sometimes you just have to pick up your feet and flee

yeps sometimes we just have to pick up our feet and flee, run far away from temptations to prevent ourselves from slippin from God. yes. run far far away from the evil one. the evil one may be smart but God is smarter. the evil one will tempt us, but by God's grace we can withstand all these temptations!

how shall i say wat i want to say? let me try:

the evil one is smart and tempt us. especially in the area of love. he knows how a love relationship without God in it can draw us away from God itself. so what does he do? he puts people into our lives that cause our hearts to thump, to melt and to love that person. and before we know it, we have fallen into the evil one's trap and we slowly lose our focus on God. we slowly start to compromise God's standard. sometimes we set standards for our future other half and we start to compromise it. its sad. is it that hard to trust God in this area of our lives?


sigh. i don't know how to say what i really want to say. i don't think anybody really understand what im trying to say too. if you do understand, let me know.
and i also know some of you will not agree with what im saying. haha. sorry!

God's Message to Woman

When I created the Heavens and the Earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man, because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.

Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity. From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.

Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.

Support man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him; nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtue in your heart.
Your eyes - don't change them.
Your lips - how lovely when they part in prayer.
Your nose so perfect in form.
Your hands so gentle to touch.

I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep, I've held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like me.

Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you:
my holiness, my strength,
my purity, my love,
my protection and support.


You are special because you are the extension of me. Man represents my image - woman, my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.

So, man - "Treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile." In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me. In crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father and the heart of her Father.

Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength. In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

Author Unknown

now i know why im created out of a man's rib =)) its so beautiful.

I Will Offer Up My Life

I will offer up my life
In spirit and truth,
Pouring out the oil of love
As my worship to You
In surrender I must give my every part;
Lord, receive the sacrifice
Of a broken heart

CHORUS:
Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring
To so faithful a friend, to so loving a King?
Savior, what can be said, what can be sung
As a praise of Your name
For the things You have done?
Oh my words could not tell, not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart

You deserve my every breath
For You've paid the great cost;
Giving up Your life to death,
Even death on a cross
You took all my shame away,
There defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of heaven
And have beckoned me in

another beautiful song =))
im so thankful God spoke to me last nite about some stuff that's been buggin me for quite awhile and Yes God, im going to choose to trust You. from the smallest to the biggest fear i have. i may struggle but i will not be defeated. =)) Thank You.

what if..

was doing my QT yday and read from the Daily Bread online on Daniel 3:16-18 when the 3 men were facing persecution and had a choice to bow to other gods and then continue on with their lives OR to enter a burning furnace. the 3 men were facing a life and death(plus painful) decision and yet they chose NOT to bow to other gods, because they will worship God and God alone. and they said

"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and He will rescue us from your hand, O King. But even if He does not, we want you to know, O King, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up"
-Daniel 3:16-18

its such that these men know that EVEN IF GOD really do not come and rescue them physically, they will rather go through the suffering and not worship the idols that have been set up. so they must have really known the grasped the full understanding of God in their lives! then i thought to myself, if i was placed in such a situation as to enter a burning fire before me, will i be bold enough to say "Yes, i will enter the fire" and believe that God will come and save me. i really don't know what i will do in such a situation.

k the song "Better is one day in your courts better is one day in your house better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere" just came into my head. so maybe i'll choose to enter the fire and trust God.

because if im not wrong in Daniel God was really in the fire with them because the people outside saw 4 figures in the fire and the 3 men came out of the fire unburnt. then i thought well maybe God would really enter into the fire last time but i cant imagine that happening now!! and THEN it hit me again that GOD IS A LIVING GOD!! what He does in the past, He will continue to do now! and what He does to another of His child, He will do to me too! im so glad to have this LIVING God in my life. and i got to start to grasp the full understanding of this term - "LIVING GOD". got to start to trust Him more and more, even with the little details of my life which i think He won't care. but i am starting to think and believe He really cares. =))

praying that He becomes so much more real and evident in my life.

now, im torn between this - SPORTS CAMP



which is superly funn and gonna be a GL..even more fun!! and with the sports club pple and just 7 days of madnesss..hahah..!!

