Love, we can believe in

New

While, it is common to celebrate and party on new year's eve and do count down. One thing I find myself doing year after year during this period of time is reflecting on the year that has past and visualizing and setting goals for myself in the new year.

Well today, I thought about the first car I want to own. Well not exactly a car, but a van. I know many people think owning a van is cheapo. But I personally think owning a van is cool. Not only can it carry stocks for your company, but at the same time you have huge space, and can carry more people than an ordinary car.

Can't stop thinking of this beautiful van, a Merc Vito. I will own one soon :D (By faith!)

This is a Dialogue in the Dark poster I designed for my PR assignment. Hahas. Yes! It is finished! Well, not exactly there are still 2 more projects to go!

To those of you that haven't been to DID. Well it's about time you try it, it really impacted me greatly, I've already been there twice. Almost went the 3rd time! You should go. Really. If you don't know what it's about you can read my archives, did a whole post on it in May? Around there. You can visit their website too: http://www.dialogueinthedark.com.sg/DiD/Pages/default.aspx

Happy Holidays!

God's Chisel

God not my will, but yours be done. Many times we get angry with God for allowing things to happen in our lives. We think He doesn't understands, He doesn't care, He is too busy to bother.

But the bible clearly shows to us God as a loving, unfailing, faithful Father. Who cares for His children. As a Father, when you see your child hurting it breaks your heart too. As a Father, when you discipline your child, it hurts you more than your child.

Only an unloving father would close his eyes and allow his child to make silly mistakes and not discipline him and teach him the right way. Yes, the Father that we serve will discipline us. But only because He loves us and wants us to live a victorious life.

This same Father catches us when we fall, yes, even thought He'd later give us a few spanks to teach us not to be playful and careless again, but He would also hold us in His arms, and heal our wounds.

Trying to forget someone you loved so much is like trying to remember someone you have never met.

Second Chances

People say there are no second chances in life. Once you make a mistake, you pay the rest of your life.

But let's all face it, we all make mistakes. We all have. But I believe everytime we fall, we learn something. As the saying goes, "no pain no gain". If you've never failed in your life, how do you cherish success? If you've never feared, how do you celebrate, knowing you stood in faith?

The problem with many of us is that we are usually trapped in our guilt and shame. We can't let go of our past mistakes and failures. We are stucked. We are trying. Yet, we don't know how to move on. Have you ever felt that way?

Like you are trapped in quake sand. But the harder you try to get out, you realize the faster you are sinking. You are overwhelmed, overcomed, overpowered. You can't get out of this rut. You're about to give up.

Today I got a powerful revelation. Giving up is not a solution. But sometimes, giving in is. If you've been trying and failing all this time, here's a solution- just give in. Stop trying to fight on your own anymore. When you give in, and you leave it up to Him, "not my will but Yours be done", something amazing happens.

You realize your load begins to lighten, and the burden is slowly lifted. Some burdens were never meant for us to carry. The only thing Jesus told us to carry was the cross. Which means denying our carnal flesh, which like to do things our OWN WAY. He said, "Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laiden and I will give you rest, take up my yoke for it is easy and my burden is light".

Now its time to give yourself another chance. It's not the end.

In fact, not just a second chance, a third, a fourth, .. and so on. His mercies endures forever. When we are weak, He is strong. When we are powerless He gives us strength. When we are faithless, He is faithful.

They say there are no second chances in life, but He says, I have given you a future and a hope.

JYINGS DAY

Happy Birthday to Little Miss Sunshine. Thanks for your friendship the past few years! Sorry that this is 1 day late!

Another year has gone in a blink of an eye hasn't it? Hope you enjoyed the celebration :)

I'm still laughing at the MADAM JING YING and her Pumping surbodinates video. SO FUNNY!!! HAHAHAHAHAS! I know you enjoyed it too!

Behold Little Miss Jing Ying is no longer a Little Miss anymore. Now you can watch M18 shows! Hahas but remember to bring your IC along! (Don't say I never warn you!)

I know you probably want to smack me now. But anyways, I really really want to wish you a very happy birthday. I am sure there are greater things ahead of you! God bless!

Your Bro,

TWINKLE'S 17th

Well I know I am about 1 hour late now. But I figured I still needed to do this.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINKLE TAY!

Wow another year jus passed like in a blink of an eye. You are 17 already. Just want to say thanks for serving hard in the CG. Though there were many ups and downs, you managed to pull through and never give up. And turned out, you have grown even stronger than before.

Thanks for your friendship too. I really appreciate all your help in W504. You are truly a pillar to this cell group. Looking back, it has been an amazing journey hasn't it? But I really believe that even greater things have yet to come for you! Keep the fire burning =)

With God's Love,

Justine
