4th day of W.F.H. & Less than a Month to Bday!!
haha. In case you are wondering what's W.F.H.... It means working from home! haha.
How's the experience? It's good. haha.
I can wake up at the time I'm suppose to start work.
And I don't really have to walk any distance to get food. *Mummy prepares food for me!* haha.
Sermons are within my reach; can pick what I want but I still end up listening to the same one for the past few days. hehe. Still it's good. haha.
It's kinda weird though. Because I do what I usually do at office but it's like much lesser things to do when I'm home. haha.
But I missed talking! :S Not that I get to talk a lot when I'm in office but yeap. Human contact I guess. haha.
And I realised something about myself. Not that I realised it myself but my boss once mentioned then yesterday was my mum. I sigh quite often. And over what? I don't know. I will tend to sigh. Told Daddy about it already. Not sure of the reason but yeap. Confidently expect that it would stop soon! :)
And yesterday I felt so bored being home the whole day. And at night I decided to just close door and talk to Daddy. A nice experience. Just keep talking. haha. Could literally feel His presence. Not immediate. No vision. Just know He's there. Believe it's consciousness. :)
hehe. Decided to write this post because birthday is coming soon and remember pastor said this year is the year of new beginnings? :)
hurhur. Wonder how would birthday be like. Pressiesssss! haha. Someone reminded me about how in the past I used to remind people it's gonna be my birthday soon, one month before the actual day. haha. Okay I admit. I like receiving presents. haha.
This year was really a lot of new beginnings for me; new season basically.
JanuaryNew Specs and hairdo (if I'm not wrong)
FebruaryGraduated. Started working previous part time job then.
AprilChanged to temp job. First ever office job. Did secretarial/admin stuff.
JulyMoved on to YWA caregroup - enjoyed being cared for & the whole load of sis and bros.
Whole load of new experiences. Stepping out of comfort zone. Felt insecure. Experienced Daddy come thru and bestow favor and strength upon me.
Experiencing life as a ben-gen, being baby of CG.
SeptemberStepped into new ministry and serving there.
Started perm job.
Oh ya! And working with 2 laptops. haha.
OctoberWanted to leave perm job, thinking that it's not for me (haha!)
Yet received affirmation. :)
My third year in NCC
Name change of dept I serve in. Change of leadership.
Saw that life partner issue is real. haha.
NovemberThinks that outdoor activity is fun. haha.
Tend to be more girly.
First time being ministered and cried like boo-boo baby in YWA Arrow Service.
Heard heavenly music.
New hairdo again. :)
First time working from home!
Learn that it's okay to feel and to accept how you feel. :)
Actually got a lot of new things but that's all I can remember, for now. :)
This season I really saw that in and of myself, I really cannot. Saw a lot of inadequacies actually. By my own strength I can't. Not that I have the full comprehension of that but slowly loh.
Seeing that I need Him so much more. Wanting heart revelation more than head knowledge.
It is so easy to rest security in what you know in your head. And a piece of advice to keep you from disappointment, it can only bring you so far. I know. 'Cos I once rested in how much I know. And it's quite sad 'cos when you stop "collecting" those knowledge, you'll have nothing else to rest on. And knowledge includes plain bible knowledge.
Know the Word Himself. Rest in Jesus. Rest....
Proverbs 16:20 (NKJV)He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.:)
I've been Loved by Hunky
haha. Yes. I've been loved by my Hunky. :)
Last week was quite a week for me. It was some emotion roller-coaster I went through that man, I didn't enjoy at all.
haha.
But Hunky still showed Himself faithful. :)
Went for Arrow, was prayed over and cried like a boo-boo baby.
Even till now I can't point a finger at what was really wrong but I like what today's Daily Devotion by church said,
'God says to you, “
Don’t focus on trying to control your rebellious teenager.
Instead, seek first My kingdom, which is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Be conscious of the
righteousness you have as a gift from My Son... And as you seek first God’s kingdom, and follow His righteousness, peace and joy, the abundance within you will flow out and become a reality in your circumstances. (Matthew 6:33)
You will find that God has not only taken care of what is troubling you, but has also added blessings to you...'But how? "Be conscious of your righteousness in Christ. Don’t be conscious of your sins and problems.
Listen to anointed teaching and preaching that remind you of how righteous you are because of the perfect sacrifice of Christ."
You know I suddenly realise my question asked had been answered again. :) Favor. :)
In my previous post I asked:-
Anyway, have you ever felt like you wanna know Jesus on a whole new dimension? ... But my question is, how?And you know what? The next day when I was serving I got the answer. Just that it didn't sink that deep. :) Was talking to one of them who were serving, asking her what did pastor Benjamin preached and pastor talked about people who were zealous for God but without knowledge. *Not sure if that's exactly what pastor preached but that's what I caught from what the sister shared. :)*
And praise Jesus. Was listening to sermon yesterday and pastor mentioned the above as well. :) Then pastor Benjamin went on to say that to know Jesus more is to use the gift of righteousness?
haha. I forgot this part but I know it's about the gift of righteousness. Having the heart revelation that my righteousness is a gift; I can't earn it, I can only believe what HE did and receive it humbly.
