| I have a feeling God is pushing me to limits these days.. and seeing how I go
Although, knowing him he knows where I go... cos he won't push us beyond what we can handle..
hehe..
been through lots of anxiety, stress, tiredness, busyness, challenging situations..
and more to come...
and especially those which I try to avoid..
I really pray he will be gentle and guide me through, knowing that it will be hard..=]
and that he will take away all the obstacles that hinder me..
Ps 90 has been relevant twice now..
and especially these words for me:
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.

| I had a revelation today at Source..
It's simple but true.
If you enjoy biblestudy, if you enjoy fellowshipping with God's people, if you are challenged and searched deep within your soul, heart and mind, and get to share that with likeminded people And get to relate with them, pray and look out for each other.. then wouldn't You want to invite others to share that same joy?
I would.
I want people to experience that.
I feel for those who don't get that.
That's what I felt at that moment of revelation today.
It's sad to feel obliged to do things... that are "right" and not actually have the passion to :/
I am starting to see the differences..
ps. Sharing something from today :)
To know God, to understand Him, so much that you will love His law, so much that you will taste His words, that are sweet.. now that is really knowing God..something to aim for - Ps 119
- thanks to the challenge of thought in the source study from the Knowing God series starting today, first one written by Jose ^^ | | |
| Repentance, is turning 180 degrees the other way.
I didn't always understand that.. or whether I did that or not, or how hard it was to do something like that..
But I got to experience it recently..
I was changing my attitudes to something, and although I had, others could not see, I tried to show it, and it's very hard when they can't see you do it, but assume that you are the same person you were before..
and it is only when you do something that is totally different to what you would have done normally, that perhaps they may see the change. It has to be something to show how genuine you are in change.
and that's what it means to turn 180

| Just when I'm about to go, just when I have ranted my all... I decided I wanted to read a psalm..
and which did I choose? ps150
which is
Psalm 150 1 Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with tambourine and *dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute, 5 praise him with the *clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD. and then I realised something.. so I went and pasted this in my strict christian aunty's facebook wall.. cos she claims that you shouldn't dance, move around, or play drums or modern music in church =] *stars prove my point.
zzz time for me :)
I pray I have more interesting and Concise and Deep thoughts for you all soon
my thoughts are often overwhelming and muddled, need sorting :P
Although maybe I shall leave you with something.
I learnt something today.
To be strong yet sensitive.
just as God can be Gracious yet Just
^^
Pray that I can sort out my car stuff without too much hassle as it has been on my mind the past few days.. incl insurance, quotes, demanding parents bla bla..

| I used to feel judgmental or think that people are "charismatic" and that it was somehow not good..
But recently that view changed, I wasn't afraid anymore, I understood the meaning of raising hands and clapping..
I felt more free to do it, and I felt less fearful, and because singing to God is something you do for God and also as a congregation..
Did I mention? maybe not..
but there was a couple[aunty, uncle] at church who started clapping and raising hands to one of the songs "Truly Worthy".. and although you can say it's cos of the music, but we do pray that it will be because of God that they did so.. and they let us feel more comfortable about doing it too.
Anyway, I found some cool blog entry/talks by Pastor Ko on the Riceregenerate website about that issue :)
Go have a read!
