I have been reading alot lately, and my reading materials span is extreme varieties. I'm just reading stufff... Reading some stuff is really a waste of time, but I'm feeling like a massive information absorbing machine of some sort, and just reading on and on random stuff, whether they are seriously beneficial or not.

On a good note, I did read useful stuff too, that is thought-provoking and makes me react with my "ahhhh-ing". I can say, the christian articles I have read can be really convicting yet I have allowed them to just brush off. It's just a "argh" moment then I move on doing what I am doing.

2 really GOOD websites for christian articles/forums/etc

The Rebelution

Heard about the rebelution website from Grace and checked it out, and it's really good! And I totally agree with whatever they are writing about on the site, regarding how teenagers nowadays are falling way short of what they can do, and that we have treated "adolescence" as a vacation from responsibilities. The Rebelution is basically about teenagers rebelling against low expectations. In their own words, "rebelling against rebellion", which I think is really cool. Their vision is also to encourage teenagers everywhere "to do hard things", which thinking about it, is really great, yet, HARD! (yes that's the whole point, doing hard things) It's about challenging ourselves and going against society's low expectations for youths.

It's crazy. I think we all have a rooted mentality that you know we'll all gonna be this great person doing great things especially for God when we grow up. And well, I do dream alot, but I'm 19! And I'm considered grown up, considering I have a part-time job, am attending university and have an IC. I'm grown up enough...

Honestly, I do feel indignant somehow, because the people that started this website are the same age as me! Reading what they are doing and what I am doing... It's like ?!?!?! I'm not saying that I want to go preach to crowds of thousands or hold conferences like them, that is totally beyond me, but yes, I can do more than what I am doing right now. I shall be "provoked to good works" and be provoked more.

Guilty of being a sloth, seriously addicted to media, and a lack of self-discipline, my number one HARD thing is being a good manager of time. ok, and that is SERIOUSLY HARD... to begin with, the hard thing to do today shall be to go to bed when I reach home. (it's ridiculous why I'm even struggling with this, I knoww...)

If you haven't check out the website, fyi, it's started by the twin brothers of Joshua Harris, the guy who wrote "I Kiss Dating Goodbye". They are 19 and have written the book "Do Hard Things" (if I'm not wrong that's their first book and they have another book coming up), they have held conferences and go on radio stations for interviews or some sort of morning talk show. And that is all so cool!


Ninety and Nine

I chanced upon this website while googling. It's more of a weekly online newsletter, has some really good articles and it's also apostolic! It's really really cool I think to read and see names of people you know coming up. It makes me go, "AH I KNOW THIS PERSON!" They recently had an interview with Bro John Wolfram, one of our preacher for LTD 07, who was also an US Navy SEAL.

They also welcome submissions of articles, so all those who love to write and have a story/testimony to tell, go submit your article!


I'm not a fantastic writer, in fact I tend to ramble more on incoherent thoughts that run through my mind, so this is my small attempt at writing properly. There is more things to write about, but I shall stop for now and return to my textbooks!


God bless.

GOD IS SOOOO GOOODD!!!
I have been like telling this to like dunno how many people today!
HAHAHAHA.
But He is GOOD!
The number of 'good' I say doesn't justify His goodness!
wahahahaha.

I am in total highness I tell you today!
And yesterday's School of the Spirit is like SERIOUSLY nosebleed!
nosebleed as in potent...
hahahaha.
like still bleeding now kind.
It's like every minute there's revelation kind,
and I was listening like waiting for what's Bishop Wright is going to say next, or what's the point he is bringing across.
The Word of God is seriously AMAZING!
Infallible!

if you have any tinge of curiosity,
I say check out tabjoy.org - tabjoy tv.
not sure if they're uploading it, but nevertheless

His faithfulness to me is like to sun that rises every morning.

=)

Mission I will WIN!

I am more than a conqueror!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

I am no longer a captive but set free!

My source is Jesus Christ!

