So its not just my nose running but my thoughts are too.
What am i doing with my life? Omg i find myself asking this qn so many times repeatedly.
Recently i've been having little hope for my future. I have been upset more frequently and disappointed more often. Have i just lost hope with people or in myself?
I just don't know what to do anymore. Perhaps i have been comparing or cooped up in my world?
Anyways. Im in this rambling state again. Where's my joy gone? Sometimes have la... maybe i'm low on fuel AGAIN! Urgh.. how i hate this~!
And i am sick now... makes things worse. I gotta stop beign negative!!! STOP IT PER!!!
Ok.... love u. bye.

Bday Word
Came across this passage that speaks my heart to my friends that i love...
Phil 4:10-14
I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.
vs 19. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Amen.
This sums up what i've been feeling and my heart for my loved ones.
Thanks for celebrating me where ever you are... know that God has made our paths crossed for a reason and I am deeply grateful!

But Master...
The title of this TGIF caught my eye and it did speak to me =)
But Master...
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman

Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets" (Luke 5:5).
Have you ever argued with God? One of the first sermons Jesus ever gave was from a boat. It was Simon Peter's boat. Jesus used a businessman's business to preach the Gospel. However, Peter had to first make his business available to the Master. When he did, something wonderful happened to his business.
You see, Peter's fishing business was in a slump. They had just fished all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless, Peter made his boat available to Jesus to use as He wished. Jesus used it to preach to the multitudes. After Jesus used Peter's boat for His purposes Jesus did something interesting for Peter. He blessed his business. However, Peter almost missed the blessing because he began to argue with Jesus. Peter was looking at the market conditions instead of the instruction of Jesus. Something inside of him made him reconsider Jesus' instruction. Jesus rewarded his obedience. "When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink?" (Luke 5:6-7).
We see a number of Kingdom principles we can apply in our work lives in this story. 1) We must be willing to let God use our work life for His purposes. 2) We must not look at circumstances and argue with Jesus when His instruction seems to contradict what we have seen or experienced already. 3) We must obey the Lord.
When we obey the Lord we might just see Jesus use us for His glory and bless our obedience.
***
My reflection: I have been blessed in my degree because tho my time has been stretched i still allowed god to use it for his purposes to serve his church. Therefore, due to my obedience he has blessed me at work and at school.
This encouraged me because I know that God can do the same for me this semester. I have been so busy and tired that it stressed me so much to go back to school. I felt like i strived so much last year and nobody (or at least the ppl i want) is recognising my achivements. I started to question y i am working so hard for... that mindset must change. I am not striving to please anyone but I am doing good for God's glory. God sees and he rewards. My reward could then be encouragement to those around me too. So gist of it is to focus on pleasing God rather ppl cos i end up feeling shit and there's no point pleasing ppl cos its my life anyways not theirs and i get to benefit from the fruits of my labour.
So do it God's way and focus and i'll be ok for this year...
Thanks God!

2011.
I've stopped blogging for a long time. This makes me question... y did i even blog and what was my motivation?
1. To update friends back home
2. Keep an account of my life
This year (2011), blogging has a new purpose and meaning: to be used as a platform for penning down thoughts and to reflect on what i've done and how i feel. It is no longer about who is reading my life or be a dear diary so that i can read on my past in future. It shall focus on helping me organise thoughts and reflect. That is it and this is what 2011 shall be like.
I am currently 2 and 3/4 into the year already and I have not sat down to think about stuff and reflect. So far i've been back in Melb for 2 weeks already but nothing has changed in terms of what i wanna achieve for the year. Life just went back to how it was last year and that is not what i want.
This year, all i want to focus on is to do what i do and not wear out. I need to set time aside for myself and recharge. I need to not let the drag of life to affect me but to manage it well so that I can add to my life.
For now, i pray that God help me manage my time in terms of work and school. I prayed for good exam and school timetable and God has been faithful in meeting that for my bachelor's degree and now, i pray the same. I pray God guides me deciding what job to take up and what to drop.
Orientation day is tomorrow. What does this year hold for me?
No eye can see, no ear can hear, no mind can know what God has in stored.
Only by the spirit will he reveal, only by living it out and on hindsight will I see a clearer picture.
God, my life is in your hands. My future is in your hands. Who you have for me is in your hands. The people I meet and circumstances you have ordained for you write each day in your book. Guide me and lead me to live according to your perfect will that I may be found pleasing in your eyes. I pray for a sensitivity to the holy spirit and increased awareness of your presence as I seek to live in obedience. Show me your ways O Lord. You are almighty and I praise you for being awesome.
In the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!

Day 13.
Isaiah 53.
Who is this man that he can grow up from dry grounds, who has no physical beauty and was despised his whole life. Esteem, men did not.
SO much rejection, not much recognition.
How can one live like this?
Yet, at the end of his life he endured the last bout of his suffering. It is like all his life's suffering rolled into one event. Why should he go through this?
And who is this whose death can bring peace and whose wounds bring healing. Why would he suffer for those even not interested in his death? Y bring their iniquities unto him as well? Moreover, what has he done to deserve this? The most pure, holy and innocent was sent to the slaughter and was stricken by opression and judgement.
God have mercy on this soul! How can this be Your will oh Lord.
Through his death, glory for eternity was bestowed. Surely, the story comes to a good ending. Thank you Lord for this man has saved all our souls.
Thank you JESUS for bearing my sins and sharing your inheritance with me. Thank you for continually interceding on my behalf, that the other lost souls can come to know what you have done for them.
Most of all, thank you for your great love! There is none like you!!!
