what do you do
when giving up is the easier option
and hiding is the more secure sense?
what do you do
when you are called to lead and carry miracles
but all you see is sickness and disease?
what do you do
when you know you're loved
but the love seemed so far?
what do you do
when someone said they care
but they havent even make to drop a line?
what do you do
when you get mad at the one who knows you best
when you get angry for no apparent reason
what do you do when you know you cant do anything?
what do you do?

beyond my eyes.
That was the theme song that Ps Rob repeating played during camp red. It was just so amazing and God just moved so powerfully. Kids are all stepping up to the next level and operating in a new annointing. its mind blowing! have you seen kids praying for each other and leaders on the last day? kids taking more of a part in the service rather than leaders? oh my goodness!
Holy Spirit is just sooo there! I went there, and i felt as though i'm recieving more than i'm serving. it's odd. but it's good :)
3 more shifts and i'm home.
i dont exactly know how i'm feeling at the moment.

HELLO FROM WANGARATTA
Yes, i'm finally here! i still remembered the night when i found out i was allocated here and how my beloved housemate and sister were having a crack at it! I also remembered how God spoke to me to come and stuff. And well well well, can you believe it? i'm one week down and two more to go and soon enough, it'll be over!
So far, i'm digging it!
The place that i'm staying does feel heaps like boardo. communal kitchen and toilet, laundry and stuff like tat. 4 walls, wardrobe, table and chair. ahhh. good ol' time. and i figure some things are still the same in me, i havent grown much! it still kinda felt exactly the same as i felt the first time i left home. when i'm in my own room, i still feel rather miserable, the feeling of being alone and no close friends near u, aint good. aint good at all. companionship meant so much hey?
but i guess the one MAJOR difference was that i have God by my side. He is so good, never forsaken me. It felt so different when you start you day with him. He prepares my day and set it right.
In the hospital, i've been learning heaps. went in the wards for four days and i've been doing quite a fair bit. it started with a lil contending, like trying to balance out the technical stuff and wanting to see all the "cool" things, but then.. a day later, i realised wat's important aint the doing things on people part. it's the part where you get to talk to them and put a smile on them, making their pain more tolerable, or reduce it to 0! it's an amazing feeling when you get to know them, talk to them and just listen to them and sharing the honour of being part of their lives. It truly is a an honour.
Just like how people came into my life. I cant forget how awesome my first 2 nurses who looked after me last year! jo and carlie. i really missed them and kinda regretted that i did not get their contacts. but anwayy.. highlights from wangaratta so far.
went to cheese tasting
the last stand of ned kelly
taco night
finished a 1000 pieces puzzle
homesick
gave an injection
learning to depend more on God
i shall talk more next time.
ps. just watched raising helen on tv. i cried.

whilst i was in His arms, thanking Him, tears rolled down the corner of my eyes.
that adds another line to my tally crying myself to sleep this month
but deep down, i know
Jesus loves when there's still so much hurt.
Jesus loves, when there's still so much that i dont understand.
Jesus loves.
It's tears of gratitude. As long as my heart remains soft, these tears will never run dry, cos there's always things to be thankful for.
Can i choose to let go and say bye :] with a hope that you'll find someone better. i'm sorry

I WILL BLESS THE LORD
When you think about how awesome God is, and how great His gracious hands are. u just cant help but thanking Him and being in awe in His mighty presence.
Today, at Planetkids, Ps Rob shared a lil and allowed us to publicly declare and thank God for things. anything.
it's awesome and so genuine as you start hearing the heart beat and the sincere "thank-you"s from the bottom of people's hearts.
It ranges from family, to ministry, friends to His things that make you smile.
God is always at work, always loving, always faithful, always reaching out to you.
as i'm sitting back on my bed now, typing this, i've got so many things to thank God for, from the simplest of things to the routine-everyday-life-repititive-taken-for-granted things.
for the hot warm sun, and the fog, wet winter
for the great joyous laughters, and the tough challenging pains.
for the most loving outstretched hands, to the most heartfelt hugs.
and just being able to breath and say your name.
GOD, thank you!

