Meet your fears with faith

Don’t Be Afraid 

By Max Lucado

“Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him,

‘Don’t be afraid; just believe.’ 

Mark 5:36

Sometimes what we need is just a word of encouragement, isn’t it?
And God gives a word—to the overwhelmed.  To the downcast.  To us. 
He urges, “Don’t’ be afraid; just believe.”
Believe that He can.  Believe that He cares.  Believe that He comes.
Mark it down.  You will never go where God is not.  You may be transferred, enlisted, commissioned, re-assigned, or hospitalized….But brand this truth on your heart—Jesus promised, “I am with you always.”  Don’t be afraid, just believe!
Make your fear a visitor and not a resident.  Hasn’t fear taken enough?  Enough smiles?  Enough restful nights?  Enough exuberant days?
Make it a day changer to meet your fears with faith.  Choose to make every day—a great day! 

The Voice of Heaven

My Beloved Princess,

I long to be closer to you and am never too busy for you, My beloved. If you will turn off the things around you that drown Me out of your daily life, you will begin to hear Me in your spirit. When you don't know where to go, you will hear Me give you divine direction. When you are in need of a friend, you will hear Me whisper, "I am here." When you need comfort, you will hear Me call to you, "Come to Me." Don't let your agenda distract you from time with Me. Quiet your spirit. Know that I am your heavenly Father and you are My precious daughter-and I love when you crave time to be still with Me.

Love,
Your King and the Voice of heaven

again commitment

2012 was not an easy year for me with more responsibility. I need more wisdom to manage my time-really! I shouldn't repeat my mistakes last semester of being so busy without really manage my time table properly. I blame myself many times but yet as what Sis Kim Cheng told us during CPR..We are very good in blaming our self but God is forgiving God. True! When I didn’t do good with my studies and my other tasks I fully blame myself. It’s my fault! But i learn to forgive my self and come to God and ask Him what He really wants me to change and do :)

As what we learn in church today we can’t change what happened in the past but we can change what happen next. This is my second week of semester…with tough schedules than before I told Daddy to take control. I don’t want to do the same like last semester instead I want to do the best for this semester..new resolution??? Hahahah kind of kot..its all about my commitment to Daddy. No matter what tasks given to me I know Daddy wants me to give my best. I learn to really depending on Daddy in every single work I do. I can’t work with my own self..I need Daddy..we all need Him and His guidance.

Simple but serious hahaha(serious laugh)..let us learn to commit even the small thing in our life into God’s hand. Let Him work and teach us to obey Him more.

* This is one of the new song that I always listen to recently. Sung by Leo from Mahanaim ministry

Jangan Biarkan Aku Pergi

Ampuni semua kesombonganku
Ampuni semua kedaginganku
dan bawa aku mendekat
ke hadapan tahtaMu

Ampuni aku yang tak peduli
akan kerinduan di hati Mu
Tuhanku bawa aku kembali
tarik ku lebih dekat lagi

jangan biarkan aku pergi
jangan biarkan aku berlari
menjauh dari tahta kasih karunia yang Kau beri

Tanamlah aku di hadiratMu
meteraikanku dalam hatiMu
di hadiratMu
di hadapanMu
di pelukanMu
itulah hidupku

Basuh keletihanku
sentuh kebekuanku
pulihkan tubuh, jiwa juga rohku

Habiskan kedaginganku
mimpiMu jadi mimpiku
di hadapan tahtaMu kuberseru….

God heals!

Holla!!
Today is my 15th day with my part time job...having fun and my Myanmar language much better now until one of my colleague thought that I am from Myanmar lol :P.
 Really the joy of the Lord is always there within us :)

O ya let me ask you something. Have any of you experience brokenhearted before?

 Me??
hahha yeah and as I remember the first time I experienced it I cried for maybe 2 minutes (not really crying hahah) then the next day me and my best friend went out for movie hahha. is brokenherted very easy to be healed? I am not sure but as for me it sometimes takes years to be heal and some only take minutes to be healed. why brokenhearted? frustrated? maybe yes.

The reason why I get brokenhearted was when I get to know something that is not what I wanted to hear about or know about..no one likes brokenhearted right. I hate it and I don't like it so much! Crying? I don't like crying for those silly stuff (betul ka lol)..I rather find other solution. Like today...the first thing I did was..I texted my good friend and tell her my so called sad story then after that I find bible verse for brokenhearted... and I found this:

Being honest this is not the first time I read this verse but as I read it again and again just now..really God is my Miracle! I don't have to stay with the silly stuff that broke my heart but instead look upon God who cares for me and each one of you.

Beloved.. I am not a super woman who can stand all the bad things happened in my life. but one thing I am sure I am able to stand until now because of Him-My Jesus My Daddy and My Lord. When my heart being hurt and I faced terrible situation I choose to look upon Him. Life maybe hurting but God heals! Yes He did! So don't let the bad things conquer your mind...be joyful in Him :)

Halleluyah!

