Grateful heart

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

What a beautful verse. You are so good.
Who am I do even do the simpliest thing? Who am I to even exist? The more i know you, the more i feel i don't deserve your love...Yet you said, "I can do all things through Christ who stengthens me." Thank you Lord, you are such a wonderful God.

Father, Because of your love, I exist.. I have life because of your grace, indeed, you are awesome.Having five senses is just another expression of your great love..to see, to smell, to taste, to hear, to touch. Body, mind, soul. One can't live without another, the hole in our heart filled by God's Spirit is the final touch to complete a person.. thank you God for everything. .
You are the reason for my being. .everyone needs this final touch to complete his/her life.. come to Jesus..He can be your best friend..

Camps. Friends coming together to make it happen.
Thanking everyone for your sweet labours..Youths, you are a blessing & encouragment! =)
Amazing God who worked in both camps. Such a joy to be a part of your work..Life is all about you. Your grace is sufficient. Indeed, God is always in control and on the throne, He desires to make Himself known throughout the world. Not in vain, not at all, God works, all the time. Lift up your eyes, praise Him for everything. You are so awesome my father.

Process versus product? It just dawned on me with this thought that process of getting to the final destination is much much more important than the completion of any product. Processes of doing things, responses, so many other areas which make up the products just reflects the nature of self and the refining stages our father desires us to have. .climbing mountains and reaching the mountain top, memories in climbing the mountain beats the few seconds of beholding the glory at the top of the peak. What a thought the Lord places in my mind. .=) The process is so so important as part of the growing stage.. We need to grow daily. .no matter how old.. growth is irregardless of age and time. .growth in Him in process is a beautiful thing as a seed progresses into a plant with flowers and fruits. "Be not weary in well-doing, for in due season you shall reap if you faint not." =)

God is awesome. All the time.

God never fails. He is awesome. =)
Thank God for you who serves, who loves, who prays.
Keep doing what you are doing, knowing that in all you do, you do it for God, He will remember. This is what it matters. "Love never fails." Keep loving, keep trusting, take the high road, and be a blessing! =)

I love you all! Thanks for everything.. =)
HUGGSSS.

Books =)

Read alot of books these days =) ...currently on Numbers in His word.
Need your understanding to read, Lord.

Read "God as He longs for us to see" by Chip Ingram, "The passion" by Greg Laurie, "The attributes of God" by AW Tozer, currently on "Brokenness" by Nancy de Moss, really thank God for all these books and the many things He taught me, and shown me...Just finished reading "Somebody's else Kids" by Torey Hayden yesterday.

Hayden's book "Somebody else's kids"
Enjoyed reading Torey Hayden's book, going to get "beautiful child" when i am well .. =)
Really inspired by her devotion and passion in her simplicity to make things work no matter how hard it may seems,seeing hope in each and every child no matter how difficult it is.. and her being a tremendous impact at the end of it all... The journey into her world of passion in impacting under-privilege kids,special needs kids and mainly those in broken families being abused simply blows my mind off...What a wonderful blessing she is. Truely thank God for her..

Her style of writing is beautiful as well, intelligent, poetic and always bringing readers into the world of hers with deep intensity...Humourous, heart lifting moments never fail to bring a smile to readers..
A must read for all teachers and kids lovers..
Inspiring, heart warming, encouraging, yet brings readers back to the reality of life many times, one of those who truely earn respect...*claps. and claps.*

Reading through this book brings me back to God once again, thinking how great God is to place different people at different places, time, just for a purpose. How awesome He is to instill love in certain individuals just to fulfill the purposes at that right time.
Uttered prayers for this dear author Hayden many times as i read her book,praying someone will bring her the gospel which everyone of us need...
Yes Lord, we need you. I need you God.

"God's love is his holy disposition toward all that he has created that compels him to express unconditional affection and selective correction to provide the highest quality of experience,both now and forever,for the object of His love."
-Chip Ingram

Indeed, God is love, always showing affection to us as we are the object of His love. How many times we fail to see His hand of love and affection to us and forget to thank Him for His goodness. It dawned on me once again the goodness of God to place Torey Hayden in the lives of many young ones to be an impact to them, simply rescuing them in the utter darkness of their lives at that certain point of time...

"Love never fails."

Jesus Christ, the only hope....The source of Love from God.
YES, really thrilled as i read one of her kids she impacted accepted Jesus as her Saviour during her adulthood!! Hayden taught this girl named Lori and showed care and concern when no one seems to care....Lori is an adult now...
And she is proclaiming Christ and serving Him with a family of her own at this point of time! =)
Thank you for your goodness, Lord.

Hayden currently lives and writes in North Wales...
Dear God, please bless and keep her.

"For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son,that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."-John3:16

Thank you God.

Encouragement =)

"A pinch of praise is worth a pound of scorn. A dash of encouragement is more helpful than a dipper of pessimism.A cup of kindness is better than a cupboard of criticism."-William Arthur

"A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success"
-Unknown

"There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend."
- Katherine Butler Harthaway
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life is full of ups and downs, what matters most at the end of it all?
did we respond in the right manner to people, situations, tasks and demands of life?
Did we do our best for truth.. did we encourage people along our way who may seem to be the least importance to our "to-do-list", did we encourage people to love and to love the one who love us the most-GOD.

Word of encouragement. Indeed, a soft answer turneth away wrath.
Let us learn and be encouraging cause you won't know what your word of kindness does to the soul of a wounded friend or person. =)
Hurtful words can tear down, encouraging words can build up....

which one will you choose?

I need you Lord.
By your grace, help me with the latter one.

smiles of young ones

smiles of young ones.

What amazing God we have. The young tender hearted ones never fails to warm the hearts of many, including those who may seemed aloof, naturally smiles when the sweetness of a child came forth from just a smile or touch or just being who he or she is...

Working with children daily is a challenge, with the consistent reminder to strike a balance between being firm yet gentle, loving and disciplining, playing vs being serious....at the end of it all, physically,emotionally,intellectually and socially, can be draining for both parties if not handled in the correct manner..working with children drives me closer to the Lord each time, needing that patience, correction, teaching and most importantly-Love.
Balance is the key, but the motive of all we do must come from the great source---LOVE.

"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."-2Cor13

Indeed, love never fails.

Beautiful Lord.

Not because of who i am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what i've done
But because of who you are...

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapour in the wind

Still you hear me when i'm calling
Lord you catch me when i'm falling
And you told me who i am
I am yours...
I am yours...

Thank you Lord..
=)
