yiwen, michie n winnie...

thanks for these pple who came over this aftnn... including alvin n my cuzzie...
i know her household is rather different from mine. finances are a little tight n she may not always get her 'rights'. Father, i pray for yw, that you'd continue to grant her wisdom as she leads her cell group. i pray tt you'd break thru the fixed mindsets she may have... help her know tt sometimes it takes FAITH. not always reasoning to trust n believe in You n Your word.
i thank you for her generousity... her love for her family... being willing to sacrifice n share her hard work... i pray you'll bless her in return Father.
i pray most esp for friends to surround her in sch... she's feelign lonely n dreads sch cos her friends from the past few years are no longer doing the same modules as her. Father, i pray tt the pple she meets will be kind n nice n willing to let her join their clique. it's never easy-making friends. but i pray fro wisdom, openess n may pple ard her recieve her well. since she doesnt like to approach pple... i pray you'd send some christians n other friendly pple... may they approach her n may they become pple tt will accompany her throughout her life.

Father, michie wasnt too happy w her family today... some things happened... though i'm not entirely sure what happened, i pray tt she'll stick close to you.
i pray for wisdom in the decisions she make Father. you know tt we all dont think she should be working... esp since she needs more time to study to make up for her last sem's grades... i pray tt our pcm will be more supportive of her... more encouraging (esp me... i pray i wont make fun of her or tear her down in any way w my words)... more loving...
there's only so much we can see... i pray tt even if everyone doesnt agree w her actions, i pray tt she'd go ahead if tt's what she thinks you want her to do.
Lord, please send friends to surround her. you know how hard it is to go to sch if you dont have friends there to make your day. i pray you'll just send some pple... somehow... to be there for her. i pray she'll make many good friends... esp good christian friends n good friends tt she works well with.
i pray in all her busy-ness, that she'd never forget to spend time w you daily.
Lord, i will be nicer to her. let me show my love n care for her. help me to be forgiving.

haha... she's totally cool Father! she had a tough sem last year, but it's all better now tt she's found more friends. i thank you for that Lord.
you know how she's grown to be more on fire for you. praise the Lrod for that!!! i pray this fire will never die down... that it'll only grow stronger n stronger each day.
i pray her relationship w her parents will improve. well, any teen/young adult will find difficulty in this area, but Father, i pray her parents will be more understanding sometimes... n i pray they show their love to her in a more obvious way so she'd be able to share more w her mom. i pray tt as the only child, she'd grow up strong in her parents' love.
i also wanna pray for her future... may you send the right man for winnie. i pray for a godly man... one who'd be able to encourage her in her walk w you... one who has the same faith, values n morals as her. IN YOUR TIME FATHER. AMEN.

well, he'll be enlisting soon... in a few months. i pray in the meantime... he'll make good use of the many hours he has each day. i thank you for his kind n generous heart... tt he's so willing to send me home almost every sunday... all this despite the rising petrol prices!!!
i pray you'll reveal Yourself to him in a new way each day as he reads ur word.

Lord, my cuzzie still doesnt know you. still doesnt believe in you. whatever the case Lord, i pray tt the time we spent together today... him w my bunch of christian friends... will be just a glimpse of Your love. Father, i pray tt my words, actions n thoughts will be a living testimony of Your love. please soften my cuzzie's heart. i dont know much abt him, his problems, his joys... nothing. i pray i'll put in the extra effort the few times we meet each year to just let him experience a bit of Your love. surround him w friends who know you.. n may they also be a source of testimony to your great love n mercy n grace. AMEN.

hmm, ever since tt day she 'scolded' me on her blog for something tt i dont think was wrong... i was upset w her. couldnt really talk to her much... so i havent exchanged many words w her since then. hmm, i pray i wouldnt be indifferent to the difficulties she's going thru. esp w her family members... they all seem so unreasonable.. n it's almost ALL THE TIME tt they're like that! i pray you draw her closer to you... n may she find strength for each new day in you alone. i pray you grant her wisdom in handling all these trying situations... esp her feelings n emotions. i dont know how... but i know tt w you, nothing is impossible! so Lord, turn the situations around Father.bless her cos she's given you so much of herself. reward her Father. i also pray tt you'll send the right other half into her life... n in all she does, may she honor you. AmEN.