pre-exams
in couple of hours time, i'll be on my first paper of the year. this year had truly whizzed by real quick and before i knew it. it's already mid-year. winter and its chill has already hit the streets.
i've been in a position now, where i dun really know what to do.
well, i know the very basic thing is - to trust God, believe that Jesus will come through.
i know he will. i dont doubt heaps. but the question for me is the issue of expectations. i dont really wanna go through this but i know it's totally self-inflict and yes, i think, i think too much. ya. and just within a minute, a ZILLION things will zoom into my head, like it or not. it could be of people, things i need to do, random thoughts and even things of the future.
no wonder i'm so easily overwhelmed.
but somehow i need to understand that God is still in control. God is still faithful and He is good.
i need to know that when i trust Him, He can and will work in the miraculous ways.
when i lift my hands up, and let Him do it, He will surprise me.
I just need to belief it from the bottom of my heart. There has never been such great doubt or testing in my heart before. it's a point where i know it in my head, but do i really belief in my heart. perhaps the fact that i dont see it yet or the fact that it's not hapenning yet kinda intensify my tot process. i dont know. but this exams feel so different. maybe God is just taking me on a deeper level of trust.
i know i dont wanna be an average student. i am sick and tired of the mediocre level of achievements. i know the same power that raised Christ from the dead is in me. i know i have all it takes.
i know. but why it is so hard to put it down into the real deal.
in a way, it's like moses of the holy ground. you know you're there. you know something off the supernatural is happening, but you just dont know how to react or how to tap into the source that is available right in front of you. perhaps i'm waiting on the clear instruction of God, "take off your shoes"
take off the stuff that has been hindering me off direct contact with God.
remove all the thoughts that come bombastically down on me, and just be saturated in His.
COME ON. get ready.
havent you already known that in His presence, there's everything? HE is forever faithful. He is forever good.
Come through again God.
ps. i dont wanna have leaky nose or any cough-running-nose-disease. get rid of it for me please God.

the other day, when i was on the bus, i eavedropped into some other person's conversation. one of them is my coursemate, doing nursing.
My friend/ coursemate (P)
Another girl that she was talking to, assuming that she's doing the same course as well (J)
J- We nurses dont earn as much you know. Unlike the doctors.
P - Yea.. apparently physio's earn heaps too and their job scope is really good. They only work from 9 to 5
J - YEA! that's why i really wanna get hitched with either a doctor or physio once i get out there on the job.
I'm pretty set on it.
HHMMM. I couldnt stop laughing to myself. I always wonder if my guy would be a doctor or from the healthscience line.
HMMM

taking my position
i was on a podcast spree today.
whilst on the way back from peninsula, i had joyce meyers, jentezen franklin and GC to accompany me. it was AWESOME!!!
there's so much that i could grasp from the messages but i'll just share wat spoke to me the most. i love what joyce meyers said.
The battle is not ours to fight.
2 Chronicles 20:17
"You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.' "
I've been hearing a lot of stipulations here and there. and as the mid year approaches, it got me thinking alot. about what have i done for the past 6 moths. and what could i do in the up coming months. perhaps its not the best time to do some reflection, especially when assignments and exams are round the corner and not to forget placements straight after.
perhaps like what chloe said, i do have a lot spinning in my head.
but i guess i'm just trying to max out my day with the things i can do, not just for myself but also for people and for God.
aikz. i duno.
i think i need some recap and reflection time with God and put myself in a position of ultimate surrender, giving all of myself to God.
somehow, this song came into my head tonight. TEEEHEHHE, enjoy the old school video. my sis n i cracked up laughing watching it!
God, take me home!
where the deers and the anthelop play...

my housemates said that i'm not so good of an actor. hmm. people say that they can read me like a book. REALLY??
sometimes,
somethings, i always wonder, whether is it better for me to say it or to keep it to myself?
can you read it through my eyes? i hate to proclaim those words.
but sometimes, it doesnt matter what we say. the best comfort one can get is silent presence.
for me, i'd love it if i could get a giant cuddle and you telling me, it'll be alright. God's got you at the palm of His hands.
just hold me in your arms, will you?

cheesy
at the moment, i'm feeling really cheesy now. perhaps it was chick flick overdose. 1 is enough to put me off the dial. haha.
i came home from uni today and my house were watching full house. yeap. the korean drama series with rain and the super cute girl on it.
then we continued on with one night with the king with Esther from the bible, offering her everything to the King. sooo beautiful. and i love how she demonstrates such strong courage to stand for her people for 'a time such as this'.
and well,
it didnt stop there. i then stumbled upon weixiong's blog and found the sweetest video. the photos were great and so were the editing and putting them together. but i guess wat made the superb was the heart behind it.
ahhh. i want some love nowww..

GOD CAN!
went for PS 09 conference last week. God has always been faithful and good to me. everything that i asked of, came through. I went in with a relatively shattered heart, as you could prolly see 2 posts down.
God is sooo good.
He gives hope when there is none.
He heals when you thought the pain would never ever go.
He moves mountains to come meet u face to face.
He reminds you of your deepest dreams
He tells you that you are cherished, you are loved.
i'll talk more next time. but for now, i'll just leave you with a thought.
what do you want to see? dare to ask God for the impossible.

