These days I haven't been blogging as much cos I've been seeking solace in reading and asking God about things. :) It is in this quiet secret place where I find God near to me, and yet not so near cos sometimes my mind spins too fast and thinks too much about many things.
For one, I don't really like carrying uncertainty and like to have answers asap! Just seeking God about some stuffs, and still find that I'm not really getting the answers yet. But yet this season of just waiting on Him, reading books, has been really edifying to my soul. :) Been reading my bible daily too, trying to finish up the One year bible this year, and now I'm at Exodus reading on my favourite character Moses!
In Genesis, God's covenant love is revealed time and time again through His divine protection over His people, in spite of their disobedience, pride, deceit etc etc. U find miracles going on in one chapt, and then the next, God's people turn away from Him. Such an awesome God we serve, who loves us unceasingly.
For me, the miracle God just did in my family, changing my dad's heart, from wanting to chase me out of the house if I wanted to go into social sector, to now really like asking me if I want to go full time. I'm amazed! :) But almost in the next couple of days, fears start to creep into my heart, and I wonder if God will provide, if He is big enough for me! And lots of things revealed in my heart, a lot of insecurity and esteem problems on the inside, that God has to deal with, gently but lovingly.
I know God loves me in spite of all I am. And wow, Jesus no longer calls us His servant, but His friend, and we have a God whom we can call Abba Father.
Just wanted to encourage my blog readers too who are reading this, God is faithful and loves you a lot. :)

Thanksgiving....
All the unpacking has been done, and my parents are starting to get used to staying in the new house! Tho mummy has trouble with the new washing machine, and rain sometimes pours in and wets the dried clothes. But really, the challenging times have passed. And yep, we are waiting for Chinese New Year to come! Yay. :) I believe its a new year of new beginnings.
At work, my project will go live this Friday, so any issues will be found out then and also on next Mon and Tues, but I'm thankful that it is coming into completion after about 8 months of hard work!
At church, it has been a whole new experience serving in the discipleship group. :) Slowly learning to get to know one another. Learning to lean on God's strength. Growing much from the daily readings and devotional journals.
And so 2007 went by, yes yes I'm still reminiscing cos I didn't have enough time to think about it! ahahaa. I'm praying for a fruitful 2008. A year of preparation. :)
One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock
Ps 27:4-6
At the middle of 2007, God spoke to me through this psalm, and it was only around the end of 2007 that I read Pastor Kai's devotions, that I realised what God was trying to say. That in spite of all the uncertainties going ard us, one thing we can be secure in, is to be able to dwell in the house of the Lord. It is in His secret dwelling place where we can find solace and comfort. And ofcos, yes, strength to do what He calls us to do.