or a probable Crusade FOC..which will be meaningful!! really hope they dun clash again..but i think they will =(( why does this always happen?? why are these 2 not independent objects in my life?? y must it be mutually exclusive??

love and respect for your parents



i was on the train on sat nite and there was this bunch of teenagers who were just COMPLAINING and COMPARING their parents. and the common agreement in their conversation was that their parents were very 'fan' and very 'naggy' and that they wished their parents are not around as often as they are

i was so sad. im sure i was like that in the past too. but hopefully not anymore after seeing how difficult it is to be a mother. nobody was BORN into being a parent too. they will all make mistakes as well. but ultimately they really love us and want the best for us. how can anybody ask their parents to go and die? i will be heartbroken if i was that parent and i will shatter if that do happen! life is too short to complain, we should all love our parents because they have brought us up. they gave us lodging and food and education and love. though they never seem to understand us, we never seem to understand them too.

i thank God for my mum. she don't nag at me to study anymore and when i told her tt 'so and so' committed suicide, her first reaction would be 'you just try your best k? dun be too stressed' and she will cook food tt i like whenever i go home. though i get mad at her sometimes, i really love her mans. and she knows she cant call my frens 'mei nu' without calling me that too. haha. she assumes i'll get 'jealous' haha..she's just so cute and really so wei da. there's too much about her to say. love her very much =))

and my dad. always so 'serious' but he dotes on me. i wish i can talk more to my dad like how i talk to my mum. i wish someone will tell him about God. but all the same i really respect him and love him too. though i probably never told my dad that before. and my sis revealed he dunno how to carry my nephew! and my mum said 'yeah that's cause he didn't really carry us much when we were babies too' haha. then he was trying to play fighting with my nephew just now too! 50plus old uncle fight with one mth plus baby. haha =)) cute cute!!

well at the end of it all, appreciate your parents. they were the one who brought you to this world. no matter what they do, you must still love them. =)) life is short, grasp it! so whoever is reading this now, silently pray that God will touch them ok!! yeah thanks!! =))

i love your love



bought some cds over the weekend and was listening to it and this song really struck me cos it really speaks about how i feel!!

I love Your LOVE

Sometimes when I feel Your love
As I walk along the busy street
I whisper Your name under my breath.
And sometimes when I feel Your touch
In the quiet place of my room,
I sing Your name in adoration.
And there are times when I feel like I’m bursting
With Your love so strong and so true
And in my heart I feel such a yearning
I want all the world to know Your love them too

I love Your love, gonna shout it out aloud
I love Your love, wanna tell the world about it
I love Your love, cause I found it to be true
And I live to You love too.

yeps the tune is really catchy and cheery and the lyrics just reflects what i really feel sometimes!! yet to master the chords yet..with all the B F# E..haha!! ONE DAY i'll master it!! =))

the best choice i have ever ever made in my life is to choose to Receive Christ into my life. suddenly life is not so gloomy and i find hope in all situations. you realise that your life on this world is only temporal and we all live on only a dot of our line. as what my pastor, when we are on ground level and we look at a building, 20 storeys make a BIG difference compared to the 2nd storey. but hey when we take a plane, they all look the same! and that's the eternal perspective for u. =)) SO its about living this little dot significantly and for Him. of course there are times i slip and lose my focus and try to use my human understanding in all situations, but at the end of the day i sit back and realise HE IS GOD.

He is the sovereign One who created this world from nothingness, the One who created ME, the One who really loves me unconditionally as i am, the One who knows me even better than i know myself, the One who paid the price for me, the One who told me to remember my first love for Him, such a God can love such a person like me. Im thankful He chose to let me serve Him, Im thankful He chose to love me. My friend my confidant my King my Father my Rock my Everything.

i wish all my friends know Him too.

a mother's love




this little baby of my sis has certainly changed lives =))
his mummy is so amazed at how he was just a little dot in her tummy and now he's out in this world kickin and crying for all our attention all the time. and all i can tell her is "God's creation ma" =)) i was in the room with my sister the other night and what she said to the baby touched me. she said

