Dear you,

I don't know if you will ever see this, but here goes...

Thank you for spending time with me
Thank you for making me laugh, making me smile
Thank you for feeding me
Thank you for walking beside me
Thank you for holding my hand

Though it was a brief period of time, thank you for the memories
for that's all that's left between the two of us

i wish you well in all you do
i wish you well in love

i wish you happiness
i wish you peace

if we ever meet again,
strangers we will be.
this way you would probably know,
i've already set you free.

Love,

Living on a diet of Chocolates & Cigarettes
I wanna call you again
Ill drink tea sometimes when its cold
This is getting old
I call you again

Still too young to fail, too scared to sail away
But one of these days Ill grow old
And Ill grow brave and Ill go
One of these days

Blowing out the candles from my cake
I choke on the smoke as I look around the room
Everybodys wishing for no more mistakes
And all that I can think about is you

Dear Lord,

But it's so hard Lord.

It feels like a thousand insecurities just fell on me
Oh Lord, this bondage I'm under
makes me feel like a total blunder

Lord, Only you will know
& you understand
of what I'm going through
All I'm doing is just looking to you

I know Lord, you are my saviour
and my restoration.
you are my confidence
in you I find salvation.

Lord, thank you for taking each step with me
with you here, theres nothing I fear
though my emotions take me on a ride,
towards your love, I will adhere

Sometimes the inevitable happens
Sometimes we fall in love
Sometimes the person we love, leaves
Sometimes we get hurt
Sometimes things do not go as plan
Sometimes love doesn't last
Sometimes we fall
Sometimes we wish we never lived
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we feel so hopeless, helpless
Sometimes everything seems to be going wrong
Sometimes we forget how it feels like to be happy, to be loved

But throughout all these "sometimes", He never left us.
Our comforter, our beloved, our confidant
Our provider, our only friend, our brother
Our lover, our shelter, our one and only,
Our Abba Daddy.

We get hurt, but He restores.
He seals our broken hearts.
He knows what we go through.
He has gone ahead of us,
and He says that the road ahead is good.
Just trust in Him, stay in His presence,
& keep Him as the priority and focus in all things,
and it shall all be fine.

with much love,
TGND

To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

For with us, nothing entails

sometimes it's so hard to dwell amongst non-believers.
but then again, that's the world, unavoidable.
but i'm so so so so glad i am a child of daddy God.
the most awesome, most amazing, most powerful daddy anyone can have.
and i know that i am super blessed and that his love, favour, grace, blessings is flowing down all over me.
i just await the day i see Him and the day i can be with Him.

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fears swept away
In the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone

No weeping no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now
You hold me now

In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails
Where Your Name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'm believing for the day

Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven
Rise to You alone

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your Name

My priority is God

I've learnt not to focus on pleasing people,

I only need to please God

I've learnt not to seek happiness in people

My happiness is God

For people will always disappoint,

But God keeps his promises

People will cause you hurt,

But in God we seek solace

People will cause you to doubt yourself,

But God gives one security

People will create much uncertainty,

Because only for God, I'm certain

Lord, it’s tough to be who I am;

one who’s easily overwhelmed by her own emotions.

Lord, how much I yearn to see your face;

but till that day, I’ll continue doing your works.

Lord, I know you’re here with me;

when I’m down, & when my smile loses its shape.

Lord, you are my wisdom and my strength;

with you, I’m able to do things I never thought I could.

Lord, remind me to always thank you;

for that one thing; the forgiveness of sin.

Lord, though I fail and I falter,

your love for me remains true.

Lord, though I may speak unkind words,

you see past my faults and mistakes.

Lord, you are all I’m living for;

not only today, but every single day from now on.

Lord, I delight myself in you and in your love,

knowing that in return, you will give me the desires of my heart.

Lord, you are the only reason worth living;

yesterday, today, forever you’re the same.

And as I wait patiently on you Lord,

I’ll pray.

Ands besides praying Lord,

I’ll give thanks.

And while I am thankful for all that I have,

I’ll feed.

I’ll feed on your word Lord,

and your words I will meditate.

And through it all Lord Jesus,

I’ll stay true.

Though things might not go my way,

I’ll stay true.

And through it all Daddy God,

one thing remains unchanged;

that you will always love me,

and I’ll never stop loving you.

I will listen and I will be still.

my life- I know you long to fulfill.

Let your spirit move in me;

remove all the worlds’ hostility.

praise you and just dwell in you.

Most importantly, I’ll guard my heart;

trusting that you will do your part.

What a crazy need!
The view from here seems sad
But the truth will set me free.

Truthfulness and honesty,
How could it be?
The view from here seems sad
But the truth will set me free.

Evidence of my life
Condemned me can't you see?
The view from here seems sad
But the truth will set me free.

From this place of sorrow
How can I leave?
The view from here seems sad
But the truth will set me free.

