The fear of FYP (Final Year Project) was really strong during this midst of the semester, not just in Republic Poly but every Poly! One friend encouraged me about FYP. She said FYP = Find Your Peace! Indeed, I found my peace in Jesus.
What a awakening message! As I was motivated to find my peace, I found Jesus by my side, allowing Him to strengthen me. I remembered the very day that I was staying at SMU overnight. Yes, staying overnight at SMU! Just to complete my FYP. I never believe that I'll be awake and as weird as I can be, I created this blog as the Lord told me to. I really found my peace through my trials and FYP presentation and submission was over after 24th Jan.
Have you found your peace yet? If not, what are you waiting for? =)
Be Blessed!

How great is the burden Jesus chose to carry for us on the cross
Hearing people share about the burdens of their lives...and God placed a burden in my heart for them. Just as Kenny and I were praying in the car, the burden that was building in my heart was just so much that I just cried...It was such a gut-wrenching feeling that I knew it was the Holy Spirit grieving...
It brought to my mind the burdens that each and everyone of us carries, past hurts, regrets, current problems or situations and broken relationships. How deep and heavy those burdens are...and yet Jesus chose to carry all these heavy burdens for us on the cross...As the Spirit brought me back to the cross, I'm just deeply reminded of what Jesus did on the cross for me...He took all the burdens I couldn't bear...and He can do the same for you too. He is asking if you would just let go of your burdens and look to the cross of deliverance once again.
He is our Prince of Peace...where love, hope and peace abides.

In the eyes of God
It was during the Youth Baptism service that I witnessed something really special. So special that I felt it in the most powerful way in my heart and I cried. I couldn't help it... I just cried. This can only be because of I felt God's love for another person and it is very much the same love that He has for everyone of us no matter what our condition is. No matter who we are, what we used to be, where we came from, how rich, poor, fat, thin, good looking or scared ugly. He loves us just the same. Words fail me to express how and what the love of God feels like. It must be experienced.
So this is what happened:
There was this one guy who was getting baptised and what's really special about him was that he is not just like anyone of us, blessed with the ability to be mobile by ourselves, or be able to speak with fluency. He needs to be aided by someone to stand and walk. He struggles to utter a sentence coherently. It takes great effort on his part to do something that we all can do with so much ease.
My heart leap with intense joy when he struggled on his own to respond to the pastor these words " I turn to Christ" What got me crying was when he with the help of his dad, walked all the way up and into the baptism pool to get baptised. It was awesome and I was somehow trying to contain that emotion cos I was wondering why on earth am I crying for?
It's only a few hours later as I begun thinking of it and still having the emotional manifestation, that I realised with a deep appreciation of how much God loves us and beams with so much pride when we take great effort in our frailness and weakness to honor Him the best way possible.
I am reminded that our lives are so intertwined with so much stuffs that at times, we become so dysfunctional and we can't express ourselves logically, rationally and coherently. There are times when we struggle to stand on own two feet, feeling immobilised. We are broken and are in so much need of Someone who can meet our every needs. I am encouraged to know that whatever broken stage we are in, we can with perserverance and with the help of others around us, we can be overcomers, we can be restored, we can be renewed and we can become new once again, all because God is for us. All because God loves us dearly.
Hebrews 12:1-3:
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Philippians 3:12-14 :
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

In The Beginning.....
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. - Genesis 1:1
When God created the heavens and the earth, did you ever wonder why? If not, how about when God created Humans? Even though God knew that we will fall..... Many of us live in denial each day throughout our lives, lying to ourselves that God doesn't exist. A few days ago, God inspired me to create this blog entitled: "In The World Of Sinners".
Yes! You and me, created by God, the Most High, fell into sin. All of us are sinners. Whether we make big or small mistake, whether we told a white or black lie, whether we murder or gossip, the matter of fact is, we have fallen short of the glory of God.
With this, let us ask questions to find out more about this God, this Jesus, my Best friend, companion and buddy. My challenge to you is to ask yourself, "Who Am I?"
Be Blessed!
