Life of a small boar

'Jesus always goes with us when He gives us directions.'

Often, even though we know the choice to make and the route to take, fear is still by no means absent. Fear for unknown, fear for all possible outcome.

However, knowing that God will walk down the directions He point us to with us is a great comfort. Nothing will be too hard, no fall too pain when we have the Lord guarding over us. The confidence that He will not simply point us a direction and leave us to fight our own battle shall ease our worries.

Walking with Him is a lifetime learning process. From time to time, we shall undoubtly go astray from the right path. Yet again and again He shall tug us back to Him gently, a little harder at times when we get stubborn but if we learn to listen and obey, we can avoid taking a long, hard detour of life. Be led by Him.

"True love germinates in the soil of sacrifice, sprouts in the garden of surrender, and matures in a matrimony of servanthood. Love isn't love until it has cost you something to give it away."

I used to think that love is a choice. But today, Pastor Jaeson Ma taught me that love is not just a choice. It's far and much more than that.

Pastor Jaeson Ma became a rapper at the age of 13, had a radical encounter with God at the age of 16 and was later called to surrender his dreams in the entertainment world to become a pastor. His talent in music however, enabled him to also be a gospel messenger in the entertainment industry. Entertainers such as Vanness Wu had come to know God through Jaeson Ma.

Last year, Jaeson Ma started on a 365days love mission, to show at least one act of love each day. His journey of learning and discovering love is recorded in his blog. Click here for the original post and link to his blog.

Today, the hydrangea in my house reminded me again why it's my favorite flower. Its color had changed, from last week's blueish-purple to maroon-green.

Hydrandea
a flower which my parents don't think much of
but which i insist of planting

Hydrangea
flower with ability to to change its colors
to suit the pH level of the soil
to live on under circumstances and changes
which would have killed many other flowers

Hydrangea
a name which in language of flower itself
represents 'perseverance'
reminds me of courage to face and accept changes
but most importantly
however it changes itself to suit the outside world
it never loses it's grace and beauty

Plumeria
a flower that reminds me of simple beauty
simple joy and pureness

Third would be tulips. Even though I have never actually seen a real tulips before

Tulips
flower with three petals and three sepals
has only one flower per stem
reminds me of triangular relationship
between spouses and God

Next is the ever popular flower, roses. I believe rose is a flower that can never go wrong, in which girl in general will like. May not be on my top three list, but it's likable enough. However, I have always wished that I can see real blue roses someday. Must be quite a sight.

Simply let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no','no'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. Matthew 5:37

Although vows and oaths are common, Jesus taught that our words alone should be enough if we are known as persons of our word. Truthfulness seems rare nowadays that we feel we must end our statements with 'I promise.' However, if we tell the truth at all times, we wouldn't feel the need to back our our words with oaths.

Above all, my brothers, do not swear - not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no', 'no' or you will be condemned. James 5:12

Some may say that truth is often the sharpest dagger,
and lies at most times are kindness....

I want my simple words to be believable.
I will choose truth.

Similarly,
I wish I can always believe you

不懂何时
我变成了一个复杂的女生
失去了纯真，还是其实
我重来都没单纯过呢？

曾经
我渴望一段灿烂的爱情

我们一路走来
虽然没有偶像据般的烂漫
我以为我成熟了
再也不属要那初恋的滋味

当心理的需要再次被点燃
我选择了去相信会有更适合我们的人

当你告诉我一切都会不一样
我乱了

但我知道
若我现在不坚持
将来我还会不断的问自己

昨天
我发烧了
没人可诉苦
有点孤独的感觉

虽然心里难受
我也分不清心痛的原因

During the prayer service this week;

Pastor: So let's now break into pairs and pray for each others' prayer needs. Husbands and wives separated,k?

Mum: Okay, so what prayer needs you have? Fyp? Job placements?

Me(sheepishly): I want a car......

Mum(sweat look): You telling me or telling God?

Me: ermm... both?

hehehe...... my mum is quite cute sometimes =P
