The Shack

I just finished a book titled "The Shack" by WM. Paul Young. This book is amazing. It really changed my perspective towards God the father, Jesus and the holy spirit. And it has really drawn me closer to God, about how God feels about me, human in general and the wonderful work of Jesus on the cross.

It really is a great story. I bought this book when I was in Australia for holiday. I was walking in the bookstore, walking past this book, deciding whether or not to get it, walked around, in the end I bought it and I'm so glad I did!

I just keep thinking about the story, not the storyline, but rather what is said in the story about God the trinity. And it has been really an eye-opener for me at least, to see God in this light.

God really loves me very very much and thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me..... :)

A Miracle
------------------

A miracle happened today. I prayed for one of my church friends and she got healed. AMEN!!

3 weeks ago, I noticed she was walking with a limp, so I asked her if one of her legs is longer than the other and she said yes. At first I thought she was limping because of her previous injury but apparently it was not.

God has placed a burden on me to pray for her, which is what I prayed for, to start praying for people I know. So we came to an agreement to come together to pray today. God is soooooo patient with me, thank you Abba Father!

Today on the way to church, I kind of chicken out. I told God to not Ellen go serve so that I do not have to pray for her, I mean, it's a big thing, we are praying for her legs to grow the same length!!I mean, what if God don't heal her? There were doubts in me, but God of course has another plan.

Throughout the MRT trip to church, He was speaking to me, telling me to go ahead and do it, because it's what He wants me to do.

So I said, ok whatever, since you want me to, I'll just go ahead and do it and you handle the consequences! haha, such little faith I have.

But God is faithful. I got her to sit on a chair, and wanted to see which leg was shorter. But I couldn't really see, nonetheless I still go ahead and pray. A simple prayer, asking God to lengthen the shorter leg.

When I said "amen", Ellen immediately asked me if it was the left leg which was shorter, I said I dont know, but she was so excited because she said she felt a sensation and that as if something is being pulled and lengthen!! My goodness, I was so touched, I cried. She then walked and now she walks with no limping at all! Amen and amen! God honours His word and I'm so honoured that He chooses to deliver it through me.

Thank you Lord Jesus.

Updates

It's been a crazy 3 months since I last blog. Where did all the time go?! Hahhaa...well, nothing much happened these 3 months, my face has gotten a lot better, thank God, so I'm just going to stick to the doc's product and maybe use less of it so that I'm not totally dependent on it.

Hmm...don't know what to write about.....I just watched "Sex and the City - the movie". I just love the character "Carrie" in the movie. In the movie, her bf and her were planning to get married, but at the very last min, the guy freaked out and decided not to go through the wedding, she was soooo upset. Good thing she has 3 very good friends, friends who will go through thick and thin with her. Which makes me wonder how nice is it to have friends that you will always meet, talk your heart out about everything, basically just people who you can call at any time of the day. I'm nt a very social social person I think, I'm not good at keeping in touch with people, somehow, I'm always alone.

Being alone is not such a bad thing, I'm used to being alone after so many years. I've got a job where I've not got any colleagues. I talk to kids all the time, I hear about them talking to me about their friends, their school, the tuitions, their learning journey....etc etc. No talks about marriage, about finding a bf which is nice sometimes :P

Yesterday I was watching this tv show "America got talent". This 80 or 90 year old lady said this "You never know what's there tomorrow, so what's the harm of trying" something along this line. Which is so true. Life is unpredictable, God knows what is going to happen tomorrow not us, so we should make full use of every opportunity we have, try new things, learn to say "yes" more rather than choosing the easy way out and stay comfortable.

I'm speaking to myself as I'm writing this. I feel like I should really be saying yes more to things, go out know more people, do new things, learn another skill etc etc.... :)

Sunday!
----------

What do most of you do on Sun? I love Sunday; i sleep until i wake up naturally, then eat breakfast, then laze around, pack orders to be mailed on Monday, watch tv, etc etc.

Anyway, my face has gotten a bit better. During the weekdays, I tried to let my face "breathe" and not put any more makeup on it. Yes, I go out with a lot of redness on my face to scare people! Hahaha...no lah, it's a lot better now for me to accept and to go out without makeup. But if I'm still meeting my friends, I'll still put a bit :P hehee...

Thurs I had dinner with a few poly mates. Quite nice, but the food wasnt fantastic! haha...But it was nice to see them again and just to chit chat. Adam has done lasik!!! My goodness, I'm still very afraid to do it. My aunts have done it and they are so happy with it, adam said he's also very happy with the results.

I'm still contemplating.....hehee...I'm a scary cat! :P But I've been wanting to go for the Bate's method seminar, where they talked about natural healing of the eyes. It does make sense acutally, all parts of our body can heal itself, why not the eyes? It's just that we've been relying on the "eye clutches" that it makes it harder and almost impossible for the eyes to heal.

Oh well, for anyone who is interested in the Bate's method, http://www.thebatesmethod.com
I have the pin hole glasses and I use them every now and then. It's really amazing I feel, like I would wear it for maybe 20mins then after that, when I put back my glasses, the vision becomes clearer! I also don't quite understand. I bought the book by the author and read it through, but it's a little too technical for me to understand :P

Later I'm off to church, and today my dear friend Roger is going with me! ^_^

The quest for nice clear skin!!!!
---------------------------------

I'm so sad...... :(

My face is "disfigured". I've got so many pimple marks left behind by pimples that now, I'll always put on a bit of makeup before I go out n meet people.

Sigh...Pimples has been my trouble lately. And they really grow n grow, but now they've stopped because I've gone back to the doctor.

Few months back, I wanted to break away from the doc's product. Somehow, something in me tells me they are no good for me, and someone in the mall convinced me that the doc's prod are too strong chemically, so it's not good for the skin. In the end, I buy her story and bought her prod.

So that's the start of all the trouble. So I started using and then pimples after pimples just keeps popping on my face! I became so depressed!! Really...having a clear skin is soooo important to me I realised.

Sigh, so to cut the long story short, I've now got the after effects and are "scarred" with the pimples' marks. I'm back to using the doctor's prod, things have gotten a bit better. I still go out with makeup, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can "face" the world again with my naked face...

I've not got such a pimples face ever, this is really me feel so depressed. Now I understand that having good skin is important, but nonetheless, it doesn't says much about a person too! :P hahhaa

I've also realised it's hard to see past the physical appearance sometimes. So people, take care of your face!! hahhaa...

So if anyone has any good remedy for clearing pimples' marks, please let me know!! :)

Happy 牛year!

It's CNY again. How fast. This year's CNY seems to be faster than usual. Today is the 1st day of CNY. As usual, we went to our ah-ma's place and had lunch there. Nothing new, except that my eldest cousin brought his "future" wife today :)

Heard that they are getting married this year! Congratulations. And as usual, I'm still getting the question, when's your turn! haha...Oh well, I've been quite used to this question already :P I'm not worried, I'm not anxious, because I know I'll get married! Yeah! Haha ^_^

Few days ago, I turned 30 year old. Somehow, I like the feeling that I'm 30 yr old. I think it's funny, but somehow I think being 30 makes me feel good!! hahhaa...

Had a blessed birthday this year; I've got blessed with an ipod touch! yippy! I had dinner with a few of my church friends, and I only wanted them to contribute to my "ipod touch fund" but in the end, the amount they gave me is really close to what I have to pay! I was soooooo touched!

I'm going to go get it this week! hehe...so excited..