God does not condemn me,
Oh what a love has He.
The view from here seems sad
But the truth will set me free.

Could this grace be true?
He tells me to believe.
The view from here says maybe
The truth will set me free.

To love as God now loves,
How can I achieve?
The view from here seems possible
The truth has set me free.

Though it happens often to people,

I wish I could just throw everything away

I wish I could just wake up knowing I have nothing on my agenda

I wish there was more meaning in life to carry on living

I wish I wasn't the way I am

I wish I could run away to wherever

I wish I didn't have to worry about the outstanding assignments & work

I wish I could cry without having swollen eyes thereafter

I wish life was much easier (not that its darn hard right now but yeah)

It's days like these, I doubt life.

The only joy in celebrating Christmas

is because it's the birthday of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

With Him, my life is now complete.

Happy Birthday Abba Father.

And to everyone else, a very Blessed Christmas.

Luke 1:26-38

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."

"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"

The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God."

"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.

Instead on focusing on the things that are making me unhappy, I shall focus on the things which I am fortunate enough to have and things which makes me smile.

Here's 5 things that made me smile today:

1) my little pooch trying to wake me up in the morning

2) the fact that i woke up alive & healthy

3) knowing that there is One above smiling down at me

4) walking past a shop full of childhood biscuits & sweets during lunch

5) receiving nice pink presents from a friend for the pooch

I shall do this often enough to block out the unhappiness and displeasures in my life.

Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward

for their labour.

For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.

But woe to him who is alone when he falls,

For he has no one to help him up.

Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;

But how can one be warm alone?

- Ecclesiastes 4:9-11

Sometimes I feel like I've been misunderstood as a person.

Yet I don't see the need to explain myself or to clarify anything at all.

I feel, I do & I say what I want.

Like Dr. Seuss once said:

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

Each brand new day,
brings a new breath of life.
The gloominess has gone away,
brighter days have arrived.

It’s never as bad as it seems,
only what I make it to be.
With greater faith and His Loving-kindness,
better days ahead-now I can see.

My Lord, my God,
with you in me, my life is nothing but glee.

Warning: personal rant; may bore you.

I cannot decipher what I’m feeling right now. Turning 21 in a matter of days and honestly I don’t feel the hype. No fancy parties, no pricey gifts. Some say it’s the “coming of age” and others say “freedom”. But I’ve always had freedom so it doesn’t make any difference.

I feel the pressure- the pressure of being an adult. The countless responsibilities and I still feel like I’m not ready. For what- I do not know. I guess as you grow older, people expect more of you; to do more, to know more, to give more, everything-more.

And every birthday, I always want to see a change in myself be it outward or inward. I’m going to be a year older yet I am still so insecure about everything. And I am not displaying the traits I ought to display. I’m so unhappy and disappointed with myself.

Oh Lord…………

Fear imprisons, faith liberates;

fear paralyzes, faith empowers;

fear disheartens, faith encourages;

fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable- and,

most of all, fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life,

while faith rejoices in its God.

Often when we look for answers, we automatically go where the light is better. But sometimes we need to go where it’s dark.

This feeling that I’m feeling;
too hard to decipher.

This feeling seems similar
to the one I felt last November.

But just what it is,
I can’t really tell.

All I want is
for it to dispel

Maybe it’s the heart,
that’s giving me a sign.

Maybe it’s telling me,
to move on (yet again)-its time.

A state of curiosity

A state of peace

A state of uncertainty

A need to be appeased

A state of emptiness

A state of pain

A state of euphoria

What's left to gain?

A state of happiness

A state of tears

A state of entity

Let's bury those fears

A state of confusion

A state of grief

A state of elation

Oh what a relief!

A state of nothing,

We have troubles around us, but we are not

defeated. We do not know what to do, but

we do not give up the hope of living. We are

persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are

hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9

The time is comin
It's coming soon
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my shoes
I was lost, but now I'm found
And all my troubles are turning around

Oh I feel I've been so close to you
Heavens holding my hand
And I'm ready to break on through

So I'm tearing down the walls inside
Letting go of all my pride
Make it home before the lie
I dont need to hide inside this shell
This shell
No more

I dont know my right from left
And I've been going around this bend
So many miles I have roamed

Lately I feel like I'm coming home
Oh I'm getting so close to you
Heavens lighting a candle and I'm ready
To break on through

So I'm tearing down the walls inside letting go
Of all my pride
Make it home before the lie
I dont need to hide inside this shell
This shell no more
No more

Silly as it seems,

I thought things would be fine.

I must admit,

I waited, most of the time.

Often I felt disappointed,

wondering if it's right.

Wondering if it's you,

I should be thinking of at night.

Try as I may,

I thought I can't.

It isn't as easy as it seems;

liking someone.

do you get me?

~可是我有时候
宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透
也许你会陪我看细水长流~

The secret of life is letting go;

the secret of love is letting it show.
