Under His Wings





The Potato is giving all praise and credit to the Lord God Almighty!!!
For He is worthy in everyway!!!

His faithfulness is awesome, His peace is so transending, And His grace is more than sufficient!

If you've read my previous post, you will know that I suffered a minor panic attact for a moment. Headache, urge to vomit, difficulty in breathing (more like hyperventilating), drumroll of hearbeats like mad and wanting to pass out...

It was not a nice experience. It was panic + scared to the max!

But in that dark hour, I cried out to Him. Surrendering all and just seeking Him for His grace and mercy.

And Lo' Behold!

His faithfulness became real. So real. So true.

I felt peace. Joy. And strength. All that was caging me before disolved and melted away. And suddenly I knew that it was not me, but Him.

It was an amazing moment.

The Lord was there, He was real and He showed me that it was going to be okay.

I am so blessed and thankful to have such an awesome God.

His faithfulness is beyond anything else!

Thank you Lord!!!!!!

The Blood of the Lamb in My Life...


Firstly before I say anything else, I wanna say all praise be to Him! For His love, grace, mercy and glory! It is undisputable! He is so awesome and I am truly honoured to serve an amazing God! :D

Thank you Lord for dying on the cross for our sins. Thank you for loving us so much. May I live a life honourable to you and continue to shine for you according to Your word. :)

Okay, next line of words is....

Sorry I have not been updating for the past couple of weeks! LOL!
It's been a really busy and hectic 2 weeks for me with 3 major assignments due one after another long with practises and preparation for Easter. But all is worth it! God is good!

About Easter, it was awesome~! Again, credit goes to Him first! Easter Vibe was great, Sunday Easter service was amazing and the skit performed not only touched hearts but mine too (was acting in it)... It is indeed wonderful to minister to others and be ministered as well. :D

For more details, pictures and fun, do check out here bout Easter Vibe Celebration. And lotsa love and well wishes to the lovely people who make it happen!!! You guys are awesome!

As for now...

I am so relieved now after submitting my last assignment (for now) and guess what? It's officially Easter break (one week) now!!! Wohooo...!!!

I am planning to spend it with myself, pretty much. Yes I know it's kinda anti-social and selfish, but I've been so busy lately that I'm kinda tired physically (lotsa aches too) that I just wanna see myself through these holidays by resting, sleeping, doing my own things and catching up with myself (lol).

Not to mention I wanna devote this time with Him too.... :)
I need my quiet time. To speak and to be spoken to.

I've currently taken a new habit of wanting to healthy (dont' know konon or not for now)...
Wakaka, I know... me healthy??? Unbelievable right?
Here's the thing, I've been noticing that I've been consuming a lot of oily and fried food lately and pimple are just screaming out (stress added to that too) along with a thicker waistline (gasp). And after doing my Conflict Management assignment on issues management where my research topic was about managing obesity in Malaysia, many things start to sink in. Believe me, when you go through so much reading on obesity and knowing the heavy facts... things change a little. For example, with my current eating habits and favourite choice of food consumption, I am on a high percentage of 50% or more to be obsese later....OH NO!!! And also... on the highway to an early funeral! *gasp*
So I've taken a some condsideration into moderating my eating habits and start exercising (don't pop your eyes people! lol). Of course I'm not going to be anti-fast food (after all, McD and I have a contract, lol) or be a vegetarian. I am still going to eat the things I like (maybe NOT so much....konon) but balance it up with lotsa veggies and fruits (I know.. unbelievable right?)...
And of course exercise.. which I have still yet to do... hmmm....

Anyways, I'll try to update my bloggie more, hehe. And do keep coming. If anyone of you are free or in need of company to eat Ikea Swedish meatballs with, I'm here. Tehee.. :)

Have a blessed week people and may God's love shine on you! HUGS! :D

p/s: oh, and here is a big cheers to all my friends especially the angels of my life who have encouraged, supported and loved me for who I am. I am so blessed to have you girl! *hugs*

Night Rainbow....



