我不求

我不敢祈求,祢赐给我美丽的容貌,只求祢,赐我善良的心;因为善良的心不会变老。我不敢祈求,祢赐给我富贵之道,只求你赐我丰富的爱;因为爱是生命珍宝。我深深知道,唯有经历各样缺陷,我才能更加感受,祢恩典围绕;我才能珍惜生命的美好!我不敢祈求,祢赐给我平坦的路径,只求祢,坚固我的信心;因为信心超越艰困的环境,信心超越环境。

By Grace

2009-A year brimmed with God's grace.
There are no lexicons gargantuan enough to describe His mercy,
nothing wide enough to contain His copious love.
His promises never fail to allay my apprehensions of the future,
the vicissitudes of life which i encounter daily and
whenever i feel that i was left alone to take the bull by the horns.

Just like a song which i learnt in chapel during my alma mater days,

He's the Lord of the sunshine,
the Lord of the rain,
He's the Lord of the good times,
the Lord of the pain.
He's the Lord of the mountains,
the Lord of the sea,
He's the Lord of the music,
the Lord of the children,
the Lord of,you and me.

Everything in a nutshell, with a memory that holds last year.

reflection

Look at me, I will never pass for perfect bride.
Or a perfect daughter.
Can it be I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see that if I were truly to be myself,
I would break my family's heart.

(Chorus:)
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me.
Why is my reflection someone I don't know
Somehow I cannot hide who I am,
Though I've tried.
When will my reflection show,
Who I am inside.
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside.

Been zonk out by heaps of work,commitments and exam preparation that i left my blog dilapidated.
nevertheless,still thankful for His sustaining grace and love.
Recently, i'm apt to diagnose myself with GAD(generalized anxiety disorder) which has comorbidity with insomnia.The left bottom of my eye had been throbbing intermittently for 4-5 consecutive days.wonder why...??
Could it be that my eyes are simple too dry with contact lenses on the whole day which is made worse without restful nights?
Been having weird dreams too,
one of those i vividly registered was being forced to marry a guy whom i didnt love.
I can't remember how he looked like, what i recalled was that he brought those usual wedding endowments, the calendar to choose an auspicious date,together with the most horrifying- the seamstress ,to take measurements for the wedding gown. If i'm not wrong,i woke up having some tears in my eyes.

Joint pain,headaches,dark eye rings,all evidence of precocious aging,
a sign of woman's expiry and the heavy traffic of weddings to attend o.o'''

A need to find equanimity.Miss times where i can just be still and alone, to do what i enjoy; reading,baking,practice piano and a morsel of violin...


...which reminds me that i've got to replace the bow.

i'm starting to smell Christmas already(thanks to the erratic thunderstorms and cool breeze)!anticipating Messiah concert and the simple family getaway.Finally can let my hair down a lil.Knitted scarf and leather boots to fall in soon!!=p







Taste of honey;
Love is assiduously doing what is best for the other,
withstands trials and the test of time,
exceeds our expecations of the other,
surpasses falling in love;
always growing in love,
Love perseveres.

Nothing beats the definition of Love which can only be taken from Corinthians 4.13..
and truism that God is Love.

Wax and wane

A future of vicissitudes,
bane by disasters of all kind,
the vagaries of weather and the ramifications caused by human err,
hopefully have woken humanity-that it's impossible to vanquish God.

We seriously need to implore for mercy,repent and pray.



Whether bread always fall on the buttered side or not,
we embrace the fact that He is ubiquitous,almighty and faithful.
The insurmountable,the past and the impending is nothing;
He still reigns.






*Happy Birthday mum!*

"even so..it is well with my soul.."

Picturesquely they recollect,
indelible they may seem,
the hearty,woven and seared.
Part of His purpose,
Who began a good work,
Will bring it to fruition.



“God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.”
