this blog is ressurrected!
HA! i remembered my username and password! and HA-i'm backkkkkk, bloggyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
YEAHHH and a crazy year it's been man. really. storms followed by bigger storms, followed by some sunshine, yet followed by storms again blahblah but the sunshine doesn't really matter to me, cus in the storms, it's God i wanna see, not the dumb sun. and that's cus God calms the raging seas that threaten to swallow me whole. He keeps me safe in the palm of His hand and He says, "My child, sleep in peace. For I am your Maker, so will I be your Keeper." He stills the storm. that's why there's this song that says, "In the stillness You are there".
God's grace is what saved us and God's love is what keeps us. through the (obstacle) course of this year, God has rained me with His love, most of which go unnoticed:/ ahh sorry Daddy! and part of which i see i see with my eyes, not with my heart:/ sorrysorry Daddy!! but this only says one thing - whether or not we see it, God's love ALWAYS covers us. God can love us through people, like how He blessed me with three supremely important siblings in Christ, namely(in no order) SEOK, LYNN and TIMO:))) and these three angels really bear love's flagship as in 1 Cor 13:4-7 below:
"4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (seok! find this familiar?! hee!!) and that's what the love of God did thru them for me.
seok placed my growth above the comfort of our relationship, which actually broke down for months but thank God it's never better than now:) thank you dear, i respect and admire you for that, and everything else you've done for me, as well as how you're living your life with your eyes and heart on God and nowhere else so that i have a role model to look to. and i love you.
lynn...what can i say..she's just right by my side all the time, always praying for me, always encouraging, always offering advice, always dropping nuggets of wisdom and denying so cus she's too humble(you gotta teach me some of that man). you godly woman! stop belittling yourself!! you're WISE and HUMBLE and LOVING and these are like the top qualities!!! ohman i have no idea how to convince you so but you're really great so keep doing what you've been doing cus God must be super proud of you! thank you too, i love you.
timo(TIMBO)! hello SIS!! hahah thank God for you really. you know, watching you grow in your relationship with God and subsequently rising up to put into action all those burdens God has placed in your heart is SUPERULTRA encouraging! thank you for sharing your childlike faith - it's contagious:) and don't start denying it. as i've said to you countless times, faith is like electricity, you can't see it but you can see the light. so there. you may not see how strong your faith is but others can testify to it. you spur me on to greater growth too! yesss and thanks for being all that a "sister" is to me HAHAH. no really, thank you. i love you.
yet, of all the ways through which God expresses His undying love to us, nothing beats HEARING it from Him straight. as it has been said, one word from heaven can change our eternity. and it's just so true. testimonies shared to and from all over the world speak of how people are saved just by the simple knowledge that Jesus loves them. and to whoever's reading this now, i just wanna tell you that JESUS LOVES YOU, personally, powerfully, passionately. so SMILE:))))))
