falling in love

a fren just told me.

when u fall in love, u will start to understand how much God loves you.

whatever that u r feeling, the joy, the pain, the anticipation, is exactly what God feels towards you.

wow.

friends

touched by a friend who bothered to call from a faraway land, just to ask how i am doing.

touched by the concern, and the friendship shared between us both.

touched by friends who bothered to encourage me, and just be there for me.

heard a sad story, and pray hard that none of my friendships will end up like that.

thank God for friends. they make the world of a difference in my life.

i want patience, and i want it now

i was reminded, that how somewhere along the line, God dropped this word in my heart, and told me, this was a yr of learning to be patient.

there are so many times that i was so upset i felt like pulling out my hair, or screaming at the top of my lungs.

and it is always ppl that drive me up the wall. i know. tell me about it.

how interesting we want patience, and we want it now.

i’m still feeling like pulling out my hair, and screaming at the top of my lungs.

can only keep telling myself. chill ah xiaoting. chill.

to quote kt, or whoever that it is, take a chill pill.

urgghhhh.

sidenote: when i’m really exceptionally silent, it must be because i have sth really impt on my mind, or i’m feeling really urgh on the inside. and i’m not talking. just in case, the moment i open my mouth, i blow up.

Fancy Free

there is something really special about this MV i feel.

totally can identify with what Sun is saying, this fantasy and amusement park atmosphere.

I love the out of the world feeling, the fantasy theme, and that willy wonka feel in some of sun’s costumes. :)

love it.

rantings

my rantings about the last few days.

a lot of thoughts running thru my mind regarding many areas of my life and ministry.

what that really blessed me was the privilege to be there listening to the man of God.

to whom will we go? you have the words of eternal life.

i heart my leaders.

leadership is all about modelling. u can preach anything u want, but at the end of the day, u r the message.

we are made up of body, soul and spirit. we cannot just focus on one aspect.

you need to be happy. Be happy.

for some reason, i was so impacted by the msg on Sunday.

it has been a while.

it was really like.. suddenly the Lord came and touched me, and it changed me. I din even know what happened, but suddenly i was hit by the presence of God in that room, and it was only me and Him.

He sees, He knows, He understands.

skipping to sth else.

have been telling a few ppl, how blessed I m to have ldrs in my life.

i am under a covering.

and honestly, i love that openness and transparency.

i love being able to share everything that is in my heart, and never having to try to be someone else.

i love the fact that my ldr knows me, believes in me and loves me.

and i pray, i will be as much to my ppl.

come back for more.. on our miniature cg outing… and more!

on love

we just had a devotion with Pst tan that blew me away completely.

i was so touched by the word.

i cannot tell u how much i feel, and how thankful i m for the word.

and how i really need it, and how God spoke to me.

He does see and He does know. thank You Lord.

as u can tell, many things happened these few things that did affect me in some ways.

it has been a while.

and all these things brought me back to some self-evaluation of myself and my life too.

i dunno how i allowed things to evolve into what it is like, but it did saddened me greatly.

some things that pst tan said that hit me.

Jesus loved them till the end. and the moment u decide to love till the end, the devil showed up.

it’s not going to be easy, but whoever that is forgiven much also loves much.

because of how much God loves u, r u willing to love in the same way, in spite of all its difficulties?

and at the end of the day, i cried and told God, that i am sorry for the times that i failed to love, and the times that i became judgmental.

and in spite of all my weaknesses as a ldr, He still chose me.

and the Lord asked me, if i would be willing,

to love them till the end?

and after that i was reading kt’s blog. and i cried like crazy.

what a word. what a revelation. what an encounter.

we love, because He first loved us.

and because He loved them (and us) till the end, we can love them till the end.

things that make my day

i love Mondays!

Haha.

I love the fact that I can sleep as late as i want on Sun night, and yest i watched the movie Keeping Mum. and realised that i watched it before. but it’s ok, i really did enjoy it.

and i love the fact that 我可以睡到自然醒。:)

check out some stuff, new phones, went to give BS, and met my family for dinner. It’s such a fulfilling day!

I had a lot of fun with my family today; it’s seldom that we get a chance like that. hopefully i will get to upload pics soon.

one last thing that i want to say, which i always forget.

you know i have this real adorable baby girl who lives next door, and she is the sweetest thing!

every day when i m going out, she will run to the door and smile at me! and when i m leaving, she will look a little sad and wave bye.

u know how endearing is that? every morning her smile makes my day.

one day i will post up her pic.

haha.

bye peeps!

