time has passed so quickly yet again many moments gone through since that day all the memories still seem so clear every day, every month, every year.
how i long to see you face to face to hold your hand and feel your warm embrace but i know that you'll be happy for eternity 'cos now you see Him face to face
and i know His hands you are holding His face you are seeing His glory fills the heavens and beyond
i cant wait, to see Him face to face.
to say that i dont miss you will be a lie for the first time, there wont be any celebration today for the first time, i wont be able to exclaim in happiness every yearly morning
happy birthday, mum.

blessings//laura story
We pray for blessings We pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep We pray for healing, for prosperity We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering All the while, You hear each spoken need Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You’re near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom Your voice to hear And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love As if every promise from Your Word is not enough All the while, You hear each desperate plea And long that we'd have faith to believe
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You’re near And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us When darkness seems to win We know the pain reminds this heart That this is not, this is not our home
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears And what if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You’re near What if my greatest disappointments Or the aching of this life Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy And what if trials of this life The rain, the storms, the hardest nights Are Your mercies in disguise

praise
praise the Lord for her smiling eyes that glitter like stars in the night sky praise the Lord for her listening ears that hears every trouble and every fear praise the Lord for her bright smile and laughter so loud it can bring the house down praise the Lord for her working hands that has toiled hard for our gain that cooks what tastes like the best on earth that reassures our every worth praise the Lord for her walking legs that has travelled much distance to bring God's grace and blessing to all places
i miss my mum's presence, no doubt about that. many things trigger my memory of her. but still, i'm at peace because i know that this is not goodbye forever, and one day, i will see her again.
so i look to You.

greatitude.
thank You Lord for.. health family food friends the weather finances abundance.
all i have needed Thy hand hath provided great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto Thee.
i took about 5 mins to type out the sentence above. mainly because i had to type in hanyu pinyin and that takes up quite a bit of time as i would have to check the correct words and all. partly because i havent installed the software/app that allows me to hand-write chinese characters on my trackpad. that would be brilliant, i must say.
as i have mentioned in chinese, the distance between chinese and i is, sadly, increasing. i remember starting primary school getting average grades in the subject and i never especially loved it. it was just something that i thought was natural for everyone to go through. things changed in primary 5 when i grew to love the language. perhaps it was under the influence of the teacher, but i started enjoying doing the exercises in the 好朋友 publication every week. then in primary 6, i knew i was the chinese teacher's pet because i was conscientious in doing my work and also giving model answers to the questions in the exercise. i guess my pride slowly ballooned. not adding to the fact that i was a prefect among other roles and responsibilities.
since then, i've never hated chinese or the lessons in school. in fact i began to appreciate the idioms and whatever else there was during my time of learning. i did my own 习字 and made sure i grasped the meaning of every 词语 in my textbook and 词语手册. there was banding for chinese classes in sec 3 and it was no surprise that i was assigned into the first class for chinese lessons. i mean, i scored A in most of my tests and exams. my grades in chinese surpassed what i thought was my best subject - english. i remained humble, to the best of my knowledge at that point in time.
the rest, they say is history. my idea of humility has changed over the years and it is only and truly by the work of His Spirit. i have been redeemed, and i am being transformed daily. sometimes oblivious to it, but as i reflect on the days gone by, i certainly see them in His hands and how He's shaping my life, for His glory. this is His story in me. because He lives, i can face tomorrow. such hope and assurance is mine. only by His grace and revelation.
when i die one day, i would want 3 words on my tombstone. not rest in peace, but forgiven and redeemed.
we are all bound for eternity. the question is, which direction are you heading towards?

rejoice(:
i vaguely remember in the previous post, i said i would attempt to post in chinese. but then the noob hasnt figured out how to write chinese on the macbook so yes when i have the time for it I WILL FIND OUT. discovery journey. haha.
but for now, this site remains a place where i express 'freely'. had GUTS chillout at BH yesterday and i must say that it was fantastic. despite the 'generation gap' (according to the monkey), i really had fun emceeing the whole thing and just playing along with the students. where your treasure lies, there your heart will be also. how very true.
i'm at a point in time where words are not enough to express my thoughts and feelings. i can only say that i have found grace truly amazing. His love never fails.
