Hey hey new post today

It has been more than a year since i posted my last blogpost. OH MY WHAT A DEAD BLOG.

So i think i'll start blogging again. I don't know. Facebook is not a very strategic place to rant because everyone is gonna see it. No one reads this blog anyway so might as well make full use of it rant. It is the one place i can be myself anyway.

I graduated high school! It was tough and not smooth going at all. Heck, it sucked. I hated my senior year. Messed up like crazy. But it's all behind me now. New year, new beginning, new resolutions, new life. College is starting in March so i hope that goes well.

New Years Resolutions:
1) Drink more water
2) Run more often.
3) Be more disciplined.
4) Study harder.
5) Sleep earlier.
6) Eat healthier.
7) Do more charity work.
8) Don't worry so much.
9) Be more confident in being myself.
10) Improve time management.

Typical resolutions but pray that i stick to them.

OMG did you know that i love charlieissocoolike?

Riding Out the Storm



Imagine the scene: a small fishing boat tossed like a bottle in the churning waves. The fishermen fear they will be swamped at any minute. Do you blame them for being afraid? And yet Jesus asks them, "Where is your faith?"

This is probably not the question that disciples would have expected in the middle of a terrifying storm. But Jesus had a point to prove. It was all about where the disciples were looking at the waves instead of Jesus.

Your Father wants you to trust Him in the midst of the tempest, when it seems that the hurricane will sweep your home out to sea and when the gale is about to flood your tiny boat.

When storms begin to test your strength, do not be ashamed of being afraid. Jesus' disciples were afraid, and they had Jesus with them in the boat! Learn from them and take a moment to ask yourself, "Where is my faith?" Have you put your faith in your own abilities or in another person, so that suddenly it seems shaky and on the verge of collapse? Relax! You can ride out the storm. You have Jesus in your boat.

Today, remember that when storms blow into your life, your Father, who has power over wind and waves, will protect you. Have faith. Your Father is with you in the storm. He will bring calm.


This is from quiet reflections of Hope page 140.

'Then he got up and ordered the wind and the waves to stop. The wind stopped, and the sea became calm. He asked them, "where is your faith?"'
Luke 8:24-25

New Every Morning

Compassion is a profound, active emotion. It has inspired people through the ages to fund hospitals, mission trips, communities damaged from weather and programs for the needy children. Compassion for the lost inspires missionaries to forsake their own desires and live among those with whom they hope to share the gospel. Compassion shows love and care even in the dark times.

This verse in Lamentations appears in the center of a book filled with tears. Jeremiah lamented the destruction of the city of Jerusalem by foreign invaders, an event that occurred because Israel had turned away from God and destruction came just as God had warned. Yet even through this dark time, Jeremiah knew that God's compassion was not limited by the people's sin and disobedience. They could turn back to God and He would return to them. His faithfulness is great.

Every morning you receive a fresh, unlimited supply of His compassion. Isn't it exciting that you can count on your Heavenly Father to be dependable and compassionate? This morning is your new opportunity to pass on compassion to your family, friends, neighbors and yes, even the unloving or unlovable people in life.

The world will be better today because of God's compassion given to the world through you.

His compassion is never limited.
It is new every morning. His faithfulness is great.
Lamentations 3:22-23

Oh, hello.





Okay so half of the holidays have passed. And i haven't had time at all to do holiday stuff or even feel the holiday mood.

What has happened to me ==

Before school ended, i was running around school doing work every single day, didn't even step a foot in class. Then, the private tutors decided to go on a teaching frenzy with me. That equals to a heap of homework. Then, music camp started. Just finished the music camp that lasted nearly a week. 10am to 10.30pm everyday. Bugger. Then, my private tutors decided to go crazy again. Then, my mum decided to nag at me for being too free the entire holidays i've spent. What???????? And i'm leaving Malaysia soon. So much to do, so little time! D:

Two of my best friends came back to Malaysia. One from America for leadership camp and the other from Australia. Been nearly two weeks now and i still haven't had time to see them. :( Really dreading my last 2 month school holidays of my life.

And when i finally had a day off a few weeks ago and i decided to go out with my friends for the second time this whole year, my mum started nagging and said i went to EVERY SINGLE ONE of the bff outings and i didn't even miss one. WTH? I seriously need a drivers license and a car ASAP otherwise i'd end up with a nervous breakdown and i'll thank my mum for that. But, God said honor your parents. It's so hard to honor my mum when she's nagging all the time, throwing tantrums at everyone, mood swinging every second and letting anger off at me since this year started. This is why i have my Lord with me.

And i just realized this is my first blogpost in forever.

What are blogs for anyway? Gosh. I have to start blogging more to answer that for myself.

The System

Okay so picture this.

Every book has an assigned place in the library. Each novel, be it science fiction, biography has its own numbering that tells the librarian where it should be put. And each shelf, holds different genre's and specific books in a specific order. Without organization, a library would be in total chaos - books strewn everywhere. So without a system, books would be of no use to people for no one would ever find what they need. Organzation makes all that information easy to find and available.

So imagine the universe, without organization. The earth orbiting in whatever speed in whatever orbit, leaving some of us to freeze and others to scorch. Or what if the seasons came and went in whatever order they wanted, whenever they wanted? What if you never knew when spring, summer or fall would follow winter - or whether winter would come at all? Fortunately for us, God has it all planned for us. God has a system of organization. He has precisely designated the location of each star and the calculated the rotations of each planet. In the midst of this system, he has "assigned a place for the dawn".

If God can keep the entire universe in such an order, surely He can help you handle your day ;) Just like an extremely well organized library, nothing goes amiss with Him in charge. Sip your coffee, watch the sun rise and let Him take care of the order of your life.
