I locked my blog for a short period of time because, I posted something when I was feeling rather down and didn't want too many people to read it.

Ah well, the post is gone now anyway. I've been thinking of switching to livejournal for the longest time, but i'm just too lazy to make the change :)

It's amazing how taking time to reflect and appreciate God's Creation can make things so much better.

I was feeling rather stressed today, and slightly irritated too, when I looked up and saw a beautiful rainbow. It wasn't complete, but that sight brought an immediate smile to my face, simply because it reminded me that God remembers His promises and that He never fails us :D

All of a sudden, it seemed stupid of me to feel so stressed and irritated; after all, what reason did I have to feel that way? If I were to just focus on the things that really matter, there wouldn't be a need to even feel so upset. Why coop myself in my misery, when I'm surrounded by everything that God has created, which should remind me of what a glorious and majestic God He is? Indeed, our God is great - He alone can make things so much better :)

Anyway, I'm so tired now, after spending another 2 hours settling flight details and all. Haha, planning for a trip is a real headache!! I can't wait for the 24th of April :D

The past week's been busy, and it's gonna get busier, but there have been so many instances which remind me of how of God is faithful and sovereign. I've also been reminded of the need to pray, pray and pray. Most importantly, to find rest in God - to spend quality time with Him daily and feel refreshed by His strength :D

We sang this song during service today. The lyrics are so meaningful, and I pray that I'll sing them from the bottom of my heart.

Build This House

All I have and all I am is Yours
There's nothing that I have on earth
that doesn't come from You
I lay aside my pride and worldly worth
To serve You is the greatest thing that
I could ever do

For unless You build this house
I am building it in vain
Unless the work is Yours
There is nothing to be gained
I want something that will stand
When Your holy fire comes
Something that will last
And to hear You say 'Well done'
Giving glory to You Lord
Glory to You Lord

So easy to desire what others have
Instead of seeing all the gifts that You have given me
So help me fan the flame which You began
And burn in me a love for You that all will clearly see

For unless You build this house
I am building it in vain
Unless the work is Yours
There is nothing to be gained
I want something that will stand
When Your holy fire comes
Something that will last
And to hear You say 'Well done'
Giving glory to You Lord
Glory to You Lord

Psalm 127:1
"Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain."

P.S. I'm going to Switzerland! Something to look forward to after mid-terms, projects and assignments are over :D

Philippians 3: 7- 11 (:

7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

So live your life and do what you got to.
It's only at night when I really miss you.
But the morning comes - bringing a new day and everything seems to start over again.

Almost - Jennifer Chung
