~It'z Friday~

"Friends are the family we choose for ourselves."

Quoting from a fridge magnet which my friend gave me as Christmas present last year.

I am not in the mood to study although there will be 3-4 tests next week before I go back to Ipoh for the mid sem break. I was supposed to go for my church cell PD trip this weekend but cannot go la.. coz of all these crazy tests, lab reports.. der.. but nvm.. There's always next time.

Well well.... some thoughts..

Proverbs 24:10
"If you fail under pressure, your strength is too small." (NLT)


It goes back to the movie I watched.

In the midst of busyness(not really though), did I ever stop and listen to what my heart is telling me? Or am I so caught up with different situations that I failed to see that God is in control? Or am I doing things according to my understanding, my knowledge, my strength? These are the questions that are playing on my mind now.

Lord, Your word says 'Ears to hear and eyes to see -- both are gifts from the LORD'. But I guess I have forgotten what is the art of listening... what does it mean to really listen.. I guess I have failed to see from my heart.. to really see and understand what is happening...

*It goes back to the movie I watched.


If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his rest again,
I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson

*It still goes back to the movie I watched.
More thoughts...
Are we living a life that pleases God? Or are we doing 'Christian things' just for the sake of doing it coz it kinda makes us feel good?
"People may think they are doing what is right, but the LORD examines the heart." Prov 21:2
"The LORD's searchlight penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive." Prov 20:27
Even more thoughts...
What happen when God confronts you? It's a time when God speaks into our lives and challenges us.
What happen when God convicts you? It motivates us to venture for God.
Well well...
It's Friday. A day filled with critical thinking processes -- from the beginning of the day during Science Cognitive class till now..
*Friend, I'm glad that you are there for me.

well, thou shalt drown in the voice of the world. Be prepared is Jesus were to really see you in the next moment for all that you could imagine. God is still speaking, i believe but are you really listening?

Yo, sister!

Yupz, that is 'The Question' which is constantly bugging me. I know and I thank God that He is still speaking to us, thru people and thru circumstances.

Although I felt terrible over the things that happened, but I thank God for showing me the areas of life which I need to work on.

You take care too!

C ya!!