LOYALTY

Ruth 1:16-17

But Ruth said:
      “ Entreat me not to leave you,
Or to turn back from following after you;
      For wherever you go, I will go;
      And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
      Your people shall be my people,
      And your God, my God.

Where you die, I will die,
      And there will I be buried.
      The LORD do so to me, and more also,
      If anything but death parts you and me.”

who will be found faithful. and loyal. till the end?

YOU WILL BE MISSED

when i imagine the day.

i thot. i will definitely cry the moment i see him walk in.

i din.

but while talking to him on msn.

tears flowed.

we love u!

His faithfulness

different things have happened these 2 weeks, and some things that did really affect me.

there r very few things that get me down, but one thing about me (and probably everybody) is how all of us r so afraid of getting hurt.

i, for one, am one.

it’s an area of my life that i guard and protect very much. because i m very very scared of getting hurt.

Past experiences left dark shadows in me, but i m glad that i m learning to walk out of it.

Yet for the past 2 weeks, i felt that the devil just took a bow and arrow, and aimed at my heart.

and it was not just in one area.

but the cool thing is. i start to learn to walk out of it, and to strengthen my heart in Him.

i love what MY said, that God will protect my heart.

and i m so thankful that He did.

what XQ said really encouraged me, because i can trust in His love for me, i know there’s no need to fear.

Because of You, there’s no need to fear.

and He fights for me.

I dun strive because He fights for me.

I pray and I trust.

and He makes things happen for me.

And i will continue to pray. and continue to trust.

and I know, You make all things work together for my good.

and because of that, i can have the peace that surpasses all understanding.

THANK YOU.

what scares me

what scares me

is not what i see on the outside

but what i don’t see but yet can feel

on the inside

Tuesday, September 08, 2009

thank you

thank you for friends and leaders, who rallied around me, and help this experience become a less difficult one.

it’s appreciated.

thank you, that every day when i wake up, my heart gets a little stronger.

it’s amazing what u do, in one night of sleep.

and i m thankful.

even though i m dead scared, but there is no fear in love, because perfect love casts out fear. he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

xq sent this to me yest. and it really encouraged me.

xiaoting, gambatte!!! :)))))

a dream

醒来后,就好像梦一场。

梦结束了,就该醒过来了。

回到现实生活,好好活下去。

可能有一天,会有梦想成真的可能。

不然,我们就当。。。

这只是一场梦。

好吗?

peace that surpasses all understanding

Phil 4:6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

最近发现,如果某样东西让你感觉很痛,这样东西对你而言,应该很重要。

受宠若惊

Tdy, something happened that made me feel like that.

I was so shocked that when we prayed, she felt this way.

But i m overwhelmed, by how God went all the way out to show me sth.

Is this it?

times and seasons

传道书3章

1凡事都有定期,天下万务都有定时。

2生有时,死有时;栽种有时,拔出所栽种的也有时;

3杀戮有时,医治有时;拆毁有时,建造有时;

4哭有时,笑有时;哀恸有时,跳舞有时;

5抛掷石头有时,堆聚石头有时;怀抱有时,不怀抱有时;

6寻找有时,失落有时;保守有时,舍弃有时;

7撕裂有时,缝补有时;静默有时,言语有时;

8喜爱有时,恨恶有时;争战有时,和好有时。

9这样看来,做事的人在他的劳碌上有什么益处呢?

10我见神叫世人劳苦,使他们在其中受经练。

11神造万物,各按其时成为美好,又将永生(原文是永远)安置在世人心里。然而神从始至终的作为,人不能参透。

12我知道世人,莫强如终身喜乐行善;

13并且人人吃喝,在他一切劳碌中享福,这也是神的恩赐。

14我知道神一切所做的都必永存;无所增添,无所减少。神这样行,是要人在他面前存敬畏的心。

15现今的事早先就有了,将来的事早已也有了,并且神使已过的事重新再来(或译:并且神再寻回已过的事)。

昨天和03S61的同学见面。kw问了wb一个问题,我听了后,不禁想要道出我的心声。

昨天和Helen说,我认为,对每一个工作的人来说,其中一个很大的挑战是,你要找到一直走下去的推动力。这和陈牧师所说的faithfulness是很相似的。

不管你是银行家、教师、会计、牧者、律师,你需要拥有走下去的动力。

当这动力不复存在时,你就很可能失去走下去的力量。

我认为,各行各业,都会面对这样的挑战的。

我昨天在想,就翻到了传道书3章。

凡事都有定期,天下万务都有定时。

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

dear readers, here’s for you to ponder.

I’m still in midst of organising my thoughts.

But Ecc 3 is a very interesting passage.

Think abt it! Haha. U can tag n reply if u have thoughts.
