I've decided to close this site and continue with my previous pumpkinmagic site, given that next year is my year of hope and new beginnings.

Where's the logic in this?!

True value

I've had "true value" on my gtalk over the past couple of days and received more questions on what it means than my other shoutouts - mostly questions of what it means. It's interesting how "value" is important to people.

So, what is of true value? Relationships. Our impact here on earth in our lifetime. People who have made a difference in our lives.

Thank you Father for your gift of a wonderful family and for M.

going thru the refiner's fire.

Learning to submit in obedience to God's will ... scary stuff.

I'm ready for the next leap! What is it???

The way in which Teoh died is truly heartbreaking and my heart goes out to his fiancee and family. May justice prevail!

I offer my life

We sang this very scary song at Wesley today:

(Verse 1)
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Verse 2)
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Bridge)
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Lord I offer you my life

I lurve the Raffles Hotel.... beautiful architecture and old world charm... sigh...

Sponsoring a child

I've been thinking about this for quite a while now. Glad I finally did it... at the very least I hope I've made a difference in one person's life!

Life in SG

End of an era

I shall miss you... and the memories you've carried since 2002.

How I long for a fresh start for us, a new beginning.

Inspired

..to do 3 things:

1. Grow herbs... at least they're of some use apart of making the place greener ;)
2. Join the 10km SCB run in SG this year
3. Carry my cross... literally.

God answers prayer. At some stage years and years ago, I remember praying for his spiritual walk. And to see that God-speak is in his language today is a testament to His grace. Thank you Father.

Daily devotional

I'm trying to get back into the swing of this. And I suppose writing here is in someways a way for being accountable for it.

Yesterday's DD pointed me to Psalm 128:

A song of ascents.

¹ Blessed are all who fear the LORD,
who walk in obedience to him.

² You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.

³ Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.

⁴ Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the LORD.

⁵ May the LORD bless you from Zion;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.

⁶ May you live to see your children's children—
peace be on Israel.

I'm claiming the promise of this for my life!

it's tough finding real friends... i think it's cos i've been a crap friend myself :P

May our lives together bring glory to you, our Saviour, and testify of your love.

What makes a good Christian marriage? Two good Christians. And, what that means is, that you both love the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart, and He is the priority in your life, and that you, faithfully, together, pursue a path of obedience to Jesus Christ.

Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV)

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I am claiming this! Come into our situation and help meeeeeeeee!!!!!