i pray for kymn n her family. the many trying... super duper trying periods they've had to go through the past few years... the many hospital visits they've had to make to different members of the family. most esp this time, when their granddad passed away on new year's eve... i thank you for seeing them thru so far Lord. i believe you have a reason for allowing all these to happen n i believe tt you'd provide them w the strength they need to tide through this tough period. grant all of them your peace Lord. may you continue to watch over them day in n day out... i know tt you're moulding their characters Lord. i pray for sustainance... i pray for wisdom... i pray for peace... i pray for love... i pray for protection... i pray tt they'll soar on wings like eagles... they'll run n not grow weary... they will walk n not grow faint.
thru all of this, may they be a living testimony for you. may they shine like stars in the universe to your glory.
thank you for seeing them thru many many times... thank you for the love n grace you've showered upon them. i pray you'll empower them to continue living for you... serving you faithfully n ministering to others despite the own personal trials.

okies Lord, i'm off to bed. help me to get up by 730 or i'd be late. AMEN!!!

laoshi...

hey Father, forgot something.
laoshi. you know the changes that are gonna take place in her life in a few weeks. i suppose there's a hint of fear n apprehension in her heart.
i thank you she picked up my call the other night... she's doing alright =) just sick yet again.
Lord, strengthen her body n grant her good health. she's been sick so often.. stress? i dunno. but i'm so glad she served you in puppetry =) i pray for more opportunities for her to serve you... may she hang on tight to you in all circumstances n continue to serve you w all you've given her-her talents, abilities, personality n character.
Father, i pray joe will come to his senses asap... so laoshi wouldnt have to worry everyday abt him... i pray you'll work in his heart... help him to not only be able to differentiate right from wrong, but to stand up for what is right. it's tempting when money comes into the picture... but i pray you'll make it impossible for him to go on in his wrong doings... please Lord.
i dont think he is a christian.. but i know you can soften even the hardest of hearts. so Lord, i pray tt w each day, tt ur love n grace will be revealed to him... thru laoshi, thru ur grace in her life, thru her friends, thru the few christians tt joe will come across... i pray tt you'd use these pple to show joe how much you love him. how you are the one n only God. tt he cannot do without you.
please Lord.
Lord, you also know the difficulties laoshi is going thru.. the pressure tt's put on her... the emotions tt she may feel at times... i pray for ur peace in her heart. please help her know tt you are in full control. it may be hard to see ur hand... but i pray tt no matter what, she will be able to know ur heart. "God works in all things for the good of those who love Him." Amen! thank you for this Lord... your great, unconditional love for us.
alrighty Father... on to someone else...

LOVE.

hmm, sunday's sermon by the new pastor was abt love.
"If someone forces you to go one mile with him, go with him two mile."
Love those who love you.
Love those who are lovable.
Love those who are kind n nice.
Love those who are like you.
Love those who are easy to love.
Ultimately... ...
Love those who are difficult to love.
Love those who are different from you.
Love those who hate you.
Love those who do harm unto you.
Love those who are not nice n kind.

Lord... it's so hard.
i'm mean.. a slanderer, a gossiper, a fishmonger, a rudie, a pokai sai person.
please help me each day.
though i may fail many times over, please Father, help me.

well, i pray tmr will be a day of studying n doing tutorials. i know the morning will be fun as i'd be going to bukit timah hill! =) havent been there in ages. maybe i'll go for kymn's granddad's wake n have dinner w may lin. hmm, please help me to manage my time properly. you know the amount of work i've to do. my exams are in 5 weeks!!!

i pray i'd have time for 3 swims this week... it's the only thing tt keeps me going... fighting... gives me confidence. a sense of achievement. yet another mental battle fought. makes me stronger.
however Lord, i pray for the alertness to study n understand n remember all i've done. i pray i would be nice to pple who seem to be so selfish.

i pray especially, that i'd stand up for what is right. even if it doesnt concern me, i pray for the boldness to stand up n speak up. the other day mich n annalisa were talking abt doing something i knew was wrong... cant remember what exactly now... was it a lie they intended to tell?
all i did was to sit there n listen. i didnt say anything!!! annalisa is a Christian... but i just didnt dare to. afraid they'd see me as one who wasnt fun-loving or whatever.
i pray Your word will be like FIRE IN MY BONES Lord! i pray tt it will ignite tt sense of justice in me. i pray i'll be able to stand up for You.

