amused

I'm really amused by the reasons people read my blog.
hahaha.
wow....there is a wide spectrum of readership but I still pray for discernment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amazed too at God's hand upon situations.
Upon lives changed. Upon His hand on any, and ANY circumstance.
I could write paragraphs of how simple faith-filled prayers can
change a circumstance.
Things in the spiritual, no man can see with the human eye.
But when there is prayer....whoa.

Again, i've been inspired by a humble but potent book called "Hearing God's voice"
by the same writer who did "Experiencing God". The blackabys.
But again, where did the wisdom of man come from?

Was it not from The Creator himself?

Am so impressed by God's wonder and grace that i've got goals....
(to do with creativity, compassion and a business) but no plans. For Now.
hmm......

when you believe

saved....

(singing)
In this time of year...(or rather years)
When prayer so often proved in vain.
Hope seemed like the summer bird so swiftly flown away
Yet now i'm standing here
With heart so full i can't explain
Speaking faith and speaking words i'd never thought i'd say.......
Ohhh whoaa
There can be miracles
When u believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When u believe
Somehow u will
You will when u believe

(song adapted from prince of egypt movie)

i'm just glad this crisis has brought many closer to God in one way or another.

punishment

but sometimes if we just look closer or ask all the whys and what happened.....
we will go down to the deepest cause or history event that hurt the person.
sometimes its not even our own fault but because we remind the hurting person
of someone who hurt them in the past.

can u imagine, one day you did something wrong. really wrong. and every
one thought your good friend was the culprit and they beat him up very badly.
He lay in the hospital and bled to death....
All the while saying "It's ok, ******(whatever your name is), i forgive you."
getting punished for a wrong he did not do but because the wrong or the sin
looked like it was his fault? How would u have felt?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's exactly what Jesus did for me and you (and the whole world) on the
cross. he took my punishment for all my sin. AND......he said,
"Father, forgive them. they know not what they do."

He didn't only forgive. He pleaded on our behalf for forgiveness.
All the pain and suffering for those hours....
Which would feel like months if u're in that physical state.

(inspired by the bible study discussion and sharing i had today)

inspiration

but how many people really have inspiration to blog everyday? besides every time i blog, i feel like i'm telling the whole world about a bit of my life. which is.....good and can be bad too. but seriously what does a life well lived mean to you? I feel, life is about telling. telling your story. (i mean a bit of it not 100%) by that, you could be helping, entertaining or taking someone away from their own worries/problems. (at least for a while).


i'm real happy today in a way because....haha, God knows i have my own personal dreams to fulfil. Isn't he wonderful? he knows that no way would we be totally satisfied in somebody else's dream. Like the case of a girl who did a law degree only to please her parents and then upon, graduation, telling her parents "this is for you." then proceeding to do her degree in Music. so, here i am.....still doing my bit......for the aim/goal/dream/ambition/target.

storms

every time a storm comes, the great weather after it comes next.
so it is with obedience.
the benefits of obedience are pretty cool.
like for one, if your prayers get answered,
you know for sure....its highly likely due to obedience.

this is kinda difficult to explain. like sometimes, you know.....
when your prayers get answered, it could be out of sheer coincidence
but u know you don't deserve it. you might even feel shocked.
however, when its really thru obedience and trust in Him....
when your prayers get answered....u actually think....
"hey i deserve it." and then after that you learn to
trust God even more.
