above all else

I was pondering about things that Father has showed me for the past few weeks. Practicum ended and what's next was probably the biggest question I have now.

I am grateful for how He has been with me and carried me through the past 5 and a half year of my uni life. I miss those time in welly and I am going to miss it here in IPBA too.. btw, we have got new name.. it's called IPGM-KBA! haha.. such a long one but sound very 'keng'!

"close your eyes and let God put a song in your heart." I read this line somewhere and it sparked a little something in my heart.

I really thank God for opening up doors for me to share the songs with friends that never heard them before. Along with that, I shared my testimony of how God set me free and restored my life. I was really encouraged when some of them started to sing along, I was even more amazed when a few shared how some of the words in the lyrics spoke to them and reminded them about something. I was totally blown off by this, Dad. Thanks and praise God.

Not only that, as I shared, I began to remember His faithfulness and His perfect timing for everything in my life. Sometimes it was really difficult but He always surprises me in the end. The key is perseverance.

Then, few days ago, He opened up the privilege for me to meet someone who has experience in worship and song writing. His album is going to be released soon. I heard one of his song when a friend played it in the office. It was awesome. Praise God. I had a few words with him and even by just talking to him about all this passion in song writing and music, my heart was racing for it's really such an encouraging encounter.

I missed the worship central launching this morning. =( I miss my guitar, B.J. ... B.J. looked different the last time I saw it, a heart breaking moment.

Father, as I step out from where I am today, and begin to learn and discover more of You and who You have called me to be, I pray that You'll show me the way and bring me up to the next level of faith in this walk with You. All glory be unto You, amen.

Albert Eistein says "there are perhaps two way you can live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle, one is as though EVERYTHING is a miracle." which one? the choice is yours!

GBU.

signing off for now with a big smile for u,

aud

worship central..

yes..
may be not...
hmm.. yes?
no?

okay.. may be I should.
YES!


and yep.. I ended up at worship central session last night. It was a NO regret. I am glad I went.

Tim Hughes and the team were awesome. It felt as if I was back in Arise again! Gosh, I miss those days of loud and vibrant worship sessions. Some of our friends from Bethany Kuching were here. Delighted to see them again! Miss u all heaps!

Anyway, it has been great. They shared about worship and two essential words that I caught last night were "PASSION" and "COURAGE"... we need both in our life. Amen!

Anyway, yesterday had been a long but not so fruitful day.

What have I been up to after the exams?
Intel course. Something that makes me feel 'crippled' in the inside especially when I have to work with my 'old ye faithful laptop'. Yea.. despite of all the viruses, super lag response and adapter that has 'moodswing', the "peek-a-boo-moments" with my word docs and the systems that "eat" up some of my files without notifying me .etc... it's amazing how tech can spice up our life.

I can imagine some of you screaming back to my ears, "Audddd... get a new lappie, please!"

yes yes! I know I know.. I need some prayers and support to work things out le.. or may be just wait for a bit more time to collect enough resources. Hehe. Yea. May be I have arrived at the stage where most of us feel that we'll be fine taking care of ourselves without making our parents worry about it.. dont really want to burden them more as they have done so much for us all these years..

But God's my strength and provider. Wait on Him, take heart and be strong..

today's devotional speaks about Provision..

you can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, His generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. (Phil 4:19- MSG)

that's all for now. =)
