moved on from first impressions?
I’m reading Matthew, and wondering what it was that attracted the disciples ( Simon, Andrew,James and John) to Jesus.
I mean in Matthew 4, it says that Jesus called to them and they put down their nets and followed him. In Luke 5, more details show that they heard him preach, then witnessed a miracle catch when simon obeyed Jesus’ direction to cast his nets (5:5). In John, Andrew is...

Grandma.
I have entered a new season of family life at the moment.
This last wednesday my grandmother passed away.I remember my grandma always making it a point to cook porridge for me ( the chinese kind), with my favorite side dishes. Tofu, egg, fishcake, peanuts. She would often pick me up from school with a packed meal and drive me home. In opportunities she deemed fit , she would slip cash to me for...
”I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” - 1 Timothy 2:1-4 At...
I’m tired of these stories in my head
the quick words and quick exclamations when things go sour
the constant moving and not sitting down
the need to be wanted and the desire to want.
There’s one thing I know I require at this moment.
But i cannot for the life of me sit still and listen.
I need calm in this storm of confusion

Cat poem!
To Mrs Reynolds’s cat. Cat! who hast passed thy grand climacteric, How many mice and rats hast in thy days Destroyed? How many tit-bits stolen? Gaze With those bright languid segments green, and prick Those velvet ears - but prithee do not stick Thy latent talons in me, and up-raise Thy gentle mew, and tell me all thy frays Of fish and mice, and rats and tender chick. Nay, look not down,...

vision - the science way
I’m watching this program on discovery channel ’ human body: pushing the limit’. While the program is about the eyes and vision, one interesting snippet is an address of how the eyes ‘see’. According to the scientist, our vision is developed in the first 6 years of our life!! We don’t actually hace a instant vision, but instead develop our brain and visual...

kidwiththebulletsoul:
We’re creating such a confused race. They don’t know what to do with themselves once they get back to the real world.
Christianity isn’t about what you feel. If it were, you really wouldn’t need Jesus. It’s beyond what you feel. It’s denying self. It’s denying what you feel like doing and doing…

As I look forward to the new year, I want to thank God for a new year, an opportunity to live and to learn and to grow in knowledge in spirit and in truth. I look forward to learning more about his mercies and his grace, as well as his power and authority over the earth.
I thank God for my family, for the last two years of growth to where we are today. We have come so far in two years, and my...

Missing my home away from home
I miss sydney, and the things it represents to me. Its been six months since I woke from that stupor I was in, and chose to embrace fully what God has shown to me through his Son : His love. I am struggling with it right now, and I wonder what it is that makes being home different.
Is it then not true that I love God? and Why is it that I have now come to remember glimpses of that glory from...
losing my voice always reminds me that I worship with my heart and my soul , not just my voice and thoughtless words.
3 weeks and 4 days
I’ve been in Singapore for almost a full month! I can’t believe how fast time is flying, and I’ve only have a month and a half left with my family before I’m leaving for my other life again!
Firstly, praise God for his utmost grace in pulling me through my second year smoothly. What a year its been! I don’t think i can remember or list down everything that’s...

I didn’t stop fighting. I just switched teams without even realizing it. I began to see God as the enemy and rejecting His truth. I held onto lies and felt trapped by them because I chose to believe them. I needed someone to be angry with, and rather than turn my anger towards my sin, I turned it to the one who was trying to help me. I believed every lie there was to believe...
being home after so long being overseas is like going back to a old phase of life. Old habits to adjust to, with a new outlook of Christ.
I have been struggling with not being lazy, and keeping with praying. amd reading amd learning.
Today, I met up with a friend i haven’t met for so long, and had a really good chat. We brought up the beauty and wonder of the word of God, and had a little...

I feel so crappy when i drive my family.
Cause
1) I feel they don’t trust me
2) It makes me feel like a crappy driver
3) I can’t do anything to make it change
I can’t stand the fact I am not known to be good at driver. I need to be good at what I do. I need it.

I am exhausted with being my impatient self. I’m exhausted with always thinking I’m know better and trying to direct people when I know something. I am also tired of reacting cause i’m trying to protect my decisions, thinking that people are judgine my decisions when they ask about my schedule. does that make sense?
Its like coming back home has opened up old habits and old...

A mind through which Christ thinks,
A heart through which Christ loves,
A voice through which Christ speaks,
A hand through which Christ helps.

So many moments i stand looking at other people and go, ’ i wish i was that happy’ or ’ i wish i was that successful’ ;
Then when i consciously step back, out of my self, and look at my life at this very moment, suddenly its ” WOAH, how wonderful GOD has been to me! I have been so blessed, but too blinded to see. Truly, God is too gracious, and i am too small to...
Does God exist?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. They eventually touched on the subject of God.
Barber: I don't believe that God exists.
Customer: Why do you say that?
Barber: Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.
-------
The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again.
Customer: You know what? Barbers don't exist.
Barber: How can you say that? I am here. I am a barber, and I just worked on you!
Customer: No! Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.
Barber: Ah, but barbers DO exist! That’s what happens when people do not come to me.
Customer: Exactly! That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! That’s what happens when people do not go to Him and don’t look to Him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you...
