of a straight 5 days of long lessons tmr!
Gonna do this!

Thank God for Your strength.
For the renewal of my spirit.
For washing away my tiredness.
Hallelujah!

For Your love it leads me;
To mountains high and oceans deep.

Here I am a sinner, broken and in need of You
Take my life and wash my fears away
For You are the great I am, rest assured I feel Your hands
Holding me until the darkness clears

Father to the fatherless, redeemer of my soul
My life is Yours forever, my heart will always know

Your mercy saved me, mercy made me whole
Your mercy found me, called me as Your own

Jeremiah 29:12:
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

29:13:
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

"But to keep us in a fresh love relationship with God, it seems as if He changes the rules without telling us. It can seem that God is no longer speaking at all, or at least He's not speaking in a way we can understand.

The truth of the situation is that God is making sure we grow up. Gifts of grace are given in the wet, rainy seasons of life, but the personal character traits we will need in order to carry the gifts are forged in the testing of the desert times. God knows we need both.

By the way, even when we get older in God, those sweet spots in our hearts are still there. When He touches one of those areas, we weep, we become a puddle, we're captured once again. He knows how to reel us into His heart.

We must make another shift, go through another time of growth and take another lesson in His language of love. We must embrace another opportunity to exercise faith in the reality that He is with us whether we 'feel' His presence of not. He has promised never to leave us or forsake us, and we can take that one to the bank any day of the week. I love to feel His presence, but my faith in Him is not based on how much I feel. It is based on His word of promise. His name is Emmanuel- God with us.

His loving desire to be in communication with us never ebbs or ceases. We will soon find out that we are the ones who need to change. We are the ones who must lean into His heart to hear His sweet love language."
-Hearing God by James W.Goll


Romans 10:17:
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

Romans 15:13:
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Amen!
I felt His change of rule yesterday.
Feeling Him in a new way.
Feeling another new touch from the Holy Spirit now.
I didn't realise it then, but I left the cgm yesterday with more than I expected.

Thank You for the new breakthroughs!
Thank You for all the blessings!
Thank You for everything!
I'm alive when I'm alive in You!

Job 23:
10: But He knows the way that I take;
When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

11: My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.

First real experience of spiritual dryness last week.
Albeit a short one.
There's more to spiritual emptiness than just that.
It's His test and refining of our faith.

To perfect my faith.
To improve my character.
To strengthen my walk.

To be prepared for more trials.
Feeling His presence stronger than ever.
His love raining down on me.
Like a crushing tidal wave.

If breakthroughs are at the end of a dryness,
like a rainbow at the end of a thunderstorm,
let me experience more, O Father.

Isaiah 26:
3: You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

4: Trust in the Lord forever,
for in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.

3rd time.
3 days fast done!
Thank God for the strength!
This fast wasn't what I expected it to be at all.
More than a simple fast praying for breakthroughs.
More than a test of faith.
More than a resistance of temptation.
It was all that and more.
I cry out for more, my Father.

She's coming back from M'sia this morning!
I missed her so much!
Hope to even invite her for the service later!

Hebrews 10:35:
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

Hebrews 11:1:
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:6:
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Mark 9:29:
So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

2 Timothy 4:5:
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.

Thank you Lord for this Word spoken unto me.
