Anyong. Goodbye. Adios <3 

I want to be someone succesful! xD Why? What does Success really mean? =/

SUCCESS. 
is it money? family? good grades? good job? fame? being awesome? ruling the world? marrying someone rich? being a doctor? being a priest? travelling around the world? winning?

Success 
= 
Obedience + Faithfulness 

=
 Success

Jeremiah Chapter ONE!
" Do not say 'I am too young.' " 
"You must go to everyone i send you to and say whatever I command you to."
" Do not be afraid"
" I am with you and will rescue you"


Suffering is a part of life. The only way we learn and truly grow, is when we SUFFER and OVERCOME that suffering. Know that we cant do it alone, you can try and of course, we'd like to think that it's better if we give it a try first right? if we dont depend on anyone, we can be strong on our own two feet. God thinks otherwise though. He WANTS us to depend on Him because there are some things we just caaaaant overcome on our own, that's why they're such things called Suffering and Challenges. KNOW that we're not alone. God's hand is always there, ready to hold, ready to help.

God is our Father and 
What do Fathers do?



They look out for you, protect you, care for you, looooove you unconditionally.

Dont be afraid to ask him for help. Why are you afraid?
If you go to your parents and tell them you're hungry, what will they do?
They'll give you a loaf of bread coz they dont want you starving to death!
so! Do not fear, my dear siblings,  
We are God's Children and 
God, Our Father, will provide and teach us along the way.

Here's a 'new' word to learn for the day peepos!

-> CONSECRATE <-
to declare or Set Apart As Sacred.



The question is, 

Will you do it? 
Can you do it?
If you think you're not ready, 
WHEN will you ever be ready?

Will you consecrate
 YOUR LIFE 
to a blank contract from God,
you dont know what will happen or
where your life will take you.

The only thing you can cling on to is, 
your faith and hope in believing that whatever it is, it will be okay. 

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity.[b]
Jer 29

HAHA retards (:


GOD. WILL. BE. THERE. FOR. ME.
I WILL BE OKAY.
THIS WILL BE AN AWESOME JOURNEY WITH GOD.
WITH GOD.



19 They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. - Jer 1

See?
Our journey with God is not meant to be easy, 
said the Bible [=
xx


I Cant Predict The Future. But would i want to know what my future looks like?

Our past influences our future. 

Imagine you're like a normal tiiineh grain of sand, amongst all the other grains of sand. Watch this video and keep reading hehe!


9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1: 9

If you place yourself in the hands of an Awesome creator, Amazing things can happen.
Our Awesome Creator has a great plan for you and me and everyone else, only if we allow Him to work in us. Are you ready for it to happen?

That is all MWAHAHA. 
pretty straight forward yesh? ;]

God can take the Ordinary 
and change it to 
something EXTRAordinary!
(have faith my fellow cupcakes! ^^)


tadaa! like this Jewish fella! 
WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN LOOOLL (: (:
*applause!!*
something ordinary into something extraordinary. 

Then we were asked to plan out a Timeline of our Life, kind of like a time of Reflection. Here were the questions asked. What does your Life Timeline look like? o_O

List these out 
- Major Events in Your life, both good and bad.
- Times you fondly remember.
- Times you wish to forget.

Good : Being a part of people's life. It's an incredible feeling to know that you can make a difference in their life. that you matter, that you've impacted their journey; that you've been in a chapter of their story. oh hello there hehe! (: (:


(God feels like that too. Our Father should be the center of our life. just as WE are, 
the apple of His eye. )



Bad : When i've lost or drifted away from my loved ones or those close to me; be it through death or lost of touch, it hurts when i walk pass them on the streets and go " hey i once used to know him/her, but now we're like strangers of a different world.. coz we've drifted. Just like that ._."