"Yi Cheng, mummy loves you so much. i never loved anybody so much before, not even your daddy. i cant bear the idea of going back to work already."

i have never seen this side of my sister before. and it amazes me. a mother's love can be that strong you know. she's so tired and when the baby cries in the middle of the night she will still wake up to feed him because the mother's milk is the best milk for him. and when he had to draw some blood that time, she cried too cause she felt that it was so painful for him. and she cried the other time he had to stay in hospital because he had jaundice. i never knew my sister was like that. and my mum? she's busy taking care of my sister too. and to think about it, its still about mother's love cause my sister is her daughter too.

i love my mother =)) lots.

im all His =))

i love the children's innocence

haha. as usual its monday and i went to the children's home. it was really funny today because of these questions they asked! n all these questions were just from a simple question - is chicken or egg born first? i answered "i think God created Chickens first." hahah. so they continued to ask all these!!

1. can we fly in Heaven? how come angels can fly?
2. when we go up to Heaven, can we come down again?
3. are there shiney panties and swimming costumes in Heaven?
4. is there a big swimming pool in Heaven?
5. are there toys in Heaven?
6. do we need money to buy food in Heaven?
7. if somebody does something bad in Heaven, will He get sent down?
8. will Jesus get angry?
9. if we have eternal life, how come we still must die?
10. is it when we die, angels will come and bring us?
11. is it painful to be burnt when we die?
12. so when we are adult then we die, will be be in adult body in Heaven?
12. You De: so Buddhist will go to hell?
Me: ya
You De: but my mother is not!
Me: pray lo!
You De: but i pray already, she still not
Shi Hui: but God say must be patient!

hahaha. they are so funny. i was laughin the whole time they asked me! haha. cause they were SO WORRIED! it was so cute!! and i could only tell them "i don't know! cause i haven't go to Heaven yet!" yea then after tuition rylee was really sweet. she asked me to sit there and she got food for me for tea break! and invited me to the park to play with them. but they ended up gettin punished for makin too much noise so i had to leave. haha. after exams then go play more! =)) cute kids!! they are like my little brothers and sisters!! =))

addin on abt today..the 3 girls bullied poor you de and made him cry! i was so amused at even though how they protested SO LOUDLY that it wasn't them who made him cry, they still ended up coaxing him! haha. rylee was offering him lollipop and cheezball and she was the one who made him smile =)) shao min was writing a note to him and shi hui together with the rest were just telling him not to cry otherwise not shuai anymore. HAHAHAHA..super funny!!

a Christian faith

just thought that i should post this up =))

4 Spiritual Laws

1. God LOVES You and CREATED You to KNOW Him Personally

2. Our Sin keeps Us from KNOWING God personally and Experiencing His LOVE

3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY Solution for Our Sin. Through Him ALONE We can KNOW God personally and experience God's LOVE.

4. We NEED to personally RECEIVE Jesus Christ as OUR Saviour and Lord, then we can KNOW God personally and experience His LOVE.

You can pray

"Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the Cross for my sins. I believe in You. I open my heart and receive You as My Saviour and Lord. THank you for forgiving me, giving me eternal life and making me whole. Lead me as You know best. Amen"

well it occured to me that i should post this up otherwise many will be like me last time, not knowing how to receive Christ and just wondering what is Christianity all about. =)) i'll be more than happy to answer any queries!! hee =))

im all His =))

a nice song =))

was just feeling tired and frustrated, and i played this song tt liren sent me during that tough period. and i agree it speaks volumes to my heart =))

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain “I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain “I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

im all His =))..till my last breath let me be praising You

small hearts with a big love for God



third day on project BLOG =))

well today shall share abt the children fr the children's home i go to!! these children come from either broken families with their parents divorced or just bad family finance and stuff. so basically they stay in the children's home and can go home on weekends. and where do i come in? haha. i go once a week to tuition them and the girls in the foto are the usual ones that i tuition! =))

im glad they are in this children's home bcos this is where they also came to know God and with their little hearts they love Him. i was talkin to one of these girls the other day and she's so sweet. she was sharing with me about her boyfren (grins. so cute rite? these little girls are only pri 3) and that her future husband must
1. love God
2. love Her
3. be able to fight so he can protect her, cos she's scared of her neighbour who seems to be fightin all the time

