God = wonderful works in life!

once again i left this place for a long time.. hmm got a fair bit to share.. but.. hmm where to start...

let's see... i'm thankful for God sounds like the summary...

some little updates.. i finally bought my long awaited 1st laptop!! personally owned!! honestly it's not the best make you might find, especially for a technology dinasaur like me.. and it was a 2nd choice in place of my dream vaio... and not any high-end hi-tech toy.. BUT, it still means so much to me.. 1st time making such a purchase that i'd wanted since like almost a year back.. and it's in place of the money potentially spent on a holiday... aaawwwwhh.. my lappy even has a name!! it's 'xiao hei' haha.. how lame can i get.. been so long since i had the capacity to spend.. not like i can do this very often.. but anyway.. i'm happy with my xiao hei! wahahahahahaha...

one plus point in this purchase.. the technology dinasaur now communicated with her super hi-tech bro much more often because of this purchase.. heehee.. aint' it a good thing...

more great things came up.. the same day i got xiao hei.. God blessed terence and huling with little Faith Tan Xinyi! i just saw her today.. sweet little thing.. thank God for watching out for huiling bringing her thru a smooth delivery... so blessed =)

come sunday.. a morning of dancing in worship with couple of songs swapped.. but all was good.. thank God for watching over and leading us thru our movements...

next was the highlight.. sermon by margaret seaward.. i didn't see it coming at all.. but.. was so good for me.. through my heart and soul... touched me deep.. did anyone ever realised that God's love is far greater than what we think or expect.. His mercies and goodness are vast as the oceans or even greater! away with the explicit details.. but sometimes.. little things in our life and sins that we fall into... cause us to be so guilt-ridden that we forgot to remember God's with us, waiting to give us that hug we need, to seek Him for forgiveness and fall into the sweetness of His love once again.. at the end of the day, it's all about "in-Christ" or "not-in-Christ".. do we somtimes forget to have faith in God? dear brothers and sisters.. God is good, ALL THE TIME.. timeless, regardless of space.. if we allow our lives to be guilt-ridden, it means that we allow ourselves to be drawn away by our sins plus guilt, which means, allowing sin to succeed even more!! so how could we?

i thank God for all His beautiful works and people in my life, and the experiences he planted in my life to mould me as the person i am and still moulding me to be.. thank God for my lovely family.. a loving boyfriend... and wonderful friends.. i pray for all of you who're not in-Christ that the Lord will continue to work in your lives and let His glory and greatness shine in your lives.. have faith if you feel that your lives are not whole.. because.. the reason is because there's one place you haven't allowed God to fill!


a sharing from Adrian Chua once again: Freedom from stress

When life feels like tiny, windowless room and its four walls are closing in, we can create a window of space through the Word of God.

As we read and mediate on the Word and believe in His promises, we open a window to the spiritual realm for God to intervene. The assurance of His love will melt away every tension, stress and anxiety. Like a breath of fresh air, the comfort and counsel of His spirit will clear our mind and warm our hearts.

We will see things from the heavenly perspective and be patient to the new possibilities and challenges. We will find new measure of faith and inspiration to give us the strength to push forward. Stifled feeling will give way to hope and passion for living.


Cultivate the habit of turning to God for every need. It might take time, but His peace and comfort will relieve the pressure. Have faith in His love and power to do the impossible, for “all things are possible to him who believe” (Mk.9:23)

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jer.33:3)
