A ReflectionYesterday was my last day of class in uni. This morning, as I sat in the roof garden, I started to reflect on the past 4 years. Tough as they have been, I had many things to thank God for. An excerpt from my journal:"As I think back on my past 4 years, I can truly be thankful that God has always been with me. As I go through the past few years of my life, the poignant thing that

"My soul clings to You;Your right hand upholds me."-Psalms 63:8Last year, during the Alpha day away, we stood and watched monkeys walk across the fence for awhile. As the tribe walked along the fence, someone exclaimed that there were baby monkeys hanging onto their mothers. It took me some time to spot them, but eventually I did. There they were, clinging on tightly to their mother's stomachs.

On guidance..." But the true way to honour the Holy Spirit as our guide is to honour the Holy Scriptures through which He guides us. The fundamental guidance which God gives to shape our lives - the instilling, that is, of the basic convictions, attitudes, ideals and value-judgements, in terms of which we are to live - is not a matter of inward promptings apart from the Word but of the pressure

"An idol can be anything. It may even be a good thing. But if we want it so badly that we sin if we don't get it or sin to attain it, then we are worshipping an idol rather than Christ. Each of us is worshipping something or someone within our heart every waking moment of each day.... We worship what we "serve, speak about, sacrifice for, seek after, spend time and money on, and trust in". In

On the discipline of possessions..."The first lesson is that things are given by God...Make no mistake, my friends. All good giving, every perfect gift, comes from above, from the Father of the lights of heaven....The second lesson is that things are given us to be received with thanksgiving....We should be thankful.

"Discipline is the believer's answer to God's call. It is the recognition, not of the solution to his problems or the supply of his needs, but of mastery. God addresses us. We are responsible- that is, we must make a response. We may choose to say yes and thus fulfill the Creator's glorious purpose for us, or we may say no and violate it. This is what is meant by moral responsibility. God calls

While looking for past youth photos to feast my eyes on (yes, i know i should be mugging hard), I chanced upon this Bible Brain Busters book which someone gave my brother awhile back. It's a good youth resource, because the way it puts forth Bible trivia is very interesting. My brother and I spent some time testing each other and had an incredible amount of fun. Here's one example from just one

"If God wants you to trust Him, He puts you in a place of difficulty. If He wants you to trust Him greatly, He puts you in a place of impossibility. For when a thing is impossible, then we who are so prone to move things by the force of our own being can say, 'Lord, it has to be you. I am utterly, absolutely nothing.'

Offer yourselves completely to God'"So," Paul says "take your body; take all the tasks that you have to do every day; take the ordinary work of the shop, the office, the factory, the shipyard, the mine; and offer all that as an act of worship to God..."True worship is the offering to God of one's body and all that one does every day with it. Real worship is not the offering to God of a liturgy,

"Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!Bowing before Him, His glory proclaim;With gold of obedience and incense of lowlinessKneel and adore Him; the Lord is His Name.Fear not to enter His presence in povertyBearing no gifts to present as your ownBring truth in its beauty and love in its purityThese are the offerings to lay at His throne."

'Because this trait is so interdependent on created man, a godly woman must "find a man who commands her respect and wins her love; to please, be beautiful for, desired and cherished by such a man."'Haha, this is only two lines out of the whole article. To read the rest of it, go to boundless and look for "Becoming a godly woman".

It wasn't until last night after BSF that I decided to go and look up the hymn story behind "The Church's One Foundation". And it's amazing to discover the richness of the whole thing, the emotion Samuel J. Stone experienced then to write such beautiful lyrics.It was during that period that major religious differences arose amonng Anglican clerics in both England and South Africa, and the Church

What a day!I spent my Science of Music lecture this morning trying to wrestle my gmail account away from a would-be hacker, who turned out to be my dad. He thought my gmail inbox was in the hard-drive of the laptop I just handed over to him. So there went my whole inbox, trashed right into cyberbin. After that, in a bid to get the exclamation mark key on my laptop to work again, I spent 45

We celebrated my grandfather's 82nd birthday just now. Somehow the atmosphere this year was different. I can't remember if we lighted candles in the previous years, but this year, there was this sense of warmth in the air. Like we were so happy we can celebrate his birthday for him and the feeling that he really is so important to all of us. Maybe it's just me.. I realise thru his whole illness

God doesn't stop the rain in our lives from pouring down on us, but He does send good friends along to save the day.

There were times I could do nothing but sit before God and beg Him to hear me. This morning, I woke up feeling abit upset again, but I paused and started thinking of things I could thank God for. And truly, there are so many people who have encouraged me in

I turned to this verse whenever I wanted to see God as a victorious God who reigned over all the earth. This morning,

You Are An ISFJThe NurturerYou have a strong need to belong, and you very loyal.A good listener, you excel at helping others in practical ways.In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.In love, you express your emotions through actions.Taking care of someone is how you love them.

we went to visit 2 festivals today, "the works", an art festival and the edmonton international jazz festival. there was this street stage at the works, which was at winston churchill square. so we bought buffalo fries and a drink each and sat down to watch this country song performance by a few young people. it was pretty good, now i understand why american idol/canadian idol standards are so

By order of Ms Sarah Tang, I have been tasked to report my glaring mistake at Kingsway Mall today. Sigh. Read on if you are interested:Today, we set out after lunch, first to visit Sarah's patient at Rosedale Manor. We spent about 1 hour plus with her and then walked down to Kingsway. So we walked past this One dollar shop. And because both of us had this Singaporean mentality, the immediate

Every Wednesday at the pharmacy, I would help prepare syringes for this lady in her late thirties who is suffering from cancer. Because she cannot swallow properly, she needs to be tube-fed. Sometimes, we would need to prepare syringes on Friday as well. And occasionally, her husband would come by personally to collect them. Yesterday, as usual, I prepared those syringes. As I struggled to stick

"When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeurAnd see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,How great Thou art, How great Thou art.Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,How great Thou art, How great Thou art!"This verse really stood out at me this

By chance, I found this amazing songwriter. I haven't heard her music yet, except for about 2 songs, but I think her lyrics are worth looking at and her biography is worth reading, so look here and here.

I composed this simple song while crying out to God in the piano room of Henday Hall. Decided to title it "Jehovah Rophe", the God who heals.

"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." -2 Corinthians 12: 9-10Receiving grace to
