Beautiful Christmas with Chido♥

We were just too happy

My 22nd Birthday (6 May)

I must admit that this year i have learnt a lot and i am Grateful to God, for the lessons, the trials the tribulations..they made me stronger i know God prepared me for a greater year ahead and i am thankful for everyone i shared my life with this year, i gained a few good friends and lost some but i am still happy and thankful for that too..all the accomplishments i am grateful again for them,i could write a book about the things i am grateful for but above it all i just thank God for the opportunities he gave me and the Precious Gift of LIFE i am truely thankful for that..continue guiding and blessing me Oh Lord..God is ♥...

Inspirational Song

This song speaks about how we are afraid to pursue our dreams and use the gifts that God gave us as we are afraid of what the world will say but it does not really have to be about no-one but Jesus..we do it all for him and we should use all the gifts he gave us for him,,we do not have much time here in this world and as for me i have decided to start making good use of my gifts, i would say that is one of my new years resolution..and i am Grateful for the gifts and i believe that guided by the Holy Spirit i will use the gifts to the best of my abilities and just to glorify his name..God is ♥

Give your attention to Jesus by Rick Warren

John 4 vs 10

Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” John 4:10 (NLT)

"Paying attention to Jesus will focus us on the things that are truly important."

Did you know that Jesus shows up in your life all the time? The Bible says he's around you all the time; his spirit is there but you don't recognize him. He shows up in other people and what they say to you. He shows up in opportunities. He shows up in problems. He shows up in difficulties, but you don't know it because you are not paying attention.

Holidays

♥Christmas 2010♥

So this year my Christmas was kinda different, i was blessed with 2 beautiful house mates and well not mentioning the awesome Christmas Carol service we attended (with 2 of my good friends), i had the best Christmas ever, not really what i expected, it turned out to be perfect and i had fun,,well spent day and now the year is coming to an end, i cant stop thanking God for all these years he has been with me,,every morning when i wake up i know it is not by my own strength or will, it his by his power, will, might and GRACE. I am grateful to be alive to see this day, i am grateful for his generosity, all he has given to me, all he has provided me with and i cannot stop thanking God for everything, his love his faithfulness, his mercies. I cannot find the perfect words to describe how i am feeling right now, the joy is unspeakable, i feel at peace to know that he loves me enough to let me live up until this day,, each day for me is an opportunity  to walk in his purpose as he gives me another chance to come to him and prepare for eternity....

Lesson..♥

Happy :-)

So i am reading this book by Rick Warren called "Purpose Driven Life,,What on Earth am i here for.." im still reading it and so far i have gone through 6 Chapters and i must say it is Powerful..I have realised that most of the time i have spent my time focusing on what i want done in my life and not on what God wants to do in my life since he is the creator and has a purpose for my being here on earth...i have based my life, decisions, choices on selfish reason rather on God's intentions for my life, i have used the gifts, talents etc i was given the my mighty creator for my own benefit, praise, attention forgetting that i had to use these for his glory, praise and fame. Indeed God does have plans that are meant for us to prosper and not harm us as it is written in his word..Even what the enemy intends for evil, God uses it for good.

Back!!!

When Assignments got the best of me...

I have been awfully busy and never had time to write anything but a lot has happened over the month and i have learnt a lot as well and i also have a lot to share but firstly i would love to tke this time to thank God for being with me for the past 3 years eva since i came to Malaysia, he has helped me grow and it is by his Grace tht i managed to finish my underrgrad..if it werent for him i do not know where i would have been ryt now and if it werent for his love for mercy, i would not have been who i am now and it will take time for many people who knew me before to realise that i am not who i was before cus i found Jesus and in him i found love, love that no one can ever be able to give, in him i find solace, he loves unconditionally, he is faithful and fulfills his promises. He promised he would never leave nor forsake me and he never did... I could spend days writing jus about his love for me and for all of us but all i can say is his love is "IRREVOCABLE".

Walk in his purpose..

I am listening ♥

I've had my own share of troubles,,bad decisions and despite this being e most hectic week so far,, i've learnt a few things along the way..talk about bad decisions and regretting after,,,i found myself making a decision i thought was e best only to discover later on i had just failed to listen to the voice that was whispering within me DO NOT!!

counting down

One of them happy days :-)

Okay, so its been 3 years since i stepped my feet in this foreign land.....I hated the fact that i would be away from my family and at the same time the thought of being away from the "nagging parents" (i miss all the nagging it helped me grow) made it seem worthwhile...
So i embarked on this journey which was rather a life-changing experience for me...it was exciting at first,,and when i became home sick,i so hated being in this country.i got used to it as time went by and i adjusted, especially to the hot and humid weather,,,. i've learnt a lot for the past 3 years and i must say i am grateful to have been here..God knows what he does and ive grown physically,mentally and even spiritually during my stay here....ive grown to love this place partly because it never gets cold and because i hve met wonderful people along the way..(the list it too long for me to mention names)..i've faced hardships along the way, even heartbreaks but through it all, nothing compares to the way this phase has helped me grow and learn,, but most of all change to become a much better person. 

Judge not

i'm ready to love

Recently as i was going through my Twitter updates, i came across one tweet from Rev Run that totally made sense and made me say to myself.." Girl you need to gather yourself up and change". It read "when pple speak bad about others, its a sneaky way of tryin to praise themselves " mmmhhh  if you have never ever said something bad about someone and felt good about it afterwards, give yoself a pat on the back,i applaud you. i myself have done it before, i wil not deny it, not that i am proud of it but i feel ashamed, totally ashamed,,, it took me this long to realise how bad it is and all i was trying to do was to make myself look good, perfect...the very same bad things i say about others are e same things i hate about myself and i try and make myself seem like i am one little angel, or maybe i was jus tryna be acceptable im not sure...

