TRANSITION IS GOOD...


[picture above courtesy of Alvin during DUMC’ s Young Adults’ retreat last year]

As the deer panteth for the waters so my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart’s desire and I long to worship Thee
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire and I long to worship Thee.

I want You more than gold or silver only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver and the apple of my eye
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire and I long to worship Thee.

You’re my Friend, and You are my Brother even though You are a King
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire and I long to worship Thee
I love You more than any other so much more than anything.


Many thoughts have been running through my head (the deep thinker strikes again!!) lately, but strangely enough the words don’t seem to flow as smoothly as before. Confusion also strikes when I cannot be sure myself whether or not to put it into words. I’ve changed. I know I have. But only the Lord knows how much, heh. Perhaps it is the group of friends. Perhaps it is my own experience. Perhaps it’s the Lord’s molding.

Received a call last Monday, set a date for dinner on Tuesday. That one date was, in many ways, an eye opener for me. It made me realize how much I have moved on from the way I was, or rather who I was, 5 yrs ago. It made me realize how childish I was when I did what I did. It made me realize where my heart truly belong. It took me slightly more than 10 years to realize that such an emptiness could be filled in just 1 year if my focus was right. All in all, it made me look back and realize, with a thankful heart, that it is truly the Lord that has guided me through.


Enough is enough!! This year, I want to fully focus only on the things that will make me fulfilled: 1) My adorable kids in Rangers 2) My cell 3) My daily devotion with the book MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST, highly recommended by Senior Pastor Daniel Ho *winkz*

On a different note, it is nice to listen to uplifting Sunday messages all over again. Once in a while, when our spirits need a lift, it is refreshing when the encouraging word of God speaks and pierce through like a double edged sword. So nice of Alvin to bless me with this particular message cd entitled THE POWER OF FAITH by Rev. Dr. Teoh Choong Leong when I wasn’t able to attend DUMC Sunday celebration due to Rangers duty. Truly one powerful message!!

P/s: ooh, in fact, I’m actually contemplating closing down this site since the flow in writing is not as smooth as before, haha :)) but that's not the main point. The main point is I'd prefer to be more focus in things that I know I would find fulfilment, heh..
