rambles on

i remember the words.

all of those verses i have been heard, they keep speaking to me in different ways. there was once, one good friend of mine, and also a mentor, told me that there is richness in God's word. in many times, God speaks to us through the Bible, as a form of encouragement, comfort, rebuking, command, and so on. Holy Spirit helps opening up our mind and heart towards new things -- a true great character of God. we read, we sing, we pray to God whom we know - and how do we know Him if its not from His words?

i came to realisation once again in how important is reading Bible. things are usually hectic here. the dynamic of life is crazy, and it makes it hard for us to sit down, clear up our mind and just soak into His words and let the Holy Spirit speak to us. i do miss those tuesday prayer nights, that once was a very hard thing for me to do, to sit down and pray, not sleep! yes i did sleep a lot in prayer meetings, it felt peaceful too :p

i always feel lost in words every time i have to explain about my new life here. it did take me at least half a year of confusing life for me before i truly accept the fact that i have to adapt for settling in. pardon my awkward and weird acts (plus being difficult many times!) these past few months if you ever encountered with me. i knew i was not myself, it was confusing for me too.

but hey, the Lord is gracious! i knew if its not because of Him i would keep being weird, well i might still be but in a good way this time (: He teaches me to be humble a lot of times, to be patient and loving, to be warm and not cold, to be open and responsive, to be strong yet dependant to Him, to be enduring in hard times, to find that smile at the end of the day - he teaches me to enjoy life in Christ. shouldn't life as a Christian be a joyful one? despite the crazy things and hard times, i know He's always around to hug me and be with me. i am a happy girl, for once in these past few years :D

and the foundation of all these lay on the salvation He has graciously given to me, as i found these verses peter wrote so beautifully;

for you have been born again, not if the perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 

for, 

all people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; 
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord endures forever.

thank you for being soooo great, Daddy! xx