Thanks Daddy for the strength and the healing that You've given me. When I failed again and again and my heart hurt badly You are the One who there for me..my Healer. Thanks for the people around me. I love You Daddy!!

Rebuilding What is Broken

My Princess Warrior,

Don't be overwhelmed by the brokenness you see all around you. I will give you a heart to look to the future with hope and the tools to restore and rebuild what is broken. I am the same God who gave Nehemiah the strength and favor to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem, and I will give you the power and strength to do the same.

All I am asking of you today is to begin a good work by laying one stone at a time. 

Rebuild broken hearts with words of hope. 

Rebuild broken relationships with forgiveness, grace, and love. 

Rebuild broken cities by serving the community.

 I will go before you and prepare the people for your good works.

Love,

Your King, the Master Builder

"But now I said to them, "You know very well what trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire. Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and end this disgrace!"
~Nehemiah 2:17~ 

Every Moment-Thank God

Hola people!!!
These few days really God bless me with so much of His love and abundant blessings. Recently I got my part time job at Hailam Kopitiam Restaurant. First and awesome experience haha.. Its very tiring honestly but I thank God for the people I met everyday...even though they have their own attitudes but  God never fails to strengthen me to face them. I thank God for new friends from Myanmar..even though we have language boundaries but yet we still able to cooperate each other and they are being so helpful to me and Flo...and also we have a good boss and Malaysian colleagues too! Since this is the first experience for me and Flo we really learnt to fully depend on God alone..starting from when we walk out from house until we reach our workplace and until we come back home---all move smoothly because of His grace.

Thanks Daddy!!!!!

Forgiving and forgetting

Tomorrow is my last paper..finally whooa. I don't like exam that is why most the time I will forget most everything I've studied mere seconds after my exam...bad student huh? 


Why forgetting? have you ever try to forget something that it takes so hard?? it wasn't a good feeling right haha. Recently i try to forget something that happened....I ever heard people said to forgive is to forget. I am not sure how this can apply in my situation. Should it be count in my "to ignore" list..to remember what happened.


Its still January and I am still in New Year mood hahha (lambat betul kan)..so I guess to remember what happened in the past should just put in my "to ignore" list this year. Start right and happily this year.Fighting! Gambateh! Narnia :)) 

Proverbs 16:3

Dear Lord, it never seems like there are enough hours in the day to do everything. Help me discern the difference between what's important and what's unimportant and set my priorities in a way that is pleasing to You. I pray for discipline and motivation to get started each and every today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." 
Proverbs 16:3

A Hopeful Future

A Hopeful Future by  Samantha Reed

Sometimes I don't fully trust God has prepared good things. For me, for family, for friends, for others. This past year was riddled with home foreclosures, loss of businesses, empty cupboards and gas tanks for those I love. They've faced suicide attempts, drug overdoses, passing of loved ones. Family and friends alike have endured marital affairs, children sentenced to jail, a second year of unemployment, cars breaking down, churches falling apart and the list goes on.

I'm not sure He can redeem the pain, recover what's lost, heal all that's broken. Can He truly fit the pieces of this past year into a hopeful future?

Right now, circumstances suggest otherwise. And if I rely on what circumstances currently imply, I'm apt to believe the answer is no, the Lord is not able.

But circumstances tell tales that are prone to change in a moment.

And the truth of the matter is: God never changes. His power to give a future and hope never change. His Word never changes. So when life weaves stories of doubt and hopelessness in God's authority over circumstances, I reread accounts of His faithfulness and redemption. I refer back to the Truth...

No matter what the dire, dreary circumstances, God turned each into a hopeful future.

Our key verse assures us, none of His plans can be thwarted. Despite what is happening in life, these stories of redemption and hope speak the truth. God can and will reverse, restore, revive and renew. He sees beyond the present troubles and is sparking a fire to light up the future with hope.

As we begin this New Year, let's be on the lookout for His plans to come to pass. And trust Him that He can take any circumstance and use it for our good and His glory.

Dear Lord, I'm so grateful You not only see my future, but You've planned it. Thank You for Your faithfulness last year. And for recording these stories of lives You turned dreary pasts into hopeful futures. I ask that You do the same for my circumstances this New Year please. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

You Are a New Creation

My Princess,
You are My precious daughter, and now that My spirit lives within you, I long to teach you about who you are. Let Me start by defining what you are not, My love. You are not a slave to sin any longer. You are no longer under Satan's power. You are not even your own because I bought you with My life.

As your Father, I'm asking you to set a higher standard for yourself. Let go of the old habits that are holding you back from becoming the new you. I can't take you to the next level of your faith until you're willing to receive My instruction. Just as I asked Abraham to leave his comfort zone and go to unfamiliar territory, I am leading you away from your former life. And then I invite you to enter into My presence and receive My power to transform your life.
Love,
Your King who gives new life 

"What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!"
~2 Corinthians 5:17
