But let me say according to the calendar... HAPPY 1ST OF AUGUST 2010!
Welcoming myself into another month of this amazing year... I really ought to thank God for all the love He's showered upon me.
I had a good time of thinking to myself, about my life, my God, my surroundings, my family and my ministry. God is still amazing... and I stop at this point in my life, being still and knowing that He is God.
Yes.... Godliness with contentment is great gain. I really want to thank Elysaa for sharing this verse with me. We can never be pleased and satisfied with what we can get from this world, until we realise that our security and life is in Christ. Then... we understand that to be able to enjoy things in this world is actually God's love and grace upon us. For dust we came from, dust we will return to. But certain things, we take eternally in eternity.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
- Matt 16:19
So it's been an extremely long day it felt. I woke up in the morning to send Kuzi and Wen Huey to Guyatt Park for their Amazing G-Race game, and then went back home, got excited with my plants and took them out for a nice sun bath on the grass. Then for some reason I began washing the porch and made our porch look really sparkling clean, I don't know if anyone would even notice, but I felt happy.
And then got back in my room, spent some time on the computer filling myself with things I have missed out for awhile, checking how everyone else has been going. And then I wrote my PREVIOUS entry... and headed to Sunnybank to buy hotpot stuff... and myself a nice Cha Time bubble tea that I've been craving for. Hm... Black Bean Sesame Matcha Green Tea! I didn't know there were pearls in there... so I took a small straw, went downstairs to the carpark and my straw got stuck. Then I headed back upstairs to get a larger straw.............. I wonder why some times certain things gotta happen to allow time, events and places to hit at the same spot. For this same season I certainly didn't appreciate entertaining a repeated encounter. But oh well... I love my Matcha Tea anyway!
Well, then after that I came back, researched more on After Effects, and then began the night of hotpot at Eddie's place.
It's been a long day... and we ended with dessert at 16th on the Park. I think that's like my new hangout place... but on the other hand, I am started to get a little bored of it. See... humans, never satisfied!
So tonight, I sit here and wrap up this day, and sign off....
And as I wait for my hair to dry, I'll go read Battlefield of the Mind... and try taming my mind. Certain things may happen and some times I wonder if that was from God, or was my long-time-ago prayer answered... are certain things signs from God...? Or is it just spiritual warfare?
I'm past the stage of choosing to avoid the answer. And so whatever comes come. But sadly to say, I'm also not at the right state to practice spiritual discernment. But, I think at this point in time, it's more of trust and faith in God. For now it's for me to understand contentment, and for me to soak in His Love and Living Water... the rest, won't need to wait. They are not important anymore.
All I want to do now, is to pray for people close to my heart to come to know God... people whom I care for and hope they will come to know the saving Grace of Jesus...
It's not a religion I'm preaching.
It's a relationship with God.
A relationship with our Creator.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
- Genesis 1:26-27
I pray God's Light will shine and touch every heart He cares for, and eyes will see and know that He is God.
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
- John 8:32
Each time I surrender, You test my heart.
Each time I get tested, I am on the verge of failing.
But that is how I know the depth of Your Love for me...
It's because You love me, that You show me my inmost feelings...
And as You mould and refine me, will my faith be able to withstand the furnace.
Thank You Lord, for Your Word says...
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13
