– A Drive Across Kansas
Life is a bumpy road, but Daddy God is a good driver. :)
You weren't born simply because one day you are...
true that!
completesurrender asked: hello. im from singapore too! :)
on your post 'Why, God?' i just thought i would like to say some things..
All the blessings are already registered under our name. Yes, all. But they do not manifest all at once, because it's all about the right timing. God's purposes are always well thought out and for our good, no matter how opposite we think it...

Mixstix's: when I say I am a romantic, →
heisjealousforme:
I don’t mean that I love Valentine’s day or empty flattery in relationships. I despise what Hollywood has turned romance into. I don’t mean that I have dreamed about my wedding day since i was five. In fact, there were times in my life when I wasn’ even sure i wanted to get…
because I was made to love Him.
Because I gave You my heart
God works in weird ways.
It was hard to go back to church. Everything has changed, and not all in a good way. It was hard sitting in church, and in care group, holding back tears, asking God for strength. I wanted to run back home to Brisbane. I wanted to hold on to familiarity tightly. But I know that too was futile, since my home city was torn apart by the flood. It’s too late, Brisbane too,...
Why, God?
“Why doesn’t God heal me?” My grandma asked and it broke my heart.
My mum tried to share with her about faith and doubt, and Jesus’ finished work on the cross. You know, all the Christian clichés. I wanted my mum to stop.
I couldn’t even sit and listen, how could my grandma who is convinced that God doesn’t want to heal her. I looked at my grandma, “Ah ma, I don’t know why you are not healed...
1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 (AMP)
20Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets [do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning]. 21But test and prove all things [until you can recognize] what is good; [to that] hold fast.
I came across this verse today. I’ve always been guarded when people whom I feel do not know me well corrects me or...
The Pink Box Folder
When I came back to Singapore, I only had $200 and some coins to last me for my 2-month stay. I could not find my ATM cards, so I couldn’t withdraw any money. My money was soon running out, but God provided via family, friends and my mum’s friends.
After much nagging, I decided to search for the cards, but I wasn’t able to. At night, I asked God for help, and there was this memory of a pink...
Looking back, I’m thankful that God can even use my weakness (pride) for my protection. Silly, little decisions made, not because of the lack of peace in my heart, but more because of my big-headed pride. Then, it seemed silly, but now I see the bigger picture God was looking at. I was so desperate to have a home, I was willing to ignore the inner promptings to say no, until there were...
Prayer Request For Queensland, Australia (Pls...
I would appreciate if you guys would join me in prayer and reblog this post. Queensland, Australia needs your prayers.
Prayer for the whole state. The floods have been spreading, homes are being destroyed, the death toll is rising. Pray that the rains will stop and the flood will recede. Rain is meant to be a blessing, and not a curse.
Pray for my city, Brisbane, and for my church building....
It has been saddening to watch and read news about the floods in Queensland, and Brisbane is next to be hit. It is scary to see pictures of the rising river levels, empty supermarkets and massive car pileups. But it is heartening to see everyone still cheerful and taking the floods in their stride. It warms my heart to see people helping each other, be it money or just opening up their homes for...
“Let’s never forget that some of God’s greatest mercies are His...”
– Elisabeth Elliot
I won’t be tumblring for a while. Been super busy and tired from running around and meeting up with friends. Another reason is also that I realised my life needs an overhaul.
There have been certain things that I haven’t been handling well when I was in Brisbane, mostly relationships that if I continued to have in the same manner, they might become unhealthy. I also have to reorganise...

with all my love.: Honoring a man’s position. →
withallmylovegracie:
I have yet to meet a woman that dreams of a wimpy, insecure guy who has no clue how to lead or take the initiative in a relationship. But few women realize that when they steal a guy’s position and become the initiator, rather than the responder, they shape men into wimps rather than warriors….

The Lord will command a blessing on you in your storehouse and in all to which you set your hand, and he will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. (Deuteronomy 28:8, NKJV)
Tomorrow is the day that we as a church present God three wishes/prayers for the year ahead, and together we pray for them. Something that I learnt this year is that while it is awesome we do that as a church, God doesn’t just answer prayers on that day. I don’t have to wait till that service every year to bring my prayers, hopes and dreams to Him. He is there every day, present and...