(imagine how God feels about those who's parted and drifted from him :'( 
them who were once and still IS, His Children. )


Fond memories : When we celebrate Chinese New Year or Birthdays, or Parents' Day. That's why we celebrate them! To remember and make them a day like no other! ;]


(always thank God for Jesus' birth, for without Jesus, 
who else dyou know, 
who's holy and pure, 
who'd save US from our sin?)


Bad memories: Times when i felt so lost, when my world seemed to be falling apart .. over the littlest things that now seem so unimportant. 
Back then, my world 'crashed and burned'
over my addiction to Anime during dinner, 
over my Frustration of not being able to go for Dancing lessons while i was still young and flexible, 
over my Embarrassment when all eyes turned to me whenever i was placed in the spotlight, 
over my Anger of not being able to hang out with my friends because they ALL live so far away, or rather, i lived far faar away from everyone else. 
over my Negativity towards my ownself, 
over my Disappointment in my own Weaknesses. 


(That's why in the Bible, 
God keeps reminding us to not be attached to EARTHLY things. 
Money CanT buy us happiness and
Money is also the Root of all Sins.
Clothes and other superficial materialistic things here on earth are of 
NO VALUE 
when we enter God's kingdom that lasts forever; 
for eternity.)

so What do you think your Journey means? 
What is its reason?

Looking back, i am glad everything happened or didnt happen. All these events pointed me towards God, stressing that it's important to abide by His word and commandments, so i can find peace and joy IN Him.
These were all done to mould and shape me, 
to get me ready for whenever He shall use me (:

Always remember that,


Whatever that's happened in the past, 
has shaped the Person You've become today.

What are we. Why are we here. What do you want from us.

We are made for the same purpose.

1. For God's Pleasure.
[2Cor 3: 1-5] 
Verse 1-4: "Father of compassion" " God of all comfort " ".. who comforts us in all our troubles " " so that we can comfort those in any trouble "
verse 5 : We shouldnt receive all the credits of being competant because our competence comes from God.

We MUST rely on God and His strength to find our purpose in life. Relying only on our gifts and talents to serve Him isnt enough, we must go deeper than that and worship God, our Creator and Provider, for His many blessings and love.


2. For His Glory
Like David in Psalm 57: Even amongst his fears and turmoils, David still talks about praising and glorifying God. 
Praise the Lord at ALL times, praise him when you're happy, praise him when you're sad and angry because he controls all things. There IS a reason to why you're going through, what you're going through. And always remember, no matter how hard it seems to overcome this trial or challenge, God will pull you through whatever He puts you through. He'll NEVER forsake you coz He is your FATHER, and YOU are, His CHILD.


3. For His Purpose
[Gen 1:28] " be fruitful and increase in number " " fill the earth and subdue it "
Subdue = Overcome.
[Matt 28: 18-20] " go and make disciples of all nation " " teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you " " surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age "

Listen to God's promise. 
When God promises something, He STICKS to it. like a REAL MAN! YEAAAAABOI! =D
So we need to care about the things around us because it's where we have to overcome and tell the people about God's love. To save them before Jesus comes back.


4. For His Delight
[Romans 12: 1-2] " your bodies " " holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship " " Do not conform to the pattern of this world " 
[1 Corinthians 6: 12-20] " The body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord " "Whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in Spirit." " Flee from sexual immorality " "You are not your own, you were bought at a price " "Therefore honour God with your bodies "

Stand your ground and know what's right or wrong. Even if you dont know if it's right or wrong, ask yourself. Is this what God wants you to do? how about Jesus, His son. What would Jesus do.


5. Its Not About You
[1 Peter 3] " your beauty should not come from outward adornment " "rather it should be that of your inner self " " unfading beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit " " of great worth in God's sight " 

it's what's INSIDE that really matters, LOOK WITHIN. 
we should also learn to accept ourselves as God's wonderful creation because if we cant accept ourselves, how are we gonna find out what our purpose in life is?? 
Look at yourself in the mirror and tell God in all seriousness " 
Thank You for creating Me (:
