Priceless Hours!

This is a back-dated post =p

Went to Mid Valley after sunday class / meeting / prayer meet for movie - Pirates of the Caribbean 3!!! So excited to see my "bf" witty Jack once again =p ( haha, ss again... )

Spend A LOT today... =.=*

Movie ticket ~ RM12.50
Lunch at GSC ~ RM10
Watson ~ RM2x.xx
Shu Uemura ~ RM 30
American Chili's ~ RM1x.xx

But the fellowship and the good time we had together, especially with Yann & Willie ~ PRICELESS! ^.^


In the name of Jesus Christ, who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast. With all of eternity before us, make us take time to live — time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessings, and time to each other.

I need to pray more!

The people of the Lord in humility are to lay themselves and their prayers, and all that they have, at the foot of their God, to be disposed of by him as he in his heavenly wisdom seeth best. Yet not doubting but God will answer the desire of his people that way that shall be most for their advantage and his glory. When the saints therefore do pray with submission to the will of God, it doth not argue that they are to doubt or question God's love and kindness to them. But because they at all times are not so wise, but that sometimes Satan may get that advantage of them, as to tempt them to pray for that which, if they had it, would neither prove to God's glory nor his people's good.
~ John Bunyan ~

There is nothing that pleases the Lord so much as praise. There is no test of faith so true as the grace of thanksgiving. Are you praising God enough? Are you thanking Him for your actual blessings that are more than can be numbered, and are you daring to praise Him even for those trials which are but blessings in disguise? Have you learned to praise Him in advance for the things that have not yet come?

God is my Healer

Beloved, whatever you are waiting for or believing for, God will not be late. The Lord is the Healer. He is just. He is the dreamer of dreams and He answers prayers. Be assured that He will bring that prodigal home.....
Don't give up hope and one day you will see the resurrection you have been waiting for, come your way!

He is there

Learnt some wonderful lessons at CG yesterday (Joshua 10) :
1) Keep your promises!
2) God cannot be mocked, we will reap what we sow.
3) However, God will not test us beyond what we can bear. He who sent His Son to die for us, would He not graciously give us all things - if we are able to handle them?
4) When we screwed up in life, lets have the courage to face it instead of running away, bearing in mind that God is bigger than all our problems.
5) Have faith in Him!


God walks with us. He scoops us up in His arms or simply sits with us in silent strength until we cannot avoid the awesome recognition that yes, even now, He is there.

Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Happy Mother's Day

No words can help me to express my gratitude to my dear mommy...
Thank God for putting such a wonderful mother by my side.
I only hope and pray that one fine day, my mom would accept the Lord, then I will never need to be afraid of losing her for eternity anymore... May the grace of God be with us.

Dedicated to my bestest Mom,

Your arms were always open when I needed a hug.
Your heart understood when I needed a friend.
Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson.
Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly.
And what I love best of all is that you love me.


Mother, this little tribute, flows directly from my heart.
&nbspYou are so loved and cherished, invaluable, one and all, you are.


I cannot forget my mother. She is my bridge. When I needed to get across, she steadied herself long enough for me to run across safely.

Rumors has it...

Daly, Burroughs and Huttinger... ^.^
Wow! If God is to give me either one, I would be so so sooooo happy? thankful? excited? thrill? or perhaps all of the above?
Er... I guess the feeling is really beyond what words can describe... =p Haha!
Hmmm... But if I would be given a choice, definitely Burroughs ~~~

Rumors has it that I might get one??
Haha! How I wish that the rumors is true... but... sigh...

Let's have faith!

Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favour that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace.

Keeping your dreams alive!

God never simply buries our dead and broken dreams because He'd be burying our hearts along with our dreams. One of two positive things will happen. Either the dream will become fertilizer for something even better, or the Lord will give me the gumption and oomph to bring my dream to fruition. I can't lose either way!

~ Noni Joy Tari ~


Excerpt & edited from James Watkins' Message :

We all have dreams, no matter what age: to be a firefighter, a princess, a parent, a successful businessperson, pastor, a retiree in Florida.
But somewhere between the womb and the tomb, those dreams die...

The Old Testment's Joseph had a dream to be a great leader with his parents and brothers bowing down before him. But before that dream could be realized, his jealous brothers had ripped up his "coat of many colors" thrown him into a cistern, and sold him to Egyptian slave traders.

Even sincere Christians with God-given dreams find themselves bruised and bloodied at the bottom of a pit. That seems to be the rule, rather than the exception.

The dream is received...

I believe that God has given each of His children a dream; a deep-down desire to accomplish something of eternal significance.
The more clearly we can articulate that dream, the closer we are to seeing it fulfilled. But . . . our dream is to be refined by God!

The dream is refined...

For Joseph's dream - and many of ours - to be fulfilled, there probably needs to be some serious refinement of the dreamer.
Doug Murren in Keeping Your Dreams Alive When They Steal Your Coat writes, "It isn't the dream that gets tested - it's the dreamer. When God gives a dream, there's nothing wrong with it. But the dreamer probably needs a lot of work."

At that time, a richly ornamented robe was a symbol of royalty and leadership. And where do we find Joseph wearing his coat? Out in the pasture! Just a bit pretentious. Joseph had to lose his coat - and his pride. His jealous brothers promptly strip him of his status, but God doesn't undress him of his dream.
From the pit, Joseph is dragged off to Potiphar's house where he serves for many years. And just as he has climbed the ladder of success there, Potiphar's wife strips him of another coat, charges him with sexual assault, and has him thrown in prison for two years.


But our experiences - as painful as they may be - are never wasted in God's plan.
For eleven years Joseph learned the Egyptian language, culture, and management skills. And, most of all, this arrogant, boastful dreamer was being molded into the person who could see the dream fulfilled.
For Joseph, after of thirteen years of refinement and seven years as pharaoh's left-hand man of Egypt, it appeared the dream was fulfilled. Joseph's brothers came to Egypt to buy grain since there was a deadly famine in Caanan. And, they bowed down before the leader - Joseph. Everyone lived happily ever after. End of story. Roll the credits. Right? Wrong!

The dream is revised!

The "bowing down" part from Genesis 37 is a minor subplot to the real story! Look at Genesis 50:18-20:
"His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. 'We are your slaves,' they said.
But Joseph said to them, 'Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.'"

Joseph, at seventeen, had only a glimpse of the dream. And at thirty-seven, he still didn't have a clue just how big the dream was.
Look at Matthew 1:2: "Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers . . ." Then "fast forward" forty-two generations to verse 16: ". . . and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ."
Without Joseph's dream, starvation would have prevented salvation! The ancestors of Christ would have perished, and you and I wouldn't be reading our Bible. That's a big dream!
The problem is often that our dream is not too big, but too small!

Noni Tari is quoted in Dare to Dream by Florence Littauer "God never simply buries our dead and broken dreams because He'd be burying our hearts along with our dreams. Instead, He creatively turns our failures into fertilizer for an even more wonderful dream, a dream with even more potential to become fruition."
Our goals and dreams probably need some re-vision!

The dream is revealed!

Osward Chambers, in My Utmost For His Highest, writes "God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others."

So, where are you in your dream? Are you in the pit? In Potiphar's house? In prison? Or have you arrived at the palace?
God is with you wherever you are. And He will not waste one single experience in your life.
So, ask God to show you areas in your life that need to be refined and parts of the dream that need to be revised. And then trust Him to reveal the results of the dream.


Dream on, friend! DREAM ON!

Love = great controlling passion + obedience

Love is not just a sentiment. Love is a great controlling passion and it always expresses itself in terms of obedience.
