E06 conference and other stuff

Hey all, won't be blogging in a bit cos I'll be heading down to KL !

And the reason is clear, I'm a delegate as well as a facilitator for this exciting conference.
Check it out here.

There are many things happening right now in the inside as well on the outside, and I'm so happy to getaway to seek Him and His purposes. September 05 till Aug 06 has been a full 'year' of changes and honestly I don't think I'm adapting as well or as fast as I wish to be but I'm trying hard...and I'm praying for stability and wholeness. Thank you all for keeping me in your prayers. :) Now church has a new dimension to me, I begin to see it as when 2 or 3 really gather together and just encourage each other in the faith....don't limit it to the four walls.

Anyways...when I'm back, you'll hear more. For now here's my 30 day challenge:

1. A 30 day trial as a vegetarian (for the soul as well as for the body)
2. A 30 day to permanently set my body clock as an early riser (i've been struggling at this since the dawn of time!) Now I intend to wake up at 6 am instead of 7, everyday including weekends!

Will let you know more the reason behind the challenges, when I get back.


In the mean time, let us all live for ETERNITY.

Song of the month

This is one of my fav song from my all time fav band.

More poets than singers, I think they are really talented.
So here's a song to Love, young love, aged love, the hopeful, the seeking, the found ones and those popping the question soon.

*btw, this is a good opportunity for miss miracle to advertise her expertise as a freelance wedding planner- Miracle Weddings & Events. ;)
So call when you need me to help marry you off!

Fly Farther- Jars of Clay

He picked her up sunflowers
On a Sunday afternoon
They sat out on the porch swing
Underneath a crescent moon

A lifetime seemed to pass
Staring at the skies and on the swing, he gave her the ring
There were tears in her eyes
I said, I pray I'm not alone in my dreams about forever
That you and I could become one
And always be together
We'd grow old and wise, through all the days
For worse or for better
And I'll be true, cause I love you
Even now, more than ever

Chorus
And my, time flies
But we'll fly farther
Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother
All our dreams of together, uneclipsed by never never
And my, time flies, it's in your eyes
But we'll fly farther

Fifty years have ridden off into the sunset
And the tears that we have cried have overflown
And here we are, counting scars
Wounds of life's unending upset
You're with me, and I'm with you
And I will never forget

Bridge
He picked her up sunflowers
On a Sunday afternoon
He rode the greyhound bus
Past the house they used to swoon
He knelt beside the grave
Hung his head, a tear drop fell
And on the stone, epitaph shone
The words he knew so well

We'll fly farther

Created for God's pleasure

Today I felt hopeless.

I was unhappy with myself and the broken parts of my frail humanity. My personality strengths such as being spontaneous, seizing the day, and wanting to live life to the full could also be my weaknesses. I resent the details but essential routine things. For those who are close to me, they would know I struggle with inconsistency.

I lacked discipline. It shows in my time management, my beautifully disorganized room and even my moods. First it trickles, little things like looming laundry, being late then it overflows to unfinished projects I’ve excitedly started and the dam breaks when I get cranky with people because I’ve used up God’s daily grace.

The funny thing about us humans is, we won’t wait for God and so I follow methods. Timetables, 10 steps, to do lists you name it, I’ve tried it. I want to be consistent because I know if I maintain a consistent relationship with God then everything will be alright. Or so I thought.

Fatigue, boredom, and often the flesh will bring me down and today was one of the worse days.

But today, my significant other reminded me that the reason I am here is because God created me for His pleasure. And that is my first purpose, to bring Him pleasure. (why are u always right, darlin?!)

How liberating! Such freedom in the spirit…and such profound Truth. The daily striving wears me down but praise God, He loves me even before I was created. The struggles, weaknesses, and little successes matter to Him. My very existence stamps his approval. And so I began to pray again and it’s not a chore anymore because in my spirit, it makes Him smile just for me to spend time with Him.

The fact is, no… I didn’t become the most organised or spiritual person overnight. But the Truth is, I am accepted in spite of everything and just as long as I take my relationship with God, the work that I do, and the way I relate and minister to others and everything else as meaningful and pleasurable to God, then I am truly free.

Fact and truth are never same things.

Now, let me just clean my beautifully disorganised room…!
