Let's REMEMBER Him - How Great is our God

What a year of Sabbath... This year I see many of the things that can be shaken in my life....SHAKEN... And I'm sure it's the same for some of us.

As we go through tough & difficult seasons of our life....Let us Remember Jesus. Our God is great. His unfailing love, great compassion is for us.

Psalm 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise

Romans 8:31-39 (New Living Translation) Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Relationship takes time

Comic taken from http://www.reverendfun.com/

Daughters! One of my concerns for you in this IT age is that you become so used to getting things fast & quick.

Reading & receiving from the Word of God requires your precious time & focus.

How much you get out of the Word of God is that amount of time you set aside each day to read it.

Ever wonder why God is not speaking to you??? How could He if all the time you could spare is to take five mins and do a quick scan of the "passage of the day"?!!

Relationship takes TIME & effort to build. If you want to know more about God, start investing time to build this relationship with Him! *There's no shortcut!*

Luv Cynthia

FOR YOU

*wink wink*

Mystery Man / Stalker??!!


Who is KINDER BUENO???







ROUGH PAPERRRRRR!!!!!









Poor Bren Bren!!!! Hey dun be frustrated!!! Cynthia to the rescue!!!! the mystery commentor is non other than -> -> -> My cute cute boyfren!
Kinder bueno because he buys them occasionally from 7-11 for you (if you didn't run off too early) Rough paper because Jo needs them for exams & he always, somehow, managed find a stack for her :)

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (Message)
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's the one who will keep you on track.

Thanks for all your wonderful prayers gals!!! See God bless you in return too!!! Hahahhas!

Luv Cynthia

now really. who's the chap with all the funny names? it's always nice to have a visitor, but it'll be even nicer to know his/her name.

we've been talking a lot of love lately. not cynthia's sudden outburts of 'let's talk about boys!' (an unfortunate accident on my part) but true love, the type where you excercise when someone wrecks your most beloved mp3 or something. it's pretty tough to truly love someone i realise.

i for one thing, won't turn my other cheek to someone when they slap me. a classic example is when i tried to reconcile with an old classmate of mine. we shall call this person D. it started rather awkward for D happens to be a rather formal person in cyber chatting and got worse when D hit a raw nerve when a sensitive issue was raised somewhere in the coversation.

D was right of course, but i still got annoyed the way the way the issue was brought up. suddenly i wasn't too keen on reconcilation any more. for us, when sparks start to fly we start to fly away from the situation. but to truly love would be to embrace each others' mistakes and comprimise frequently. well, if jesus can love us, we have to excercise the same type of love too right? this is going to be hard, but apparently i'm going to try to talk to D again. i've been trying to connect with those i usually ignore, and i don't get very positive results. it's really important to treasure the friendship when it's still good man. spread the love!

in honour of our mystery commentor,

10% of everything



Leviticus 27:30 (NIV)
A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.

Deuteronomy 14:22 (NIV)
[Tithes] Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year.

Malachi 3:9-11 (NIV)
You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty.

*********************************************************************

Cynthia: God is the giver of all things. Surely He deserves a tenth of everything!!!! 10% of our allowances/salary, 10% of our time (church/cell), 10% of whatever....EVERYTHING! If Jesus is not the Lord of our all, He is not the Lord at all.

entertainment

i know i'm mad to post two things in one day. but i receieved funny inspiration from cynthia and Ee jay (woah).

funny things to do(by my whole family)

1.talk while grinning all the way in a restaurant. especially to the waitresses. whoever opens their mouth first is the LOSER.

2.read out the descriptions of the menu while ordering. eg."hi can i have your muddy mud pie: ice cream packed with biscuit punch with delicious hot fudge enveloping it that will whet my appetite?"

3.go to an exotic restaurant and order the dishes with the hardest names. "can i have ajshkitedlooo?"

4.greet them with unusual enthusiasm and hesitate. eg." HELLO! can i have uh, uh, uh.....(let 5 minutes pass)"

5.book a hotel room with a huge bed. share all your jokes, laugh until you roll off the bed and go back up again. repeat till your tummy feels really painful (my mom)

6. question your parents on their love life. this turned out to be really entertaining for my family!

7.go into a lift with someone. hold the door open for a really long time before closing it. when it closes, turn to an empty space and ask"why albert, how rude. why keep us waiting?" (not original)

8. teach your dad new words. like when you say something rocks, it doesn't contain actual stones. emo is an emu, and an oxymoron is not used for scolding people like the word 'moron' (all of the above are my dad's resposnses to the following lingo lessons)

9.bring a camera along for camwhoring especially when your mom put on makeup. my mom purposely did so on our last family dinner. she went to the extent of doing an ah lian smile for us all.

10.share your ambitions. eg. my hilarious childhood friend kenneth. "my dream was to be a security guard. then i wanted to be a dishwasher." from that evolved my sister's dream to be a photocopier.

11.(special) imitate the jonas' brothers' songs. they are SO FUN to do. britney spears is good too, or even jay chou. my dad's favourite is jay chou, but my sister and i take jb, britney and miley cyrus plus other funny dudes anytime. who knew singing out of tune could be so fun.

all of the above was actually demonstrated by my family. try at your own risk, but it proves to be especially exhilrating when you're all on high.

haha.

the bystander


the bystander.
not a stranger, not a friend.
not on fire, neither the extinguished end.
his dreams and hopes carried him far, basked in beautiful passion.
reality proves his weak flesh kills the fusion.
he joined the marathon early, as did many.
he too once sprinted. strides wide at great speed.
the shade invited a rest, the birds begged an audience away from the race.
irresistable were they, so he gradually faded away from the prize.
he did want to come back with bursts of effort
but not strong enough to last.
the other runners run strong and free, praise overflows from their lips.
intimacy with their passion and love for the marathon brought more blessing than pain.
the bystander laments, regrets, envies
when will the day come where he can be like them?
he's eager but not desperate
he's had chances, merciful comebacks to the race.
but will anyone want someone back for more than a second chance?
he's been told he's been loved at times, yet he just can't help but doubt.
it must be for the others. i'm hated. once a mistake, always a scar right?
does anyone remember? will anyone accept?
in a sea of talent will a sacrifice be made for a confused drop?
does doubt seal off the entrance to the race?
his legs start to fail. he wants to escape.
too many voices, too few directions.
fear seizes his throat, he can barely beathe.
he's too scared to call for help.
the bystander.
he watches and resolves
still his path unrevolved
heart of a mule, skin sheet thin.
the road ahead prepares its challenges
he crumples within, defeated
before it can even begin