Daring to Hope

I dared to HOPE

First and foremost,,i thank God for such a beautiful day and for giving me the chance to see this day and to walk in his purpose. So many nights i have cried myself to sleep, so many nights i have asked the "WHY" question..why me Lord, why not turn it around, what have i done wrong and why why me Lord?..On these nights I would curl up in a ball under my covers, face the wall and hope this time there would be a break-through in my prayers. Many nights, as I cried myself to sleep, I believed everything I had hoped for was lost and the situation was hopeless. I tarried in the pit of despair much longer than necessary..in some circumstances i failed to trust.. my heart has been broken a few times, my plans have failed several times, friends have deceived me, some have left, some hated, some stayed even though they never cared much.

Forgiveness

"SO PEACEFUL"

So we are all not perfect and most of us strive to becoming close to perfect, we each have our own flaws, we each have our own preferences,, my preferences are clearly different from yours and we barely even come across people who like exactly what we like, dislike exactly what we dislike and i mean in every aspect. Of course very often we will come across people who like most of the things we like and we're close to being compatible with them and they become our friends. But even in spite of how much we can agree on and how much we can care about each other, there will come a time when we disagree on certain things, usually stirring up arguments, there will come a time when either one sins against the other. Be it people are friends or not, as a result of us being imperfect and failing to accept one another with all our flaws, we tend to act in certain ways that upset others, we take others for granted, we deceive others, we lie to others, we tear apart relationships that were perfect by gossiping etc..and very often we fall victims of such behaviour and very often we fail to forgive.

Defeat bad thoughts by thinking of something better ~ Rick Warren

I found this helpful a lot and decided to share :

Fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable. Philippians 4:8 (TEV)

The more you think about something, the stronger it takes hold of you, which is why the Bible teaches that we should, "Run from anything that gives you the evil thoughts . . . but stay close to anything that makes you want to do right." (2 Timothy 2:22, LB)

Temptation begins by capturing your attention. What gets your attention arouses your emotions. Then your emotions activate your behavior, and you act on what you felt. The more you focus on "I don't want to do this," the stronger it draws you into its web.

Ignoring a temptation is far more effective than fighting it.

I'm back !!

Happy..!!

It had been a while since i last visited my blog and well i will try and keep it up to date :-). Truth is i do love writing a lot but lately i havent had time to sit down and write and a fact, #i feel shy when people read wat i write, i feel a whole lot more like now they know too much about me,,not that i want to write about my personal staff or staff about my personal life, or that i am too reserved but its just a feeling i cant seem to let go of. I am going to work on it and start writing, at least about those things i feel have helped me in my life,,the journey is not easy i know and lest you have people helping u get back on track, encouraging you and lifting you up, it will seem like one journey that was never meant to begin...so now i am going to think of something and next time i get back i will have a whole lot more to share :-)

I am truely blessed for the lil' time i spent here, and i am GRATEFUL.

God is ♥.

LOVE

Life has too much to offer sometimes when one feels like they have all they need it turns out otherwise, but theres nothing that makes mee feeel like im sooo worthyyy, valued and loved more than knowing that it is he that brot me thus far wu blesses me with this very gift of life and each day wen i wake up knowing ive been given another chance to live and lovee him back, i feel greatful and HIGHLY FAVOURED!!! life's too precious to waste by not loving others and showing how much they mean to us,,,most of the time we tend to realise how much people meant wen thyre gone and we tend to miss their presence in our lives wen we dont have them anymore,,weve been taught to love and even one of the commandments is for us to love one another as he has loved us but we humans tend to be selfish,,we value ourselves more than others, think of ourselves as better off than others and yet we all came from the same father and are loved by the same father, food for thought, it would not hurt to love others,i think we would all be better off if we loved one other,,there would be no hate,no war etc if we all loved another as we were commanded to...its better said than done but i believe with the Holy spirit guiding us we can all learn to love and live peacefully as brothers and sisters and this world will be better off than it is at the moment,,,LOVE LOVE LOVE...

All smiles

God is ♥ ~~> Encouragement for today

I was touched i had to share :-)

GOD IS LOVE

How can I be sure of God’s love? We all know life can be harsh. Consequently, it may be difficult to look at our circumstances and conclude that God is a god of love. Perhaps you grew up in a broken home with little evidence of love -- possibly even abuse -- from your earthly father. You may have lost loved ones to illness, accident or war. In some areas of the world, poverty and famine are daily realities. Where is God's love in all this? I believe God's heart aches more than we can ever know at the pain, suffering, injustice and difficulties all His children encounter, especially when you understand that most of it is the result of mankind turning away from Him. Sin's entrance into the world brought severe consequences. Yet from the onset of sin and its ravages, God had the remedy in mind. That remedy was Jesus. While we were still caught up in sin, God sent His own Son to buy us back -- to "redeem" us. Here is the way Jesus describes the love of God: God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16 NIV). The Apostle John also focused on God's love: God is love. This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him (1 John 4:8,9 NIV). Oswald Chambers sums up the linkage between the cross and God's love: The bedrock of our Christian faith is the unmerited, fathomless marvel of the love of God exhibited on the Cross of Calvary, a love we never can and never shall merit (March 7). Billy Graham, in his recent book, The Journey, says, "The more I read the Bible, the more I realize that love is God's supreme attribute" (p. 22). When you yielded your life to God and were born again, you came face to face with your heavenly Father's love. Now, as you continue your Christian journey, lean into that love, drawing deeply upon it. Immerse yourself in His love and care. Here is a prayer, penned to the early church in Ephesus by the Apostle Paul, who wrote several letters to new believers that are recorded in theNew Testament. You can make this prayer your own: "(that you may) know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:19).

Its a brand new year :-)