Currently Listening to:
One Tree Hill;
Season 6,
Episode 18



The Potato is glad and proud to have observed Earth Hour with daddy and mummy~! :D


I know there are many cynical and skeptical people out there who thinks this is a stupid and useless thing.... But what they don't see is the bigger picture of it.

The bigger picture where the world, people, citizens (all different in their own way) stand united for a good course. To make a statement and to make a difference. And yes, one dark house can make a difference. For you bear a testimony to the world and you made a stand.


"A single grain of sand can tip the scale and one man can be the difference between victory and defeat." ~ Emperor of China, Mulan.


It is about a change of mind, a mentality, a mindset, to become a civilised world. To move on to a more advance way of life where we care not only about ourselves bout also for the future of others. :)

So, if you're making a stand, be it for or against, do think, is it's for a bigger picture? A bigger course? A bigger vision? A bigger mind? A bigger world? Or some form of selfishness?


Because you can make a difference.
So stand out and stand loud! :D


"It's okay to be the one person to try to make a difference in the world. Cause sometimes all it takes, is one person to change the world". :)

I praise God for He is ever GOOD and FAITHFUL!!! He has blessed me with joy, peace, wonder, love, friends, family, amazing people and so much more.

Praise be to God Almighty!!! All glory to Him! :D

Thank you to sweet people (friends) in my life for encouraging and blessing me through my trying days. I heart you guys. :D

A Spark of Miracles!


Currently Listening to: One Way by Hillsong

I attended a Healing Rally by Bishop Rovert Kayanja which was recently hosted by ECF (the church I'm currently attending) at a big Chinese Pestaurant in Puchong. And it was awesome to the max!!!! It was my first time witnessing miracles with my own two eyes and how amazing God is. The deaf were healed and the blind saw light again.... right before my very eyes!

How can one witness such and not believe?

And yes, I believe, I believe and MORE! There is no doubt of it. My God is ever real, true, gracious, loving, glorious and FANTABULOUS!!! :D

It was amazing. It was miracle in the making. And it was real!

Here are some pics and videos I managed to take.... sorry if it's blur... I used my camera phone (only 1.3 megapixel). There are so much more, but I couldnt continue taking pics or videos anymore throughout the nite for I was too busy clapping, shouting, being touched, crying and giving Him praise for His awesome miracles!


He called forth the deaf (left)and blind (right)....

And we all prayed.... lifting our hands, hearts, mind, voices and all to Him

And the healing begins...

Blurry pic... This is Bishop Kayanja, the vessel of God's healing to the deaf.


And we all clap, shout and give praise to Him... for the deaf was could now hear again!!

You have no idea, how amazed, touched and happy I was.... Witnessing his grace and awesomeness was amazing!

Praise be to Him!!!! :D

And God touched more people that night... not only the deaf but also the blind. Lives were changed and by witnessing such, I knew I serve a great, almighty and awesome God! Amen!

And that, is undeniable -ever!!!

Here are some videos I managed to take...



This second video is amazing because I managed to capture moments where God (through Bishop Kayanja) healed a deaf (from birth) girl... It's a little draggy and long in the beginning but it's worth it when you witness the miracle and hear the roars of praise to Him. God is awesome (yes, I've said it many times but I won't ever stop for He is so much more then that)!!




Amazing ain't it.... PRAISE BE TO HIM!!!!

That night was only the first night. The second night however was even more awesome (according to all who went). But unfortunately, I couldn't go. :( :( :(

I would really like you to continue reading more about His glory, grace and AWESOMENESS here
It's a post composed by a dear friend (Carissa!!!!) who attended the second night of the Healing Rally. Her testimony is so beautiful (of His glory) that I had to pass the word and share (hope that's okay honey!). Please read and be more awed by Him! :D

Thank you for reading people and I hope it touched you and made you see how amazing and real God is!

Blessed be His name!

