Weariness.

"Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us fo good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith." - Galatians 6:9

Thank God for friends. Friends who give you words of encouragement to keep the faith, and run the race. My friends who are working in Singapore now, a lovely couple just last week sent me some wonderful little things with words of encouragement. And i feel so grateful for their friendship. God is definitely using them, and im blessed to have such friends :). Because sometimes i just feel so tired. And sometimes i wonder why i am doing what i am doing, and why i have to do certain things. Sometimes it really gets tiring trying to always give your best. Knowing that you'll always fail somehow.. :(

Lord, be my strength this coming week, help me in accomplishing the things which you set for me to do, because i am taking on new responsibilities now, while maintaining the ones i already have. I pray that somehow I'll learn more about what you want me to learn. Give me strength to be patient, to be kind and to be helpful and to love. Help me to stay calm when things get tough, and to see to the situation with wisdom. Thank you Lord. I really do need you.. I can't do life without.

Because i really am feeling tired. about everything. work, waiting, life in general.

Thank you Lord for always sustaining me and showing me you care.

I fail more often than i think i do, humble me, please be my courage and teach me to react and deal with things in ways which it would please you. Amen.

May this coming week be one whereby i see you brightly taking control of my troubles. amen.

sluggardness.

Sometimes i just feel like keeping myself. not doing anything. like an apple sitting in the fridge, just chilling it.. haha.

Anyway that's not the way to live. Im on break now, so hence the want to recuperate. Rest is good :) But when duty calls, its important to get of my butt and see to the need. Some verses popped up in mind.

"For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." - Matthew 16:25

"The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!" or, "I will be murdered in the streets!" - Proverbs 22:13 niv


"The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!" - Proverbs 26:13 niv

I feel that sometimes i am so prone to giving excuses to not do something because i am lazy or so and give in to saying, oh because its going to be dangerous. this might happen, that might happen, yada yada imagination goes wild. But then when you read the verses up there, you just get reminded, ' my life is in God's hands, I am secure.' And for me see the need to be obedient to doing good, where you are able to contribute, serve, be a light c: 

"And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises." - Hebrew 6:11-12

So whenever you can be a light do not hid under a bushel :D hahaha! :) 

peace.

rest.

" Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light. " 
- Matthew 11: 28 - 30


My Father will give me rest.
And i shall find rest in my Father's arms.

word.

" In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence,
And His children will have a place of refuge.
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
To turn one away from the snares of death. " - Proverbs 14:26

A midst all the busyness and cares of life. It is always good to have a cup of the living water. Drawing unto God's word that is just comforting and light. I am so thankful for everything. Though at times, i feel that it is during the times of waiting, of trail and difficulties that i draw nearer to the Lord. During the storm. Because during easy times, during times of blue skies, it is somewhat easy to fall asleep, to drift away, to not be bothered about spending time with God, because life is good and so the focus drifts on the bothers of this life. But how necessary it is. How necessary it is to draw upon the living water. To be close to God's reality of life. To be reminded of what is required of us lest we forget. 

Time to wake up.

And spend more time with the Father.

:)

I wish this for you too.