CNY

CNY!
hmm, Lord you know the guilt i feel abt not studying yest.. n only doing like 6 pages of endocrine this aftnn.
tv.. a major distraction. i have to discipline myself more now tt the exams are in 5 weeks.
wells, yest, i made a new fren =) zubaida.. hope i spelt tt correctly. haha. funny how we met at the bus stop. never seen her in the lt before!!!
haha
hmm, i didnt get any nw clothes this year... but you think i should wear tt red dress tmr? tho my swimsuit mark will be seen?
hmm, i'm off to bed. nite Jesus.
i pray you protect all my friends... n allow them to enjoy this new year. lunar new year.
may i please you in all tt i do. n help me to reach out to the pple around me who needs it most.
AMEN!

unjustified.

hey Lord... let's talk abt the recent pbl. i didnt go for the lecture style pbl... only to be handed so much work to do. it doesnt help tt andrew only wants to take 1 out of the 6 points. n he thinks that's a lot n it's super fair. who asked me to ask him to choose in the first place??? n who asked me to agree?
well, i just think tt if i didnt, i would be in the wrong... or selfish. but i suppose pple these days are thick skinned... n would do whatever it takes to benefit themselves.
Father, teach me how to handle these situations better... please grant me ur wisdom. i hate being mean... but it upsets me when pple are like tt. so how now brown cow?
well, the other day something triggered my memory of the past. it stung. you know.. so please help me close this whole issue? somehow? it's been like tt for a long while. either things change or let's just forget it. i need to know which is it!
wells, let's see. beauty comes from a quiet n gentle spirit. not outward adornment or jewelry. i want tt spirit Lord. i want to be a living testimony of Your love n grace. please shine thru me.. so pple ard can feel ur presence n know that yes! you are the one n only true God. You rock Lord!!!
haha... pastor b set up a ttb shrine. i thot that was rather touching... haha =) thanks Lord for how you've used him to touch the lives of some many pple... esp the youths in our church. we sure miss him.
wells, i studied today for abt 4 hours... but it was so measely.. the number of pages i covered. i guess anat's like that. thing is, i dont know what is impt n what isnt. there's just too many details! but that is how you created us Lord. we were so specially n carefully crafted tt every part of our human body is enough to cry out "how great is my Lord!" dont need to 7 wonders of the world to do just that... taking a look at myself is enough.
i pray tt i will forever be grateful to you n the many things you've done for me. may i never ever take any of these forgranted... cos i dont even deserve any of this in the first place.
Lord, thank you for choosing me. for reaching out to me. n for giving me all you've given me. for making me who i am. let me live my life in such a way tt every word i say.. everything i do... iit's bring glory n honor to you alone.

help me remember this...
I live for an audience of ONE. that's You Lord.

speak to me as i read exodus now... continuing from how you led the israelites out of egypt.
nite Lord. hold the weather for me to swim n study hard tmr =)
i want to love you... with all i am.
Amen.

relieved!

Hey Lord, thanks for the better week that has just passed. at least i managed to get a little more studying in.. catch up a little though i'm still lagging behind. i even managed to swim n play squash! how cool is that?

hmm... something i gotta thanks you for. today, dorothy came to ttb as planned.. n we kinda had a mini quarrel ove rwhich class she should join. You know my heart, my good intentions, my fears... you know it all. i dont know why, but it comes out all wrong when i relate to my sister. anyway, she joined the sec 2s n was very grouchy n upset abt it. i was so afraid she's cry aft the whole thing n we'd fight again... btu wow!!! Lord, she actually was fine w it! said it was better than last week's!!!
thanks Lord!
