A new chapter

I’m moving from an island to another island. It sounds like I’m having a sunny holiday and traveling around the islands of the world; sitting on the beach, reading a book, drinking freshly-squeezed tropical juice…… IN MY DREAM LA!!! I’m not a fan of beaches anyway. Don’t like hot weather. I prefer to travel around the world and do some FOOD-tasting. Japan and Taiwan are my top 2 “countries-that-i-want-to-go list” Yummy... sigh… also in my dream la……

ANYWAY! For those who already know, I’m in the Lion-City! Singapore! I really thank God that He gave me a job here. After so many months of discovering my calling, my purpose and my desire, I really believe this job is really providence from Him. These few days I was doing some thinking and praying about what He wants me to do here. He has been preparing me for the past few months, so I just want to remember what He had taught me.

O God, You are my God,
Earnestly I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You,
My body longs for You,
In a dry and weary land
Where there is no water. – Psalm 63:1

May God be gracious to us and bless us
And make His face shine upon us,
Selah
That Your ways may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations. – Psalm 67:1-2

Yet I am always with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with Your counsel,
And afterwards You will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire besides You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength f my heart
And my portion forever. – Psalm 73:23-26

I already knew that life in Singapore is not easy, especially that I will be working as a junior auditor. Life is going to be so crazy x 1,000. But I will trust my God. If He called me here, He already prepared a way for me. He will give me His favor, strength and grace that I need. I really believe I will go through the hardships with Him by my side. If God is for me, who can be against me? Friends, I ask you to keep me in prayer, that I won’t be losing focus on Jesus and what He called me to do. He is everything I need.

The Spirit of the Sovereign God is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed me
To preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted,
To proclaim freedom for the captives
And release from darkness for the prisoners,
To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
And the day of vengeance of our God,
To comfort all who mourn,
And provide for those who grieve in Zion –
To bestow on them a crown of beauty
Instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness
Instead of mourning,
And a garment of praise
Instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
A planting of the Lord
For the display of His splendor. – Isaiah 61:1-3


A new and exciting chapter of my life indeed =)

Voice of Truth

This post is specially for my little sister. =)

Voice of Truth - Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again "Boy (or Girl :P), you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armour
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again "Boy (or Girl), you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

A prayer for my generation

Point of Difference - Hillsong United

The tide is turning, this is redemptions hour
In the midst of a world lost of love
You are all we have now
The lost returning, salvation is all around
In the midst of the world broken down
You are all we have now
For You are God and this hope is ours

So Father open the skies
Flood the earth with Your light
This is love to break the world indifferent

Our hearts are burning, a fire that won't burn out
In the midst of a world that's grown cold
You are all we have now
The earth resounding, the anthem of Your reknown
As we lift up our eyes
And look to Your glory

Call us out, let the world see
You are God
And this hope is ours
So call us out, let the world see
You are God, as we sing

So Father open the skies
Flood the earth with Your light
This is love to break the world indifferent
As we lift up our eyes
Fill our hearts with Your fire
In a world of sin
We'll be different, the difference

Our eyes are open, every chain now broken
In this world, we are different
Let Your love become us
As we live to make You famous
In this world, we are different
So call us out, let the world see
You are God, as we sing

So call us out, let the world see
You are God
One and Only in rhis world
You are all we have now

Heavenly Father, I pray for this generation, my generation, to rise up and stand up for You Lord Jesus.
I pray that You will stir up our passion for You, for Your people.
I pray that You will use us to show them Your love, to break the world of indifferent.
We want to be different in this world.
I know it's very hard to be different (almost to the extend of impossible), but I ask for Your Holy Spirit to fill us everyday the moment we wake up.
May the world see the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control that You pour on us.
Give us courage, O Lord, to bring the lost sheep back to You.
Lord Jesus, You are all we have now.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.
