Ps 139:7-12

7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

I like how this passage continues. All of a sudden, memory verses and songs are popping up in my thoughts.

You are here.

shoulda, woulda, couldas

In life, shit happens. Sometimes we expect it, most times it totally throws us off our feet. When it does happen, though, we always try to find ways to undo it – think of how we could have prevented it from happening, what we could have done differently or what went wrong in the process. Basically a “what if” and should have/would have/could have fest.

But, to what avail? Mistakes are mistakes. What has been done has been done, what has been said has been said. We can only wish it didn’t happen but what good does wishing do? It doesn’t change anything.

Everywhere around me – tv, movies, facebook – screams out to me the “reality” of relationship breakdowns. The norm nowadays is that of betrayal and distrust. And the usual reaction is always hate and terror and ugly. But even though they may find closure in the form of hateful remarks, the questions always remain – why, was s/he  (insert adjective here)    –er than me, how, what did I do wrong. Why is it always the “victim” seems to be the one at fault? While the one who inflicted pain goes away scot free? All they can ever say is the meaningless “sorry” because anyway they already cut the strings, they have no more obligations. They don’t have to think of the heart-stopping sting and how long it takes just to set in and then for it to heal. Just sting and bye-bye, I’m gone.

The reality is that trust is taken for granted.

I have a good heart. It just tends to get screwed over by people who have no appreciation for it.

God, why me, AGAIN?! What did I do wrong to be treated this way?

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

There is no way I will ever understand, how or why.

Hate me now, don’t you? That’s why you can’t accept that I am angry.

Pay the price

Valuable things cost something. We must decide whether we are willing to pay the price…How valuable something is to you determines the price you are willing to pay for it. Every time you pay the price it makes you stand taller. It makes you stand stronger, and you become a bigger person in Christ. If you are facing a cost, don’t pull back from it. Pay the price to be an overcomer…It’s worth the price – it cost Jesus everything to offer (a relationship) to you.

Revelation 21:6-7 “It is done. I am the Aplha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son”

Ps 139:23

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Tragic.

Talk about something eventful in my day.

Today I decided to go out for a bit to get groceries, and I got thrown onto the bus floor coz I was standing when the bus screeched to a halt suddenly 😦

Driver had to stop nearby to make sure everyone was okay..

I secretly wish there was more damage than just a few bruises…

stars in the night sky

or on my wardrobe door 🙂

The other day I finished pasting my glow in the dark stars on my wardrobe door. And just as I was about to fall asleep, I do this thing now where I just stare at them and think.

And I was reminded of Abram, who was promised offspring as numerous as the stars in the night sky. And that was when it was credited to him as righteousness. (Gen 15:4-6)

At that time, he was already in old age, and so was Sarai, who would think of the possibility of a natural child at that age? But he believed.

And so will I.

And I don’t mean for a child. -_-||

When God speaks..

He SPEAKS! Anything, anyone….will start to make statements and points you never thought was possible..

One thing that God has been consistently saying to me since I came to Brisbane is that He LOVES me. No, not that shallow “I love you” while screwing you over with another girl kind of love [whether or not the previous 4 yrs was good and loyal – there is NEVER a justification for cheating and then going off with her]. And it still gets to me everytime I hear it.

Psalms 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,  and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Being strong is so demanding! God please speak more so that I can drown out the voices!

Why love scum when you can have beautiful corals?

Wake me up when …. ends

There are 5 stages of grief: denial. anger. bargaining. depression. acceptance.

Oh God, please just take me to my happy ending already…