Currently Listening to: Awesome God by Hillsongs

It's been a week since I've updated? Internet has been a little draggy lately and the pics of my second post (day 1 part 2) on Cambodia has yet to come back from the shop (who is repairing my camera and memory card - hope the all pics will be saved!) Hence, it'll have to wait a bit...

Anyway, to carry on with life... a new semester is starting this week and I pray that all goes well by the grace of God. May lecturers be nice and assignments be gentle. May I be more hardworking and more attentive to my work. I hope this new semester will bring lots more of joyous memories to my life with my dear friends. And to those away in Perth, you have my love and care! All the best!

Just to scream a little here.... :

Passion World Tour Concert was awesome!!!!!


Oh yeah!!! God is truly amazing! His grace is ever so abundant and I am ever thankful for Him. 'Miracles' took place tonight in the concert and I couldn't smile wider in my heart nor weep enough to re-pay Him of his grace and faithfulness! The unexpected became real and 'Passion' was the indeed the suited word for what I experienced tonight. Indeed.... He is awesome and ever amazing.

I met many people that I haven't seen in aeons and I am glad people in my life be it past, present or future, share the same and wonderous God whom bind us together in Christ. And hence, no matter how far or how long we are apart, we will always re-join back together in Him. I meet friends from HLLC, very OLD friends from HLLC, college people, schoolmates from seconday school, childhood friends and even made a new friend - Teri!!

And this is the first time in a very long time where I saw lots of cute guys (in ONE place in ONE time)...hahah :P Indeed, there were a lot of good looking hunks and that is rare to behold. LOL! Usually, you can't event find one if you spend an entire day walking in the mall. But today, I saw at least 10 and more in one night. Okay...haha, FYI, it is just a statement, nothing more. I am not interested la, just found it interesting to behold (wasn't common to behold such sight ok..lol).

But of course the main reason and focus there was J-E-S-U-S!!! And indeed He was the main event for more than 4000 Campus students! He rocks!!! :D

"I was made by Him for His glory."


"With all that I am now and all that I can do, use me Lord and let me shine for You.
I am Yours."


And I thank You for all that You are and for Your faithfulness that has touched me so much tonight. Jesus, you're amazing! :)

And all the time, God is good!"

God is always so gracious and faithful. He is ever amazing and awesome. I am so thankful that I have Him in my life! Glory be to God Almighty for He is greatly worthy to be praised!

Gliding on Rainbows



Currently Listening to: Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield


Second post of the day... I'm just freaking bored.


Things to do: CUT NAILS!

They aren't that long... but I am not used to 'long' nails (always had em short) and despite trying to grow em and paint them bloody red, I can't seem to tahan the consequences of having long nails! It's mahfan... feel's sharpy, uncomfortable in typing (like now), playing the piano and violin (believe it or not, I actually played the both of em today... see my boredom?! LOL!) and it pokes my eyes when I try to take my contact lenses off. Plus, with my skin condition, my mum would chop my fingers off if she saw even a 'slice' of white enamel on my fingers.


Things to do 2: Read the Bible more!

I am very free. Totally free and somewhat to the point where boredom comes into my life's picture like white to a paper. And I think this is a perfect time to meditate, pray and read the Bible, spend some quality time with God. Or should I say, MORE time with Him. And I have a few good book unread about my journey with Him. I should read more... yes I should! And I am not saying that I only spend time with God when I am free. Trust me, if I didn't pray those prayers all day in my end of semester (tension time), I would have not gotten through the pressure, stress and hardships or final assignments and exams. I give all the credit and glory to Him! I am not smart nor am I a study person but by His grace I managed to pull through.


