I have a desire to shop today!

Yinghui and I had 5 free hours in school today, and we were so bored.
So we went shopping in NUS.
haha!

So we tried on these clothes.

But I think in the end, we look more like waitresses.
Fashion disaster! (to me at least)

Actually, for most of the time, we were trying to ballot our tutorial slots.
I really have to say that I dislike this system. All the bidding and balloting are giving me headache.

Interestingly, I am quite calm even though I have some problems with bidding and balloting. Compared to my jittery self last sem, I was having peace in my heart this time round.
I am so happy. I'm slowly learning how to trust in God again.
This is wonderful. Even though this is just a small thing, I am so delighted about this.

I had a really rewarding time during prayer meeting tonight too. I was really tired and drained, and I wanted to take a rest, meaning to pray softly, just there to sing songs. But when I was prompted to pray for energy to stay awake by the Holy Spirit, I was receiving so much more.

God is good all the time!

Cindy

Cindy is a beautiful girl. Or woman I should say.
Yes, the Cindy that we all know in Renewal.

Her beauty flows out within her heart.
She doesn't seem to have any bad points.
Gentle as she is, she doesn't show her tantrum. (Or at least I haven't seen it yet.)
Considerate as she is, she does it through her actions and she doesn't voice it out most of the times.
She seems to know your needs whenever you're with her.

"Thanks a lot for sending me home!"
"You're welcome. anyway it's on the way ma, and it's late and also raining ma.
Just do whatever that is within my ability."

That's her reply when I smsed her last night after giving me a lift.
I like her reply.
It's like doing all that you can to help a person even when it's optional.
And she justifies it with "Just do whatever that is within my ability".

I'll absorb your ability! And use it well. =)

DONUTS!

A circle with a hole is a DONUT!

Live it your best!

钻石人生
活出美好

Both are talking about the same thing.
Live it! Make it your best!

I had been thinking about a lot of things recently.
In order for me to live my best life, I need to have faith.
Faith that does not come from the world or myself.
Faith that is firmly established in the Word of the Lord.
I need this faith in my heart.

Last year, Rev Chern prayed that I must increase in my faith.
This year, godma Rebecca prayed that I must not be afraid but to be bold.
Last night during prayer meeting, a pastor prayed that I must stretch my faith, know that I have a royal status and that all negative thoughts must be removed.

And the minute I reached home, there were many things that made me upset.
Negative thoughts came to me once again.
When can I get out of this cycle?
I thought I had just prayed and declared that all negative thoughts are to be away from me.
It is a terrible feeling. Not easy to overcome.
My faith has fainted.

You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.
Isaiah 26:3

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and Wisdom to know the difference.

Lord, in all things, take control.
I trust and lean on You.
I am re-establishing my faith, faith in Christ Jesus.
It is the first lesson of my beautiful life ahead.

birthday resolution

This birthday, many have celebrated with me. When I'm asked to make a wish before blowing the candle, I didn't know what I want.
Since young, I had millions of wishes even till my 18th birthday.
But for the first time, I didn't know what to wish for.

07 seems like a gush of wind.
Before I know, it's 1Jan, and I have to make a wish.
I begin to think.
What do I want?

I want to mature. More and more. In all aspects.