isnt this so cute and sweet? she's so young and she already knows that her husband must LOVE GOD!! =)) den so i was so amused and continued to talk to her. so she told me that she usually tries not to go home on the weekends. so i asked her why and she said otherwise nobody will bring her to church when she's at home. so i asked again "don't u miss your mother?" and guess what she said? she said "But God is more important than my mother right?" isn't that like WOW? she's only NINE!!! so of course i can't say she's WRONG cos she is so right!! =))these little ones have God in their lives and they are so happy. whenever i teach them they will just break off into a song and go "jie do you know this song?" den they will start to sing. haha.

so i give thanks to God that i have a nice family and i am in a position where i can bless others by what God Himself has blessed me with. i love these kids but God loves them so much more! though they don't have a perfect family, they are so sufficient because they have a HEavenly FAtHer and they belong to the Heavenly Family!! =))

n today i also learnt a new meaning of givin THANKS thanks to OldMan. haha. you know just everyday of our lives we SHOULD be giving thanks to God because we have life and we have health. we can walk run jump see smell feel hear speak and we do not realise that these are in fact little gifts that God gives us each day. He can definitely choose to take them back. so let's not forget to give Thanks each day for who we are. we are all different BUT

"For You created my innermost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful, I know that full well -Psalms 139:13-14"

we are all His creations!! all of us are special in His eyes!! and give ThaNKS that each day all your loved ones are still around you. you never know when God will take them away. and of cos treasure them too..

and another thought. how do you LOVE everybody with the kind of love that God loves us with? our hearts and all are so ugly so sinful but God chooses to love us. how bout us? can we CHOOSe to love everybody around us too? no matter how much you rather not? its not easy!! that's why God's love is so UNCONDITIONAL and it runs so deep and wide. its true. we can't do anything that can make Him love us more or less. He loves us all the same. =))

Im ALL His =))

wat i learnt fr hall cell

hee. desiree shared quite well today during hall cell and her message was quite nice too! she shared about how we are different attributes between us and our God. how He is the potter and we are the clay. how He is the shepherd and we are like sheep. and personally He is my Father and i am His daughter. and also He is my King and so im a Princess!! so nice!! =))

she shared this too..read on =))

A radiant bride greeted her guests with a brilliant smile as she entered the reception hall after the wedding ceremony. She gracefully moved about the room, the train of her white gown flowing along the floor behind her, her veil cascading down her button-adorned back.

She conversed with each guest one by one, taking the time to mingle and soak up the compliments. "You look abosolutely lovely." "Your dress is devine." "I've never seen a more beautiful bride" The lavish praises rang on and on. The bride couldn't be more proud or more appreciative of the crowd's adoration. She could have listened to them swoon over her all evening. As a matter of fact, she did.

But where was the groom? All the attention focused on the bride and never once did she call anyone's attention to her husband. She didn't even notice his absence at her side. Scannin the room, I searched for him, wondering, where could he be?

I finally found him, but not where I expected him to be. The groom stoond alone over in the corner of the room with his head down. As he stared at his ring, twisting the gold band that his bride had just placed on his finger, tears trickled down his cheeks and onto his hands. That is when I noticed the nail scars. The groom was Jesus.

He waited, but the bride never once turned her face toward her groom. She never held His hand. She never introduced the guests to Him. She operated independently of Him.

that's enough rite? do you get the meaning? it just portrays how God will so silently wait on one side for us to just turn to Him. He will never forsake us and He will never want any one of us to fall away from His side. for myself, i always imagine Him to be waiting by the side of my bed to just talk to me. He won't force me to do things against my will but He will patiently wait for Me to submit to His will. like how i was lost years ago, He still brought me back to Him in the end. and i pray that i will not get lost again. this little story also says how sometimes when things are just perfect for us, we forget to give glory to God. instead we bask in the light and throw Him aside, as if as everything that happened was by our own efforts. God's love runs so deep and so wide, but that does not mean that we should take it for granted rite? we must NOT!

wells..that was just a nice little story to share =))
