i know i shouldn't be blogging when there is an amaths test tomorrow, and i'm in immense danger of failing anytime. but haha thought i shall blog about this verse that has been in my mind for the whole night.
Cast all your anxiety on him [God] because he cares for you. -- 1 Peter 5:7
isn't it wonderful (and amazing) that God who created the whole universe, who has so many pple' lives in His hands, choose to care for me, for all of us? i'm privileged really, to be a child of God. i must learn not to dwell in my frustrations and worries, but really seek Him sincerely and put things in His big hands, 'cos i trust that He will do what is BEST for me. [:
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
i think God wants to remind me of this word: Cherish.
there are many things in my life that i've taken for granted. important stuff that i seemed to neglect, until they grow bigger, and then fade away as if nothing had happened at all, but the truth is, something DID happened, and left imprinted in my heart, mind and soul.
sometimes i ask myself whether i'm just feigning ignorance, thinking the 'stuff' will just disappear the moment i stop thinking about them. but they never did in the end.
all along im been fooling myself, and further circumstances don't seem to help much.
people in my life, incidents that are so much more than they seem, stuff that i lost and never seem to recover.
even this family, this family that 'm losing bit by bit every single day. everyone has so little time for each other, everyone fails to regard each other respectfully, everyone seems to lose it so easily.
i guess that's why God wants to remind me to hold on tightly to this family, this family i've been in for sixteen years, and this new family of God i've found two years ago.
family is such a sensitive issue, but they are the ones that keep you going, the very reason why we are living, and not just living for the sake of living.
from the bottom of my heart, i really declare that i love my families. and one day, i strongly believe, they will become ONE BIG FAMILY. (:
speaking of which, ne camp and oasis camp are coming whoohoo!
arowa ohana, even the theme sounds so nice, so heartwarming, so family.
ne is like my second family, won't forsake it for anything else in the world.! ahaha.
and that's why, regarding to some issues, i need to reclarify that it's not that i'm not willing to pay in more effort, it's not that i'm not interested or lazy, but in life, there are priorities. and church is my no.1 priority, it's not easy trying to juggle everything,and pleasing everyone at the same time, but i sincerely hope that you guys can understand that i will try my best in everything i do.
this is so cool ! God showed me a vision today, then as i was listening to some worship songs, this song further added to it !
Solid Rock
There’s a rock that doesn’t move,
It hasn’t moved, it will never move,
Even though the waves come crashing down.
There’s a tower on a hill, its always strong,
It will never shake,
It was standing there before the world began.
There’s a wave that’s coming in,
Washing over this town, it will make or break us, reinvent us,
It’s time to lay me down.
On Christ the solid rock we will stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
On Christ the solid rock we will stand,
We’ll climb on your back, take us to higher ground.
There’s a song that doesn’t fade,
It never fades it was custom made,
To raise the sons and daughters of this earth.
There’s a sound that’s coming in,
Rushing over this town, it will make or break us, reinvent us; it’s time to lay me down.
My hope is built on nothing less,
Than Jesus blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus name.
When darkness seems to veil his face,
I rest on his unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath his covenant and blood,
Support me in the ‘whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When the last trumpets voice shall sound,
O then I may in him be found,
Clothed in his righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before his throne.
hehe, so how is this related? well, i saw this rock rooted firmly in the sea shore. and no matter how huge the waves are, it still stands strong, not affected at all. then, the footsteps are like obstacles, washable by tides, nothing worth worrying about.
God is like a solid rock, unmovable, always there for me. He is a stronghold in my heart, and will always prevail in my life.
We will stand, and You'll lift us to higher ground. [:
keeping faith. keep that faith of yours won't ya? trust in God, and He will bring you through. never give up no matter what. i place so much faith in you, because i love and care for you, and i know that you will make the right decision eventually. i know that you will overcome it, and grow to be a stronger woman of God! jiayou ! remember, God is always with you !
it's not discouragement, it's just holy discontentment.
