Reminder of God's good creation!!

Looking Back and Moving Forward

Looking back at what God has done in the past to have confidence that he will still be faithful to His promises in the future even when it might seems uncertain.

"The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;

    he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
⁴⁰ The Lord helps them and delivers them;
    he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,

    because they take refuge in him." (psalm 37:39-40)

2012 in Retrospect

"I trust you God" is easier said than done.

2012 was filled with many moments where God asked me to fall back and trusted that He would took care of me. Often, I (like the girl in the video) found it hard to just trust God.

Feeling like I have to do something to make the situation better.
Feeling like I need to have evidence to prove that God is really faithful and is good.
Forgetting to count His blessings.
Forgetting that regardless of anything, God is still a good God because it is his character.

Being a last year uni student, I was panicking on looking for jobs for when after I finish uni. My uni marks were not great and that made me doubt on whether or not I will get a job later on because the market was and is always competitive. Instead of trusting that God will provide and that everything will work according to his timing and purpose, I shifted my identity to my uni marks and getting a job because those things are more tangible than trusting God.

Hopefully in this new year, I will continue to trust God in His plan and providence (whatever it is) and not forget how gracious He has been and holding on to His promise knowing that I can hold on to him because he is after all my Heavenly DADDY :D:D

Keeping you guys in my prayer too.

Good Food, Good Health

"If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul if stuffed with small things, and there is no room for great. God did not create you for this. There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened."

"John Piper- A Hunger for God, p.23"

Nibbles often feel a lot better esp when they are junk food. I am too full from snacking junks to eat proper food. Missing out from good nutritions contain in good and proper food. What I need to do now is to stop nibbling/ snacking and start eating proper and healthy food. To stop desiring other things which lead to destruction and start desiring God who willingly run after me. Wanting to have a relationship with me and had done that through Jesus.

Looking at All the Wrong Places

Day after day I try to fill my empty hearts

Day after day I wonder what to fill it with

I look for it in many things and places

I look for it in myself, I look for it in people

Finding myself again and again not feeling satisfied

Some say I have too high of an expectation

Others say its just the way it is

Nothing is perfect so just settle and be happy

I say to God, I know nothing is perfect

But my heart longs to be filled to the full

Is it impossible??

Am I dreaming too much??

Am I too demanding??

Is there no answer to this??

Then You answer,

"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor in what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare." (Isaiah 55:1-2).