After which I have been listening to sermon on Righteousness and today's devotion is yet another confirmation. I like the part about listening to anointed preaching and teaching.
Listening to anointed teaching and preaching doesn't just belong to the "super-spiritual" but it's yours, child of God! Because Jesus' death have given you the kingdom of God within you and it is to YOUR advantage that you find out your inheritance.
Something that Han shared last week after Arrow dinner caught my heart again. He wasn't talking to me but I was there. He shared about listening to the Word and how it is the spirit who catches it. Suddenly it just drop into my heart to keep on keeping on listening to the sermon.
Jesus just never stops loving.
He opened my eyes to see how blessed I am despite the boo-boo I felt inside due to emotion roller-coasters. He showed me how much favor He had showered me with; such love and wings of protection He has covered me with. The love of the sisters and brothers. The length (literally) people go just to love me. Jesus, it is undeserved. Only You know how those winks lifted me and showed me Your goodness once again. :)
I am a
ben-gen and I shall enjoy the blessings as a
ben-gen.
Being loved by my Big Brother who does everything for me. Undeserved, overflowing, all of Grace. :) Grace is ... Jesus. :)
Jesus, I know I can never stop You from loving me. :)
After a LooOoNnnnGggg time. haha.
Hi All,
haha. After so long and here I am!
hehe. And I'm going S
entosa in a few hours time.
haha. Realised that I started this blog post with the format like how I would type an email. Anyway....
haha.
Been working for a month plus going to two. :D
"How has everything been?"
Would say it's alright. Not exactly exciting but wouldn't say it's very boring though.
haha.
This week has been quite a quiet week. Didn't really ask my colleague if she needed help this week. Not sure why but went into a little hibernation mood this week.
haha. Did my own stuff and whatever I was asked to help do but didn't really ask for more work though.
haha.
This week was also a week where I have been sleeping real early. Today is one of the days that I am up late. 12am and it's considered late.
haha. Average bedtime this week has been 10-10.30pm.
hehe. Usually fall asleep while I was reading my book. *not exactly my book but yup, it's with me now.
haha.* Not that it's boring but after sitting up for some time on my bed, I decided to lie down and read and the next time I wake up would either be in the wee hours of the night or somewhere near 12 to 1am.
haha.
I'm reading the book On Eagles Wings by Col. Stringer. I tell you, if you haven't read the book, go get it! It's worth every cent! *though I didn't buy the book*
haha.
I was there at Rock Bookstore and one of my cg friend was buying the book. I kinda like
casually told her that I would like to read the book when she finish reading and last Saturday she passed it to me!
Woohoo!! I'm now in the middle of chapter 4 and I'm still so excited about how Daddy actually liken us to Eagles!
haha.
I'm thinking of my baptism name and might very well get more inspiration after I read much more about Eagles.
haha. Would need conviction as to why I wanna call that particular name. Would want a name with the meaning of an Eagle. But
that's just a thought.
haha.
I can't explain it but it's amazing how the book captures my heart. It just keeps me wanting to read and know more about what's written in there. Believe it has been covered by a lot of prayers. Not sure why but just felt so. :D
I'm not so much of a reader; books that I read are school textbooks and a few other books. Sometimes not even completing them.
haha. So far my most frequently read book is the Bible. So
yeap. Something to recommend - On Eagles Wings by Col. Stringer!
haha.
Haven't read the book today yet because I went shopping with Jesus just now.
hehe. Was tired when I was on the bus back home. And even now I'm a little sleepy.
haha.
Oh, did I tell you that the next chapter of the book that I'm gonna read is about the Love life of the Eagles?
haha. Not sure if it's really about their love life but I think so, judging from the title.
haha.
It's amazing how I am in a different season now. How finding a life partner which seemed like such a far away thing has now changed. And now here I am, excited when I hear pastor talking about it; how when pastor shared about finding our life partner, things just click in my heart.
haha. Been listening to Pastor Prince's sermon on that these few days and the one thing that caught me was to pray for my future life partner; how prayers actually transcend time and I can start praying for him now.
haha. You one blessed fellow.
haha.
Anyway, have you ever felt like you wanna know Jesus on a whole new dimension? Been feeling like this ever since don't know when. Think after I started work? Not too sure.
Yeap. But my question is, how?
:) This year is the year of new beginnings.
hehe.
Alrighty. Off to read my book before I head to bed. :)
Nighty righteousness of God who hungers for more of Jesus and Him alone. :)
With all Love,
His Alone