memoirs of the past
i stumbled upon all these stuff of the past today while i was tidying up my room. the stuff back dates to 5 years ago! hahaha. yes. that's how much junks i have in the house but it also proves how sentimental i am. i remember having them but physically going back and looking at them. my gosh. i nearly broke down to tears.
i know at the moment. we're prolly very different from where we used to be. mann, it has been 5 years. of course things change. but i love our innocence back then. i love how u would love me for just who i am. i love how we can write notes and stick it on each others door. i love the fact that u say u'll always be there for me.
its hard to keep up with time, especially when it zooms past us so ever quickly. perhaps we're all at different pages of life now. we're doing different things, believing in different values. but hey, if i've never told u this, i wanna tell u now.
i love you and i appreciate all the memories we share.
i'm sorry that it's been so long and so far.
but you know what, going through all those stuff..
i miss your presence in my life. i miss seeing you every schooling day in that green pants and blue pinafore.
i miss the fact that you're just down the corridoor, having instant noodles in your room or nibbling your pack of biscuits away.
i miss you.
i admit that we have different priorities in life now
but thank you for the great work that you're doing, the love that you're continuously pouring out to the ones near you.
thank you for who you were and who u are.

rainy days
daylight savings are over. seriously, i find it weird how the weather could just change so drastically along with the daylight saving.
it's been raining for almost 3 days now. i get to sleep hearing the rain beats against the roof, and in the morning, i wake up with my cold toes tapping to the rhythm of the drops on the porch. i dont like weather like this, makes me wanna stay home whole day, wag class, and snuggle in my bed. unfortunately, i dont get the luxury to do so. i have an assignment due tmr!! :S
i've been sleeping early and waking up early for it. labouring away :(
maybe cold gloomy weather makes you wonder.
sometimes i wonder.and i think i still linger.
am i worthy enough?am i good enough?
i see her hurts and pains.
i'm scared. i can feel the reality of it.
i dont deserve it. she didnt deserve the pain either.
why we fall sometimes?
why cant we be firm and just say no.
why is it so hard to go back,
why is it so hard to be focussed.
she's so stunning in her wedding dress.
is it too much or too far for me to imagine myself in that?
i'm not as talented as you are.

i dont have a heart as big as hers.
i'm not good enough.
i can only look from my lil corner and think of all the perhaps and maybes.
i am trying to forget and let go
but i still cant help reading your blog.
i still cant help waiting eagerly and looking on the screen of my phone, waiting for the text to come through.
i still cant help checking on gtalk or skype.

i feel like i'm so useless. i cant honour my words.
i'm sorry.
i'm sorry, you.
i'm sorry, You.
please dont come after me with questions. i think i just need time to sort myself out.
till then, it's assignment time. joy.

"I understand"
I read somewhere today that the fact that someone understands you is so comforting. I guess as human being, we are truly made for relationship, the longing to connect and for someone to understand what we're going through, how we're feeling. i'm sure you can relate to times when you're scrolling your phone, picking out that one person in contact list to tell him/her that one joke that you both can laugh along.
or remember that day when you were stressing out with your assignment and you had to go for training or work. you're just looking for that someone who is going through the same thing to complain to.
welll ...... the fact that i know someone understands me, is sooo comforting. Though he/she may be at the other end of the world, or perhaps just in the room across, someone is there for me to relate to is just sooo awesome.
but, i'm sure there come times when no one on earth understand a single thing that u're going through.
no one can relate - because you're neither here nor there.
no one can advise - because you're the first one to go through situations as such.
no one is close enough to give u a shoulder to lean on
no one is far enough to hide from you when you just want some alone time
when there's no one else, there's always one person who can do it all.
one person who truly truly and deeply understand.
He is Jesus.
Heb 4 : 15 - 16
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
do you understand?

welll ...... the fact that i know someone understands me, is sooo comforting. Though he/she may be at the other end of the world, or perhaps just in the room across, someone is there for me to relate to is just sooo awesome.
but, i'm sure there come times when no one on earth understand a single thing that u're going through.
no one can relate - because you're neither here nor there.
no one can advise - because you're the first one to go through situations as such.
no one is close enough to give u a shoulder to lean on
no one is far enough to hide from you when you just want some alone time
when there's no one else, there's always one person who can do it all.
one person who truly truly and deeply understand.
He is Jesus.
Heb 4 : 15 - 16
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
do you understand?

1 Sam 17:22
God dropped this verse in my heart for couple of days.
1 Samuel 17:22
David left his things with the keeper of supplies, ran to the battle lines and greeted his brothers.
1. He left his things with the keeper of supplies.
Perhaps sometimes, when we are called to do something, we need to leave OUR things behind with the person who can handle them best in order for us to be free, for us to not be tied down with things that would hinder or come against our way. I just realised it at 3.30am that he left the stuff with the keeper of supplies. wow. who else better that could keep our baggages than Jesus? who else better that we could trust?
2. He ran into the battle lines.
Can you imagine little David, running towards the battle line. War zone, usually, aint a pretty or attractive place. It couples with fear, death, injuries and hurts. Note the courage and boldness in David that he not only did not shrink back, but he RAN towards the battle lines.. where's not only his victory is found, but the victory of his country.
He RAN , with passion perhaps. but definitely, with a cause.
What are you doing?
3. He greeted his brothers.
hmmm. submitting to authority.
i think there's more to it than the typical david n goliath story. :) goodness :D :D
