WOW !

I am so excited for Praise Team Practice tomorrow. I feel like every single song spoke to me and hopefully, it will speak to the rest of the congregation.

One way, JESUS, you`re the only one that I could live for...
So Awake my soul, awake my soul and let me see...
How You let us be, a generation that seeks...
The love that never fails, that never gives up, that never runs out on me!

So God I surrender, I surrender, I want to know you more...
And take everything I am, I`m clay within your hands, I will go, I will go, send me....
Even in death, in life, I`m confident and covered by the power of your great LOVE.

Because there`s only one thing that remains - YOU :)

Thank you so much God for your blessings, your answers to prayers, your love, your forgiveness, your grace. You never stop opening my eyes and allowing me to feel that excitement and happiness that comes with having faith in you. I`m so grateful...I really am.

I want this passion and this yearning for you to keep going, because I believe this is what true happiness feels like.

?

Just like that, half a year has went by. Looking back, what have I done? What have I accomplished? Where am I now? How did I grow? Did I grow? Where am I going? Is this what I want?

Questions running through my mind that yearn for answers.

I am still pursuing to learn more about myself and to define who I am.
But I believe this journey is continuous.
I also believe that I’m not alone.

We're not alone :)

Simple Moments

Seeing this picture reminds me that sometimes the simplest moments are the best and are really the ones that matter. I look at this picture and can't help but smile at the fact that this $5 plant could bring so much joy to my parents' faces. Maybe it is the fact that this nice little plant was for this very affordable price. But I also think it's what we choose to value in life. Sometimes, it's not about having the most or the best of something. Instead, it's about finding the most or best from whatever's given to you. My parents can vouch for that haha

Happy Wednesday!

Do not worry

As much as I have read this passage in Matthew, I never feel like I can place down all my worries. That feeling of uncertainty and possibility for failure always gets me.

However, worrying always reminds me of the simple yet precious things I should be grateful for. These are also the things that I find true and genuine value in. And with this, I find some peace :) I hope whatever you are worrying about today, that you will be able to think of those things that truly make you happy and thankful, so that you will be able to find your own peace.

Jesus tells us, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" - Matthew 6:34
Living in faith is actually so great because God just asks us to follow Him. Everything else is already ready for us.

If you are worried and afraid of failure, I have a quote my friend told me today which is, "Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm". I hope we can stay positive and confront failure fearlessly.

This is what I am consistently aiming to work towards.

Shot Down...again.

Being upset and discouraged about my failures only shows the lack of faith I have in God.
HE has the best plan for me.

HE will provide everything.. 

HE is God. 

So.....what's next? :)

DO

Don't just think, but DO.
Many times I think I believe, I think I care, I just think.
I really need to show that, I need to do that.

Refreshed

There are a few things I learned these past few weeks that I wanted to share:

- Never think you can't, because when you think that...How will you be able to succeed?
- When you face failure, there is something you can ALWAYS get out of it; whether it is a realization, an experience, a lesson, or even a friendship - there is always something there. So don't stop looking and keep striving. Do not be discouraged!
- Have hope. I am filled with so much peace whenever I call to God. I really feel that He always listens and has the wisdom to give us the best, even if it's something I don't expect.

I just want to take this time to thank my special someone for the continuous encouragement too :). HL I'm so thankful that you believe in me, even when I sometimes don't believe in myself. Sounds cheesy but you have shown me that I am capable of great things as long as I think I can.

....And that goes for everybody - we can all achieve the great goals we set for ourselves through carrying a strong mentality. Let's build on that attitude.

"Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying." - Romans 12:12