The joy of the Lord is my strength!

Even if pushing the mountain doesn't move it, I get stronger at the end of it.

Guarding my heart.

Protecting my treasure.

Running the race.

Fighting the battle.

Living the faith.

I've got the power!!!

In Jesus' Name!

I have finally packed my shoe rack and clear out my worn out beloved comfy shoes.
so here's the photo to bid them farewell.
and yea! I shall buy new shoes! I didn't know I would be throwing away so many pairs.
but they are seriously really worn out. hahaha.
NEW SHOES SOON! =DDD

hahahahaha!

Bought a recipe book recently titled "Brunches"
when I first laid my eyes on the book, i immediately felt the connection! LOL!!!
cause I don't eat breakfast, nor do I eat lunch.
I have brunches everyday!!!

the book is SO ME. just got to have it! =DDD
plus, the ingredients inside were easy to get, like almost most of them are already in my fridge so I just have to take them out and cook. No need to purposely go buy them. Very suitable for lazy people like me... heh.

The above picture is an ideal brunch! =D
It's baked eggs with cheese.

There's bread and ham with the eggs and the top is layered with cheese. =)))
And brunches wouldn't be a balance meal without fruits or veg,
so I made banana milkshake!

I LOVE BANANA MILKSHAKE!

(my school mates can testify! LOL! =D)

the only problem with the meal (in the picture) that I had,

was that I ate it at 8pm.

sooooo... it's ideal brunch at a totally not brunch time. LOL.

so it's dunch?

I made friends in school that loves to cook and bake.

(and this is the number I dunno what time I'm saying this... =))

Their cooking is totally is a level higher than me. hahaha.

that made me wanna cook and bake more! lol.

I finally found out the original song of the instrumental piece I have been listening to since forever!
I listen it in my office almost everyday (and I only play 2 songs on repeat) and nowadays I play it before I sleep cause it helps me sleep!
I listen to it when I have headaches too. and it helps. hahahaha.

but after listening to the original singing version. I still think the instrumental is nicer.
=D

Here's the original singing version:




Here's the instrumental version:

My Everything - Rachel Milstead

HaYehudim v Melech HaNaZarei Yeshua

Who here among us has not been broken
Who here among us is without guilt or pain
So oft’ abandoned by our transgressions
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

There are no strangers
There are no outcasts
There are no orphans of God
So many fallen, but hallelujah
There are no orphans of God

Come ye unwanted and find affection
Come all ye weary, come and lay down your head
Come ye unworthy, you are my brother
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

O blessed Father, look down upon us
We are Your children, we need Your love
We run before Your throne of mercy
And seek Your face to rise above

Out of boredom one night and lack of ideas to do sth dumb.
I decided to attempt to take a photo of myself and my beloved purple wall.

This excerpt is just for fun:

And just when I was thinking, being a photographer and a baker is such a weird combination, but I guess somehow, they can still be linked together. HAHA

"Modern photography is as diverse as the bakery selections at Panera - and just as much fun to indulge in. But where the bakery goods can make you plump, photography can make you prosperous."

HAHAHA. =DDD
soooo, I'll get plump and prosperous? LOL. they kind of can mean the same thing...
NO! I'M GOING TO EXERCISE! LIKE SERIOUSLY!
(going for my 4th jog this yr! hahaha record breaking!) LOL.

I am wanting to blog abt LTD, put some photos or something at the same time, but haven't get to sit down and do it exactly yet. I think the more I wait the lower the chances of me doing it.
sooo arrrr, SEE HOW la.


just thinking:
what does being an entrepreneur for God exactly mean...

Many a question, many a fear,
Many a doubt hath its quieting here.
Moment by moment, let down from heaven,
Time, opportunity, guidance are given.
Fear not tomorrows, child of the King -
Trust them with Jesus. Do the next thing!


From the book "Secure in the Everlasting Arms"
by Elizabeth Elliot.

and I guess my next thing to do is to sleep.