No, you can't pray to pass but you can pray that God will give you the spirit of wisdom, knowledge and understanding. The peaceful and alert mind to remember and a hardworking heart to study well and pass you exams. :)


p/s: A follower of Christ should always put Him first, even in your busy days. Don't let Him be second priority or anything less than the first. He deserves the best. So don't leave Him for only your spare time or when you're bored. When you're really free, that's when you need to spend MORE time and even when you're not free... Do it too. And believe it or not, when you put Him first in your busy times, He actually helps unload the burden to concentrate more on Him. God is amazing~ ! :)


Time with God VS man made work = *you know who wins* :D


Obvious tips: Even when you're going through a hurricane of stress and hardship be it work or studies... just apply God's word in your life. Depend in Him, trust in Him (PRAY) and know that "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all else shall be added unto You."

Amen!


And suddenly, from a blog entry on boredom, it turned out to be me telling myself (and hopefully others reading this) that in Him I can never be bored (unless you choose to be and then you're not in Him lo :P). God is always waiting for us to talk to Him. He deserves our very best and time. So pray and spend time with Him, busy or free. You'll notice that the reward is priceless!


Have a happy day in Him and God bless!


*Hugs*

I serve an AWESOME GOD!!!!


Currently Listening to: Awesome God by Hillsong



I serve an awesome God!
He is ever amazing and faithful.

Love Him lots!


I was in rage and my heart could only dwell in it to satisfy my worldly nerves. It was torturing and tiring. I was stuffed with so much anger and almost hate inside of me. Nothing seemed sweet then and nothing was right in my mind. But God was and is always gracious. He took me into His love and grace, granted me peace of mind and subdued my flame. By embracing Him instead of my wordly feelings, I attained a peace of mind and a more joyful heart. I find it ever so amazing on how God works in our lives. He manages to form little miracles and change us in many fascinating ways. I am so glad, so happy and so grateful that I didn't follow on with my selfish and angry feelings (which would still made me sucky now if I did) but turned to Him then. Sure the temptation to stay angry to satisfy myself was very "sweet" and alluring but I knew my Lord had a better plan to install in me. A better heart, a better feeling and a better life free from anger and hate. God is so amazing. He can work wonders and so much more in your life only if you let Him. I did it tonight, I managed to let my worldly feelings go and turn to Him, to trust Him, to obey Him and to follow Him. And I am completely happy that I did so! The peace and joy I'm experiencing now is just beautiful! I wish you could feel it too....


"So trust in Him, depend in Him and obey His ways... For He'll lay your path straight!"


All praise and glory goes to the Lord God Almighty!



~Jesus rules, reigns and rocks!~

Over the Rainbow and into Your arms


Calm my heart O Lord,
Let it be filled with love, patience and understanding.


Let not my heart be clouded with anger and judgement,
But overflowing with joy and grace.


Teach me Lord to control my temper,
And to watch my words and actions.


Grant me a clear conscience,
And a stready mindset to act according to Your ways.


Help me to set a good example to those around me,
And to be a useful vessel unto Thy glorious name.

Show me Thy ways,
So that I may follow them.


Guard my heart Lord,
And let it be strengthened with obedience.


~ Amen~

Angels Brought Me Here....



Currently Listening to:

Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What A Wonderful World
by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (OST: Meet Joe Black)



Suddenly, I feel free, fresh and alive inside. The song may be the reason to it (lovely peaceful song) but I think t's more than it. Maybe it was the heavy rain in the afternoon. Or the companionship of comfortable and friends today. Or maybe it was Him. Him smilling down on me, being ever more gracious and loving. *Smiles*


Indeed this is a wonderful world (note the song). Sure it may be a little rotten but from where I'm seeing it, despite all the noise, pollutions and hardships all around, I can see its natural beauty in all its splendour. It is indeed at a point, a true wonder. And indeed it is God's grace and blessing. He made it all so wonderful (only men made it the way it is now - spoilt and polluted).


I wanna thank Him for all his blessings here. If we embrace more of Him, I'm sure the world would be more wonderful. Sometime in your life, take a moment in acknowledging the serenity of our world and be grateful that we are not suffering a war or a natural disaster.

Be grateful and be happy. :)
