Our God

Water, You turned into wine
opened the eyes of the blind
there's no one like you
none like you


And if our God is for us
then who could ever stop us
and if our God is with us
then what could stand against

Our God- Chris Tomlin

Full lyrics and song sample can be listen here. This is a new song that we sang at church for the first time today and i was greatly encouraged by the words, so i thought i share it with you :D:D
Our God is so awesome that no one can be compared to him. Because he is that awesome, nothing will stop me from coming to him, not even sin, not even when my heart is telling me i am not worthy to come to him. Because he is for me.
A great reminder that i have an awesome father in heaven who is with me and as a result, i am secure and safe in his hands. Because nothing can stand against me, even my sinful acts and heart.



“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5-6, NIV 84)

Dream Job

Last night at bible study, each of us was given an opening question that are different from each other. The question that i got was something along the line of "what would be my dream job in 10 years time?"
I didnt really know what i wanted to do because i enjoy doing a few things like cooking and doing admin (just to name a couple now that i can think of more), but theyre not really my dream job. A friend of mine said "doing ministry" and i paused. Not because i dont really wanna do it but because i felt like theyre a bit odd to be a dream job.


Opening up proverbs 31 changed my mind about doing ministry as a dream job. Proverbs 31 esp verses 26-31 draws a beautiful picture of a wife with noble character. I am not exactly a wife and dont think i'll be one sometime soon but those godly traits are definitely ones that God's daughter should pursue whether or not theyre married. Of course how they look like on a daily basis would be different as each has different roles but you get the point ;);)


So in 10 years time, my dream job would either be "the wife of noble character" or "god's daughter of noble character" depending on whichever god has in plan. :D:D

"If Jesus is not Lord of all, he is not Lord at all "

Thank You, Dad

I went to a friend's baby shower yesterday and there was a sharing about what people had been telling the sharer about what to do and not to do during pregnancy.. what to do and what not to do after the birth and so on. She didnt share about tips on what to do and not do do though because she knew that a lot of people wouldve talked about it with my friend however at the end of her sharing about what her kids had been teaching her, she had one tip for my friend that was passed on when she was pregnant and i thought it was so sweet. Here is what she said:

" to make sure that the day when my friend and her husband bring home the new baby, they would start reading her (the newborn baby) God's word and do it daily, so that later on she (the daughter) will say 'I dont remember a time where my parents didnt read me from God's word.'  "

I thought that it was sweet and i wish i can say that but i cant because my parents dont believe in Jesus.
For a second i was jealous but then greatly reminded that it is not necessary to be able to say that because my parents has been such a great blessings regardless of whether or not they believe in Jesus.
Yes, they dont believe in Jesus like i do but the fact that my heavenly father had put me in this very family that is just as awesome, why should i envy and i have no reason to be jealous or complain but to be thankful INSTEAD :D:D

I am left with no reason to be jealous whatsoever but to be thankful because my heavenly father always give me good things and he has given me good things :D:D All i need to do is ask and he will give it to me if he thinks that theyre good for me. If he doesnt give it to me then it simply means that theyre not good for me even when i think theyre good!!




“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:11-13, NIV 1984).

Chat about Suffering

A: do u know who actually rules this world??


me: God


A: no ure wrong!! let me give you this magazine tht tells u who actually rules the world..


me: why dont u tell me who rules the world and give me a snapshot of the magazine??


A: we believe that god doesnt rule this world but the devil and humans, thats why we experience sufferings n tht this world is broken becos if god rules the world, he wont let suffering occur!!


me: but suffering occurs becos of sin not becos of God is out of control of this world...




that was a short version of the long chat with 2 people that came to my house.


what do you think?? do you think that god is n control of this world or he is out of control of this world?? Check him out for yourselves and find out who God really is, whether he is a loving God or a God who likes to punish people and let people suffer??
